Chapter 533 Cross-era Arms [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

The other cavalry was also divided into two, cruising outside the battlefield, ready to support the actions of the Yueqi Battalion at any time.

Before Dugu Longcheng could organize his army, two cavalry units suddenly gave up their front line.

Dugu Longcheng also saw a group of galloping chariot soldiers, protecting a group of blood-stained infantrymen, slowly walking towards their camp.

"What a great teamwork..." Yang Duanhe had no idea how many times he had been shocked by the Yulin Guards.

This kind of cooperation is simply the enemy's nightmare on a small-scale battlefield.

Dugu Longcheng’s current reaction proves how terrifying the Yulin Guards are.

They didn't give the enemy any chance to prepare for battle. They appeared suddenly like a god descending from the sky, and cut off all their retreat routes.

"Listen to my voice!"

However, the first to take action were not the Yue cavalry and the Hu cavalry, nor were they the Huben Camp that had already invaded Dugu Long City, but the Shesheng Camp that came from behind the Huben Camp.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Three sharp and piercing sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Yang Duanhe and others subconsciously looked towards the flag of Shesheng Camp.

Under the fluttering Haidong Green Eagle flag, the second vehicle had completed three rapid shots, targeting the frontline position of the Dugu Longcheng army.

The three arrows were directed towards the left side, right side and rear of the front camp of Dugu Longcheng's army.

"Fire, three shots in a row!" The flag officers of the Shesheng Camp stood in front of the soldiers and waved the triangular command flags.

"Swoosh..." There was another sharp sound of arrows.

A rain of arrows instantly flew off the bowstrings and shot towards the front camp of the Dugu Longcheng army.

Three consecutive rounds, three waves of arrows covered the front camp one after another.

After completing the first round of attack, the Shesheng Camp moved forward another hundred steps, and then all the soldiers drew their bows and arrows again, waiting for the second order from the second cavalry.

Three more arrows were fired, this time the target was the center of Dugu Longcheng's army. The three arrows blocked the left, right and rear directions of Dugu Longcheng's army.

"How terrible!" Yang Duanhe and other Qin generals turned pale.

They were all middle and high-level officers in the Qin Army, so naturally they had extraordinary knowledge.

But what did they see? The soldiers of the Shesheng Camp did not look at all. Instead, they listened to the sound of the three arrows shot by the second convoy and started shooting.

The most terrifying thing is that all the projectiles accurately hit the front camp and the middle camp of the Dugu Longcheng army, and none of them exceeded the range defined by the second circle.

Almost perfect coverage of the front camp and the middle camp.

"Is this the beyond-visual-range strike of the Shesheng Battalion?" Yang Duanhe looked at the second charioter who was standing high and looking far ahead.

He finally understood what the second multiplication meant by fortune-telling.

Because the chariot that the second vehicle rode was different. In addition to the camp flag, the chariot was specially built with a tall flagpole. Above the flagpole and under the camp flag, there was also a small platform, and the second vehicle was standing there to shoot the guiding arrow.

Standing so high, he would also become the primary target if the enemy counterattacked.

After all, you are standing so high and only you can be seen. Who else can I shoot if not you?

If you really want to become the commander of Shesheng Camp, it depends on your fate and whether your horoscope is strong enough.

It was a bit of a waste of the commander. After just two rounds of arrow rain, the second one came down from the mast.

He is not stupid. Beyond visual range attacks are just bullying the opponent because they cannot see them and cannot attack them.

Now the positions have moved forward again, and both sides have entered the attack range of each other's archers. If you stand on top of them, even the turtle's eight characters will not be enough to attack you.

The archer is a master of archery, and he can follow the slightest sound to find the target.

Yang Duanhe was one of the top generals of the Qin State, so naturally he knew something about sharpshooters.

The arrows of the second vehicle and those of the officers in the army had obviously been modified.

When their arrows are shot, they make a sharp sound, which guides the soldiers who are shooting them.

The soldiers only need to determine the enemy's position according to the sound of their superiors' arrows and shoot the arrows in their hands.

Moreover, there were fifteen arrows in the quiver of the Shesheng Camp soldiers, but they were all of different lengths.

In the first and second rounds of shooting, their arrows were thicker and longer, and the arrowheads were heavier.

It was not until the third round of arrow rain attack, which was about to be launched, that normal arrows were used.

But looking at the longbow and powerful crossbow used for projectiles, Yang Duanhe didn't think that ordinary crossbows could compare with the range and lethality of this strong bow and crossbow that could be used for projectiles.

The most crucial thing is that Yang Duanhe thought that the soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion used their feet to shoot bows in the first and second rounds, and the same would be true in the third round.

Unexpectedly, this third round of arrow rain attack was completely different from the previous two rounds.

The Shesheng Camp changed its formation.

They started to spread out in groups of three, with their respective team leaders beginning to look for cover and directions to launch attacks.

The secondary archer will fire bows and crossbows continuously, causing arrows to fly all over the sky, forcing the enemy to be unable to fight back.

The main shooter will look for targets and enemy commanders that can threaten them based on the team leader's observations.

Under the suppression of the rain of arrows from the Shesheng Camp, the chariots of the Huben Camp had also started, and quickly launched a thunder charge towards the enemy, moving forward against the rain of arrows behind them, as if they were not worried at all about being accidentally injured by friendly forces.

"This is called Xu Jin Arrow Curtain!" Dian Qing knew what Yang Duanhe was wondering about and explained.

"Xu Jin's arrow curtain?" Yang Duanhe was a little surprised.

"The Shesheng Camp will attack the enemy's camp in the first and second rounds of projectiles, and in the third round will suppress the enemy's archer corps, not giving them the opportunity to attack the soldiers in the front, thus covering the attack of the Huben Camp. This tactic is called the Xu Jin Arrow Curtain by the king." Dian Qing said with a smile.

"Clang~Ding~Clang~Ding~" A sound of metal mechanical friction was heard, and the chariots in the Huben Camp that had been covered with red cloth were opened. Five Mohist mechanical white tigers suddenly appeared on the battlefield, covering the chariots as they started to move, and rushed towards the enemy's already chaotic front camp.

However, the Mechanical White Tiger lagged behind the chariot by half a step, and was followed by groups of Tiger Guards from all around.

"What is this?" Yang Duanhe looked at Dian Qing.

"Human-machine collaboration, using the White Tiger's solidity to protect the soldiers around it, and the soldiers can in turn protect the soldiers operating the mechanical White Tiger." Dian Qing continued.

Yang Duanhe was silent.

If the Qin warriors encounter this kind of unreasonable human-machine collaboration, can they really overcome all obstacles and overcome difficulties?
The sharp warrior is powerful and can smash the enemy's defensive shield with his burst of energy, but can he smash the mechanical white tiger?
Yang Duanhe shook his head. The Mechanical White Tiger was one of the four great mechanical beasts of the Mohist school. It was mainly used for killing and was a powerful weapon on the battlefield. Even if the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty encountered the Mechanical White Tiger, they had to avoid its edge or attack it with catapults.

It is impossible to fight against the White Tiger with human power unless we send out those sword master-level masters.

However, in the chaos of the army, even a sword master-level expert might not be able to kill the soldier controlling the white tiger.

The elite of the Yulin Guard seemed to be a product of a different era, not only the Shesheng Battalion, but now the Huben as well.

What about the Yueqi, Huqi, Tunqi, the bloody cavalry that are famous all over the world in Bingzhou?
