Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1654 Shield Car
Compared with the previous rain of bows and arrows, although the arrows fired this time were not dense, they had a strong penetrating power.

The crossbow bolt with extremely strong penetrating power hit the iron-covered wooden shield, directly penetrated the shield, and nailed the shield hand behind the shield to the ground.

Some arrow clusters are even more terrifying when they shoot directly into the gaps in the shield. Not only do they penetrate the body of the crossbowmen in the back row, but they also directly shoot through the crossbowmen behind them. If there is no barrier from the shield, these arrow clusters can often shoot through The bodies of the two were horribly arranged.

On the shield wall over there, after a row of crossbowmen shot the arrows in their hands, they quickly retreated behind the shield, followed by another row of crossbowmen climbing up and firing arrows at this side.Although the crossbow is a single-shot crossbow and cannot be fired in succession, its power is extremely terrifying.

"Strong crossbow!" Bi Zaiyu gritted his teeth.

However, I have to lament the strong national strength of the Jin army.Not only did he take out the lost Liannu in this battle, but even the strong crossbow could take out so many at once.

With the combination of continuous crossbow and strong crossbow, Bi Zaiyu really didn't think that their single crossbow could gain an advantage in this kind of confrontation.Especially the opponent's crossbowman, hiding behind the huge shield wall, it is difficult for the crossbowman on their side to cause effective damage to the opponent.

"Retreat! Disperse and retreat!" Looking at the rows of crossbowmen trained by himself under the opponent's strong bow and crossbow, without even a chance to resist, Bi Zaiyu could only continue to command the crossbowmen to retreat, hoping to withdraw The opponent's range.

Archers are a very precious unit, and they are much more difficult to train than pikemen or sword and shield soldiers.

Relatively speaking, crossbowmen are much easier to train than archers.However, bows and crossbows are a waste of money. If soldiers are consumed here, the crossbows in their hands will not have time to clean up at this time.

And it just so happens that the crossbow is an easily damaged item, and when it is gathered again after the war, it may become something!
Therefore, it was impossible for Bi Zaiyu to let the crossbowman be exposed to the opponent's crossbow and remain indifferent.

"Forward!" Yue Fei gave another order, and the flag was unfurled. When the huge shield moved, it was like a city wall moving.

"crunch~"

Behind the shield wall, the ugly sound of the bow string being pulled to the limit sounded again like the curse of death, and Bi Zaiyu's face turned green. He hadn't forgotten the wave of crossbow attack just now.

If the Jin army really wanted to follow their asses and shoot them continuously, the accumulated losses would be huge in the end.

In fact, if this is the case, if the general of the Jin army is on the level of the Xuzhou army, he will definitely send cavalry to wait for the opportunity at this time.

Most people think that crossbowmen can restrain cavalry. This is actually a mistake. If a thousand crossbowmen and a thousand cavalry fight in an open area, no matter how you fight, as long as the cavalry is prepared, they will not lose.As long as the leading generals are not brain-dead, they are inherently invincible.

The reason is simple. The crossbowmen have the advantage of shooting range, but it is too slow to wind the arrow. If the cavalry charges, the crossbowmen only have one chance to shoot.

Moreover, in addition to the huge impact force, the cavalry also has strong mobility.As long as the cavalry is not dead-headed, as long as they want to dodge, there will always be a way to avoid it.

Of course, if the terrain is narrow and the crossbowmen are guarding, once a rotation of shooting can be formed, the crossbowmen can indeed become the natural enemy of the cavalry.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the fact that the dead soldiers who ascended first were able to destroy the Baima Yicong had a huge relationship with the terrain at that time and the inability of the enemy generals to change.

That is to say, crossbowmen must not be approached by cavalry, once they are approached by cavalry, ten crossbowmen will not be able to defeat one cavalry.

However, the cavalry of the Jin army is strong, and under the same conditions, they have the capital to let the cavalry break the formation.

But the Xuzhou army can't do it. Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry is only so small. He shoots at the crossbow and breaks through the shield wall. After this battle is over, the cavalry in his hand has been exhausted. Almost there.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin could not use the power of cavalry to break the formation at this time.

"My lord, the enemy army is limited in number of crossbows, so why be afraid of them!" Tian Dan hurriedly reminded Zhao Kuangyin.

An army going to war, if it wants to win, unless it is some extreme circumstances, it needs the cooperation of various arms.Pikemen, swordmen, shield soldiers, archers, cavalry and other arms cooperate with each other so that they can deal with various complex battle situations.

After all, Yue Fei only had [-] troops, which was only one-third of their strength. If the [-] troops were divided, there would not be many remaining crossbowmen left!Subdividing it further down, the number of crossbowmen among them is even smaller.

Covered by a shield array, their shields may not be able to defend against the opponent's strong crossbow, but they can defend against the opponent's continuous crossbow.

Although the powerful crossbow is indeed astonishingly powerful, it is far inferior to the continuous crossbow in terms of shooting efficiency.What Tian Dan meant was that instead of retreating passively like this, it would be better to grit your teeth and fight head-on. As long as the two sides can hold out until the two sides meet hand-to-hand, then their strength advantage can be brought into play.

After that time, the situation between the two sides should also be reversed!

"Woooooo~"

Amidst the sound of desolate horns, rows of shield carts were pushed out. The so-called shield carts were actually transformed city rush carts, except that the bumper was removed and the shield in front was thickened.

Since the defensive strength of one shield is not enough, Zhao Kuangyin simply stacked several shields together, using this method to strengthen the defensive strength, and thus launch an attack as Tian Dan said.

Although it is a little clumsy and has a single function, its ability to resist blows is stronger.

After the shield chariot, a large number of crossbowmen followed slowly behind the shield chariot, and another row of long arrows fell, and many arrow clusters were directly nailed to the shield chariot. There was also a baffle on the shield chariot. To protect the soldiers, the sharp arrow clusters failed to break through the shield car's defense as before, and the Xuzhou Army, which had just regrouped in the rear, couldn't help cheering after seeing this.

"Governor, the other side sent out a strange chariot, our crossbowmen can't penetrate the enemy's defense." Huang Feihu looked at Yue Fei and said.

"Oh?" Yue Fei took people up to the watchtower when he heard the words, looked at the slowly approaching shield chariot and behind the shield chariot, frowned and thought for a while: "Still in the same direction as before, shoot upwards! "
