Chapter 14 Protective Contests

After a few days of miserable life, coupled with last night's drunkenness, Guan Yu's gang has risen three days a day. Gao pet has come back from the distillery, yesterday because the winery saw malt, remembered to make caramel for the little sister, open the crisp let people find some milk, because there is no milk, use goat's milk instead, no sugar paper, find tin foil one by one wrapped, make a lot of toffee. The second brother Gao Yang and the third brother Gao Fan also had full pockets. When I arrived at Gaofu, I gave some to everyone. After Guan Lin ate it, she came over again to ask Gao Chong, as if she was originally a brother and sister born in the Gao family, and she was very familiar.

Yesterday, a few brothers and sisters had a night's trouble, and a few of them lost their drinking, and Stilwell got up to discuss finding a way back, Guan Yu didn't say anything when he heard it, and he was a little unconvinced. When he got up, he knew that Gao Chong was only fourteen years old, and his face was even more unbearable.

At noon, he drank some soul wine, and Stilwell shouted that he was going to compete in martial arts, and a few of Gao Pet's subordinates, Dazhu and Sigui were also ready to move. Everyone also arrived at the martial arts training ground together.

Several people discussed for a long time, and decided to fight three games, one game of arrows, 70 steps (105 meters), 9 arrows, three arrows each time, and the one with more hearts in the arrow wins. The second is a fist and kick fight, which is equivalent to the modern free sanda, which is based on knocking down or losing resistance. The third is to go heads-up right away, to win by hitting more or beating, and play for thirty rounds. For safety, knives are required to be bladeless, guns to be headless, and all wrapped in lime.

Stilwell is also full of confidence, thinking that he must win a game, as a first-class master of archery, there are few opponents.

"Brother Guan, Brother Shi, can I compare with you with crossbow arrows?" Get the approval of the other party. Gao Pet let Gao Fan play.

"What do you mean, brother, do you look down on me!" Seeing Gao Pet sending out hairy children, his face was swollen and red.

"Not really, our mortal brother is a super genius, you win him first." Although Gao Fan showed his sniper talent last time, he had only shot a few arrows, and Gao Fan sent Gao Fan out, and he was not very confident in his heart. It is appropriate to teach Gao Fan face-to-face, "Remember the shooting essentials I taught, calm down, brother believes that you will win." ”

Two 70-step targets have been erected there. The weather was good, and there was no wind, which was a rare good weather for archery competitions.

Stilwell took off the bow from his back, this bow is a stone and five bucket bow handed down by the historian, and the Song Dynasty selected the dragon guard and the divine guard only to use a stone and five bucket bow. is equivalent to the current arm strength of 180 catties, and Stilwell's strength is also straightforward. Stilwell took out the arrow from his quiver, this arrow is also a secret arrow of the historian, there is a name called three arrows, the tail of the arrow is made of three carved wings of hard hair, the workmanship is very exquisite. Stilwell used the outer hook of the mother finger to pull the string, which was the way to pull the string in the late Ming and Qing dynasties. Stilwell went up with a full bow and three arrows, and the arrows hit the target, which can also be seen from Stilwell's strength is still very powerful. Guan Yu and Guan Lin, who were standing behind, were applauding Stilwell's archery skills, and even Gao Zhong and his party had to admire Shi's archery skills and applauded. Let's just say that the modern Olympic Games are also the world's top archers, and it is nothing more than that with the support of modern technology, not to mention that the Olympic target is only 70 meters.

Gao Fan used a small crossbow, this is because his strength is relatively small, but the strength of the crossbow is also 2 stones, and the final string pulling force is also forty or fifty catties, which is also a big burden on Gao Fan's small body.

Gao Fan was not affected by the atmosphere of the scene and the applause to Stilwell, adjusted the ruler, exhaled, pulled the string on the arrow, and fired three arrows in a row, and waited until Dazhu and Li Gongzi reported the target, which was the red heart of the arrow. Seeing the result, everyone stopped their breath, and they could hear the needle on the ground. Some people think it's a mistake.

Remove the arrows from the target and fire two sets of three arrows at once. But the result was still the same, Gao Fan hit six hearts with nine arrows, Stilwell hit two for the first time, two for the second time, and only one for the third time. A total of five. This is the characteristic of the bow and arrow, and when the strength is exhausted, the third three shots are only one because of the drop in strength, which is also very remarkable.

"I lost" Stilwell was a little frustrated, but he was also happy to admit defeat.

"Losing is not in the technique, but in the instrument. This is Xiao Fan's crossbow bolt is better than yours. Xiao Fan: This is the second time to shoot arrows. ”

"The second time?" Stilwell and Guan Yu couldn't believe that no one in this world could believe such a myth. Of course, the Divine Arm Crossbow is a factor, but the talent of a sniper is even more important. Guan Lin ran to Gao Fan's side and said to Gao Fan:

"Show me your crossbow?" Gao Fan turned his head to look at Gao Pet, and Gao Pet nodded. Gao Fan gave the Divine Arm Crossbow to Guan Lin.

"Gao Pet, why do you have so many small rounds of crossbow arrows, and how is this, this different from the usual?

"Xiaofan, you will tell them about the functions of each part, and then talk about how to use it, if someone wants to try it, you can also do it."

Many people gathered around, and it seemed that they couldn't compare for the time being, and Gao Zhong spread his hands at Guan Yu and Stilwell, smiling.

Let Gao Pet guess that Guan Lin is really going to test shoot and greet everyone.

Guan Lin pulled the string. "It's really light"

Load the arrow, aim and pull the trigger to fire. The arrow is shot at the target quickly, and you may not have mastered the shooting essentials and missed the bull's-eye. I tried to shoot a few more arrows, but only one arrow hit the bull's-eye, which made the little girl very happy, in Guan Yu's heart. It's great that the little sister can hit the target, although the little sister's force is good, but there is no talent for archery, because of this relationship, I usually hate archery. Therefore, this crossbow arrow should not be underestimated, Guan Yu thought to himself.

After playing for a while, Guan Yu said, "Brother Gao, how about we have a second game?" ”

"Okay." Gao Pet called everyone back.

"This time, we will send people first, and then you will send generals" Gao Chong asked Sigui to appear and compete with Guan Yu and others.

"Let's let Guan Lin go on" In this second round, I didn't expect the other party to send a girl to come, which was a little surprising. Guan Yu knows that in terms of fists and feet, in addition to his own strength being greater than that of Xiaomei, he can barely win Xiaomei, and Stilwell is also Xiaomei's defeated general, but no one in Ningguo dares to compete with his sister's fists and feet. There's also an unexpected taste here.

In Sigui's eyes, although the other party is a female general, the other party will not be untargeted, besides, he is valued by the young master, and he has no choice but to behave well, let alone lose to a woman.

The two stood still in the field, one tall and burly, the other small and delicate, in the eyes of Gao Pet, a modern person, it was not an order of magnitude, of course, the ancients did not pay attention to this. Guan Lin usually looks not small, with a meter of six or seven or eight, but no matter how she looks in front of Sigui, she looks like an adult or a child.

"It's better sister, you attack first" Sigui was embarrassed to attack first, afraid that everyone would laugh.

"Good!" This Guan Lin is not polite, he attacked with a step-by-step punch, his arm was half-bent, which was very similar to Xingyi's half-step collapse fist, which seemed to be clumsy and ingenious, but it was a false move. If you don't avoid it, the void will become real. Look at the momentum, the speed is very fast, and the power seems to be not small. In the Song Dynasty, after Taizu won the world, the more popular was the Zhao family's imperial boxing, which was also one of the earlier internal boxing methods. The Zhao family was born in the military, although it is an internal boxing method, but it is also concise and practical, and this is a royal boxing technique, so it is popular quickly. But the Guan family has its own secret skills that are characteristic of this ancient family.

Seeing Guan Lin attacking, Sigui didn't retreat, and attacked him with a move. Guan Lin turned his fist into a slanted palm, blocking Sigui's cutting hand, and the left fist with his left hand on his waist had already hit Sigui's middle. The two of you go back and forth, very much like the modern southern boxing style.

Guan Lin is very stable in the next game, the use of waist and leg strength is very good when attacking and defending, and the grasp of the center of gravity is very careful. On the contrary, Sigui's attack doesn't seem to be smooth, all the attacks are like the two are brother and sister sparring, so that people can grasp it clearly, so that more than ten rounds, Guan Lin's rhythm suddenly became faster, seeing Sigui attacking, he stepped back and got up, hitting Sigui's leg bend, Sigui's reaction was also fast, Shen Ma left split and wanted to cut the opponent's foot and neck, but before he could cut, Guan Lin's side attack leg had become a solid step, and his fists and double-peaked ears had attacked Sigui's temple. At the same time, his left knee pushed against Sigui's chest, and the whole person crashed into Sigui's arms. Sigui was passive, and after a few more moves, he was defeated and admitted defeat.

At this time, Stilwell went up and patted Sigui on the shoulder:

"Brother, don't be sad, we are worse than you, and I don't know that the one in this world can hold her."

Girls, generally have little strength and are mainly based on fighting and moves, but this Guan Lin is tough, which may be caused by the Guan family's boxing and knife skills, and has a character! After Guan Lin finished fighting, he looked very proud towards Gao Chong, as if he was challenging this group of boys, and the group of boys brought by Guan Yu was screaming. Cheers to Guan Lin. A little girl is proud to have fought a heavyweight opponent.

Needless to say, the next game is Guan Yu against Gao Pet, the two of them moved their bodies, let people lead the horses, Gao Pet's chiseled gold tiger head gun unloaded the gun head, Guan Yu's big knife was also wrapped in cowhide, I was afraid that the accidental injury would be too serious and angry.

The two got on their horses, turned their horses' heads, were thirty paces apart, stood facing each other, their eyes were focused, they were accumulating momentum, their legs were clamped, one was holding a spear, and the other was holding a knife in both hands and rushing towards each other. Indomitable. Seeing that the two horses were about to collide, Guan Yu picked up the big knife and slashed horizontally, slashing horizontally towards the head and waist of the highly favored horse. Gao Pet stabbed, picked up Guan Yu's blade and took it to the right, and stabbed Guan Yu in the chest with the horsepower forward. Guan Yu turned the knife to block, and at this time, the heads of the horses on both sides had staggered, swapped positions, and turned the horses' heads. In the first round, both sides admired each other in their hearts, and they both reacted quickly with great strength. Because Gao Zhong took off the gun head, he suffered a little in weapons. Guan Yu knew it in his heart and became more and more careful.

At the beginning of the second round, the two sides rushed to each other, and Gao Pet used the gun to swing the head of the gun very little, using more inch strength and explosive power, which made it difficult for the opponent to judge the number of the next move and save physical strength, some modern bayonet tactics concept. Seeing Gao Zhong rushing towards with a gun like this, Guan Yu felt that the upper, middle and lower roads were being stared at, and Guan Yu felt a chill in his heart. As a last resort, Guan Yu only rushed forward with a big knife, stabbed in front of the gun, only listening to the sound of the collision of the strings, the knives and guns had knocked each other seven or eight times, returned to the original point, and the second round was over, Guan Yu was already drenched in cold sweat when he went north. Guan Yu's reaction was very fast, due to the rebound of the tip of the knife, no killing game was formed, and in two rounds, Gao Chong already had the bottom in his heart. After more than ten rounds of back and forth like this, Guan Yu felt that he had died a few times a few times. The Guan family's immediate knife skills did not use knives at all, and most of them relied on on-the-spot reactions to save the game. The battle was fought aggrieved. Failure is irretrievable. If you lose, you will lose, Guan Yu clamped the horse's belly to meet Gao Pet, and the back of the knife was pushed towards Gao Pet, but this time he didn't move, only to see Gao Pet beat the head of the gun, and Guan Yu's big knife was out of his hand. Guan Yu was exhausted and defeated.

Two to one.

Stilwell stepped forward to help Guan Yu off the horse, and Guan Yu said, "I am too different from my senior brother, and I lost." In fact, Guan Yu knew in his heart that he had already lost his second move.

Guan Lin ran over to Guan Yu at this time and said, "Brother, why are you fighting indiscriminately, why don't you see you using the Guan family's knife technique." ”

"You dead girl, can I use it or not?"

Several people were out of business. I wasn't in the mood to play anymore, but Guan Lin was still in high spirits.

"Go back to the shower, drink with you at night, and rest when you get drunk."

Guan Yu and they went back to Gaofu and didn't mention it. Gao Pet took a few guards and rode to the ravine on the side, Gao Pet wanted to see what place was suitable for the training and stationing of his guards. Relatively independent and hidden, the place should be able to spread, preferably with a water source, and be conducive to the defense of the camp. After watching for most of the day, I think about it or the ravine behind the winery is suitable, the waist drum shape, there is no problem to put tens of thousands of people in it, there is an exit before and after, you can enter and retreat on the west side of the mountain is a commanding height, the field of vision is very broad, you can clearly see the dynamics of Tongling County. And the nearby high village and winery are in full view.

"That's it." Later, it was built as the first modern base. The gunpowder factory, the crossbow factory, and the weapons factory can all be placed in this ravine. Its own chemical laboratory is also going to be built in it. Sketch out the topography and the division of each functional area for arrangement.

Arrange it down, start the construction of the barracks, clear the ravine, make several rows of barracks on the side of the mountain, clear the ditch, cut down the bushes, and level the floor. Make the request, set the framework, and arrange it properly.

Everyone brought the two deer muntjac, hares, pheasants and other mountain delicacies they had hunted back to Gaofu. Prepare a game barbecue for the evening.

The following does not count the number of words:

Note: "History of the Song Dynasty" Volume 194 Zhi 147:

Whoever chooses the forbidden army, who has paid three hundred dollars, and shoots one stone and five buckets with a bow, and three stones and five buckets with a crossbow, and the same as a dragon guard,

And read it in person, in order to subordinate to the dragon guard, the god guard. Whoever rides the royal horse straight to the small bottom, then reads the arch saint, and the young horse is strong and good at shooting.

All archers, the inner sanctum directly selects the commander in front of the palace, shoots one stone and five buckets; The dragon bow and arrow are directly selected to supplement the dragon straight and royal

The keel Duozi is straight, the east and west classes take the armor hall to choose the supplement into the wait, and the dragon Zhuzhi general Yu is a candidate to make up for the ten generals, and the shooting is one

And so it goes. Secondly, don't be first-class, minus two. Since the front of the Yu Palace, the commanders and the classes have been making up for the name for a long time

The fighting power of the bow and crossbow tested has been greatly reduced, and the bow is different from one stone and three buckets to eight buckets, and the crossbow is different from three stones and two buckets to five buckets.

Those who read the affiliation in person on the class will not be re-examined. Those who are promoted to the army will either take a small number of strong fists or be brave

There is labor on the side. As for the Heqing Supplement, the prison city with the army also issued an edict from time to time to select and supplement, and the people who were given to the service sometimes entered, and those who were guilty

Not to the end. If they retire from old age and illness, they will start with the age or return from the army; The transfer officers were all selected, and the army was three years old. Hebei encountered

The same is true for the Great Reading. In the first year of Jingyou, the edict selected the teaching horse to fill in the holy army, retired his old illness as a remnant, and those who did not serve were exempted
