"Kao Gong Ji" out of the "Zhou Li", described a large number of handicraft production technology in the pre-Qin, etc., in China's history of science and technology, craft history and cultural history are in an important position, from the "Kao Gong Record", we can also know that the Warring States period for the manufacture of bows and arrows and other aspects of the more detailed requirements and regulations.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang, known as the "Flying General", was a famous sharpshooter, and he often gambled with people to gamble with archery, and once saw a tiger in the grass on a hunting trip, he shot an arrow, and when he looked closer, he found that it was actually a stone, but the entire arrow was shot into the stone, which made others even marvel.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a general who shot 3 arrows in a row, and 10,000 Liao troops laughed at him for shooting all the crooked, and after a closer look, he was frightened and fled. This Song Dynasty general was He Guan, although he was not famous as Li Guang, but his ability was not lower than That of Li Guang.
He Guan was born in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1065), the character Zhongyuan, Kaifeng Xiangfu people, and later because of the martial election dengdi, do Hedong Road, became the jingluo envoy Han Zhen's subordinates, and later because of his outstanding ability to get Han Zhen's appreciation, gradually rose, Han Jian also said to He Guan: "Junqi Shiye, he should sit according to me every day." ”
When He Guan was serving as an inspector of the Prefecture and Volcano Army, the people of the Liao State often crossed the border to get water, and the water was only secondary, and the Liao people also had to rob the villages of the border people after fetching the water, He Guan believed that this was a provocation by the Liao people, so he personally demarcated the border and did not let the Liao people cross the border.
No one had ever stopped the Liao people before, so the Liao people were very arrogant, and suddenly encountered He Guan, who had just taken office, and did not take He Guan in his eyes, so he took 10,000 soldiers and horses to the border, when the Liao people were suddenly moving, the Song army did not react for a while, and it was too late to prepare.
However, He Guan looked at the Liao army that was full of vigor and did not shed any fear, in He Guan's view, this was his opportunity to show his skills, so he took more than a hundred people to the high ground, and the Liao army knew that on the battlefield, the bow and arrow was a terrible and deadly weapon, so the Liao army was also out of range at that time.
Liao Jun looked at He Guan with only a hundred people, and he was even more frantic, scorning He Guan like a clown. And He Guan did not become angry because of this, took up the bow and arrow, and shot at the Liao army, several shots were killed by the Liao army, at this time the Liao army seemed to become He Guan's "arrow target".
But the Liao army still had a large number of people, and did not put He Guan in his eyes, and then He Guan shot 3 arrows in a row, all on the rock, 10,000 Liao troops looked at it, thinking that He Guan only had such a little ability, the shooting skills were so bad, it should surrender quickly, but there were also Liao troops who carefully looked at He Guan's bow and arrow shooting at the rock, and they showed their fearful faces and told the people next to them.
It turned out that the arrows of the 3 arrows shot by He Guan all shot into the rock, which showed that He Guan was indeed a sharp archer, which also frightened the 10,000 Liao army, thinking that it was encountering the gods, and did not dare to attack again, and soon retreated, after which the Liao army did not violate the situation again.
About 30 years later, Xiao Taishi of the Khitan met with He Guan and talked about he guan when he was inspecting, but Xiao Taishi did not know that the "immortal" was He Guan, and he had a good praise in front of He Guan, and He Guan said: "That is me." Master Xiao was busy saluting He.
Later, He Guan also fought with the Western Xia army, and the arrows fired by He Guan could even penetrate the enemy's armor, and an arrow could also hit several people at the same time.
The Song Dynasty general fired 3 arrows in a row, and 10,000 Liao troops laughed at him for shooting all the crooked, and after a closer look, they were frightened and fled
