Lu's relatives

Chapter 596

Qin Xu once sent someone to calculate that the theoretical rate of fire of the first-deng Jin crossbow can reach about [-] per second with the calculation method of later generations.In other words, in less than half a breath, a box of ten crossbow arrows is enough to shoot all of them before the opponent has fully reacted.Back then when Lu Bu encountered this big killer, he was still in a panic, let alone Huang Zu, who was good at military strategy but short of bravery.

So even though Huang Zu had already stepped up his defenses after he realized that it was not Liu Pan who "grabbed merit" on the battleship opposite, but the first dead soldier holding a huge crossbow, otherwise he would not have just seen the crossbow raised , regardless of his status, he lay on the inside of the ship's side without grace.This position is blocked by the thick hull, relatively speaking, it is the safest "zone" at the moment.It wasn't until the navy soldiers with arrow shields rushed over that Huang Zu, who couldn't hide his panic, slowly stood up and hid behind the heavy arrow shield.

"Hmph! Jiangdong thief, you want to murder Yu with such a small skill, don't you think it's too tender!" Huang Zu secretly wiped off his cold sweat with several arrows and shields in front of him, sneered, and pointed The others who had first boarded the camp shouted and cursed: "Now you are surrounded by someone, you who are sensible, quickly put down your unnecessary resistance and abandon your weapons, because you are also soldiers and eat food, and you don't know the general trend of the world. My lord has a big heart, and there is still a way for you to survive, if not, with a mere hundred of you, when my army encircles you, you will feed the fish in no time!"

No wonder Huang Zu was confident.Although the first boarding camp was famous five years ago for defeating the world's elite army Baimayi, after all, the main area of ​​activity is in the north. It is not uncommon for southern places like Jingxiang to only know its name but not its army. matter.What's more, because of Qu Yi's arrogance, his former master Yuan Shao was afraid of his subordinates who died first, and he would not deliberately publicize his reputation.Therefore, Huang Zu didn't know much about Xian Deng's camp. Even if he found out that these people were most likely to be the first boarded soldiers who followed Qin Xu south to Jiangdong, he didn't know much about the reason for his fame. killer feature.Moreover, because the order to release the arrows has not been issued, Huang Zu's vigilance has dropped a lot, and his words have become more and more confident.

"Leader, do you think Huang Zu won't really have any support, can he not be afraid of the guys in our hands?" Seeing Huang Zu's flamboyant appearance, it seemed that although he was hiding behind heavy arrows and shields, his expression He didn't seem to care much about the weapon in his hand, but he dared to say such words at such a close distance.Letting Huang Zu taste the "northern specialties" for the first time, who was waiting for the order to recruit, inevitably felt a little strange in his heart.

"Reliance? Try it for a while and you'll know?" Before Huang Zu made the first dodging action, but a little bit of regret flashed on his face, and he didn't give the command to release the arrow anymore. He was listening After hearing the whispered inquiries from the soldiers around him, he was about to shake his head when he suddenly discovered that there was a flash of fire in the dark river outside the nine fighting ships in the east of the Yangtze River that surrounded the two hundred soldiers of our own army. .It was definitely the bright light emitted by the collision of flint, three times in succession.It was only because the Jingxiang navy who had received the order from Huangzu's army focused all their attention on the encircled Qianzhao and others that they didn't attract too many people's attention.But after seeing these blazes, Qianzhao replied with a smile on his face.

"For a while?" I didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of my deputy commander.But seeing that Qianzhao looked confident, he just smiled and didn't speak, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Hmph! I don't know how to flatter you!" Huang Zu's flagship was not far from the battleship where Qianzhao was located. The slightly disdainful smile on Qianzhao's face naturally fell into Huang Zu's eyes, this " Attitude" obviously won't make Huang Zu feel too comfortable.Seeing that his words were obviously taken as deaf ears by the other party, Huang Zu took a glance and had already obeyed his orders. On the two battleships that were gradually encircling the battleship where Qianzhao was located, there were already five or six hundred soldiers holding arrows and shields So many, he nodded in satisfaction, sneered, pointed at Qianzhao and the others, and said with disdain: "Come here, since I don't appreciate it, I will invite Jiangdong's guests to my waiting ship on behalf of someone, and send them to the master. Let's be a guest in front of you!"

"It's this time!" Seeing Huang Zu's flagship and the other two approaching battleships, hundreds of soldiers from the Jingxiang Navy had already set up arrow shields on their own battleships. Hearing Huang Zu's military order, the thick wooden plank had already started rushing toward him, and Qian Zhao, who had been watching Huang Zu's movements, suddenly spoke.

"Whoosh!!!" The more critical the moment, the more it can reflect the strength of an army, whether it can really be ordered and prohibited.Even if he was surrounded by Jingxiang soldiers who were two or three times larger than him, and he was surrounded by the "terrain" on the most unfavorable river, he did not see the soldiers who climbed the camp first holding the hands of the crossbows that climbed first. The slightest shake.After getting the command to lead the move, facing the soldiers of the Jingxiang Navy who were also rushing over on the plank, almost all of them had disdainful smiles on their faces.Pulled the long-awaited crossbow trigger.

That is to say, these people have not personally experienced the misfortune of Liu Pan's army just now. They seriously underestimated the penetrating power and lethality of the first crossbow. The rest of them dared to step on the wide plank between the two boats with their waists bent, and came towards the soldiers who first boarded the camp with murderous aura.

The first soldiers who had already made sufficient preparations at the beginning did not expect that the opponent would be so "cooperative".Many of them aimed their crossbows at the incoming soldiers, and before they could fire them, they were overtaken by their colleagues in the front row.The depression is beyond words.

"This...this is..." Huang Zu was even more depressed.Just now, he was coldly looking at Qianzhao's ignorance, and secretly angry that Qianzhao dared not appreciate his "good intentions".But unexpectedly, in just a moment, the situation on the court was far beyond my expectation.

Because the two sides of the fighting ships that led the move were only put on six planks, each ship sent a vanguard of 15 people to cross the ship against the crossbow arrows that the other party was likely to send out.I thought that no matter how bad it was, it would have some impact on the momentum of the enemy soldiers who were about to pass the ship and could still maintain such calmness, but who would have expected that these 90 people were protected by six arrow shields , just stepped on the side of the opponent's ship, and was shot down in the river by a group of targeted shots from the first crossbow, which was obviously far from comparable to ordinary crossbows in terms of rate of fire and lethality Seeing is dead.

The problem is, Huang Zu could see clearly that this was only caused by the killing weapons in the hands of more than a dozen people!In other words, the opponent still has at least 100 attack methods that can cause such damage that have not been used!Thinking of this, Huang Zu's cold sweat that had just been withdrawn just now came out again in an instant, and his body barely moved behind the three arrow shields in front of him.

Underestimated the enemy!As Gan Ning said before, the best way to fight on water is to use light, practical, and cost-effective bows and arrows for long-range strikes, which is the first choice in battle.But first of all, Huang Zu didn't have an intuitive understanding of Xiandeng Jinnu at all, and he didn't know the horror of this great weapon.Moreover, when there are several large ships surrounded by more than 1000 soldiers and others, and there are arrow shields to resist, there will be no crossbow arrows at all, which are obviously not the first choice for water warfare except for loading and firing speed. The two hundred pioneer soldiers who had no other defensive measures were put in their eyes.Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the idea of ​​persuading them to surrender in the first place, and hadn't arranged for the soldiers under their command to strike long-rangely in the first place.Instead, he made a decision to let his soldiers cross the boat to catch the living!You know, a single soldier of the Lv Bu army is more convincing than a dead man in front of Liu Biao!Furthermore, as a perennial general on the water, for the soldiers who first boarded the camp standing on the opposite boat without moving, one could tell at a glance that these people seemed not familiar with water warfare. Taking a closer look, I can see that the opponent is definitely not the reason for Liu Pan's Jiangdong navy.A group of landlubbers, on a lone boat in the Heiye River?It was as if he was giving credit to someone like Huang Zuhuang.Huang Zu, who was ecstatic in his heart, didn't have time to think about it at all. In this case, why Liu Pan, who also had the advantage of fighting ships before, would give this fighting ship to these landlubbers in his eyes.

"Hmph! Brothers, since General Huang intends to invite us to be 'guests'! We men from the north are most particular about coming and not being indecent! Let's also give you a gift in return, let's talk about it!" Yu was stunned for a moment by the power of climbing the crossbow first, even the soldiers who had surrounded Huang Zu heavily and held up their arrows and shields showed a little negligence because they let the "death squad" die too quickly. How could Qianzhao carelessly miss this opportunity?

"Quick! Block it!" Hurting ten fingers of the enemy is worse than cutting off one. This principle is so simple, but anyone who has read some military books can probably understand the subtleties of this.Huang Zu, who seized the opportunity and was involved in the game, was no exception.Jian Zhaozhao took advantage of the short time when his soldiers were stunned by the battle that could not be regarded as a battle just now, but could only be regarded as massacred by the soldiers who first entered the camp who were regarded as possessions before, and aimed the spearhead at himself.Although he didn't hear the specific meaning expressed in the strong northern dialect of Qianzhao, Huang Zu subconsciously noticed the coldness in his heart, the white sweat on his body, and the intuition for danger cultivated by more than ten years of battlefield experience. Arrived at the intention of recruiting.His face immediately turned pale...

　Christmas Eve!I wish you peace and happiness!
