Chapter 408 Second Stage

Compared to massing and charging, this scattered formation may be more suitable for Xianbei.

Just like the wolves on the grassland, this reminded Zhang He of the wolf cavalry that Lu Bu planned to train, and this was his reference.

The difference is that Xianbei uses mounted archers to harass, and by constantly rotating through roaming, it actually feels like two-stage shooting and three-stage shooting.

Unless it is a powerful crossbow, it is not easy for ordinary crossbows to kill them.

Not to mention that the opponent was shooting at a fixed target, while his side was shooting at a moving target.

Even in normal exchanges of fire, the casualties on the other side are lower than on our own side.

Seeing that the opponent kept wandering around, whether it was Qian Zhao or Zhang He, they were somewhat powerless.

Especially Zhang He, who couldn't bring over the Euphorbia warriors he trained.

He can also command cavalry, but he lacks experience.

Liu Bei brought two thousand cavalry over. It was a question of who could command them. Neither Huang Zhong nor Xu Huang were good at it, so in the end it fell on Zhang He's side.

Pang De had followed Ma Teng before and had some close contact with the cavalry command.

But having contact with him and actually controlling him are two different things, not to mention that he is too young, which makes Liu Bei somewhat uneasy.

"General, it's not good to go on like this!" Huang Zhong and Xu Huang were guarding Zhang He.

The damage caused by the opponent was not great. After all, they did not dare to approach easily to avoid being shot by a crossbow.

But if this harassment continues, it will still cause certain casualties.

After all, soldiers in a dense battle formation have little room to dodge.

The crossbow takes time to reload, and the opponent takes advantage of this opportunity to come over.

The reloading of the repeating crossbow is slower, and its powerful power is obtained by sacrificing the reloading speed. In a sense, one crossbow with ten arrows may be the best state.

No, to be precise, when facing these barbarians, it may be more appropriate to use a crossbow and ten arrows.

On the contrary, when facing the army of the Central Plains, a crossbow with fifty arrows has a more suppressive effect.

"It's okay, let them chatter for a while..." Zhang He replied, "Strengthen your defenses. Arrows thrown from outside the effective range can actually cause casualties!"

"There is no way, these are new recruits and their training is insufficient." Huang Zhong said helplessly.

Even the best Taishan soldiers under his command are currently staying in Runan County, under the command of Huang Xu.

The ones brought here are basically new recruits, and they have only been trained for two or three months, but their training is seriously insufficient.

The advantage is also obvious, that is, it is easy to replenish, and even if there are casualties, it will not be so heartbreaking.

Zhang He didn't say anything, but took out his command flag and waved it. The drum beat in the army changed, and the cavalry quickly stopped and returned to the vicinity of the battle formation.

The Guards, who had finished winding up, began the second round of shooting.

With the previous experience, they began to change the mode, from concentrated shooting to three-stage shooting mode.

In this way, the range covered by each round will decrease, but you can continue to accumulate shots.

The opponent avoided one round and didn't realize anything yet. He was about to get close and shoot arrows to contain him. Who knew that suddenly a second round came and the casualties appeared immediately.

Before they could get far, a third round of fire came, further increasing the casualties.

For a time, the Xianbei cavalry who kept approaching did not dare to approach easily, for fear that there would be a fourth or fifth round.

After all, in terms of range, the bows in their hands were simply not as good as the crossbows in the hands of their personal guards.

"The mounted archery that you are so proud of is no longer effective against us..." Zhang He looked at each other, "So now, how are you going to face it?"

If you get close, you will be shot by powerful crossbows, and there are cavalry cruising on both sides.

The heavy cavalry recruited can naturally restrain the Xianbei cavalry.

Zhang He's side is a little more difficult, but he can still suppress the opponent with his speed.

However, the horses are not as good as Lian Zhao, their speed cannot be improved much, and their endurance is about the same.

The army began to advance, and during this time even the crossbow arrows had been cocked.

This thing is a bit worn out, but it surpasses the opponent in terms of effective range. If Xianbei dares to get closer, they will suffer at least two to three thousand casualties.

Zhang He wanted to see how many 3000 to [-] casualties the other side had.But until now, he has noticed a little bit.

The opponent draws troops from different tribes, so even if one tribe is completely wiped out, it will not affect the morale of other tribes very much.

It is this difference that allows the opponent to last longer with the same death ratio.

Just this can probably wear down the morale of the Han soldiers until they collapse.

"These Han people are quite difficult to deal with..." Bu Dugen has clearly realized how difficult this Han army is.

In a head-on battle, you will definitely lose. The opponent has too many powerful crossbows, and there are also things that can continuously shoot crossbow bolts.

The opponent's cavalry is also faster than his, especially the heavy cavalry who are not afraid of arrows.

Especially the heavy cavalry, which made Dugen feel very unrealistic. How could they still run so fast wearing such heavy armor?
Since the beginning of the war, more than a thousand people have been defeated by them.

If they hadn't been so dispersed and were surrounded by friendly fire arrows, at least thousands of them would have been defeated by them.

This kind of heavy cavalry was simply born to restrain them, the prairie cavalry.

Fortunately, endurance is generally not good, so as long as you can delay the time, the odds of winning are still on your side.

The heavy cavalry of the old Han Dynasty were defeated by themselves in this way.

Bu Dugen even felt that he was a little drifting. He could defeat the Han army in the past because they had been weak for a long time.

But this Han army is in its heyday no matter how you look at it.

During the heyday of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei was a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

"Run!" Bu Dugen ordered, "Don't fight these Han people head-on. Run and make them exhausted!"

The grassland peoples originally relied on this to bring down the Han people.

If you don’t do what you are good at, why should you challenge what others are good at?
Especially when the opponent has so many infantry, as long as they keep running, the formation will be chaotic and the soldiers will be tired, this is their chance to counterattack!

By then, they were exhausted, let alone fighting with themselves, even if they had the energy to run back.

The Xianbei army began to retreat rapidly, and at the same time dispersed into several small groups, and began to cruise around the periphery of the Han army.

Fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, just like mosquitoes, annoying you endlessly.

But if you ignore his words, he will suddenly jump on you and drink blood.

The problem is that it's not like indoors as it is outdoors. Just light a mosquito coil and spray insecticide.

Zhang He looked in front of him. More than [-] cavalrymen were constantly moving around. There were more than [-] mosquitoes, and everyone had to avoid them.

Seeing that the war has entered the second stage, the other side has changed its war mode and continues to maintain the status quo, which is not in its favor.

Cancel gamification!Zhang He thought for a while and canceled the war gamification.

I haven't finished the game, so I don't have any experience.

But then he gamified the march, which meant that he needed to plan a march route, otherwise he couldn't gamify it.

At the same time, plan the length of the route to determine the lowest game difficulty.

In order to avoid problems with the direction, he roughly determined a direction, then determined it to be about ten kilometers, and entered low-difficulty gamification.

So the army began to move forward. It was not as complicated as the Oregon Trail, and naturally there was no need to save energy.

Of course, those emergencies did not occur again.

In the gamified state of easy difficulty, it has a bit of parkour meaning.

There will be an acceleration channel on the road. Walking on this channel will increase your speed. Otherwise, you will gradually lose your speed if you leave.

Physical consumption will not decrease, but the marching speed will continue to increase.

So Bu Dugen felt that he had really seen a ghost. The Han army following him was getting faster and faster...
