Volume 1: First Arrival at Longevity Chapter 142: Twisting String Shooting Technique

  Seeing these soldiers finally no longer rejecting themselves, Ye Chen's face rose with a hint of a smile, saying: "Everyone follow me."

  Ye Chen finished speaking and walked with Hou Yu towards the woods by the small lake. In the center of the woods was a clearing about two or three miles in diameter, which Ye Chen had ordered to be cleared yesterday as a training ground for the Divine Machinery Battalion.

  When everyone arrived at the venue, Ye Chen looked at them and said: "You all scatter and stand apart, each of you put on a set of your most confident moves, let me see what your specialties are."

  "Yes, General Ye!"

  The crowd of generals responded in unison, quickly dispersing and standing far apart, each beginning to display their most skilled moves.

  Ye Chen spread out his divine sense, and with a powerful sweep of his divine sense, he scanned every person. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed repeatedly, and the people who were pointed at all walked out.

  In no time, three hundred people were summoned by Ye Chen.

  "You three hundred people are the most agile, but relatively small in strength, so it is suitable to use repeating crossbows. Later, what you need to do is to collide with each other's arrays and break through the opponent's array eyes unexpectedly, achieving a surprise victory."

  He said, looking at the other 700 people: "You are the divine archers of the Divine Machinery Camp. Within a month, I will make you achieve an accuracy of no misses within 2,000 meters and penetrate five millimeters of fine steel plate. Do you have confidence in yourselves?"

  Seven hundred people looked at each other in shock and disbelief, two thousand meters piercing a five-millimeter-thick steel plate, how is this possible, it's simply impossible, where can you find such a good bow and arrow, even if there is one, with their strength, they would probably be out of energy after just one shot.

  "Do you think it's impossible?" Ye Chen looked at them loudly, "As long as you believe, as long as you work hard, everything is possible. I will teach you a shooting technique that can increase the penetration power of arrows several times!"

  Ye Chen said, looking at the several servants in Tingyu Xuan, "You will carry that one-meter-thick steel plate over and place it on the edge of the arena."

  "Yes, General Ye." Several servants responded and soon a large steel plate one meter thick appeared in everyone's line of sight. The last few people leaned the steel plate against the trunk of a large tree two kilometers away.

  A crowd of soldiers didn't know what Ye Chen was going to do, two thousand meters away, a one-meter thick steel plate, could he possibly stand here and shoot through the steel plate? How is that possible, this is simply a myth.

  Ye Chen took out a black iron arrow from his storage bag, held it in his hand, and said to the generals: "You all pay attention to this arrow I'm holding, and watch its changes in the air after I throw it out."

  Ye Chen's words made everyone's eyes fall on the arrow in his hand, and even Hou Yu was staring at him with her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

  "Whoosh!"

  Ye Chen casually threw it out, feeling like he had casually thrown away a piece of trash. The black iron arrow whizzed through the air, producing a sharp and piercing sound that shattered the air. The jet-black arrow shaft rapidly rotated in mid-air, creating a spiral airflow.

  "Ding!"

  A sharp sound, the black meteoric iron arrow actually penetrated into the steel plate, leaving only two inches of the arrow tail outside, and it really pierced a one-meter-thick steel plate, making it hard for the soldiers to believe.

  After the rain, the beauty of the scene was even more striking. Hou Yu's eyes were filled with admiration as she gazed at Ye Chen. With just his physical strength, he had shot an arrow that pierced a one-meter thick steel plate two thousand meters away. This level of power wasn't something that even the strongest warriors in the Blue Rain Tribe's Secret Realm could achieve, not even after three rounds of intense training. Hou Yu felt that Ye Chen was full of surprises, and she couldn't help but be amazed by him more and more.

  Looking at the stunned generals, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Do you know why I can easily penetrate it? Did you notice the arrow I threw out just now?"

  "It's visible, it seems to be rotating," said a soldier.

  "That's right, the key is here. If in the future your arrows rotate faster when you shoot them out, then their penetrating power will be stronger. So I'll teach you a kind of bow-twisting shooting method." Ye Chen said.

  "What about the twisted string shooting method? However, even if the shooting method is extraordinary, without a strong and powerful bow, we cannot shoot out such great power. The shields and armor of the Ha Chee heavy cavalry are specifically designed to defend against our archers. If we want to achieve the power to penetrate their shields and armor, we would probably exhaust most of our physical strength with just one shot and lose our combat effectiveness." Another general said.

  "Don't worry, the bow I designed, with your physical strength of seven hundred people and eight segments, even if you open a hundred bows in a row, it won't consume too much physical strength. The bow I designed is light and easy to control, can save four times the pulling force, but the shooting power will not be reduced at all."

  "General Ye, is there really such a bow?" The crowd of officers were all shocked and amazed.

  Those engineers also looked at Ye Chen with suspicious eyes. They were the ones who made war equipment for the army, did they have such bows?

  Hou Yu also looked at Ye Chen with some surprise, if there really was the kind of bow that Ye Chen had said, then for the Blue Rain Tribe it would be a sharp weapon, in the future they could greatly restrain the Haicheng Tribe's Wolf Cavalry.

  "You don't have to look at me like that, I've already had Xiao Qi go to the engineering camp to make it yesterday. Compared to before, she will soon bring back a bow and arrow. The blueprint for this composite bow was given to your engineering camp, but wanting to create a bow that can truly penetrate the wolf cavalry's shield and armor from 500 meters away is impossible, unless you have Black Chen Wood!" Ye Chen shook his head and said.

  "And all the Black Thorn wood on me is only enough to make over a thousand bows and crossbows. If I use other slightly better materials to make composite bows, combined with my torsion bow shooting method, maybe I can break through the Wolf Riders' defense within 500 meters. It's not that there's no effect at all, it's just that this gap is too big." Ye Chen continued to say.

  "Hei Chen wood? We don't have Hei Chen wood here, but we do have another type of excellent material tree, it's just that it's too far from Blue Rain City and we don't know its exact location in the Hou Tu Forest. For now, we also don't have time to go look for it." Hou Yu sighed.

  "It doesn't matter, since that's the case, you can slowly look for those materials later. For now, we have the Divine Machine Troop, and a month from now, dealing with the Wolf Riders won't be a problem. Also, this composite bow design must not be leaked to the Hachi tribe!" Ye Chen reminded.

  "This is natural, these things will be treated as confidential." Hou Yu nodded and said.

  "Princess, Ye Dage."

  A crisp and lively voice came from afar, Xiaowu returned, with a face full of fatigue but eyes that were very excited.

  Looking at Xiao Qi rushing over quickly, Ye Chen smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, have you taken care of the things I told you to do?"

  "Uh-huh, the task that Brother Ye entrusted to me will certainly not be delayed for even a moment. I personally supervised them until they finished before returning." Xia Qi said as he turned around to face the over ten people who followed him and said: "Quickly, bring out all the bows and crossbows for the princess and Brother Ye to inspect."

  "Yes!" The more than ten people responded in unison, then quickly took out the bows and arrows from their storage bags.

  "This... this is the composite bow you were talking about, its shape is so peculiar, I've never seen a bow like this before, and this crossbow, it can actually hold ten arrows with fingers..." Hou Yu said in surprise.

  Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement, all staring at the piles of bows and crossbows, looking like they couldn't wait to rush up and grab them.

  "Alright, line up and get ready. Archers, each of you take a bow and 100 arrows. Crossbowmen, each of you take a repeating crossbow and 100 bolts." Ye Chen said.

  "General Xie Ye!" The generals all bowed, then took their bows and crossbows in an orderly manner, eagerly pulling on them to try out the power of the composite bow.

  "What about these arrows?" Some of the soldiers saw the spiral-shaped arrows and were stunned, asking in doubt: "General Ye, can such arrows break through the wolf cavalry's shields and armor?"

  "Hehe, I know you have doubts in your hearts. These doubts will be dispelled by facts very soon. Now, let me teach you the art of rotating bowstring shooting." Ye Chen walked up to one of the divine archers and said: "Now, draw your bows and nock your arrows. Rotate the bowstring 360 degrees, but your left hand must hold steady on the arrow shaft. Otherwise, once the arrow is released, it will deviate from its target. Rotating the bowstring is easy, but maintaining accuracy after releasing the arrow is very difficult. Within this month, you will practice rotating bowstring shooting to achieve a level where every shot hits its mark."

  Ye Chen said, looking at the three hundred crossbowmen, "You will all practice freely on your own. The main focus of your practice is to quickly move and shoot crossbows in mid-air, with every arrow hitting its mark."

  Ye Chen picked up a black bow, drew an arrow, and twisted the string 360 degrees.

  "Whoosh!"

  The arrow flies off the string, its piercing whizzing sound unmatched, spinning rapidly in mid-air, shooting straight at a target two thousand meters away.

  Ding!

  With a crisp sound, the five-millimeter-thick steel plate on the target was instantly penetrated like mud by the arrow. After penetrating the steel plate, the arrow did not lose any momentum and directly pierced through a large tree behind it before finally being firmly pinned to another large tree, with the arrow shaft still quivering.

  "A crowd of soldiers were shocked, their faces pale, the composite bow in their hands, with the power of twisting and shooting, made them swallow hard."

  "Everyone should have seen that I used the same bow in your hands, with physical strength to pull open the bowstring and shoot out arrows, without using any spiritual power. In other words, piercing a 5mm thick steel plate from 2 kilometers away is the effect of the composite bow plus the special arrowhead and twisting string technique. You all intensify your practice, I have other things to attend to, but every day I will come back to check on your progress, remember the most important thing is how to stabilize the arrow shaft so it doesn't lose its accuracy."

  "Yes, General Ye, we will absolutely not let General Ye down!"

  The officers and men spoke in unison, saying that they thought that the wolf cavalry of the Kharchin tribe would be intimidated by their bows and arrows, and the officers and men were all filled with fervor.

  "Engineering camp, follow me to the back mountain of Blue Rain City." Ye Chen said to the thousand or so people in the engineering camp.

  "Yes, General!" A thousand voices responded in unison.

  "Ye Chen, I'll go too." Hou Yu became more and more curious about Ye Chen, wanting to see what he was having the soldiers from the engineering battalion do in the back mountain.

  These few chapters are a bit too much, everyone can't wait anymore, right? Don't worry, it's coming, and the whole back is.
