During the days when Jiang Ming was preparing for war against the Xiongnu, he "invented" a batch of "composite bows".
While it cannot be compared to modern carbon fiber composite bows, it has brought the art of mechanical energy to its ancient extreme.
The power of the compound bow, besides its high rate of fire, lies in its ability to solve the biggest problem that plagued ancient archers: the difficulty of holding a fully drawn bow!
Because the more you pull the bowstring back, the more force you need, and your arms and hands start to shake!
In this situation, your accuracy will be greatly reduced!
But compound bows are different. In the first half, the tension is just as great, making you feel the fierce resistance of a strong woman struggling!
But in the second half, it becomes a gentle and adorable stopwatch; the changes in its power curve are more exciting than a scumbag's face-changing act!
With a traditional bow, a strong man needs to hold his bow until the moment of release before he can relax...
As for compound bows, as long as you persevere through the first half, even a young girl can master them.
Its secret lies in the ingenious elliptical pulley structure on the bow...
With the tension reduced, you can concentrate, adjust the angle, and shoot accurately!
As a special forces soldier, Jiang Ming's shooting skills are beyond doubt!
Another secret of the compound bow is that it changed the precision technology logic of traditional bows and arrows, and changed it to a logic similar to that of firearms aiming!
In this way, Jiang Ming's advantages can be brought into full play!
In addition, the power of a compound bow is 2-3 times that of a traditional bow and arrow!
It can definitely be called a revolutionary weapon in ancient times!
Jiang Ming easily drew his bow and held it at full draw for a long time... leaving Dugu Yan dumbfounded!
It's important to understand that being able to maintain a fully drawn bow position for an extended period of time is itself an incredible ability!
Moreover, Jiang Ming's hands and arms didn't tremble at all, making it seem like he was handling something with complete ease... which made Dugu Yan even more incredulous!
Perhaps... his little broken bow simply didn't have much draw weight?
Dugu Yan could only console herself with this thought...
However, with a "whoosh," the arrow shot out, and Dugu Yan was stunned!
Even from a hundred paces away, she could clearly see that Jiang Ming's arrow had also hit the bullseye, and it seemed to be much more "correct" than her own shot!
"The Khan has hit the bullseye! It has pierced through nine layers of leather armor! The arrow has embedded itself in the wooden stake!"
The soldier checking the targets shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was completely dumbfounded!
She could hardly believe it... Jiang Ming was able to shoot through nine layers of leather armor, and... hit the bullseye!
This archery skill is probably even better than Tuoba Hao's!
After all, accuracy and power are inversely related. To achieve accuracy, the bow cannot be too stiff; similarly, to achieve power, some accuracy must be sacrificed...
Tuoba Hao's accuracy was indeed astonishing; he could even sever a thin, swaying wire.
But from a hundred paces away, how can a thin thread compare to nine layers of leather armor?
"How about it, Consort Dugu? Is my archery skill up to your standards?" Jiang Ming said with a smile after tossing the compound bow to his personal guard.
"Khan!"
Dugu Yan immediately knelt on one knee before Jiang Ming, clasped her hands in a salute, and said, "Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty... Please forgive my rudeness and ignorance..."
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly, pinched her chin, and made her raise her head slightly.
When Dugu Yan looked at Jiang Ming again, her eyes were filled with spring water, brimming with love and affection.
Women all admire strength!
Women on the grasslands are even more like this...
If you have real skills that you can see and touch, she will respect you!
If you rely solely on sweet talk and empty words to deceive people, they'll only spit in your face!
Jiang Ming's "feat" of shooting through nine layers of leather armor not only shocked Dugu Yan's heart but also intimidated the soldiers of the Tuoba tribe.
Because from ancient times to the present, no warrior has ever been able to shoot through nine layers of leather armor!
Moreover, Jiang Ming's arrow was deeply embedded in the wooden stake... and it was fired from the bullseye!
The Grand Duchess's archery skills were superb, but she only hit the circle, not the dot...
Jiang Ming pinched Dugu Yan's chin, carefully admiring his Xianbei wife... He discovered that Dugu Yan indeed possessed another kind of beauty, a maternal, robust, primal, and alluring beauty...
He just always has a stern face, which makes him seem fierce.
Jiang Ming scooped Princess Dugu Yan up in his arms, took off one of her shoes to reveal her snow-white feet, and then walked into the back tent...
"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!"
The soldiers outside the door cheered!
Dugu Yan, looking slightly shy, raised her small hand and gently stroked Jiang Ming's chest...
"Khan... how old were you when you started practicing archery? Why are you so good at it?" Dugu Yan asked with starry eyes.
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "What kind of archery is that? My archery in bed is far superior; I'll get you pregnant in one go..."
"Khan, you're so mean!"
"What? You don't believe me?"
"No......"
......
Just as the two were about to get intimate, a boy suddenly tried to rush into the tent, but was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Mother! Mother!" the child cried out loudly.
"Ashley!"
