In an era when cold weapons conquered the world, bows and horses were too important. Especially after several actual battles, Chang Yu felt more strongly about it.
The muskets and blunderbuss of this era were far inferior to bows and arrows in terms of lethality, range, and accuracy. Moreover, it was really troublesome to use muskets to ignite the line of fire.
Although Chang Yu can't say that he is very good at equestrian skills at this time, he still has some experience. As for archery, emmmm...
Although the military attache still didn't understand the term "three points and one line", Chang Yu immediately understood the truth after his lecture.
The difficulty of archery is that it is accurate and it takes a lot of effort.
In ancient times, bows were graded by stone, such as a one-stone bow, a two-stone bow... However, because different dynasties in ancient times calculated the weight differently, the exact weight was also different. For example, one stone is equal to four jun, and one jun is thirty kilograms, so a stone bow is one hundred and two
At ten kilograms, it is considered a strong bow compared to ordinary people.
But if it is also said that according to the calculation method of a certain dynasty, one jun is only 4 kilograms, and one stone bow is equivalent to 16 kilograms, even if it is a little light.
There are historical records that archers are equipped with one stone bow and cavalry have seven fights. However, if it is fired continuously, it is difficult for ordinary people to persist in counting a hundred and twenty kilograms of hard bow, so the normal range should be one hundred and one.
The one-stone bow is the standard equipment for ordinary archers, while the two-stone bow, a powerful bow weighing more than two hundred pounds, is prepared by experts or used as a sniper to hunt down enemy leaders.
Moreover, generally the most powerful generals are masters of two-stone bows, such as Huang Zhong during the Three Kingdoms period. However, it is also said that one kilogram during the Three Kingdoms period was only 220 grams, which means that Huang Zhong's two-stone bow only weighed about 100 kilograms.
As for the three-stone bow, those who can use such a powerful weapon are all people with natural supernatural power. It is extremely rare. It is really the kind of person who can conquer the world with one arrow in his hand!
For example, gods like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are both masters of the three-stone bow (equivalent to three hundred Song Jin, one Song Jin = 1.2 Jin)
With Chang Yu's current physique, it is not difficult to draw a two-stone bow, but his arms feel sore after just a few strokes. Pulling a standard one-stone bow can last for dozens of times!
As for the three-stone bow, he wanted to try it, but he couldn't find it in the army for a while!
My goal is to become a master of three-stone bow! Chang Yu took the seven-double bow in his hand and aimed at the big tree twenty steps away. He kept thinking silently in his heart, and was not affected by the fierce fighting in the distance.
Fifty-six out of ten, his level is only below average, but for a novice like Chang Yu, it is already very good, and he can fire nearly fifty times with the Seven Dou Bow, which also surprised several military attachés. They did not expect it.
Although he is not tall, he is very strong.
It was still too weak. Chang Yu's shoulders ached and he felt regretful. He could feel that this body was gradually getting stronger, but it was still not as strong as his body in another world.
Fortunately, he is still making progress, and with his hard work, he believes that this body will achieve amazing achievements.
After all, it has extraordinary healing capabilities. For example, the bloody hole in my leg that was stabbed by Ma Shiyao yesterday was healed today. For example, my shoulders were sore while playing the bow, but it returned to normal in just half a cup of tea!
This is his golden finger!
But Chang Yu soon discovered that his golden finger was not perfect and had certain flaws, that is, the healing function would become extremely slow under continuous trauma.
For example, after losing strength in his shoulders, it only took half a cup of tea (within ten minutes) to return to normal, but the second time it took only a stick of incense (30 minutes).
The third time, it was almost half an hour (an hour) before the situation returned to normal, and by this time the fighting over there had already ended.
The fight ended with no winner or loser!
Tu Yuan led more than 50 strong men of the Tengxiang Guard in a fierce battle with the more than 100 people of the Jinwu Guard. At first, they did not lose, and even had a tendency to crush them. It is not that there are many people in the Jinwu Guard, but that they have no actual combat experience at all, but
The men and horses of this Tengxiang Guard had all been on the battlefield and killed people. In addition, Chang Yu had ordered Tu Yuan to be ruthless, so although the Jinwu Guard had many men and horses when they first came up, they were beaten and overwhelmed in the blink of an eye.
The reason is very simple. No matter how similar the dragon is to the dragon painted by Ye Gong, it is not a real dragon. Moreover, the Jinwu Guard usually only performs daily exercises. It is normal for a man like Tengxiang Guard, who has seen blood for a hundred years, to be stunned and knocked down in an instant.
But after all, they were all selected from thousands of people. After all, they still had the advantage in numbers. Just when they were about to collapse, they actually withstood Tu Yuan's first wave of impact.
What followed was a stalemate battle. The two sides fought so fiercely that few real people were killed. Even though everyone was wearing soft armor and helmets, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and there were many people who saw blood.
He had to lick the boasted guy clean despite the pain. Tu Yuan was already very brave, but when he saw that his side was at a disadvantage, his murderous aura suddenly became unstoppable. Usually, his opponent would be knocked off his horse after just one confrontation. Anyone who can defeat him in three to five rounds
Very rarely.
However, when a fierce man from Jinwu Guard entangled him, Tengxiang Guard was completely at a disadvantage.
As for the Jinwu Guards, the Tengxiang Guards were only at a disadvantage, and they were not ashamed either. After all, they had twice as many people.
At this time, it can be said that it is the time to become famous in the first battle. The big boss of Dongchang is beside him. It is the time to show off, and for the sake of the reputation of Jinwu Guard, Tengxiang Guard must be defeated, otherwise he may not see Jinwu Guard again in the future.
They could only walk around in despair.
Jinwu's guards were fierce, but Tu Yuan's Tengxiang's guards didn't think the same way. Both sides showed their strength and fought with all their might!
When Chang Yu lost strength on his shoulders for the third time, both sides were exhausted from fighting, and the horses could no longer run. They were spinning in circles, leaving the men on the horses panting, yelling, and fighting.
The one who fell from the horse continued to struggle until the two of them lost their strength and lay on the ground gasping for air. At this time, there were only about ten people in the Tengxiang Guard and only about thirty in the Jinwu Guard.
Chang Yu calls for a stop!
No matter who wins or loses, everyone will be rewarded, two taels of silver per person, and there will be a burst of cheers. One fight can earn half a year's salary. Don't be too excited, the big boss of Dongchang is really generous.
"That guy is a tough guy!" Tu Yuan limped over with a murderous look on his face, and pointed at the man next to a brown war horse in the distance.
Although he was brave, as the leader of the Tengxiang Guard, he was bound to be the final target of his opponents, so he suffered a lot of injuries on his body, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in pain when he walked.
"Come here" Chang Yu stretched out his hand and waved to the man.
The man ran over quickly, raised his hands with great difficulty, crossed Chang Yu's fists, and saluted: "I'm a low-ranking official, I'm here to see you, the factory supervisor."
Sure enough, as the name suggests, he is tall and thick, with a strong back and waist. Chang Yu likes this kind of big guy, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Your name is quite interesting, why is it called Outer Bear and not Inner Bear?" He couldn't help but ask.
laughed.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, my baby's name is Xiao Xiongzi. When I was growing up, my father heard people say that foreign monks like to recite sutras, so he gave me this name..." Jia Waixiong said very seriously.
Chang Yu was startled and his face was full of confusion. Is there any connection between this and this?
"Is your arm injured?" Chang Yu asked after seeing the painful expression on his face when he clasped his fists.
"I got hit with a stick by that kid..." Jia Waixiong glared at Tu Yuan fiercely.
"Fuck,..." Tu Yuangang was about to retaliate, but was interrupted by Chang Yu with a smile: "There is no distinction between you and me in the competition on the field. We will be brothers after we get off. You two will be more familiar with each other in the future."
"Thank you, Factory Supervisor, for your support." Jia Waixiong was overjoyed. He didn't even bother to glare at Tu Yuan and hurriedly gave Chang Yu a gift.
Because he knew that he was attracted.
"Tu Yuan gives you a task. You need to form a cavalry of 300 people within three days. What I want is the most sophisticated one!"
Tu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he felt that his life was about to change greatly.
"This governor will lead you to make great contributions to Taiyuan City!"
Chang Yu wanted to form an excellent cavalry that was skilled in bows and horses, capable of fighting and dared to fight. The most important thing was that it was highly mobile and could be used at any time.
As soon as the news came out, tens of thousands of people in Jinwu Guard could not sit still.
Just by Chang Yu's words that he personally led them to make achievements, everyone understood clearly that he was working with the leader of the Dongchang, and as long as he did it, he would definitely be meritorious. Anyway, being a soldier is fighting, and life and death are already determined by fate. Why seize this opportunity?
I can’t compete for fame.
Anyone with some ambition would not want to miss such a good opportunity. However, the number of places is limited, only about 300 people.
In the blink of an eye, Tu Yuan became the examiner.
It was almost noon, Jinwu Guards were still training, Tu Yuan was still selecting men, and Chang Yu was still practicing archery hard.
A group of fast horses came running, originally sent by Niu Yong to inform Chang Yu that the bandit army was sending out a large number of scout horses to circle the city to investigate whether they needed to be intercepted.
Chang Yu happened to have sore shoulders at this time and was resting. After hearing the words, he immediately mounted his horse and went to the top of the city from the nearby Fucheng Gate in the northwest.
