Start practicing archery

Chapter 65 Sun Buqi

Chen Sanshi looked at the panel's explanation of "backbone" and quickly understood the effect of the term.

Unflappable.

Just four simple words, looking ordinary.

In fact.

If all armies in the world want to become a powerful army, the first qualities they must possess are these four words!
Chen Sanshi understood this when he read military books.

What’s the use of an army having luxurious equipment if it trembles when it sees the enemy?

There are also military formations.

No matter how exquisite the military formation is during daily training, it will never be able to exert its due power if it cannot remain calm in times of crisis.

Most ancient armies would be defeated if the casualty rate exceeded 20%.

Chen Sanshi heard from Xu Wencai that the reason why the Eight Battalions were invincible was because they were able to not collapse even when half of them were killed or wounded, and not to make the formation chaotic in desperate situations.

Half of the casualties did not lead to defeat. What a terrifying statistic!

In the 57th year of Longqing's reign, during the Battle of Xuanwuying in the south, it is said that they had the opportunity to retreat, but they chose to face the challenge head-on and fight to the death until the last soldier.

Of course there were people who survived, but since it was recorded like this, it means that at least 90% of them died in the battle.

They must have their own beliefs in their hearts.

The fact that Chen Sanshi can serve as the backbone of the soldiers means that an elite division will be built sooner or later.

The prefect named Ji was causing trouble for him.

Isn't it because he is easy to bully?
One aspect is one thing, and another is having no power.

He doesn't need too many. Even if he has a thousand loyal men under his command, who would dare to provoke him easily?

After the morning training, Chen Sanshi went to the shooting range to practice archery.

While focusing on martial arts, he tried his best to master every skill.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The fifteen-stone bow made a loud noise every time an arrow hit the target, and the targets made of straw ropes fell down one after another.

[Skill: Archery (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: (205/1000)]

It is worth noting that although his proficiency level has not improved, his archery skills have not stopped improving.

Now, Chen Sanshi can already shoot arrows through willow trees within 150 steps.

One hundred and fifty steps, nearly two hundred meters of accurate shooting range, is many times stronger than an ordinary pistol.

"Chirp—"

A loud roar was heard overhead, and two eagles flew over the shooting range.

Chen Sanshi just used it to practice and make some money from selling it.

Two eagles can be sold for a few taels of silver.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!
The more you practice martial arts, the more energy you consume, but he doesn't mind.

Chen Sanshi stared at the sky, waiting for the two eagles to reach the right height and angle, and then a three-edged armor-piercing arrow broke through the air, killing two birds with one stone without a doubt!
"Chirp—"

Accompanied by mournful cries, two eagles fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Just as Chen Sanshi was about to pick up the prey, he saw a young man of similar age running towards him with an incredible look on his face.

He had a photographic memory and was sure that this person was not in the military camp and was a stranger.

"Brother, how did you do this?"

The young man also held a bow and arrow in his hand. He imitated the action of drawing the bow and said, "Just now, these two eagles were at least forty feet above the ground. How did you do that?"

Chen Sanshi was puzzled: "How did you do that?"

"I mean, how do you shoot so well?"

The young man was very excited: "How heavy is your bow, ten or fifteen stones? Can you lend it to me to shoot an arrow?"

"Sorry, I'm a little busy."

Chen Sanshi told the truth.

He has so many things to do and so many things to do.

If you have time, I don't mind chatting more.

"One hundred taels!"

The young man suddenly made an offer, his tone sincere: "My dear brother, if you are willing to be my archery master, I am willing to pay you two hundred taels of silver every month!"

"How many?"

Chen Sanshi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Brother, do you think it's too little? Two hundred taels! No more. This trip is in a hurry and I am really short of money."

Two hundred taels, short of money?

Chen Sanshi looked the boy up and down.

The other party had a lot of valuable accessories on him, such as a belt and jade pendants. The bow and arrow in his hand were also intricately carved and made of the finest materials.

Where did this young master come from?
No matter where he comes from, even if he is the son of Magistrate Ji, the money delivered to the door should not be rejected! "Okay."

Chen Sanshi agreed: "Come to the martial arts arena tomorrow and I will teach you."

The boy was very happy: "Okay, Master!"

"You don't have to call me Master."

Chen Sanshi was speechless. This was too casual a call.

He waved his hand and left.

"The small Poyang Qianhu Suo actually has such a fierce general!"

Sun Buqi kept replaying the scene in his mind.

A large bow with a weight of more than ten stones can be used to shoot birds at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps.

For a bone-training warrior, wouldn’t it be possible to kill one with one arrow?
It's a great deal to learn this skill with two hundred taels of silver!
What kind of gun training are you doing?

"One hundred and fifty steps."

Sun Buqi raised his bow and arrow and followed suit.

There was no target at a hundred and fifty steps on the shooting range. The farthest one was a hundred and twenty steps, and he could hardly see the center of the bull's eye.

"A strange man, what a strange man!"

As he was sighing, he was suddenly hit hard on the back of his head.

"Sun Buqi!"

Sun Li held the scabbard and said, "What are you doing here? Have you checked everything I asked you to check?"

"Sister, could you please stop hitting me on the head?"

Sun Buqi said seriously: "Don't worry, we have checked everything.

“One is Chen Sanshi.

"This person's family background is clean, and he did not lie about the time he joined the army. He has been training for more than two months.

“He played an indispensable role in the Song family extermination case.

“It seems that the people from Tailei Martial Arts School bullied his former fellow villagers, and he couldn’t stand it, so he killed a group of martial arts school disciples in the street.

"He is very courageous, and he never forgets his roots. After becoming an official, he is still willing to help his fellow villagers. Dad will definitely like such a person."

"Ah."

Sun Li agreed with this.

After spending a few days together, I found that my junior brother is very good.

He practices martial arts diligently and is a kind person.

The only fly in the ointment...

I just have too much energy and I have to toss and turn every night.

But since he's young, it makes sense.

At this point, the investigation into Chen Sanshi's selection of forwards has come to an end.

Sun Li asked again: "What about the Wushen Cult?"

"We couldn't find it in or outside the city."

Sun Buqi touched his chin and asked, "Maybe he has already fled back to the grassland?"

"If you can't find it in the city or outside the city, look for it in the mountains."

Sun Li made a quick decision: "If we still can't find him in the mountains, we can look for him at the officials' homes, the martial arts schools, including Xiang Tingchun."

"Isn't it?"

Sun Buqi said anxiously, "The more I check, the weirder it seems. Dad asked two of us to come here to practice bone training. Isn't that enough?"

"Now you think your realm is too low, why didn't you practice earlier?"

Sun Li looked solemn: "Dad has his reasons for making such an arrangement, let's just do it. I will go up the mountain with you in the afternoon."

"Sister, I don't need to practice anymore!"

Sun Buqi's eyes sparkled, and he said confidently, "I just became a disciple of a strange man. If I can learn from him, I can kill a bone-training warrior with just a snap of my fingers!

"Hey, hey, hey, sister, don't go. I'm serious! Only two hundred taels a month!"

……

"Doctor Jiang, prepare two doses of bone nourishing soup for me."

Outside the pharmacy, Chen Sanshi said, "By the way, prepare a medicinal bath for me as well."

"A medicinal bath will cost one hundred taels."

Doctor Jiang teased, "You are so generous, have you killed another strange beast?"

"No, I met a rich young master."

Chen Sanshi chatted idly and took out fifty taels of silver.

After drinking this bowl of bone-nourishing soup, you will have a breakthrough.
