Yang He and his men were full of food. They ate all the eight kilograms of rice made of four kilograms of rice.

Yang He also felt incredible. Legend has it that young and middle-aged people could eat two kilograms of rice in ancient times, which is definitely not a false statement. Minister Yang only ate two and a half kilograms of rice. He ate one kilogram, and his younger brother and sister ate half kilogram together.

This is because there is no oil or water. If there is fish, meat and meat every day, eating one pound of rice for one meal, that is, two pounds of rice will make people shocked.

After having enough meals, Yang He felt that his spirit was back and he felt like he was full of energy. Seeing that the house was fine, he decided to take a break here, take a break, leave for two days before leaving, and take care of his younger brother and sister.

Seeing the three of them leaning lazily, Yang He smiled and took out the two pairs of double inserts from his belt, especially looking at Bu Gong's pair.

Although this soldier picked up Yang He's Kaiyuan Bow, his bow bag and quiver are his own. They are all ordinary skin bags with red paint on them. At this time, the shell is covered with stains, which is obviously due to the years of wear.

There was a bag of heavy arrows in the arrow bag, and there were more than a dozen left. The arrow shafts were all ordinary straight wood, and the arrows were also ordinary wrought iron. Take out one and estimate it, and the weight was less than ninety grams.

Yang He shook his head. His previous arrow shafts were made of birch wood, and the arrows were made of fine iron and steel. The weight of an arrow was more than 100 grams. If you were shot, it would be like a javelin. It was very sharp and you can only use it now.

His ring was lost before, but fortunately he had a spare one, so he took out a jade ring from his arms, put it on his right thumb, and then took out his Kaiyuan bow, adjusted it slightly, and then Yang He slowly opened the bow.

He held the bowstring with the right thumb on the place where he wore the ring, and slowly pulled the bowstring with the force of his thumb, while the index finger and middle finger were naturally pressed on his thumb.

This is the most popular Rafa in ancient China. After all, the power of the thumb is the greatest. This Rafa has good practical effect and guarantees the rate of fire. It is very easy to get started.

Mediterranean bow drawing is popular abroad, using the strength of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to train. Sometimes a strong man with hundreds of kilograms of strength cannot pull a fifty-pound bow, but after practicing it well, the accuracy is relatively high. The two methods have their pros and cons.

The bow tire slowly opened and made a creaking sound. This is a very normal sound. Many people don’t care about it at this time, but according to Yang He’s knowledge in later generations, the connection between the bow handle or the bow tip is a bit glued and needs careful care.

Buzz...

Yang He suddenly let go of the bowstring, which swung backwards in a wavy shape, and made a buzzing and trembling sound.

"Young Master Tiger Power!"

Minister Yang praised loudly, and his younger brother and sister also applauded.

Yang He put down the bow with satisfaction. His bow was not only well-made, but also had a strong bow power, which was of the best bow power.

In the Ming Dynasty, the bow can be divided into three levels according to the bow force, the upper force can be divided into three levels, the upper force is 120 kilograms, the middle force is reduced by 23 or 100 kilograms, and the lower force is half, which is 84 kilograms and 60 kilograms respectively.

At the Ming Dynasty, one pound was about 600 grams, and the combined pounds were about 158.7 pounds, 111.1 pounds, and 79.4 pounds. Among them, the upper force bow was slightly stronger than the top Western ones, and the 150 pound longbow pulling force, while the middle force bow was slightly weaker than their elite longbow pulling force.

In addition to the upper power bow, there is also a tiger power bow, which often has a force of more than 200 pounds. People who use this kind of bow are generally famous figures, such as Huang Zhong, Li Guang, Yue Fei, etc.

Tiger power, upper force, middle force, and lower force. Yang He's bow belongs to the standard of upper force bow.

He stroked the bow fetus, and this power was incredible to him in later generations. In fact, he also played with bows in later generations and shot a hundred-pound Qing bow. He was proud of it at that time and believed that he was powerful.

However, it was hard for the later generations to imagine the combat power at this time. The Hundred-pound Qing Bow was just the eight-force bow in the Qing army at this time. However, the bows they used for stairs were generally ten-force bows, which is 132.3 pounds.

The bows they use to ride and shoot are generally six to eight forces, which is eighty to one hundred pounds.

When the momentum is strong and the force is heavy, it is impossible to get more than a dozen arrows inserted and still jump around.

However, the bow tire used by the Qing army is large and thick, with wide and long bow tips, and using extra-large string pads, which is not conducive to riding and shooting. Therefore, they took a road similar to RB bows and used straight aiming and flat shooting during battles. They fired arrows at 40 or 50 steps, which had high actual combat accuracy and great power.

In particular, they use long and heavy arrows to make up for the shortcomings of low speed and near range with large arrows. If they are shot at 30 or 40 steps, they will be seriously injured even if they don’t die. They are like Colt-like semi-automatic pistols and have high human suppression ability.

The Kaiyuan bow used by the Ming army has a long range, a very fast firing rate, a short lethality, and an armor-breaking ability. If you wear heavy armor, it is normal to insert dozens of arrows on your body.

However, Yang He's bow has a strong power. Even if he uses the standards of the Qing army, he is still the first-class twelve-force bow, which is generally used by Bayala.

...

The other double-insert one is a pair of small bows and large bags of light arrows. The small bow is about one meter and two meters long and is easy to spread, and the arrow weighs only fifty grams.

Yang He pulled the bow, and the shape of the bow was a little soft, which may be due to poor maintenance, which caused the bow body to become damp and heat degenerative. This requires careful baking and conditioning with fire to restore the bow force.

If possible, it is best to prepare a special baking room and then apply a few layers of cooked tung oil for waterproofing. After all, it is not easy to make a bow, so it is necessary to cook fire roasting and conditioning.

Yang He estimated that the bow originally had a bow power of 70 pounds, but now it only has about 50 pounds left, and the shooting power is almost a hundred steps left.

Generally, if the small bow is made better and maintained, and the bow force is 70 pounds, the shooting range can easily reach more than 200 meters, which is 150 steps.

Of course, the accuracy and lethality of this projectile are hard to say, but the army's covered shooting does not focus on accuracy or how much damage it is. Especially the small bow is known for its fast speed, and the arrows shot in a short time will be very terrifying.

Yang He was still very happy to seize a bow. The weak bow power was just based on the standards of this time. If it were later generations, few people could play with it.

Many bow and archery clubs can use fifty-pound bows, but there are not three out of one hundred. They usually play 35-pound bows or even 25-pound bows.

With fifty pounds of pulling force, an arrow speed of 80 meters per second, you can easily shoot through the chest of an adult man at close range. With a suitable arrow, you can go up the mountain to kill wild boars.

He threw the double insert to Minister Yang: "Secretary, then."

"Young Master Xie."

Minister Yang happily took the double insertion and hung it on his waist. He looked left and right, and kept cracking his mouth and laughing. Then he took out the small bow, opened his bow and snatched the arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow flew out, nailed it firmly on a door curtain, and the arrow feathers kept trembling.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..."

The sound of the bowstrings kept ringing, and I saw Minister Yang shooting vigorously, shooting directly, and shooting, which was a great pleasure.

The younger brother and sister clapped and cheered, making Minister Yang become more and more excited.

Yang He smiled and nodded secretly. Even if the bow is weaker than psychological expectations, it should have good lethality against the armor-free target within thirty steps.

Moreover, even long-distance ejection, such as at a hundred steps, gravity factors, plus the pointed contact surface, can still kill the armorless target, because it has almost twenty joules of power.

Imagine the feeling of a sharp object with one or two hitting it from the 30th floor...

It’s hard to say whether you die or not, but you’re sure to be injured.

The arrows will rust after being placed for a long time. Some vicious archers inserted the arrows on the ground before fighting, or even soaked them in feces, which made them even more creepy.

There are no antibiotics at this time, if there is tetanus...

Of course, if there is protection from armor, the effect of this small bow will be reduced rapidly. This is also the reason why all dynasties have been accused of having five soldiers but not having armor.

"Young Master, this bow is pretty good."

Minister Yang shouted happily, Yang He was just as happy. Even if this bow was not as good as his own, it would be more than enough to deal with the bandits only.
