Chapter 354
This thick tower shield is made as a whole and is thick and can even be said to be bulky.

Coupled with the armor on the soldiers, they are basically not afraid of the opponent's crossbows.

However, the opportunity for this kind of tower shield to appear is to defend the opponent's ballistae and catapults.

"General, the opponent's heavy infantry seems to be able to restrain our armor-piercing arrows." Wei Yi reminded.

"I see, it's not a big problem, you are also heavy infantry!" Zhang He replied.

Wei Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that the soldiers under his command were indeed heavy infantry.

It's just that lately I've been mainly shooting crossbows, and there are very few opportunities for melee combat, so I almost forgot about them.

It would be better to say that if the personal guards have to go over and fight with others, then this kind of army will be at the end of its rope.

But no matter how you look at it now, Zhang He's intention is to let him lead his troops to kill him.

"Pang De, lead your army to flank him and hand it over to Wei Yi from the front. Be careful of the other side's cavalry!" Zhang He ordered.

Li Jing was left behind, even if the enemies were behind, there was always someone watching over the supplies.

Zhang He did not participate in the attack for the time being. He looked at the battlefield with a radius of one kilometer through God mode and performed micro-control through instructions at any time.

After gamification, all the troops on the battlefield are his subordinates by default.

Just like in Cavalry and Cutting, although each of his subordinates is assigned an army, the overall command is still the protagonist himself.

Why did the Allied forces appear before?
In the final analysis, there are commanders of the same level or higher. The game defaults that everyone is not subordinate to each other. At least Zhang He is not qualified to command their troops, so they default to the allies.

At present, the opponent seems to have no more actions. The heavy cavalry is roaming outside. They are no longer the main force, but they are still a threat.

The heavy infantry was in the front, covering Cao Ren's soldiers.

Cao Ren's tribe followed closely behind, with crossbowmen on the side, obviously guarding against the soldiers who were killing them from the side.

If you look carefully, you will find that the two rows of soldiers holding shields have a crossbow behind them. They will also become crossbowmen when necessary.

Use the V-shaped gap in the tower shield to shoot outward.

On the other hand, with the cover of the tower shield, it is not easy to counterattack.

Unless the crossbow bolt accurately hits the gap and hits the crossbow exactly, it will be difficult to cause damage.

But even if it didn't cause any harm, it didn't matter. Zhang He gave an order and Liannu's convoy pushed up.

After the bed crossbow was improved, the penetration would indeed be improved, but Zhang He was not very interested in this slow-stringing, single-shot and bulky thing.

In contrast, the repeating ballista, which can be pushed quickly by a single person, has medium power and wide coverage, is his favorite.

The only drawback is that the loading speed is slower than that of a bed crossbow. After all, it takes more than 50 crossbow bolts.

"Raise 45 degrees and launch!" Zhang He gave the order, and the crossbow team adjusted the angle of the box one after another, and then pressed the machine expansion.

These are hundreds of repeating crossbow vehicles. Calculated based on a fifty-round crossbow vehicle, five thousand crossbow bolts will be thrown out in an instant.

Normally, each crossbow bolt may kill an enemy.

However, in the case of ejection, the accuracy naturally drops seriously.

However, from the perspective of the legion, precision shooting is not the main focus, and coverage shooting is the king.

At a distance of more than 50 meters, a large number of crossbow bolts flew past, easily bypassing the tower shield and falling into the enemy's position.

The heavy infantry's armor can block these crossbow bolts to a certain extent, but that is for ordinary crossbow bolts.

The crossbow bolts used by these repeating crossbow vehicles are all specially weighted and lengthened versions, and the power of flat shooting may not be good.

In the ejection state, the speed increases slightly when falling.

Naturally, the penetrating power has also been greatly improved, especially the three-edged arrow itself.

Fortunately, although such crossbow arrows are a bit unconventional, they can be forged in large quantities without the need for Zhang He to do it himself.

Even Cao Ren didn't expect that his opponent would come up with a new trick.

With a large number of crossbow bolts coming through the air, they bypassed the shield soldiers in front.

The soldiers holding shields in the second row immediately raised their shields and raised them above the first row of shields with the help of friendly troops.

Through this method, the scope of defense is further expanded.

I have to say that it is bulkier and bulkier, and its defense is indeed very good.A large number of crossbow bolts fell on it, causing no damage, but many still flew over.

If it falls into the enemy's position, this heavy crossbow bolt can easily penetrate ordinary scale armor and cause damage to the soldiers.

It was just 100% damage, but it was suddenly weakened to [-]% to [-]%, and the casualties caused were naturally limited.

"But you have to stop!" Zhang He sneered.

To raise the shields of the second row, naturally, the whole army must stop.

At the same time, the crossbow bolts that luckily flew over also caused casualties and created gaps in the battle formation.

So Wei Yi took the opportunity to kill him. With an order, the soldiers put away their crossbows early and took out the mountain-opening swords on their waists.

How can a heavy infantryman be equipped with a ring-shaped sword? Naturally, he should be equipped with a mountain-opening sword.

Hold a shield in one hand and stand in front to avoid being attacked by spears from behind.

In fact, there is no need to worry, after all, the opponent is busy raising a shield to defend, and the spear behind him cannot penetrate at all.

Normally, if you want to meet the enemy, you can use the crossbow to contain it first, and then change the formation to give the spear behind you enough space to counterattack.

This kind of tower shield has high defensive power, but it also hinders the counterattack of friendly forces behind it.

"Kill!" The leading soldier raised his sword and thrust it into the crack between the shields.

After all, the person holding the shield is a human, so there must be some gaps in the process of moving forward with the shield.

Facing this kind of shield wall, all you need to do is to insert the long knife into it, and then use the thick blade to pry open the distance between the shields.

The next moment, some soldiers will seize these gaps and knock down the shields.

It is difficult to lift such a heavy thing, let alone hold it firmly in your hand.

As long as the shield falls, soldiers will naturally march in. Of course, what these people face is the second shield that has fallen, and at the same time, there are spears thrust out from the gaps.

The shields began to take effect, and it was difficult for the spears to penetrate the shields in their hands. However, the enemy soldiers in the first row began to be slaughtered one after another.

"It's a bit tricky..." Lu Qian sat in the middle of the army, watching the enemy's rapid advance, feeling very uncomfortable.

I had a lot of confidence in my opponent's heavy infantry, but in actual combat there were so many problems.

The thick tower shield is indeed in the way. The problem is also taken into account that the opponent has a bed crossbow with high penetrating power, as well as a catapult.

It's just a matter of throwing pebbles. If it's a huge stone projectile, then probably only this kind of tower shield can defend it.

Strictly speaking, the shield car was the safest, but it was very bulky and inconvenient for them to raid.

Their mission this time was to get around to the enemy's rear as much as possible, and then launch a surprise attack to destroy the opponent's baggage.

Therefore, the shield vehicle was not brought out. The tower shield was the only guarantee that they would not be harmed by war equipment.

Who would have known that the other party did not use a crossbow or a catapult. With the help of that strange crossbow, the crossbow bolts shot almost covered the entire unit under his command.

Fortunately, with the protection of the tower shield, the damage was reduced to a minimum.

But the opponent's heavy infantry was obviously much stronger than themselves in terms of training, and both in terms of physical fitness and actual combat experience, they were far superior to themselves.

When facing the same heavy infantry, those tower shields became a burden.

But it doesn't matter. Since the opponent chooses to get closer, there will naturally be no more crossbow bolts coming.

At the command, the shield-bearing soldiers in the second row immediately pulled out a large piece of iron from the tower shield, and the tower shield turned into a one-handed shield in an instant.

It turns out that this shield is a detachable and assembleable type, and soldiers can switch between tower shield soldiers and sword shield soldiers at any time.

Naturally, the cost of building such a tower shield will not be low, so there are only so many.

After turning into a sword and shield soldier, and cooperating with the spearmen behind, he finally had the ability to fight against Wei Yi's personal guards.

As for the enemy troops coming from the side, Cao Chun and Cao Ren have already surrounded them...
