Chapter 7 Safari
The skill of shooting left and right bows is the way to riding and shooting. Even the Turks who are best at fighting immediately can draw bows left and right. This is definitely a rare skill.
At this point, Li Chongjiu secretly cried out. Thinking about it, it would be unfair to lose to Li Sanniang. Li Chongjiu originally practiced archery. He wanted an archer to fight with others. Isn’t this based on his own weaknesses and attacking others’ strengths?
But I can think so, but I can't say that. Because the men of Yan and Zhao in the north at that time needed to master both bow skills and close combat.
How to say it, look at the ancient Tang army. They carried arrow bags, carried long bows on their waists, held horizontal swords on their hands, could open bows in distances, and dared to compete for the first place in close proximity. These are the elite soldiers who swept the world. Each of the Tang soldiers had a bow.
"The Warriors" begins with the chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians and bows and arrows. This is the formation of the Tang army fighting.
Therefore, even if Li Chongjiu is good at shooting skills, he will lose to Li Sanniang, and there is no doubt that if he makes too many excuses, he will just make excuses for himself.
However, at the moment, Li Chongjiu can only shoot a small half of the three stone bows, and can barely shoot them, but it cannot exert its maximum power. Not to mention, a continuous bead arrow.
Li Chongjiu regretfully put the three stone bows into his skin and turned to take the two stone bows he used to use in daily life. He used this bow to practice on his usual occasions, and the silk threads on it also lost some flexibility.
However, in any case, this is also the most suitable weapon for Li Chongjiu before traveling through time. At that moment, Li Chongjiu weighed the bow in his hand, thinking that after traveling through time, he only inherited this body. I wonder how much the archery skills he had practiced before were still there.
So Li Chongjiu couldn't help but try his own bow technique. Li Chongjiu thought of it and did it, carrying half a pot of arrows on his back, took a short knife to defend himself, and went down the mountain alone.
Among the mountains of the Seven Thousand Villages, towering trees and stars are everywhere. Looking southwest, the Taihang Mountains, which are like a dragon, extend thousands of miles, and hundreds of ridges are connected, cutting off the transportation between the east and west.
In the vast mountains, the sky was shrouded in the sky, it was just early morning. It was midsummer, and birds and insects were singing. The grass on the ground had just passed its ankles, and the dewdrops in the morning penetrated into the trousers along the lowered grass leaves, soaked their feet wet. Li Chongjiu, who was plucking the grass up the mountain, was full of primitive scenery in front of him. There were woodcutters and hunters appearing in the mountains, and the singing mountain horns floated in the mountains from time to time.
Li Chongjiu walked along the way, and at first there was a grass path made by a nearby woodcutter, but as he entered the mountain, the grass path was no longer visible. There were many mountain rabbits jumping out in the mountains, and a few wild boars were passing through them. Autumn was approaching, and the living creatures in the mountains were all accumulating fat and preparing for winter. If you take one back, you will definitely be able to enjoy the food.
Seeing a rabbit in front of him jumping from the front, Li Chongjiu looked at the target and untied the bow bag. He did not directly take out the two stone bows, but took out a copper ring and put it on.
This copper ring is in a slope shape, with a finger cover exposed behind it (Note 1). The ring is used to protect the thumb when shooting archery. Ancient rings also had string grooves. At that time, the method of controlling strings was divided into Chinese and Hu techniques (Note 2). The Chinese method is the technique of controlling strings with the thumb. Because the Chinese method hooks the bow string with a big thumb, it is easy to get injured when shooting with a bare hands, so they must wear a ring.
At that moment, Li Chongjiu took out an arrow from the quiver pot behind him to hang the strings. Suddenly, Li Chongjiu, who had never had a bow and arrow in the past, felt very familiar with the bow and arrow at this moment. The feeling at this moment was like a first love who had been reunited for a long time, familiar and unfamiliar.
Li Chongji twisted the arrow with three fingers, added it to the bow, and received it with his left finger. Li Chongjiu's whole body was like a trunk, his arms were like branches, and his elbow could be taken away by the cup of water. After Li Chongjiu saw that he was about to take off the rabbit, the bow string slowly pushed out in his hand, and he pulled the string for a while, but it was not very difficult, which shows how strong his arm strength was.
With a whisper, the arrow feathers broke out of the string and shot out one step away from the rabbit. The rabbit was frightened by this and ran faster, and disappeared without a trace of grass.
Li Chongjiu shook his head. Seeing that the arrow was shot, he was not surprised. Consciousness was consciousness a thousand years later, and archery was the body of this era. The fusion of the two was not easy. It was impossible for him to reach the sky in one step. The fusion of this requires a process.
Now Li Chongjiu pulled out the arrow from the mud, put it in the quiver and continued to go up the mountain.
After trekking, he climbed over a mountain. Li Chongjiu met several goats on the way and decided to hunt. The hunting felt a little panicked. Li Chongjiu took a dead tree as a long stick, and used the long stick to pull the weeds on both sides while walking. Because he went deep into the mountains and forests, his feet were inevitably cut by grass, which hurts the thorns and rocks. When he met a mountain stream, he still had to trek past it. However, Li Chongjiu felt happy. The fun was even better than before. When he moved his fingers in front of the computer, he was happy to earn millions.
When he walked through noon, the sun was as deep as the highest point. Before he knew it, he kept climbing the mountains and climbing the mountains, and gradually he was far away from the mountain village. Li Chongjiu walked along the way, his forehead was covered with sweat like mud, and he was tightly pressed against his clothes. When he went deep into the mountains and forests, the mountain wind blew, but Li Chongjiu felt cool in wet clothes.
When he looked up, the sound of flowing water in front of him was a mountain spring hanging straight in front of him, but at the end was a cliff towering into the clouds. The mountain spring water was clear and flowing by, and Li Chongjiu had obviously lost his prey. However, he did not intend to hunt, but to use hunting methods to exercise his body as soon as possible and become familiar with archery techniques as soon as possible to integrate into this era. Seeing that the spring water was very shallow, Li Chongjiu took off his clothes and pants, drilled into the mountain spring, rubbing the old mud on his body. After taking a bath, he felt relieved. Although he did not succeed in hunting, he still lived up to this trip. After tied his hair bun in a very unscrupulous manner, Li Chongjiu put on his clothes and suddenly smelled a singing and laughing.
I saw three girls in their 20s and 20s, holding a basin of clothes in their hands, coming to the edge of the mountain spring. The three girls were wearing short jackets and long skirts. Although they did not have any bright beauty, they all had a simple meaning. They were obviously women from the local village. When they came here to wash clothes, they suddenly saw themselves, and they all had a hint of shame on their faces, lowered their heads, and it was difficult to move forward and retreat for a while.
Li Chongjiu laughed immediately and clasped his fists at several girls. When these three girls saw Li Chongjiu smiling openly and with a tall figure, they also returned the favor shyly.
A girl had a flushed cheek. Seeing that Li Chongjiu seemed to have a good impression, she boldly asked, and said, "Where is this big brother? Why have you never seen him?"
Li Chongjiu replied: "People nearby go into the mountains to hunt."
The other party said softly. At that moment, Li Chongjiu said goodbye to them, put on a longbow quiver on his back, 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 embarrassed by her two female companions.
When I came in a hurry, I was much easier to return. Li Chongjiu's ability to distinguish the road was still good. He used grass and trees to mark the grass along the way, and learned some knowledge of survival in the wild to identify the direction. On the way back, he continued to practice archery.
Li Chongjiu emptied more than ten arrows in front of the hare, roe deer, pheasant, and bird, and all of them were not hit. Seeing that the shooting technique was like this, as for the wild boar he encountered halfway, Li Chong would not provoke for the time being, and avoid it.
Shuving through the mountains, Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that he had read in the book that everyone's ancestors were hunters. Hunter was the first role played by humans in this world and the longest role. Safari was not only the process of ancient people exploring their own living space, but also an instinct for fighting and survival, and passed on to mankind for eternity. Li Chongjiu held a bow and arrow in his hand and rushed to hunt in the mountains. Halfway through the journey, Li Chongjiu suddenly discovered the target, which was the group of goats he had just chased and lost.
Now, these five or six goats played Li Chongjiu around and were lying down in a valley and eating grass quickly.
The goat is a kind of vigilant and suspicious animal. Li Chongjiu had already experienced it. Now he is eighty steps away from the goat, half a hillside. The goat is greedy for this piece of tender grass and does not look up, so Li Chongjiu did not notice it even when he approached.
Eighty steps are within the range of the killing range of the two stone bows.
It was Wufeng at this moment, and Li Chongjiu breathed evenly, placed the two stone bows in his hand on the top of his head, and then slowly flattened, gradually paralleling with his shoulders. Before holding the bow, his hand held the arrow with his finger to determine the position of the prey, and the arrow was on the right side of the bow and his eyes were on the left side of the bow. This is exactly what is said in the shooting technique. If the cluster does not have a finger, there will be no arrow in the middle. If the finger does not know the cluster, it is the same as the eyeless one.
This time, Li Chongjiu put all his strength into his bow, and his bow collapsed like a full moon. The arrow broke out from the string and broke through the air with a swaying sound.
The goat that was lying on the ground seemed to have noticed it, with its ears growing, its mouth holding tender grass, its eyes widened, and its head alertly raised. The arrows rushed in like lightning.
Scream!
The extremely bloody sound, the arrows penetrated the sheepskin, almost nothing was left, leaving only a snow-white arrow feather. When the blood splashed out, the other goats exploded and fled without any loyalty. The goat with an arrow on his back whistled, kicked his back legs, and ran around blindly.
Li Chongjiu was not willing to let his prey take off his hands. He immediately took a bow, drew out a short knife, and quickly chased the running goat.
Note 1: Unlike the cylindrical rings that were watched in Qing Palace dramas, the slope rings are always used by us Han people.
Because the finger rings are different, the Chinese and Manchus also have different string control techniques.
Note 2: The "Shu Jing" says: There are two methods for controlling strings: the ring finger is folded with the little finger, the middle finger presses the big finger, and the head finger is straight and upright, which is the Chinese method; the bend finger and the head finger presses the hook finger with the head finger, which is the Hu method.
Chinese law is the Mongolian-style shooting method commonly known as modern times, while Hu law is the Mediterranean-style shooting method.
Chinese law is conducive to step shooting, and strong power, while Hu law is beneficial to riding shooting, and weak power.
