Chapter 133: Pulling the Eagle Bow and Shooting the Sirius
The old man chatted about his youthful madness. He held the yellow on his left and the blue on his right, wore a brocade hat and mink fur, and rode thousands of horses to roll around the mountain. In order to repay the beautiful city, he followed the prefect, shot the tiger himself, and watched Sun Lang.
The wine is intoxicating, the chest and courage are still open, and there is a slight frost on the temples, so why not! In the clouds of Zhijie, when will Feng Tang be dispatched? He will draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the heavenly wolf.

Talking about the key points of the chapter "Zhiji", General Huang quoted Sun Tzu's Art of War to elaborate: "The disease caused by the water is the one who drifts away the rocks; the disease of the bird of prey is the one who destroys the broken stones."
Therefore, those who are good at shooting have dangerous momentum and short joints. The momentum is like a crossbow, and the joints are like a hair machine.'
The rapid water can wash away the boulders with the help of the water's momentum. The eagle swoops down from high altitude to kill the birds and rabbits, relying on the timing and distance of the dive. A good archer's bowstring is tight, and his sudden shot is swift and violent.
of.
When facing enemy fire, you need to be brave and calm. Only when the situation is dangerous and short-term can you hit the target 100% and no one can avoid it.
When facing an enemy, you must first open your bow, but do not open the bow to full capacity, and do not release the arrow easily. Be ready to go. Wait until the enemy is only a few dozen steps away from me, then release the arrow. One hit will definitely hit, and more importantly, one hit will kill the enemy.
Life!
Bows and arrows are long-distance weapons. You must learn to use long-distance weapons at short distances. An archer who can shoot at a hundred paces must learn to shoot at fifty paces. An archer who can shoot at fifty paces must learn to shoot at twenty-five paces.
Shoot. In this case, you can hit the target with one shot and hit the head with one arrow!"
Speaking of this, Bai Fu inserted a story and said: "Uncle Zhao Wu said that his ancestor, General Zhao Yun, was also very good at archery. Before the Battle of Chibi, Prime Minister Zhuge borrowed the east wind from the Seven Star Altar in Nanping Mountain. Zhou Yu ordered Ding Feng, the military captain in front of the tent, to protect him.
, General Xu Sheng captured Prime Minister Zhuge.
Ding Feng and Xu Sheng pursued the attack by land and water. Xu Sheng taught the navy to pull up the full sail, seize the wind, and chase the open boat on which Prime Minister Zhuge was riding.
When Xu Sheng's ship approached, General Zhao Yun picked up his bow and arrows, shooting arrows everywhere and cutting the tent ropes of Xu Sheng's ship. The sails fell into the water and the ship stopped sideways. Zhao Yun pulled up the full sail on his ship and sailed away with the wind.
.The ship is like flying and cannot be pursued.
On the shore, Ding Feng called Xu Sheng's boat to approach the shore and said: "Zhuge Liang's miraculous calculations are beyond the reach of others. Moreover, Zhao Yun has a courage that no one can match. Did you know that he was at Yang Changban?" So Ding and Xu did not dare to go any further.
Chase.
Uncle Zhao Wu said that his ancestor, General Zhao Yun, used the archery method of a walking bow, which was suitable for long-distance sniping. He could take the head of an enemy chief within a hundred steps, just like searching a bag for an object. However, General Zhao Yun was not good at riding and archery. After learning the obsidian archery method, he
If you get a treasure, you will be as powerful as a tiger. But in terms of archery skills, at that time, I am afraid that only Lu Bu could match him with his dragon tongue bow and his halberd shooting."
Then, Bai Fu continued to explain the method of shooting obsidian arrows.
"This chapter of "Sharp Weapons" mainly talks about the differences between bows and arrows used in war and bows and arrows trained in ordinary times: "When you are facing the enemy, you have different weapons. To defend against the enemy, you should use a wide bow and heavy arrows. If the arrow is heavy, it will penetrate deeply, and if the bow is wide, it will not roll.
A bow that is used in daily life. If the bow is narrow, it will be beautiful and can be used in daily life.'
‘The bow should be light, the arrow should be long, the arrow should be set to make the string strong and strong; when the bow is opened, the yin and yang should be separated from the front and back; when the arrow goes out with a little power, there is no point in being busy if it hits it evenly and hard.’”
…
"This chapter of "Zhengzhi" is very important. It mainly talks about how archers train internal martial arts. When archery, the archer's mentality must be stable and his breath must be even: 'When you are angry, draw the bow, and when you are breathless, release the arrow. When you are angry, you will be powerful and powerful.
When it is full and full of breath, the mind will be calm and thoughtful.'
"During the long drive to engage in battle, the flags cover the sky, the cymbals shake the ground, the enemy's front comes with the sun shining, and the horses raise dust as they advance. When the heart of fear is stirred, the hands tremble and the body becomes cold. Even if you can wear seven robes on weekdays, you will still be exhausted. Exactly. Therefore, the way to be a general is to first control the mind, not to be happy when praised, not to be angry when provoked, not to be arrogant when winning, and not to be frightened when defeated."
Especially on the battlefield, when the number of enemy troops is large, the flags cover the sky, and the golden drums shake the ground, the enemy's main force comes with murderous intent. If the skill of cultivating Qi is not perfect in daily life, the archer can shoot through seven people with one arrow, even if he can walk through a hundred steps at a time. Zhang Le Jia, faced with the enemy's momentum, his hands will tremble and his body will be cold, and his arrow skills will be inaccurate.
Therefore, practicing archery is like becoming a general. To become a general, you must first heal your heart. If your heart is as calm as water, if you are suffocated and angry, if you have thunder in your chest and your face is as flat as a lake, you can worship the general. When faced with praise, you should deal with it calmly. If you are provoked by others, you will not be calm. Anger. Don’t be arrogant when you win, don’t be discouraged when you lose. Don’t be frightened if Mount Tai collapses in front of you. Don’t be frightened if a tiger roars from behind. It has no facial expressions or expressions, but harmonizes its limbs, adjusts its breath, and aligns its mind and heart. .”
Bai Fu said this with emotion: "I have benefited a lot from this period. That day I was expelled from the mountain gate and lived in Chengdu. I was full of anger and restlessness. After learning the shooting method, I practiced it according to my heart. Every day Take an arrow and stare at it calmly, not aiming to hit the target, but aiming to cultivate your mind. Ding Dong teased me, saying that I misinterpreted Prime Minister Zhuge's four words "quiet and far-reaching". Only when the mind is calm can the shot be accurate and far."
After finishing speaking, Bai Fu shook his head, as if to get this memory out of his mind.
Yang Yichan rarely listened to Bai Fu talk about how he was expelled from the mountain. Now he knew what kind of perseverance Bai Fu had to survive that ordeal. Yang Yichan felt the same and gently held Bai Fu's hand.
Bai Fu smiled slightly and used his hands to convey warmth. He continued: "This chapter of "Eye Method" tells the story of 'Ji Chang learned shooting': 'In the past, Feiwei taught Ji Changshe how to use yak hanging lice to kill lice. Look at it. Three years are like a wheel, penetrating the heart of a louse and hanging on forever. Looking at small things as big, learning can't be done in an instant. This is the first meaning of the archery family.'
Ji Chang learned archery from Fei Wei. Fei Wei said: "You first learn to see without blinking, and then we can talk about archery." Ji Chang returned home and lay on his back under his wife's loom, watching the weaving with his eyes. He practiced not blinking while walking on the shuttle on the cloth machine. Two years later, even if the sharp awl stuck in his eye socket, he would not blink.
Ji Chang told Fei Wei about the results of his practice, and Fei Wei said: "This is not enough, you must learn to see things. You must practice until you can see small objects as clearly as big things, and see small things as obvious." object, and then tell me.'
Ji Chang tied a louse with the hair of an ox's tail and hung it on the window. He looked at it from a distance every day. After ten days, he saw that the louse was getting bigger. Three years later, the louse was as big as a wheel in his eyes. He used it again. In this way, everything else looks as big as a hill.
So Ji Chang stretched his bow and shot an arrow at the louse hanging in the window. The louse was penetrated, but the rope was not broken. Ji Chang completed the task assigned by Fei Wang and once again asked to learn archery from Fei Wei. Fei Wei laughed and said : "You have mastered the art of archery! Your archery skills are complete!"
…
"This chapter of "Horse Shooting" mainly talks about: When riding and shooting in a horse battle, you should aim at the horse with the largest target and not at people. As the old saying goes: if you shoot a person, shoot the horse first. To capture the thief, you must capture the king.
'When the horse starts to ride, hold the bow in your left hand and the bridle in your right hand. When the horse is upright, cross the body to the left and set an arrow on the string. The left hand is raised high like a bird with one wing stretched out, and the bow is pulled perfectly until the handle is opposite to the horse. When it falls, facing the left knee, look at the handle and shoot, and you will hit hundreds of shots. Whenever you open the bow, you must reach nine points and then make a hit. Even if it is seven or eight points, it is difficult to hit. Many horses open to the right, and people cross to the left. If the left is heavy, the horse cannot Open to the right. Open to the left occasionally. Turn right and the horse will pass. Whether the horse is going straight or not depends on its legs.'
At this point, Bai Fu got on his horse, bent his bow, and opened the bow to the full moon. His movements were skillful and his posture was graceful. He looked like an arrow god descending to earth, powerful and vigorous.
Bai Fu said: "When riding and shooting, the momentum is like chasing the wind, and the eyes are like chasing lightning. When the bow is fully opened, the arrow is released quickly."
