The Huns' eagle archers, as the top masters of the nomadic people, have a skill that few people can match. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Such a situation is described accordingly in the "Historical Records":

The Xiongnu invaded Shangjun in a big way, and the Son of Heaven sent a eunuch to follow Li Guang to learn military affairs and fight against the Xiongnu. The eunuch led dozens of cavalrymen to gallop on horseback, and when he met three Huns, he engaged them, and the three Huns turned around and fired arrows, drew their swords and fought hand-to-hand, and shot and wounded the eunuch, killing all his subordinate cavalry. The eunuch fled back to Li Guang's camp with his wounds, and Li Guang said: "This must be the Xiongnu's eagle archer." Li Guang then took a hundred elite cavalry of the guards to chase after the three condor archers. The three condor archers had no horses and went on foot. After walking dozens of miles, Li Guang ordered his cavalry to spread out left and right and outflank them in two ways. In the midst of the rebellion, two of the Condor Shooters were killed, and one gave up resistance.

Such a situation shows that even in terms of Li Guang's archery ability, it will not be beneficial to face the three Condor Shooters alone, and the three Hun Condor Archers can shoot and injure the eunuch who should be not bad in force under the condition of cooperating with each other, and at the same time kill all the attendant knights around the eunuch, which shows the ability of the Hun Condor Archer.

Among the Huns, not everyone can be an eagle shooter, because the eagle owls in the sky above the desert are not so easy to shoot, let alone shoot these eagles.

The eagle owl in China is not the Andean eagle with a body length of 130 centimeters, a weight of 10 kilograms, and a wingspan of more than 3 meters, which is not a species found in northern China and the Mongolian plateau.

It's not like a bow and arrow can shoot down. After all, if you take the flat ground situation, the average flight altitude of this thing is 5000~6000 meters above sea level, and the highest time is 8500 meters. It is also very difficult to shoot down such an eagle owl at the peak of the Andes, let alone on flat ground, because it is basically impossible.

The big eagle in China mainly refers to the black eagle, the flower carving, and the small flower soap carving.

This eagle has the form of an eagle, but is much larger than an eagle, with wide wings and a stout body. The feathers are brown and almost gray. It is strong and powerful, hovering in the air and can see anything on the ground. It has several varieties: it grows in the north and is called the black color, and it is called the soap eagle that lives in the northeast and is green and grows in the west. The head is yellow and the eyes are red. Feathers of various colors are called vultures.

The eagles of the Xiongnu territory are mainly golden eagles, which are known for their prominent appearance and agile and powerful flight, and the wingspan of adult birds is more than 2 meters on average, and the body length can reach 1 meter, and all of their legs and claws are covered with feathers.

Golden eagles generally live in mountainous or hilly areas, especially in valley cliffs and nesting in mountain wall protrusions. It inhabits alpine grasslands, deserts, river valleys and forests, and often goes to mountainous hills and foothills in winter, with a maximum altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Feeds on large and medium-sized birds and mammals.

Usually activities alone or in pairs. In winter, small groups can sometimes be formed, but large groups of about 20 individuals can occasionally be seen gathering to catch larger prey. It is good at soaring and gliding, often hovering in a straight line or circle in the air, looking down at the ground to find prey, raising its wings in a "" shape, and adjusting the direction, altitude, speed and flight posture of flight with soft and flexible wings and tail changes. When a target is discovered, it often falls from the sky at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. And at the last moment, he abruptly stopped flapping his wings, then firmly grasped the head of the prey, and poked his claws into the skull of the prey, causing it to die instantly. It preys on dozens of prey, such as geese and ducks, pheasants, squirrels, roe deer, deer, goats, foxes, marmots, hares, etc., and sometimes eats small beasts such as rats.

The Huns had the habit of domesticating the golden eagle. But there are relatively few people who are able to do this.

In later generations, there were trained golden eagles to chase wolves long distances across the grassland, and when the wolf was tired, it grabbed its neck with one paw and its eyes with the other, so that the wolf lost the ability to resist. There was once a record of a golden eagle catching 14 wolves. In contrast, it has a poor carrying capacity, with a weight capacity of less than 1 kg. When a large prey is caught, it is dismembered on the ground, eating the good meat and internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs, and then dividing the rest in half and bringing it back to the place where it lofts in batches.

In such a situation, if you want to become a qualified condor archer among the Huns, there is a rough standard, that is, you can shoot arrows with a range of more than 1,000 meters and a fairly high accuracy.

After all, the average altitude of the Mongolian Plateau is 1,000 to 1,200 meters, under normal circumstances, the flight altitude of a golden eagle is about 2,000 meters, and the highest can reach 4,000 meters.

Therefore, the Huns had a lot of strength to shoot the Condor side by side, but the people who can really be the Condor Shooters, in many cases, luck occupies a considerable part of the factor.

......

This Condor Shooter, as a person who has to be courteous to King Zuoxian, naturally has his own outstanding ability.

He was now shot through his calf by Chen Heng's arrow, but for him, this kind of injury only aroused his will to fight.

In the eyes of this condor archer, being able to meet this kind of Qin Army archer with good strength may be regarded as a parting gift from God.

You must know that his archery skills are at the level of the Huns, and there are few people who can compare with them, otherwise, King Zuo Xian would not give him that high-standard treatment, after all, King Zuo Xian, as the second person of the Huns, naturally has a lot of masters under his hands.

Among the personnel under the command of King Zuoxian, there are not many people who can compare with him in archery, so he has always hoped that he can meet a real opponent. After all, if you fight with your own robe, you naturally don't need to use too much real strength, after all, this is not a life-and-death battle.

And for this Hun condor shooter, he had a feeling of regret, that is, he seemed to be tricked by the other party. After all, the arrows he is using now are not the equipment he is used to, and the quality of this arrow is difficult for him to show his strength. Moreover, after such a period of fighting, his physical strength and spirit have been consumed a lot.

That's why he regretted that he couldn't have a real duel with the Qin people's archery masters. Moreover, seeing such a situation in front of him, the other party also did not plan to have a one-on-one duel with him.

He won't complain about anything. Because he knew that since he had participated in this war, he would have to face all kinds of unfavorable situations. On the battlefield, few people will have a fair duel with you, because this is the real battlefield.

Thinking of the Condor Shooter here, after taking a deep breath, he roared loudly: "I didn't expect me to have such a day. But I'm not going to complain and I'm not going to die, come on. Let your bravery reap my life!!"

It's a pity that the words of this Hun condor archer are indeed inspiring, but the Xiongnu language he speaks is really not understood by few Qin officers and soldiers.

And then, perhaps thinking of such a link, the Condor Shooter showed an embarrassed self-deprecating smile.

But in the actual actions of this Hun condor archer, it was shown that he did not intend to wait for death like this.

......

The condor archer used a knife to cut off Chen Heng's arrow that pierced his calf, and then held the position of the arrow hard and pulled out the broken arrow.

Something like that. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, indicating that his body was suffering a lot of pain, but he could still endure it.

And then, he put his big bow in the bag of his mount, slowly urged the war horse, and rushed towards Chen Heng's location with a scimitar.

It's not that he can't continue to shoot arrows, but he knows it. It is difficult for him to suppress the other party in such a situation, after all, there is a big gap in the overall strength comparison between the two sides.

After such a short period of time, what this condor archer saw was the Hun rider who was willing to follow him to break through, and was like chopping melons and vegetables by Su Lan and others. Twenty or thirty people were killed.

There are less than ordinary riders left, and it is also very difficult to contain each other.

Chen Heng didn't expect such a scene, what he saw was that this Hun eagle archer actually rushed over like this, and he really didn't know what the other party was going to do.

Maybe the other party knew Su Lan's identity and planned to capture Su Lan alive, and then coerce them to let him live?

Thinking of such a situation, Chen Heng couldn't help but ooze a trace of cold sweat from the corner of his forehead. Because he was really worried about this situation.

Therefore, after thinking of this, Chen Heng decided to shoot and kill the other party before the Hun Condor Archer approached Su Luan.

Chen Heng, who took out three arrows from the quiver, said to the ranger knight next to him while putting the arrows on the bowstring: "Take out three arrows and give them to me!!"

Chen Heng's order made the ranger who was responsible for carrying a quiver not very clear what the situation was, after all, they had not cooperated. But he didn't shirk anything, but took out four arrows from his quiver.

At this time, Chen Heng pulled the bowstring of the compound big bow in his hand vigorously.

With this type of bow, or for experienced archers, it is rare for them to shoot with their bare fingers, as this can easily cut their fingers or even break them from the backlash.

Therefore, for these archers, a wrench or elastic finger sleeve is a must-have product for archers.

People like Zhang Jiashi, who don't have many archery opportunities, also have their own wrench made of jade.

......

At this time, the name of the wrench was called 韘, which had appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and it was a tool used by archers to hold the bowstring and shoot their prey, and it was also called "duel". The traditional Han chime is slightly different from the Manchu and Mongolian wrench fingers, the Han chime is trapezoidal from the side, that is, one side is high and the other is low, while the Mongolian and Manchu wrenches are generally cylindrical.

The history of the wrench is very distant, for thousands of years, the shape of the wrench, there have been many styles. The most important ones are the slope wrench and the barrel wrench. The slope wrench appeared earlier, and there were string slots at the earliest, which were later abolished. In China, the slope wrench was used until the Ming Dynasty.

Abroad, Turkic-Turkic, Turkic, and Korean are still used today. During this period, various styles of wrenches existed. In Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, barrel wrenches were mainly used. The traditional Han wrench is slightly different from the Mongolian wrench: the Han wrench is trapezoidal from the side, that is, one side is high and the other is low, while the Mongolian and Manchu wrenches are generally cylindrical. Barrel wrenches were mainly excavated after the 14th century. After the 17th century, the Han people developed the wrench finger into jewelry.

Ancient Chinese archers did not pull the string with the index and middle fingers, as Western archers did, but pulled the bowstring with the thumb of the wrench.

This is the reason why archers in the East were able to shoot arrows in a volley.

After all, with that kind of archery in the West, it is indeed very difficult to shoot a few arrows in a salvo at once.

After Chen Heng shot three arrows at this time, he did not stop, but quickly took the arrows of the ranger knight beside him with his hand, and quickly pulled the bow again.

He knew that with just three arrows, it would be very difficult to deal with the Hun condor shooter. That's why he chose this way to shoot arrows again quickly.

After all, the speed of receiving arrows from others is faster than the speed of taking arrows from the quiver yourself.

Just as Chen Heng thought, the three arrows he shot out at the beginning were dodged by the other party after two were dodged, and then he used a scimitar to directly split the other one.

For Chen Heng, he had already been mentally prepared for such a situation, otherwise he would not have done this.

And after the second row of arrows was shot, what Chen Heng saw was this Hun eagle archer, the left chest was shot, and what he could see was that the other party was shot almost before he had time to react.

In this way, this Hun eagle archer was seriously injured, and the task of several of them was naturally much easier. After all, if the lungs are shot, it is difficult for a person to use more force. And the case of this Hun condor shooter belongs to this aspect.

......

And just as Chen Heng thought, after being shot in the left chest, it did have a very big impact on this Hun eagle shooter. He didn't expect the other party to be able to shoot a second row of arrows so quickly, which really made him unable to react.

However, he knew very well that he had been shot, and that he had completely failed in such a dying throze.

He thought for a moment, then glanced at the scimitar in his hand, which was directly aimed at his neck......

......

The death of the Hun condor shooter in this way was unexpected by many.

But before these people could figure out how they should help next, the entire battlefield situation changed considerably...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
