Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

In this competition, each person only has the chance to shoot three arrows.

To ensure fairness, no one drew the bow to test the feel.

This means that this three-arrow competition not only tests their archery skills, but also their ability to respond on the spot. After all, before this, no one had touched a compound bow, and no one knew what it felt like.

The arrows they used were not arrows for compound bows, but arrows for ordinary bows.

Yue Zhenchuan had told Shen Zheng before that he wanted to use steel to cast the arrowheads of the composite bow and arrow, but steel has not been smelted yet, so everyone can only make do with it.

Those who participated in the competition included Yu Jiusi, Lu Botang, Lin Fanyun, Bao Cheng, the military equipment supervisor's archer, and... Yu Nanshu.

"Can you draw a bow?" Cui Jinyin comforted herself and began to sing bad words, "My grandfather said that these bows are very tight and women can't draw them, so he told me not to touch them, so as not to hurt myself."

Upon hearing this, Yu Nanshu twisted her neck and began to tie her cuffs.

"I practiced it when I was a kid." She looked Cui Jinyin up and down, "You haven't even pulled a bow before, have you? You haven't experienced the feeling of an arrow leaving the string, have you? No way?"

Shen Zheng who was standing next to him said: It seems like I’ve been hurt.

There were bows in the Tongan County armory. When she first arrived in the county, she secretly tried to draw the bow.

Due to multiple factors such as the heavy bow, aging bowstring, and incorrect posture, it was no surprise that she didn't pull the bow very far.

According to her estimation, if one wants to pull the old bows in the county, one would need a pulling force of several dozen kilograms, and people who lack training would have no way to do it.

The biggest advantage of this compound bow at this time is that the pulling force can be adjusted through the pulley system and the adjusting screw, allowing the user to freely adjust it according to their own needs, scenarios and other factors, greatly improving its suitability.

The competition venue was separated from the construction site by a slope, which effectively blocked the workers' view.

Several people from Lu Botang stood in a row, and each of them had a dedicated straw target a hundred steps in front of him.

The first person to try the bow was the bow-tester from the Military Equipment Bureau.

Under the gaze of everyone, he took the compound bow from Shen Zheng. As soon as he held it, he felt that this bow... was completely different from the bows previously made by the Military Equipment Bureau.

Although it has a complex structure and many accessories, it is lighter than those bows and is very comfortable to use.

Under Shen Zheng's guidance, he adjusted the adjusting screw and selected the pulling force that best suited him.

"Hurry up..." Lu Botang urged.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, face the target sideways, hook the string with your back hand, pull back, raise your elbow, use your shoulders and back to exert force, and release your hand.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the arrow shot out from the bowstring. The whole process happened in a flash.

With a "puff" sound, the arrow pierced the straw target, and the aftershock caused the straw target to shake slightly for a moment.

The Lu Botang people standing in a row blurted out: "In the middle of the circle."

There are four circles on the straw target for archery practice.

The white outer circle is the largest and is called "Hou". If you hit it, you get one point. Looking at the center of the bull's eye, you get two points for hitting it. The red "Zheng" is three points for hitting it. The yellow "De" is five points for hitting it.

"的" means the exact center of the straw target. After hitting it, it is called "中". It sounds very powerful and it is actually very powerful.

The archer was able to hit the "straight" mark and was given three marks, which was actually quite impressive and gave everyone a "good start".

But he did not shoot the second arrow.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up." Lu Botang started to urge again.

The bow tester slowly raised the bow. "This bow... is not stiff or trembling. It is extremely stable when fully bent. The hand moves with the bow, and the force and arrow are integrated. This is a good bow... a good bow!"

He thought that he had tried many bows and arrows, but this was the only one that gave him such a good response!

Lu Botang's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Okay, you have to shoot two arrows quickly, so that we can have a try too!"

The bow tester turned around and saw that the people waiting behind him were all people he couldn't afford to offend...

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the enthusiasm in his heart, he shot the next two arrows almost devoutly.

If one arrow hits the target and the other arrow misses, the total score is five.

Everyone frowned.

This is definitely not the level of a bow tester, could it be...

"There's nothing wrong with the bow!" the bow tester shouted, "It's me, I was too excited and couldn't control my hands..."

Everyone took a look.

My goodness, his hands are shaking like that, it doesn't look like he's drawing a bow, it looks more like he's playing a pipa.

Lu Botang laughed at his lack of ambition, but he didn't realize that his hands were shaking a little.

"It's my turn." He got into position and said proudly, "The first five chips belong to this general."

As soon as he pulled the bow, he felt something was wrong, "It's so light? Not enough."

Shen Zheng stepped forward to help him adjust the tension. He watched with great interest and exclaimed "magical".

Seeing him pulling the string hard, Shen Zheng understood in her heart that for the soldiers, shooting through the bull's eye was the highest honor. This feeling was like a basketball player "smashing the backboard" or a football player "kicking the football", in short... pretending to be big.

"bass--"

The arrow left the bow and was firmly nailed in the "positive" circle, record three chips.

Lu Botang quickly tried to excuse himself: "It's my first time using it, my hands are new to it, my hands are new to it."

They are all juniors, and Xiao Shen is here too. He can’t embarrass himself at this critical moment!

"bass--"

"bass--"

Two more arrows.

If both arrows hit the target, score ten, and the total score for three arrows is thirteen.

Lu Botang was still a little dissatisfied. "Tsk, it just didn't penetrate the bull's eye, so I'll just make do with it. But I have to say, this bow... When will you make me one?"

It works so well!

Bao Cheng and Shen Zheng started to get busy at the same time.

Lu Botang made a "tsk" sound and handed the bow to Bao Cheng, "It's your turn."

The bow he made with his own hands was wrapped up and looked at as if he were a child.

The bow tester and Lu Botang only adjusted the tension, but he relied on his advantage as his "biological father" and adjusted all the adjustable parameters on the bow.

Draw length, arrow rest, grip, weight...

Lu Botang's eyes widened, "How can this be done? You are cheating!"

Bao Cheng answered confidently: "Tuning the bow varies from person to person, you don't tune it yourself!"

Lu Botang: "I don't know at all!"

Bao Cheng rolled his eyes: "So all these days have been wasted?"

Lu Botang returned empty-handed and stood aside silently cursing Bao Cheng for missing his three arrows.

I don’t know if his curse took effect, but the first two arrows of Baocheng really missed the target. Lu Botang laughed out loud: “It seems that your arrows are a little lost.”

The third arrow was released, and this time it found the right path.

"Hit! Five chips!"

Bao Cheng broke out in a cold sweat for himself.

Fortunately, fortunately, I tied for first place with the arch tester.

At this point, the competition entered a white-hot stage.

Counting from the front, the archers on the field are Lin Fanyun, Yu Jiusi, and Yu Nanshu.

Dissension began.
