This was Yang Yuanqing's first actual battle since he learned martial arts. He was also nervous and did not dare to look down on or slack off. He fully expressed the martial arts he had learned. He swept away the sword force of Mr. Liu and slashed at him with a center.

Mr. Liu never dreamed that the opponent's sword had changed from defense to offense so quickly, and he had too late to retreat. He wanted to use the sword to open, but the outward force could not be turned back for a while. In the blink of an eye, the opponent's sword had reached his chest and abdomen. After that, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

With a sneer, my stomach felt cold, but my pants suddenly loosened. Mr. Liu hurriedly grabbed his pants, and his neck cooled down. The other party's knife had already been put on his neck.

He felt a chill in his heart. What kind of knife technique is this? He just cut off his belt without hurting his body. Only then did he realize that his martial arts skills were too far away from this young man.

"If you want to kill, kill me, I won't frown!" Mr. Liu's mouth was still very hard, and he couldn't afford to lose face in front of many hands.

"You lost!"

Yuan Qing said coldly, and when he put away the knife, he turned around and left. Although Mr. Liu still had a knife in his hand, his courage disappeared and he watched Yuan Qing walk away.

A subordinate ran up and whispered: "It's better to go together, and this kid is over!"

Mr. Liu shook his head, "This young man is very strange, his origin is unknown, don't be too troublesome, let's go!"

He carried his pants and turned over the horse and galloped away with a group of subordinates. When the last person who had the bamboo pole passed by Yuan Qing, Yuan Qing pointed at him with a knife: "Leave my clothes!"

In the end, the man was so scared that he threw the bamboo pole to Yuan Qing, whipped the horse hard, and fled in panic.

Yuan Qing put on his clothes, and then he said "Phoo!" to their disappearing backs, "I also said that I would pay my ten pieces of clothes, and my words were like farts!"

At this time, Zhang Xutuo urged the horse to come out of the woods, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face. He was very satisfied with Yuan Qing's methods, brave and resourceful, and this was the style of a general.

Yuan Qing was a little surprised. Today was not the day they made an appointment to practice martial arts. Why did the master come? He hurried forward to salute, "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"

Zhang Xutuo nodded and asked him again: "Did you bring your bow and arrow?"

"Report to the master, the disciple usually practices arrows in the afternoon and evening, and does not bring them in the morning."

Zhang Xutuo took out a black-cornered bow from the horse bag and handed it to him, "This is a Badou bow, it is a riding bow, you can try it!"

Yuan Qing is now using the Five Dou Bow, which is already a standard military bow and arrow, with a range of up to 60 steps. Although he is only eight years old, his figure is as good as a twelve-year-old boy and can be used.

One stone of a bow and arrow refers to the strength, which is about 120 kilograms. It is an ordinary bow below five dou, five dou to one stone, and more than one stone is a strong bow.

Crossbows are prohibited in the folk, so bows are used more commonly among the people, and there is no restriction. Zhang Jiasanlang and Li Jiassilang all take a bow and feel complacent.

However, in the Sui and Tang armies, most bows were used by cavalry. Although infantry also used insidious bows, they were mostly crossbows. Since the arm strength required to draw the bow immediately was much greater than that of pulling the bow on the ground, most cavalry required people with great height and strength to use five-dou bows, and brave generals would break through a stone bow.

Some of the most powerful generals in the world can still use two stone bows or even three stone bows. In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xiong Kuohai went to Beijing to offer a bow on the Yuan Dynasty. It was a three stone bow. Qin Qiong could only pull it halfway when standing on the ground, which means Qin Qiong immediately used one stone bow, but Yuwen Chengdu could break the bow on the horse, which means that Yuwen Chengdu used at least three stone bows.

Zhang Xutuo used a two-stone five-dou strong bow and three hundred kilograms of strength. He had already felt that Yuan Qing had a breakthrough in his strength. Today he specially prepared a eight-dou riding bow for him, mainly considering that Yuan Qing should practice riding and shooting.

"Try it, if it can be used, it will belong to you!"

He handed an arrow to Yuan Qing, and Yuan Qing took the heavy riding bow. The riding bow was slightly smaller than the staircase bow. It felt like the upper bow arm was slightly longer and the lower bow arm was round and short. This was to prevent the lower bow arm from affecting the war horse, but the workmanship was more complicated, short and tough and powerful, which required the cavalry to use rapid fire to shoot arrows.

A good bow takes four years to complete, it is very expensive and difficult to buy on the market.

Yuan Qing took out a single choice and put his thumb on. He found that the arrow was shorter than usual, and the feathers behind him were trimmed, which was very neat.

Put the arrow on the string, the arrow is on the right side of the bow, and the eyes are on the left side of the bow, slowly pull the bow string away.

"wrong!"

Zhang Xutuo immediately discovered his mistake, and Yuan Qing was still shooting with the step bow. Zhang Xutuo shouted loudly: "The momentum is like chasing the wind, and his eyes are like electric current; when you open the bow, you can shoot arrows tightly..."

Yuan Qing felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and suddenly pulled his bow and his eyes were like lightning. He swept forward with almost no stop. When the arrow touched his finger, a carved feathered arrow shot out like lightning. With a "click!", a small tree was eighty steps away. Yuan Qing couldn't help but secretly cheer for himself. He had been practicing hard for three years and had achieved great success.

The riding bow is small, but the potential energy is greater. The strength of both arms is generally not lasting, so you have to shoot it when you open the bow, so you need to have a very high eye and archery skills.

On the contrary, the step bow is soft. To ensure strength, it is generally a large bow. You can slowly pull it open and aim it, and use a large arrow to shoot an elevation angle. Unlike a bow riding, it is a straight line. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the step bow was more used to defend the city or practice martial arts among the people.

Yuan Qing has been practicing stair bows before this. Step bows are the foundation for riding bows. If you practice stair bows well, you will have twice the result with half the effort. Although it is slower than practicing stair bows directly on the horse, you can learn archery at a higher level.

Yuan Qing didn't expect that he could hit the target with one arrow after shooting a bow for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Zhang Xutuo saw the smug look in his eyes. He sneered, turned over the horse, took off his two stone five-dou strong bow from the horse, but pulled out eight arrows and bit them in his mouth. One bow, two arrows shot at the same time, and then turned to the right hand to hold the bow. Or two arrows were shot back at the same time, and then lie flat and shot two arrows to the left.

Almost in the blink of an eye, each one was a hundred steps away, and eight small trees from all directions were shot at the same time, and the tail of the arrow was trembling.

Yuan Qing lowered his head in shame. He knew that the master was teaching his complacency a lesson. He was still far from it! Archery accuracy is the basic requirement of archers, and ordinary archers can do it. The key is strength, distance, skills, and speed. This is the quality of archery masters.

Their masters never talked much, and they all understood in their hearts. Zhang Xutuo put away his bow and said, "It's almost time, let's go back!"

Today, Zhang Xutuo did not let him run, but rode a horse to take him along.

"Yuan Qing, after a fierce battle, what do you think you are missing the most now?" Zhang Xutuo asked him lightly while urging his horse to walk.

Yuan Qing thought intently, "Master, I feel that I lack practical experience the most."

Seeing that he was extremely smart, Zhang Xutuo nodded, with a smile of praise in his eyes. He slowly said to Yuan Qing: "You are right. Maybe I haven't told you that this kind of martial arts is actually difficult to master. There are no less than a hundred martial artists in the Zhang family for three hundred years, but there are only three of them who have broken through the saga period. I, my father and grandfather, I hope you are the fourth person."

"Why?"

Yuan Qing asked a little strangely: "Is it because of the lack of qualifications?"

Zhang Xutuo shook his head, "Although it has a lot to do with qualifications, it is not the only reason, nor is it because of hard work. Everyone in the Zhang family is very hardworking, but there is no conditions."

Yuan Qing had no interface, so I heard him continue to talk to him.

"My martial arts have a characteristic, and it is also a fatal disadvantage. It is that my martial arts are rapid, and the so-called hasteness is not achieved. It is good. It is too fast in the early stage and the foundation is not solid. It is difficult to break through after the stagnant period. Although he can be considered a master, he cannot become a powerful general. He has not found a good recipe for his achievements for three hundred years. Later, my grandfather joined the army at the age of twelve and fought on the battlefield. When he was sixteen, he broke through the stagnant period. Only then did he realize that the key to the breakthrough of our Zhang family's martial arts is to fight and accumulate practical experience. Therefore, he changed this foundation-building technique to be a hundred combat merits. With talent and actual combat, he could break through."

Yuan Qing always felt that this kind of breakthrough seemed like opening up the Ren and Du meridians in martial arts novels. He was curious in his heart, "Master, what greater progress will be after breaking through the stagnant period?"

"Of course there are great progress. The most direct feeling is the surge in strength and speed. For example, you can pull two stone bows and use a 120-pound pangolin sword. Unlike you who can only use a 30-pound knife now, you are also full of energy and can fight for a long time. If you have the strength, speed and physical strength, you will be able to compete with thousands of people, which is called a powerful general."

"What about the martial arts moves the master taught me?"

Yang Yuanqing asked strangely: "Aren't they important?"

Zhang Xutuo smiled slightly, "In the future, you will encounter two ways of fighting. One is the single battle between generals, which requires exquisite sword techniques. Just like the thirteen sword techniques I taught you. In fact, the exquisiteness of Zhang's sword techniques lies in the use of power. You can also use them on other weapons. If you have the chance in the future, you can try it."

Zhang Xutuo paused for a moment and saw that Yuan Qing could understand his words. He smiled and said, "Another way of fighting is to fight on a large scale. For example, if you are surrounded by thousands of people, you have to break out of the siege, and weapons come from all directions. At this time, the tricks are exquisite. The important thing is strength, speed, physical strength, and your eyesight and hearing. In the chaos army, you can hear the sound of bowstrings. When countless weapons come to you at the same time, your eyesight can be clearly distinguished."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. He understood that like Zhao Yun fought bloody battles in Changbanpo, he not only wanted to fight with the generals, but also broke through the Cao army's soldiers. This is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

The reason why Zhang Xutuo said this to Yuan Qing was that he hoped that he could join the army as soon as possible was his wish. His disciples could shine in the army.

Zhang Xutuo seemed to have a lot of words today. He glanced at Yuan Qing and said lightly: "I see that you are practicing knife in the water. It is already difficult for you to break through again, so you know that you have entered the stagnant period, so you have to change your training method."

"But Master, I swung my knife in one hundred and fifty times yesterday." Yuan Qing defended with some dissatisfaction.

"That was done by you, not by nature, but it is easy to hurt your body and is not desirable."

Zhang Xutuo obviously did not agree with his opinion. He took out a token and gave it to him, "From tomorrow, your pseudonym is Li Yuanqing, and you will go to the Zuowei Barracks to train riding and shooting during the day, for two years."

Yuan Qing was overjoyed. He had always dreamed of practicing riding and shooting. He took the bronze medal and saw the words "Left Guards' engraved on it". He knew that this was the arrangement of his grandfather.

He put away the bronze medal and found that they had arrived outside Mingde Gate. Usually they were separated here. Yuanqing entered the city and Zhang Xutuo's military camp was outside the city.

At this time, Zhang Xutuo's eyes were a little sad, and he sighed softly, "Zuanqi, I invite you to have a drink of bar! As our master and disciple's farewell wine."
