There are several shelves on both sides of the room. The two brown wooden shelves on the left hold eight unstrung bows, of different sizes and colors, arranged neatly. The wooden cabinets against the wall hold arrow pots and bow bags. Rings, arrows of different lengths, etc. There are different swords on the three shelves on the right. It can be seen that the owner likes to collect bows and swords.
Yi Shangyan picked up the black wooden bow from the shelf on the left, "Heiwa, have you ever used a five-stone bow before?"
Chang Siguo shook his head: "I have only used two stone bows at most."
The two stone bows in the bow bag at his waist were captured from the Beirong people. In the past, he used whatever bows he had, and there was no choice. This was the first time he had seen so many exquisite bows, and he liked any one given to him.
Yi Shangyan clasped the lower bow tip at the ankle of his left foot, crossed the belly of the bow with his right leg, held the upper bow tip with his right hand and bent the bow upward, then hung the string with his left hand, and handed the stringed black bow to Chang Si Passed by and said with a smile:
"Come on, try it out."
Chang Si took over a black wooden bow that was slightly longer than a hunting bow. It was quite heavy. It was estimated to weigh twenty or thirty kilograms, which was more than twice as heavy as the hunting bow he was using now. The sides of the bow arms were decorated with thick lines of dark red beasts. pattern, with copper rings on both ends, polished until it was shiny and spotless.
Try to pull the bow string. It is much more laborious than firing a two-stone bow. Apply more force on your hands and slowly pull the bow completely.
Feel the tension of the bow string, pause for a few breaths, and then release your fingers.
"Bang", the sound of playing the strings is not loud, crisp and without noise, much quieter than the string sound of his hunting bow.
Once you think about it, you will fall in love with this feeling. This is the quality that a good bow should have.
When facing the enemy, if the sound of the bowstring is loud, the magical effect of concealment and sneak attack will be lost.
He has heard the sound of Yi Shangyan's bowstring, which is louder than this. It should be because everyone pays different attention to it.
He tried pulling the bow string twice more. Chang Siguo was very satisfied and stopped Yi Shangyan from stringing another dark red long bow. He said, "Brother Yi, this bow is very good. It's easy to use. I'll just use this one. It's not strong enough." I can keep up. I won’t try the seven-stone bow and the nine-stone bow. They are not suitable for me at the moment.” He was able to control this bow with ease.
"Oh, don't be polite. I also have two five-stone bows. Why don't you try them too?"
"I won't try it anymore. This bow suits my eyes. It's just this black wood bow."
"The main body of this bow is made of black ironwood and refined copper. It is not afraid of being chopped by ordinary magic weapons. The strings are made of the tendons of alien animals. The black wood bow matches the black baby. Haha, you are indeed destined."
Yi Shangyan joked and said: "Let's go to the top of the city to try out arrows. It would be best to use Beirong people as arrow targets."
"I think so too."
Chang Siguo slung the black wooden bow across his shoulders and walked out of the yard. The two of them were walking towards the north city wall when they suddenly heard the rapid "du, du, du" sound from the north city, followed by a horn blowing in the direction of the west city. A warning horn sounded.
Yi Shangyan frowned and said, "It's strange. Beirong is fully attacking Sihuang City. Are they anxious?" After running for a few steps, he tilted his head and warned: "Brother Heiwa, follow me later and don't wander around."
"clear!"
The two of them ran in a hurry and rushed to the north city wall.
Under the orders of the captains of each unit, groups of soldiers from the Beicheng camp were climbing up the city in an orderly manner from the middle of the city road. Six feet of the more than ten feet of the city wall were occupied, leaving only the outer four corners. The ruler is used for soldiers and body refiners to get up and down.
Chang Siguo followed Yi Shangyan, jumping up more than twenty steps at a time, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Hi, Heiwa, Heiwa..."
When he looked back, in the crowd on the left, his former chief, Mu Shuangquan, was grinning and shouting at him. He was wearing clean light armor and a light helmet. His brown face with wild beards was smiling like a wind. The rippling dog's tail flowers.
It was the surprise of suddenly seeing an acquaintance in the aftermath of a disaster.
Behind Lao Mu were dozens of soldiers with tattoos on their foreheads.
Yi Shangyan glanced back. He was just a gang leader. He didn't care much and jumped up quickly.
Chang Siguo smiled and pointed in the direction of the city and shouted, "Be careful! Old Mu."
I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in Beicheng. I thought that Lao Mu was assigned to follow the outpost Zuo Wei. It turned out that they were disrupted. They were organized into teams and assigned to various city walls to help defend.
He raised his hand to indicate that now was not the time to talk, and ran after him towards the top of the city.
Mu Shuangquan looked at the strong and burly back of the man who took an extraordinary step. He had mixed feelings in his heart. The old black turtle did not enjoy the blessing. He died too early. Who would have thought that that stupid man couldn't be hit with a stick? Later, the fool who could only practice martial arts changed into a person who could speak and write, and became a physical trainer that everyone in the army envied.
He guessed that the death of Hei Lao Turtle gave Hei Wa too much stimulation, which made Hei Wa go crazy and make a breakthrough.
On the way back that day, Hei Wa felt that Hei Wa was a little weird. Especially when he was being questioned by Mr. Tian, Hei Wa's performance scared him into a cold sweat. At that time, he was so preoccupied with the excitement of getting promoted that he did not calm down and think carefully. think……
"Commander, is that gentleman your friend?"
A man with a sinewy face next to him tugged at Mu Shuangquan's sleeves and asked with a flattering smile in a low voice.
Mu Shuangquan stopped looking upward, with a hint of regret in his eyes. In front of his subordinates, he smiled arrogantly and proudly: "That's right. Back then, he and I were just stirring up food in the same pot. After three years of birth and death, do you think we are friends? He calls me Lao Mu."
"Ah, really? That gentleman looks young, and on his forehead...hehe, how come he is from the same group as us?"
"Of course it's true. He has been in the army much longer than you. He can kill Beirong traitors as easily as he can chop melons and vegetables. There are eighty if not a hundred. Oh, by the way, his archery skills are super powerful. Didn't you notice? Is he carrying two bows? Those are not just decorations, I will show you later, what does it mean to shoot an arrow without missing a point? That's awesome."
"Ha, it would be nice to have some experience..."
Chang Siguo followed Yi Shangyan to find Shan Liwen. Shan Liwen was responsible for defending this section of the city wall.
Many soldiers at the top of the city were carrying wood, stones, and arrows, and erecting wooden planks to build multi-layered arrow-blocking shelters. They were all accustomed to doing this, and they were busy but not chaotic. Some soldiers set up large pots behind the wooden planks to shovel snow and light a fire to boil gold juice. .
That smell stinks three miles into the wind.
Groups of soldiers were in place, and the group leaders roared loudly and assigned themselves to their respective positions.
Shan Liwen was accompanied by two body refiners, and he patrolled the city's defenses with a relaxed expression.
Seeing Yi Shangyan and Chang Siguo coming, Shan Liwen nodded and smiled, and said to Chang Siguo: "Follow Lao Yi and support wherever there is an emergency at the top of the city. You can kill a few Beirong leaders." A big leader would be the best.”
The two body refiners looked at the unfamiliar big black man curiously. It was rare to see a body refiner with a bow, and they didn't know where Lao Dan got it from?
After saying a few words, a captain came to Shan Liwen to discuss matters, and the three of them walked forward again.
Yi Shangyan glanced at the pot of golden juice nearby, held his breath, pulled Hei Wa who was looking outside the city, walked up to the front, leaned against an empty wall, and looked out into the distance outside the city with Hei Wa. .
Five miles away, the Bei Rongbu cavalry were approaching here in a dark mass. It didn't look like there were three thousand people and horses, and many horses could be seen pulling carts of equipment.
Yi Shangyan squinted his eyes and murmured to himself in an inaudible voice.
"Something's wrong!"
