Volume 1 Mishui Comes from the East Chapter 17 Shooting Herons
The white elk that Ou Xing rescued from the pit of Fuze is undoubtedly a great auspicious treasure.
Ou Xing didn't believe that Bai Elk had any supernatural powers, and it didn't matter. As long as others believe it, such as the county commander Dong Jun, it will be enough.
With this white elk, Ou Xing's hunting plan can be greatly optimized and upgraded.
However, the hunt is a matter for later. Now, there's something else going on.
Shoot birds.
At sunset, the lake shines on the flat sand, and the wind blows the reeds to the sunset. As the sun set, Ou Xing and his entourage hid in the reeds at the shallows, whispering, watching the small sandbar not far away, waiting for the flock of egrets to return to their nests.
"Quack~Quack~"
The chirping of a heron, like a duckling, resounded in the sky. At the intersection of water and sky, a flock of egrets flew over in the glow.
"Ah Le?" Ou Xing asked softly.
"There are 36 of them. 32 egrets, 4 herons. ”
After Ou Le finished answering, Ou Xing couldn't help but glance sideways at him. Looking up against the light, you can accurately distinguish the egret and heron in the distance, what an amazing eyesight!
Turning around, Ou Xing stared at the descending heron flock and whispered, "Don't wait for the heron flock to return to the nest." When the heron flock is about to fall, listen to my chirping, and the two and three sons will release arrows together! ”
"Yui." The crowd whispered.
In Ou Xing's hunting plan, the team of people who followed him today will go on the field to shoot on the day of the hunt.
Ou Xing took them to hunt herons at this time, and the main purpose was to conduct actual combat exercises.
When hunting, the blue sky and white sun are shining, and the herons will not obediently stay in the nest and let people shoot them.
It is a glorious tradition of our army that training is close to actual combat, and it is natural for the district star to learn one.
The reason why we do not wait for the heron to return to the nest is to increase the difficulty of shooting while it is flying, which is to get as close to the real situation as possible during the hunt and sharpen the archery skills of the tribesmen.
Facing the direction of the sun, I watched as the black dots in the glow got closer and bigger. Ou Xing stretched his bow and took arrows, his front hand was like pushing Mount Tai, and his back hand was like holding a tiger's tail. One punch is fixed, front and back straight, back elbow up, back pull the bowstring at a constant speed.
The eyes are attentive and the heart is reached, and the hands move with the heart. When the black dot showed a clear outline of the egret in the field of vision, Ou Xing's right hand had already pulled the bowstring behind his ear. He didn't hesitate and let go.
"Chirp~" Ming Di screamed and shot up.
"Huh~" 19 feather arrows followed.
"Drive!" 20 Horsemen rushed out of the reeds.
"13 out of 20!" The district musician completed the percussion assessment in an instant, and spoke loudly. The salvo in the first round of stationary state has a considerable hit rate!
"Color!" On the galloping horse, Ou Xing exclaimed loudly, and immediately ordered, "Pursue until sunset or the heron ends." ”
"Yui!" All the knights beat their horses and followed, answering in unison, and they were arrogant.
The wind is strong and the bamboo bow is roaring, and the young man hunts Luo City. The heron flies fast, the water is shallow, and the horse's hooves are light.
When the sun set and the moon rose, and when they returned to the temporary camp, the district star team brought back 25 egrets and 3 herons. They stop at sunset, not at the end of the heron.
Shooting the flying heron is still too difficult for Ou Jiaerlang at this stage.
After sunset, the lighting conditions are too poor, and if you go to explore or hunt, it will be the way to die.
What you have to do at night is to eat a good meal, get a good night's sleep, and recharge your energy. Tomorrow we will continue to explore the road during the day, and in the evening, we will continue to ambush the water birds.
Of course, for now, we need to deal with today's hunt first.
The athlete is hungry and shoots you to eat, and plucks your wings for arrow feathers.
A living egret can sharpen the archery skills of the children. For dead egrets, the meat can be used to feed their hunger, and the primary and secondary feathers can be used to make arrow feathers—the second-highest arrow feathers, which are only slightly inferior to the flagship Eagle Feathers.
When the arrow is fired, the middle end of the arrow will be bent (like a fish-like swing), and the feather will increase the swing resistance of the tail at this time, which in turn will neutralize the swing caused by this deformation, so that the arrow can return to a straight line faster.
For heavy arrows, the normal length of the feather cannot quickly and effectively produce swing resistance, so in the case of limited arrow length, the length and width of the arrow feather have to be lengthened to increase the resistance.
The matching light arrows of the Bhutanese bamboo bow and the Korean bow are barely enough for the arrow feathers of geese and even ducks.
However, the bamboo four heavy arrows that play the bow and clear the bow have to be feathered by birds of prey or large water birds.
Birds of prey are hard to come by, in order to ensure Ou Jiachong's arrow reserves, Ou Xing then extended his claws to Yunmeng Daze's large wading birds.
If it weren't for sharpening his sons' archery skills, Ou Xing would not have chosen the inefficient method of shooting birds after the birds—he would have already set up a bird-catching net.
Over the years, Ou Xing has done all the bad things, and countless large wading birds such as black storks, gray cranes, and egrets have died under his hands (under the order) - if according to the standards of later generations, it is enough to sentence him to life imprisonment until the birth of New China.
But Ou Xing can't take care of it so much.
The right to life comes first. The chaos is coming, and arming himself and his people as much as possible is his priority as a young patriarch.
"Shaojun, the heron is roasted."
"Good, hard."
"Where to shoot, the front hand is like pushing Mount Tai, and the back hand is like holding the tiger's tail. One punch is determined, and the front and back are upright; Slow open the bow, tighten the arrow" - "Ji Xiao New Book"
