Chapter 147: Manchurian Bow

Seeing that the cavalry who loved the new country was about to die, Ga Li Guang was anxious and shouted: "Keep your mouth alive!" ”

The two scouts hesitated for a moment, and the cavalry of the Aixin Kingdom suddenly passed through the fire blockade line. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When it was too late, the three scouts stood up and shot three arrows, "brush, brush, brush".

"Boom ......", an arrow was violently knocked off by the cavalry of the Aixin Country with a bow.

"Poof" and "poof" two arrows did not enter the horse.

The cavalry of the Aixin Jin Kingdom desperately beat the horse's buttocks with their bows, and the horses roared and rushed out of the valley.

"Chase!"

Ga Li Guang ordered.

The scouts on the left and the right changed their bows and arrows, and followed the Aixin cavalry out of the valley on the back of their horses.

Wu Zhiyuan turned the horse's head again, howled in Mongolian language, waved his knife angrily, and urged the mount out of the valley.

The war horse of the cavalry of the Aixin Jin Kingdom was injured, and he could neither run fast nor far, and Ga Li Guang felt that this person was already stable.

Sure enough, the Aixinguo cavalry ran not far from the valley, and no matter how he whipped, the speed of the war horse became slower and slower.

The two scouts and the good Tartar Wu Zhiyuan roared around the Aixinguo cavalry.

The cavalry of the new country actually dismounted!

He didn't hurry to bend his bow and arrow, and "whoosh" an arrow grazed Wu Zhiyuan's head, so frightened that the tartar immediately pulled away.

The cavalry of the Aixin Jin Kingdom "whoosh" and "whoosh" were two arrows again, and forced back two scouts one after another.

Because they were bent on catching alive, the three horses were not in a hurry to rush and kill, but just circled in circles from afar, trapping the cavalryman of the new country.

As long as the Aixinguo cavalry hangs down its bow and arrows, a horse will charge, and when the Aixinguo cavalry shoots an arrow, the charging horse will immediately dodge far away.

There will always be a time when the quiver of the Aixinguo cavalry will run out, and then he can only be caught with his hands tied!

It's just that the bow and arrow of this Aixinguo cavalry have an unusual range, and he dares to shoot at a distance of three or four hundred feet.

Ga Li Guang has been accustomed to bows and arrows since he was a child, and at this distance, ordinary bows and arrows are really not lethal, but the arrows of the Aixinguo cavalry are clearly still powerful.

Therefore, the battle outside the valley mouth looked as if the cavalry of the Aixin Jin Kingdom had the upper hand. The scouts only have the power to parry, and there is no way to fight back.

"Captain, look!"

The scout with an arrow in the chest handed Ga Li Guang a bow.

This bow belonged to the cavalry of the Aixin Kingdom who had just been killed in the valley, and it was as tall as a man.

The common bow of Ga Li Guang has a reverse bend in the bow, the bent bow for hunting is only half a person high, and the hard bow of the border army is no more than the chest. It takes the most effort to bend the bow and open it, but once it is opened, it requires less force. Zhang Mangong is like the capital Latin letter Omika in later generations: Ω.

Ga Li Guang tried to pull this straight bow, and felt that it was very laborious from opening the bow to opening the bow.

Ga Li Guang commanded: "Pull out the arrow from your chest and give me a bow." ”

The scout who was hit by an arrow in the chest had a reluctant face, "The gourd soldier said, you can't pull out the arrow in your heart!" As he spoke, the arrows in his chest fluttered up and down.

Ga Li Guang impatiently ordered, "Less nonsense! ”

The scout reluctantly pressed the pot helmet in his chest guard with his left hand, and swung the shaft of the arrow twice with his right hand, plucking the arrow, and the arrow cluster was covered with the scum of the pot helmet.

"Captain, you have to testify to me when you go back, I have an arrow in my heart! I really hope that this arrow will make a name for himself. ”

This arrow is larger than the usual size and heavy weight.

Ga Li Guang stretched his bow and set up the arrow, only to feel heavy and powerful, and as soon as he let go, the arrow flew out diagonally with a "whirl", and it was more than 400 feet before it landed.

No wonder the two cavalrymen who loved the new Jin Kingdom chased the four good Tartars around. Aixin Jinguo's bow has a long range, great strength, and is stable and ruthless. If you use such a bow in close combat, you can kill your opponent with a single arrow.

But the bow of Aixin Jinguo also has a disadvantage, that is, it is bulky. Bend the bow to shoot two arrows, it can only shoot one arrow. Ai Xinguo's bow and arrow shot three or five arrows in a row, and his arm became sore. And it is a hindrance to use on war horses.

Ga Li Guang flicked the slingshot string and instructed the scout: "You go and bring the quiver of the Aixinguo cavalry, and I will go outside to salute this guy with a few arrows, and I can't let it stop too much!" Don't be sluggish, don't worry, I will definitely report it to you when you are hit by an arrow. ”

The scout said yes and ran back to the valley as fast as he could.

In fact, Ga Li Guang participated in the war or not, and it had little to do with the Aixinguo cavalry outside the capture valley, and when he got a fresh bow, Ga Li Guang was itching in his heart.

But the quiver has just been taken, and Ga Li Guang has not yet stepped out of the valley, and the situation outside the valley has suddenly changed!

In the distance, smoke and dust rolled all the way, and went straight to the trapped Aixinguo cavalry outside the valley.

Friend or foe?

When you can see the people coming clearly, there are six or seven horses where the smoke and dust come from, all screaming, all of them are dressed up in love with the new Jinguo.

Ga Li Guang shouted badly, and hurriedly issued a sign language military order, summoning the scouts outside the valley to quickly withdraw.

On both sides of the valley, there are steep stone walls. It was impossible for the scout team to climb the mountain and hide, so they could only take advantage of the terrain to hurriedly set up a triangular formation to block the attack.

Ga Li Guang made up his mind, fought for a while, blocked layer by layer, fought and retreated, and held on until dark, then he could retreat to the depths of the valley.

The two scouts and the horses of the good Tartar Wu Zhiyuan fled back to the valley like a gust of wind.

The reinforcements of the Aixin Jin Kingdom suddenly surrounded the prisoners who had almost arrived at the scout.

The smoke and dust raised by the war horse fell, and at this moment Ziga Li Guang could see clearly that the other party's reinforcements were a total of seven people, all wearing red tasseled hats and carrying big straight bows.

The reinforcements communicated for a while, and separated two horses and went straight to the valley mouth.

Ga Li Guang measured the distance, and Zhang Gong was an arrow.

The arrow struck a stunned arc and landed in front of the horse.

Come and ride and immediately restrain the warhorse.

Ga Li Guang raised his hand and shot another arrow.

Come and ride a war horse and turn the horse's head, which can be avoided.

Ga Li Guang's third arrow followed closely.

The two cavalrymen of the Aixin Jin Kingdom marched away.

The reinforcements of the Aixin Jin Kingdom gathered in the distance, and suddenly they withdrew. The war horse kicks up dust and disappears into the horizon of Osaka Slope.

Ga Li Guang was inexplicable and puzzled.

Wu Zhiyuan gasped and reported: "I just heard the people of Aixin Jinguo who were trapped by us shouting that there are more than a hundred of us!" They must be afraid. ”

Ga Li Guang will never let go of this opportunity to escape, "Quick! Get out of the valley and find another place to hide! ”

The scouts packed their luggage with all hands and feet, Wu Zhiyuan neatly stripped off the clothes of the Aixinguo cavalry on the ground, and the two good Tartars skillfully cut off the hind legs of the dead horses of Aixinguo on the ground.

"General," Wu Zhiyuan shouted, "this guy still has a breath." Do you want to end up with him? ”

Ga Li Guang suddenly felt a surge of hope in his heart, "Feed him a few salicylylated pills and take them away on the horse!" ”

A scout grabbed a few salicy, stuffed them into the mouth of the Aixinguo cavalry, and threw the bloody Aixinguo cavalry and the two horse legs that were also bloody on the horseback with Wu Zhiyuan.

Out of the valley, the scouts hurried towards the Yellow River to the west.

Ga Li Guang stayed at the end, he whipped the horse's butt a few times, and the two empty horses dragged the dead horse with no hind legs, and went all the way east along the foot of the mountain.

Manchu old files

The Manchu Old Archives are the official political records of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before they entered the customs, somewhat similar to the emperor's records of the Ming Dynasty. The account covers from March 1607 to December 1636.

The old Manchu archives were originally preserved in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, with a total of 40 huge volumes, 20 volumes each of the Qing Taizu Dynasty and the Taizong Dynasty, and the paper used was mainly the old official paper of the Ming Dynasty and the Goryeo paper. The written characters include Mongolian, old Manchu without circles, half-circled transitional periods, and completely circled new Manchu.

(Manchurian Nurhaqi ordered people to create the Manchu script based on the Mongolian alphabet for the needs of clerical correspondence and political affairs, which was born from the Mongolian script in the early Manchu script, which is a Manchu script without circles, called the old Manchu.) In 1632, Huang Taiji ordered to add circles next to the words in the old Manchu text, so that the pronunciation and shape of the Manchu text were more perfect. )

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the original Manchu documents were shelved and forgotten.

During the Qianlong period, almost no one could read the original Manchu documents. Qianlong ordered a recopy, and his herbs, originals, and the Braille Book without Circles are now preserved in the First Historical Archives of China, and a copy is now preserved in the Liaoning Provincial Archives.

Qianlong compiled the Siku Quanshu, which either avoided talking about the centuries-old history outside the Guan, or systematically deified it.

The original documents of the existing Taiwan have been altered in many places, and it is unknown whether they originated from Qianlong. It is not known how much of the rewritten rewrites of the existing continents have been "rewritten". Even so, the old Manchu archives still have extremely high historical value.

Here is an excerpt of part of the five-year grassland war of Chongzhen (the source is the Chinese translation of the Liaoning Archives):

On the first day of the first month of May, he went forward to capture Turush and Raussa to come to the meeting. On the same day, he ordered the four ministers of Ashan, Turush, Rausa, and Ubai to keep the troops under their previous command, and to reinstate one of the guards of each Niulu to go to capture the survivors.

On that day, the army went to the Sutai River.

On the second day of the first month, the second Guoguo Sutai estuary is located in the place of Hara Aluk.

On the third day of the first month, the Haya place of the second Hulagan.

On the fourth day of the first month, the place of the second Gedel Gubulak.

On the fifth day of the first month, it was still in the place of Gedel Gubulak.

On the sixth day of the first month, the place of Hulahu was borne.

On the same day, five Mongols under the Khan's bodyguard, Zhan Tushetu, fled to Chahar, and were captured by the advance party Ashan, Ubai, Turush, and Rausa, and beheaded them.

On that day, Liu Ha and Buhatabun, who were ordered to be the red flag, led two guards from each banner to look for traces.

On that day, Liu Ha and Buhatab captured Chahar and selected two sentinels to solve them. Ordered Azigetaiji to lead two ministers of each banner, one of each Niu Lu guards, and one soldier of armor, to find the sentinels in front.

On that day, the great army of the second trillion Habrak place.

On the seventh day of the first month, the place of Zalabak.

On this day, go ahead to Azig Taiji to meet.

On that day, Khan, the Great Beyler and the Zhubeile gathered far from the camp, and ordered eight ministers, including Kazan with the Yellow Banner, Suerdeyi with the Yellow Banner, Buyan with the Yellow Banner, Laosa with the Red Flag, Bangsun with the Blue Banner, Shaerhuda with the Blue Banner, Ubai with the White Flag, and Xiteku as the main generals, and led ten guards from each banner, two cavalry guards under each Beyler, and five Mongolian armor soldiers on each wing, to advance 30 miles away before the army. Dispatch it.

On the eighth day of the first month, the army went to the place of Bronthubulak.

On the ninth day of the first month, still in the place of Brontubura,

On that day, he ordered Ubai and Tahab to lead one member of each small banner and ten guards to move forward. He sent Rausa to the place of Karamangnai, and saw four Chahars, and pursued them to the place of Yitu, and killed one of them, and three of them fled. From time to time, there were nearly 100 enemy soldiers, and they had divided their wings to try to trap Liu Ha. Seeing this, Raussa immediately led seven men to attack with a shout, and nearly 100 of his enemy soldiers were defeated. The news will be reported by Ang Nai.

- It can be seen that:

First, it can be seen from the scale of the transfer of troops recorded by the old files that the Huang Taiji army is far from 100,000.

Second, it is recorded in the old archives that some of the Mongols fled in the coalition army, which shows that the Huang Taiji army was unstable.

Third, Huang Taiji has been searching for Chahar's whereabouts.

Fourth, in the old files, Azig is called Taiji. Taiji is a Mongolian language, and only the men of Genghis Khan's golden family can be called Taiji, and the heir to the Khan throne is called Huang Taiji. That is, the Chinese transliteration of the crown prince and the crown prince. Therefore, Huang Taiji is also borrowed from the Mongolian title, not his real name. In this Chinese translation, Huang Taiji is referred to as "Khan". In the original Taipei file, the name of Huang Tai Chi was smeared or covered to "evade".
