If I want to talk about the opener among historical figures, the first thing that comes to my mind is Wang Sunsin, who is the most powerful archer recorded in the history books, who once fought for hours with his own strength to save the defeated army from danger with the bow in his hand.
Wang Sunchen is a general in the Northern Song Dynasty, he is very good at shooting, born in the Western Army, once he followed the Qiang tribe that was in turmoil, but because the Song army was too arrogant, caught in the encirclement of the enemy, even the commander was killed after the ambush, the whole army was shaken, and the queen could only retreat in a hurry, and the result was pursued by the enemy in a hurry to a narrow pass, the whole army struggled to survive, but there were too many helpless personnel, and it was impossible to evacuate quickly under the crowding, and the enemy army arrived immediately, and then continued like this, waiting for the Song army can only be annihilated.
Because the army will collapse directly under panic, the number of people killed by the stampede will be an exaggerated number.
At this time, Wang Sunsin, who was a partial general, knew that he could not go on like this, looking at the dust stirred up in the distance, he knew that the enemy army was coming soon, so he gave up his escape and came to the back of the Song army with a bow and arrow.
Not long after he stood still, the enemy's cavalry arrived, and seeing that there was a lonely person standing in front of him, the Qiang cavalry generals couldn't understand what was going on, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Song army, so they asked the seven forward riders to come forward to get Wang Sunchen and rush the Song army. Looking at the rushing enemy, Wang Sunsin moved, and he shouted: "I want to arrange flowers between the eyebrows of the enemy at the front." ”
In order to boost the morale of the army, Wang Sunsin knew that this battle could not be lost.
I saw Wang Sunchen pick up the arrow, raise the hard bow, shoot three arrows in a row, and kill three people on the spot, and the three Qiang cavalry who fell to the ground were all arrows between the eyebrows, without exception, which made the Qiang people frightened, the remaining four cavalry turned their heads and ran, but before they could run out of the range of the bow and arrow, they were all shot dead after Wang Sunchen caught up with him, and the arrows he fired could even penetrate the entire body of the enemy.
This astonishing achievement shocked the Song army and the enemy in the audience, and the tens of thousands of enemy cavalry that pursued them had to stop at the horse to repair under the shock, which gave the Song army precious time to reorganize the army and finally stopped the chaos of the army.
Soon, not long after the Song army regrouped its troops, the reacting enemy began to continue to attack, and Wang Sunchen led his subordinates to officially start a war with the enemy, and the fierce fighting between the two sides lasted from Shen Shi (15 o'clock to 17 o'clock) to Youshi (17 o'clock to 19 o'clock) in the afternoon.
In these four hours, Wang Sunchen was like a god descending from heaven, invincible, he shot at least a thousand arrows, and the arrows were not missing, each arrow could hit the enemy, but such a high frequency of archery, so that Wang Sunchen's fingers could not stand it, the fingers used for the bowstring were torn apart, and the blood that flowed out flowed all over the arms, but in the end, with bravery, the Song army was able to successfully pass through the pass and escape successfully. For this battle, there is such a record in the history of the Song Dynasty:
Partial general Wang Shun is good at shooting, with a bow hexagram (through "hanging") arm, after the independent defeat of the army, Qiang can be ten thousand horses, there are seven people to take the horse first. Shun Chen will be the chief of the Qiang chieftain especially if he does not die first, our army will be exhausted. Nai declared: "I order the forerunner to arrange flowers between his eyebrows." ”
Three shots of the bow were drawn, three people fell, all of them were in the middle, and the remaining four people walked backwards, and the arrows pierced their backs. Ten thousand horsemen did not dare to go forward, and Shun Chen had to be wholeed. Suddenly, Qiang returned. Shun Chen self-declared and unitary, more than 1,000 arrows, and there was no void. Finger split, blood flowing to the elbow. Twilight is beyond the pass. will take away morale, and dare not repeat the war. From "History of the Song Dynasty, Volume 335, Biography of the Ninety-fourth Kind, Pu Biography"
If the record of the Song Dynasty is correct, then in the entire war, Wang Sunchen fired more than 1,000 arrows in the nearly four hours of battle, about 4.17 arrows per minute, using a hard bow, and the true gods and men were also used.
