Bow.

As the earliest long-range weapon used by mankind, the bow has played a vital role in the development of mankind. It can be said that it was not until human beings possessed bows and arrows that they had real advantages over other races with natural claws, fangs, thick poison, and thick armor, and they became the well-deserved chief of all things. It was also from this moment that humanity even influenced the fate of races as powerful as dragons.

According to incomplete statistics, it was not until the moon turned red for the first time, that is, about 15,000 years ago, that the concept of bow power was first introduced into the management of military equipment.

The so-called bow force refers to the force required to pull a bow out. The specific measurement method is to use a fixed hanging scale to weigh the weight of the bow itself. Next, hang the hook in the center of the back of the bow and hang the weight on the bowstring, increasing the weight until the bowstring is fully opened. At this time, the weight of the bow + the weight of the weight, which is the bow force of the bow.

Generally speaking, a good longbowman in the army must draw a bow weighing more than 30 kilograms, and must shoot 3 arrows (i.e. 36) in a row within 10 minutes. Generally, the second-line troops of the Empire need to be able to draw a 20-kilogram horn bow, and the worst swordsman battalion trainers must also be able to draw a 10-kilogram short bow.

Archers who wield horned bows and longbows must master the art of using bows and arrows, especially long-range shots.

The archers of each army have different angles and different colored lines on the back of the hands holding the archers, and each line represents the distance of the arrows shot at this height, and the position of the medium and long distances is controlled by this method. A good archer can even correct the distance of his own ultra-long-range rapid-fire according to the direction of the wind, and the error is very small.

- "Chi Yizi, Bow Said" Chapter 23 The Black Dragon Iron Horse, Chi Changyun was holding the Qiushui long sword left by Gaozu in his hand. It is said that this sword comes from the elven clan, the whole body is glowing with a bright green light, extremely sharp, and it is with this sword that Gaozu helped the founding monarch of the empire to lay down the country for more than 500 years. And this sword can only be held by the head of the house. Now it seems that it was the grandfather who gave it to the father and the father who gave it to the elder brother.

The sharpness of the Xinghan longsword is not comparable to ordinary weapons at all, not to mention the ancient weapons left over from the elves, even the weapons containing trace elements created by the dwarves cannot be compared. Only weapons created by the God of Creation can be used against weapons created by the God of Creation.

In case, the Qiushui long sword is cut off...... Chi Aotian could think of the faces of his father and grandfather.

It's just that if you don't use the Xinghan long sword, the ordinary long sword can't fight against Qiushui at all. With Chi Aotian's character, it is impossible to ask his brother to change a long sword in front of many Tongyun Pass officers.

The young general was also dizzy, and he first heard the bad news from his uncle, and then he was forced by his brother to the dilemma of not fighting with the family rules left by his ancestors, and he had long forgotten whether he was holding the Qiushui long sword handed over by his father or the long sword he usually used.

In the same competition, according to the convention, people with low status cannot attack first. Chi Changyun saw that Chi Aotian had not attacked for a long time, and mistakenly thought that he strictly followed the rules, so he was not polite, and he really wanted to see how Chi Aotian's martial arts were now in the 5 years of separation, and whether it was really as the bard sang, it had reached a height that ordinary people could not reach at all. The autumn water long sword swept a floating light, and the sword went outward, and the body followed the sword.

Chi Aotian's face was suddenly gloomy, he didn't dare to use Xinghan to directly block him, he took a big step back, his long sword retreated, and the two brothers fought together.

If it weren't for the fact that the two brothers looked very similar, there would be no blood relationship just from the use of swords.

Chi Changyun's long sword completely follows the path of a standard knight's stabbing sword, and each sword must attack the enemy's waist and above, with the focus on the chest, neck, and head. Chi Changyun long sword under the father, pay attention to fast, accurate, strength, once each sword can not be stabbed, immediately return to the sword and stab again, the sword left a slight flexibility and strength, so the enemy does not need to hope for the weapon file, the long sword will be in the moment of the opponent's weapon gap attack, once the long sword is touched by the body will be pierced, the enemy will immediately lose the ability to move.

Chi Aotian's long sword swordsmanship was improved by Chi Hanfeng's 10 years of seclusion in Haike Village, and his swordsmanship was improved on the Haber family's swordsmanship. The Haber Parent Sword is different from ordinary long swords, with blades on both sides, and generally needs to be held with both hands, and the attacks are wide open and closed, and there are all fierce places above one hand, and more than 99% of the attacks are slashes. After the improvement, it is better to use a longsword with two blades on both sides, and dance the sword instead of a bayone, and more than 60% of the attacks are fired from both sides of the sword. And Chi Aotian himself is introverted, when learning his uncle's swordsmanship, he improved his swordsmanship again, strengthened the thrust behind the close-quarters, and more than 60% of the attacks were suddenly stabbed out between square inches, during which there was no lack of back stabs, side stabs, underrib stabs and other attack methods that only short swords have.

Brothers fight, Chi Aotian suffered a great loss, he knew quite well that Qiushui would definitely not be able to withstand Xinghan's frontal blow, so he had no choice but to use the sword body to flatten the stab, and the attack suddenly decreased by half, and he quickly lost the upper hand in a hurry.

Chi Changyun's face did not show disdain for Chi Aotian's sword skills, and a small number of officers around him were not familiar with Chi Aotian, whether they were family officers or imperial officers, they had only one object of allegiance: Ji Changyun, the second heir to the throne of the head of the Chi family, the acting general of the empire, of course he would not be polite in his mouth.

With the character of a soldier, he will not say anything that is too bad, but he will definitely not be less cynical.

"Look, the young general's sword skills have improved a lot. ”

"Of course, His Excellency the Marquis taught it by hand, and the tiger father has no dog. ”

"It's a pity that the young general has been busy with official business, otherwise, with the martial arts of the young general, once he goes outside, the dragons in the world will not be killed by the young general?"

"Yes, yes, I have heard that most of the mercenaries are impetuous people, and they are arrogant and arrogant when they only know one or two. These ignorant people, how do they know that the real talents in the world are hidden in the military. ”

"What a golden brain, what the first dragon knight of the ages, the fame is almost grinding my ears into calluses, and now I look at it, it's really not Er'er. ”

The officers of Tongyun Pass are really powerful, and they don't have a dirty word in the whole article, and they definitely don't mention the three words of Chi Aotian, let alone Chi Men, but every sentence is directed at the little mercenary group and Chi Aotian.

Since joining the small mercenary group, Chi Aotian has never suffered such an insult, his face turned dark, he bit his lower lip tightly, and suddenly accelerated his pace under his feet, every time he stabbed out a sword, he must take a step towards the right side of the rapid run, and then stabbed and moved again, in an instant, the long sword stabbed out more than 20 swords, and circled around Chi Changyun for more than ten times - this is Horns' tactics after encountering a strong enemy, Horns is relatively short, if he blindly attacks head-on, it is difficult to find the opponent's flaws if he encounters the enemy too strong. Small steps continue to circle around the opponent, and each move must attack the enemy's side, forcing the enemy to constantly turn around, so that the opponent is unguardable.

Chi Changyun is also the first time to encounter such a trick, in the traditional sword attack, at most a small range of movement, so that the three or four swords around the enemy in a circle of attack, I have never seen it, the long sword quickly stabbed like a mountain ups and downs, the cold air suddenly increased, Chi Changyun had no choice but to take many steps back in a row.

With Chi Aotian's character, in battle, once he gained the upper hand, the long sword surged out like a violent wind and waves, and most of the time, the central nervous system had replaced the brain, and the matter of the Qiushui long sword was immediately thrown aside.

After continuously surrounding Chi Changyun and attacking rapidly to the right side for more than 20 laps, the vigorous body suddenly jumped to the left, Xinghan's long sword pointed directly at Chi Changyun's left shoulder, Chi Changyun dodged on his back, Chi Aotian turned right and habitually pulled his sword downwards - this is the essence of Chi Hanfeng's improved swordsmanship, and Chi Changyun also habitually raised his hand to block.

Woo Lang ...... After a white light, the Qiushui long sword fell to the ground.

Chi Aotian was startled, and immediately knew that he had made a mistake, Xinghan quickly retreated-a step late, the long sword swept sharply across Chi Changyun's armor, and after a dazzling white light, the plate armor containing trace rare elements and the chain mail lined with it were cut like paper, leaving a wound on Chi Changyun's left shoulder that was half a minute long and 5 inches long, the white wound stopped for a moment, and blood gushed out in large quantities.

Everyone was stunned.

Chi Changyun covered his wound vigorously, the sharp pain distorted the young man's face, and the honest young general barely squeezed out a smile: "Aotian, it's really good." Even without the sword of the creator god, I have no certainty against yours. The little mercenary group is really powerful. ”

The grim boy's face flushed, and he didn't know how to answer.

Many officers hurriedly surrounded the general to help the acting general wrap up his wounds, and Chi Changyun said slowly in the crowd: "You rest for a day, I will give the order now, gather all the soldiers in the four major camps around, it will take two days to gather the soldiers, and early the day after tomorrow, you will go to the military field of the west of the city to set off." ”

An officer had already picked up the Qiushui long sword from the ground, and Chi Changyun found out that the long sword turned out to be Qiushui at this time, his face became even more ugly, and he bit his lip fiercely after taking it with his right hand: "It's a pity that the long sword left by Gaozu is not to blame you, it's me who is careless, I will explain it to my father and grandfather, and receive the punishment." Go down and rest, and I'll see you off when you go on the expedition the day after tomorrow. ”

Chi Aotian hadn't closed his eyes for more than 50 hours, and after he landed, it was a brotherly battle, his mind was in a mess, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he snorted coldly, turned his head and left the hall. Previously, Chi Aotian had been unconscious, and his physical condition was extremely bad, and after arriving in the bedroom, he fell into bed and slept for two days.

On the third day, the first white light flashed in the direction of the Fairy Forest in the east, and there was a knock on the door of Chi Hanfeng's bedroom: "Long wind, get up, we must leave in 20 minutes." ”

Chi Hanfeng pushed the door and saw his brother standing at the door, unable to wear heavy armor due to the thick bandage on his arm, but only hung small leather armor on the front and back. Chi Aotian lowered his head, quietly hid the apology in his eyes, and followed his brother and the guards to the school military field.

Tongyun Pass defense area is more than 400 miles long, more than 200 miles wide, among the six brigades of the Black Dragon Knights, the Heavy Knight Brigade and the Heavy Infantry Brigade are stationed in Tongyun Pass, the First Knight Brigade and the Co-Servant Infantry Brigade guard the throat road on the west side of the Fairy Forest, which leads to the Mercenary Empire, the Second Knight Brigade is stationed in the northwest, only 400 miles away from the Desert Empire, and the Dixing Dragon Knight Brigade is stationed in the west of the boundary forest. When Tong Yunhou organized the second-line corps, he drew the Xiecong Infantry Brigade and the First and Second Knight Brigades from the Black Dragon Knights. In view of the frequent battles in the southeast, except for one knight squadron in the north of the Fairy Forest and two knight squadrons in the northwest, all the other armies were stationed in the strategy between Tongyun Pass and the Fairy Forest, so that no matter whether the enemy attacked Tongyun Pass or attacked the mainland road head-on, they could arrive within 2 hours.

Brothers Chi Aotian and Chi Changyun stood on the general's platform in the colonel's military field, and the black pressure in front of them was almost all knight troops.

Although he was worried about his father's battle situation, and he was also worried that Chi Aotian had not led an army, Chi Changyun knew that Chi Aotian didn't like to speak, and at this time, he had to stand up for him and tell the imperial soldiers what happened.

The young general was just about to speak, and suddenly there was a loud eagle cry from the northwest direction, and then, the sound of birds of prey beating the sky faintly, everyone looked up to the west sky, and the black pressure came with a lot of giant eagles, which is an uncommon scene in the forest, at this time, eagles are generally inactive, and birds of prey rarely gather to act.

If you look closely, there are human knights on the back of the giant eagle. The eyebrows of many officers in Tongyun Pass were tightly wrinkled together, so many Giant Eagle Knights, once they attacked from the air, it would be an uncontrollable disaster for any army. The officers on duty quickly organized the archers in place and waited for the order to attack. More than 500 longbowmen from Tongyun Pass bowed their waists and quickly passed through the corridors on both sides, standing on the north side of the school military field, clusters of black feather eagle arrows were inserted into the ground, and 30-kilogram longbows were squeaked apart.

The knight of the sky spotted the army below, but ignored the threat of bows and arrows below, the knight in the front lowered the wings of the giant eagle, and the hundreds of giant eagles in the back followed one by one, lowering their wings in turn, and the rolling waves swept towards the soldiers in the school military field, and even the claws reflecting the rising sun on the eagle's talons could be seen.

Few soldiers once saw so many flying knights directly pressed down, in the face of the sharp claws that were approaching quickly, a young archer suddenly let go of the bowstring in his hand due to nervousness, and the black arrow turned into a black light and shot at the front knight, and he also found that he had shot wrong, and shouted in surprise, and it was at this time that the archers heard someone on the general's platform shouting: "Don't let go of the arrow......

All the archers were worried about the Eagle Knight, and the arrows fired by the 30-kilogram longbow were within 50 meters, faster than the sound, and the bow was already shot before the opponent heard the sound of the bowstring. In such a short distance, hundreds of giant eagles on the other side must not even have a chance to react, this arrow ...... I'm afraid I'm going to shoot multiple giant eagles.

At the moment when the black arrow was about to shoot into the group of flying eagle knights, the two flying knights in front suddenly shot two short green arrows at the same time, bang...... In the incredulous gaze of hundreds of human archers, the black arrow was pierced through the shaft by two green arrows, marking a two-color mark and falling from the sky to the ground.
