Chapter 10 Bows and Arrows
Since he came to Nandaying for three days, Zuo Houde has almost no work every day and is very leisurely.
There were only a few, and the injured soldiers trained to come for treatment.
I usually chat with Doctor Zhang every day and watch the soldiers in the camp training.
On that day, Zuo Houde was bored under the tent and attracted the followers arranged by the camp, "Silang, find me a bow and arrow."
"The doctor doesn't know how many fights it is," Silang asked with his fists.
The calculation method of a bow is: fix a bow on the wall, and then hang a heavy object on the bow string. When the bow is completely pulled open, the weight of the heavy object hanging on the bow string is the bow force of the bow string. Ancient one stone bow (one stone weighs different in each dynasty, ranging from 30-60 kilograms) is already a strong bow. Tang Wu used a stone bow to shoot a long pile, and a bow of more than seven dou to ride a bow. The archers of the Song Dynasty military were equipped with a stone bow.
This stone bow in Youzhou army is about 45 kilograms. Only those who have amazing arm strength and good shooting can do it.
"Shiro and I can just take the seven-double bow."
In this Youzhou city, riding horses and shooting archery is a skill that everyone has. If you are proficient or unable to do so, you can also use it. Although Zuo Houde has been studying medicine all year round, he often goes to the horse farm to play in the autumn. The ability to ride and shoot is not good, and he is still able to pass.
From time to time, Shiro brought seven hard bows.
This bow is a common iron-tied bow. The back of the laminated composite bow mixed with metal and bamboo and wood tendon angles is iron. It is produced instead of the wooden bow and inlaid with iron bars on the back of the bow, increasing the range and power. It is also called "iron spine bow. The bow string is made of raw cowhide, which is not fancy at all, but it is practical.
This is a common type of bow that the people of Youzhou love to use. Many parts of the bow body are also wrapped in iron sheets, and there are even iron-tied bows with full iron bow body. Even without arrows, the bow itself can be used as a weapon.
Silang knew that Zuo Houde had to practice archery, so he brought an arrow bag, which contained about ten arrows. The arrow was about 90 cm long. Although the head was iron, the arrow shaft was made of poplar wood, which was thicker and straight, so that it could fly smoothly. The feathers were stuck to the tail of the arrow and were not only fixed with glue, but also tied firmly to prevent it from falling off during rapid flight.
Zuo Houde put on a "天", which is the utensil worn on the thumb of his right hand when shooting archery. It is also called "天", commonly known as "天" and takes the bow and arrow and the arrow bag, and walks to the shooting range.
In the military camp, each battalion has its own shooting range. Now the soldiers in Zuo Houde and his camp are training. There are few people in the shooting range, and only two or three generals are practicing arrows. Zuo Houde also knows two. A tall and thin man named Li, and everyone is named Li Er, who is a village chief, and the other white-faced man named Zhang, with a single name with Yun, which is also a village chief. Zuo Houde has never seen the remaining strong man.
"Dr. Zuo is here to practice arrows, too?" Li Er shouted.
"That's right, the camp was boring, so I came to the shooting range to practice arrows. Why didn't Brother Li and Brother Zhang lead the soldiers to train? I have never seen this brother before. Here are the military doctors in this camp. I wonder if my brother is?"
"Haha, brothers turned out to be the military doctor in the camp. I am Yan Zhong from the personal guard camp. The sixth one in the family is, so I call me Liu brother." Yan Zhong smiled heartily.
"So Brother Six is from the personal guard camp!" Zuo Houde.
"Yes, the general went to the city to report, and our brothers followed him, delaying all the way until last night, and I arrived in the army. This morning, I was called by the general to practice arrows, alas." Yan Zhong complained, thinking that in his opinion, practicing arrows was a very troublesome thing.
"We brothers and Brother Yan Liu are both old acquaintances. As soon as Brother Liu arrived at the military camp, we would accompany Brother Liu to get to the military camp," said Li Er on the side. Zhang Yun nodded and said yes.
After greeting them for a while, Zuo Houde walked aside and practiced alone.
This man and the target had about fifty steps. Zuo Houde drew an arrow, took a bow, arched, shot an arrow, and shot an arrow. He made a feather arrow straight to the target. When Zuo Houde saw that he was three inches away from the target's eye, he almost didn't get on the target.
Zuo Houde silently raised his bow, raised it slightly, shot another arrow at the target in the distance, and then dropped a little more. He changed seven arrows in a row, and each arrow would make some adjustments. After the seven arrows were shot, the last arrow finally hit the bull's eye.
Zuo Houde knew very well that the materials of the bows were different, and the strength of the bows were different, and the lines drawn by the arrows in the air were not the same. Even the bows made of the same material would pass through the air. In addition, the weight of the feather arrows would also affect the route. Therefore, an excellent archer usually uses his own bow, the most familiar and the most accurate shooting.
Of course, a real hunter can adjust it with an unfamiliar bow and arrow at most three arrows.
In fact, the archery masters in the horse farm at that time said that Zuo Houde was very talented. In fact, Zuo Houde understood that it was mainly because his golden finger was powerful.

I practice breathing techniques all year round, and I am strong, and I am afraid I have hundreds of kilograms of strength between my arms. Moreover, after the gains of my internal organs over the years, my endurance is far beyond ordinary people. I don’t know how much the advantage of archery is to be greater than that of ordinary people.
Of course, Zuo Houde understood that his archery skills had not yet entered the room, and the system was not displayed on the layout.
That's all right, one word "practice"
Zuo Houde took another arrow, maintaining the force of the previous arrow, let go of his hand and hit the bull's eye again. He pulled out an arrow from the arrow pouch again, and repeatedly shot seven or eight feather arrows, four hit the bull's eye.
Zuo Houde shook his head. Not to mention that skilled archers hit the bull's eye, they still hit the bull's eye with fixed targets like this.
Look at Yan Zhong's archery next to him, he really has no talent. The archery posture is so strange that it looks. No one shot hit the bull's eye, and there are even a few arrows off the target.
Li Er and Zhang Yun next to him saw that they were veterans in the army. They were not fast and had a slow pace. They drew arrows and bowed, raised their hands to shoot arrows, and almost hit the arrows.
For Zuo Houde, both strength and strength are enough, so Zuo Houde does not control the speed too much. After all, it is not accurate now, not lacking in physical strength.
For Li Er and others, archery must control the speed of the archery and master its own rhythm to maintain physical strength. If ten arrows are shot out too fast, the strength of the entire arm will be gone.
The dream was useless, Zuo Houde took off the feather arrow from the target and put it into the arrow pouch. He walked fifty steps away and shot the arrow again.
Another round, fortunately, seven or eight teams hit the bull's-eye.
Li Er, who was standing beside him, came over and said in surprise, "Dr. Zuo is physically strong and has very good arm strength!"
Li Er could tell at a glance that Zuo Houde's arm strength was very strong, just like Zuo Houde's bow was the same as him, all seven dou. However, Zuo Houde's ejaculation was faster and much more, Li Er asked himself that he could not do it.
It is not a false statement that archery is exhausted. Li Er will probably lose his strength after one round after another. Seeing that Zuo Houde shot two rounds, his face was still not red or breathless.
"It's okay, Brother Li, I wonder if there are any tricks for brother shooting archery?" Zuo Houde also wanted to find some tricks.
"There is no trick? If you practice too much, you will naturally ejaculate correctly!" Li Er also said indifferently.
"Then practice more." Zuo Houde also knew that practice makes perfect, and most of them didn't have any skills.
He took down the feather arrow again, put it into the arrow bag, and shot the arrow again.
Four or five arrow pouches were shot down, Zuo Houde was also a little overwhelmed, and his right arm was a little sore. He could only learn from Li Er to control the speed of archery, maintain a slower rhythm, and then shoot.
He shot a hundred shots before he returned to the military doctor's base to rest. At the same time, he applied some medicine to his right arm, which was a little sore.
