"shoot--"

Following Lu Zhishen's order, thirty bed crossbows shot at the Koryo army rushing up from the hillside, that is, the Dragon and Tiger Army, the second strongest army in Korea!
The Dragon and Tiger Army is also equipped with heavy cavalry like the Yingyang Army. Therefore, although the bed crossbow's largest range of lethal arrows is the Jackdaw Arrow (pocketed on the bowstring, dozens of arrows are filled at a time, and they are fired like a storm at the same time), but It is useless at this distance, because although the Jackdaw Arrow shoots many arrows, its armor-piercing ability is not good. Therefore, at this distance, what the bed crossbow shoots is a short spear with feathers.

The bed crossbow and the short spear with feathers are definitely the most lethal weapons in this era. They can shoot down the Goryeo cavalry wearing the best iron armor at a distance of three or four hundred steps.

The happiest moment for the Liangshan Army is when the Dragon and Tiger Army is between [-] and [-] steps away from the front of the Liangshan Army, because only the Liangshan Army shoots and kills the Dragon and Tiger Army, and the Dragon and Tiger Army has no power to fight back. You can pave the way with your life.

In fact, even a horn bow with light arrows can shoot more than four hundred steps.

However, these four hundred steps are the throwing distance. It is impossible to shoot so far from downhill to uphill, not even half the distance.

Secondly, even if you are shot by this kind of light arrow from a hundred steps away, or even eighty steps away, as long as you don't hit a vital point, you won't be able to hurt the well-armored Liangshan infantry.

All in all, at this distance, the Liangshan Army brutally brutalized the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The only two regrets are:
[-]. The Liangshan Army had too few bed crossbows, only one hundred.

[-]. It is too strenuous to open the crossbow on the bed.

As a result, with such a good opportunity, the Liangshan Army only shot to death more than 200 generals of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Of course, this is only on Li Yan's side.

If you stand on the side of the Dragon and Tiger Army, you will be bleeding. You must know that the Dragon and Tiger Army has a total of only 2000 people. When they advance to a hundred steps away from the front troops of the Liangshan Army, they will lose more than [-]% , Can the heart of General Longhu not bleed?
General Longhu gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't anyone tell me that they still have bed crossbows?"

Who will answer this question at this time?
The battle continues.

When it was less than a hundred paces, the Dragon and Tiger Army could already slightly suppress the Liangshan infantry with bows and arrows, so that the Liangshan infantry did not dare to attack them with bed crossbows so recklessly.

At this time, Liangshan Army's bed crossbow stopped attacking, and then took advantage of this opportunity to put a leather pocket on it, and replaced the heavy arrows with dozens of light arrows (light arrows compared to short spears, but actually ordinary crossbow).

The Liangshan Army is bullying the Dragon and Tiger Army to attack from downhill to uphill, and they can't run fast. If they are on a plain, how can they have this time, so the terrain is very important.

Before thirty steps, the Liangshan army did not have any effective attacks—it was not that the Liangshan army did not want to attack at this distance, but the fact that the Liangshan army only had bed crossbows and heartless cannons that could do great damage at this distance, and the former was preparing for its final attack. One blow, the latter is what Liang Shanjun doesn't want to expose yet.

Therefore, Liang Shanjun could only waste this distance in vain.

And this distance is the last happy time of Dragon Tiger Army.

pity!

Happiness is always short-lived!
Not long after, the nightmare of the Dragon and Tiger Army came.

When it was less than thirty steps, the god arm crossbow that had been holding back for a long time showed its power.

Although the dragon and tiger army in the front row were covered by shields, they were still being cut off by the god arm crossbow because the distance was too close.

Just ten steps forward, the Dragon and Tiger Army lost more than 100 lives.

Five steps further forward, the Dragon and Tiger Army lost more than 200 lives.

When the distance between the two sides was only ten steps, Lu Zhishen gave an order, and a hundred bed crossbows fired in volley, and thousands of powerful crossbow arrows were shot out, instantly reaping four to five hundred lives of the Dragon and Tiger Army!
The matter is not over yet, because almost all the dragon and tiger soldiers holding shields were killed by the bed crossbow.

General Longhu, who persisted all the way here, also lost his life in these two waves of attacks. He didn't even have a chance to display his excellent martial arts, what a pity!
So far, the Dragon and Tiger Army, the second strongest army in Korea, has less than 500 people left.

Following the Dragon and Tiger Army, the Great General of the Shenhu Guard, General Shenhu, decisively took over the command of the Dragon and Tiger Army and ordered the remnants of the Dragon and Tiger Army to continue to move forward.

This is the mission of the elite.

The remnants of the Dragon and Tiger Army did not talk about conditions, nor backed down, but continued to charge forward under the leadership of a general. It can be said that both the Yingyang Army and the Dragon and Tiger Army are worthy of their great reputation.

By the time the Dragon and Tiger Army had cleared away all the horse-rejecting posts of the Liangshan Army and faced off with the second infantry army, there were less than two hundred soldiers left in the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Shenhuwei officially stepped on the field.

Ma Jun's biggest advantage is impact.

But because the Koryo army had to rush up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, how could a horse with a load of more than 200 to [-] kilograms be able to run. Therefore, under this specific environment, the equipped heavy cavalry lost its greatest advantage.

Some people may want to say, why didn't the Koryo army use light cavalry or infantry to open the way?
The answer is simple, because the light cavalry and infantry can't rush up at all, without other things, only the one hundred bed crossbows, they don't take 2000 lives, which is not enough to fill them up, and with the addition of more than [-] god arm crossbows, they The possibility of rushing up is almost equal to zero.

Only armored heavy cavalry with strong defenses can charge up, and even heavy armored infantry cannot charge up (their speed is too slow, they are completely live targets).

However, although the equipped heavy cavalry can rush up, the equipped heavy cavalry without the impact force is no longer so scary.

In addition, there are two battalions of hook and sickle spearmen in the Second Infantry Army, which are equipped with heavy cavalry.

So much so that the second infantry army did not lose the slightest bit of wind when facing the Shangshen Tiger Guard, and the two sides became entangled and stalemate in place as soon as their soldiers joined forces.

Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue, the two fat monks, really went on a killing spree this time, constantly reaping the lives of Shenhuwei Jingyong from left to right, while Peng Qi replaced Lu Zhishen from the rear to command the second infantry.

Seeing that the awl was not moving forward but kept shrinking forward, Han Anren asked, "What should we do now?"

Jin An didn't answer Han Anren, but said to himself: "This group of people doesn't look like bandits, they shouldn't be so reckless, why would they fight us?"

Han Anren asked: "Is there a fraud?"

Jin An said: "Their strength is limited, it is impossible to break up our conical formation, and as long as the formation is not chaotic, it is impossible for us to lose."

After being puzzled, Jin An simply stopped thinking, but said: "No matter what schemes and tricks he has, as long as we can break through their central army, they will definitely lose!" Speaking of this, Jin An turned to The messenger said: "Order Jingyong, the six leaders of the Jinwu Guard, to bypass the battle zone between the Shenhu Guard and the opponent's infantry from left and right, and directly attack the opponent's central army..."

Before the messenger could deliver the order, the Koryo army suddenly made a collective uproar, and rushed up the hillside scrambling to be the first.

Seeing it, Han Anren asked, "What's going on?"

Jin An was also puzzled: "The Chinese army moved forward...how could this be? The opponent's general is dying, isn't he afraid that our army will behead him?" Jin An's pupils froze when he saw that the safe distance between the horse infantry was getting smaller and smaller. Shrinking, and then said: "Or... is there a fraud?"

Thinking of deceit, Jin An quickly ordered: "Hurry up and send an order, and no more gatherings are allowed!"
