Four hundred and ninetieth chapters are much stronger than bows and arrows
"Are you here to patrol the camp today?" Lao Zhu looked at it once and then turned to look at Li Wenzhong.
Li Wenzhong quickly raised his lowered head and said, "Yes, I will come to inspect the camp every five days."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lao Zhu comforted Li Wenzhong. He was also a battle-hardened man. Looking at the morale in the military camp, he knew that Li Wenzhong was not slacking off.
"Please ask the emperor to inspect the camp." Li Wenzhong looked serious.
But Lao Zhu waved his hand, shook his head and said: "There is no need to patrol the camp. I feel relieved to have you here. I am here for other things today. Let's go to the archery training range."
"Your Majesty, please!" Li Wenzhong led the way without saying a word.
When they arrived at the place, there were still soldiers practicing archery. Li Wenzhong waved his hand to drive them away, clasped his fists towards the emperor and asked, "Please give me your instructions."
Lao Zhu looked majestic and said in a deep voice: "Have someone bring an arrow target over here."
Li Wenzhong responded, waved his hand in the distance, and shouted: "Zhou Diao, bring an arrow target over here."
Soon, the arrow target was placed five feet away in front of him.
Lao Zhu took out the revolver, opened the bullet chamber and inserted the bullet that Han Du had just made.
Li Wenzhong saw the revolver and couldn't help but glance at Han Du.
Han Du saw Lao Zhu raising his gun and was about to shoot, so he quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please wait."
Lao Zhu glanced at Han Du in confusion.
Han Du quickly explained: "Your Majesty, please look here and here. This is called the crosshair, and this is called Wangshan. Use the crosshair to align with Wangshan, and then point at the thing you want to hit, so that you can hit more accurately."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu raised his hand again, aimed at the red star and pulled the trigger according to Han Du's instructions.
"Bang!"
The target seemed to have been hit by something invisible, and the whole body trembled suddenly.
Zhou Diao stepped forward to check and saw that the fist-sized red color in the middle of the target had completely disappeared, leaving only a fist-sized hole.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's arrow skills are like a god and you hit the red heart."
Only a few feet away, Lao Zhu stepped forward to take a look. When he saw the hole in the middle of the target, he looked surprised. He turned to Han Du and asked, "Is it so powerful?"
Lao Zhu knew the power of fire cannons. Nowadays, when the fire cannons in the Ming Dynasty hit a person, if they hit the vital part, they would definitely die. If they missed the vital point, they might not be able to kill the person. He originally thought
This revolver can kill with one hit, and it must be more powerful than a fire gun, but I didn't expect it to be so much more powerful.
If it hits an arrow target, it will be a hole made by a fist. If it hits a person, it will probably be a hole. No wonder this revolver can kill with one big hit.
"This," Han Du laughed dryly twice and said in an uncertain tone, "maybe it's because Wei Chen packed too much gunpowder."
Han Du just made a random excuse, but he didn't really think that the revolver was very powerful. If it were really powerful, then the penetrating power would be stronger, and the hole would not be as big as it is now.
Han Du spoke vaguely, but Lao Zhu heard it clearly. Han Du said that there was too much gunpowder, not too much collodion. It is a good idea to use gunpowder to deceive others. If anyone thought that there was too much gunpowder,
If it is really the current gunpowder, then he will definitely be deceived in a miserable way.
Lao Zhu suddenly became interested when he saw that the power of this revolver was greater than imagined.
"Another archery target, um, put it ten feet away."
After confirming that the bullets made by Han Du were effective, Lao Zhu took out the bullets collected from Han Du and filled them with six bullets.
"Bang!"
The target was penetrated.
"Come again, put twenty feet away."
Don't think that the distance of twenty feet is very close. There is an idiom called "Hundred Steps to Cross the Yang", which is specially used to describe someone's archery skills as godly.
And how far is a hundred steps? It's almost twenty feet.
In other words, those who can shoot arrows twenty feet away and accurately hit the target are considered top archery masters.
And this kind of archery master has been a treasure since ancient times.
"Bang!"
Lao Zhu hit the target again, but he didn't hit the red heart completely. The target he hit was a little lower than the edge of the red heart.
Seeing that Lao Zhu was frowning, Han Du explained awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this revolver aiming is similar to archery. If the distance is far, you need to aim higher."
"Oh? This is only reasonable." After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he raised his hand and shot again.
This time, I hit the red heart again as I wished.
Lao Zhu lowered his arms with satisfaction, smiled at Li Wenzhong and asked, "Bao'er is also a fierce general in the army. Is it possible for a master of archery to hit the target with a hundred steps?"
Li Wenzhong's face suddenly became solemn, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment."
After saying that, he took a bow from the side, nocked an arrow and shot.
"Zheng!" Hits the red heart.
"Thank you for your honor."
Lao Zhu clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Bao'er is as brave as before. I'm very pleased."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Han Du stood aside and looked at Li Wenzhong with envy. Not to mention anything else, just the strength to draw this strong bow made Han Du envious.
Han Du once exercised on his own in order to improve his physical fitness. Unfortunately, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, so he couldn't persevere. In the end, his physical fitness was indeed a little stronger, but it was only about the same as that of ordinary people. It was better than that of a weak scholar.
Some.
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked back at the target again.
"Put it another twenty feet further."
He raised his hand and fired, and the target was penetrated again.
"Put it another twenty feet further."
This time the bullet finally failed to penetrate the target and got stuck on it.
Looking at the bullet that was about to penetrate the archery target, Lao Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "The power of this fire gun is really powerful. It can almost penetrate the archery target at such a long distance. The rarer accuracy is much better than that of a bow and arrow. As long as you know how to do it,
If you look at Wangshan’s accuracy, the difference won’t be too big.”
Since ancient times, there have been many famous marksmen who are talked about by people. In fact, it is precisely because of this that it can be explained that the accuracy of bows and arrows is difficult to control.
The arrow does not fly out in a straight line, but flies out like a fish with its head and tail. In this case, it is not that difficult to hit the target accurately. Just like Li Wenzhong did just now, he can hit the red heart.
He is a master of archery.
The revolver is different. When the warhead is launched, it will fly in a straight line in the horizontal direction, but the vertical height will vary with the distance. This difficulty is much simpler than that of a bow and arrow.
Lao Zhu smiled and turned to look at Li Wenzhong and asked: "Bao'er, can you hit the target at such a long distance?"
"Back to the emperor," Li Wenzhong smiled bitterly, "It's such a long distance, let alone a hit. I'm not sure whether it can be shot so far."
