Chapter 391 Qingzhou Soldiers VS Danyang Soldiers

How lethal is the crossbow array?

In the Battle of Jieqiao, galloping across northern borders, the unparalleled Gongsun Zan Baima Yicong was struck by Quyi's thousand crossbows like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and fell off his horse with a splash, causing Yuan Shao to slap the shit out of him.

Even Mr. Cao suffered from this loss. During the Yanzhou battle with Lu Bu, Mr. Cao used the cavalry as a pioneer to attack Lv Bu's main formation, but he encountered Gao Shun's trapped camp and used the strong crossbow formation to cooperate with archers to snipe. Cao's cavalry When the Chinese army was shot to pieces, they used Liangzhou iron cavalry to attack the Qingzhou soldiers on Mr. Cao's right. As a result, the Qingzhou soldiers were smashed, and Mr. Cao almost lost everything in that battle.

Now, Wang Hou's Qingzhou crossbow formation has made another contribution!

The two bows and the pulley block provide super ejection power. The specially made forged armor-piercing arrow, although limited by the length of the arrow body, is not as far as the bow, but it is 50 meters, and it has entered the range of precise killing.

bang bang bang bang...

The Danyang soldier holding his shield to cover his face was running away wheezing!Suddenly, his shield trembled, and in his straightened eyes, a hole suddenly appeared in the right corner, and the crossbow arrow flew past his face, leaving a hot bloodstain, and pierced the back of his teammate. on the shield.

Looking at the trembling crossbow arrow buttocks, covering the wound on his face, before the Danyang soldier yelled that he was unlucky, he already knew how lucky he was, so he was next to him, urinating and burning his big watch with mud since he was a child There was a trembling crossbow arrow on his forehead, and he lay on the ground directly while maintaining a charging posture.

A thousand double-bow steel crossbows opened at least a dozen holes in the Danyang army formation, and besides them, the Northern Army also had [-] Qingzhou pulley bows to help out!Even in the face of a shield formation, these heavy bows can still maintain sufficient lethality, as the Roman legion led by Crassus against the famous Parthian general Suleiman's Battle of Kale has confirmed this.

These Qingzhou soldiers holding elite equipment seemed to grow out of the ground. They held the release device and shot out the heavy armor-piercing arrows in their hands. Either pierced the cheek behind the shield, or shot through the arm holding the shield. When the Danyang soldiers charged to a distance of 30 meters, the momentum of the charge was completely disrupted by the crossbow array.

Then it was Wang Hou's turn to attack!

In Zhou Yu's shocked eyes, Qingzhou heavy infantrymen, holding heavy axes and guns and wearing armor all over their bodies, appeared again like iron men. Amid the whistling sound of axes, the sharpened first row of axes and guns slammed down fiercely. The sharp voice on the buffalo leather shield of the Danyang soldiers made Zhou Yu's face twitch.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw, it is an eternal truth!In order to pursue the lightness of fighting and increase the protective area, it is necessary to sacrifice strength!Painted with lacquer, the tough buffalo leather shield may be enough to protect most of the spears and halberds in this era and the bamboo bows everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River!But this time it met the powerful Qingzhou Steel Axe and Wang Houxin Qingzhou Bing, who just trains his muscles!
Facing the coming heavy axe, a Danyang soldier subconsciously raised his shield to block, but amidst the sound of clicking, the ax blade passed through the shield, and even the hand holding his shield was cut off in half, the heavy cowhide The big shield fell with a bang, no longer caring about the bloodstains on his face, clutching his severed hand, the Danyang soldier screamed terribly.

But in the next second, the spear blades from the second row pierced into his throat with precision, and the screams and groans stopped abruptly.

Double row tactics!

Even if the shield soldiers in the first row use the edge of the shield, other positions block the fiercely slashing ax blade, and the heavy infantry in the front row drags the tomahawk that has been cut in and pulls it back. Chance to end.

In fact, even if the difference in equipment is eliminated, in plain warfare, troops with long weapons can still completely defeat troops with short weapons. To give the simplest example, I can stab you with one shot, but you can't cut me with one blow!
I have to admit that there are bloody and brave men in the Danyang soldiers. Seeing the rounds of big axes and windmills, and my big cousin, second uncle, grandpa and third uncle being knocked to the ground one after another, the blood feud aroused by the rural complex, Taking advantage of the gap between the Qingzhou heavy infantry's attack, a stupefied kid rushed out of the formation while roaring, holding a big shield and raising a knife straight to the face of the Qingzhou soldier who was closest to him. This posture is completely desperate for life , Killing a worthwhile move.

It's a pity, even so, he didn't get what he wanted, so he didn't run two steps. He suddenly felt that his calf was cold at first, and then hot, and he couldn't support his weight anymore in the numbness, so he fell down on the charging road, angry When he raised his head desperately, the big ax hanging by the gun slashed at his head again!
Three row tactics!

In Wang Hou's infantry training code, when the formation is the thinnest, there must be three rows of heavy infantry, and the third row of axes and guns specializes in attacking the next three lanes. Just seeing the two rows of spear blades slashing and killing in front, the Danyang soldiers charging desperately He didn't see the third row of ax spears slanted downward against the height of his calf, and the sharp ax blade easily cut off his calf, nipping his desperate blow in the bud.

In fact, if the complete formation is maintained, the shield formation of the Danyang soldiers will not fall into such a big disadvantage against the halberd soldiers. The rest are beaten!

"This is not a Black Bandit! It can't be a Black Bandit!"

At the back of the formation, on the noisy battlefield, even if Zhou Yu was riding a horse, he could only see rows of bloody axes that were suddenly raised high.Hearing the screams of his subordinates, the indifferent appearance of Mei Zhoulang disappeared completely, his handsome face was distorted to the point of ferocity, Zhou Yu was as anxious as a duck on a hot pot, he jumped off the horse suddenly, and faced People around shouted loudly.

"Order Ling Cao, Huang Gai's troops to speed up the march, and attack this... from the flank..., this Black Mountain elite soldier, rescue the main formation! Order Tai Shici to attack the north of Piling City, to attract the attention of the Black Mountain Army, hurry up..."

But after he finished shouting the heart-piercing order, before the orderer could carry it out, a burst of intense and hasty sound hit his ears like thunder.

Suddenly, the gate of Piling City was opened, and a group of heavy cavalry in the dusty place was also wearing black breastplate armor, and even the horses were covered with a layer of steel-inlaid armor. Go out, and charge out along the gap between the various formations of the Wu army.

The first moment he saw these cavalrymen, Mishuro almost didn't cry!

Regardless of whether these cavalry are only two hundred or five hundred, for Wu Jun, there is only one word left!
Lost in the bloody battle!
Seeing Chen Wu still commanding in the army formation with his big gun hissing with all his might, drooping his head dejectedly, and facing the orderly who was also stunned beside him, Zhou Yu hummed helplessly.

"The previous order is invalid, pass the order to Huang Gai, Tai Shici and the others, retreat immediately, run as far as you can!"
