Driving a sheepskin raft from the island in the middle of the river back to the beach, while the penny controls the left and right directions of the raft, the raft will go down the water, and walk out of a large diagonal line on the river, and only one mile downstream of the island can it dock.

In the same way, from the Yellow River beach to Hexin Island, you must first carry the raft to the upper reaches of Hexin Island for a mile and then go downstream.

The cavalry commander was almost in a race with the raft of the new country. The two sides launched on both sides of the upper reaches of Hexin Island one after the other, and approached Hexin Island in an oblique line one left and one right.

The only sheepskin raft of the Mozhigen horse corps made two trips in advance, and the seriously wounded on the island were evacuated, and the food and arrows were brought up, but the gunpowder that Ga Liguang urgently needed was still on the raft that had just been launched.

The people of the Jin Kingdom, who were originally surrounding Mo Rigen on the island to ask long and short questions, spontaneously raised their bows and arrows and gathered around the scouts of Captain Li Guang.

Li Guang brandished the captured Manchurian bow, "Folks, we have been holding on to the island for two days, and now the reinforcements have arrived!" The big guys work together to repel the last attack of the full pigs! ”

After that, Li Guangda walked to the front of the island in the middle of the river to face the flow of the Yellow River, and a common man resolutely erected a fiber shield in front of him.

Battle ran two steps to keep up with Li Guang, "I said, Ga Li ......, no, Captain Li, arrange an errand for me, I must be able to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Li Guang glanced at Battle and said a little unceremoniously: "When I came, Mr. Yang stared at me and asked me to bring back a lot of people. I have an errand here that can definitely save my life, and there is no errand that can definitely make meritorious service! ”

Battle was stunned, "Captain Li, why did you become so timid after not seeing you for a few days?" ”

There are seven rafts for the love of the new country. The first three are light sheepskin rafts, and on each raft are four warriors in cotton armor holding Manchurian bows. The last four were wooden rafts made of improvised cut trees, each carrying eight or nine soldiers.

Seven rafts were connected in a line, like a long worm in yellow water, winding towards the island in the middle of the river.

Li Guang put the two curved bows on his back, one large and one small, flat on the ground, and stuck several arrows of different sizes on the ground, holding the Manchurian bow in his hand, and said in a slow tone: "Battle, you follow me first." Be careful, the pig's bow and arrow shoot far away. ”

The raft headed by Ai Xinguo was getting closer and closer, and Li Guang pulled Battle to curl up behind the shield.

……

A Liaodong soldier on the sheepskin raft carrying gunpowder nervously loaded the tiger squat cannon.

The cavalry commander anxiously urged the captain, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”

……

Four hundred feet away, the armor warriors on the first sheepskin raft of the Aixin Kingdom began to shoot arrows.

With the sound of the wind, the arrows stuck to the mud of the island in the middle of the river.

Battle couldn't help but be surprised: "They can shoot so far!" ”

Li Guangmao leaned over and smiled easily: "Don't be nervous, they will be bored for a while." ”

The soldiers and civilians on the island seem to have gotten used to it, and the soldiers and civilians in the front positions have hid behind their shields, and the soldiers and civilians in the back positions still don't think what to do.

"Poof", an arrow grazed the shield and landed at Li Guang's feet, Li Guang stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow, sorted out the arrow feathers, and inserted it into the row of heavy arrows in front of him.

Battle couldn't help but be dissatisfied: "Captain Li, are you so hard?" Why do you want to return a few arrows to extinguish their majesty! ”

Li Guang handed over the Manchurian bow: "You can't help but come by yourself, I want to save my strength." ”

Battle muttered a word of Mongolian language, took the Manchurian bow and stood up, stretched out the bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow broke through the air and landed near the left side of the raft of Aixinguo.

The second arrow in Battle's right hand was then put on the bowstring, and with a "bang" sound, the second arrow hit the raft of Aixinguo.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and the third arrow was then fired, hitting a samurai who loved the new country.

The arrow bounced off the cotton armor of the warrior of Aixinguo and fell into the Yellow River.

Battle was stunned for a moment, and was pulled behind the shield by Li Guang.

"Poof", "poof", "poof", "poof".

Four large arrows pierced where Battle had just stood.

"Earned! This time I also earned a big arrow! Li Guang quickly confiscated all four arrows.

Battle shook his sore shoulders and asked Li Guangdao: "Do the cotton armor of the loving national soldiers on the raft opposite have dark armor leaves?" ”

Li Guang replied: "These people at the head are armor soldiers full of pigs, of course, wearing bright armor and dark armor. On the raft behind were a guard full of pigs, not armoured. ”

Li Guang then encouraged Battle with some urgency: "If you still have the strength, shoot him three more arrows?" ”

Battle shook his head, "Shoot in vain, it's a waste of effort." ”

Li Guang smiled, "In the summer, the sun is drying on the top, and the water is steaming underneath." You wait, the full pig armor will be out of energy for a while. ”

……

Ai Xinguo's sheepskin raft suddenly split into two, bypassed the island in the middle of the river, and came directly at the ironwood camp raft loaded with gunpowder and tiger squat cannons.

Driving the sheepskin raft of the Ironwood Camp was an old rafter who came with the Mozhigen horse caravan, who slowed down the penny in his hand, judged the water situation, and said: "We can't cross it depending on the situation, and the raft of Aixinguo can just stop us." ”

The cavalry commander was sweating with anxiety, "Can't you go faster?" The brethren on the island in the middle of the river all looked to the gunpowder on the raft, and without the gunpowder, the electric three-eyed gun of Temu would be a burning stick! ”

The raft rider shook his head, "The raft depends on the flow of water in the river, and it can't even stop in the living water." Love the new country, this is a long time holding back the ghost idea to calculate us. For now, the only way to do this is to return to the river beach, flash the two rafts, and return from the shore to the upstream to re-launch. ”

If the sheepskin raft returns to the river beach at this time, the two rafts of Ai Xinguo will definitely turn around and attack the island in the middle of the river again. The cavalry commander bit his lip fiercely, "Then can you slow down and lead the raft of Aixinguo, and wait for us to return to the river beach, so that the raft of Aixinguo will also miss the island in the middle of the river?" ”

The rafter looked at the water of the Yellow River and said simply and clearly: "It can be done!" ”

……

Aixinguo's two rafts loaded with armor soldiers went to intercept the rafts of the Ironwood Battalion, and the pressure of bows and arrows on the island in the middle of the river suddenly decreased.

Mo Zhigen had no experience in this kind of fighting, and he willingly stayed in the heart of the island to comfort the old and weak women and children gathered around him.

The old man took out a burden from his arms, "Let's see, what is this?" ”

Mo Rigen solemnly unwrapped the burden, revealing a large stone seal, and the old man turned over the stone seal and asked himself: "This is our Altan treasure!" ”

……

Li Guang whispered an order to Battle and several scouts: "Prepare bows and arrows!" ”

"Everyone wait for my command, shoot three arrows in a row, target: the nearest sheepskin raft. Remember, don't shoot people, aim at the sheepskin tire under the raft, do you understand? ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Li Guang lifted the composite fiber helmet, peeking his head from behind the shield and judging the distance of the raft.

The sheepskin raft headed by Ai Xinguo followed the current, flickering close to the island in the middle of the river.

Three hundred feet, Li Guang was unmoved.

Two hundred and fifty feet, Li Guang held a curved bow in his left hand and three arrows in his right hand, and stepped forward with a loud shout, and three arrows burst out of the air in succession.

Almost at the same time, Battle and several scouts bent their bows and arrows, and more than a dozen arrows followed Li Guang's three arrows in the sky in a parabola.

The men of the Jin country on the island will shoot arrows, and they have a tacit understanding with each other after two days of fighting, and the bowstring of "Bang Bang Bang" sounds, and more than 100 arrows are like waterfalls in the sky to cover the sun.

Two hundred and fifty feet is the best hanging distance for Mongolian bows.

One wave of three arrows is a typical Mongolian shooting method.

Playing fast and slow, Ga Li Guang fully carried forward the lightness and efficiency of the Mongolian curved bow.

Centered on the sheepskin raft led by Aixinguo, it seemed that there was a torrential rain in the sky, and the river surface stirred up water splashes, and the sheepskin raft was poked with half of arrows that had sunk into the inflated sheepskin tire.

The armor on the raft was caught off guard.

By the time they avoided the rain of arrows, pulled out the arrows hanging from the cotton armor, and picked up a man-high Manchurian bow to counterattack, the men and horses on the island had already hid again.

At a distance of two hundred and fifty feet, the arrows could not help the armor-clad warriors of the Aixin Kingdom.

But

The "hissing" sound of the sheepskin tire under the soles of the feet,

Let the tall and burly Aixin Guojia shudder under the scorching sun!

Bows and arrows of the East

The bow and arrow plays a pivotal role in the cold weapons of the East, it is a powerful weapon of the Mongols, Jurchens and other nomadic peoples, and it is also the only martial art in the six arts of Confucianism, "etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics". In troubled times, countless heroes were killed or disabled by bows and arrows, until the advent of guns.

The Manchurian bow generally refers to a traditional bow brought into the Central Plains by the Manchus with the entry of the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchurian bow is characterized by its long and reverse curved tip, string pads at the base of the bow tip, and the bow body made of ox horn, wood, and ox tendons. The Manchurian bow belongs to the tendon-angle recurve compound bow. This design of the Manchurian bow allowed it to pull so much that it could be used to shoot heavy arrows with a power comparable to that of early gunpowder weapons. The heavy arrow cluster of the Manchurian bow can reach two taels!

The distinctive feature of the Manchurian bow and arrow is that the whole bow body is huge, and the huge bow body can increase the driving force and pushing distance of the arrow under the condition that the bow arm deformation is small. Although the tip of the longbow increases the burden of the bow arm, the leverage effect is more obvious, and it is more suitable for using heavy arrows. Compared with other types of bows, the string pad of the Manchurian bow should be said to be large and unusual, and it also increases the burden on the bow arm, but it can protect the bow arm well and slow down the impact of the string on the bow arm. It also produces an equivalent bow arm transformation effect when the archer pulls the bow, making it easier to maintain the archery state after the archer pulls the hard bow.

China's current bows are all Manchurian bows.

As for what the traditional bow and arrow looked like before the Qing Dynasty in China, there are different opinions. Although all kinds of pictures and texts have been handed down to the world, there are no detailed descriptions.

In general, the general in the New Year painting bends his bow and shoots the moon, and the kind that is only half a person tall and beautiful is the bow and arrow before the Qing Dynasty in China. The bow and arrow used by Korea, the archery power of the modern world, are derived from the traditional Chinese bow.

The most famous bow master of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Ying, wrote "Archery Zhengzong", which recorded two kinds of bows: the big bow (Kaiyuan bow) and the small bow bow. The names of these two kinds of bows can be corroborated with the bows contained in the "Altar Must Be Investigated", "Wubei Zhi" and "Wubei Strategy".

According to Gao Ying's book, the bow arm of the big tip bow is huge, which is used by the border army, in order to break the armor and kill people, the weight is larger, and the bow arm is thicker. The length of the arrows of the border army is 2 feet 7 inches and 5 minutes, and the arrows of the official system are 2 feet 6 inches and 5 minutes.

It is believed that the big bow (Kaiyuan bow) is similar to the horn bow commonly used in Mongolia before the Qing Dynasty. The workmanship is rough and strong, and the bow tip can directly smash the walnut.

The small tip bow is small and flexible, with a small bow arm and a traditional oval design. The small bow has a "disobedience", while the large bow does not have a "disobedience". What this "violation" is, there is no conclusion at present.

The small bow appeared in the Song Dynasty and was used until the Ming Dynasty. Usually between 1.2 and 1.3 meters in length, short and easy to carry, suitable for light arrows, high muzzle velocity, long range, but weak lethality.
