Chapter 2 The Bewitching Black Pearl (3)

The first update today, I strongly ask for recommendation votes and favorites. Please vote for Dzi Beads with all your recommendation votes. Thank you.

-----------------------------------------------

"Are you kidding me?" The Bingyouzi team leader suddenly stood up. This guy was over 1.9 meters tall and had a very strong body. As soon as he stood up, he suddenly became imposing. He grabbed Zhou Weiqing's front and fiercely

Her face was already right in front of his eyes.

"Uh..., what I mean is, I need to think about which branch to choose." Zhou Weiqing immediately said with a smile on his face. As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his life, and he doesn't want to be beaten. In fact, if he is willing

If he reveals his identity, I'm afraid everyone here will fall to their knees. However, although Zhou Weiqing is a bit insidious and cunning, there is one good thing. He absolutely obeys his father's words. His marshal father once said to

He said that he who sheds his own sweat, eats his own food, and relies on his parents to rely on heaven and earth is not a true hero. Therefore, although Zhou Weiqing is young and a nobleman, he will never bully others like Princess Difuya.

In fact, if Zhou Weiqing really regrets not being a soldier, then the squad leader has nothing to do with him. Who knows that he is so young, so frightened, he will immediately be unable to say anything about not being a soldier.

After listening to Zhou Weiqing's answer, the squad leader sat back with satisfaction, tilted his head and looked at him and said: "Hurry up and choose, then fill out the form and take the test. Let me tell you, boy, you are lucky, today is the first time."

The one-day recruitment test is relatively loose, otherwise, do you think it would be so easy to join the army and get paid?"

Zhou Weiqing said with a bitter face: "Brother officer, um, I want to ask, if we go to the battlefield, which branch of the army is at the back and least likely to come into direct contact with the enemy?"

He has his own ideas. Every boy has a heroic dream when he is young. If he wants to be a fire-headed soldier or something responsible for logistics supplies, he really doesn't want to. Since he is a soldier, he must be decent. Otherwise

In the future, my father will know that he is just a cook, but he will not beat him to death? He himself cannot afford to disgrace this person. But the main combat unit will definitely go to the battlefield, and Zhou Weiqing certainly hopes to find a relatively safe unit.

Safety comes first. This guy has always believed that fear of death is human nature and it's normal. He doesn't have the concept of taking death as home.

There was a cunning light in the eyes of the squad leader, and Shi Shiran said: "The simple one is naturally the archer. Archers usually stand in the back row. Even if they need to go to the front to discharge arrows, they will take the lead on both sides.

Retreat to the rear before the troops collide. Unless our army is completely defeated, otherwise, generally speaking, archers will never come into direct contact with the enemy."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Weiqing was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, this is good, right! Why didn't I expect that our Tiangong Empire's most outstanding military unit, the officer brother, would be an archer." Archers usually stand in the back row,

And he will be protected by soldiers, he still knows this.

Seeing that his trick was successful, the team leader smiled, then sat up straight, picked up his pen and said: "Name, age."

"My name is Zhou..." Zhou Weiqing almost said his name directly. Fortunately, he was quick to accept it and immediately changed his words: "My name is Zhou Xiaopang. I am sixteen years old." He has lived in a noble family since he was a child, and he is

The only son in the family, although he is only thirteen years old, he understands the ways of the world much earlier than ordinary teenagers. Since he decided to join the army, he obviously cannot be discovered by his father, so he temporarily gave himself a name. As for Zhou

The name Xiaopang is still his nickname when he was a child. It has not been used for ten years, so he is naturally not afraid of his father coming to the army to investigate.

"Little Fatty Zhou? You're not fat either!" the officer muttered while taking notes. He had no doubt at all about Zhou Weiqing's reported age of sixteen.

Soon, after the registration was completed, he handed the form to Zhou Weiqing, pointed to a corner of the circle on the side and said: "Go, the archer test is over there. As long as you pass the test, you will be an imperial soldier."

"Thank you, officer brother." Zhou Weiqing took the form and thought happily, this time is really good. He can become a soldier again and be a less dangerous archer. This is simply perfect.

He excitedly took the form and came to the test site. There were only four or five soldiers here, wearing simple black and gray military uniforms, with light leather armor on their upper bodies, special finger guards on their hands, and a ring on their heads.

A hood with a large brim, a long bow on his back, and a flask of arrows under each arm. This is the standard equipment of ordinary archers. It also has a somewhat heroic appearance. Although no one is testing it at this time,

Several archers stood up straight. Zhou Weiqing was very aware of his father's stern character and how he was so fierce towards his son, let alone running an army. Therefore, although the Tiangong Empire was small and the total number of troops was only tens of thousands, it was quite large.

Elite, in the battle of the same number of armies, Zhou Weiqing's father, Marshal Zhou, has never experienced defeat, and he is famous among the effects around him.

"Brothers, I'm here for a test." Zhou Weiqing handed over the form. A soldier took the form, glanced at him, and said: "Little brother, you have a lot of ideas. Congratulations on choosing our promising company."

Here, try pulling it twice." As he said that, the soldier who took the form took off the long bow from his back and handed it to Zhou Weiqing.

Zhou Weiqing took the long bow and couldn't help lowering his head to examine it carefully. He saw that the long bow was made of high-quality star wood, with a length of 1.8 meters and an arrow length of 0.9 meters. The front part of the bow frame was arc-shaped.

, the back is flat. The middle hand grip of the bow is about four centimeters wide, gradually tapering toward both ends, and the ends are inlaid with corner materials.

This kind of long bow has been developed through countless years of war. It is a mixed-material bow in ancient times in the vast continent. The length of the crossbow is generally less than one meter and two meters, and the attack distance is only two hundred yards (one yard is equivalent to 0.9 meters).

), the effective range is only a hundred yards, and the penetration power is far from enough. As time goes by, crossbows gradually develop into larger sizes, especially after the discovery of star wood, a high-quality wood with a tough texture and small weight, longbows

It began to be used on a large scale. The longbow used by the archers of the Tiangong Empire is extremely powerful. The longest range of an ordinary longbow is 400 yards, and the effective range is 250 yards. It is the second most powerful crossbow.

times. Its rate of fire is as high as ten to twelve arrows per minute, which is unmatched by crossbows. In the hands of skilled soldiers, the hit rate of longbows is much higher than that of crossbows. Because longbows are lighter and easier to

Mastery, great power, suitable for skirmish shooting and square volleys, these advantages eventually led to the elimination of the crossbow. It can be said that the longbow is the most effective and versatile individual weapon on the battlefield.

The high rate of fire of the longbow can achieve a "barrage" effect. When one's own soldiers charge forward, the longbowmen at the rear can still release high parabolic arrows to attack the upper part of the enemy. The weak point of the war horse is the attack from above.

Some war horses have no armor, so once injured, they will become difficult to control. Even at the extreme distance of 300 meters, cone-shaped arrows can still penetrate ordinary mail armor.
