The most important thing is that the world can't keep it.

……

Persian General Alberts saw that everyone was paying attention, listened with gusto, and spoke more passionately.

Persian General Alberts said: "The last difficulty in riding and archery lies in the cooperation between the rider and the bow and arrow.

Cavalry often shoot arrows when their horses are charging. At this time, the waves are up and down and the horses' backs are very bumpy. It is very difficult to shoot accurately.The key is to grasp the timing of the arrow.

Usually, when people and horses reach the highest point of the wave, they will hang in the air for a moment, and then fall down. This moment is the best opportunity to shoot arrows.Accurate mastery requires years of practice.

However, this is only the beginning of riding and shooting. "

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.Everyone talked about it, it's so difficult, and it's just the beginning of riding and shooting.Is this still alive?
Bai Fu smiled and said: "What General Alberts said is true. Due to the complexity and changeability of the battlefield, the cavalry, in addition to frontal attack, often have different tactics such as moving back to outflank, chasing and harassing, or blocking the rear chasing troops. Therefore, There are many changes in the art of riding and shooting.

Taking right-handed cavalry as an example, it is easiest to shoot to the front left, followed by forward and backward.Shooting an arrow to the left is called Duipeng; shooting an arrow to the front and to the right in a small area is called Fenzong; shooting right behind is called Moqiu.

It is relatively easy to kick, split the mane and wipe the autumn, but the most difficult thing is to shoot the arrow to the right.Because the left hand holds the bow and the right hand draws the string, it is difficult to point the bow and arrow to the right on horseback.

If an enemy suddenly appears on the right side of the front, the cavalry needs to adjust the direction of the horse first so that the enemy is within its attack angle;

Or a cavalryman on a galloping horse would need to make a difficult body position adjustment so that the bow and arrow would point to the right;

In this case, a well-trained and excellent cavalry can switch to holding the bow with the right hand, drawing the string with the left hand, and being able to swing the bow left and right!Thereby ensuring that there are no dead spots where bows and arrows cannot shoot.

If none of these cavalry can do it, you can only select some left-handed cavalry to form a team together when forming a cavalry phalanx to deal with the target enemy that suddenly appears from the right wing. "

Although the disciples of the Chuan Gang are highly skilled in martial arts, almost none of them have participated in large-scale battles.Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and once again felt the difference between bloody battles on the battlefield and street fights.If you haven't been on the battlefield, who would think about these issues.

Persian General Alberts continued: "As I said just now, horses are very easily frightened animals. As far as mounted archery is concerned, the bow and arrow that constantly changes the shooting angle and position on horseback will be frightened by the sound of the bowstring. to the horse.

All these need to be used in the usual training.For example, you can use a bow and arrow to rub the horse's nose, forehead and other parts on weekdays.From time to time, the bowstring is plucked on the horse's back, so that the horse gradually adapts to the sound of the bowstring.

It is especially emphasized that after the horse adapts to the bow and arrow on the left side of the horse's back and the sound of the bowstring, if the bow and arrow are taken to the right side of the horse to shoot arrows, the horse needs to be adapted again.

In addition, cavalry usually carry weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, and spears with them. The use of these weapons requires the horses to adapt to them on a daily basis.

Only in this way, in the face of the scene of charging into battle and screaming and killing, the horses will not be frightened and out of control, and can still maintain a high level of fighting state. "

……

In order to let everyone have a personal experience, Persian General Alberts invited Bai Fu to demonstrate to everyone.

Bai Fu didn't say much, picked up the bow and arrow "Jia Zi", and flew on the horse.The tiger leopard roared and rushed out of the fence.

No matter how many cavalrymen in the venue waved their weapons and screamed, or there were sudden loud noises and explosions, tigers and leopards turned a blind eye to these external factors, and steadily followed Bai Fu's instructions to make various actions such as accelerating, advancing, turning, decelerating, and jumping. Tactical action.

At the same time, Bai Fu also made different archery movements on horseback, leaning forward, leaning back, yielding sideways, and even hiding in the stirrups and other difficult movements, and the arrows were worthwhile.

Hearing a beep, an iron cage opened, and dozens of hares sprang out from the cage, moving swiftly and running away in all directions.

Bai Fu's momentum is like chasing the wind, and his eyes are like chasing electricity.Open the bow fully and release the arrow quickly.The rate of fire suddenly accelerated, and the arrows shot out like lightning, as fast as lightning.

Bai Fu's movements were so fast that everyone couldn't see Bai Fu's shooting posture clearly. In a trance, they only felt that Bai Fu seemed to have eight arms, and he shot dozens of powerful arrows at a time.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.The speed of the arrow is so fast, within a hundred steps, there is almost no possibility of dodging.

……

The arrows in Bai Fu's quiver were quickly exhausted, but there were still seven or eight hares fleeing, so Bai Fu did not go back to the camp to get the arrows.

The tiger and the leopard jumped over the hare's head and landed in front of the hare without slowing down.

Bai Fu hooked one foot into the stirrup, hung his body under the belly of the horse on the other side, leaned forward to the ground, and picked up several sharp arrows from the ground that everyone missed just now.

Bai Fu then hung his body backwards on the side of the saddle, and shot several arrows in a row to the rear—it was the deadly arrow method used to win victory in defeat on the battlefield.

As soon as the hares tried to turn around and flee, their eyes were pierced by these arrows and they were killed by one arrow.

Only then did the disciples notice that the stirrups of tigers and leopards are different from other horses. There is a belt connecting the stirrups from the underside of the horse's belly. It is through the belt between the two horses that Bai Fu borrows strength from each other to complete such a difficult movement.

……

Two chariots came galloping from a distance, each with a human-shaped wooden stake, each protected by a thick iron shield.

Bai Fu draws his bow and sets his arrows, his front hand is like pushing a mountain, and his back hand is like holding a tiger's tail.Through the shaft of the arrow, the true energy of Xunkan's two tripods was condensed on the tip of the arrow.The two strands of zhenqi blended together, like a twisted twist, forming a spiral force.

When an arrow was shot, there was the sound of wind and thunder breaking through the sky.When the point of the arrow hit the iron shield, the condensed Xunkan Qi instantly exploded with a thunderbolt, smashing several iron shields into powder like a lightning strike.

Bai Fuxun's Kangang Qi was so domineering that the onlookers' hearts surged and they burst into applause.

Dian Meng usually boasted that he was born with supernatural power and vigor, but when he saw this arrow, he was dumbfounded.It is unheard of to be able to condense stellar energy and not dissipate it instantly after leaving the body.

……

Bai Fu switched bows and arrows, holding the bow in his right hand and drawing the string with his left.Hold the arched surface with the palm, hook the index finger and arch the back, the center is like an eagle's beak, and draw the string to sweep the chest.

This time, he released Xunkan's two tripods at different speeds. The Xunding tripod's true energy is abundant and fast, and the Kanding's true energy is restrained, and then it is powerful.The two streams of true qi reflected each other on the arrow, pulling each other and forming a whirl.

I saw the arrow turned into a red line, crossed a perfect arc, bypassed the heavy iron shield, and hit the human-shaped wooden post from the other side of the carriage.Like a round moon scimitar, it cut off the head of the wooden post.

The use of this kind of true energy is exactly the kung fu that Bai Fu realized from Wu Daozi's "Wu Dai Dangfeng" pen.

Applying this kung fu to Bai Fu's archery archery method passed down by Zhao Kunlun, the archery archery method has been completely reborn, and the arrow has entered the realm of transformation.

……

There was no sound in the school grounds, and no one could believe the scene in front of them.

Even Alberts, the famous horseman and archer, was dumbfounded, and thanked the true god Ahura Maz for making Bai Fu a friend instead of an enemy...

……

In order to cooperate with Bai Fu's training, Persian general Alberts gave Bai Fu all the more than 300 Dashi horses he brought from Dashi.They also bought hundreds of horses with large sums of money from Persian, Sogdian and other Hu merchants living in Chang'an and Luoyang.It is basically guaranteed that each soldier has a horse.

The food horse is known as the desert elf. It has a small head and big eyes, a straight neck and a wide forehead, a short and powerful back, a well-proportioned and graceful body, a kind and intelligent temperament, and a high degree of alertness. It is very suitable for use as a war horse.

The disciples of Bashu were overjoyed to see such a good horse, and couldn't put it down.

With Bai Fu's peerless arrow, in the days that followed, none of the Bashu disciples dared to claim to be superior in martial arts, and everyone practiced riding and archery in a down-to-earth manner.Day after day, something will happen.
