"Transition between offense and defense, back to back, sword to front, don't be distracted by looking around."
On the training ground, following the voice of Old Soldier Yu, one boy after another quickly changed positions, three or five of them pressed against each other's backs, looking straight ahead.
Bai Yan performed the movements seriously, and he could see that General Yu was honing their cooperation.
In Lantian City, after hearing that General Yu knew that he wanted to win the "first to ascend". Bai Yan knew that General Yu was definitely not simple, far from being as ordinary as he had imagined.
Practice cooperation for half an hour, slashing with the Qin sword for half an hour, and long sword for half an hour.
Finally came the crossbow.
It sounds like the crossbow is the least strenuous. It does not require constant movement when practicing and coordinating, and there is no need to use force to hold the Qin sword or Chang Ge and swing it. But the fact is that crossbows are the most strenuous and tiring work.
Bows and crossbows are essentially the same, but they are also very different. How far you can shoot with a bow and an arrow depends on the continuous burst of power in your arm. The crossbow is much simpler. It only requires an instantaneous effort to pull the bow string to the crossbow machine (teeth).
But when Bai Yan really moved the bow string with all his strength, he realized why everyone said that the Qin crossbow and the Han bow had the longest range.
"It's so heavy!"
"hiss!"
On the training ground, one boy or another struggled to pull the bow string.
Although it is much simpler to step lightly on the crossbow with your feet. But it was still quite difficult for them to pull the bow string to the crossbow machine.
Not to mention that it was not a battlefield but a training ground, so the young man did not dare to damage the precious crossbow in his hand.
Bai Yan also spent a lot of effort to put the bow string on the crossbow machine. Then he raised his crossbow and used the 'Wangshan' button on it to aim into the distance.
If he had placed the arrow on the crossbow before, now Bai Yan could gently press the 'box' in his hand, and the arrow would fly out.
Although there were no arrows, Bai Yan knew that Qin's arrows were all of the same size, regardless of size or barb, and the deviations could not be seen with the naked eye. This is why when people from other countries mention Qin Nu, their expressions change.
"But still remember what I told you, one hundred and fifty steps!"
Old soldier Yu looked at everyone raising their crossbows and said.
Bai Yan looked at the crossbow in his hand, and there were indeed small scratches on the 'Wangshan' on it.
Bai Yan turned around and saw that the other teenagers seemed to be raising their crossbows to a certain distance. As General Yu walked, he looked at the arm of a young boy holding a crossbow. If he raised it lower, he would let it go. Raise it a little higher.
"So that's it!"
Bai Yan finally understood how newly recruited soldiers trained crossbows and how they could skillfully use crossbows without making mistakes on the battlefield in the future.
It turns out that it all depends on the experience of the general.
This method does work. A soldier who has just joined the army, as long as he follows an experienced general and trains the soldiers to use bows and crossbows in this way, after half a year, he will be far better than the new soldiers of other countries.
Looking at the crossbow in his hand.
Bai Yan felt it was a pity that he couldn't shoot more than a dozen arrows for ten days and a half. Maybe he had a better way and slightly improved the crossbow.
But even if it was really feasible, Bai Yan wouldn't dare to say it easily.
If others knew that a new recruit had such abilities, Bai Yan would know what the consequences would be.
He didn't want to be caught working as an overseer, with a small salary, for the rest of his life.
"Raise it higher!"
Old soldier Yu came to Bai Yan.
Hearing this, Bai Yan raised his arm slightly again, and Old Man Yu nodded.
"Remember, this is one hundred and fifty steps!"
Yu Laozu said to Bai Yan, asking Bai Yan to remember the current posture and the height of raising the crossbow.
As for whether it would go astray, Yu Laozu was not worried. He believed that the boy surnamed Bai was not so blind that he could not see 'Wangshan'.
Bai Yan nodded, knowing that this was Yu Laozu's experience.
The next step is to pull the hanging knife. What Bai Yan didn't expect was that the strength required to pull the box was much greater than expected. Even after pulling the box, the crossbow had already shaken a few times.
This situation is not limited to Bai Yan, other teenagers are also like this, and some are even more unbearable.
"Come again!"
When Old Soldier Yu saw this scene, he continued expressionlessly.
A full half hour.
I have been spending my whole life in a bow-drawing box.
When the practice was over, each boy rubbed his fingers.
But fortunately, although crossbows are tiring, for young people, they are their favorite weapons.
When I think about being on the battlefield in the future, I can hold a crossbow and shoot arrows from a hundred steps away to kill the enemy.
A young man couldn't help but get excited when he thought about it, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at the crossbow in his hand.
But no matter how much you like it, there is a time to return it.
"I don't know when I can shoot some arrows!"
"No! I think I'll give it a try."
On the training ground, a young man's eyes were filled with reluctance as he watched the crossbow being returned, and he had to wait another ten days before he had a chance to touch the crossbow.
"Yan, do you also like crossbows?"
Gui put the crossbow back on the wooden trailer, reluctantly turned around in three steps, and finally came to Bai Yan's side.
"Quite like!"
Bai Yan said with a smile.
Almost most men could not refuse a bow or a crossbow, and he was certainly no exception.
At this time, there was a sudden argument. Guiwen passed by and saw Liang Lang arguing with others again in the distance.
"Yan, what you said by Liang Lang is true? Is there really a Yin Monument in the world? That swordsman is as strong as Nie Zheng."
Gui looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.
Last night Gui was very doubtful whether there were really such strong swordsmen in the world.
But now I see Liang Lang tirelessly arguing with others whenever he has free time, saying that he didn't even tell a lie last night. Gui had a little doubt whether it was true.
"Yin Bei?"
Bai Yan, who had just taken off his armor, heard this and looked over.
Then he saw the burly young man named Liang Lang in the distance, red-faced and panting, arguing with others. It seemed that he would not give up if others did not believe him.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Bai Yan's face was a little strange and fleeting.
"I don't know either."
Bai Yan said to Gui, "Let's go back first!"
Bai Yan picked up his Qin sword on the ground and prepared to return to his tent.
"okay!"
Gui nodded.
At this time.
Suddenly there was the sound of thundering iron hooves in the distance.
Boom boom boom~! ! !
Bai Yan and Gui heard the sound of iron hoofs that filled the sky, like thousands of troops and horses, and they rushed away one after another.
"My father was..."
Liang Lang, who was still arguing with others, suddenly heard the sound of the cavalry army before he finished speaking.
At this moment, Liang Lang and the other teenagers stopped talking and stood there, looking in the direction of the main entrance of the camp.
At this moment, a thought appeared in all of their minds.
This is.
The cavalry army! !
In the camp, Old Soldier Yu had just taken out the wine, but before he had a chance to taste it, he suddenly heard a familiar roar.
Old Soldier Yu sighed melancholy and looked towards the direction from which the sound came, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Two years!"
