Chapter 7 Safari (Second update)

The skill of drawing the bow left and right is the way of riding and shooting.Even the Turkic people who are best at fighting on horseback, there are very few people who can shoot left and right.This is absolutely impossible.

At this point, Li Chongjiu secretly complained.Thinking about it this way, it was not unfair to lose to Li Sanniang back then. Li Chongjiu originally mainly practiced archery.To ask an archer to fight a person hand-to-hand is not to use one's own weaknesses to attack others' strengths?

But you can think that way, but you can't say it that way.Because at that time the Yanzhao man in the northern land was a double master of archery and close hand-to-hand combat.

How to say, look at the ancient Tang army.With a quiver on your back, a longbow on your waist, and a horizontal knife in your hand, you can draw a bow in a long-distance battle, and dare to fight for the first place in close quarters. This is the elite that sweeps the world.Therefore, in the government army, each soldier of the Tang army must bring his own bow. At the beginning of "Soldiers and Chariots", the chariot phosphorus, the horse Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists.With a bow in hand, this is the formation of Tang Jun's battle.

Even though Li Chongjiu has good shooting skills, if he loses to Li Sanniang, he is defeated.But right now, Li Chongjiu could only open the three-stone bow for a little while, and could barely shoot it down, but he couldn't exert its full power.

Li Chongjiu put the three stone bows in his pocket with regret, and went to get the two stone bows he used every day.This bow is old by myself, and I use this bow for practice on weekdays, and the silk and hemp strands on it have lost some elasticity.

But no matter what, this is also the most suitable weapon for Li Chongjiu before crossing.So Li Chongjiu weighed the bow in his hand, thinking that after crossing, he just inherited this body, and he didn't know how much of the archery he had practiced before.

So Li Chongjiu couldn't help thinking of trying his own bow skills.Li Chongjiu did it when he thought of it, carried half a pot of arrows on his back, and took a short knife to defend himself, and went down the mountain alone.

In the mountains of Qiqian Village, there are towering trees everywhere.Looking to the southwest, the Taihang Mountains, like a black dragon, extend for thousands of miles, with hundreds of mountains interconnected, cutting off the east-west traffic.

Among the vast mountains, the sky was shrouded, and it was just early morning.It was midsummer at this time, and the birds and insects were singing.

The grass on the ground just reached the ankles, and the morning dew along the depressed grass blades seeped into the trousers, soaking the feet all wet.Pulling the grass up the mountain, Li Chongjiu, who was carrying a longbow, saw a primitive scenery in front of him.There are woodcutters and hunters hidden in the mountains, and the singing mountain chant floats in the mountains from time to time.

Li Chongjiu walked all the way, and at first there was a grass path trampled by nearby woodcutters, but as he went deeper into the mountain, the grass path had long since disappeared.There are many hares jumping away in the mountains, and one or two wild boars shuttled through during the period.Autumn is about to enter, and the living creatures in the mountains are accumulating fat for the winter. If they can bring one back, they will definitely be able to feast on their mouths.

When he sees a rabbit in front of him, he jumps in front of him.Li Chongjiu saw the target, and immediately untied the bow bag.He did not directly take out the two stone bows, but first took out a copper wrench and put it on.

This copper wrench finger is slope-shaped, and the finger cover is exposed at the back.Different from the wrench barrel seen in The Legend of Zhen Huan, the slope-shaped wrench is what the Han people have always used.

This slope-shaped wrench was used to protect the thumb during archery. At that time, the methods of string control were divided into Chinese method and Hu method (Note 2).Chinese method, the art of controlling the bowstring with the thumb.Hook the bowstring with your thumb, and it is easy to be injured when shooting with bare hands, so you must wear a spanner.

Li Chongjiu took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back to hang the string.Suddenly, Li Chongjiu, who had never used bows and arrows before, felt very familiar with bows and arrows at this moment.The feeling at this moment is like the first love girl reunited after a long absence, familiar and strange.

Li Chongjiu twisted the arrow with three fingers, put it on the bow, and received it with his left finger.As for Li Chongjiu, his body is straight like a trunk, his arms are straight like branches, and his elbows are raised flat, even if he puts a glass of water on it, he is still stable.After Li Chongjiu spotted the rabbit, he slowly pushed out the bowstring in his hand, pulling it full for a while, but it didn't take much effort.

You don't have to worry about being injured by the bowstring by using the finger to pull the string, so the bowstring can be drawn very long.According to the archery scriptures, when shooting an arrow, it should be drawn like a full moon, and the tail of the arrow should be pulled behind the ear.The principle is the same as firearms, the longer the barrel, the better the stability of the ballistic trajectory, and the fuller the bow, the farther and more accurate the arrow will be shot.

With a resounding sound, the arrow feathers flew out.But it shot one step away from the Tuo rabbit, and Tuo rabbit was frightened by this, ran faster, and disappeared into the grass.

Li Chongjiu shook his head. Consciousness is the consciousness after a thousand years, and archery is the body of this era. It will take some time for the fusion of the two.After Li Chongjiu pulled the arrow out from the grass mud, he put the arrow in the quiver and continued up the mountain.

Trek all the way, and turned over a mountain.Li Chongjiu met several goats on the road, and he decided to hunt them down.When hunting, they just ran around on the hills in a panic.Li Chongjiu took a dead wood substitute as a long stick, and beat the weeds on both sides with the long stick as he walked.Because of going deep into the mountains and forests, the grass cuts on the body and feet unavoidably, the thorns hurt, the mountains and rocks are fettered, and the road meets the mountain streams, and it is necessary to trek across.

But Li Chongjiu felt that he enjoyed it, which was more fun than the kind of fun in front of the computer, moving his fingers and earning millions.

Walking through to noon, the sun just rose to the highest point.Unknowingly, he continued to climb the mountain all the way, and gradually moved away from the cottage.Li Chongjiu trekked all the way, his forehead and body were covered with sweat like mud, tightly clinging to his clothes.Going deep into the mountain forest, the mountain wind hit, but Li Chongjiu felt cool in his wet clothes.

At this time, the sound of rushing water came, and a mountain spring hung directly in front of the eyes, but at the end was a towering cliff, and the mountain spring water was still clear, flowing past.Li Chongjiu had obviously chased his prey away, but his intention was not to hunt, but to use methods such as safari to exercise his body as soon as possible and become familiar with archery as soon as possible.

Seeing that the spring water was very shallow, Li Chongjiu immediately took off his clothes and pants, dived into the mountain spring, and rubbed the old mud on his body.After taking a bath, I suddenly felt happy and dripping, and I felt like I was living up to this trip. When I was in high spirits, I was still like a child, slapping the water surface, and tied her hair in a bun very uncomfortably. After Li Chongjiu put on his clothes, he suddenly heard There was a burst of singing and laughing.

I saw three [-]-year-old girls, holding a basin of clothes in their hands, coming to the edge of the mountain spring.These three girls were wearing short skirts and long skirts. Although they didn't have any gorgeous beauty, they all had a sense of simplicity, like the fresh air in the mountains and forests.They were obviously women from the local village, they came here to wash their clothes, and when they suddenly saw themselves, their faces were smeared with shame, their heads were lowered, and it was difficult to advance or retreat for a while.

Li Chongjiu looked at the three of them seriously, and immediately laughed, and clasped his fists at the girls.And the three girls saw Li Chongjiu smiling frankly, with a tall and straight figure, and they also liked Li Chongjiu and shyly returned the salute.

A young girl's cheeks were flushed, and she boldly asked, "Where is this big brother from, why have you never seen him before?"

Li Chongjiu replied: "People nearby, go to the mountains to shoot and hunt."

The other party let out a soft sound.At that moment Li Chongjiu bid farewell to them, carried the longbow and quiver on his back, and started the return journey.The girls behind looked at Li Chongjiu's back, whispered something, and laughed like silver bells.The girl who asked Li Chongjiu was obviously squeezed by two female companions.

Come in a hurry, return is much easier.Li Chongjiu's ability to identify the road is still good. He carved trees along the way to make marks, and identified the direction with some knowledge of survival in the wild through the past.On the way back, he continued to practice archery.

Li Chongjiu shot more than ten arrows at the hare, roe deer, pheasant, and bird, all of which missed.Seeing that his shooting skills are so good, as for the wild boar that he encountered halfway, Li Chongjiu decided not to provoke it for the time being, but to avoid it.

Traveling through the mountains, Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that it was said in the book that the ancestors of all people were hunters. Hunters are the first role played by human beings in this world, and also the role played for the longest time.Hunting is not only the process of ancient people exploring their own living space, but also an instinct of fighting for survival, which has been passed down by human beings through the ages.

Holding a bow and arrow, Li Chongjiu galloped and hunted in the mountains.Halfway through the journey, Li Chongjiu suddenly found the target, which was the group of goats he had lost just now.

Now these five or six goats, after playing around with Li Chongjiu for a while, are in a valley, bowing their heads and grazing quickly.

Goats are vigilant and suspicious animals, and Li Chongjiu has learned it a long time ago.Now he was eighty steps away from the goat, half a hillside high, and the goat was greedy for the tender grass and didn't raise its head, so Li Chongjiu didn't notice it when it got close.

Eighty steps is within the killing range of the two stone bows.

There was no wind at the moment, Li Chongjiu adjusted his breathing, put the two crossbows in his hands on top of his head, and then slowly lowered them to be parallel to his shoulders.Before holding the bow, the hand holds the arrow with the finger to determine the position of the prey, and the arrow is on the right side of the bow, and the eyes are on the left side of the bow.This is exactly what is said in archery, if the cluster does not hit the finger, it must miss the target.Refers to not knowing the cluster, the same as having no purpose.

This time Li Chongjiu mustered all his strength, and his bow collapsed like a full moon.The arrow flew out of the string and pierced through the air with a whistling sound.

The goat grazing on the ground seemed to be aware of it. Its ears were pricked up, its mouth was holding tender grass, its eyes were wide open, and it raised its head vigilantly.The arrow is as fast as lightning, piercing through quickly.

呲!
There was an extremely bloody sound, the arrow pierced through the sheepskin, and almost nothing was left, leaving only a snow-white arrow feather.The moment the blood spurted out, the rest of the goats exploded and ran for their lives without morality.And the goat with the arrow on its back let out a low cry, kicked its hind legs, and ran around blindly.

Li Chongjiu was not willing to let the prey go, so he immediately picked up his bow, drew out his short knife, and quickly chased after the running goat.

Note 1: It is said in "She Jing" that there are two ways to control the string: the ring finger folds the little finger, the middle finger presses the big finger, and the head finger acts as a vertical string, which is also the Chinese method; Law also.

The Chinese method is the Mongolian-style shooting method that is often said in modern times, and the Hu method is the Mediterranean-style shooting method.

The Chinese method is good for infantry and strong, while the Hu method is good for riding and weak.
