One month, ten crosses.

Each one stores fifty bolts.

Ten arrows can be shot at each opening and closing, for a total of five hundred.

Then it takes two people to load the arrows, and it takes a dozen breaths, so you have to prepare tens of thousands or even 100,000 crossbow arrows overnight.

These consumables are extremely huge, if you want to save a little use, you must find a way to let the soldiers and horses make good use of this weapon, proficient in the art of bows and arrows, the so-called practice makes perfect, only familiar with this soldier, can be so.

"Mr. Hua Tuo is now in Lujiang, it would be nice if people from Jingzhou could come to vote," Xu Zhen immediately muttered to himself.

"What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang and Dian Wei both looked at him very curiously.

And Xu Zhen smiled indifferently, quite mysterious, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you let the eldest prince send someone to spread words, just say that the divine doctor Hua Tuo is in Lujiang, and now to help the prince and marquis, it is best to spread it to Jingzhou." ”

"With the caravan going south, this statement should be dispersed in less than a month, this is not a rumor, and it will not make the Jingzhou officials and generals take precautions, so there will be no danger."

"But what's the benefit?" Zhuge Liang was even more puzzled, Mr. Hua Tuo was indeed with the army, and he had only recently arrived in Lujiang.

He followed the logistics soldiers and horses, and rode in a horse-drawn carriage, of course, he could not catch up with the large army of the rapid march, so he could only slow down.

However, it is also a little more comfortable, and it will not make Hua Tuo feel too hard, after all, the money and food are in the logistics army, and there is a resting place for him to stop and rest.

Coupled with the treatment of displaced people and wounded sergeants along the way, these military doctors should be the most comfortable.

However, what does the training of elite archers have to do with Mr. Hua Tuo?

Zhuge Liang was puzzled.

When it came to Dian Wei, he didn't need to think about it anyway, he directly urged Zhuge Liang to leave, "Why are you asking so much?" Just do it. ”

"No, no, no! Uncle Dian," Zhuge Liang shook Dian Wei's hand, and immediately said: "Although what you have learned should be extensive, no matter what, you should be quite involved, everything follows its cause, and you can learn its method in the future." ”

Dian Wei was speechless: "I don't understand." ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then said patiently: "That is, you understand why, you don't need a prince in the future, you can make your own decisions." ”

"Oh......" Dian Wei suddenly said, "Then I'll go and pass the order, let's learn here." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhuge Liang looked at his back and smiled helplessly.

Then he turned around and asked Xu Zhen, "How is the prince going to form an army of a thousand people?" What does this have to do with Mr. Hua Tuo? ”

Now in training, if you don't choose a good soldier from the new Ding, you won't be considered your own henchmen, and you still need to fight for several years before you can be appointed.

The camp was mostly composed of cavalry and spearmen.

If they are not good at bows and arrows, if they are forcibly formed, they will not be able to use this crossbow well.

If you want to make good use of this tool, you also need literacy.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang always kept in mind that what Xu Zhen really wanted was not this kind of powerful repeater used to defend the city.

It is a hand crossbow, and he wants the hand crossbow to be able to fire in bursts, and can be loaded with more than ten bows and arrows, and can reach the power of a stone bow, and when the cavalry approaches in the future, he only needs to shoot the hand crossbow at close range, and he can kill the enemy in pieces.

If you rely on imagination, Zhuge Liang also understands what a feat this will be, so killing the enemy is as simple as killing a chicken and slaughtering a sheep.

The bow and crossbow are closer than spears and spears, etc., and are longer.

Unless the enemy can arm the armor to the horse's body, how can they resist the crossbow arrows fired at close range, but it is definitely not easy to assemble the armament.

It's better to train an elite archer who is good at drawing bows and shooting at close range.

At this time, there were only Xu Zhen and Zhuge Liang.

So Zhuge Liang bowed solemnly and said, "Master, please teach me." ”

Xu Zhen was slightly stunned, seeing that Liangzi was so humble and sincere, if he didn't say this, I was afraid it would hurt his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhen sighed and said, "This matter, to say that it is Xuanqi, Kong Ming must not tell others. ”

"Students know!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a look of anticipation.

"In the land of Jingzhou, among the humanistic comments, I have heard that there is a person with extremely high bowing skills, who can be said to be an arrow without a false shot in the local area, and his bravery may be the best among the generals of Jingzhou."

"But he has never been famous for his merits, but he is quite respected in the army."

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, there was no such person in his memory.

But he knew that Xu Zhen would occasionally learn about the humanities and customs of Jingzhou and even the southern counties and counties from his mouth, and the geographical anecdotes of various places, although he would not study it in detail, he could know about it.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang immediately looked up at Xu Zhen and asked curiously, "Master, do you have the ability to never forget?" ”

Otherwise, how can so many anecdotes be remembered.

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Maybe there is, but this matter is really a surprise to me, so I knew." ”

"It is rumored that the reason why he did not gain fame is not actually more famous than real, but that he has spent almost all his life running out of his family property and seeking the divine doctor Hua Tuo to heal his only son."

"But after several medical treatments, Hua Tuo could not be found, and his son's condition continued to worsen, and many local doctors were helpless."

"Therefore, the family property is exhausted, there is no merit, only this archery can gain a foothold in the army, and people have gradually reached the prime of life, and there is still no war to make meritorious contributions, after all, in Jingzhou, the thieves have been pacified in the early years, how can there be merit now?"

"I see, release the news of Hua Tuo, let this person hear, if he is still willing to be treated, or if his son has not died of illness, he should still strive to come to Lujiang and ask to see Mr. Hua Tuo, but he wishes in his heart."

"Yes, this is a method, thanks to the understanding of the character reviews in various places, and the reason for understanding is due to the fact that he reads a lot of books on weekdays and consults anecdotes, as for anecdotes, Kong Ming can ask Zi Xuan in the future, so that wherever the caravan passes, they will ask at this time, and record and inform."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhen smiled and nodded.

He wasn't sure if Zhuge Liang would find it useful to say that.

But that's already the best way to put it.

Because the wind evaluation and cognition of Huang Zhong did not come from a wide range of books, but from the memories brought by his own travel.

But even so, it is of course beneficial to really get character reviews, anecdotes, and people in other states and counties, and knowing that the other side may control more.

And often knowing that the person has planned in advance can always put himself in an advantageous position.

Zhuge Liang remembered these words deeply in his heart, and when he looked at Xu Zhen again, he had a little more reverence.

Well-read and tireless.

To really be able to do this, it is not only as simple as being able to insist on spending a lot of energy on this matter, but also to be able to enjoy it.

Only then can we make achievements.

There are very few people in this world who have such pure thoughts.

Zhuge Liang secretly swore in his heart at this time that he would pursue this, not to regenerate slackness, and to take the prince as an example in his life, be willing to read, and be knowledgeable!

Xu Zhen gave Zhuge Liang time to think and calm down slightly, and then continued: "Another method is that this method does not work, and no one has come to inquire about Mr. Hua Tuo's whereabouts, so he will train himself." ”

Zhuge Liang asked seriously: "How to train?" Requires training in a camp. ”

"Lead by example and work tirelessly."

Xu Zhen said immediately.

Zhuge Liang fell into a long silence.

I really can't learn this.

"Master, you have to train yourself, but ...... I remember your archery? ”

He was a little suspicious.

But Xu Zhen smiled confidently, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, anything can be practiced." ”

"If I take the lead and train the archery with the soldiers, I will go from not knowing the bow and arrow to being skilled, and I will be more inspiring."

"If that's the case, what's the point of being tired and tired, and repeatedly boring?"

"The daily diligent gain, its own enjoyment, is the meaning of survival, and the world is not peaceful, the more skills, the more stable its ambition."

"As long as I am here, I will strive to work hard every day, so I will get twice the result with half the effort! Results can be achieved in less than a month. ”

"These elites, in the future, will not only be able to use this weapon, but also have the ability to use a bow and arrows, hold a strong bow, and pull arrows off the horse!"

After Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart was shocked.

Where does the energy come from?

A person can really be interested in this kind of many things, and it is not even as simple as dabbling in them, but they will have a deep understanding of everything and enjoy it.

This is especially true for the cultivation of elite archers.

If I remember correctly, Zhuge Liang remembered that Xu Zhen's archery skills were actually very poor, although his strength was infinite, but he would definitely not be able to shoot accurately after a hundred steps.

This matter is also known almost in the army, but no one has ever cared about it, because Xu Zhen is good at ring-head sword and spearmanship, and even riding and horse chopping knives have gradually become more powerful, but he has never touched the bow and arrow.

Jia Xu also found out when he arrived in the camp.

So when I remembered that Xu Zhen was under the mountains and forests in the south of Dagu Pass, when he pointed his bow and arrow at him, there was actually no danger, because he couldn't shoot anyone if he aimed.

"Okay, since the master has such a heart, Kong Ming will not be lazy and idle, within this month, I will assist Pu Feng, busy between the craftsman camps, and make sharp weapons for the soldiers and horses."

……

That night.

Dian Wei summoned the guards in the camp, and the henchmen of the guards who had been following Xu Zhen gathered in the newly opened school field, and Xu Zhen came with a bow and arrow.

It was like a tree standing upright, standing straight.

After glancing at everyone, he exhaled and shouted, "Everyone! From this day onwards, I will practice archery with you, from hour to noon every day, with a half-hour break to eat, and in the afternoon at noon, and in the evening if there is nothing to do! ”

"Within a month, I want you all to learn the art of riding and archery, and your archery skills are exquisite!"

"Whoa!"

At this time, no matter what Su Wei had in his heart, but when he heard Xu Zhen say that he was going to practice together, of course he knew in his heart that he could not complain about hardship and not have a rebellious heart.

But despite this command, they had little faith.

Archery, also known as archery.

Either the hunters in the border mountains and forests are the most proficient, or among the nobles, they are taught by salute music as an elegant and learned skill.

Ordinary people's families, it is too late to farm on weekdays, and they have to take care of the land and grain in the field every day, which is the life of the family, where is there time to practice archery.

Moreover, such an uncontrollable weapon is much more difficult than a hand-held weapon that can be slashed with a sword.

In a month, how difficult it is to become an elite.

It's just that since the prince is like this, he has a deep meaning.

Just practice along.

……

That night.

Xu Zhen put down the training equipment, put one for each of the fifty and hundred steps of the straw man, plus the obstacle track that was repaired outside, extending from left to right.

He expects to start with fixed-point training, then run and then ride.

At the same time, when riding and archery to cross tree stumps, potholes and other obstacles, you also need to improve your equestrian skills, and even subtleties, and you must cultivate a very tacit relationship with the war horse on weekdays.

sub-hours.

Xu Zhen stood a hundred steps away, pulled the longbow full, aimed at the head of the straw man, and after feeling the wind, his right hand lay flat.

The arrow swished, and it jumped out violently, and everyone saw the shadow of the arrow flash in their sight.

Then he brushed the corner of the straw man, shot crooked, and shot directly into the grass outside the camp.

"Good!!"

"Finally wiped to the edge!"

In the entire camp, cheers suddenly rang out.

It's not complimenting Xu Zhen, nor is it ridiculing.

Because Xu Zhen had missed the target all night, he still had to shoot a hundred steps.

No matter how you get it, you can't shoot it accurately.

A hundred steps away, it is indeed quite far, when holding a bow and arrow, as long as the hand trembles slightly, the result is a difference of thousands of miles, and sometimes Xu Zhen can even shoot on the grass target next to him.

Now that I can wipe the edges, tonight can be regarded as a gain.

This scene has seen many people's confidence soar!

Because they tried a hundred steps for the first time, they were all more accurate than Xu Zhen.

And although the arm strength is not so great, the force of the arrow is not so fast, but it is softer and more accurate, which is much better than Xu Zhenke.

It shows that their talent is higher than that of the prince!

In the past, bows and arrows were used in the barracks, but they were all practiced by drawing the bow and shooting diagonally, shooting at a certain angle into the sky, and it didn't matter where it could land in the end.

The important thing is how many steps you can shoot into, which is equivalent to just looking at the arm strength.

It's different now, it requires accuracy, and shoots flat at the enemy.

Naturally, it is a talent that needs to be mastered by one's arm strength.

At this time, Xu Zhen exhaled slightly.

The corners of his mouth were hooked, quite happy.

[You shoot arrows 200 times, self-discipline +120, additional arm strength]

[Bow and arrow: First time in the court (12%)]

[Essence: 12%]

"Rest!"

Xu Zhen saw that it was getting late, and his arms were a little sore, so it could be seen that the thousand soldiers in the camp were definitely more tired, but they seemed to be happy.

They didn't show a decadent color, and their eyebrows fluttered when they talked to each other, even though everyone who was shirtless was sweaty and shiny.

"I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow."

"Whoa!"

……

At night, Xu Zhen returned to the Anhui County Government Office, washed with the two concubines in the backyard, and took a hot bath.

Then get ready to sleep on the couch.

When Da Qiao was serving and bathing, he found that Xu Zhen's body was very tight, so he lit sandalwood for him at this time, and let Xu Zhen pilllow on his lap, and gently pressed the tense muscles for him.

So I can sleep peacefully.

And Xiao Qiao played gently with the sound of the piano, with a soothing rhythm of the tune, so that Xu Zhen could sleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Zhen fell asleep deeply, and his breathing gradually became even.

It was as if the mind had completely reached a quiet place, and it was time for the hour in a flash.

When Xu Zhen woke up, there was a prompt sound from the system in his ears.

[You are deeply asleep, Qi and Blood +3, Stamina +1, Self-discipline +200]

Xu Zhen: "??? ”

Huh?! What's going on?!
