    Flat shooting is a step shooting. You stand still and shoot. The bow used is a strong bow with a force of more than one stone, that is, the bow power is about 120 kilograms. The arrow weighs six qian, which is about 18 grams of medium weight. The target distance is  It is one hundred and five steps and is placed on the battlements. The target is thirty feet high, which is about ten meters, which is about the same height as the city wall. The main focus is on the archers' shooting of enemy soldiers on the city wall during the siege.  ability.

    There is another important point in flat shooting, that is, the examiner needs to see whether the trajectory of the arrow is straight when the candidate shoots the arrow. If the arrow is straighter, it means that the archer is more powerful. This is the reason why the arrow is more powerful when the number of targets is the same.  A straight shot can win. A direct shot is not as far away as a projectile, but the power of a direct shot is greater. For clearing the enemy on the battlements at a fixed point, the accuracy is better than the projectile, and the lethality is also greater.

    "Jingyuan, are you kidding? This is an archery competition, not a stone-throwing competition. You don't have any archery skills, do you?" Zhai Tanzhuan asked in surprise.

    "What Brother Zhai said is that there is nothing I can do about it. I have learned bow and arrow, but after shooting twice I only saw arrows shot out, but I couldn't see the arrows on the target sign, so I gave up. But I can't throw stones."  It's OK, you can say it's a hundred-step shot with a hundred hits, and it's not this kind of target card, it's a circle the size of a fist drawn in the internal rules," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

    "What? You can throw rocks so accurately? You're talking about a close range target, right? What kind of rocks did you use?" Zhai Tanzhan was even more surprised.

    "It's just ordinary pebbles," Qin Xuan said with a smile. He took out a goose egg-sized pebble from a bag hanging on the saddle and handed it to Zhai Tanzhuan. The stone was not big, but very round. As long as it was thrown hard, it would hit someone's head.  , that is absolutely fatal. The power of this acceleration is not comparable to the weight of the stone itself. If it hits a person, he will be seriously injured even if he is not dead. He cannot escape with broken bones.

    "Can you throw this stone a hundred steps away?" Zhai Tanzhuan asked in surprise.

    "Yes"

    Qin Xuan smiled and replied, you must know that in the previous life, someone who could throw a military grenade sixty meters away was considered an expert. It is said that the farthest bomb throwing distance is about eighty meters. It can be seen that even if you throw a stone, it will not be in the shape of a flying saucer.  It is very difficult to throw a stone a hundred meters away, and it must also ensure its lethality. This is also a combination of strength and technology. Zhai Tanzhuan was a little skeptical about this skill and said that he would have to wait and see before he could confirm whether it was the stone.  real.

    When the competition started, Qin Xuan was shocked at first. It was just a soldier carrying an archery target. When he inserted the archery target on the mound of the fake city wall about three feet high, he was really shocked by the huge archery target.  This is the largest archery target he has ever seen. Looking at it from a hundred steps away, it looks like a city gate. It is not as big as the entire city gate, but at least half of it.

    "Brother Zhai, this is the archery target. How big is it?" Qin Xuan asked in surprise.

    "That's right, this is the target sign. The inner gauge is six feet wide, and the other four gauges are each three feet wide. Thirty arrows are fired. As long as they don't leave the third courtyard, they can get the shot. How about it? Are you sure about it?"

    Qin Xuan understood what Zhai Tan said. The general meaning of inner circle is the inner circle, which is the bullseye. The diameter of the bullseye is six feet, which is about two meters. The second circle increases by one meter, which is three meters, that is to say  The diameter of the fifth circle was six meters. Only then did he realize that the target cards his wife used when teaching him to learn archery were more similar to this one than that one. From a distance of one hundred and five steps, as long as thirty arrows would not hit the third  If you make a circle, you can become a martial artist in the horizontal shooting department. Of course, the farther the distance, the more accurate the shot, and the greater the possibility of getting the first place in the horizontal shooting.

    Qin Xuan began to regret why he didn't learn archery from Yuanyuan. However, at a distance of more than a hundred steps, the target was very large, but if he wanted to shoot all thirty arrows within three circles, it was not that difficult.  , it¡¯s like asking you to lift a weight of more than 100 kilograms thirty times in a row. Do you think it¡¯s still easy?  This is a great test of strength, endurance and accuracy.

    For the compound bows used in the Olympic Games in later generations, men used bows with a draw weight of thirty to fifty pounds, which is fourteen to thirty kilograms. However, the draw weight of the bows of this era was one stone. If converted, it would be fifty or sixty.  Kilogram, even our Olympic athletes may not be able to draw such a bow and arrow. Even if it is barely drawn, can you shoot thirty arrows in a row?  I guess it won¡¯t be enough to pull you until you lose strength thirty times.

    At this time, there were three people standing on the field preparing for the assessment. The first one stood in front of the one hundred and five-step white line, and the second one stood ten steps away from the white line. This person was very strong.  , Under the thin Hu clothes, when he tried to pull the bow, he could see the thick arms and bulging muscles. He was not tall, about more than five feet, almost 1.7 meters, with a strong back and a strong waist.  A power player.

    "Brother Zhai, does the distance give you extra points?" Qin Xuan asked.

    "Of course, if you shoot an arrow at a distance"After more than 150 steps, thirty arrows can't leave the third courtyard. The farther away wins," Zhai Tanzhuan said with a smile.

    "Why waste so much energy? As long as you pass this subject, you will have to take the martial arts assessment later," Qin Xuan said.

    "You just don't understand. There is a big difference between getting first place in the level shooting department and getting first place. If you get first place, it will be recorded by the Ministry of War. In the future, your official rank will be better than that of ordinary people. This is completely  When you show your ability, you must not hide your strength, and you may not be able to complete the flat shot this morning. Some people have time to recover their physical strength. Getting the first place in the flat shot will play a big role in the evaluation of Wu champion," said Zhai Tanzhuan.

    Only then did Qin Xuan understand that the reason why this assessment is divided into two subjects, the horizontal shooting and the martial arts examination, is selective. You can not take the horizontal shooting subject and directly take the martial arts examination. If you pass, you can pass, or you can do both subjects.  Participate. If you get first in both subjects, then you must be the number one scholar in martial arts. If you only take the assessment of the martial arts examination, the number one scholar in martial arts may have nothing to do with you. At most, it is just a title on the gold list.

    Those who come to participate in the martial arts examinations basically apply for two subjects. Unless they have limited strength and cannot pull a stone bow, or are unable to complete the amount of thirty arrows, they will choose to only participate in the assessment of the martial arts examinations.  , as a warrior, it is necessary to be proficient in bow and horse. However, there are many people who know how to bow and arrow, and there are few masters. A super master like Pendulum Yang is a phoenix feather water chestnut.

    The training of an excellent archer is not just a day or two. It requires years of training and talent. It does not just require hard training. For example, for people of the same height, the one with a longer arm span will be better than the one with a shorter arm span.  The other advantage is the eyes. Those who are short-sighted or have eye diseases cannot do this in the bow and arrow industry. Archery requires good eyesight and a calm psychological quality. Strong strength, long endurance, good eyesight, and calmness are all factors in archery.  Necessary conditions for masters.

    ¡°Bang bang bang bang¡­¡±

    The sound of bowstrings came from the examination room. Every time a target was hit, the onlookers cheered. Qin Xuan found that none of the three contestants chose to shoot. They all shot in parallel and straight lines. This requires very demanding strength.  A good shooter knows that a flat shot is more lethal to the enemy than a projectile, and uses greater force because the target is higher. In fact, shooting from low to high is almost the same as projectile.

    "Yes, these three people have all won. Brother Zhai, if these three people are all within a hundred and fifteen steps and have passed, how can we distinguish the rankings?" Qin Xuan asked.

    "This is like this. It can make the arrows shoot straight. Five out of ten arrows can hit the inner circle. The remaining five arrows can hit the inner circle. The remaining five arrows will be ranked higher if they hit the inner circle. Of course, the more arrows that hit the inner circle, the higher they will be.  But it must be that other arrows cannot shoot out of the three rules, and there is also the distance. The farther the arrow is, the four types are ten, the sixth is the second, and so on. According to this standard, the top three in the level shooting department are evaluated." Written by Zhai Tan  said.

    Thirty arrows, the farther the shooting distance is from the target, all thirty arrows are shot within three circles. The one who hits more inner circles is the top scorer in the flat shooting department. Although the target is large, the number of arrows fired reaches thirty.  The further back you go, the more energy you use up, and the easier it is to miss. Even if your first twenty-nine arrows are all within the inner circle, and the last arrow is not within three circles, this is considered a failure and there is no hope of passing.

    "Alas" There was a lot of sighs in the audience. Qin Xuan saw a shooter retreat directly. It seemed that one arrow missed. This is the game. If one misses the target, then he can't.  At the end of the day, it is a waste of energy to continue shooting. At this time, fifteen arrows have been shot. The further you go, the greater the chance of making mistakes as your energy is consumed.

    "It's a pity for this man. His archery skills are good, but he may be weak. The number of internal arrows in the first fifteen arrows is more than the other two. He is suitable for participating in the martial arts examination," Zhai Tanzhuan said regretfully.

    "Haha, this is normal. If it was so easy to pass, it wouldn't be called the martial arts examination. After all, there are only a few people who can pass. It's the same as the imperial examination for scholars. If you can be named on the gold list, you are lucky."

    As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, another archer made a mistake and retreated. The only archer left on the field was the archer standing 115 steps away. At this time, he had already shot twenty-three arrows, but this one had a strong back and a strong back.  The archer was already struggling to draw the bow, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His strength could no longer keep up.

    "Alasit's a pity that this one also missed the target and hit Sigui," Qin Xuan said with a sigh.

    "Huh? How can you see so clearly? It seems to me that the arrow is on the three-point circle, so it is considered qualified," said Zhai Tanzhuan.

    "Brother Zhai made a mistake. He was very close to the third line, but he shot at the fourth line," Qin Xuan said.

    Sure enough, someone on the examiner's side asked to stop shooting. It was an invigilator holding a telescope. Soon the target-watching soldier hiding behind the mound came out, looked at the position of the arrow, took out a white flag and waved it.  This meant that he had failed. The archer still didn't believe it, so he quickly ran to the target to watch, and then left the examination room disappointed.

    "Jingyuan has good eyesight. It's a pity that you don't learn archery with your eyesight," Zhai Tanzhuan said.After looking at the position of the arrow, he took out a white flag and waved it, which meant failure. The archer still didn't believe it, so he quickly ran to the target to watch, and then left the examination room disappointed.

    "Jingyuan has good eyesight. It's a pity that you don't learn archery with your eyesight," Zhai Tanzhuan said.
