Chapter 148: This is an honor at the national level!
The arrow shot out and passed through the copper ring standing a hundred steps away, causing the sound of a bell.
If you have poor eyesight, it will be difficult to see clearly from a hundred steps away whether you have hit or not, or whether you have to pass through the copper ring to see the existence of the bell.
The bell is a prop used to determine whether the arrow has hit or not. It will make a sound when the arrowhead touches it, and the bell will also be shot down.
The whole audience was silent at first. After the first person praised it, everyone seemed to react and burst into cheers.
Young Master Lu looked away from a distance and asked with surprise: "Did you win?"
Dou Huai nodded and said with disbelief: "In ancient times, there was a foster uncle who could pierce a poplar in a hundred steps, and now there is a Xunshi Yao who can pierce a ring in a hundred steps. If it weren't for luck, Xunshi Yao's archery skills would not be inferior to those of his adoptive uncle."
A long time ago, Yang Youji and Pan Dang were indistinguishable in archery skills, so the two decided to test their archery skills.
At that time, Yang Youji said that he wanted to shoot a willow leaf in a distant willow tree. As soon as he finished speaking, he shot the arrow, and then he actually hit the willow leaf, creating the idiom "a hundred steps to pierce the willow".
Maybe someone can hit a distant target by shooting arrows repeatedly. What is really rare is being able to hit the target again and again and feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Prince Lu didn't want his country's great hero's record to be broken, so he said to Zhiyao: "Prince, why don't you shoot again?"
Zhiyao laughed "haha", opened her bow and nocked an arrow again, and shot the arrow out in the next second, and then heard the bell ringing again.
"This" Young Master Lu was watching very intently this time. What was even more uncomfortable was that the arrow shot by Zhiyao hit the target one hundred and twenty steps away.
That was one hundred and twenty steps, and Zhiyao used the same bow.
How many meters is one step? One step is taken with the left and right feet. An adult's step is about 1.5 meters.
Then, one hundred and twenty steps is the modern one hundred and eighty meters.
With the craftsmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are bows that can shoot up to 180 meters, but there are definitely not many, and they usually only shoot around 100 meters.
Of course, the Zhi family is a big family. Even if the family cannot make excellent bows, why can't they still buy them from outside?
Zhiyao uses a two-stone bow, which has a theoretical effective range of up to two hundred and fifty meters. How far it can maintain its accuracy depends on individual skills.
The next moment the bell rang, the scene erupted with loud shouts: "Cai!!!"
Zhao Wujie, who was originally very eager to try the fifty-step target, hid the bow behind his back with a stiff face. The other hand holding the arrow was too hard. Unfortunately, he could not use his fingers on the arrow shaft.
Power breaks.
There was no guarantee of a hit even at fifty steps, but Zhiyao seemed to hit the target at one hundred and one hundred and twenty steps with ease?
What the hell are you shooting at!
The Jin people present were very excited, and some even started dancing.
Young Master Lu and Dou Huai looked at each other for a while.
Just one hit can be said to be good luck, but if you hit the target of 120 steps the second time, it would be very rude to question it again.
It's just that, right? Gongzi Lu and Dou Huai's expressions turned ugly.
The two arrows just mean that Zhiyao really has the qualifications to raise Youji. It does not prove it with the blood of enemy generals. It does not mean that Zhiyao has surpassed Yang Youji, but one thing must be admitted, that is, Zhiyao is still very young, especially
The heir of the Zhi family will definitely have a chance to prove himself one day.
It's weird to be happy when someone may take away some of your country's achievements, isn't it?
Some people began to test fire. They started with the fifty-step copper ring. They shot too many times and were unable to hit the fifty-step copper ring. Then they tried the twenty-step copper ring. The more times they shot, the more they could hit the target.
Once, they couldn't hit a hundred-step copper ring no matter how hard they tried.
Young Master Lu, who had regained his composure, was a little unwilling to give up. Then he was from Chu, so he said to Zhi Yao: "Can the eldest son shoot again?"
Chu people? They value face and can disregard it when needed.
Zhiyao was not sure that he would hit the copper ring at 150 steps every time. If he shot the copper ring at 100 steps ten times, he would be sure to hit at least eight times.
Later, Zhiyao shot the bronze ring from a hundred paces three more times, without any disgrace, and all of them were hits.
At this time, the people present can be regarded as witnesses of Zhiyao's superb shooting skills. The Jin people will definitely brag about it, and people from other countries will be embarrassed to pretend to be deaf and dumb when asked. Countries will definitely spread the news about Zhiyao's shooting skills.
Feedback from Ji's remarks.
Young Master Lu was already convinced, knowing that what Zhiyao lacked was to establish a reputation on the battlefield. Although he did not hope that his country's brave warriors would become a stepping stone for Zhiyao to establish a reputation, he knew in his heart that one day would come sooner or later.
"I thought Jin was like Chu," Xiang Rong felt extremely sour in his heart.
After Jin and Chu were unable to take care of the outside world, Zheng's living conditions improved greatly.
In the view of the kings and ministers of the Zheng State, it would take at least one generation for Jin and Chu, who had fallen successively, to get back up. It seemed that they had been given wrong information.
Under the strong leadership of Zhao Yang, Jin's civil strife seemed to last shorter than expected.
Although the Chu State went north to target the Man clan, the destruction of the Man clan in one battle once again demonstrated the power of a powerful country.
Who will suffer the most when the two established powers stand up again? Previous history has already given the answer. There is no doubt that it will be Zheng Guo!
In Xiang Rong's view, Jin State has great hope of ending the civil strife as soon as possible under the leadership of Zhao Yang. When Jin State turns its attention abroad again, it will be impossible to let go of countries that interfere in Jin's internal affairs, and Zheng State is one of them.
Originally, Zhiyao had already proven his military ability by defeating the coalition forces of the princes twice, and today he showed that level of archery skills. If his ability in domestic affairs is demonstrated, it will not only mean that the Zhi family will take off, but also represent a certain person in the Jin Dynasty.
One day, under the leadership of Zhiyao, the countries will be suppressed again.
The people who thought that way included Gongzi Lu, who had such a worried expression behind him.
There was a person at the scene who would secretly look at Zhiyao with jealous eyes from time to time. His name was Zhao Wuxie.
"How did Zhiyao practice archery? He hit the bronze ring at 150 steps once, and he was able to hit the bronze ring at 100 steps four times in a row. It's definitely not luck!" Zhao Wuxie shot 14 at the bronze ring at 50 steps.
times, just one successful hit.
Zhao Wuxie, who has a stubborn personality, felt a little uncomfortable in his arms and lacked strength after ejaculating ten times. He gritted his teeth and ejaculated four more times, but he felt pain even if he moved his arms.
Zhao Wuxie just felt pain in his arm today, and it will feel more sore tomorrow, and it will most likely become swollen and hard.
"Wu Shi." Han Geng came to Zhao Wu Shi.
Zhao Wuxie looked at Han Geng with doubtful eyes. When he wanted to salute, he must use his arms. As a result, his cheeks twitched when he moved his arms.
"Master Chu is very rude, why are you?" Of course Han Geng saw Master Lu's attitude towards Zhao Wuxie and did not understand why Zhao Wuxie had no reaction at all.
After all, Zhao Wuxie is now the eldest son of the Zhao family, and his father is a "Yuanrong" of the Jin Kingdom. Showing weakness will not only embarrass the Zhao family, but also damage the trust of the Jin nobles present in the Zhao family.
To put it bluntly, when your status reaches a certain level, your words and deeds no longer represent yourself!
Zhao Wuxie twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "We are sixteen, and the young master has sixty-two."
At such an old age, and acting so well on such occasions, is it Zhao Wuji who is embarrassed, or Gongzi Lu?
In fact, both of them were embarrassed, but everyone knew why Gongzi Lu had such an attitude towards Zhao Wuxie, and most people would think Gongzi Lu was more reasonable.
The problem is that Zhao Wuxie can't say anything, he can only have a vague attitude and suffer this embarrassing loss.
After hearing what Zhao Wuxie said, Han Geng felt that Zhao Wuxie's character was a bit gloomy. Furthermore, Zhao Wuxie was so tolerant at such a young age, so he thought it would be better to be more cautious when getting along with each other in the future.
"Although I knew Yao was good at shooting, I never thought about it." Han Geng didn't want to say any more, with a sincere and wry smile on his face.
The Han family was famous for being good at shooting. Their eldest son, Han Geng, shot eighteen times, but never once hit the bronze ring a hundred steps away.
This scene undoubtedly once again proves Zhiyao's prowess in shooting.
Han Geng actually didn't feel embarrassed. No one else could do it except Zhi Yao. Everyone was half-assed. What's there to be ashamed of?
In addition, the people at the scene knew that they could not hit the target, but few understood why they could not hit the target.
In addition to relying on bows and arrows, archery also relies heavily on the feel of the hand, and then on having enough judgment on the wind.
Most people's bows and arrows are not very good. Being able to hit the target must be luck and does not represent the prowess of archery.
Zhiyao's bows and arrows are very sophisticated. Next, he knows how to judge the wind. He will decide where to shoot based on the strength of the wind, instead of aiming straight at the target every time.
Too many people just aim directly at the target and shoot arrows. The arrows they shoot will be blown by the wind and move their flight path. It is strange that the arrows can hit the target due to the influence of the wind.
Many people don't even understand that if the arrow shaft is straight enough, the arrow feathers can actually determine the hit rate, and even the range and penetration.
Zhiyao didn't understand that at all at first. As he slowly studied, he gradually mastered the science of archery. Coupled with his own talent and diligent practice, he now has the ability.
Their hunt did not end in one day, but lasted for seven days.
During subsequent hunts, Zhiyao spent more time socializing with others and did not focus on getting more prey.
There is a very funny thing, that is, Zhao Wushi shot the copper ring too hard, and his arms were almost useless the next day.
From the back, Zhao Wuxie is just like in some modern zombie movies. Except that he doesn't jump and jump, his arms don't swing with the steps. Every time he uses his arms, his movements are extremely stiff.
Others might have said goodbye or stayed in the tent and not come out, but Zhao Wuji did whatever he was supposed to do. Even if he went hunting with us as a spectator, he never gave up his participation once.
Zhao Wuxie was treated like this by the Chu State and the Fan family at first, but later he behaved as if nothing was wrong.
Seeing Zhao Wuji like that, most people looked at it as a joke, but some people had other opinions.
So, is Zhao Wuji making a profit or a loss in this wave?
Regardless of whether Zhao Wuji made a profit or a loss, he didn’t get as much as Zhiyao!
