I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Xie Yunxiao bought four meat patties in total. Jiang Yuan had just skipped breakfast, so he ate two in one go. He rubbed his stomach and burped, "Delicious."

Xie Yunxiao wrapped the remaining two with oil paper and said, "Take this back and ask Chunzhi to fry it for you. The meat pie seller said it tastes good after frying.

If you like it, I’ll buy it for you next time.”

"Have you eaten?" Thinking of how tired he was on his way back, he couldn't eat while riding.

Xie Yunxiao nodded, "I've eaten. I expected there would be a queue, so I bought a few buns in advance and ate while waiting in line."

Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up, "Smart."

"By the way, the Tiger Hill Camp and the Black Cavalry Guards know about your training of new recruits in horseback archery. They said that they would hold a competition next month. General Luo has already agreed, but I guess they haven't had time to tell you yet."

Jiang Yuan leaned back in his chair and looked up at the roof. "Well, it's time to have a competition to see how my training has turned out."

"There aren't many people in the basic class anymore. The most people are in the regular class now."

"Yes, the remaining twenty-two people in the basic class have gone crazy, roar, roar, roar..."

Jiang Yuan smiled sinisterly. Xie Yunxiao had been helping An Chen these days and had not come over yet. He didn't know about this yet. He became excited and asked, "Why are you so crazy?"

"You can go and have a look. It should be the training time for the basic class now. I will go and get the crossbow that Master Tang made for me later."

"Mr. Tang? Tang Li, the new director of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Yes, he was my brother's classmate. When I returned to Beijing, my brother asked me to bring a gift to congratulate him on his promotion. I drew a simple crossbow diagram last time and asked him to help me make it."

Jiang Yuan left the Flying Tiger Camp to get bows and crossbows. When he came back in the afternoon, the basic class's horseback archery training had ended, and now it was time for the advanced class to train.

After watching outside for a while, Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Cheng Sihai saw Jiang Yuan holding a bow of a different shape, and approached him and asked, "Master Jiang, what is this?"

"I had a new type of compound bow custom made for me. Brother Cheng, would you like to try it out later?"

Cheng Sihai took the bow and weighed it in his hand. It was about the same as an ordinary bow, a little heavier than an ordinary bow, but the bow had greater pulling force and was easier to pull.

There are also bayonet and aiming ports. "This one is a little different," he said as he opened it and tried it out.

"Our training results are quite good. Three of them have already been promoted to the special class. This is beyond my expectations."

Cheng Sihai tried to draw the bow while talking to Jiang Yuan, "You also know that your standards are set too high. Not to mention these new recruits, there are no more than ten veterans who can meet the requirements.

To be honest, I tried for a long time and I can barely be considered to be top grade."

Cheng Sihai put down his bow and looked at Jiang Yuan with a frown, "Hey, if the whole army could reach the special level, they would be invincible."

“This is unlikely. To achieve special grade, one needs not only diligent training, but also talent. I never had any hope of achieving special grade.

As long as most of the Flying Tiger Battalion members can get into the elite class, Tiger Hill and the Black Cavalry Guards, our horse archery will definitely be ranked first."

During the intermission of the honor class, Cheng Sihai weighed the bow in his hand and took the quiver from Jiang Yuan's other hand, "Come on, take me to try this new bow."

Jiang Yuan smiled and followed him towards the training ground.

When the students in the advanced class saw Jiang Yuan coming, they all smiled brightly, sat on the ground, waved and greeted him, and shouted "Little General, Little General" one after another.

Jiang Yuan felt a little helpless about this title, but what everyone said was right. Her last name was Jiang, and it was a bit awkward to call her "Jiang" and "General" together.

At first, everyone called her Deputy Commander Jiang, but that's too long.

Later, he was called General Xiao Jiang, and later, the surname was omitted and he was just called Little General.

But it’s not bad either. No matter what, they call her general, not girl. This shows that in everyone’s mind, Jiang Yuan has a status, not just a girl.

Cheng Sihai walked to the middle, drew his bow and was about to shoot an arrow, but Jiang Yuan raised his hand to stop him, "Hey, step back."

Cheng Sihai looked down at the horizontal line beside his feet. This was the line with the longest range. Should he retreat?

But Jiang Yuan nodded to him seriously, he took two steps back. Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and he took two steps back again.

"Back ten meters."

"Ten meters?" Cheng Sihai was puzzled.

Jiang Yuan pointed to the back, and he had no choice but to retreat about ten meters. "If you miss this shot, Brother Cheng, you will follow the basic class training tomorrow."

Cheng Sihai felt a chill in his spine. The basic class was the most terrifying group in the entire army. Everyone inside was mentally abnormal.

I complained in my heart, I should have known not to try it. This is just asking for trouble.

The soldiers from the top class gathered around and whispered to each other about the bow in Cheng Sihai's hand, which was different in shape from ordinary bows.

After calming himself down, Cheng Sihai took a few deep breaths, drew the bow, aimed, and shot the arrow.

When he pulled the bow, he felt something different. The arrow was very easy to pull, as if there was some kind of assist.

The head of the arrow is also slightly different. The common arrows used now have double or three edges.

This is hexagonal.

Let go, and the arrow will fly out with a whoosh, its speed obviously faster than that of an ordinary bow and arrow.

They practice horseback archery every day and are well aware of the speed of bows and arrows. They can tell at a glance that this arrow is much faster.

When the arrow hit the center of the target steadily, there was silence all around, followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers and discussions.

Cheng Sihai himself couldn't believe it, he actually retreated ten meters.

With an ordinary bow and arrow, if you stand at the farthest shooting range, it is difficult for the arrow to hit the center, and the arrow will move downward in an arc.

This is different, it saves a lot of effort, and looking at the trajectory of the arrow, it seems that it can go further.

"This, can it be far away?" Cheng Sihai asked.

Jiang Yuan crossed one arm over his chest and rested the other on his chin. "According to calculations, it is possible, but how far it can go still needs to be determined through testing. Move back another ten meters. Today you are helping me test it in advance."

Cheng Sihai was excited and stepped back ten meters. He shot again, but the bullet landed a little bit downward.

Raise it, shoot again, and land in the center.

He retreated another ten meters, raised his head, and shot the arrow. This time the arrow was not in the center, but it still hit the target.

Jiang Yuan had a rough estimate in her mind. According to her calculations, the range of this bow was twenty meters longer than that of an ordinary bow, which would basically not affect the accuracy.

It seems to be similar to what she calculated.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was not surprised and did not say anything, but nodded vaguely, Cheng Sihai knew that he did not need to go back to the basic class.

"Twenty meters, the range is twenty meters longer..."

"More than that, thirty meters is fine."

"Amazing! Is this the new bow and arrow made by the young general? It actually changed the range. Amazing..."

All around, the soldiers of the top class were talking louder and louder, and Cheng Sihai's eyes were shining.

"A Yuan, this bow has a lighter draw weight than an ordinary bow, so why does it have a longer range? Although the bow was slightly hit, the draw weight was reduced, so it is easier to pull, but why is it still..."

Jiang Yuan took the bow and pointed at the small device at the top and bottom of the bowstring where it met the bow body, "There is an auxiliary device inside to reduce the pulling force, but it will also assist the ejection speed of the bow and arrow.

To put it simply, when you draw the bow, it helps you pull, and when the arrow is shot out, it pushes the arrow. "

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the discussion became louder, and the bow was circulated among the soldiers. Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Flying Tiger Camp.
