Ancient bow and arrow power in the end how big

In the portrayal of the ancient TV series inside, but where the two armies before the battle, will certainly release the arrow, both sides of the arrow as rain, always all of a sudden shot down many people, basically is an arrow to death, a lot of people expressed skepticism, just bow and arrow, the power is really so big, actually was an arrow on the death of the shot?

This feeling many people will have, and thus is very curious about the real power of the ancient bow and arrow, whether it is really so horrible, in fact, the ancient bow and arrow divided into many kinds, in general, people are directly according to the arm strength points.

Here is an example, the Qing Dynasty, focusing on riding and shooting kung fu, so his data credibility is relatively high in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty eight banners of the army list of bows are mostly more than seventy pounds of bows, if it is the elite troops or warriors then perhaps use one hundred pounds to one hundred and fifty pounds of hard bow.

What is the concept of this, some people may not enough to understand the power of this kind of pounds of bows and arrows, in simple terms, if just shake the sound of a very popular inside a can pick up a bucket of pure water with one hand and lifted up a big man, will be able to exclude how many so-called manly man, not to mention that, a bucket of pure water up to thirty pounds, and be able to shoot a six-two arrows of the Manchurian bow of pounds and a half in the seventy-pound (a pound is barely equal to one pound).

According to Ming history, Manchurian soldiers like to take the bow charge, rushed to the Ming army in front of the time suddenly open the bow and arrow towards the Ming army a output of a tend to shine in the face to so an arrow, the effect of how it is, that is, "in the person who died" ah! The heyday of the Manchurian soldiers, there is a once an arrow through the helmet of the Ming Dynasty general soldier and then shot the classic battle example of the Ming Dynasty general soldier. This can be explained from the side of the strong bow shooting at close range, as long as the shot to the vitals, the force is large enough, the arrow in the person does not make sense not to die.

So if it is a bow and arrow of slightly weaker poundage, will it not be as powerful? We can often see TV dramas in the ancient warrior bow and arrow always long-distance shooting, so this is not a weaker power?

The answer, which may be unacceptable to many people, is that the power of the bow and arrow will not be weakened by massive long-distance shooting, but will be more horrifyingly lethal.

It is well known that the arrowheads of the bow have a large mass, while the arrow body has a light mass, which makes the bow and arrow, once it adopts the parrying posture, then it is bound to shoot farther, because of the gravitational potential energy, coupled with the arrowheads are sharp, and the person who is hit by the arrow is bound to be hit by the arrow if he does not put on the armor.

Think first when tens of thousands of arrows thrown from the air, ordinary soldiers, not to mention the fear, I'm afraid of peeing their pants, after the rain of arrows fall, and how many people can guarantee that they will not be hit by an arrow, as long as the arrows hurt to the vitals, not to mention the poor medical environment, even if it's a relatively good bit of modern battlefields, it is easy to infected deaths, not to mention that such arrows do not not not coated in The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

The so-called "bow ringing people perish" "martial arts one eighteen, only the bow first" of the proverb is not completely blind bullshit.

When the archers shoot a rain of arrows, the archers are often able to pull a high poundage bow and arrow people, they and the TV drama inside the kind of skinny image is extremely different, on the contrary, they are all strong - at least is able to kill the four sides, one hand lifting thirty pounds of pure water kind of.

These people will take out their swords after releasing the arrows, and then kill each other. Imagine that in the chaotic and noisy battlefield, a group of muscular men on the opposite side first shot a wave of arrows covering a great deal of coverage on the inside of your team, and then swung up their swords on the over, if you're afraid of it?

This is why the ancient lack of training of the army once encountered a strong enemy (trained army), often a round of arrows may be the reason for the collapse of a pre-Anshi rebellion, this situation is very common.

So, the ancient bow and arrow can really kill a person with one arrow, as long as the distance is enough, not too far away, and then as long as the shot, according to the ancient kind of touching armor rate and touching medical environment, almost certain death.
