Chapter 11 The bow will be like a full moon

Zhao Dezhao still remembers that the poem wrote: "Will hold the bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf", "A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle......

My grandfather had promised him to teach them archery tomorrow, and the next day what they were looking forward to finally arrived.

At this time, when I came to the backyard, I saw three sets of arrow stacks for archery on the ground. The arrow stack is a round object made of straw rope, and the center of the middle circle is dotted with cinnabar, and then several concentric circles are drawn around the center of the circle.

Wake up after the sound of roosters every day, the three of them have long been used to it, and they came to the backyard together, and at this time they were anxiously waiting for their grandfather (father), and finally Zhao Hongyin appeared, and today there is another Zhao Xin by his side.

"Today I also brought you a master in archery - Zhao Xin. You've already known each other before, so I won't introduce you. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Zhao Xin, and I have admired it for a long time. said that archery skills are superb, and I dare not be. From now on, I will be a sparring partner and guide for everyone. ”

In addition to teaching boxing, Zhao Dezhao and the three also had to learn archery.

"Erlang is not here today, so I teach you archery today, and you are learning boxing tomorrow, and the next day in the future, is this good?"

"Good!" Zhao Dezhao and the three of them are still very interested in the project of archery.

"That being the case, then that's it, it's settled."

“……”

"Bring a bow and arrows!" Immediately, Zhao Hongyin ordered his subordinates to bring a few bows and arrows and quivers.

Zhao Hongyin saw Zhao Xin take a hard bow, not long after, a good hard bow was taken up, Zhao Hongyin pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, held the bow in his left hand, and made a slight effort in his right hand, the hard bow in his hand was like a full moon, so the strength of the hand was really big, and then in a moment, he saw that the arrow was steadily submerged into the center of the circle, and at this moment Zhao Dezhao and the three of them in the courtyard all applauded and exclaimed, "Okay!" ”。

Immediately Zhao Hongyin didn't say much, unlike before, this time he held three arrows, bent the bow and set the arrows, "eat, eat, eat" three clear sounds, the arrows have been shot, without dragging mud and water. Zhao Dezhao and the three of them rushed to the target, and saw that the first arrow went straight through the bull's-eye, and the second arrow divided the shaft of the first arrow into two halves, and the three arrows were clustered together.

"My grandfather's (father's) archery skills are really superb, and we really admire them!" Zhao Dezhao and the other three couldn't help but shout like thunder and applauded.

Zhao Hongyin was humble, and said with a smile: "You boys, you have lifted me, this is a small skill of carving insects, why worry about it." In the future, you will do the same, and you will practice hard in the future. I'll shoot a few more arrows at you, and you can learn some more by the side. ”

Then Zhao Hongyin shot a few, all of which hit the center of the circle, which made everyone stunned. At this time, Zhao Dezhao thought in his heart that this was the bow and arrow of the cold weapon era, an outstanding representative of the cold weapon era. If any tool or weapon is an extension of the human hand, then the bow and arrow can be regarded as the greatest extension of the human hand before the invention of firearms.

The bow and arrow were to the age of obscurantism, as the iron sword was to the age of barbarism and firearms to the age of civilization, and even the decisive weapon. There are many archery masters in Chinese cultural classics, and there was a Houyi in the earliest time, and Li Guang, a flying general in the Western Han Dynasty, once regarded a stone as an enemy and shot an arrow into the stone. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng's archery skills are recognized by the world, Lu Bu and Lu Feng first archery archery, the first archer general Tai Shi Ci Tai Shi Ziyi of Eastern Wu, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and they were caught up by Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, but Zhao Yun shot an arrow and broke the sail rope and was able to get out. As an excellent representative of ethnic minorities, Shamoke didn't make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he shot Gan Ning, the general of Eastern Wu. And it is right in the head, which is more powerful than Gan Ning shooting Lejin not dying, Zhang Liao shooting Huang Gai's chest, and Ding Feng shooting Zhang Liao's waist. During the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows. There are also many famous archery masters, Zhao Dezhao can't count them for a while, so it can be said that in ancient times, people who were skilled in archery and horses, especially generals, had more basic abilities.

Zhao Hongyin instructed Zhao Xin to pull out the good feather arrows on the arrow stack, and the good part could continue to be used.

After resting for a while, Zhao Hongyin said to Zhao Dezhao and the others: "The way of archery, the first thing to pay attention to is the 'shape', this 'shape' is when the bow is opened, before I can spread my hand, then the horse will eventually be driven by me." However, the bow should not be opened too early, and the body will be shaken early. Don't be too late, too late. Not sooner or later, take a big stride, just right. When the bow is opened, the head will be propped up, and the strands will not leave the saddle. Push your right ribs and lumbar spine forward hard, and keep your forehand low. Refers to the split loose, between the stirrups, and beyond the head. Mistaken ears. The second lies in the "meaning", this "meaning" is to practice for a long time, the arrow has no rigid momentum, follow the trend, do whatever you want. Both of these are there, and it doesn't hurt to dominate the world. ”

"Zhao'er, you are the youngest, why don't you try it first?" Zhao Hongyin took out a smallest bow and arrow from Zhao Xin and handed it to Zhao Dezhao.

"Oh, okay." After speaking, Zhao Hongyin gave Zhao Dezhao a small bow and arrow, Zhao Dezhao learned from his grandfather just now, holding a small bow in his left hand, and taking out an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, and then stood up straight, and then started with his right foot back, moving the center of gravity of the whole body to the right foot, the arrow was aimed at the center of the circle on the arrow stack, and the bowstring slowly pulled it to his side, but the weight of this bow and arrow was not heavy, Zhao Dezhao could barely pull the bow and arrow into a full moon shape, and then with a whoosh, the arrow flew towards the center of the circle.

Since the bowstring was not full, the arrows had already landed before they reached the stack. Haha, it turned out that he shot an empty target, Zhao Dezhao was a little remorseful, and he felt that he couldn't raise his head in front of everyone.

"Although you just aimed at the heart, but the strength was insufficient, and the pull of the whole bow was not in place, so the distance of the shot was very close. Archery is a skillful kung fu that tests eyesight, patience, and strong arm strength. It's okay, take your time, grandfather won't blame you either. ”

In the end, Zhao Hongyin said: "Hold the buckle and whip it urgently." Its potential: not slow, not panicked, not high, not low, not heavy, not light. Calm and free, everyone can ride and shoot considerably! If you don't put the arrow buckle on the whip first, after the arrow is fired, it will be unruly in the whip. Don't do it! ”

Then he felt as if he hadn't finished speaking, so he added: "Hold the bow as a strong one, and use the arrow as a long one; Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. ”

"Shiro, you're going to try?"

"Yes, father." Zhao Kuangmei took a bow and arrow that suited him, spread his body, and pulled the bow and arrow into a half-moon shape with great difficulty, and then the bow and arrow flew out, but the bow and arrow that shot out flew to the side and hit the edge of Zhao Kuangyi's target.

Zhao Hongyin saw the arrow nailed to Zhao Kuangyi's arrow stack, so he touched the beard of his chin and smiled: "Hahaha...... How did you get the arrow on your second brother's target? ”

At the same time, the others in the courtyard laughed.

"This ......" Seeing her father say this about herself, Zhao Kuangmei continued, "Zhao'er didn't shoot the target, and you didn't laugh at him." ”

"If my father doesn't laugh, you all laugh, and everyone continues to perform. Saburo's turn. ”

Next is the older Zhao Kuangyi, the thirteen-year-old boy Lang at this time to show his footwork and techniques, in an instant the arrow hit the target, although it did not hit the heart, the strength is not enough, but after all, it is still quite close to the bull's-eye, so it is a good arrow.

"Well, yes, San Lang shot well, keep up the good work, surpass my father as soon as possible!" Zhao Hongyin smiled happily.

He turned his head to look at Shiro and his grandson, and said, "You two have to learn from Jiro!" ”

"Yes, father (grandfather)," Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao said at the same time.

Every other day after that, Zhao Dezhao and the three of them had to learn archery......
