Chapter 122: Battlefield Training
"Damn, they have so many crossbows and bows!"
Zhang Kejiang, who was agile, saw that the arrow rain had just risen, so he squatted down and hid under the women's wall. Hearing the "clang" sound of the dense crossbow arrows shooting on the bluestone, Zhang Kejiang's scalp was numb, and it was obvious that he had already passed the tea kung fu, and this round of arrow rain of the officers and soldiers had not stopped.
Ten arrows! It's all ten arrows!
Ten arrows, ten arrows in one box! If you can't stop shooting, then the arrows won't stop! And as long as the arrow box is enough, the arrow rain will never stop.
Damn officers and soldiers, they have such sharp weapons in their hands!
No less demanding than longbows, crossbows, and bows for archers. Cultivating a qualified archer is at least two or three years, many years, five or six years, and the amount of money spent during this period is not only thousands?
However, even so, all the armies in the lower world today are still dominated by archers. In fact, the cost of a crossbow and bow is much more than the total amount of money it takes to train an archer.
No one is stupid, and if crossbows and bows are more affordable, what army is willing to spend so much time to train ordinary archers? You know, compared to longbows, crossbows and bows have almost no technical content, as long as people with some strength can shoot them, and the soldiers of the army can easily get started without any special training. Although it is difficult to reach the point of crossing the Yang in 100 steps, on the battlefield of tens of millions of people, it really does not matter if you are accurate.
The army is the most practical place in the world, and the only reason that can limit the number of crossbows and bows is the high cost.
Not to mention the high-end thing in the crossbow and bow of the world, which is the ordinary crossbow and bow, which is also expensive, each with a few dozen or more hundreds.
However, this point is not a problem at all for the local tyrant Xu Chen!
A person who is willing to spend thousands of copper dollars and only equip a soldier will not care about spending a few hundred more at all.
At this moment, not only Zhang Kejiang, but also Yang Xun, who was also hiding under the female wall, also hated Xu Chen's ruined behavior.
The crossbows and arrows that were shot one after another, were they iron? They were all copper coins!
Xu Chen, who was under the city wall, didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Xun's complaints, and seeing that the first round of arrow rain had crushed the rebels to their feet, Xu Chen immediately ordered the teenagers to stop shooting. The army under Xu Chen's command is naturally equipped with first-class equipment, if Xu Chen is willing, he can keep shooting like this, then the rebels on the city wall will never be able to fight back.
It's just that the rebels are not stupid, they will always stand at the head of the city for you to shoot, and just now they were caught off guard and killed and injured many archers of the rebels. Now, the rebels who have a defense only need to hide under the women's wall. As for relying on these iron arrows to collapse the bluestone city wall several feet high......
Xu Chen is just a local tyrant, not an idiot!
What's more, these crossbow arrows are specially made with crossbows and bows, and their prices are really the same as copper coins of the same weight. Although Xu Chen brought a lot this time, it was not inexhaustible.
Today's battle is just to get these recruits to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield. Attacking oneself wantonly and the enemy is powerless is obviously the most suitable for cultivating the confidence of the newly recruited soldiers.
When the recruits get used to the suppression of the enemy on the battlefield, the fear of battle can be reduced a lot.
Although this qiē relied on the excellent equipment on his body, Xu Chen would not be stupid enough to let the soldiers under his command fight the enemy with their bare hands! The soldiers' dependence on high-quality equipment, Xu Chen did not think this was a bad thing.
At first, the nearly 1,000 veterans only shot a round of arrow rain, and then retreated in an orderly manner.
Immediately after that, a third of the veterans in the queue were withdrawn, filled by new recruits, and once again marched towards the city walls.
When the rebels on the city wall saw that the officers and soldiers had stopped the rain of arrows, some of their own bold people poked their heads out to watch, but saw that the officers and soldiers had retreated.
Yang Xun couldn't understand Xu Chen's intentions, but since the official army had already entered the firing range, how could the rebels on the city wall not be able to seize this rare opportunity?
The arrows flew out, as if the scene was repeated.
In fact, it is indeed not much different from the scene just now, but it is the first time that the recruits in the queue under the city wall have gone into battle, and there will inevitably be many mistakes under the panic.
Fortunately, each recruit was surrounded by two veterans, and the trembling shield in the recruit's hand was tightly held by two big hands, one left and one right, and under the guidance of the veteran, the crossbow and bow on the recruit's back were removed, trembling to wind the crossbow and bow, and the shield was removed from a small hole in panic, and the crossbow and bow poked out, until a box of crossbow and arrows shot into the air, and the recruits whose brains were blank only came back to their senses in the older's encouragement.
No one cares about accuracy, and the first time they go into battle, it is rare to be able to successfully shoot a box of crossbows and arrows. Rather than reproach, encouragement is obviously more useful for recruits at the moment.
With the last encounter, the rebel archers on the castle tower decisively crouched down after shooting an arrow, and hid under the female wall, hiding tightly, leaving no loopholes.
It's just that the rebel archers, who have a keen sense, clearly found that this time the rain of arrows was obviously a few minutes lower than the night just now, and the sound of iron arrows hitting the city was a little more sparse than just now.
People who can be archers have always had a keen perception, and there is such a clear difference between the officers and the army in the rain of arrows, the archers are sure that there is nothing wrong with it!
Just as a few bold archers couldn't stand the doubts in their hearts and were about to lean out to take a look, they didn't expect the next round of arrow rain to follow.
This time, the officers and soldiers actually shot two rounds, no, three rounds of arrows......
Under the leadership of the veterans, after three rounds of arrow rain, the three hundred recruits who went into battle were obviously much more stable, although they could not be said to have broken into butterflies, but the temperament of the whole person had changed greatly.
Seeing this, Xu Chen nodded slightly.
This round of attacks ended, and the officers and soldiers withdrew again.
A moment later, the officers and soldiers who had completed the formation set off again. It's just that in the queue this time, one hundred veterans and two hundred new recruits who just joined were withdrawn, and three hundred recruits were replenished again, but one hundred recruits who had performed well in the attack just now were left behind and were fortunate enough to continue to participate in the next round of attack.
These 100 recruits who have just had some "successful" experience are even more active than the 600 veterans, guiding and helping the recruits who have just joined everywhere.
Once a companion of the same level as himself, at this moment he has become the "back" of being instructed by himself, and the pride in his heart suddenly swells up like a flame. I can't wait to rush to the city wall and kill it again......
With the care of 600 veterans, I am not afraid of any flaws in these 100 proud recruits.
There are pride, but naturally there are also dissatisfied! Obviously, a guy who was at the same level a quarter of an hour ago, he only went to the battlefield once, and he couldn't even take down the enemy's fur, but he dared to run and be triumphant, which made his companions, who were also teenagers, how could they be convinced?
Zhang Tianyi is the second round of recruits who were replaced, to be honest, this is also the first time he has been on the battlefield, to say that he is not nervous at all, it is a lie. It's just that Zhang Tianyi, who was already self-sustaining martial arts, was now stimulated by his companions, and the little nervousness in his heart was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
Skillfully put on the arrow box, skillfully remove the shield, and then skillfully shoot the crossbow arrows, the usual hard training played a good effect at this moment, several crossbow arrows actually passed through the holes in the female wall, drilled into the eyes of the rebels behind!
At the sound of the howl, the wounded rebel archer stood up in pain, covered his eyes with his hands, and jumped to his feet. It was only a moment before he was shot as a hedgehog......
The morale of the officers and soldiers under the city wall was suddenly boosted!
Zhang Tianyi, who made meritorious contributions in the first battle, became the object of praise from the veterans, Zhang Tianyi's eyelids were overflowing, and the 100 veterans who went into battle before him lowered their heads in shame......
"Damn! This guy is actually using the battlefield to train his troops! Let's practice, but he still deliberately plays these scheming, is he showing his grasp of people's hearts?"
Yang Xun, who was hiding under the women's wall, gritted his teeth and was angry.
This is Xu Chen's method, he said to Zhou Kang yesterday that Yang Xun would definitely give him this opportunity to "train the army leisurely", and now, it is indeed the case!
Xu Chen, who has a strong long-range strike ability, is not worried that Yang Xun will not give him this opportunity at all, because Yang Xun is powerless to fight back!
Downstairs in the city, the officers and soldiers retreated, and soon approached again, each time a hundred veterans would be reduced, and three hundred recruits who had never been in battle would be added to the fixedly, and then one hundred more recruits who had just experienced the battle formation would be left behind.
The cycle goes on and on, and after the veterans in the team have completely retreated, the remaining soldiers and horses have been experienced.
It's just that Yang Xun, who has seen through Xu Chen's treacherous scheme, will let him succeed recklessly?
Soon, when a new round of officers and troops marched within range of the rebel archers below the walls, not a single arrow fell from the walls.
When Xu Chen, who was in the ranks of the officers and soldiers, saw it, he had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
In this world, no one is stupid!
Without the rebels' feather arrows, the officers and teenagers will be like a play on stage alone, but without the villain, what is the point of leaving the protagonist to jump on the stage alone?
Without the whetstone of the rebels, Xu Chen's dispatch of troops was just a formality. Recruits who are already sure that the enemy will not fight back, where will they be nervous about the battlefield?
Running forward and shooting a few rounds of arrow rain, you can't even achieve the purpose of the practice, and you can't even laugh!
Xu Chen had no choice but to wave his hand and let the teenagers withdraw.
The rebel archers, who had not heard the sound of iron arrows hitting the bluestone city wall for a long time, once again cautiously poked their heads out.
This time, they weren't attacked again!
The ranks of officers and soldiers had clearly retreated a mile, as if they were resting in place.
After confirming that there was no danger, Yang Xun and Zhang Kejiang, the two rebel commanders, straightened up one after another.
"Damn it!"
Looking at Xu Chen under the city wall in the distance, Yang Xun was angry in his heart.
"Brother Yang, what should I do with these iron arrows?"
The wooden gate tower has been covered with dense iron arrows.
"Pull it out, send it to the workshop, and melt it down to make weapons!" Yang Xun gritted his teeth and said.
