Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 65 Superb Archery
At present, step bows are commonly used in the army. The bow strength is eight Dou, the arrow weighs ten qian, and the effective range is eighty steps.

Converted to a modern unit, the bow force is about 55 pounds, the arrow weighs 39 grams, and the lethal range is 120 meters.

If a bow and arrow of this strength is within fifty steps, using a special armor-piercing arrow is enough to penetrate a single layer of iron armor.

However, in martial arts tests, heavier bows are often used, starting with a stone bow, and shooting at the target eighty steps away.

Now that Saman was going to challenge Fan Zhuoyuan with his archery skills, the venue was naturally moved to the side of Taiye Pool.

The width of Taiye Pool is about [-] steps. In the center of the pool, there are two moving targets placed on the boat, and on the opposite bank which is [-] steps away, there are three places at [-] steps, [-] steps, and [-] steps respectively. Archery targets, these three archery targets are arranged in a straight line.

Until the farthest one hundred and sixty steps, someone will throw an arrow target from a distance, and the winner must be hit in the air.

It is night now, the light around the Taiye Pool is dim, and ordinary people can't even see the lines on the target clearly from a distance of a hundred steps. middle?

This kind of competition method was proposed by Kublai Khan. He thought that the two people tested could not be treated by ordinary warriors, so they should be raised to inhuman difficulty.

All the generals and ministers gathered by the Taiye Pond, seeing the guards arranging arrow targets like this, couldn't help talking, and many generals couldn't help shaking their heads.

Battelle pouted and said, "This kind of assessment method, I am afraid that only Jebe on the grassland can shoot all of them."

Zhebie was originally the master who taught Guo Jing archery, and he was a legendary marksman on the grassland. After that, all sharpshooters on the grassland who can draw bows and shoot eagles will be called Zhebie.

Saman is dressed in white, with long flaxen hair tied into a ponytail, looking handsome and capable.

He came out first with a bow and arrow in hand, and he used two stone bows. After all, he had to shoot a moving target as far as 160 steps away, and it was difficult to guarantee accuracy if the bow was not strong.

The limit of a soldier in the army is three fights with one stone, and some powerful generals can drive two stones. A brave general like Battelle, who is known for his strength, can open an eight-stone bed crossbow, just like Yue Fei who just won the championship back then.

Fan Zhuoyuan was standing on the sidelines, and the two were shooting arrows in rotation. Just now, the lottery was drawn, and it was Sa Man who was drawn first.

Sa Man stroked his chest and bowed to Fan Zhuoyuan, and said with a smile: "General Fan, the competition arranged by His Majesty is quite difficult, but I still have some confidence, but I don't know what General Fan thinks?"

Fan Zhuoyuan folded his arms around his chest, said calmly, "Young master, you can start as much as you want, Fan will follow suit."

Others thought that Fan Zhuoyuan was waiting for Sa Man to make a mistake, so they couldn't help laughing.

"I think it's a lack of confidence, just wait for the opponent to make a mistake."

"I'm afraid he doesn't know that the members of the Assassin Sect are very proficient in shooting in order to pursue the safety of assassination. This young man named Saman has a unique talent in this area. Let's see this Fan later." How to admit defeat."

"Hey, a descendant from the Southern Dynasty also wants to take my name as the number one warrior in the Yuan Dynasty, and he doesn't even think about whether he is worthy or not!"

Fan Zhuoyuan heard all the discussions around him, and finally realized how low a southern general's status in the Yuan court center was at this time.

He also came back with the merit of destroying the country. If he was an ordinary general, he might be treated like a slave by these northern generals, and it might not be impossible.

This kind of loneliness that is the enemy of the whole world, on the contrary, aroused Fan Zhuoyuan's inner desire to win, you all want to see me lose, today I just want to show you the win!

Since you feel that the southerners are not worthy of the title of the first warrior in the Great Yuan Dynasty, I just took it off. I don’t believe that Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Tartars, dared to renege on his promise and become fat in public!

Kublai smiled and said: "General Fan, I know that this time is difficult for others, but Sa Man is proficient in archery, he needs six arrows, and he can hit all the targets without falling, but it is not very difficult."

"Oh? Really? Since that's the case, I'm more interested."

When everyone heard what Fan Zhuoyuan said, they naturally thought that he was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. The title of the number one warrior in the Great Yuan finally did not have to be taken away by this southern general, which made many northerners secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Smiling, Saman drew his bow and set his arrows. At this time, the evening wind came over the Taiye Pond, blowing waves, and the arrow targets on the two boats in the pool were also rippling along with the boats, their trajectories erratic.

Someone immediately reminded: "Young Master Saman, wait for the wind to stop before shooting!"

As soon as the words fell, the wind was raging, but Sa Man drew his bow and shot two arrows in succession. The two arrows flew like a shower, piercing the strong wind, and firmly stuck in the center of the arrow targets of the two boats on Chishang!
Everyone exclaimed, and even the Mongolian brave general Battelle couldn't help but praise: "Good archery! It's really amazing!"

The Mongols are the most proficient in bows and arrows. Seeing that Saman's two arrows were shot against the wind, and they could still guarantee such accuracy, everyone was sincerely amazed. They knew better than anyone how difficult it was. It could even be said that Saman deliberately Feng Qi's archery is all about showing off his skills and increasing his difficulty.

Fan Zhuoyuan also nodded slightly, the other party's performance was beyond his expectation.

Sa Man smiled at Fan Zhuoyuan again, his eyes with heterochromatic irises showed strong confidence.

Battelle said at this time: "Hey, Saman, do you want to shoot from a different angle next? The three archery targets on the other side of the Taiye Pool are connected in a straight line. You are standing at this position, even behind the first target. You can’t even see the target, which is equivalent to blind shooting.”

Saman smiled and said, "General Battelle is right. If I don't shoot blindly, how can I show my strength?"

As he said that, he casually shot three times in a row!

Every time he shoots an arrow, the recurve compound bow in his hand is raised a few minutes, the first arrow shoots straight, and the last two arrows are thrown.

Three arrows were released, and everyone saw three powerful arrows flying up, middle and down in mid-air, and they came to the opposite bank in an instant!
Then there were three thud thump thumps, and everyone saw the arrow hit the target, but no one could see clearly whether it hit the center or not.

A soldier near the opposite bank immediately shouted: "Three arrows hit, all hit the bull's-eye!"

The audience on the sidelines, regardless of civil or military skills, exclaimed in disbelief.

Just now, at the angle of Sa Man’s arrow shooting, all he could see was the first target, and the next two targets were all blocked by the first one. He hit the target entirely by adjusting the angle of the arrow’s throwing. This is as difficult as Battelle said. It is equivalent to blind shooting, and I am afraid that it is difficult for Jebe sharpshooters on the grassland to do so.

Later, if Fan Zhuo shoots these three targets from a distance, even if he hits all of them by shifting the angle, it will be far inferior to Sa Man's blind shooting in the eyes of everyone. He has raised the difficulty to an unimaginable level for ordinary people.

Fan Zhuoyuan saw it in his eyes, but frowned slightly, the light in his eyes still didn't change much.

The last arrow was as far as 160 steps, that is, 240 meters, which was close to the limit of the shooting range. Even with two crossbows, it could only reach this point with a lighter arrow.

There was only one light arrow left in Saman's quiver. As soon as he drew his bow, a soldier over there threw the target far away, and then heard a sound of collapse, the bow string was released, and the arrow went like a shooting star!

In the next instant, he hit the target thrown in the darkness over there steadily.

Not long after, soldiers presented four archery targets from the opposite bank to His Majesty.

Kublai Khan exclaimed, and showed the target to everyone, and saw four arrows and four targets, all in the center!
Exclamations came and went.

Battelle couldn't help but said: "This level of archery is far behind even Jebe on the grassland."

Then he looked at Fan Zhuoyuan and smiled, "Hey, the southern general surnamed Fan, you have good wrestling and strength, but this time, I don't think you need to bring shame on yourself!"

The other Mongolian generals on the side also said: "Hey, General Nanren, it's not shameful for you to admit defeat for a while, I'm afraid there is no one else in Dayuan who has such archery skills!"
