Chapter 7: The Safari (Part 2)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The skill of opening the bow left and right is the way of riding and shooting. Even the Turks, who were the most adept at fighting on horseback, were few who could shoot their bows left and right. It's definitely a rare skill.
At this point, Li Chongjiu secretly cried out. Thinking about it this way, it was not unjust to lose to Li Sanniang at the beginning, this Li Chongjiu originally mainly practiced archery. If you want an archer to fight hand-to-hand with others, isn't this based on your own shortcomings and attacking others' strengths?
But you can think of it like that, but you can't say it. Because at that time, the Yan Zhao man in the north needed to master both archery and hand-to-hand combat.
How to say, look at the ancient Tang Army. Carrying an arrow bag, carrying a longbow at the waist, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, being able to open the bow in a long battle, and daring to be the first in close quarters, this is the elite who sweeps the world. The soldiers of the Tang Army were all bowed with one bow each.
At the beginning of "Soldier Chariot Travel", the car phosphorus, the horse Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrian bow and arrow are at the waist. This is the formation of the Tang Army.
Therefore, even if Li Chongjiu has a good archery skill, but losing to Li Sanniang is a defeat, there is no doubt about it. If you quibble too much, you're just making excuses for yourself.
However, at the moment, Li Chongjiu can only open a small half of the three-stone bow, and he can barely shoot it, but he can't exert his maximum power. Not to mention, a mouthful of arrows.
Li Chongjiu regretfully put the three-stone bow into his skin, and instead went to take the two-stone bow that he was accustomed to every day. This bow is old for self-use, and I use this bow to practice every day, and the silk and linen strands on it have also lost some elasticity.
But in any case, this is also the most suitable weapon for Li Chongjiu before the crossing. At that moment, Li Chongjiu weighed the bow in his hand, and after the heart crossed, he only inherited this body, and I don't know how much of the archery skills he practiced before.
So Li Chongjiu couldn't help but have the idea of trying his bow skills. Li Chongjiu did it as soon as he thought of it, put half a pot of arrows on his back, and took a short knife to defend himself, and went down the mountain alone.
Among the mountains of 7,000 villages, towering trees abound. Looking to the southwest, the Taihang Mountain Range, which is like a dragon, stretches for thousands of miles, and hundreds of mountains are interconnected, cutting off the east-west traffic.
In the reckless mountains, the sky is shrouded, and it is just early morning. It was the height of summer, and birds were chirping. The grass on the ground had just reached the ankles, and the morning dew had soaked down the crushed blades of grass into the trousers, soaking all over the feet. Pulling the grass up the mountain, Li Chongjiu, who was carrying a longbow, saw a primitive scenery in front of him. There are woodcutters and hunters in the mountains, and the singing mountain trumpets float in the mountains from time to time.
Li Chongjiu walked all the way, and at first there was a grass path trampled by nearby woodcutters, but as the mountain was deeper, the grass path had long been gone. There are many mountain hares jumping out of the mountains, and there are one or two wild boars shuttling among them during the period. Coming into autumn, the living creatures in the mountains are accumulating fat and preparing for the winter.
When you see a rabbit in front of you, jump from the front. Li Chongjiu saw the target and untied the bow bag at the moment. He didn't take out the two-stone bow directly, but first took out a copper wrench and put it on.
This brass wrench is slope-shaped, with the back of the finger cap exposed (Note 1). The wrench is used to protect the thumb when shooting arrows, and the ancient wrench also has string grooves. At that time, there were two types of string control methods: Chinese method and Hu method (Note 2). The Chinese method is the technique of controlling the strings with the thumb hooking the bowstring. The Chinese fain hooks the bowstring with the thumb, and it is easy to get injured when shooting with bare hands, so it is necessary to wear a wrench.
At that moment, Li Chongjiu took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back to hang the string. Suddenly, Li Chongjiu, who had never used a bow and arrow before, felt very familiar with bows and arrows at this moment. The feeling at this moment is like a first love reunited after a long absence, familiar and unfamiliar.
I saw Li Chongjiu twisting the arrow with three fingers, adding it to the bow, and receiving it with his left finger. And Li Chongjiu's whole person is like a dry body, straight arms like branches, and his elbows can take a glass of water. After Li Chongjiu saw that he had taken off the rabbit, the bowstring was slowly rolled out in his hand, and it was full of strings for a while, but it was not very difficult, which showed the strength of his arms.
With a thud, the arrow feathers came out of the string. But he shot one step away from the rabbit, and the rabbit was frightened by this, ran faster, and disappeared from the grass in a puff of smoke.
Li Chongjiu shook his head, he was not surprised when he saw this arrow missed, the consciousness is the consciousness of a thousand years later, and the archery is the body of this era, and the fusion of the two is not light. It is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step, and the integration of this requires a process.
At that moment, Li Chongjiu pulled the arrow out of the grass and mud, put it into the quiver and continued to go up the mountain.
Trek all the way and climb over another hill. Li Chongjiu encountered several goats on the road and decided to hunt them. There is a sense of panic in the pursuit. Li Chongjiu took a dead wood as a long staff, and used the long staff to draw the weeds on both sides as he walked. Because of going deep into the mountains and forests, the feet on the body are inevitably cut by grass, the thorns hurt, the mountains and rocks are fetters, and the road meets the mountain stream, and you still need to trek over. However, Li Chongjiu felt that he was enjoying it, and the fun was even happier than before, in front of the computer, moving his fingers, and earning millions.
It travels until noon, and the sun is at its deepest. Unconsciously, he continued to climb through the mountains all the way, and gradually became far away from the cottage. Li Chongjiu trekked all the way, his forehead was covered with sweat like mud, and he was clinging to the clothes on his body. Deep in the mountains and forests, the mountain wind hit, but Li Chongjiu's wet clothes felt cool.
When he looked around, the sound of flowing water in front of him was the sound of flowing water, and a mountain spring hung straight in front of him, but at the end was a cliff towering into the clouds. Seeing that the mountain spring water was clear and flowing by, Li Chongjiu had obviously chased down the prey. However, his original intention was not to hunt, but to use such means as hunting, to exercise his body as much as possible, and to become familiar with archery as soon as possible, so as to integrate into this era. Seeing that the spring water was very shallow, Li Chongjiu immediately took off his clothes and pants, got into the mountain spring, and rubbed the old mud on his body. This bath, I suddenly felt happy, although I did not succeed in the hunt, it was also worth the trip. After tying his hair in a bun very unfavorably, Li Chongjiu put on his clothes and suddenly heard a burst of light singing and laughter.
I saw three twenty-eight-year-old girls, carrying a basin of clothes, to the edge of the mountain spring. These three girls, wearing short undergarments and long skirts, do not have any gorgeous beauty, but they all have a sense of simplicity. They were obviously women from the local township, who came here to wash their clothes, and when they suddenly saw themselves, they all wiped a trace of shame on their faces, lowered their heads, and could not advance or retreat for a while.
Li Chongjiu laughed at the moment and hugged his fists at several girls. And when these three girls saw Li Chongjiu smiling frankly and standing tall, they also returned the salute shyly.
There was a young girl whose cheeks were flushed, and seeing that Li Chongjiu seemed to have a good impression, she boldly inquired and said, "Where is this eldest brother from, why have you never seen it?" ”
Li Chongjiu replied: "People from the vicinity, go into the mountains to shoot. ”
The other party snorted softly. At that moment, Li Chongjiu said goodbye to them, put on his longbow and quiver, and began to return. The girls behind him looked at Li Chongjiu's back, whispered, and laughed like silver bells. The girl who asked Li Chongjiu was obviously narrowed by the two female companions.
I came in a hurry, but the return was much easier. Li Chongjiu's ability to identify the road is still good, don't cut trees along the way to make marks, and learn some knowledge of survival in the wild to identify the direction through guò in the past. On the way back, I continued to practice archery.
Li Chongjiu released more than ten arrows to hares, roe deer, pheasants, and flying birds one after another, all of which missed. Seeing that the archery technique was like this, as for the wild boar that he encountered halfway, Li Chong still didn't provoke it for the time being, and avoided it.
Shuttling through the mountains, Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that he had read in the book that the ancestors of all people were hunters, and hunters were the first role played by humans in this world, and they were also the role they played for the longest time. Safari is not only the process of the ancients exploring their own living space, but also an instinct to fight for survival, which has been inherited by mankind through the ages. Li Chongjiu held a bow and arrow, and galloped through the mountains to hunt. Halfway through, Li Chongjiu suddenly found the target, which was the group of goats he had just lost.
Now these five or six goats, after playing Li Chongjiu around, are in a valley, crouching down and grazing quickly.
Goats are vigilant and suspicious animals, and Li Chongjiu has already learned them. Now he was at a distance of eighty paces from the goat, half a hill high, and the goat coveted this piece of tender grass and did not raise its head, so Li Chongjiu did not notice it when he got close.
Eighty paces is within the killing range of the two-stone bow.
At this moment, when there was no wind, Li Chongjiu adjusted his breathing, put the two-stone bow in his hand on the top of his head, and then slowly flattened down, gradually parallel to his shoulders. Before holding the bow, the hand holds the arrow with the finger to determine the position of the prey, and the arrow lies on the right side of the bow and the eye is on the left side of the bow. This is exactly what is in the art of archery, and if you don't reach your fingers, you won't be hit. It refers to not knowing the cluster, which is the same as not having a sight.
This time, Li Chongjiu exerted all his strength, and his bow collapsed like a full moon. The arrow broke out of the string and broke through the air with a thud.
The goat, which was grazing on the ground, seemed to notice something, pricked up its ears, held the tender grass in its mouth, widened its eyes, and raised its head alertly. The arrows were as fast as lightning, piercing through the ground.
Yikes!
There was an incomparably bloody sound, and the arrows pierced through the sheepskin, almost all of them were gone, except for a snow-white arrow feather. The moment the blood spurted out, the rest of the goats exploded, and they fled for their lives without righteousness. And the goat, which was hit by an arrow on his back, let out a low roar, kicked on his hind legs, and scurried blindly without choosing the right path.
Li Chongjiu was willing, let the prey get out of his hands, immediately put up his bow, drew a short knife, and quickly chased after the running goat.
Note 1: Different from the cylindrical wrench seen in Qing court dramas, the slope wrench has always been used by our Han people.
Because the wrenches are different, the Han people are full of people, and the string control techniques are also different.
Note 2: There are clouds in "Shooting the Scriptures": there are two ways to control the strings: the ring finger is stacked on the little finger, the middle finger is pressed on the big finger, the head finger is straight and upright, and the Chinese method is also; Bend the big finger, press the finger with the head finger, this Hu method also.
The Chinese method is often referred to as the Mongolian style of archery in modern times, and the Hu method is the Mediterranean style of shooting.
The Chinese method is conducive to foot archery and strong force, while the Hu method is conducive to mounted archery and weak force.
