Chapter 42 The Way of Bow

As soon as Xu Jinghong said this, the soldiers were stunned, and immediately everyone laughed, with some sarcastic laughter. And the teenager who followed Wang Junqing whispered, "In this way, we dare to work with our scout camp. We don't know anyone who can shoot arrows!"

"Rea sea, don't be rude!" Wang Junqing in front of him frowned and whispered that the teenager was his son Wang Liehai.

"Yes!" Wang Liehai did not dare to argue and responded in a low voice, but from his expression, it was obviously disapproving.

Xu Jinghong didn't pay attention to this. He smiled and said, "It's only been a few months in the army. I've always been busy training the team, and I really don't have time to practice shooting. Listening to everyone's meaning, it seems that I am quite proficient in this. I don't know if you can teach me one or two, so that I won't humiliate the scout camp.

Seeing that Xu Jinghong was so generous and said frankly that everyone wanted everyone to teach him, the ridicule on their faces also restrained. Most of the soldiers are straightforward men, and the ones they despise most are those who pretend not to understand, but they are still acceptable to those who humbly ask for advice. Wang Junqing also showed admiration. From Xu Jinghong's words, it can be seen that he is a man. At least he has the courage to face his shortcomings, which is rare for ordinary people.

"Since I'm just on the road, I'll teach you some ways to use bows when I find those barbarians." Wang Junqing took over Xu Jinghong's request because of his appreciation, which made many scouts envious, because they all knew that Wang Junqing's archery was extremely good. If he got his guidance, he would definitely benefit Xu Jinghong a lot.

"Thank you so much, General Wang, but I don't know if I can try it now?" Xu Jinghong was also a little eager to try. He has seen the strength of archers against the enemy. On that day, because of archers, those barbarians will be suppressed at the beginning, so he also wants to have the magic shooting skill of penetrating Yang in a hundred steps, and he is also confident that he can achieve it.

"Yes, you can try it. Anyway, there are many small beasts running around here, just shoot them." Wang Junqing nodded.

Xu Jinghong suddenly said, "General Wang, can I borrow your bow? I'm not equipped with a bow and arrow."

"Hmm?" Wang Junqing was stunned at first, but still took the short bow placed on the horse's side to Xu Jinghong, but there was a strange look on his face. Other soldiers were surprised to see that Xu Jinghong actually shot Wang Junqing's bow. However, when they saw that they had not spoken, they did not dare to say much. Even Wang Liehai just laughed behind and waited to see Xu Jinghong make a fool of himself in public.

Xu Jinghong did not know that as the general of the scout camp, Wang Junqing's bow ability was a rare opponent in the whole southwest. And the reason why he is so strong is that in addition to shooting accurately, it also has something to do with his bow, which is a three-stone bow. At this time, one stone is equivalent to about 120 catties of future generations, and three stones are about 360 catties. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to open the strong bow of 360 catties with two hands and aim. However, Wang Junqing was able to open his bow left and right, shooting ten arrows without changing his face, which established his position as the first archery in the Southwest Army.

It is impossible for Xu Jinghong to know all this. He just wants to try how difficult this bow is to use. Although he also shot several arrows in the Yunzhou barracks, it was all a momentary game behavior, which was inaccurate, so it can be said that this was Xu Jinghong's first bow in the true sense.

The left hand held the bow, and Xu Jinghong's right hand has taken over Wang Junqing and handed over a feather arrow. After putting the arrow on strangely, he began to pull up the bowstring hard. Unexpectedly, the bowstring was so tight. When Xu Jinghong used 30% force to pull it, it did not move at all, which surprised him. You know, he is also a person with a lot of power now.

The soldiers over there stared at Xu Jinghong's movements one by one. Seeing his strange technique and the fact that he couldn't pull the bow, everyone couldn't help laughing kindly. In fact, everyone is still psychologically prepared for Xu Jinghong's failure to pull the bow. This is the horse bow of Sanshi. Even standing on the ground may not be able to pull it away easily, not to mention that the body can't really borrow power immediately. Now in the army, there should be only a hundred people who can drive the three stone bow, and soon, this number will be reduced by half. May I ask if a person who is younger than himself and has never used a bow can do it?

Just when everyone was sure that Xu Jinghong had no choice but to give up this time, something surprising happened. Xu Jinghong's left arm did not move, but his right hand had slowly pulled the bow string away. And it was not half open, but with his hand pulling back, and the whole bow was full by him. Now, the soldiers have changed their faces. It turns out that this boy's arms also have thousands of pounds of power. You should know that although the bow has only three stones, the power required to pull the bow immediately is much greater than the bow itself, so the arms of pulling apart the three-stone horse bow also have the power of one thousand and eight hundred pounds.

But this is just the beginning, and the things that surprise everyone are yet to come. After Xu Jinghong pulled the bow full, he did not shoot it out, but opened the bow like this and began to find his target in the left. Now even Wang Junqing changed color. This is a three-stone strong bow. Many people can't even pull it, but Xu Jinghong can still support the search for the target after pulling it. How much strength and stability does it take to do this?

Everyone looked at Xu Jinghong with monster-like eyes, both because of his strength and because of his weird behavior. Who has ever seen the bow full of strings and arrows open like this without shooting arrows? This is not a joke. If the power can't be strained, the rebound force of the bow string is likely to hurt the archer himself.

But they didn't know that Xu Jinghong did this completely into a misunderstanding. He used his bow as a gun for later generations. Xu Jinghong was among the top shooters when he was in the police academy. It was precisely because of this ability that Xu Jinghong had such confidence when it came to bow. Later generations can slowly find the target after being loaded with guns and bullets. This habit made Xu Jinghong also keep it on this bow, which made him make such an amazing move.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Xu Jinghong finally found his goal, a hare running three or four feet away. Without hesitation, he shot an arrow according to the principle of shooting three points and one line in later generations.

"Wo!" The arrow shot out like lightning, but even the rabbit's hair shot from its side without touching half of it. Because this is a three-stone strong bow, the power of the arrow is so great that it disappears at once. The rabbit was shocked and hurried aside, but somehow it did not escape into the forest, but still stayed a few feet in front of it, as if it was demonstrating to a human who could not shoot itself.

This time, no one laughed at Xu Jinghong. Although he could not hit the target, it was enough for everyone to admire that he could open the three-stone strong bow and stay still for so long. Even Wang Junqing couldn't help shouting in his heart. Even he himself could not have pulled the bow for so long like Xu Jinghong.

Xu Jinghong was not discouraged by the failure of this arrow. He stretched out his hand back and actually asked Wang Junqing for an arrow. Wang Junqing was also stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect that he could come back after shooting an arrow like this, but he still took an arrow for him.

This time, Xu Jinghong pulled the bow much more skillfully and quickly than before. He filled the bow at once, and then quickly found the rabbit just now and shot out again. Unfortunately, he was still a little short and flew out of it, which made Xu Jinghong couldn't help frowning. He had been fully integrated into the hunting action, so he reached back and spread it back, and another arrow hit his hand.

At the same time, Wang Junqing's voice also sounded: "Your hands are stable enough and fast enough to take action, but there are still some problems at this angle. This arrow will fly out but will fall, not a straight line you think. After all, he saw Xu Jinghong's problem at a glance and reminded him.

Xu Jinghong said softly and understood what was wrong. Naturally, there is something wrong with him shooting arrows. Because of speed and other reasons, there is still a difference between arrows and bullets. At this speed and distance, only a slight omission may deviate a lot.

After such a reminder, Xu Jinghong had his own idea. In fact, this archery is very close to the principle of using a sniper rifle. The wind speed and the shooter's own factors are very important, and this arrow is based on the principle of parabola, so this must also be calculated in it!

With this series of ideas, Xu Jinghong's third arrow is slightly different from the aiming of the first two arrows. At the angle, he adjusted slightly, and his eyes were no longer just staring at the target, but repositioning according to the wind speed and the direction of the arrow he had just seen. Soon he was fully prepared.

The rabbit was not shot twice, and the courage seemed to be greater. Unexpectedly, he stayed there in a stunned manner without any intention of escaping, which gave Xu Jinghong a chance to shoot another sharp arrow at him.

After everything had satisfied him, Xu Jinghong's right hand suddenly let go. The arrow went like a meteor and brushed the ground. The hare, which had escaped the disaster twice, finally failed to have such good luck for the third time. It was shot by Xu Jinghong with an arrow. This is not a sharp arrow shot by a strong bow with three stones. Laughing, he not only penetrated the rabbit's body and nailed it to the ground, but also shattered its organs and body, bleeding all over the ground.

"Okay!" Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help cheering. Although anyone who hit the rabbit from a few feet away could do it, everyone still had to cheer him when they thought of Xu Jinghong's strange technique and amazing arm strength. Even Wang Junqing gave a thumbs up to Xu Jinghong and said, "Amazing!"

Xu Jinghong hurriedly said, "It's just a coincidence. It's not accurate. Everyone praises it too much!"

"No, I can see that you have experienced the samadhi of archery. It is not difficult to achieve something in arrows over time, or even surpass all of us." Wang Junqing said sincerely.

Hearing Wang Junqing's words behind him, Xu Jinghong remembered his behavior just now. He turned around with a little shame and handed back the bow and hands to the other party, and then said, "I was rude to concentrate on archery just now. Please forgive General Wang!"

"Hey, this is nothing!" Wang Junqing waved his hand carelessly. Immediately, he looked at Xu Jinghong's hands and said, "How do you feel about your arms? Are you hurt?"

"Injury? What's the injury?" Xu Jinghong shook his two arms puzzledly: "I don't feel anything but a little sour."

This fell into other people's ears, and everyone was surprised again. Is this mother still a human? He pulled a three-stone bow. It was very difficult for ordinary people to pull a few arrows. He just couldn't pull it for a long time. He couldn't stand it. Xu Jinghong's arm is just a little sore, which is really difficult to accept.

"That's good. It seems that you are already very good at archery. After three arrows, you will have such an improvement. Today's logistics and practice will definitely make great progress." Although Wang Junqing was also a little surprised, he had not shown it like others. From Xu Jinghong's ability to hold the bow and not let go, it can be seen that his two arms are not small, so now his performance is also reasonable.

"Dong, looking at Xiao Xu's skill, I think he should teach him the unique skills of arrows and left and right bows, so that he doesn't have to worry about having no successor." An officer beside him suddenly said with a smile.

Wang Junqing was stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded, "Yes, you are indeed a good material for practicing this arrow. Are you willing to learn this stunt with me?"

"Of course I do!" Xu Jinghong nodded quickly. He has also read some of this statement in his previous life, but Xu Jinghong doesn't know much about his ability, and he doesn't know how strict the arrow is, but for him, it's always good to learn a stunt.

In such an atmosphere, the relationship between Xu Jinghong and these soldiers in the scouts is much closer. The strong man in the army is the most admired. Xu Jinghong has quickly won everyone's friendship with his own performance. Even Wang Liehai, who just laughed at him, also sincerely showed his admiration for him.

However, everyone did not come out to hunt or practice, so in the following hours, except for Wang Junqing's skills on Xu Jinghong's bow every day, people are still mainly looking for clues of barbarians and are not idle every day.

Just as Xu Jinghong followed Wang Junqing to find the barbarians to annihilate them all while humbly learning his skills, there were also people talking about him in the capital thousands of miles away.

This is a small dark cabin. Under the light of a small oil lamp, several people in the room can't see their appearance clearly, but the murderous atmosphere emanating from their bodies can still make people feel that these people are extraordinary.

"What! Did you say that the people in the southwest failed? A voice with a lot of majesty said with surprise.

"Yes, our killer Liuying hasn't contacted the contact point there for several days, and I'm afraid he has died by mistake..." Another low voice said: "I thought that a middle and lower-level military officer was just like this, but sending Liuying, a killer who is good at seizing opportunities, has made a big deal. But I didn't expect us to look down on him.

"Hey, I said earlier that this time it was not simple. If this goal called Xu Jinghong is really so easy to deal with, will the third master of the Xu family pay such a large price to invite us to kill us? Another voice sounded, but with a little gloating.

"You..." The second voice was a little anxious when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything cruel, because his previous judgment did make a mistake, which is an indisputable fact.

"Well, don't quarrel. Will you still be happy that our killers failed?" The fourth voice sounded, but it was more powerful than the first voice. The other three dared not speak any more: "Let's think about how to save this face. If people outside know that our killer can't even kill such a little person, how can we make others believe us?

"Don't worry, there should be only a few of us who know about this. I don't think the target itself can be targeted by our shadow, otherwise he will not dare to stay in the southwest, but think of a way to hide." The arrogant statement is the second voice. However, what he said is also reasonable. Since the appearance of the Shadow Killing Hall, no target can escape the assassination.

"That's just one aspect. What we have to do now is to send someone to kill him to eliminate future trouble!" The first voice also sounded: "There can't be any more mistakes this time, otherwise we will be too defeated."

"Then send a few more killers." The third voice echoed, "Our third-order killers are all masters in the industry. If he goes to three or five, he will have no chance."

"No, this is not appropriate." The hall owner's hoarse voice sounded again: "S sending more people will only do bad things. We all know Liuying's ability. Although he is indeed inferior in terms of personal martial arts, this assassination depends on his brain and disguise, and even he has failed. What can many people do? Don't forget that the target is in the army. Can we send someone to attack?

"What should I do?" The other three were a little puzzled.

"Let our dead go. They are better than killers!" The hall owner said coldly, "Let Wuying think about it and find an opportunity to assassinate him!"

"How dare you send a second-order dead man to deal with such a small man..." The other three were a little surprised.

"The signboard of our Shadow Killing Hall is the most important thing. Don't let the target escape again!" The hall master didn't say anything more, but gave an order. The other three dared not disagree any more, and the whole room fell silent again.

After a while, the lamp on the table suddenly went out, and the room completely fell into darkness, as if there was no one here...
