117. Cold arrows hurt people
Wang Er and Zhu Yuanzhang, with thirty-five elite soldiers, played a hide-and-seek game with Yang Hong in the vast Huanglong Mountain area, and installed a trap to the east and a clip to the west. The officers and soldiers walked carefully, not wanting to step on these messy things anymore. At the beginning, it was fine, but the officers and soldiers eliminated several traps in succession, but as Wang Er's cold arrows also joined in, the situation changed drastically.
A soldier in charge of the road was walking with a strong spirit. While walking, he used his spear in his hand to pull and test the ground. Soon, he discovered a trap buried by grass leaves. The soldier was quite happy for his discovery and shouted: "Brothers, I found another trap here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly flew out behind the rocks dozens of meters away in front of him. The arrow was made very simple. At first glance, you can tell that it was a ragged product made by the people. However, its flight speed was very fast. It can be seen that the arrow was extremely powerful. This was the arrow shot by Wang Er himself. He was strong and had divine power on his arms, so he used a two-stone hunting bow. The arrow shot from such a bow was truly infinite.
In ancient China, "stone" was a unit of measurement, which actually means "load". "One stone of rice" is actually "one load of rice", and a stone bow is a bow that can only be pulled by lifting a load of rice. Well, I know that such a unit of measurement is too nonsense and inaccurate, because a load of rice is the meaning of multiple weights. This is an uncertain thing. The burden can be big and small, and according to the way of loading rice, it is difficult to say clearly how much rice is. But ancient Chinese people liked to measure it like this, and we can't do it! They can only understand "one stone" as weighing more than one hundred pounds, which is the weight of rice that an adult man can carry with a load.
The so-called one stone bow is a bow that can be pulled out by more than one hundred pounds of arm strength, while the two stone bow is a bow that can be pulled out by more than two hundred pounds of arm strength. More than two hundred pounds of arm strength in the hand is amazing. Only heroes can afford it.
Some book friends who read a lot of books may think that Ershigong is not good, because some books often write that a certain hero can open a five-stone bow. For example, it was written in "History of Ming Dynasty" that there is a 70-year-old general named Zhang Ling in Sichuan who can open a five-stone bow, and he will win every opportunity! If you take this record in "History of Ming Dynasty" seriously, it is really wrong!
Because "History of Ming Dynasty" also has a nickname: a fantasy novel in history books!
"History of Ming Dynasty" was written and revised by the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and was filled with many messy and treacherous things. For example, "History of Ming Dynasty" wrote a man named Zhu Xieyuan. How did he write it? In order to prevent everyone from saying that I would slander "History of Ming Dynasty", I will just pick a paragraph: (Zhu Xieyuan) When he was in Shaanxi, he met an old man who came back and got his hands on him, and he got all the wind and corners, and the divination of the Dunjia technique. He was about to part, and he said to Xieyuan: "Fortunately I love you, there will be something in the southwest in the future, so I will take it." The people in Jiang Mou Kangmin were strange soldiers. Before the soldiers started, they said to people: "There is a change in Shu, is it Zhu Gong who is pacified?" It was true.
This story means that Zhu Xieyuan met a god and taught him the art of Qimen Dunjia. This god also predicted the She'an Rebellion in the southwest, and predicted that the person who quelled the turmoil must be Zhu Xieyuan... Well, it's fantasy enough!
There are many fantasies like this in "History of Ming Dynasty", such as Zhu Di's Battle of Jingnan, which describes the fact that when the two armies fought, a gust of demonic wind suddenly blew up, helping Zhu Di to win. For example, the records about Zhang Ling's five stone bow are seriously inaccurate.
No one can pull the five stone bow from ancient times to the present. Anyone who writes about someone who can drive such a bow is all nonsense. The number one person famous for bows in Chinese history is Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms! How many stone bows can he draw? According to historical records: Two stone bows! How many stone bows did the Ming army archers use? Cough... Seven Dou Bows! (Note: One stone is equal to ten Dou.)
Sorry, I'm going to go far. In short, Wang Er has a great strength and can pull the same bow as Huang Zhong! But... the accuracy is far from the bow technique. There are many people in the world who can compete with Huang Zhong, but not many people who can compete with him for archery.
Wang Er shot out the arrow as fast as lightning. The soldier who was exploring the way was still shouting happily: "I found a trap...ah..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Er's arrow had arrived. With a puff, he was in the soldier's lower abdomen. The poor soldier screamed and fell to the sky. His "Ah" screamed so loudly, it was really earth-shaking, shaking the mountains and forests. All the colleagues around him were shocked. They turned around and saw the soldier lying on the ground, holding his lower abdomen in both hands, and half of the arrow tail stretched out from his fingers. Blood was flowing out along the arrow shaft, causing him to roll left and right.
Two soldiers holding shields jumped over quickly, raised the shield in their hands, covering themselves with the wounded soldiers rolling on the ground. Then the soldiers around them also rolled on the ground. The shields supported the shields, and the shields were not buried in the grass, shouting: "Someone fired a cold arrow, be careful... be careful..."
The biggest feature of soldiers is that they have nothing to do with them. Protecting themselves is first-class and high. Whenever there is any disturbance, don’t worry about their own tasks. Finding a safe place to hide yourself first is the right reason.
Wang Er shot down a soldier, feeling quite satisfied. In order to prevent the arrow from being shot, he deliberately climbed to a place less than fifty meters away from the soldier to shoot arrows. Sure enough, he drew another arrow from the arrow bag on his waist and planned to shoot again. Zhu Yuanzhang next to him pressed his arm: "Don't rush to shoot for a while, wait... the soldier stood up and then shot..."
"It's better to shoot more enemies!" Wang Er said seriously.
"You are only one person, with more than twenty arrows in one bag, and there are more than five hundred soldiers on the other side. Even if you shoot one enemy in each arrow, it will not play a decisive role in the battle if it is empty." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Your arrows are not used to kill the enemy, but to attack the morale of the other party, so don't rush to release them now. When they feel safe, they plan to continue to move forward."
Wang Er nodded as if he had understood it.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted his shoulder and said, "While they were lying down and their eyes were not open, let's change the place first... After a while, the other party will come to his senses and come here to investigate..."
----------------
The soldiers lay on the ground for a long time until Yang Hong came up behind him, and many soldiers were lying in the grass.
"What are you doing?" Yang Hong frowned and cursed.
"Master Qianhu, someone shot a cold arrow just now, and we injured a brother." A soldier shouted: "Don't stand, squat down quickly."
After hearing this, Yang Hong was slightly surprised. Generally speaking, those who are military generals need to be careful of cold arrows, because on the battlefield, the archers on both sides like to look for each other's officers to shoot arrows. In modern times, snipers like to find each other's commanders to attack the head. When Yang Hong heard about the cold arrows, his first move was to drill into the middle of his servants. Like all the military officers of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Hong also raised servants, with a large number of them, a total of fifty.
These fifty soldiers of the family were all loyal and powerful, and their equipment and weapons were also the most excellent. When Yang Hong drilled inside, the soldiers of the family unfolded their shields and protected him from all directions.
"Don't lie on the ground. When will you lie on this?" Yang Hong cursed angrily: "A bunch of waste, get up, hold the shield, and move forward to the side of the cold arrows, and see who is making trouble."
Under his order, the soldiers climbed up reluctantly. More than a dozen soldiers gritted their teeth and carried their shields toward Wang Er's arrows.
However, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's prediction, the place where Wang Er had just shot the archery was gone, leaving only a few mud footprints in the grass.
The soldiers searched around but couldn't find anything. They returned to Yang Hong and reported: "The person who fired the cold arrow has left..."
"Tsk! Then why are you doing with shields and nesting like quails?" Yang Hong cursed: "Everyone cheers me up and keep moving forward..."
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to collect the shields. Even the servants around Yang Hong put away their shields and stopped protecting Yang Hong. The soldier who had injured his lower abdomen just now had taken out arrows with the help of his companions and applied wound medicine on his stomach. Someone used a cloth to help him wrap his stomach, and then someone used a lifting rack to lift him.
After a while of chaos, the soldiers cheered up and planned to continue moving forward.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hiding behind the stone in the distance, patted Wang Er on the shoulder and smiled and said, "It's OK, let's have another arrow!"
"Hey, OK!" Wang Er had been impatient for a long time, so he quickly bent his bow and arrow and aimed at Yang Hong.
Seeing that his aim was almost done, Wang Er relaxed his right hand, and a "buzzing" sounded the bowstring, and a powerful arrow left the string and rushed towards Yang Hong.
At this time, Yang Hong was still cursing and saying, "I'm a bitch. Before I could take a picture of that guy Zhu Ba, I was knocked down by several brothers by a trap and a hidden arrow. I'm so annoying."
Before he could finish his words, a servant soldier next to him jumped over, hit Yang Hong with his shoulder, and shouted: "General, be careful..."
Yang Hong was alert and was hit hard by the servants. He knew that there must be a reason for the servants to hit him like this. He quickly rolled with the force of the collision and dodged to the side. As soon as he rolled out, a "swoosh" sound of arrow breaking through the air passed through his ears. An arrow that was almost invisible passed through the place where he was standing just now, without hitting him, but hit the chest of a soldier standing behind him. Blood splattered, and a red leap forward in front of him...
Huh, it's so dangerous, I saved my life! Yang Hong shouted while rolling on the ground: "Shield protects me, go and catch the one who fires the cold arrow..."
