HEAVENLY GEM - THE DARK TIGER DRAGON GOD

Chapter 8 Strange Black Pearls (4)

Of course there are also shortcomings of the longbow, that is, the archer must have a strong body and body shape, have great skills in various fields, and the ability to work well with each other.

This meant that it took a long time to train and fight together before the archery unit became an adult.

The importance of archers in an army was indisputable, especially for the Heavenly Arc Empire.

In fact, when Zhou Weiqing's father was young and still in command, he led an archer's army in a successful fighting model for archers.

At that time, their opponent was the Kalise Empire on their southern front, whose army consisted mostly of cavalry.

At that time, Admiral Zhou had chosen the slope of the ramps that the Kalise Army was about to cross and made an ambush.

Back then, the Heavenly Arc Kingdom's archer army consisted of only 2000 people, divided into 3 units.

The left cover unit uses trees and trenches as cover, and the right cover unit has the river as the natural barrier cover;

the last unit was behind the other two and was personally led by Admiral Zhou himself.

In front of each unit, there were about 150 heavy cavalry troops lowered with heavy tower shields in a 6-row protective formation.

With formations that were mostly archers, and facing over 3 times their numbers in the enemy cavalry, they had won in a convincing slaughter party.

It was also the battle that pushed Admiral Zhou to fame, and brought him to the upper echelons of the ranks of the Heavenly Bow Army.

Knowing his father's history, when Zhou Weiqing held a bow, he could not help feeling passion and excitement.

As the son of his father, he had trained with long bows before, but holding a long bow that was on the battlefield only felt different.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiqing held the bow in his left hand, while expertly using his thumb, index and middle fingers to pull the rope, while using his thumb, index finger and middle finger to pull the rope, using his power to draw the bow to the perfect crescent moon, aiming at the front.

The soldier's eyes sparkled, and he exclaimed with praise: "Good!

Little Brother, you have used the bow before, a very standard action, but let's see how accurate you are.

For us archers, as long as we have good accuracy, we are very important in the army. "

With the correct posture, how could Zhou Weiqing be inaccurate?

After all, as long as Zhou Weiqing's father was at home, he was happy to "torture" his son with training.

Although Zhou Weiqing was unable to cultivate, but in terms of training in various weapons and battles, he definitely had the best training.

Even when Admiral was at work, he would still provide training for Zhou Weiqing to complete, and would even check it out afterwards.

If he fails the examination.

hehehe ..

As a result, Zhou Weiqing not only knew how to shoot, but was also extremely accurate, which was also one of the reasons why he was so happy to choose to join the archer unit.

After all, the Heavenly Arc Kingdom was famous in the region for its archers, and Admiral Zhou definitely gave him a lot of training in that field.

After taking a position for a while, Zhou Weiqing slowly laid down the bow, not even out of breath and his back was upright.

He was after all still only 13 years old, and although his strength was no weaker than an ordinary adult, he still could not maintain that position for too long.

"All right, that's enough.

Little brother, from now on you are one of our brothers in the archery battalion.

Our battalion was part of the 5th Regiment army, and the 5th Regiment had a total of 10 battalions of which 4 were archers, and we were of the 3rd battalion.

In Boundless Mainland, the formation of troops in different countries was almost the same.

10 People for one team

10 Teams (100 people) to the Company

10 Companies (1000 people) to a Battalion

10 Battalions (10k men) to the Regiment

10 Regiments (100k men) to the Field Army Group

"Ah?

Is it for the exam? "

Zhou Weiqing asked in surprise.

The archer replied with a laugh: "Why?

"Do you think it will be more difficult?"

"We recruited a new army instead of choosing a son-in-law, as long as the recruitment was healthy and in good condition, and was able to draw a big bow, it was considered a pass."

"You're a stupid young man, maybe you're only 16, and you're going to keep getting bigger so there won't be any trouble there."

"More importantly, all recruits will undergo basic training for 3 months".

"Of course we won't send any new recruits to the battlefield."

"Alright, now go over to that side to pick up your gear."

"Little Brother, let me tell you that you are very lucky to be able to enter our 3rd Battalion, You will know why when you see our battalion commanders personally handing out equipment there. "

As he spoke, he put a tick on Zhou Weiqing's form before returning it to him.

The archer gave Zhou Weiqing's direction to the temporary battalion headquarters located not far from the field, most likely not prepared for long, and there were still carts delivering goods there.

Will he be a real soldier now?

Since young, Zhou Weiqing had been scolded by his father for being a useless vagrant, and he had never felt such an achievement today.

Although the previous exam was very simple, but he had passed it on his own merits.

Zhou Weiqing pushed his chest forward proudly as he walked towards the Battalion headquarters.

The moment he entered the headquarters, the form in his hands was his entry permit to the various guard checkpoints, and with the direction from the guards he was able to easily find the headquarters of the 3rd battalion.

In front of a large warehouse there is a board that reads: New Recruits report here .

Zhou Weiqing was very excited now, and rushed towards the warehouse and raised his hand to move aside the curtains to enter. In an incredible coincidence, as he raised his hand forward, someone was walking out at the same time.

It was the current summer, and the curtains at the headquarters were very thin, and mostly just to repel mosquitoes.

Due to Zhou Weiqing's excitement, his actions were huge, and in grabbing the curtain, he also grabbed something round, soft, yet supple.

Zhou Weiqing involuntarily squeezed, and at the same time sounded a loud hmph from the other end before he was expelled.

His kick was not too heavy, but Zhou Weiqing was still thrown behind 7 steps, almost landing on his butt.

The curtain was removed and someone stepped out.

It was a beautiful young girl, about 16 years old, about 1.7m tall and very slender.

He had blue hair tied up with ponytails, and wore a black uniform, which Zhou Weiqing recognized as the battalion's commander uniform.

Of course, he was not wearing any armor that would equip the entire equipment of the battalion commander.

Princess Difuya was already extremely beautiful, but not comparable to this young lady who had a far superior appearance.

Her skin was smooth and silky like milk, and her most dazzling feature was a pair of dazzling large light blue eyes that were soft and almost perfect.

His figure was unblemished, impacting anyone who looked at him as gently as water.

As he looked at the young girl, Zhou Weiqing was stunned as he realized that he knew her.

Although he had only seen her once from afar, but he had definitely left an impression on her back then.

The reason for that was because the girl in front of him was the supreme genius of the Heavenly Core Empire in the younger generation, and was also known as the top beauty of the empire.

His name is Shangguan Bing’er.
