"Brothers, our family knows the strength of our family. With the results of Tengxiang's four guards, we lost."
Datong Town Archer Commander Chu Xiong's voice was a little low, but before the sergeants could react, his voice suddenly rose a bit.
“But we must not just admit defeat. Since the result is already determined, let’s relax and work hard to shoot every arrow!
We need to see how big the gap is. They are the goals of our future efforts! "
"When you're ready, let's fire freely!"
After the general flag finished speaking, he raised his bow and shot towards an archery target.
Swish...shua...
One arrow, two arrows...
Ten arrows later, the ring number was sixty-nine, which was actually better than usual.
With the encouragement of the general flag, all the sergeants calmed down and looked much more relaxed.
Less than half an hour later, all fifty-six members of the total flag had finished shooting, with an average number of rings of 5.2.
Chu Xiong looked at Zhao Ju, the general flag of Tengxiang right guard not far away: "General Zhao Qi, we lost, but we will target you and train hard. We look forward to one day when we can compete again!"
"good!"
Zhao Ju nodded. At this moment, his view of the general banner of Datong Town changed.
Although the border town is rotten, at least there are still people who are unyielding and loyal to the army and serve the country. This is the general banner opposite.
Chu Xiong led his men back to the army formation and looked at General He Jie: "General He, I have lost my humble position!"
"Thank you for your hard work, go back!"
General He Jie's face looked much better.
Although they lost, at least the loss was not that ugly, and the best thing was that they did not give up in the face of the overwhelming advantage.
If he really gave up directly, he would be completely finished as a general. Even if he was not dismissed, he would become a joke to the entire Datong Town.
Chongzhen saw this scene and said curiously: "General Hei, this general flag is interesting, you can cultivate it.
Knowing shame and then being brave, knowing weakness but trying to be strong, and not giving up in desperate situations, this kind of spirit and mentality is commendable. "
"I will pay attention to this person!"
"Commander Hei, how are your results among the Datong Army?"
Hei Yunlong cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the military system and organization of Datong Town, except for firearms and vehicle camps,
Among the regular infantry, in each centurion, there are ten gunmen, twenty crossbowmen, thirty swordsmen, and forty spearmen.
If calculated according to this calculation, there are three to four thousand crossbowmen in Datong Town.
Their results are much worse than Tengxiang Right Guard's nearly eight rings, but they are definitely top-notch among Datong Town Gongnu. "
It sounds ridiculous, but it is true. After all, Jiubian has been corrupted for a long time, and it is already a very good result to achieve this.
Commander Zhou, we lost the first game of bows and arrows, so let’s start the second game of firecrackers.
"OK!"
"Our Datong Town Firearms Soldiers normally use three-eyed fireguns. In this competition, are the fireguns unified, or are each of them specializing in them?"
"What a coincidence, we are also three-eyed fire guns!"
Zhou Yuji was stunned for a moment when he heard the three-eyed fire gun, and then laughed again.
"Are you also a three-eyed fire gun? You didn't lie to me!"
"It's really a three-eyed gun. If you don't believe it, just ask Commander Hei!"
Facing He Jie's doubts, Zhou Yuji smiled and did not explain.
The ultimate goal of the Tengxiang Four Guards is to form a powerful cavalry, and all are currently trained according to the requirements of the cavalry.
The reason why I chose the three-eyed fire gun is mainly for two purposes. One is that it is powerful and has a long distance, which is suitable for attacking when the horse is sprinting. Although it has many shortcomings,
The second is that after finishing the battle, it can be used as a bludgeoning weapon for cavalry. The three-eyed fire gun is swung, and with the blessing of the sprint speed of the war horse, it is powerful.
In addition, when there is no war horse, the accuracy of the three-eyed fire gun is worse than that of the bird gun, but it is better in shooting more.
The idea of Tengxiang's four guards is very simple, which is to suppress the fire with five rows together,
After the first row is finished shooting, go to the back to reload, and the second row is on, taking turns in turn, and the shooting never stops.
Combined with some cannons, it can make up for the lack of range and accuracy, and provide proper fire coverage.
Half an hour later, the fire gun competition ended, and the winners were naturally the Tengxiang Four Guards.
Both the speed of loading ammunition and the accuracy are much weaker.
So far, two of the three games have been lost.
"Sir General, I think this competition is unfair. Teng Xiang Youwei is a pro-soldier, and the person participating in the competition is the most powerful archer among Teng Xiang Youwei. Of course we can't compete!"
Suddenly a voice sounded, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the school grounds began to talk.
"That's right, what's the point of suppressing the ones we randomly selected with the greatest strength!"
"We are not convinced. We do not approve of this competition method!"
"In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, a wave of arrows will come out. It's useless whether it's accurate or not, as long as it can kill the enemy."
"Our border troops don't have enough pay, so how can we have such an opportunity to train firearms? It's unfair!"
"Yes, the four Tengxiang guards are His Majesty's personal troops. They have plenty of money. All kinds of firearms and gunpowder will be provided first. This firearms competition does not count!"
…
The sergeants from Datong Town who participated in the competition had no objections, and the sergeants from Tengxiang Youwei had no objections. On the contrary, the sergeants from Datong Town who were watching the competition had objections.
"Shut up, everyone!"
He Jie shouted sharply, his face turned livid.
Although the reasons mentioned by these sergeants existed objectively, he was a little ashamed of making excuses when he lost.
The commander of Teng Xiang's right guard, Zhou Yuji, said something in a low voice with a smile on his lips, and the messenger behind him immediately passed on the military order.
The flag sergeant who had just finished competing with his fire gun immediately ran back to the square formation, took the long bow from his companion, and stood at the same position where he had just competed.
At the same time, a general flag from the right side of the phalanx ran out, and the target was the archery range where the sergeants of Datong Town had just competed.
Without any nonsense, he still started shooting arrows one by one.
Swish...shua...
In just a quarter of an hour, all the fifty-sixty arrows from the fifty-six men of the two general banners were shot, and the target with a diameter of more than two feet was filled with arrows.
The school grounds were silent and full of shock. This was a slap in the face with practical actions.
Didn't you say that the emperor selected the sergeants with good archery skills from Tengxiang's four guards to torture you?
Now the Fire Gun Sergeant can still fire his arrows without missing a beat.
Your frontier army cannot supply firearms, and you cannot supply arrows for actual combat, but you can always supply bamboo arrows for training.
But the slap in the face was not over. Two more general flags ran out from Teng Xiang's right guard's army, and each stood at two shooting ranges.
Both sides repeated the previous archery action at the same time.
Half a quarter of an hour later, more than ten of the twenty archery targets on both sides were directly shot, and the feathered arrows fell to the ground.
But the sergeant did not stop shooting. The target was gone, and there was still a target stand to support the target.
One after another, the feathered arrows were stuck on the target stand, and they were densely packed like thorn tails, which was extremely spectacular.
It wasn't until the third time that the sergeants of the two general flags shot down the target frames that Tengxiang Youwei stopped his brutal archery action.
Zhou Yuji looked at the Datong Town sergeant and said calmly: "Do you have any other opinions?"
