Lu's relatives

Chapter 591
The power of Xiandeng's crossbow was proved by the thousands of white horses who once ruled the Northland, but were defeated by the [-] dead soldiers of Xiandeng's camp.More recently, even Lu Bu almost stumbled in front of such a big killer and hated Montenegro.Although there are still many restrictions on the range, loading, and subsequent firing of this big killer, it is difficult to be equipped in a large-scale war. Only less than [-] were equipped in the first battalion of more than a thousand people, but if it is used as For a surprise weapon that can change the situation of the battle at close range, it is already enough to make people dread.

Thanks to the extremely inconvenient communication these years, although Liu Pan had vaguely heard of the name of Yuan Shao's subordinates who first went to the camp to make a name for themselves in the North, he had never dealt with him directly, let alone knew that this book was hidden. The extremely strict big killer information.Therefore, when they suddenly discovered that the Jiangdong warship, which was supposed to be empty, was in an ambush, although I was shocked, it was far from the stage of fear, so I could force the soldiers to set up arrow shields with some composure. Withdrew calmly, in order to cause less damage, and withdraw as soon as possible after reconciling with Huang Zu's rear army, and then make another calculation.

"Want to leave? It's so easy!" If it was an ordinary crossbow, Liu Pan's countermeasures were definitely timely and effective.It is also enough to see that although Liu Pan is not well-known in Liu Biao's army, he does have two brushes, at least he is quite brilliant in emergency response on the battlefield.It's a pity that due to the asymmetry of information, Liu Pan dispatched manpower to turn the rudder, and gathered all the soldiers on the deck to stand side by side, erecting the three-inch thick arrow shield, which was doomed to be futile.The reason why the Xiandeng Jin crossbow is called a great killer is not only because of its short arrows and extremely fast firing rate, making it hard to defend against, but more importantly because of the penetrating power of its three-edged arrows. Qin Xu once ordered people to make After testing, within 45 steps (105 meters), the improved Xiandeng crossbow fired stably can penetrate up to [-] layers of leather armor without weakening.Even if it exceeds the effective range of [-] steps ([-] meters), although the aim will be slightly off, its lethality will only be reduced by about [-]%, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary crossbow arrows that only focus on the blunt surface.After seeing Liu Pan's routine actions, there was an uncontrollable smile on Qianzhao's face.

"It's weird!" The two ships were actually quite close.Liu Pan's fighting ship went down the river, and it was not easy to turn the bow of the ship.The lights on the boat were already able to clearly illuminate the indifferent and murderous eyes of the soldiers who first boarded the camp on the boat where Zhao Zhao was.Liu Pan suddenly had a dangerous intuition in his heart.So calm!The other party is too calm!Following Liu Pan's order, because they turned their heads in a hurry, their own soldiers who were crowding around on the deck with their arrows and shields held up, or holding bows and arrows in vain, waiting for Liu Pan's army order to fight back, occupied the deck. Too many positions were placed, making it look messy, but in contrast, the cold light of crossbow arrows on the opponent's ship, which had hardly deviated from the vital points of one's own army, was in stark contrast.What is the other party doing?
"Let Master Qianzhao invite you thieves who wantonly start wars to taste the specialties of the Northland!" Just when Liu Pan was surprised by the strange behavior of Qianzhao and others, did Gao misjudge these obvious things? In terms of height, armor and many other aspects, it looked more like the threat of the "landland duck" in the Northland when the idea of ​​a threat arose.With just this moment of chanting, all the soldiers on the opposite boat have already moved.

As Gan Ning said before.The key to water warfare is suppression.How to use long-range weapons to kill the enemy's vital forces to the maximum is the essence that a qualified naval general should carefully consider.The so-called head-to-board battle is even like the collision of two ships when Gan Ning "captured" more than a hundred soldiers who first boarded the camp.In fact, just like the combat general Lu, either under the absolute advantage, he acts in a deterrent and show-off of the enemy's force, or he finally runs out of ammunition and food, and has to die like this in exchange for a glimmer of life.Under normal circumstances, this kind of desperate play, in which the self-inflicted damage will definitely exceed [-] before injuring the enemy, rarely appears in conventional warfare.

Therefore, long-range strike weapons such as bows and arrows bed crossbows can play a decisive role.This is why in history, when Cao Jun's 80 troops went south to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu dared to ask for orders to fight with only [-] troops and hundreds of thousands of arrows.

It's really not good to go to the camp first and fight in the water!This is an indisputable fact, but when it comes to the means of remote control on the battlefield, if you have a strong crossbow in your hand and a record of being a white horse, to put it bluntly, you can enter the military force that can lead the way. There are really not many below.Not to mention Liu Pan and Huang Zu, even any soldier in Liu Biao's army may not be among them.

"Buzz!..." With a sound different from any kind of bow bed that can make, a special crossbow arrow that leaves the string is beckoned to "fire" on the hand, like a signal, almost only halfway. In just one breath, a thousand crossbow arrows fired five times in a row, like a pouring rain in the dark night, splashed on Liu Pan's ship.

"Ha! Brothers, look, it turns out that they are really a group of landlubbers who have never fought in water battles! There is no need to be afraid! Archers, for a certain..." Just as he noticed that the crossbows in his hands were raised in the standard direction. When it seemed that he was about to face the arrow shield being pushed up by dozens of soldiers, Liu Pan's expression of panic at first due to the heavy burden finally calmed down, and a bit of ridicule appeared instead.Liu Pan's confidence comes from common sense.The river is no better than land. The river wind at night is very strong. Just like Liu Pan’s boat, with sails, sailing with the wind can save a lot of auxiliary troops. If so, it would be quite laborious.Even with ships, as the main long-range attack method, ordinary arrows are also extremely affected by the wind direction of the river, and may even affect the target's hit and lethality.Therefore, if it is not a general who has experienced water battles, in such a situation, let alone the situation of "equal" military strength and combat power, even if the arrow rain is doubled, the hit rate will be small. It's pitiful, let alone causing substantial damage to Liu Pan's ship, which has prepared more than ten arrow shields.Therefore, after Liu Pan realized this "fact", almost at the same moment when he started to move, he decided to teach these generals of the Lv Bu army who dared to act as obstacles to Liu Biao's march into Jiangdong who refused to "desire to return". , What is water warfare.But it is a pity that the speed of the special crossbow shot from the Xiandeng Jin crossbow was beyond Liu Pan's common sense.Liu Pan hadn't finished his words of motivating the army, and the word "counterattack" was still on his lips, when he saw the unreasonable scene in Liu Pan's consciousness.

"General!" The strong wind on the river was still there, and the arrow shield that Liu Panlaizhi thought was essential to his life was also there, but neither of these two things could stop the unreasonable shooting of crossbow arrows, and with a sound, the crossbow arrows penetrated the thick The muffled sound of the wooden boards, followed by the horrified screams of the self-armed soldiers who were injured by the unabated crossbow arrows, seemed to be exhausted until their strength was exhausted, and it was hard to believe why they were clearly hiding in the thick After the arrow shield, it will be injured!There were even more than a dozen soldiers holding bows and arrows, waiting for Liu Pan's army order to prepare to fight back. They were injured by the arrow that pierced through the body of the robe in front. It is impossible to mention counterattack again.

"How did this happen? How did this happen!" Pulled away by the soldiers close to him, he managed to dodge the arrow that passed by his side, but the sharp wind, which was different from Jiang Feng, still made Liu Pan's neck I felt a biting chill on my skin.Seeing that except for the auxiliary soldiers paddling in the bilge who were not attacked by the rain of arrows, whether it was the soldiers with shields or the archers with bows in Squad A, except for more than a dozen extremely "lucky" who were not affected, almost It was a place of death and injury.Even soldiers standing behind people who were lucky enough to be blocked by the former to block most of the crossbow's force, or soldiers who did not hurt their vital parts, because of the three-edged bloodletting groove on the crossbow bolt, after seeing a burst of painful hissing, they gradually There was no sound.This is completely different from the situation that Liu Pan had envisioned before, so much so that Liu Pan still kept a mockery of the general countermeasures of leading the way and breaking the boat. Now it seems that this expression seems to be left by Liu Pan. own.

"General, it's impossible to do anything, it's better to get out early!" Thanks to Liu Pan's side, he didn't know that there were only two bases for the crossbows and arrows that the soldiers of the pioneers had, that is, each crossbow could fire two rounds stock.And in the case of extremely difficult loading, the next round can only be loaded after ten breaths at the earliest.In fact, enough time has been left for Liu Pan and the remaining soldiers to escape.But Liu Pan's soldiers and generals didn't know about these secrets!The soldiers around Liu Pan saw that just one round of shooting wiped out most of the living forces on the deck.But the opponent stopped shooting. Instead, a group of people went down to the bottom cabin and slowly slid the ship closer. It is also said that the opponent saw that the basic resistance force had been wiped out, so he didn't want to waste arrows, but wanted to come to meet the ship. Fight, hurriedly urged Liu Pan to say.

"No! No! They only have two hundred landlubbers! We still have 50 auxiliary soldiers who are familiar with water, and there are still more than 20 soldiers who can fight. On this big river, we still have the strength to fight! No! It can't be so easy Just give up!" Although the soldiers around him didn't explicitly say that they wanted to abandon the ship and leave, so as to avoid being made dumplings by the soldiers, Liu Pan subconsciously shook his head.No one would understand the grief and indignation of Liu Pan, who wanted to perform well in front of Liu Biao, after his "dream" was shattered.It's too embarrassing to just admit defeat without firing an arrow.Not to mention that there was no way to make Liu Biao look at him differently, Huang Zu, who was only thinking of killing himself, would never easily bypass him after seeing that he had lost a boat.Now Liu Pan looked at the Jiangdong warship that was getting closer and closer, and was about to hit it, his eyes were red, and he roared almost crazily.

"General! Don't do it!" The people around him wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Pan broke free from the pressed arm, stood up, and pulled out the horizontal knife with his backhand, as if he was about to charge forward.

"General, I'm sorry! Such a weapon can pierce even arrows and shields. We can't stop it with flesh and blood! The last general will just die like this!" Seeing that Liu Pan refused to listen to people's advice , who had already been overwhelmed by the power of the first crossbow, the sailors who were lucky enough not to suffer this time, all looked at each other in unison, and one of them had a hideous look on his face, and he took the handle of the knife and slammed at Liu Pan Nao hit back.
