Spring and Autumn I Am King

Eighty steps!

After listening to all the young people, there was a lot of discussion. The last time Lu Xing was shooting with others, he only moved 70 steps away. This time, it was actually 80 steps. Is it because Lu Xing's shooting skills have improved again? Or, he just buckled the strings at will last time, and didn't show his real ability.

Zhao Wuqi was a little surprised after hearing that, eighty paces, which is an incredible distance.

In the Zhou Dynasty, eight feet were used as a step, and one foot was equal to 23.1 centimeters in later generations.

Zhao Wuxi was also fascinated by bows and arrows in his previous life, but he was only a gamer, and his level was not very good.

He knows that bows and arrows have the concept of maximum range and effective range. Judging from the development of bows in the Spring and Autumn Period, the recurve angle bows commonly used in the Xia Army generally have a maximum range of about 110 steps and an effective range of 70 to 70. 80 steps of this range. But in fact, even in the previous life, if the arrow could not miss the arrow within 50 steps, he was already a leader in bow play.

And Lu Xing wants to shoot at 80 paces away, which means that his shooting skills have reached the peak of ordinary people. If he goes further, he may be able to touch the field of geniuses such as Yang Youji, Pan Dang, and Lu Qi.

When Lu Xing's attendant brought his special bow, Zhao Wuxi immediately understood, no wonder this guy is so big and dares to shoot from 80 steps away, so he has a lot of strength!

In the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the bows used by Zhu Xia were recurve angle bows, and there were also some single straight draw bows made of bamboo and wood.

Zhao Wuxi heard from a craftsman in Chengyi that the six materials needed to make a bow are stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk and lacquer. , it is possible to combine it into a bow.

For the selection criteria of the six materials, the craftsmen have more detailed regulations. For example, there are seven kinds of raw materials for bow stems, and they are arranged in the order of their pros and cons. First, rhinoceros is second, orange is second, papaya is second, Jing is second, and bamboo is second.” It is considered that among the seven kinds of trees, the bow is the best material, and the second is bamboo.

The one in Lu Xing's hand was the Tuomu horn bow with one stone and two buckets.

In the Zhou and Qin era, one stone was about 60 kilograms. Ordinary people lacked the skills to draw the bow and exert force. Recklessly pulling the string would not only fail to draw the bow, but also easily hurt the arm. At the beginning of the spring, Zhao Wuxi presided over a village archery ceremony in Chengyi, and only about half of the untrained adults could open a crossbow.

Therefore, the one-stone and two-dou horn bow used by Lu Xing is equivalent to 72 kilograms. It is the standard bow made by tigers in the army. It is not easy for a strong bow of this weight to open a bow like a full moon, but if it can be fully opened, it can even be used for Shoot rough-skinned rhinos and elephants.

During the winter hunt last year, what Zhao Wuxi used to shoot black bears was only a bow with a stone horn, which could only penetrate two armors in fifty steps. As for the bow with one stone and two fights, he also tried to draw it half full, but he could only insist on releasing more than fifty arrows each time. At the last few arrows, his hands and shoulder muscles would be sore and trembling, and the arrows would shoot. The quasi-head is completely gone.

From this point of view, Lu Xing's strength is far greater than Wu Xing's. You must know that he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his body can continue to grow. When he becomes an adult, I am afraid that there will be another terrorist shooter better than Pan Dang and Lu Qi in the world.

Linghu Bo coughed lightly and announced the rules for winning and losing this archery: "The archer, whose appearance and posture conform to the requirements of etiquette, whose archery rhythm is in line with the rhythm of the music, and who shoots a lot, wins!"

Zhao Wuxi knows that when shooting arrows, he pays attention to "following the sound", that is, listening to the rhythm of the movement. It was because when the two armies were at war, the archers opened their bows and shot arrows, and they had to listen to the rhythm of the golden drums and shoot in salvos, instead of being indiscriminate. , those who do not have a title are punished as Chengdan pounding.

This time, it was actually Zhao Guangde who volunteered and asked him to beat the rhythm. After speaking, he took a drum hammer and struck a pottery fou. Fo, is a pottery vessel that holds wine and can also be used as a musical instrument. It is the most popular in Qin. Historically, at the Mianchi meeting in the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru forced the King of Qin to knock, and this was the thing.

At first glance, Wu Tie heard that he was not bad at knocking. Sure enough, his vocal music, good wine and food are the little fat man's strengths.

Zhou Li stipulates: the festival of the archery ceremony, the emperor takes the "Zu Yu" as the festival; the princes take the "raccoon head" as the festival; the officials take the "Cai Ping" as the festival; the scholars take the "Cai Fan" as the festival.

What Zhao Guangde beats is the rhythm of the poem "Zhao Nan. Cai Ping", which is used to praise the doctor for following the law.

Lu walked to the position of eighty paces, and after standing firm, he held a bow with one hand and touched the leather quiver on his waist with the other, and drew an arrow. After that, he bent down and sat on the horse, sank to the bottom of the plate, and after a light drink, he passed through his long arms, and pulled open the ox tendon and Tuomu horn bow, which was one stone and two fights, and hooked up with a bronze cluster of feather arrows.

Accompanied by the vigorous rhythm of the foul, the bowstrings continued to ring.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After Lu Xing shot an arrow, he followed the rhythm and quickly drew another arrow from the quiver, caught it, opened the bow again, and shot four times in a row.

Zhao Wuxi saw that five arrows had been inserted into the center of the target covered with tiger and leopard prints in the distance, and the arrows were almost out of the target, leaving only the feathers and arrow shafts exposed.

"Okay!" Linghu Bo couldn't help but shouted hello for his cousin's performance. He looked at Zhao Wuxi with a smile, but saw that there was no fear or cowardice on his face, but rather... …excited?

Thinking about it in Linghu Bo, even if this son is proficient in archery, he will not be the opponent of his cousin Lu Xing, but why is he so calm?

A young man ran over and tried to pull out the arrow that Lu Xing shot through the target, but he tried his best, his face blushed and he couldn't pull it out.

The disciples of the doctor looked at each other and nodded, all thumbs up. These five arrows were fired in a row, in harmony with the rhythm, and the momentum was heavy. Lu Xing was indeed an expert at shooting, and he was the best at Pan Palace.

From their point of view, the outcome of this competition has been decided.

The black-clothed and brocade-clad boy named "Lezi" just slapped his thigh and said, "Come on, this gentleman of the Zhao family will definitely lose today. If he loses, it doesn't matter if he is punished with alcohol. Xiaozong Lu Xing was defeated. Since then, the children of the Zhao family's family of doctors have been unable to raise their heads. Alas, it seems that we still have to follow Wei Zi and Han Zi."

The white-clothed boy Zhang Zi was not in a hurry, and he still said the same sentence: "Wait a little longer, we will see the outcome soon."

On the other side, Lu Xing let out a long sigh and was very proud of his archery skills. He raised his chin towards Zhao Wuxi and said proudly: "Xing Xian is ugly, Zhao Zi thinks how capable I can be of my ancestor Wu Zi?"

His original intention was to show off and provoke, but Zhao Wu Xie commented so casually: "In Wu Xie's opinion~www.wuxiahere.com~ Lu Zi's archery is not like the legendary Lu Wuzi's arrow. Being so cunning and ingenious, it has a bit of Pan Dang demeanor."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the archer said that my strength is suitable for learning Pan Dang's archery, and now I can wear three layers of leather armor at fifty steps**!"

Zhao Wuxi calculated silently in his heart. Within fifty steps, he could only open a crossbow and penetrate two layers of leather armor.

In other words, his strength was only about two-thirds of Lu Xing's.

To draw a strong bow, one has to gradually increase the size. With Zhao Wuxi's physical foundation, it is impossible to achieve the level of Lu Xing by relying on both arms to draw a bow without years of training.

There was a smile at the corner of Wu Tie's mouth. He really underestimated Lu Xing's ability, but unfortunately, with the help of the sharp weapon he brought, this third of the gap would be silently offset!

"Okay! It seems that I can congratulate the monarch. I have a Pan Dang-like shooter in Jin. However, no matter how strong Pan Dang is, it is only the second shooter in the world. Once Yang Youji comes out, he can restrain him!"

Lu Xing was very happy when he was praised, but then he was confused: "What does Zhao Zi mean?"

Zhao Wu Xie said slowly: "Wu Xie is good at archery, but it is somewhat similar to Yang Youji. It is not fierce, but precise, although I dare not say that a hundred steps can penetrate Yang..."

With a wave of his hand, he pointed at the position ten paces behind Lu Xing and said, "But I can still do it at ninety paces away!"

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, the third update will be a little later, around 12 o'clock in the evening.
