Chapter 133: Horse Chariot

By the stream, it is one of the few places in the woods with a slightly wider view.

Lan Ze estimated the distance on the tree, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

The silhouette of a large deer loomed behind the treetops.

This time the bow was fully drawn, and the arrow flew out in an almost straight line.

The big deer fell to the ground. While wailing like a broken trumpet, it rolled twice and struggled to stand up. After running a few steps, it fell again.

Lan Ze came down from the tree, found the first deer he shot, took the arrow, and slowly walked down the stream to find the second deer. The breeze rich in moisture blew against his face, carrying a strange fishy smell.

"There is a stream in the woods here. Are there any water systems near you?" Lanze asked.

"I can't see it around me at the moment." The college girl replied.

"I also came across a stream." The goblin replied.

Half an hour later, Lan Ze walked out of the woods along the winding stream.

Next to the woods is a lake.

To be precise, there is no strict boundary between the woods and the lake. Some trees stand directly in the water. Looking at the trunks and branches, they look like metasequoias.

The two people had already found the lakeside first. They could see it at a glance on the open lakeshore.

"I'm here too." Lan Ze reported.

"Where are you? I can't see you." asked the goblin.

"Wait me a moment."

Lan Ze slowly left the protection of the woods and came to the grass.

It was difficult to walk in the woods, with tree roots and vines stumbling everywhere.

Although the view from the edge of the stream is better, the ground is full of rocks.

It's much easier to walk on the grass.

"Uh, there seems to be something wrong." The college girl looked at him carefully, "Gong, your bow?"

Lanze took off the bow he was carrying. It was a bit longer than the Mongolian bow.

"It's not the first one, this is" the college girl looked at it carefully.

"Manchu bow." Lanze replied.

"Qing Gong!" The college sister also recognized him at the same time. The two names were exactly the same.

Qing Gong can be regarded as the pinnacle of the development of ancient bows and arrows.

"Huh? Why did you change it?" The long bow in the goblin's hand was leaning on the ground, with the tip of the bow just reaching his chest.

"It's bad." Lan Ze was a little embarrassed. "Pull too hard, the durability is exhausted..."

"How many times did you fire the bow until its durability was exhausted..." The college girl was curious.

The goblin held a long bow and turned to look at the lake without saying a word.

"Uh, killed a bunch of deer."

Red deer is probably the best prey provided by the system. It has a large target and does not run around.

However, because Lanze was a stupid novice who could only shoot stationary, the deer wandered further and further away, and he had to fire his bow at full capacity every time.

Later, after the deer herd with insufficient intelligence was completely wiped out, Lanze also shot a small squirrel.

To deal with small targets at close range, in order to be accurate, he thought it was best to fully draw the bow and let the arrow go as straight as possible.

The Mongolian bow suddenly fell apart during a concentrated full-shot aiming.

If the bow is not broken, the stingy system will not give him a second chance to choose a bow.

Arrows for various purposes are also very precious. They must be exchanged for prey points and cannot be lost. Therefore, Lan Ze will never shoot an arrow at a tree trunk again. If it is stuck in and cannot be pulled out, shooting a tree with a full bow is a suicide attempt.

.

"Aren't you tired?" the college girl asked him.

"My hands are a little sore."

"What a big fish." The goblin sighed and admired the water alone.

The ecology created by the system is so great. There are black shadows in the lake, which are suspected to be prehistoric creatures. They come and go erratically.

"Is this a fish?" The college girl was doubtful.

With a whoosh, an arrow plunged into the water with a string. It touched nothing but water. So Lanze pulled it back.

The college girl looked back at him, took out an arrow with a string, nocked the bow, and headed towards the water.

At just the right angle, the arrow made a splash on the water and sank.

"Where did your arrows come from?" asked the goblin.

"Bought it." The college girl said.

"You can redeem it with points." Student Lan.

The long arrows used by goblins are nearly one meter long; most of the arrows provided by the system cannot be used with long bows. It is okay to spend money to buy customized arrows.

He glanced at Lan Ze, then exchanged his points for a bundle of thin ropes, coiled them again, and tied them into the tails of his existing arrows.

After the long arrow was launched, it twisted forward in the air, took the string with it, and got into the water with a strange twist.

The water surface seemed to be boiling and suddenly exploded. The water splash seemed to turn black.

"It's beautiful!" the college girl praised.

Lanze lost his bow and came to help the goblin in the tug of war.

Unexpectedly, with a casual pull, even the rope and the long arrow came out of the water.

The arrows provided with the longbow do not have barbs and cannot stick to fish.

It's a pity this time.

They played at the lake and learned to shoot fish.

After finally accumulating enough training points, the system portal fell from the sky.

The three of them entered the door, and there was an elevator inside. There was no exit door, and the four walls were filled with small window images of the mission world. Many of the windows were in a gray and disabled state.

"Where do you want to go?" the college girl asked.

"Looking for a war guy?" Wei Yaoji said.

Lan Ze also thought so. He added, "We don't want to defend the city. We want to fight in the field. It's best to shoot on horseback."

"Master of the system," the college girl called to the system, "it shows a battlefield with mounted archery."

The mission world on the four walls was immediately refreshed, and it was all dusty.

"Friends who are archers, do you need to go to the riding and shooting training ground?" The system's voice sounded a bit gloating.

"No." Lan Ze answered quickly.

"The system shows the field battlefield. In addition," Zhang He asked again, "What kind of vehicles can archers use? Show it and let's take a look."

In the history of the world, bows and arrows belong to the cold weapon age. During the same period, there were only two types of land transportation tools: human power and animal power.

Among the vehicles, riding horses, elephants, and camels all require them to go to the training ground again.

The three people were not interested in the various boats for the time being. The remaining ones were horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and reindeer carts.

Forget about the ox cart. The old ox pulls the cart to pieces. In one word, it is slow. There is no passion for war.

The frame of the reindeer carriage felt very primitive, rough and tattered. He wondered if he would smell the simulated stench when he entered the world. Zhang He felt scared.

"Hey? This is okay." Lan Ze saw a carriage.

The vehicle he saw was a two-wheeled cart pulled by four horses. The four horses were lined up in a row, with the hubs on both sides protruding. The driver's position was in the middle of the vehicle, with the archer and the gunman on the left and right.

The other two people came in response.

"A horse and a chariot!" Wei Fairy was excited.

Historically, the era of application of Si chariots ranged from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period. After that, the people of the Central Plains used Hufu to ride and shoot. With the emergence of more mobile cavalry, which could adapt to a wider range of terrains, chariots declined.

"Why are you so excited?" Lan Ze felt strange.

“If you don’t love history, you don’t understand!”

"When did you ever fall in love with history?"
