Chapter 114: Destined to be different from ordinary people
During the period of Han Jue, the third generation head of the Han family, there was a world-famous archer named Yang Youji.
This Yang Youji was a prince of Yangguo. After Yangguo was annexed by Chu, he became a doctor of Chu and served King Chu Communist and King Kang of Chu. Later, he was designed by Wu to die among many archers.
in ambush.
Yang Youji was not only recognized as the best archer in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was also known as the "No. 1 Archer in China" in later generations. According to historical records, "He is good at shooting. He who leaves willow leaves can shoot with a hundred steps and hit the target with hundred shots." At the same time, he has
The brilliant record of "The Fierce Killer".
Wei Qi of the old Wei family was a recognized general of the Jin State at that time, and he was one of the many souls killed by Yang Youji's arrows.
It can be said that Yang Youji's reputation was not established by "showing off", but by the fierce generals who shot down the Central Plains countries again and again.
Because King Chu Cong and King Chu Kang had Youji, their favorite thing to do was to take the lead in charging into battle. Seeing their monarch charging into battle in person, how could they not let the Chu army roar forward to kill?
The Han family was famous in Zhuxia for being good at archery, but what was more terrible was that there was no archer who was famous among the nations, and it almost became a problem for the old Han family for several generations.
Of course, the reputation of the Han family for being good at shooting was not created by any individual. It was simply the Han family that mastered the skills of using the "Arrow Formation".
But right? If a sharp archer can be found, the Han family will not dislike it, and it will further improve the reputation of being good at shooting.
In the next few days, Wei Ju and Han Geng simply went hunting with Zhi Yao and witnessed Zhi Yao's miraculous shooting skills again and again.
It's just that the accuracy rate is high, but it cannot be said to be a miraculous skill. It is purely Zhiyao's ability to shoot arrows and definitely hit the target as if he were eating and drinking, especially when he shoots wherever he wants.
"Yao is only fifteen now and cannot use a strong bow. What if?" Han Geng was already convinced, but his words seemed to be a little bit different.
Wei Ju knew that Han Geng was not burying Tai, but it was a pity that times had changed.
Zhou rites are rarely followed in wars between countries, and the "master" in front of the two armies has become very rare. Under this change, the role of the sharp archer is definitely still there, but it is not as effective as Yang Youji.
In this environment, he can obtain the title of "The Fierce Killer" in a fair and just manner in front of battles one after another.
Han Geng didn't have much malice. What he thought was that Zhiyao was very good at shooting now. As he grew up day by day, as the tension of the bow he used became more and more intense, he didn't know if he could still maintain this kind of shooting like breathing.
General randomness and hit rate.
The two of them were riding in the same car, chatting, and watching Zhiyao instructing Fenying in archery not far away.
Of course Fen Ying can shoot arrows, but it's hard to say how accurate he can be.
Zhiyao prepared a kind of horn bow for Fen Ying.
When mentioning the "horn bow", many people immediately think of it as one of the alien inventions. In fact, it is not the same thing at all.
This "horn bow" does not specifically refer to the kind that nomads use to shoot arrows on horseback. In fact, it is a bow made of animal horns, bamboo wood, isinglass and beef tendon.
In addition, the horn bow is a type of bow used by young men and young girls of the Xia nobles. This is of course because the young men's bodies have not yet fully developed, and when used by girls, their strength will be smaller.
Under Zhiyao's "hand-by-hand guidance", Fen Ying could hit the target every time she shot an arrow. It's just that it's hard to say whether her archery skills were good in the first place or because Zhiyao taught her well.
There was no aristocrat in the Spring and Autumn Period who couldn't shoot an arrow, and the hit rate would be impressive if they were calm. However, when in battle, the hit rate would drop due to mental issues.
In fact, many soldiers perform extremely well during training, but fail when they actually enter the battlefield. The reason lies in mentality problems.
"Instructing everyone, I can't wait for Yao Ye." Han Geng discovered this problem very early.
The last time they followed Zhiyao on his expedition to Qi, it could be said that they played almost the entire role, purely for the credit.
It's not that they didn't want to make a difference, it was just that they tried it and realized that they were not up to that level. They were very self-aware and allowed Zhiyao to firmly control the command of the entire army.
Today's hunting is really not as simple as riding around on horseback and killing prey when you see it. It requires commanding the accompanying armed personnel to drive away various animals, which requires a command system.
Therefore, the hunting of nobles is actually an organized hunt involving many people. If you can command the army well to hunt animals, it means that you have mastered certain command skills.
Wei Ju didn't say much. He was very aware of the gap between himself and Zhiyao. He believed that one day he could reach Zhiyao's height. He just understood that he would make progress and Zhiyao would not stand still.
"If the Jin Dynasty can regain its hegemony, it will either be in the hands of Zhongjun Zuo or after Zhiyao becomes a 'Yuanrong', right?" Wei Ju doesn't want to fall too far behind, but he just needs to have a clear mind to admit that others are better than himself.
They hunted a lot of types of animals, and it was difficult for just a few people to finish the harvest in one day. They usually divided it among the accompanying retainers, and then gave it to the soldiers who performed well.
This process is a kind of art that noble children must learn to control their subordinates. Once they have been taught, they can basically master it. Whether they can do it well is another matter.
The entire hunt went without any accidents. In the early stage, some herbivorous animals were hunted, then the hunting target was set on wild boars, and then the target became tigers, bears and other fierce beasts.
Zhiyao has learned to ride a horse a long time ago, but she doesn't know how to do it in formal occasions.
The reason why he restrained himself was not because he was worried about being spied on while riding on horseback, but simply because riding a horse without driving a driver was considered an embarrassing behavior by the nobles. There was also a special name for "riding a horse alone".
In the view of the nobles, if it was their turn to ride a horse alone, they must have been defeated, and the defeat was very miserable. They needed to go to some areas such as deep mountains and old forests to avoid being chased.
When walking in areas with no roads or uneven terrain, many positions are not suitable for the frame. If you want to escape danger at a faster speed, riding a horse is definitely a very suitable method. Therefore, "riding a horse alone" is linked to defeat.
It is equivalent to describing "in a state of embarrassment".
Another point is that the cavalry combat effectiveness of many foreign races in the north is too overwhelming, which is one of the reasons why the Xia nobles look down on "riding alone".
In the early stage of the Zhuxia system, in addition to Yan State being bullied to death by Donghu, there was also Wei State, which was once powerful, and was forced to move its capital. However, Jin State and Qi State could teach any foreign tribe how to behave at will, and Qin State also caught up from behind.
At this stage, it is not wrong to say that the fighting power of the nomadic people is now exhausted. It is just because the State of Yan, which has been out of contact with the princes of the Central Plains for a long time, has stood up a little, and the State of Qin, Jin and Qi, which have always maintained contact with each other, have been hanging on each other.
Fight against foreign tribes, especially the Jin Kingdom, which within a hundred years successively wiped out many nomadic alliances that seemed to be strong.
Zhiyao was used to riding in a chariot. When she stood up, her body seemed to be swaying with the bumps. However, if you look closely, you will find that it was shaking with the bumps, not the kind of state where she was shaken to the point of being unstable.
There was a sound of a bow string snapping, followed by the sound of the bow body flicking, followed by a sharp arrow shooting through the air.
Fen Ying saw a tiger in front of him that had an arrow in its eye and howled with its mouth. The next second, the bow string, bow body and sharp arrows pierced the air again. Then the tiger, which had already been hit by an arrow at a glance, was running wildly.
The other eye was hit by an arrow again, and the two consecutive arrows caused the seemingly huge body to fall to the ground, leaving a long mark.
The chariot that Zhiyao and Fenying were riding in continued to run, and they watched Yurang holding a sword and leading people to surround the fallen tiger.
This tiger was still chirping something while using its two front paws to protect its eyes from the arrow.
Both eyes were hit by arrows but he didn't die? This is because the bow used by Zhiyao could not kill the tiger with one blow. Even if it hit the eye, it did not penetrate the skull, and then inserted into the brain, causing the tiger to die immediately.
Seriously speaking, the physical fitness of various large animals is better than that of humans. Many herbivores will not die for a while even if their internal organs are taken out. Like tigers, unless they are shot through the head with an arrow, or
It was a direct hit to the heart, otherwise the tiger would not have died immediately after being injured. It would have required a relatively long process of blood loss, and it would later lead to shock or death due to excessive blood loss.
So, if you see someone shooting an arrow, and it doesn’t hit the head and heart, but the tiger actually dies, you can be 100% sure it’s a lie.
Yu Rang knew that Zhiyao wanted a complete tiger skin, so he ordered his people to use a pole to suppress Shang Hu who was still struggling. When he found the right opportunity, he stood up and thrust his sword. The sword penetrated Shang Hu's mouth very accurately.
After inserting the body and twisting the internal organs, the injured tiger turned into a dead tiger in just four or five seconds.
Why didn't Zhiyao shoot the tiger in the mouth? It's still a problem with the tension of the bow. It's difficult to penetrate the bones and kill the tiger with one blow. The best way to get a tiger skin is to shoot it blind and let the accompanying warriors deal with it.
From this, we can see that Zhiyao is very calm and knows the importance of division of labor, so she will not try to achieve anything on her own.
"My future partner is not an impulsive person and is very methodical in doing things. This makes me feel at ease!" Fen Ying has no choice in marriage, but she is still very eager to meet a lover who knows how to protect himself.
Fen Ying has only been with Zhiyao for a short time, so he will definitely observe and make his own evaluation.
All in all, Zhiyao was well-known even before Fen Ying met her. As a fiancé, she seemed to be someone who could take care of the woman's emotions. Judging from Waiyou's performance, she was not an impulsive person.
As for Fen Ying's confusion, she always felt that Zhiyao was not like a young man. He was calmer than her father, Zhao Yang, to a certain extent. He was so calm that he didn't seem mature, but rather a bit indifferent.
Zhiyao knows what she is like, and will only pretend to perform hard when necessary. Because she is reborn in her second life, it is difficult for her to have exaggerated mood swings, and because she knows what she wants and what she does, she has clear goals.
Relived the second life!
It's normal to have some abnormalities, and it's even more normal to have a dull personality, right?
Men such as Zhisong, Zhishen, etc., what they want to know from the perspective of observing Zhiyao is political ability, business ability, and military strength.
Fen Ying doesn't care about the above, she just wants to know that her future husband will not die on the battlefield one day because of pride and impulsiveness.
Depending on the angle of observation, the results of observation will definitely be different!
