Chapter 22 Krupp
The question asked by Li Li instantly stumped Xiao Shiyilang, and the people who were stumped by this problem also included the guards next to him, as well as Cai Ping, the general of the Poyang Prince's Palace Defense Pavilion.
Yes, the arrow is placed on the bow, and the direction of the arrow is inconsistent with the direction of the bowstring rebound. How can the arrow shot out not point to fly along the shaft, but can be shot to the front along the direction of the bowstring rebound?
All those who practice archery will have this question more or less when they first get into bows and arrows.
However, no one can give a convincing and reasonable explanation to explain this problem.
Cai Ping remembered that when he was a teenager, he asked his father, but his father couldn't explain it, just taught him the mantra, and then kept saying:
"You can cum on the right side, why do you ask so much?"
Cai Ping could not get answers to such questions, so when he began to teach his son and others to shoot archery, facing the question raised by beginners, he embarked on his father's old path:
"Just practice according to the formula. What do you ask so much?"
When Cai Ping taught his nephew to shoot archery, his nephew also asked this question, but he couldn't answer it. Now, Li Li asked this question, how can his nephew answer it?
As expected, Xiao Shiyilang, who was already full of confidence, was instantly relieved after hearing Li Li's question.
He couldn't figure out this question, but he had questions in his heart, but could not get an answer, so he lost interest in archery.
Seeing that everyone could not give a reasonable explanation, Li Li smiled slightly, put down the bow and arrow, and asked someone to bring a long bamboo pole with one head against the wall.
Then one person held the other end of the bamboo pole and pushed forward with force, so the bamboo pole gradually bent.
"A villain is not talented. Although he doesn't know how to shoot arrows, he knows the reason. Please look at the bamboo pole and regard it as an arrow shaft." Li Li said so, and when everyone's attention was focused on the bamboo pole, he continued:
"At the moment when the bow is bent and the bow string is spread, did the bow string suddenly push the arrow forward? Now, the bamboo pole is being pushed hard by someone."
Seeing everyone nodding, Li Li said again: "Then, after the arrow is off the string..."
He signaled the man to let go, so the bamboo pole immediately returned to its shape, and because of the elastic inertia, it kept trembling, like a fish shaking its head and tail.
Although this was only a moment, everyone saw that the bamboo pole was "shaking its head and tail".
"Everyone can see clearly? The arrow shaft will be like this. After being shot out by the bow, it will shake its head and tail like a swimming fish, just like that..."
"It's like a swimming fish 'swimming' the bow handle, crossing the 'obstacle' and swiming forward, so that you can shoot directly."
Li Li's demonstration was very intuitive, but it was unbelievable. Xiao Shiyilang looked shocked, but Cai Ping was thinking.
A young man blurted out: "Impossible! How can the arrow be so short, tremble like a bamboo pole?"
This sudden interruption was extremely rude, but Li Li knew that the young man with the horse face was Cai Quan, the son of Cai Ping, and Xiao Shiyilang's cousin.
Cai Quan read the military horses for the Poyang Palace. Ma Rong immediately marched and took a horse to strengthen the army. Of course, Li Li would not have any expression because he was speechless. He continued:
"The truth is the same. The bamboo pole trembles obviously, and the arrow shaft will tremble, but it is not that obvious, and..."
"A stone bow, the moment the bow string is released, a stone is only 120 kilograms of force, pressing all the way on the arrow shaft. Can't the arrow shaft bend?"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask a person weighing more than 100 pounds to step on the upright arrow shaft with one foot, which will definitely break it, right?"
"The arrow was not cut off because there was a way to go ahead, not blocked, but it was not difficult to imagine that the arrow shaft was bent under force, right?"
This principle is easy to understand. Cai Quan and others remain silent, but the statement proposed by Li Li is really unacceptable, so they are still wondering if this statement is correct.
Seeing that no one questioned it, Li Li continued to express his views:
"A villain does not understand archery skills, but he is often accustomed to shooting, so he knows that the bow power is strong and soft, and he knows that the arrow shaft is soft and hard. Different bow powers have different bows, and the arrow shafts are also soft and hard."
"The same person uses different bows and shoots the same arrow at the same distance, but often fails to shoot inaccurately in the front and back. What's the problem?"
After Li Li finished speaking, he demonstrated the arrow's force and bent appearance again: "Bows with different bows must be equipped with arrows with different soft and hard shafts, right?"
Cai Quan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and Li Li said again:
"The reason is very simple. Only with the right soft and hard arrow shaft can you just 'swim' past the bow handle. The arrow shaft and the arrow feather will not touch the bow handle, resulting in a misfire."
The latter paragraph is correct, but the previous paragraph made it difficult for everyone present to accept it, but Li Li's explanation seems to be understandable.
However, this explanation gives people a strange feeling, as if one day, the mother secretly said to herself: "Child, your biological father is Uncle Wang next door..."
When Xiao Shiyilang heard what Li Li said, no one refuted it, and his uncle nodded silently and felt happy: So that's it!
Of course he was happy because what Li Li said made the doubts in his heart over the years answer: First, the direction of the arrow shaft is obviously different from the direction of the rebound of the bow string, so how did the arrow fly out to the front?
Secondly, why do you practice the movement of scattering the arrow after bending the bow and pulling the arrow for so long? If you shoot it with the arrow you chose, you will often turn left or right?
Now Li Li has explained these two questions in a few words. He is many times better than his uncle who is confused by his long-lasting explanation!
When Li Li saw the fat man's interest, he was not inflated, but was very modest: "Don't misunderstand me, villains can't shoot arrows."
Xiao Shiyilang refused to give in: "Why can't you shoot arrows? Otherwise, how can you explain this?"
"My husband doesn't know anything. This is what a strange man told the villain..." Li Li now made up a story and gave a reasonable explanation for his explanation.
What is the motion state of the arrow after it leaves the string?
Because of the fast speed, human eyes cannot see it, but high-speed cameras can be photographed. Through slow playback, people finally solved the puzzle.
He has watched a popular science video, which shows the movement of the arrow off the string (slow motion), which is like a swimming fish, shaking his head and waving his tail, so the doubts in his heart are answered.
The arrow shaft has a 'deflection'. When the arrow is placed on the side of the bow handle and the direction of the arrow shaft is deviated from the direction of the bow string, the arrow shot can still "circle" across the bow handle and move forward directly in front.
The ancients did not understand this principle. After years of experience accumulation, they summarized a set of experiences and formulas to ensure that the shooter can shoot accurately.
For bows with different bow strength, the softness and hardness of the shaft (modernly called deflection) are different. If the bow and arrow match are not suitable, it will also not be able to shoot accurately.
Then, when many archers with ordinary qualifications start practicing archery, if the master does not know how to teach, does not teach according to their aptitude, or the apprentice cannot understand the relevant skills and principles, the accuracy will inevitably be deviated, and the level of archery will be difficult to improve.
The way to be stupid is to practice more, practice day by day, month by month, and rely on the will of "grinding iron rods into needles", it took several years and more than ten years to practice ejaculation skills.
However, children are limited in patience and cannot compete with bows and arrows all day long. Just like Xiao Shiyilang, they feel it is hard to practice, so they simply give up.
The little guy wanted to have a skill to please his father, but he was unwilling to endure hardships, so he took advantage of tricks and performed tricks to please his mother.
This is the conclusion obtained by Li Li's analysis of Xiao Shiyilang's behavior. The other party likes to ask questions, but Cai Ping, who taught archery, could not give a reasonable explanation, which led to a sharp reduction in the interest of the little guy in learning archery.
Then, if he can answer questions, he thinks that the end of the little guy learning to archery will rise sharply.
However, it is impossible to just make the little one stick to it with a few words of explanation. Most children have limited patience and do things with a "three-minute popularity".
Li Li knew that he had to be unique in order to maintain the little guy's enthusiasm for practicing archery.
Since ancient times, routines have been popular among the people. Now, he is using routines to trick Xiao Shiyilang.
"The villain was fishing in Pengli Lake at that time. The old man met, who called himself "Krupp". He had a handsome face, and his words and demeanor were quite majestic, with legs and feet inconvenient, and seemed to have suffered severe damage in many places..."
"Krupp saw that the villain had unique bait fishing method, so he started talking. After the villain got the answer, he realized the mystery of the archery technique and many key points. He just ran around for food and clothing all day long, so where can he get leisure to archery?"
The story made by Li Li was so fascinating that Xiao Shiyilang was listening, while Cai Quan looked fascinated as he listened.
Krupp, Krupp!
What does the word "Kru" mean?
It must be a general of a national dynasty who galloped on the battlefield in his prime, fought bloody battles with the northern enemy, and killed the sea of corpses and blood. His shooting skills must be superb, so he even knew that after the arrow left the string, he shook his head and tail like a swimming fish.
However, when he was old and full of trauma, he could no longer go to fight to kill the enemy, so he often traveled in a commonplace and lingered between mountains and lakes.
He calls himself "Krupp" and "Krupp" and "Krupp". He is an endless hero who has never been able to express his ambitions!
Thinking of this, Cai Quan asked Li Li: "Li Lang, I don't know where Krupp is now?"
"Oh, the old man has gone without a trace, I don't know..." Li Li opened his eyes and said lies, his face not blushing a little, and Xiao Shiyilang also came to his senses and heard the meaning behind the name "Krupp".
Then he was overjoyed.
It's amazing! Krupp must be a general of a certain dynasty. Because he is old, he no longer goes on the battlefield. He occasionally goes out to play and teaches his archery experience. He must be very powerful.
If I learn it, I will definitely be able to beat all my brothers and receive praise from Aye!!
Thinking of this, Xiao Shiyilang was full of energy and yelled to practice archery. Cai Ping laughed so happy when he saw his nephew's unprecedented enthusiasm.
Li Li used the routine of "knowingly masters to teach peerless martial arts" to successfully trick Xiao Shiyilang. He was happy and laughed.
The little fat man took the bait, just like those young men who have obtained peerless secrets in martial arts, he is full of energy in practicing martial arts. He wants to practice peerless martial arts as soon as possible and dominate the martial arts world.
This way, it will be much easier to do.
