The brothers in Liangshan were not very good at archery, so Shi Jin had to work hard to train the archery camp on his own.
After all, when he first learned the eighteen martial arts from Wang Jin, Shi Jin also studied archery seriously.
I dare not say that I can hit the target with a hundred steps, but I am still sure of hitting the bullseye from 60 to 70 meters.
You must know that the current shooting range of the Olympic Games is only 70 meters.
Even if those people train archery all day long, the top archery masters selected from a country are not 10 rings, but mostly 9 rings.
On this day, Shi Jin went down the mountain to the military camp to practice the cavalry camp and the archery camp.
There were thirty-five cavalry battalions before, but now there were 231 more horses.
Shi Jin asked Hu Taigong and Li Ying to replace 34 horses with green salt.
A total of 300 horses were gathered to expand the cavalry battalion to 300 men.
All the original cavalry battalion soldiers were promoted to squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders, with the old leading the new, so Shi Jin didn't have to worry about it.
Shi Jin mainly focused on the bow and arrow camp.
Bows and arrows use rebound force to shoot out arrows.
Generally speaking, the greater the pulling force, the greater the range.
In order to have an effective lethality range of more than 100 meters, a bow and arrow with more than one stone is required.
But in ancient times, it took more than a year to make a good bow with a pulling force of more than 1 stone.
In a place like the army that requires a large number of bows and arrows, except for a few generals who may have good bows of more than 1 stone, ordinary soldiers use simple bows and arrows, and the effective lethal range of a flat shot is also sixty or seventy meters.
After this distance, even if it hits someone, it will basically not have much lethality.
If thrown, the effective lethality can reach about 100 meters.
This time, 2 good bows worth 3 shi and 7 good bows worth 2 shi were seized from Zhujiazhuang.
There are 341 ordinary bows and arrows, plus the old bows and arrows from Liangshan, which can form a bow and arrow camp of 500 people.
To become an archer, the first thing is that his eyesight must be good and he must not have night blindness.
Because the enemy is likely to attack at night, archers will be needed to counterattack.
You can't even see the enemy, so shoot your ass In addition to good eyesight, whether it is an ordinary bow or a good bow, the archer must also have good arm strength, chest muscles, and back muscles.
Otherwise, if the bow is drawn several times in a row, the arm will have no strength.
Practicing bow and arrow first starts with practicing arm strength.
Shi Jin stood in front of the newly formed archery battalion soldiers and shouted loudly, "Among the many soldiers in the Liangshan Army, you and the cavalry are the only ones whose monthly salary is 5 taels of silver.
Do you know why?"
"Because you are archers, you must know that you are the best and the best.
Whether it is offense or defense, you still have great lethality."
"Every arrow you shoot has the potential to kill an enemy."
"Every time you kill an enemy, one of your comrades may die."
"You get more money than others, so naturally you have more comebacks than others.
Do you understand?"
When the archers heard that their monthly salary was 5 taels, which was the highest in the army, they immediately shouted excitedly and happily.
"Yes, sir" "Very good, now everyone takes turns to practice 15 pull-ups in three groups. 100 push-ups.
Lift 40-pound stone locks 50 times.
Anyone who dares to be lazy will regret it for the rest of his life.
Quick, quick, quick."
Shi Jin walked beside the archers holding a bamboo whip to supervise their training.
I saw that the guy couldn't hold on any longer, or maybe he relaxed.
Shi Jin would run over and yell at them.
"Are you kidding me?
You've only done so many times and you can't hold on any longer.
Damn it, keep going, keep going.
Do you understand?"

I saw a guy who couldn't hold on any longer.
He was lazy while doing push-ups, his buttocks were sunken, and his body was lifted up without even lowering.
Shi Jin walked over and whipped his butt and shouted, "Lift your butt and lower your body to the ground for me.
In order to commend your smart behavior, I will reward you for practicing 100 more times.
You can't do it."
There’s no need to eat tonight.”
Shi Jin raised his head and shouted loudly, "There is also that bastard who wants to continue to be lazy.
I don't mind rewarding him a few more times.
If you don't want to be punished, just do it more seriously."
In the morning, he practiced physical fitness.
In the afternoon, Shi Jin asked the archer to face the target with his left shoulder, hold the bow in his left hand, stand with his feet shoulder-width apart, put his body weight evenly on his feet, and lean forward slightly.
Then he exerted force with his right hand, pulled out the bow, held it up, and then held it motionless for half an hour.
Even if his arms were sore and his fingers were numb, Shi Jin would not allow anyone to put them down, otherwise the bamboo whip in Shi Jin's hand would immediately be thrown away, leaving a mark that would only hurt but not hurt.
After sweating profusely and insisting on seeing that an incense plant was about to burn out, the archer thought he could finally take a break.
A group of spearmen passed by the archer.
Seeing the archer's stiff and painful look, they all laughed and laughed.
"Look at those idiots, it's really funny."
"Yeah, look at their red faces, do they look like monkeys' butts?"
"When you say it like that, it seems true."
"Hahaha" Hearing the pikemen's humiliation, some archers immediately cursed, "Fuck you, I'm "gansini"" "Where did you come from, yellow-haired boy?
When I was killing people, you didn't know where to play in the mud.
How dare you laugh at your grandpa?"
Hearing the archer's counterattack, the spearman seemed to be angry and suddenly thrust his spear at the archer.
The archers, especially those in the front row, were immediately frightened when they saw it and hurriedly retreated.
"Get out of the way, these bastards are crazy."
As the archers in the front row retreated, the archers in the following rows also immediately retreated.
For a time, the entire archer battalion's formation deformed and dispersed.
Shi Jin saw this and shouted angrily, "Who gave you permission to move?
Who gave you permission to move?"
Several archers hurriedly explained: "Sir, it was their spearmen who threatened us with their spearheads first.
We just wanted to dodge."
Shi Jin spat at the archers, "Do you know what military orders are like mountains, and what it means to have orders and prohibitions?
You can move if I give an order?"
"No sir," the archers lowered their heads and replied reluctantly.
Shi Jin shouted, "What are you waiting for?
Everyone is punished by running 5 kilometers for me.
After running, continue training."
The archers heard that, led by the company commander, they started running around the training ground.
This time Shi Jin ran with them, shouting as he ran, "Remember all of you, do whatever I tell you to do.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of you, if I give the order, you have to fight for me.
Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir" The answers this time were a bit sparse, and it was obvious that many archers were still unconvinced.
Shi Jin thought to himself that he should find more opportunities to train them.
Those spearmen were specially recruited by Shi Jin in order to hone the discipline of the archers.
Modern bullets fire quickly and are so powerful that ordinary people cannot dodge them and can kill enemies with a single shot.

But arrows are different.
If the distance is farther, the enemy has good eyesight and is quick, he can grab the arrow directly, let alone dodge.
Therefore, only saturation strikes with arrows can leave the enemy with nowhere to escape and effectively kill them.
This requires archers to concentrate and fire according to the orders of the herald, even when facing an enemy attack, in order to exert the strongest and most effective lethality.
Just like the volleyball parties in modern Europe.
This requires archers to have extraordinary courage and discipline.
Even if the enemy is already in front of them, they must stand firm and not dodge
