Chapter 1168

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Tianlong's eyes suddenly stared at Gao Yang.

"What prerequisite?"

Gao Yang said, "I heard that when Grandfather was young, he could draw a two-stone bow like playing, and even draw a three-stone bow, hitting the target from a hundred paces, born with divine power. Coincidentally, the Emperor will hold a military review in a few days to inspire people, and I will also present two divine objects: stirrups and horseshoes. Then please Grandfather shoot arrows on the battlefield!"

"My request is not big: draw a two-stone bow and hit the target from eighty paces. First, this represents that Grandfather's body is still strong and can support long-distance travel. Second, this move can make the Emperor feel at ease and block the mouths of those who criticize!"

"Grandfather, how about it?"

As the number one person in the military, whenever Gao Tianlong leads troops, the morale of the soldiers under his command is enough to crush the soldiers under any other general in Da Qian!

Moreover, he has fought against the Xiongnu in his early years, traveled through deserts, and has rich combat experience. As long as there is no problem with his body, he is the first candidate for this battle!

Gao Yang's words were very direct: one is to worry about his body, and the other is to block some criticism for him in advance and make preparations. Gao Tianlong naturally understood these two points.

He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "When I was young, it wasn't just hitting the target from a hundred paces! One hundred and twenty paces, one hundred and fifty paces, that was not a problem!"

"Mere eighty paces, what's the difficulty?"

In Da Qian, six chi is one pace, one chi is about 23.3 centimeters, so one pace is about 1.3 meters. A hundred-pace range is about 130 meters.

And the long bows of the seven kingdoms are much the same. One stone is about 30 kilograms, which is 60 jin. Drawing a one-stone bow, the range is only about fifty paces. A two-stone bow, the range can double!

Three-stone bows, four-stone bows, that is even more terrifying. Being able to draw a two-stone bow in the army is elite, and if you can draw a three-stone or four-stone bow, you are simply a hot commodity.

When Gao Tianlong was young, he could draw a three-stone bow, and a two-stone bow was easy, hitting the target from a hundred paces.

"The Xiongnu prince Bartel not only named the Great Chu princess for marriage, but also asked Lady Shangguan to go for marriage. This is not only your shame, Yang'er, but also the shame of the entire Duke of Ding's Prefecture!"

"On the day the Emperor reviews the troops on the battlefield, you brat, watch carefully!"

After speaking, Gao Tianlong strode and turned to leave.

But at this time, Gao Changwen suddenly said.

"Grandfather, wait!"

Gao Tianlong's footsteps paused, and he turned to look at Gao Changwen who was kneeling.
