Chapter 18: The General's Night Draws the Bow

In the moonlight, Sun Yi suddenly found that a team of black shadows were groping for his shack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This shack was assigned to him during the day, not far from a hundred meters. In the evening, Sun and several leaders were in front of the shack to discuss the deployment of the night, so everyone in the woods camp knew.

With a "boom", the shack collapsed, and the shadow quickly surrounded it.

A shadow lowered its body, as if rummaging for something.

Sun Yi hid in the tree and could only watch dryly.

I hope someone can see through the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain as soon as possible, and hurry back some people before the thief leaves!

After a long time, a group of people finally came running in the distance, and they stopped in the distance, "toot, toot", and there were two short willow whistles.

Sun Yi turned over and jumped off the willow tree, far away from the shack, took out the willow and replied twice: "Tut, tut."

The team of men and horses rushed over, led by Wang Erniu.

Ignoring nonsense, Sun Yi asked Wang Erniu: "How many people have returned?" ”

Erniu said, "That's all!" ”

Sun Yi looked at it, including himself, a total of thirteen people, and the thieves were estimated to be seven or eight.

This battle can be fought!

Seeing a young man dressed as a border army, with cotton armor hanging down his thighs, carrying a bow and arrows, and carrying a spear, Sun Yi walked up and asked, "Brother, how is the archery?" ”

The young man replied, "Fifty steps...... Thirty steps is no problem! ”

Sun Yi thought, one step of seventy-five centimeters, thirty steps of twenty-two .5 meters, the distance of an indoor swimming short pool, a little close, others are "100 steps through Yang", but at present, it can only be encouraged.

"Good! That's enough! It's up to you later! ”

Sun Yi asked again, "What's your name?" ”

The young man replied, "My surname is Li, and my name is ...... It's called Ga Li Guang! ”

Sun Yi already knew that the words of the Second Mansion of Longxi in Shaanxi were slightly different from those of Yan'an. In Longxi, Ga is "small". "Gava" is a young man from a few years old to a teenager. "Ga Li Guang" is "Little Li Guang".

Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty, was a native of Longxi.

Sun Yi looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old "Gava" in front of him, and nodded encouragingly, "Okay, ambitious!" Ga Li Guang, follow me. ”

The rest of the people were divided into two teams, Sun Yi and Wang Erniu each brought one army.

Sun Yi specially instructed the croppers in the team not to separate when they start fighting for a while, and they must cooperate with each other.

With a wave of their hands, Sun Yi and Wang Erniu led the people to rush to the shack and press up.

The thief by the shack also sensed that something was wrong, and looked this way with his head open.

Sun Yi saw that the sneak attack failed, so he simply changed to a strong attack.

Sun Yi asked "Ga Li Guang" to prepare bows and arrows, and led the team to approach the thieves quickly.

The thieves also found out that someone was coming, and they met them noisily.

Approaching, approaching, Sun Yi measured in his heart, fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters, twenty-five meters, twenty meters!

Sun Yi raised his hand and pressed the flashlight switch, and a snow-white pillar of light covered the thief at the front.

The guy just grinned and closed his eyes, his right hand in front of him.

"Li Guang! Shoot! ”

"Whoosh-" An arrow flew out and went straight into the thief's left chest, and Sun Yi even heard a muffled "poof", and the arrow drilled into the flesh.

"Good arrows!" Sun Yi shouted, "Come again!" ”

Sun Yi turned off his flashlight, turned his wrist to point at the second thief, and decisively turned on the lamppost.

"Whoosh-", "Poof! The thief clutched his chest and took two steps back.

"Good archery! Again! ”

Sun Yi covered a thief with a pillar of light for the third time.

This time, the arrow flew out a little sluggishly, and pierced the thief's right arm with a "poof", and actually came to pierce.

"Come again!" Sun Yi shouted.

"Master, no."

Sun Yi turned his head to see that the "Ga Li Guang" bow had fallen to the ground, his right arm was shaking, and his right hand was still trembling and groping in the quiver.

"There are no more than three arrows in front of the enemy."

A sentence flashed through Sun Yi's mind.

The thief in front of him seemed to be annoyed by these three arrows, and ran over with a shout. Even the thief who was hit by an arrow in his right arm, handed the knife to his left hand, and the stunned god rushed over.

Sun Yi deeply felt that the lethality of the bow and arrow was limited.

Sun Yi didn't know that the thief in front of him was an old man. At this time, if you turn around and run, you will give up your back to your opponent, and you will have to fight for a few lives to survive.

And Sun Yi's pair of bows and arrows were misled by martial arts novels.

In later generations, one left and one right are two steps, and the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty are one step!

The step bow of "Ga Li Guang" is an eight-force hard bow, with a force of nine catties and twelve taels per force, which is equivalent to 47.12 kilograms in modern times. One opening of the bow is equivalent to the weight of two large bags of flour in one arm; After opening three times in a row, the border army couldn't even eat enough, and "General Ga Li Guang" was exhausted!

Short-term rapid fire, requiring the arrow feathers to be sorted out in advance. The Mongolian shooting method is three arrows at a time, and after the three arrows, it is necessary to spend time again to pull out the arrows and rationalize the feathers, so "Ga Li Guang" uses all his strength on these three arrows.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the two groups of people collided in one place when they landed.

Sun Yi didn't bring any weapons, he thought that he could restrain these bandits with flashlights and bows and arrows. Unexpectedly, the bandits were even more ferocious.

There was no way, Sun Yihao used a flashlight as a weapon, pointing east and west, and instructed his subordinates to attack the target.

But man is not an animal, and when an animal is blinded, it instinctively froze; When people are blinded, they will frantically wave their weapons to protect themselves; And as the flashlight lights up from time to time, the human eye will become more and more adaptable!

Sun Yi's side was fighting, and Wang Erniu's side collapsed all of a sudden.

After all, there were already three people in front of Sun Yi who had been hit by arrows, and two of them were seriously injured, and the bandits in front of Wang Erniu were still a new force. Erniu's men and horses were originally a mixture of border troops and peasants, and at this time, there was no stimulation of the crops being burned, and seeing the bandits rushing up desperately, the three peasants in Erniu's army were frightened.

One man was so frightened that he lost his fork, turned around and ran; The remaining two peasants were infected and ran away with hoes and shovels.

Only two border troops and Wang Erniu were left. Er Niu held a big fork, his legs trembled, and shouted at the bandits in front of him, "Don't come here!" Don't come here! ”

The bandits really didn't come. Erniu's big fork blocked his way, and he wanted to go around several times, but Erniu's fork was always facing him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Yimao picked up the fork on the ground and stood beside Erniu. "Ga Li Guang" followed Sun Yi closely, raising a spear to protect the other side of Erniu. When the two border armies met, they raised their swords one on each side, and formed a team.

"Erniu, steady!" Sun Yi encouraged Wang Erniu.

Erniu nodded gratefully to Sun.

The thief on the opposite side went around a few times, but he couldn't move forward half a step.

Erniu's fork was originally wide and big, and with Sun Yiyi's fork, a one-meter-wide barricade was formed in front of him, which could not be directly hit up, and he couldn't get around. "Ga Li Guang" stole an opportunity and shot down, poking the bandit's stomach. The bandit fell to the ground in pain, and a border soldier on the side stepped forward and gave him an end with a knife in his hand.

"Just fight like this!" Sun Yi shouted excitedly.

Under the leadership of Sun Yi, the five of them pressed towards the nearest bandit.

The bandit looked at the forks and spears that were getting closer and closer, probably thinking that they couldn't fight, so they turned around and dodged.

The other Wu was confronting the two thieves, and Sun Yi and his team pressed towards the two.

The bandits who ran away made a big circle, trying to attack from the side, but were met by the knife-carrying soldiers on both sides.

The situation suddenly became two of them and two of them hit two people before and after, and after three strikes and two hits, the two of them hung up.

In addition to the two who sat on the ground with an arrow in the chest, only three of the bandits were left standing, and one of them was wounded in the right arm.

The three bandits looked at each other, and suddenly they withdrew.

"Plop, plop", two more people jumped down from a nearby tree, and ran away.

Sun Yi didn't let him chase and asked "Ga Li Guang", "Can you still shoot arrows?" ”

Ga Li Guang nodded and removed the bow from his back.

Sun Yi turned on the flashlight and covered an escaped thief, who screamed in fright.

With a "whoosh", an arrow sank into the back of the bandit's heart.

Sun turned to another thief with a flashlight, and the thief who was covered by the white light cried, and ran away from the ground.

"Ga Li Guang" raised his bow, an arrow was hoisted, a graceful parabola, the arrow hit the thief's thigh, the thief pounced and fell, crying loudly.

The three peasants who had just escaped came back and "beaten" the two seriously injured thieves on the ground together with the other croppers.

Wang Erniu shouted hatefully: "I know them! It's Ma San's people! ”

As soon as Sun Yi picked up the lifeguard whistle on his jacket and put it in his mouth, the sharp and piercing whistle immediately pierced the night sky.

Sun ordered: "The whole battalion arrests Ma San!" ”

bow and arrow

As a long-range weapon of mass destruction in the ancient army, bows and arrows were strictly regulated in every dynasty and generation.

For example, the Qing Dynasty, which attached the most importance to bows and arrows, stipulated that the strength unit of the bow was "force", which was called "jin'er" in the Beijing dialect. Each "jiner" is nine catties and twelve taels, or 5.89 kilograms, or 13 pounds.

According to the size of the "strength", the bow is divided into horse bow, foot bow, and hard bow. As the name suggests, the horse bow is shot while riding, the foot bow is shot while standing, and the hard bow, which is equal to the modern "tension device", is classified with heavy knives and stone locks in the martial arts examination, and is collectively called "bow knife stone", which is the strength of the school, not used for archery.

Horse shooting, the standard bow of the Qing Dynasty martial arts of foot shooting is Ma Sanbu Wu (horse bow three strength, step bow five "strength"), want to use a stronger bow regardless of it.

As for the infantry bow in the actual combat in the army, it was eight "jiner" in the early Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong changed it to six "jiner".

More than ten "strengths" belong to the hard bow. Ten "strengths" happen to be "one stone", so there is a saying of "one stone hard bow".

The military training assessment standards issued by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty (from the "History of the Ming Dynasty"):

"Shoot half of a twelve, far away, near can be in the middle of the range. Far away, it will be 160 steps and 20 steps for sergeants; Fifty steps. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's step is about 65 centimeters.

From this, the foot bow: the long-range shot will be 104 meters ~ 78 meters for the sergeant, and 50% of the requirements will be reached; The close-range shot is 32.5 meters, requiring 50% accuracy

Qing Dynasty martial arts bow and arrow examination standards (Qing Dynasty one step is 1.6 meters):

Horse arrows, Kangxi period stipulated: "Erect three, each thirty-five steps away, be sure to put the horse to run round, three times nine arrows, four arrows in the combination." "-56 metres.

Step arrow, in the early years of Kangxi, he shot a target 80 steps away, sent 9 arrows, and one arrow was qualified. - 128 meters, only 1/9 is required.

In the thirty-second year of Kangxi, the Ministry of War issued an order, "A large number of arrows with 80 steps is too far, and many people who are good at shooting are abandoned. - 80 meters, 2/9 pass!

In the 25th year of Qianlong, "the examination has always been far from 50 steps, changed to 30 steps, and each person shoots six arrows, and the one who hits two arrows is the combination" -- 48 meters, and the hit rate is required to be 1/3.
