Chapter 2 Demon Black Pearl 4
The disadvantage of the long bow is that the user must have a strong physique, superb technology and the ability to coordinate in all aspects. For this reason, soldiers must go through years of training and practice.
There is no doubt about the importance of the long archer, and it is one of the main arms of the Tiangong Empire. Zhou Weiqing's father once led the Tiangong Empire's army to a typical archery victory when he was a joint captain. At that time, their opponent was the Crecy Empire, which was dominated by cavalry and bordered the south of the Heavenly Bow Empire.
At that time, Marshal Zhou chose a gentle slope, set the position, and controlled the only way for the Crecy army.
There are about 2,000 archers in the Tiangong Empire Army, all of which are divided into three teams. The left team has forests and trenches as cover; the right team has a river as a barrier; the back team is located behind the two teams, led by Marshal Zhou himself. In front of each detachment, there are about 150 heavy cavalry who do not ride horses, holding heavy tower shields, with a depth of six platoons. Facing the enemy cavalry, which are three times more than their own, they won the victory of the war with the advantage of long archers and in a near-massive way. From then on, Marshal The stage of the world.
Because of this, when Zhou Weiqing held the long bow in his hand, he couldn't help but feel excited. As the son of the marshal, he of course used the long bow and shot arrows, but holding this kind of battle bow on the battlefield felt completely different from those long bows for training.
Take a deep breath. Zhou Weiqing holds the bow in his left hand and puts his right hand's skilled index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the bow string. His arms exerted his strength. While his left hand is steadily raised, his right hand has pulled the bow string into a full moon and steadily facing the front.
Handing the long bow to the soldier Zhou Weiqing, his eyes lit up and praised, "Owesome! Little brother, I've played the long bow before. The action is quite standard, so I don't know how accurate it is. As long as we archers are accurate enough, it is the most powerful existence in the army.
How can Zhou Weiqing's posture be not standard? You know, in addition to leading troops to war, the Marshal Zhou in his family, as long as he is at home, the greatest pleasure is to torture him. Although Zhou Weiqing failed to cultivate his natural power because of the meridian blockage, in terms of training, it is definitely the first level. Even when Marshal Zhou is not at home, he will assign him Check. If the inspection fails? Hey hey...
Because of this, Zhou Weiqing not only can shoot archery, but also has a good accuracy, which is why he is excited after choosing an archer. The Tiangong Empire is famous for its bows in the world. In Marshal Zhou's training, the long bow is the most used.
After pulling the bow string for a while, Zhou Weiqing slowly closed the bow. His face was not red, he was out of breath, and his waist was straight. After all, he is only thirteen years old. Although his strength is no longer weaker than that of adults, if he pulls the bow for a long time, his strength is still insufficient.
"All that's it. Little brother, from now on, you will be the brother of our bow and arrow camp. Our bow and arrow battalion belongs to the fifth wing. There are four archers' battalions of all ten battalions of the fifth wing. We are from the third battalion. You have to remember these.
Regardless of large and small countries, the establishment of the army is almost the same. Ten people are a team, one hundred people in the ten teams are a squadron, one thousand people in the ten squadrons are a battalion, ten people in the ten battalions are a regiment and a division, and 100,000 people in the ten regiments are a regiment. Of course, there is no army in the Tiangong Empire. There are five regiments in the whole Tiangong Empire, with a total of 50,000 people.
"Ah? Is this the end of the test?" Zhou Weiqing said in surprise.
The archer smiled and said, "What's wrong? How difficult do you still think it is? This is recruitment, not a son-in-law. As long as the body is not defective, the long bow that can be pulled will naturally be qualified. You little guy is naive. I guess you are just 16 years old and will continue to grow up. There must be no problem. Moreover, after joining the army, you will go to the new barracks for intensive training for three months. Do you think you can go directly to the battlefield when you enter the army? Go and get the equipment over there, little brother. Let me tell you, it's definitely your luck to join our third battalion. When you see the battalion commander later, you will understand. Our battalion commander will send the equipment in person. As he spoke, he ticked Zhou Weiqing's form and handed it back to him.
The direction of the archers to Zhou Weiqing is the barracks not far away. This barracks is obviously just built, and there are carriages constantly transporting things into it. Now it seems that it should be the ordnance used for recruitment.
Are you going to become a soldier? Since he was a child, he has been scolded as a waste by his father countless times. He has never felt as accomplished as he is now. Although the test just now was extremely simple, he passed it after all. With his own efforts, he became a soldier. Zhou Weiqing unconsciously straightened his chest a little, exhaled a turbid breath, and str Go towards it.
Entering the barracks area, the form in his hand is his pass through the sentry. Under the guidance of the sentry, it is easy to find the camp of the three battalions of bows and arrows. There is a sign in front of a huge warehouse-like barracks, which says: New recruits are everywhere.
Zhou Weiqing is so excited! He hurried to the barracks and raised his hand to lift the curtain to go in.
Coincidentally, just as he reached out to grab the curtain, someone happened to come out inside. It's summer, and the curtain of the tent is a thin layer, mainly to prevent mosquitoes and flies. Zhou Weiqing was so excited that he moved a lot. He grabbed it and did catch the curtain, but at the same time he caught one. The round thing is soft, but elastic, and it is held in his hand together with the curtain. While Zhou Weiqing subconsciously pinched it, there was already a low hum on the other side of the curtain, and then Zhou Weiqing was kicked out.
This kick was not strong, but he also kicked him back seven or eight steps and almost sat on the ground. The curtain was opened, and a man came out of the tent.
It was a girl with bright eyes and teeth. She looked only sixteen or seven years old. She was slender, about 1.7 meters tall, and her long blue hair was combed into a ponytail behind her head. Wearing a black suit and not wearing armor, but Zhou Weiqing still knows this kind of black military uniform. It is the battalion commander's first-level standard military uniform. Of course, it is necessary to be equipped with a full set of plate armor outside.
Princess Difuya is beautiful enough, but it is one level worse than the blue-haired girl in front of her. The girl's skin is as delicate and lubricated as cheese. The most significant feature is her extremely beautiful big eyes. Her eyes are light cyan, the eye sockets are very deep, and the eyes are soft and perfect. The exquisite can't find any flaws, which always gives people a gentle feeling like water.
Seeing the girl, Zhou Weiqing was stunned, because he knew the girl. Although he only glanced at it from afar, his memory was extremely deep. The reason is very simple, because the girl who appeared in front of him is not only the first genius of the young generation of the Tiangong Empire, but also the hope of the Tiangong Empire. She is also known as the first beauty of the Tiangong Empire. Her name is Shangguan Binger.
