Regarding the death of old General Wang Shunchen, I saw some brothers who thought it was unreasonable.
First of all, let me make it clear: I am not a bad guy, but I do have my own ideas for writing this, so I will make a report with my brothers.
These ideas were originally planned to be expressed in the plot, but later I thought that they were indeed suspected of hydrology, so I simply opened a separate chapter and treated it as——
Ask for a monthly ticket!
hey-hey.
Next, I will talk about my writing ideas. Brothers who are interested can discuss it together.
My younger brother once read a point of view and believed it deeply. I can’t remember which writer said it. The general idea is: the characters in the writing sometimes interpret their own stories as they write.
My understanding is that character determines destiny. When the characters in the book have their own character, to a large extent, they also determine their own destiny.
This small book actually has no detailed outline, and there is no programmatic design for the fate of most of the characters. As the plot progresses, their characters will determine their own fate.
The characters in the book can be divided into two types -
One type is the original characters in works such as Water Margin and The Legend of Yue. Their characters basically come from the original works, with some reasonable additions and improvements;
The other type is historical figures. Their characters are based on their performance in real history, and I try to figure them out and then deduce them.
Only one Wang Shunchen is mentioned here.
Regarding the records of Wang Shunchen, there is only one mention in the biography of Zhong Shiheng in "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography Ninety-Four" when mentioning his grandson Zhong Pu -
"The Qiang knew that Pu was coming, so they waited in ambush. When Pu was ambush, his head and tail were not aligned. Pu Shu fought to the death and was killed by thieves. He carried his body on horseback. The Qiang took advantage of the victory and pursued north. The division still encountered a pass and was blocked and could not move. The partial general Wang Shunchen was good at shooting, and he used his bow and hexagram arm to defeat the army independently. The Qiang came with thousands of horses, and seven of them were leading the way. Shunchen thought that the Qiang chiefs would be especially cunning, and if they were not killed first, our army would It must be done. He declared: "I will order the first person to place flowers between his eyebrows. "I drew my bow three times and killed three of them, all of them in the middle. The remaining four turned back and hit their backs with arrows. None of the ten thousand riders dared to go forward, so Shun minister was able to rectify the crowd. After a while, the Qiang came back. Shun minister himself At Shen and You, more than a thousand arrows were fired, but none were empty. The fingers were cracked, and blood flowed to the elbows. At dusk, we had to cross the pass. The morale was taken away, and no one dared to fight again. At that time, Wei Shun and his ministers annihilated the army. After hearing this, , as a gift to Park Xiongzhou’s defense envoy, and to serve as an official for the next ten people.”
The main general Zhong Pu was killed, and thousands of Qiang people took advantage of the situation to pursue him. The general Wang Shunchen was an expert in archery, so he hung his bow on his arm and walked alone at the end. Seven Qiang people bravely took the lead. Wang Shunchen felt that this must be the bravest among the Qiang people. If we don't kill him first, we would definitely not be able to escape, so he said: "I will let those who dare to chase in front put flowers on their eyebrows." Three of them were hit by arrows, and they were all hit in the face. Four others ran away and were shot through the back. The more than 10,000 Qiang people were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward. Wang Shunchen took the opportunity to rectify his troops. When the Qiang people came to kill him, he shot more than a thousand arrows in two hours. The arrows were not missed, and his fingers were split and blood flowed to his elbows. The enemy was so angry that he did not dare to continue fighting. If it were not for Wang Shunchen at that time, the entire army would have been wiped out. Afterwards, the imperial court posthumously presented Zhong Pu, the Xiongzhou Defense Envoy, who died in the battle, and ten of his descendants were granted official positions.
It is recorded in Baidu Encyclopedia that Wang Shunchen became an official in Lanzhou and was the governor of the state. I have not found whether it is included in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Then start the analysis——
Zhong Pu died in the second year of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, that is, 1099. The year of birth and death of Wang Shunchen is unknown. It is assumed that he was forty years old when he fought in the legendary battle. Because an ordinary soldier with no background gradually became a partial general. , the duration should not be too short.
Twenty-one years later, Tong Guan went to Fangla, and it was estimated that Wang Shunchen was already over sixty years old.
Tong Guan disliked Yao Pingzhong very much, but Zheng Fangla still took him with him, "the most successful among all the armies". This shows that Tong Guan has a pragmatic side.
Since Yao Pingzhong, who I don't like, was brought in because of his bravery, it would be reasonable to bring the legendary shooter Wang Shunchen.
But if Wang Shunchen was still the same person twenty years ago, this abnormal arrow technique would be too fierce, so based on the description of his "cracked fingers" in the history books, a setting was added, that is, he was actually in a semi-disabled state with residual health. Throughout the wave map, only the first three arrows can maintain the highest level.
In terms of character, Wang Shunchen is set to have two characteristics, the first is "pride", and the second is "braveness to do things". Both settings come from the interpretation of historical facts.
"I ordered the first mover to place flowers between his eyebrows." He uttered such wild words before shooting an arrow. Look carefully, does it sound like Jordan said: I will pass the next ball from your left.
This is a kind of pride, but it is not arrogance, but a kind of pride that comes from being extremely confident in one's own skills! Comparing it in basketball, Jordan, Kobe, and Junior are all the same.
Because of this pride, he will "not like" himself so much now that he can only shoot three arrows, just like his younger brother doesn't like himself now that he can't dunk.
Because of this pride, he would not tell others like he was complaining: Alas, I can only shoot three arrows now...
There was foreshadowing in the previous article - when Wang Shunchen saw that Liu Yanqing was in danger, he shot three flying generals with three arrows in a row. Liu Guangshi asked him to shoot Fang Qifu again. fingers, and there is a trace of helplessness and sadness of an aging hero in his brows.)
Also because of this pride, he would say to Yao Pingzhong, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."
It is easier to have the courage to do things. As the saying goes, if the army is defeated like a mountain, is it easier to escape by relying on one's own ability, or is it easier to lead everyone to turn defeat into victory? It goes without saying that if he does not have the courage to do things, he will not "independently defeat the army".
So after the basic character traits of the veteran are clear, let’s look at the progression of the plot——
Isn't this a coincidence? It happened that everyone was injured, and it was Bao Dao B's turn to challenge.
For all the Song generals, Bao Daoyi is a mage, and they are not on the same dimension at all, so there will naturally be hesitation.
But someone must appear at this moment.
After looking at all the generals, this candidate is and can only be Wang Shunchen.
Because of his pride, because of his responsibility, and more fundamentally because of his positioning as a long-range shooter and a veteran in holding battles, to a certain extent, he can restrain mages better than melee generals.
Now, Wang Shunchen knew that he could only shoot three arrows. At the same time, he didn't know what spells Lao Bao was good at, so for him, the strategy was very simple, which was to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Therefore, when he went into battle, he took off his armor, had two bare arms, and only carried a bow and three arrows. The purpose was obviously to maximize his attack power and remove all constraints that might have an impact.
But as a Taoist, Bao Daoyi's spiritual sense is sharper than ordinary people. As soon as he felt Wang Shunchen's gaze, he felt that he needed to stop, so he turned on the Flying Sword Technique regardless of everything.
So at this time! They shot at the same time, (the moment the sword was shot, Wang Shunchen's string vibrated like a thunderbolt, and two arrows shot out like stone, fire, and lightning) -
If the arrow is fast, so is the sword!
Bao Daoyi lowered his head to avoid the arrow between his eyebrows, and the sword fell at the same time, cutting off Wang Shunchen's left hand.
At this time, the second arrow flying in the air hit Bao Daoyi's heart.
The third arrow was already on the string, but before he could draw the bow, his arm was gone.
Need to explain here——
Bao Dao Yi’s flying sword is a bug-level existence! In the original work, Wu Song, who is a super master of close combat and can react faster than a tiger, was struck by his sword and his left arm was "almost severed". Regardless of his martial arts skills and age, Wang Shunchen was far less than the height of Wu Song in his prime. In the attack state, he can dodge with all his strength and only loses one arm, which is already very powerful.
He didn't know that Bao Daoyi had an "eccentricity". He only knew that he shot the opponent's heart with an arrow, so he didn't even look at it.
Now, the situation is one dead and one injured. Wang Shunchen has two choices -
The first one is to return to the battlefield, heal the wounds and see a doctor. But he was already over sixty years old, and his arm was broken at the shoulder level. In this era, as a veteran, he knew what his hope of survival was.
The second one, since this is the case anyway (the best result is to become disabled), just do something big again!
I think a person who is not satisfied with himself who can only shoot three arrows will most likely not be willing to accept a future in which he cannot shoot even one arrow.
In fact, you can write about these mentality in the book, but if you write it, the sense of change like lightning and thunder will be gone - that chapter of two thousand words actually took a long time to write, a veteran, an old thief , symmetrical way of death.
A proud veteran, after another legendary battle, has been quiet for twenty years. At this moment, facing the complete end of his career as an archer, I think in his heart, being a veteran is not enough.
So among the people present, who is important enough?
This is a chemical reaction based on Wang Shunchen's character and experience, driven by the plot.
Later, as a writer, I have to solve two things. First, how can I shoot the last arrow without my arms? Secondly, why can’t the giant demon sect avoid this arrow?
The first question naturally came to mind, but was it too nonsense? I searched on Baidu for half an hour. At the Paralympic Games and America’s Got Talent, there were people who performed archery with the mouth. skills, then I think a legendary shooter should be able to do it, at least it won't be a foul.
For the second question, Fang Qifu stood up naturally and wanted to stop Wang Shunchen and the archery route, but in fact he blocked Boss Fang's sight!
For this reason, I searched Baidu again to confirm that the curved arrow has a physical basis. These screenshots were posted in the easter egg - even though it is, try to exaggerate it within a reasonable range, and you cannot fly with your left foot stepping on your right foot.
This is why Wang Shunchen smiled at Fang Qifu in the end, because Fang Qifu was fooled. If Qifuzi had ignored it, with Fang La's martial arts, it was very likely that he could have moved the arrow away.
It is precisely because of his pride that he stubbornly chooses to shoot Fang La between his eyebrows. "Putting flowers between the eyebrows" is Wang Shunchen's own words. I think only people who turn technology into art can say it naturally. Such a funny description.
As the saying goes——
I still remember the days when white feathers were blown away, and Qiang Hu’s eyes were split open by a thousand arrows.
The husband endures the old bed, and the strong man shoots the iron bolt.
The fierce horse rides on the clouds and flies bravely, the heroic rainbow penetrates the sunset and the demon chieftain.
Kunpeng is broken but its wings hang down from the sky. How can it be laughed at by the people of the time?
Of course, in fact, to explain it this way, it largely proves that there is something wrong with the author's writing, and he failed to explain clearly what should be explained. After careful reflection on this, I feel that it is ultimately a matter of time. The daily update nature of online articles leads to the inevitable omissions, but my failure to make good use of my time is the fundamental problem.
I think back to when I saved the manuscript. Before publishing it every day, I would spend an hour combing through the manuscript and adjusting some problems such as unclear explanations or other issues. The quality would be higher. Later, I wrote and published for a long time, and now It seems that the problem is still very big.
This problem will be corrected in March, and I will become an old flying hero who has saved manuscripts again.
Thanks for your vote bro!
