Chapter 16 Heavy Bow
"bow?"

Xu Bin was originally planning to go home for dinner.

He did not live with his father, but lived in a military settlement near the garrison, and he had a wife at home.

"You come with me."

Xu Bin frowned, looking unhappy.

The two men came to the armory of the garrison, and after explaining things to the clerk in charge of guarding it, they came to the warehouse where bows and arrows were stored.

"You use it for hunting, right?"

Xu Bin said, "Normally, soldiers are not allowed to possess weapons before they are officially assigned to their respective positions. But it just so happens that I don't need a bow and arrow, so there is a vacant position for a flag officer. You can use it first."

He paused and said, "Besides, I'm very busy. If there is nothing important in the future, just go find your superior."

The meaning of the words was very clear. He helped to get the bow and arrow, and the other party should not bother him again.

"Okay, Sanshi will remember Officer Xu's help."

Chen Sanshi is not someone who likes to trouble others.

Just to get promoted, I have to do this shamelessly.

The clerk unlocked the door and pushed open the warehouse.

After giving the instructions, Xu Bin left, letting Chen Sanshi make his own choice.

An entire wall of bows were hung on the wooden boards of the warehouse.

Most of the standard bows and arrows of the Da Sheng army were of two types.

Small bow and large bow.

The Dashao bow is also known as the Kaiyuan bow.

Among them, the pulling force ranges from four forces to two stones.

The clerk in charge of the warehouse said, "Take a bow as heavy as you can draw, and we will give you twenty arrows and a quiver.

“But the heaviest standard bow here is the two-stone bow.

“No matter how heavy the bow is, it’s only used by military officers, and you need to go to the army’s forge to order it yourself.

"But most people don't need it."

He watched Chen Sanshi take down a large bow in the corner and said hurriedly, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? That's the heaviest two-stone bow."

"I want two crossbows."

Chen Sanshi's panel data shows that he can easily fire a stone bow, but it does not mean that he can "only" fire a stone bow.

If he could pull it apart easily, it meant he had much more strength than that.

He estimated that he could pull the second crossbow just about right, but it would be a bit difficult.

However, considering that your strength will continue to increase after practicing martial arts, it is better to get a heavier bow in advance, so as to avoid having to buy a new bow in a few days.

"Two stones?"

The clerk looked up and down at the young man's clothes and it was obvious that he was not a military officer.

He said quickly, "Don't be silly! Let me remind you, there is a shooting range outside. You need to hit the target from 60 steps away before you can take it away."

"no problem."

Chen Sanshi didn't waste any time and went straight to the shooting range outside the warehouse.

He took the bow and arrow in his hand, examining it and getting familiar with the feel.

This bow is the heaviest Kaiyuan bow. It is made of special quality purple bamboo for the frame, mulberry and elm wood for the stem, and ox horn and hardwood for the bowstring. Its structure is much more complicated than that of a recurve bow.

He drew his bow and arrow, and found that after two days of standing meditation, his strength had increased significantly.

Are the effects of practicing martial arts so immediate?
No wonder it consumes so much energy on the human body.

Two stone bows weigh three hundred pounds.

Chen Sanshi gritted his teeth, and used the muscles in his back and arms to exert force together. Veins bulged on his forehead. He put on the arrow and slowly pulled the bowstring.

"Om-"

A heavy voice sounded.

The bow is like thunder and the arrow is like thunder!
"Bam—"

Almost instantly, the arrow hit the target with a loud bang, leaving a big hole in the target that was more than two inches thick, and then fell to the ground in the distance.

"Bullseye?!"

The official hurriedly ran into the shooting range, looked at the hole in the target, and said in shock: "Seventy steps, two crossbows, and a bull's eye?!"

The first time Chen Sanshitou tried the heavy bow, he was shocked by the heavy feeling of the blow.

If this is used to shoot people, I'm afraid even ordinary armor can't block it!
"Are you new here and just starting to learn martial arts?"

The clerk ran back after picking up the arrows and said, "You can already shoot two crossbows before you even start training. Does Xu Bin have such a fellow villager?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "Can I take it now?"

"Ok, Ok."

The official nodded and said, "Come here, I'll give you another twenty arrows.

"Let me make it clear to you first. Damage caused during non-wartime must be compensated. Each arrow costs fifty cents, so use them sparingly." A heavy bow naturally requires heavy arrows.

The price will also be more expensive than ordinary arrows.

As soon as Chen Sanshi shot the arrow just now, he clearly felt the improvement in his proficiency.

[Skill: Archery (Proficiency)]

[Progress: (230/500)]

[Effect: Born with the physique of an archer, can easily draw a stone bow, within 70 steps, shoot three times with a flick of the finger and hit the target every time]

Combined with the accumulation from hunting in the previous few days, his proficiency was nearly half.

With the heavy bow, it shouldn't take too long to advance to the next stage.

"So hungry!"

Chen Sanshi had consumed too much energy in the past half day, so a piece of cake was of no use to him. He simply went home carrying his bow and arrow.

The military discipline of the garrison was lax.

In addition, the soldiers lived in the military village nearby, so they could go home at any time after reporting in every day.

Chen Sanshi currently doesn’t even have a staff position, and no one is willing to take care of him.

When he was about to reach Yanbian Village, his outfit of blue armor and red hat attracted the attention of the villagers.

"Why did I not see you for the past two days? It turns out you have been a soldier."

"You know what, when Little Stone wears this, he really looks like the real thing."

"It's impressive, but I think it won't last long."

"You bastard, you deserve to die!"

"Oh, you don't believe it? Just wait and see!"

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Sanshi stopped and walked up to a middle-aged man with bald spots and ringworm on his head, and said, "Uncle Laizi, what do you mean by this?"

The bald-headed man looked around and then lowered his voice: "I heard from Ergou and the others that brother Qin Xiong is going to chop you to death."

"Qin Feng?"

Or did he come to my door?

Chen Sanshi was not surprised at all, nor was he afraid.

I have military household status, and the other party would never hurt anyone without any evidence.

Not to mention that there is constant war nowadays.

The status of military households is completely different in peacetime and wartime.

Harming military households without any reason is tantamount to making things difficult for the imperial court.

Besides, Qin Feng is not a person of high position or power, otherwise his brother wouldn't have to spend all day trying to raise money to support him to learn martial arts, and at most he would resort to tricks behind his back.

"Thank you, Uncle Laizi, for the reminder."

Chen Sanshi took a step forward and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw several ruffians under Qin Xiong running away to report the news.

……

"Second brother!"

"Chen Sanshi has returned to the village, but..."

Tianyuan Martial Arts School.

Qin Feng put away the long sword in his hand, looked sideways and said coldly: "But what?"

"He was dressed in a soldier's uniform."

The ruffian said, "I asked around, and it seems he went to join the army these past two days. He's wearing that leather suit, so is it not easy for us to attack him directly?"

"..."

Qin Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath to suppress his irritability.

He found out that the hunter named Chen was the only one who had the power and could cause his brother's disappearance.

I had planned to cut off the man's arm and force him to tell me where his brother was, but...

"I never thought I would become a military household."

The Great Sheng court was in the midst of constant war. He was just a disciple of a martial arts school, and chopping soldiers in the street was simply courting death.

"No, we can't let him practice martial arts!"

Qin Feng suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "This kid used to be a scholar who had never done any housework, but now he has a bow and arrow and can make a living. His physical condition is not bad.

"If he really becomes a soldier and becomes a big shot in the future, wouldn't that just add to my troubles?

"We can't let him get away with it. Absolutely not."
