Volume 1: Mishui Comes East Chapter 17: Shooting Heron

The white elk rescued by Ou Xing from the Juze Pit is undoubtedly a big auspicious treasure.

It doesn't matter that Ou Xing doesn't believe that Bai Mi has any supernatural powers. As long as others believe in it, such as the county magistrate Dong Jun, that's enough.

With this white elk, Ou Xing's hunting plan can be greatly optimized and upgraded.

However, hunting is something that will happen later. Right now, there are other important things.

Shoot birds.

The sunset illuminates the flat sand beside the lake, and the wind blows the reeds toward the sunset. As the sun sets, Ou Xing and his party hide in the reeds in the shallows, muttering and watching the small sandbank not far away, waiting for the egrets to return to their nests.

"Gah~gah~"

The sound of egrets, like the quacking of little ducks, sounded in the sky. Where the water and the sky met, a group of egrets flew over covered with glowing light.

"Ale?" Ou Xing asked softly.

"A total of 36. 32 egrets and 4 herons."

After Ou Le finished answering, Ou Xing couldn't help but glance sideways at him. Looking up against the light, he could still accurately distinguish the egrets and herons in the distance. What amazing eyesight!

Looking back, Ou Xing stared at the descending flock of herons and whispered: "Don't wait for the flock of herons to return to their nest. When the flock of herons is about to fall, listen to me and let the two or three of them release arrows at the same time!"

"Wei." Everyone responded in a low voice.

In Ou Xing's hunting plan, the group of people following him today will all go out to hunt on the day of hunting.

Ou Xing took them to hunt herons at this time, and the main purpose was to conduct actual combat exercises.

When hunting, under the blue sky and white sun, the herons will not just stay in their nests and let others shoot them.

Training close to actual combat is a glorious tradition of our army, and Ou Xing naturally wants to learn one.

The reason why we do not wait for the herons to return to their nests but increase the difficulty of shooting them while they are flying is to get as close to the real situation as possible during hunting and to hone the shooting skills of the tribesmen.

Facing the direction of the sun, watching the black spots in the glow getting closer and bigger. Ou Xing opened his bow and set an arrow, his front hand was like pushing a Mount Tai, and his back hand was like holding a tiger's tail. One punch determined the position, straight forward and backward, and back

Lift your elbow and pull the bowstring backward at a constant speed.

He paid attention with his eyes and his heart moved with his heart. When the black dot showed a clear outline of the egret in his field of vision, Ou Xing's right hand had already pulled the bow string just behind his ear. Without hesitation, he let go.

"Chirp~" Ming Dy screamed and shot up.

"Hey~" 19 feather arrows followed closely.

"Drive!" 20 riders rushed out from the reeds.

"13 out of 20!" Ou Le announced in a loud voice after completing the assessment of the attack in an instant. The hit rate of the first round of static salvos was quite impressive!

"Cai!" On top of the galloping horse, Ou Xing praised loudly, and immediately ordered, "Pursue until sunset or until the egrets are gone."

"Wei!" All the knights rode up to catch up, responding in unison with great pride.

The wind is strong, the bamboo bows are singing, and the young man is hunting Luocheng. The heron is flying fast on the lake level, and the water is shallow, and the horse's hooves are light.

After sunset and moonrise, when they returned to the temporary campsite, Ou Xing's team brought back 25 egrets and 3 herons. They stopped at sunset, not at the end of the heron period.

Chasing a flying heron is still too difficult for Ou Jiaerlang at this stage.

After sunset, the lighting conditions are too poor. If you go exploring or hunting in Juze, it will be a recipe for death.

What we need to do in the evening is to have a good meal, sleep well, and recharge our batteries. Tomorrow we will continue to explore the road during the day and continue to ambush waterfowl in the evening.

Of course, we need to take care of today's hunt first.

If a good boy is hungry, he shoots you to eat, and plucks your wings and feathers into arrow feathers.

A living egret can hone the archery skills of the young men. The meat of a dead egret can be used to satisfy hunger, and the primary and secondary flight feathers can be used to make arrow feathers - the sub-top arrow feathers are only inferior to the flagship level egret.

Ling is slightly inferior.

When the arrow is launched, the middle end of the arrow will bend and deform (swing like a fish). At this time, the arrow feathers can increase the swing resistance of the tail, thereby neutralizing the swing caused by this deformation, making the arrow more stable.

Quickly return to a straight line of flight.

For heavy arrows, ordinary length feathers cannot produce swing resistance quickly and effectively. Therefore, under the limited arrow length, the length and width of the arrow feathers have to be lengthened to increase the resistance.

The matching light arrows of the Bhutanese bamboo bows and Korean bows, and the arrow feathers are made of domestic goose or even domestic duck flight feathers, which is barely enough.

However, for the heavy arrows used in the bamboo four-piece bow and the clear bow, the arrow feathers must be made from the flight feathers of birds of prey or large waterfowl.

Birds of prey are hard to come by, so in order to ensure Ou Jiachong's arrow reserve, Ou Xing immediately extended his claws to the large wading birds in Yunmeng Daze.

If he didn't want to hone his men's shooting skills, Ou Xing wouldn't have chosen the inefficient method of chasing birds - he had already set up a bird net.

Over the years, Ou Xing has done all kinds of bad things, and countless black storks, gray cranes, egrets and other large wading birds have died under his command (under his orders) - if according to the standards of later generations, it would be enough to sentence him to life imprisonment and imprison him until the birth of New China.

But Ou Xing couldn't care about that much.

People's right to survival comes first. A great chaos is coming, so arming himself and his tribe as much as possible is his priority as the young leader of a tribe.

"Young Master, the heron is ready."

"Good deeds are rewarded with hard work."
