Chapter 19 The Marksmen of the Pre-Qin Period
readx;?? Su Lan is a high-level ranger professional, although he did not have his own experience like most professionals in the Great Qin Empire when he was young, but this does not mean that Su Lan's actual combat ability is very poor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the contrary, Su Lan, who has basically inherited the mantle of Su Jiao, can be called the leader of the younger generation of the Great Qin Empire.
Of course, this young generation does not include Zhang Jiashi, after all, if you compare with Zhang Jiashi, many young and handsome people in the Great Qin Empire do not have Zhang Jiashi's miraculous experience.
Chen Heng is older, but he is far more experienced than Su Ling.
Chen Heng is a veteran soldier, although before he met Zhang Jiashi, Chen Heng was just an ordinary Qin army commander, but in terms of combat experience in this regard, Chen Heng is richer than many middle and senior officers under Zhang Jiashi. Because in the battle of Qin against Zhao in 227 BC, Chen Heng experienced his first battlefield career.
Therefore, Chen Heng's official position is not high, but the battles he has experienced are even better than those of Su Jiao and Yujian, two middle and senior officers who were originally subordinate to the Northern Xinjiang Army.
After knowing that the Huns actually sent an eagle archer, Chen Heng and Su Xuan formulated corresponding tactics after a little summing up.
......
The tactics developed by the two were mainly to open the way with their own soldiers, and then when approaching the condor archer, they quickly formed a temporary professional team composed of two rangers, three wrestlers and three marksmen, and launched a fierce attack on each other.
This tactic is a great threat to an eagle archer, although the eagle archer's archery skills are very strong, but for the harassment of so many professionals, especially Chen Heng, a high-level marksman, the combat level that the other party can play is not too high.
For Chen Heng, he did have a lot of pressure in the face of this Condor Shooter, but he knew that he would be in this battle, and it would be possible to break through the bottleneck that he had been unable to progress.
The real confrontation between life and death can often bring out the best in a person.
Of course, Chen Heng didn't think about single-handedly picking up an eagle archer, because of this kind of thing, Chen Heng would not be stupid enough to do this, because the strength difference between the two sides was too far.
Perhaps, there are some unbelievable people in this world who fight the strong with the weak, such as Zhang Jiashi, who can be called an open hanger. But more, once the difference in strength is too far, the end can be imagined.
In Zhang Jiashi's original world, there is a sentence that is not known to most people now, but it just fits the description of this situation, that is, one force will drop ten meetings.
The source of one force to ten will come from the fiftieth chapter of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness": "Although Han Ye's skills are strong, he suffers from the weakness of his strength; "Naturally, such a situation cannot be known to people at this time.
Except for Zhang Jiashi, no one has heard of this sentence.
But the meaning of this sentence itself is very reasonable, that is, all stratagems are useless in the face of absolute strength.
Although Chen Heng didn't know the sentence of one force to descend ten meetings, he knew that if he went head-to-head with this Hun eagle archer, then it was very likely that he would be the one who died, and he couldn't even seriously injure the other party.
Although there is no shortage of marksmen in the Great Qin Empire, generally speaking, the marksmen in the army are generally middle and low-level officers, and their own strength level is not high, while the archery skills of top masters such as Wang Li are average. Therefore, a top-level marksman can be said to be a more scarce existence than a spell professional.
In the history before this, there was no shortage of real marksmen in the Central Plains, such as Hou Yi, Feiwei, Ji Chang and Yang Youji.
Hou Yi out of mythology and the classic descriptions in the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" and "Historical Records":
The mythical Hou Yi is mainly from "Huainanzi. The record of shooting the sun in the "Spiritual Training" and the corresponding record of killing evil beasts:
In "Huainanzi. The record of "Lan Shen Xun" is: In the era of Yi Qi Fangxun (Emperor Yao), Yi was Tang Yao's archer, and was sealed in Shangqiu by Tang Yao, and welcomed Chang'e, the daughter of Emperor Yu, as his wife. There were ten suns in the sky, the grass and trees were burned, and the crops were scorched, and Yi Qi Fangxun (also known as Yi Qi Fangxun, that is, Yao) invited Dayi (it was Dayi who shot the sun, not Houyi), and shot down nine suns in a row, and from then on the earth the climate was suitable, and all things could grow. And he shot the beast and the viper, and did the evil to the people. Therefore, the people worshipped him as the god of arrows.
The corresponding records of the killing of evil beasts are as follows: shooting and killing the rampant evil in the Central Plains; the dolphin was a big wild boar that lived in the mulberry forest and was killed by Yi; Dayi went to the north to kill the nine babies in order to take the realgar; after taking the realgar, Dayi went to Dongting to kill the snake; an arrow was in the middle of the tooth and heart; and with the help of Wu Chengzi, he killed the wind and Qingqiu.
In the description of the corresponding historical classics, Hou Yi is the monarch of a poor country.
"The Fourth Year of Xianggong": Xun Xing flatters the inside and bribes the outside, fools his people and Yu Yi in the field, and the tree deceives to take his country, and the outside and the inside are salty. Yi is still unrestrained, and will return to Zitian, and the family will kill and hunt him, so as to eat his son. His son could not bear to eat and died in poverty.
Sima Qian, "Historical Records, Volume II, Xia Benji II", Kang collapsed, and the emperors stood together. The emperor collapsed, and the son emperor Shao Kangli. Wei Zhuangzi said: "In the past, there was the decline of Xia, and Hou Yi moved to Poor Stone from Jiao, and replaced Xia Zheng because of the Xia people. Relying on his shooting, he does not repair personnel, and he trusts Birming's slander to Han Xun. Xun kills Yi, cooks it, eats his son, and the son can't bear to eat, so he kills the poor door. Xun Yin Yi room, raw water and pigs.
But whether it is from the description in historical classics or in terms of myths and legends, Hou Yi's archery skills are indeed unique in the world.
And Feiwei and Ji Chang are the main sources of folklore Ji Chang learned to shoot.
On the surface, Ji Chang is the protagonist and the only marksman among them. But watching the legend translation, you can know that Feiwei is also a very skilled marksman:
Feiwei accepted a man named Ji Chang as an apprentice.
Feiwei said to Ji Chang: "You must first learn to stare at a target without blinking, and then you can talk about learning archery." After Ji Chang returned, he lay under his wife's loom, watching the shuttle shuttle back and forth from bottom to top with his eyes.
After persisting like this for two years, even if the tip of the awl touched Ji Chang's eye socket upside down, his eyes would not blink. So Ji Chang went to find Feiwei again.
"That's not enough, you also have to learn the art of seeing with your eyes," said Feiwei. I have to practice to be able to see small things as big things, to be able to see small things clearly, and then come back to me. After Ji Chang went back, he hung the lice on the window with the hair of the yak's tail, and he watched the lice every day, and in ten days, Ji Chang saw that the lice gradually grew larger. After three years like this, in Ji Chang's eyes, lice have become as big as wheels.
If you look at other things, it's as big as a hill. So, Ji Chang shot at the louse with an arrow, and the arrow passed through the center of the lice, and the tail hair of the hanging lice was not broken. Ji Chang hurried to tell Feiwei. Feiwei jumped up for joy, patted his chest and said, "You've learned the art of archery!"
After Ji Chang learned all the kung fu of Feiwei, he felt that only Feiwei could match him in the whole world, so he planned to get rid of Feiwei. Finally, one day the two met in the wild.
Ji Chang and Feiwei both shot arrows at each other, and the arrows shot by the two of them collided in the air, and both fell to the ground. In the end, Feiwei's arrow was finished, and Ji Chang still had the last one left, he shot it, and Feiwei hurriedly raised the thorns beside him to poke the flying arrow, blocking the arrow exactly as it was. So both of them threw their bows and hugged each other and wept, believing each other father and son, and vowed not to pass on this technique to anyone again.
From the content of the second half, it can be known that Feiwei's skills are no less than Ji Chang, who has already learned.
As for Yoyuki, he is the only historical figure who can be conclusively proven to exist.
There is such a record in "Warring States Policy: Western Zhou Policy": "Chu has a person who raises the foundation, is good at shooting, goes to the willow leaf and shoots it in a hundred steps, and hits a hundred shots." β
And according to some legends, Yoyuki's archery technique was even able to easily penetrate seven layers of cortical armor.
As a real person, Yoyuki's record is clear:
During the reign of King Chuzhuang, Ling Yin (equivalent to the prime minister) rebelled against Yuejiao. Zhuang Wang Zhang Bang recruited: "The one who wins the pepper is Ling Yin." "The school soldiers are raised from the base, and they are willing to shoot three arrows with each other. Dou three arrows missed, and one arrow from Ji killed him. It is called "raising an arrow". Zhuang Wang Nuo to order Yin, recommended by Uncle Sun Ao, from the right of the car. However, there is often a pleasant color.
On June 28, the sixteenth year of the reign of King Chu (575 B.C.), before the battle of Jin and Chu Yanling, Yang Youji and Pan Dang, the son of Pan Yan, competed in archery and shot the leather armor on top of each other. After penetrating the seventh layer, he showed it to the king of Chu Gong and said, "The king has such two subordinates here, what is there to fear?"
The king of Chu Gong was angry and said: "What a shame! Tomorrow morning in battle, you will shoot arrows, and you will die in this martial art." "When the battle came, the Jin general Lu Qi shot the King of Chu in the eye. The king of Chu summoned Yang Youji, gave him two arrows, and asked him to shoot LΓΌ Qi. Yang Yuji shot Lu Qi in the neck, and Lu Qi lay down in the car and died. Yang Youji took the remaining one to the king of Chu Gong, and since then Yang Youji has been shaking the Chu country.
When the Jin army forced the Chu army into a dangerous area, Shu Shanran, the minister of the Chu state, said to Yang Youji: "Although the monarch has an order, for the sake of the country, you must shoot arrows." "Yang Youji shot at the Jin army, Yang Youji's arrows were not missed, and the shooting targets he identified were all killed.
In the thirty-first year of the reign of King Chu (560 BC), King Gong of Chu died, and his son King Chu Kang succeeded to the throne, and Wu took the opportunity to invade the eastern border of Chu. Yang Youji quickly rushed to the Wu army, and ordered Yin Zigeng to lead the army to follow. Yang Youji said: "Wu Guo, taking advantage of the funeral in our country, thinks that we will not send troops, and will definitely despise us without being vigilant. You set up three ambushes to wait for me, and I will lure them. Zi Geng followed Yang Yuji's advice. The armies of Wu and Chu fought at Yongpu (present-day Wuwei County, Anhui Province), and the Chu army defeated the Wu army and captured the Wu army's general, Gongzi Dang.
In the second year of King Chu Kang (558 B.C.), King Chu Kang appointed Yang Youji as the palace stable, and his subsequent deeds are unknown.
......
The allusion to Yoyuki is very real, and it can also show from the side that Yoyuki is an old and strong man.
In ancient Chinese history, there were many military generals who went to the battlefield in their seventies, and among the four famous generals of the Warring States who were respected by later generations, there were Bai Qi, Lian Po and Wang Jian who fought until they were sixty or seventy years old or even older.
Judging from the career of Yang Youji, in the ninth year of King Chuzhuang (605 BC), Ma Jiao imprisoned and killed Pu Jia with the armed forces of the Ruoao tribe, and launched an attack on the royal family based on Haoye. The rebellion was ultimately defeated, and Ziyue himself was killed in the rebellion,[9] while his son, Emperor Miao Ben, fled to the Jin state. Afterwards, most of the forces of the Ruoao tribe were wiped out.
At this time, Yang Youji was recruited by the King of Chu Zhuang and should have been twenty years old or older, if the records of the thirty-first year of the reign of the King of Chu (560 BC) are concerned, Yang Youji should have been around sixty-five years old at that time, and looking at the corresponding records later, it is very likely that this ancient excellent marksman died of illness in 558 BC.
And after Zhang Jiashi learned about this, he also felt that the physique of the ancients really could not be underestimated.
But he soon discovered a situation, that is, the Battle of Yanling In Zhang Jiashi's Qingyu Lingshu recorded in a novel "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", the Battle of Yanling took place in the eighth year of Lu Chenggong (581 BC), and in the history books, the Battle of Yanling took place in 575 BC.
After Zhang Jiashi expressed his doubts, he couldn't help but cause Bai Qi to vomit: "In that kind of novel record, you really lost." β
Well, in the face of this situation, Zhang Jiashi has to say that he did lose, and lost in things that have no real comparative significance.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After Yoyuki, there is also a very famous marksman. Or rather, he is a marksman who is good at using psychological warfare. That is, the ministers of Wei during the Warring States period won more.
As for why he is a master of psychological warfare, it is mainly because the origin of the idiom Bird of the Bow Frightened happened to him:
One day, Geng Yi and King Wei were standing under the high platform and looked up to see flying birds.
At this time, Geng Yan said to the king of Wei: "I only need to pluck a bowstring, and I can shoot the bird to death in front of your eyes." King Wei said, "Is the archery skill so superb?"
He said, "Yes." β
After a while, a wild goose flew in from the east, and with a single arrow, it fell to the ground.
King Wei said, "But how can this result occur in the false shot?"
He said, "Because it's a sick goose." β
King Wei said, "How do you know?"
"This goose flies very slowly, and it cries in a sad voice. It flies slowly because of the pain of its old wounds, and its cry is sad because it leaves the flock, and it is frightened and frightened when it hears the sound of the bowstring, so that its old wounds rupture and fall.
From this allusion, it can be seen that the more winning archery is based on the opponent's keen observation ability and the accumulation of life experience.
And the more winning archery may not be as good as Yang Yuji, but according to Bai Qi's understanding, if more wins meet Yang Yuji, the latter may not be able to solve the more winning as easily as dealing with Lu Qi, and may even suffer losses in the more winning hands.
Zhang Jiashi, who heard Bai Qi's words, couldn't help but nodded, but then he thought of a situation, that is, how good was Bai Qi's archery skills......
And Bai Qi said a sentence that made Zhang Jiashi speechless: "My archery skills are naturally not as good as these marksmen, but compared to you...... You know. β
Hearing the tone from the later generations again, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but show a somewhat happy embarrassed smile.
