Chapter 310: What is this place?
When he arrived at the archery range, Li Chengqian looked at the professional archery targets in the distance, he was a little speechless, this was much more than the school field he imagined.
Li Chengqian, the farthest target, doubted whether ordinary arrows could be shot through.
"Hey, big brother, pick one?" Li Ke pointed to the bows and arrows hanging next to him. To be honest, Li Ke didn't expect anything to be improved in these bows and arrows, the bow can be said to be one of the earliest long-range weapons used by human beings, and it is not known how many years ago, in this process, most of the bows and arrows have basically reached their peak before the breakthrough of material science to modern bows and arrows.
The bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty are basically the style of the Turkic recurve bow, in the design of these bows and crossbows, Li Ke can improve to be honest, the most is to add moving pulleys to the crossbow arrows, in addition, he can not improve much, and those are more of some theories of later generations, such as using some natural plant extracts to add layers to wooden bows, soaking and so on to increase toughness.
The movable pulley seems to be not demanding, but in fact, if the pulley is not fine enough, it will affect the speed of the crossbow string rebound, and in the end it is not even as good as the movable pulley.
Most of the bows placed here are in the style of recurve bows, and the strength is also different, Li Chengqian chose a medium one, and then Li Ke asked someone to take an arrow basket from the side and put it next to Li Chengqian.
Inside are elaborate arrows.
"This arrow is well done." Li Chengqian took out an arrow from it, looked at the opening, and said.
"It's okay, the machines built by my craftsmen are now making arrows much faster." Li Ke also picked a pair of bows and arrows, and then directly bent the bow and arrows, and the arrow target more than thirty meters away hit the red heart.
"Not bad!" Li Chengqian nodded, and also drew his bow, and the same arrow was shot, exactly the same, and it hit the bull's-eye.
Li Chengqian had just put down his bow here, and there was a soft sound of "whoosh", and with a "doo", another arrow went directly to the target.
"You ......" Li Chengqian turned his head and just wanted to praise, and then Li Chengqian, who only said one word, was stunned, because it was not Li Ke who shot this arrow, but Changle!
Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded, Changle?! In Li Chengqian's impression, this eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty has always belonged to that kind of quiet and light temperament, you say that she is a princess who is both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, then absolutely no one has an opinion, but bow and arrow? !
Changle hasn't been touched before, right? But the accuracy of this target, this is obviously not the first time to play.
"Yo yes, it looks like you've really worked hard in the half a year since the third brother left." Li Ke also looked at Changle with some surprise, although the bow in Changle's hand was not as strong as Li Ke's bow, but it was not weak for a woman, if the body did not have strong enough core strength, it would definitely not be able to pull it away.
This is not the kind of bow and arrow made of new high-tech materials in later generations, and the requirements for strength are not so high.
"Of course! I've been practicing! Although Changle is still wearing a long skirt, she has a feeling of being radiant with a bow and arrow at the moment! The feeling between the eyebrows and eyes was completely different from before!
Now Changle is more confident, and the whole person is full of sunshine and positive attitude, not just quiet and gentle.
"You can't have instigated this, can you?" Li Chengqian, who came back to his senses next to him, couldn't help but ask.
"Big brother, look at what you said, what is agitation, I am encouraging! Don't you think Changle's body is much healthier than when he was a child? Proper exercise is good for the body, anyway, we don't ask Changle to lead troops to fight, just exercise. Li Ke shouted quickly, what do you mean by agitation? This is Changle's own idea, and I support her at most.
Li Chengqian: "......" No wonder these sisters like to play with you, then no, you agree to what they want to do, if you want me, I also like to play with you.
"Big brother, don't tell your father, you just said you wouldn't sue." Changle winked at Li Chengqian with a grin.
Li Chengqian: "......"
"Third brother, third brother, I want to play too!" Jin Yang shouted loudly.
"Okay, come, the third brother will pick a fun one for you." Li Ke immediately nodded with a smile, and as he spoke, Li Ke ran to the side, and then took out a delicate hand crossbow from it.
Li Chengqian: "......"
"Wow, this is good, is this a crossbow?" Jin Yang's eyes were shining.
"Yes, this is a crossbow, but you're too young to, and this thing can't be aimed at people." Li Ke stood directly behind Jin Yang, and then helped her wind this small hand crossbow, and then put a crossbow arrow in it, and found a target six or seven paces away.
"Just pull it here." Li Ke taught Jin Yang how to use the crossbow arrow, and then asked her to aim at the target, Li Ke helped to grab it, and let Jin Yang pull the trigger himself.
There was a low bowstring sound of "hum", and a "bang" sound, and the target of about 10 meters was directly shot through by the crossbow arrow.
Li Chengqian was stunned, are you really playing? This thing is obviously lethal.
"Wow! This is amazing! Third brother, when I grow up, if the husband my father found for me is like Changle's sister's fiancé, I will shoot him with this! Jin Yang's eyes lit up and said, "Or, third brother, you secretly get one for me, and next time Cousin Changsun makes Sister angry again, I will use this to secretly shoot him!" ”
Li Chengqian: What did the "......" eldest grandson Chong do wrong?!
"Shhhh You can't talk nonsense. Changle hurriedly whispered.
"Oh oh oh, I understand, I can't let outsiders know, it's not good to spread it." Jin Yang nodded hurriedly.
Concubine Su: "......" She has a feeling now, who am I? Where am I? What is this place? She always feels that this style of painting is a little wrong, this is San Lang? What the hell are you teaching?
Looking at these fourteen Tang princesses with shiny eyes, Concubine Su wanted to know how their husbands should deal with themselves in the future.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to try it?" Li Ke stood up, looked at Concubine Su next to him and asked.
"Huh?" Concubine Su was stunned for a moment, but she looked at Changle who was shooting arrows with a bow over there, she suddenly felt a little moved, she didn't seem to have played?
"It's okay, try. Big brother, you help your sister-in-law choose a softer bow, just play, people live a lifetime, always have to try something new, when we are old, sitting by the fire and watching the children and grandchildren full of halls, at that time can not be regretted for doing nothing, nor can we be ashamed of wasting our time, let alone because of some things that have had the opportunity to try, but did not try. Li Ke said with a smile.
Concubine Su and Li Chengqian were stunned for a moment, and then Concubine Su thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, when she is old, will she regret that she has the opportunity when she is young but she gives up.
"Then Da Lang, I'll try it too?" Concubine Su looked at Li Chengqian tentatively.
"Okay, anyway, Saburo also said that these are all entertainment activities." Li Chengqian paused for a moment, then smiled as well, he simply took Concubine Su over to personally select a bow and arrow, and chose a softer bow and arrow for her.
The corners of Changle's mouth, who was shooting arrows not far away, hooked up a smile, and the third brother's mouth didn't fall when he went to the Western Regions, he was still so sharp, and he could always say the softest place in people's hearts unconsciously.
With a "bang", an arrow with a three-edged armor-piercing arrow shot directly through the red heart of the wooden arrow target thirty meters away from Changle.
