After the training, Bai Yang and his wife returned the spotted pimple tiger to the store owner and took "Gaofeng" home.Yang Yichan was excited like a bird in spring, chirping and laughing non-stop.

Yang Yichan's face was shining brightly, and she narrated the grand occasion of yesterday's military parade: "Brother Fu, you know, when I rode the horse and galloped, I really had a feeling of flesh and blood with my comrades-in-arms, life and death. To protect the family Be proud of defending the country, be proud of raising our country's prestige, even if blood stains the battlefield and sacrifices one's life!".

Bai Fu saw the majestic and majestic picture of the Tang army, and he said enviously: "'The yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and it will never be returned if it doesn't break Loulan'. It's much better to think about it than we spend every day in the school. gone."

Yang Yichan comforted: "Brother Fu, don't be discouraged. There are many nobles in Chang'an, and there are many opportunities. Your martial arts skills will definitely have a bright future."

Bai Fu's eyes dimmed, and he immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile, "What Yang Mei said is that our grades are still young, and there are plenty of opportunities."

Yang Yichan also quickly changed the subject and asked, "Brother Fu, His Royal Highness King Yong's horseback riding and archery skills are really good. The kung fu of Jianghu sects focuses on fists, feet, swords, moving and attacking. Our batch of martial arts Among them, few are good at riding and archery.

Brother Fu, your arrow skills are also superb, you can even hunt and kill the terrifying giant beasts and giant pythons in the Nether Valley.I used to take it for granted that you have high martial arts skills and good archery skills.Only now do I know that martial arts in gladiatorial combat and battlefield are completely different.Brother Fu, there must be a source for your arrows, right?Have you also received advice from a famous teacher? "

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Speaking of luck, when I was in Chengdu for a free clinic, I just caught up with Zhao Wushu returning to Chengdu to change his defense. This archery technique was taught by Zhao Wushu himself."

The Fifth Uncle Zhao mentioned by Bai Fu is Jiang Yinnong's fifth younger brother Lion Roar Zhao Kunlun.He is the descendant of Zhao Zilong in Changshan, martial arts is world-class, he is upright and kind, and he is upright. He is now leading the army and guarding the throat of Bashu - Jianmen Pass.

At that time, Huang Zhong, the later general of the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, was more than a few years old, and he still galloped on the battlefield, winning the three armies with courage.Relying on two magic weapons:

The first treasure is Huang Zhong's invincible archery technique.When General Guan Yu wanted to seize Changsha County, General Huang Lao fought for [-] rounds with no end in sight.General Huang stumbled and fell to the ground.But General Guan didn't take the opportunity to kill General Huang, but let him go.

The next day, General Huang planned to lure General Guan Yu, and in order to repay General Guan's favor of not killing him, he only shot General Guan's helmet tassel.

The second treasure, the Red Blood Knife.This knife was obtained by Huang Zhong when he was helping Liu Bei to pacify Nanjun. The blade is red, its color is like blood, and it cuts iron like mud.

When facing Cao Wei general Xia Houyuan in Hanzhong, facing Cao Jun's four hundred elites, Huang Zhong must advance.In this battle, Huang Zhong used the red blood knife to slash more than 100 elite Cao soldiers, and beheaded the main general Xia Houyuan in Nanwei Antlers.Since then, this knife has become famous all over the world.

During the Battle of Hanzhong, General Huang Lao and General Zhao Yun went to rob Cao Jun's food and grass, but were ambushed by Wei Jun Xu Huang and Zhang Yun. Fortunately, General Zilong came to rescue in time, and the defeat turned into victory.

General Huang once had a son, Huang Xu, but died young, leaving General Huang with no descendants.In order to thank General Zilong for his life-saving grace, and at the same time, to prevent this set of archery from being lost, General Huang passed the shooting arrow method and the red blood sword to General Zilong.

……

While talking, the two had already arrived at the Bashu Guild Hall.Yang Yichan was very interested in learning today, and asked: "What is the key to this shooting method? Is it suitable for riding and shooting?"

Bai Fu was very happy to see that Yang Yichan was eager to learn. He went back to the house and took out his bow and arrows, and brought Yang Yichan to the school martial arts field in the backyard of the guild hall.

Bai Fu said: "General Huang's archery technique is not only the secret book of archery, but also the actual combat experience on the battlefield, which is of extraordinary value. Learning the technique of archery requires both internal and external training, and it must be accumulated over time. Today, you should memorize the formula first. In the future, I will practice and understand at the same time.

Tips for external training: "Body straight, forceful and peaceful, draw the bow skillfully, stretch the tendons calmly, push forward and walk backward, the bow is fully formed." '

Internal cultivation tips: "Shot at the target, aim at the heart, infuse energy carefully, move internally and strengthen externally, strengthen the front and cast back, draw the bow and relax. '"

Bai Fu first explained the archery technique of the step bow, saying: "Whenever you shoot, your front legs are like prongs, and your back is like a lame. It changes with the arrow, only the back feet."

Bai Fu asked Yang Yichan to hold the bow, and explained the archery technique hand in hand: "Look, sister Yang, when holding the bow with the left hand, the upper tip of the bow arm must be slightly bent, the left palm rests on the surface of the bow, the index finger hooks the back, and the center is like an eagle's beak. The remaining three fingers and the thumb hold the bow tightly. This is the front hand like pushing Mount Tai.

The right hand is focused on the bowstring, the index finger clasps the thumb, and the other three fingers hold the palm tightly, pulling the string and sweeping the chest.This is like holding a tiger's tail with the back hand.

One punch decides, front and back are straight.Open the bow fully and release the arrow tightly. "

……

After Yang Yichan mastered these few basic movements, Bai Fu got on his horse and bent his bow in a pose. The bow opened to a full moon, with skillful movements and graceful postures.

Bai Fu said: "Except for legwork, the upper body movements of the horse bow are the same as that of the step bow. When riding and shooting, the momentum is like chasing the wind, and the eyes are like chasing electricity. Open the bow fully and release the arrow quickly."

……

After correcting the archery posture and technique, Bai Fu made gestures and strokes on the sand, explaining the core points of the secret book of shooting arrows:

"Shooting and archery focuses on killing the enemy on the battlefield. It is all practical methods and is divided into fourteen chapters: general theory, sharp weapon, discernment, clear plan, righteous will, body method, technique, foot method, eye method, examination and solidification, and pointing." Machine, horse archery, magic, test work. There are many essentials and secrets in each section.

The four-character tactic of shooting: 'full score in examination and solidity'.Hold the bow and want to be firm, draw the bow and want to be full, look at what you want to judge, and shoot the arrow and want to divide.That is to say, the bow must be held firmly, the bow must be fully drawn, the aim must be checked, and the arrow must be separated.In archery, don't pay too much attention to whether you can hit the target, but first master the posture and hold the bow stably before you can start.Righteousness and nourishment are the foundation of archery.

The bow and arrow is called the power of a hundred steps because it can kill the enemy at a hundred steps away.So the power of the bow and arrow lies in hitting the enemy, not shooting the target.

Zhao Wushu looked down on the archery of the Great Tang Martial Arts Examination, and scoffed at the archery of this kind of trial as "the arrow of fame and fame", which is a show.Uncle Zhao Wu said that even if he practiced this kind of archery with a hundred steps, he could only get a reputation. When he faced the enemy on the battlefield, he would panic and be stretched.

This is the difference between shooting an enemy and shooting a target.It is more important to shoot the enemy quickly than it is to shoot the target calmly.The demeanor is calm, so that it is easy to draw the bow and adjust the posture, so that you can shoot a distant target.Rapid fire is to use a strong bow and heavy arrows, close to the enemy and then fire, every shot must hit.
