"You said that as long as I can pull the bow in your hand, it will be my win?”
Niu Fu could not help but sneer when he saw Zhe Bie nod his head.
"Give me a reason!"
Zhe Bie calmly pointed at Niu Fu's longbow.
"Your bow is a two-stone bow?"
"That's right, this bow of mine is indeed a two-stone bow. Its name is Flowing Water, and the falling flowers have the intention of flowing water.”
"How many arrows can you shoot with a two-stone bow?”
Niu Fu thought for a moment before saying to Zhe Bie,"Normally, I can shoot eight arrows in a row, and each arrow can reach three hundred steps away.”
Zhe Bie nodded and took down the longbow on his back.
"This bow of mine is called the Condor Shooting Divine Bow. It uses the divine metal of Mount Kunlun as the base, the strong poplar wood as the handle, and the flood dragon tendon as the bowstring. This bow of mine is a five-arrow bow. I can shoot an arrow seven hundred steps away, and I can continuously draw the bow thirty times.”
As soon as Zhe Bie finished speaking, everyone in the hall could not help but exclaim.
The strongest bow known to the Great Han Dynasty was the Lingbao Bow, which was originally held by Li Guang. This bow was a three-stone bow, and it was rumored that its range could reach more than four hundred steps.
No one had ever heard of anyone who could draw a five crossbow.
"You can only shoot eight arrows with two stone bows. You can draw my five crossbow?"
Hearing Zhe Bie's words, Niu Fu's face could not help but turn slightly red.
"You said that your bow has five piculs, does that mean it really has five piculs? Also, who told you that I can't draw the five crossbow!”
Zhe Bie could not be bothered to waste his breath on Niu Fu and directly handed the Condor Shooting Divine Bow to Niu Fu.
Niu Fu raised his head and took the Condor Shooting Divine Bow from Zhe Bie's hands. However, the moment the bow appeared in his hands, Niu Fu could not help but frown.
This bow weighed at least fifty jin.
Taking a deep breath, Yoshisuke slid his right hand onto the bowstring.
"Open!"
Niu Fu roared loudly, but there was something unexpected. Niu Fu used all his strength, but he could only draw the Condor Shooting Divine Bow by less than 30%.
"This…this…"
Niu Fu's face turned red. After a moment, he said angrily,"This general is not feeling well today, so I will come back tomorrow to pull your bow. Also, pull open the secondary bow and let me see.”
Zhe Bie took back the Condor Shooting Divine Bow from Niu Fu's hands. He exerted strength with both hands and pulled the Condor Shooting Divine Bow into a full circle with ease.
"Release!"
Zhe Bie muttered and released the bowstring. A buzzing sound echoed throughout the tent.
"Good!"
"It seems that Zhe Bie's title as a master archer isn't groundless." Dong Zhuocai laughed. It seems that the heavens have blessed the Western Liang Army to have such a fierce general before the war.”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, his expression turned serious.
"I've decided that the army will set out in three days.”
"Retreat, time is tight. I didn't give you much time to prepare.”
"Lord, please rest assured. There is still half a day left to prepare.”
"Yes!"
Nodding at Dong Song, Dong Zhuo continued,"Now, the Yellow Turban bandits are spread all over the provinces. Although they are powerful, they rarely contact each other. They basically fight for themselves. The imperial court gave us the order to lead the army to attack Zhang Bao, who is entrenched in Qu Yang.”
"Zhang Bao is known as the Earth Duke General. Although his troops are not strong, they number 100,000. Therefore, we can't let our guard down in this battle.”
Next, Li Ru introduced the grim situation facing the Great Han Dynasty. This was basically not much different from history.
Following that, Li Ru arranged the route of the army, the formation of the army, and the escort of the supplies.
In ancient times, marching was actually very tedious.
Fortunately, Dong Song was leading the vanguard army, so there weren't many obstacles as the vanguard army advanced.
"General, the 3,000 soldiers of the vanguard army have been arranged by the prefect to stay in the west camp. I estimate that the vanguard army will set off tomorrow, so this morning, I have already prepared seven days of dry rations for each soldier from the military supplies. However, after seven days, he would have to raise his own rations.”
As soon as Dong Song walked out of Dong Zhuo's tent, a fat young man dressed like a strategist walked up to him.
Dong Song stopped and turned to look at Fatty.
"What position do you hold in the vanguard army?”
"This humble servant is the vanguard army's thin Cao officer, in charge of money, food, and books.”
"Then let me ask you, how many horses are there in the vanguard?”
"3,000 premium warhorses, 800 inferior warhorses, and 500 pack horses.”
In ancient times, the vanguard army was usually cavalry. This was because the vanguard army was the elite of the elite, and in ancient times, only cavalry could be worthy of the title of the elite of the elite.
"How is the equipment of the soldiers?”
"A spear and a short knife are standard equipment. Three hundred soldiers are equipped with long and short bows, and one hundred soldiers are equipped with crossbows.”
Seeing that this ordinary-looking fatty answered smoothly, Dong Song wanted to test him, so he continued to ask,"How is the morale of the soldiers?"
"Morale is like a rainbow!"
"Can he be put in an important position?"
"We can attack cities and seize land, and we can defeat raiders and bandits.”
Dong Song nodded and finally asked Fatty,"By the way, what's your name?”
"I am Jia Xu!"
