Bows and crossbows are fired, and arrows are like flying locusts.

Between Guan Yu's Moon Formation and the Wuhuan Cavalry Formation of the King of Difficulty, hundreds of arrows rose into the air every second, flying one or two hundred steps away, and patches of white tail feathers were planted on the black soil by the Xiaoyu water.

The gale wind blows through the tail feathers, causing the shaft of the arrow to sway in the soft earth, like a reed full of white reeds.

As the enemy army became more and more arrogant, some links in Guan Yu's car formation were almost shaken.

The main thing is that the soldiers feel that it is too aggrieved to fight like this! Then they asked the commander for orders to use a crossbow to fight back!

Until this moment, the density of firepower exposed by Guan Yu's army is still relatively low - all the crossbows, because the enemy has not yet entered the range of cluster arrows, was ordered by Guan Yu not to expose firepower, and must continue to hold on!

Guan Yu learned this hand from Koji Yi, in order to show weakness and let the enemy underestimate the enemy and rush up.

The Wuhuan Turquoise was far more mobile than the Han army, so they could run if they found that they couldn't beat it.

The key to defeating the enemy of the Han army has never been how to fight, but how to make the enemy willing to fight you to the death-

Since the two Han Dynasty, as long as the Hu people are willing to fight the Han army to the end and fight to the death and do not retreat, the Han army will definitely take advantage.

Guan Yu is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period and delves into the history of wars, and he has long known those battle examples.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling took 5,000 foot soldiers out of the fortress, and beat the Xiongnu with more than 100,000 horsemen who could not get close. In the end, more than a million arrows were shot before they were destroyed. Li Ling also said that if there was another supply of 100,000 arrows, he could definitely hold out until he withdrew to Guannai.

However, showing weakness is also based on the Basic Law, and it is necessary to show weakness in a targeted manner. From Li Ling to Koji Yi to Guan Yu, they are all studying this topic.

All the performances of the Han army on the battlefield today are the embodiment of Guan Yu's research results.

Today's situation is like two elementary school students fighting.

The first one is actually armed with a sharp blade and is invincible in close combat, but because of his clumsy body and slow running, he can't catch up with the enemy.

The second is thin and agile, and is more good at melee combat, but it is more accurate to throw stones and hit people, and has an advantage when opening up distances.

At the beginning of the battle, the two sides first threw small pebbles at each other to harass each other, and the strong man in melee at this stage must be at a loss, so how can he lure the other party to melee with you?

Anyone who has seen elementary school students fight knows that the key at this time is the "spiritual victory method", for example, when the opponent's stone is thrown on you, you laugh and ridicule: spicy chicken! This drizzle doesn't hurt at all! Waste, cubs! Have the ability to rush up and go head-to-head! Pebbles don't break the defense at all!

Of course, at the same time of mocking, you can't really just mock, you also have to throw pebbles to fight back.

And as long as the pebbles you throw can make the other party hurt a little, and your acting skills are good enough, and you don't show a little pain, you can make the other party believe that he really didn't break the defense, and you won't lose blood at all if you don't rush up to melee combat, then he will not be able to hold his breath.

The key to this is "acting", which corresponds to the combat skills of the troops, that is, "military discipline"!

If the military discipline is strict, the soldiers will not be shot in disorder, and if there are casualties, they will act as if there are no casualties. As long as it doesn't mess up, the other party will believe that they shoot without success, and hit you without losing blood.

And if you hit him, it will more or less make him bleed, and he will be impetuous, and change tactics.

As for whether you actually lose blood or not, it doesn't matter anymore - war is not a game, and soldiers don't have a blood bar on their heads.

In fact, if you shoot him fifty arrows, he will die, and if he shoots you thirty arrows, you will die.

But you show him a fake blood bar, and the blood bar shows that he shoots you a hundred arrows before you die. Then he will rush up decisively and stop shooting at you.

……

Guan Yu could understand the fifth layer, and the King of Nanqiao and Yan Rou were only at the third layer at most.

It's a pity that the soldiers under Guan Yu were originally only on the first layer, and they reluctantly followed up the realm to the second and third layers by relying on Guan Yu's compassion for the soldiers and making the soldiers willing to believe him.

But there are still soldiers with low consciousness who can't understand, especially those Danyang soldiers who don't like to be beaten in vain and pretend not to be in pain, and there is almost a riot.

"Tun Chief, I can't stand it, why don't I quickly replace the crossbow with a wooden feather spear to fight back. Relying on these bows and crossbows to shoot at the Wuhuan people doesn't mean that they will be beaten in vain? ”

The Danyang soldiers of a tun couldn't bear it at first, and they had seventy or eighty soldiers in this tun, corresponding to five chariots equipped with crossbows. All the soldiers set up their shields along the car, and after a long fire, nearly a tenth of the wounded appeared, but fortunately most of the arrow wounds were not deep.

The name of the tun chief is Fu Shiren, a native of Guangyang County, and he is the first batch of veterans recruited by Liu Bei to join the township before he served as the commander of Liangxiang County.

He knew that the Danyang soldiers liked to fight with the wind, and they had very poor patience for this kind of angry thing, so he drew his saber and repeatedly flicked it, and told the soldiers about Guan Yu's tactical thinking, hoping that everyone would understand and cooperate, but he still almost couldn't control the situation.

He had no choice but to point to Guan Yu, who was standing still, to boost morale: "Look at Captain Guan!" Guan Duwei himself was hit by an arrow and didn't move, why? Isn't it because it's useless to convince Hu Dog that they fight like this! As long as the dogs rush up, they will be dead!

If anyone gets more arrows than Guan Duwei, I will allow him to hide under the car and no longer have to set up a shield for the crossbowman!" Do what I say, do you dare! If anyone retires, I will go up myself and replace his vacancy to help him set up a shield! ”

These words really set an example, and those Danyang hammer shield soldiers looked at Guan Yu and then at Fu Shiren, and finally calmed down a little.

But after a while, there was a Danyang strong man who had three arrows in his body, and he was the person with the most arrows in Tunzhong, more than Guan Yu.

Fu Shiren had to fulfill his promise on the spot, and ordered the strong man to be pulled under the chariot to cover up, and he personally took the other party's shield to the first line of shields!

After holding on for a few more minutes, Fu Shiren, who was wearing metal armor, was also shot with an arrow in the gap between the arm armor and the breastplate, and he immediately felt pain into the bone marrow, but the more senior officers were insisting, and he had no choice but to insist.

The Danyang soldiers beside him were slightly shaken at the moment when he was hit by the arrow, but seeing that he still insisted on being on the front line, this vacillation was stabilized.

Fu Shiren didn't know how long he held on, but because he was not as skilled with a shield as those Danyang soldiers, he was hit by two arrows in succession, and finally fell down, dying in anger.

But the soldiers around him saw that he was leading by example and did not retreat, but they also mustered up a strong fighting spirit, inherited his will and continued to hold the shield against attrition.

……

On the battlefield, there has never been a situation in which the morale of the attacker was so demoralized as "you shoot a white shot, I'm fine."

Sure enough, although the cavalry under the command of King Nanqiao was also causing damage to the Han army, because the surface of the Han army's large array did not move at all, from generals like Guan Yu to grassroots officers like Fu Shiren to ordinary Danyang soldiers, their acting skills were outstanding.

The Wuhuan people thought that they had not caused harm, and finally became more and more impetuous, and their morale was weakened.

No one wants to shed blood and do useless work at the same time.

Seeing it in his eyes, the king knew that if he continued to consume himself like this, his morale would collapse, so he could only force the whole army to rush forward to fight in close combat.

Every enemy hacked to death in close combat was witnessed by one's own eyes, and this style of play was the most morale-boosting.

King Nanqiao's face became more and more ugly, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "It seems that this time he was really tricked by the Han army!" Their arrows are so sparse that they must not have many crossbowmen, but all of them have set up strong shields to lure us.

Otherwise, the shield array can only block the arrows fired flat in the front row, and cannot block the arrows thrown over the top, our warriors have been throwing at the open area behind the Han army's shield array for so long, and the Han army is not chaotic, maybe it is hollow inside! There is no depth of archers at all in the position that we can't see behind us! Guan Yu will make a circle of arrows with an empty outer circle to deceive me! ”

Thinking of this, the king of Nanqiao officially ordered: "All rush up and fight hand-to-hand with the Han army!" The shields on these chariots are nothing to fear! Behind the Han army's shield array must be hollow! There won't be many crossbowmen! ”

In an instant, thousands of horses rushed together.

Guan Yu, who was wearing two layers of fish scale armor, finally sneered when he saw this scene. With a casual swipe of his hand, he broke the shafts of the arrows that had not been able to penetrate the two sets of iron armor at all, and waited for the enemy to get close before raising his left hand and waving it crosswise.

The meaning of this gesture is to let the crossbow on the left side of the formation shoot at the front right, and the crossbow on the right side will shoot at the front left, forming crossfire.

There is a key word in the first camp of Koji Yi to break the white horse righteousness, which is called "shooting it with a strong crossbow 'clip'", and many people will ignore the word "clip" of this magic pen.

The essence of the clamp is "crossfire".

The bow and arrow is a projectile weapon, and what the projectile weapon leaves on the ballistic surface is a point, that is, the bow and arrow must be just on the point where the bow and arrow fall to be there a person before it can hit a person.

The crossbow is closer to a direct-aiming flat-firing weapon, which leaves a line on the ballistic surface, even if there is no enemy on the point you are aiming directly at, or if the enemy runs away, as long as there is an enemy on the subsequent extension of the line, it will still be shot.

However, if the crossbow only fires its arrows at the enemy who is rushing at him, the chance of "hitting the enemy who is aimed at it but also hitting the enemy next to him" is much smaller.

Because the enemy's cavalry is not stupid, especially the light cavalry like Wuhuan charges, and the distance between the horses is several meters, and the array is relatively sparse.

However, this is only for the case where the angle of 90 degrees is exactly right.

Anyone who has studied trigonometry a little knows that once the angle between the flat fire and the skirmish line of the charging side is no longer 90°, but 60° and 30°...... Or even lower, then the distance between the individual soldiers, the projection on the vertical projection line of the flat-fire fire, will be much smaller than in frontal observation.

At this time, the probability of "not being able to shoot the enemy he is aiming at, but can accidentally injure his comrades" has increased exponentially.

The precision trigonometric slaughter began.

Rows of Wuhuan cavalry, rushing straight to the front of the chariot formation, brandishing spears and sabers, frantically slashing the chariot array and shield array, and trying to pass through the gaps in the chariot formation, directly trampling the crossbowmen behind the chariot formation, or penetrating the formation and slashing the chariot soldiers on the left and right from behind.

But just as they were about to break through, a crossbow on each chariot spat out cluster arrows. Bundles of arrows were fastened to the crossbow strings made of ox tendons with a supporting plate, twisted to the tightest, and instantly stimulated, and at once more than a dozen arrows were shot out in a handful.

There are almost no Wuhuan cavalry frontal arrows, but instead of the left side of the arrow, the right side of the arrow, from a distance like a hedgehog, spectacular.

Those who were lucky enough to escape the first two rounds of arrow rain really wanted to pass through the seemingly safe gap between the carts, only to find that the Han army's chariots were stretched out one by one with violently swinging tomahawks and maces.

This weapon kills the enemy by weight and inertia, and does not pay attention to the angle of the enemy's physical attack, and does not even force the side of the blade to face the enemy.

As long as there is enough strength, initial velocity, and inertia, the cavalry can be broken and broken.

In fact, the melee interception weapon that Guan Yu used for the Danyang soldiers today was not the most professional - when Liu Yu dealt with the cavalry of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty in later generations, the main melee weapon of the Moon Array was the "staff".

Many people will not understand: Isn't a rod just a stick? How powerful is this thing?

But in fact, most of the rods used in the formation were long clubs with four iron heads, and the weight and inertia were sufficient, so that they could reach far and not point the tip at the enemy like a spear.

The essence of the rod is the word "sweep", which deals with enemies who pass at high speed from the side, while spears deal with frontal enemies. As long as the enemy's speed is high enough and the impact force is strong enough, blunt weapons can also kill, and the armor-piercing effect is stronger than that of sharp weapons, and the enemy cavalry is self-braking by the momentum formed by their own charging speed.

Danyang soldiers' hammers and axes also rely on sweeping, and their power is stronger than Liu Yujun's staff, but the distance is too short to sweep away the enemy, and it is inevitable that there will be more flaws.

The power is more than enough, but the attack range is insufficient, and the white is slightly flawed.

"Kara-"

"Quack—"

There was a painful and muffled sound of sore teeth, and batches of war horses and knights flew out,

or the head hits the ground, and the cervical vertebrae burst,

Or open the scoop with a sharp axe, just like the P-figure painter's hand shook violently when he repaired their shapes, distorting into various post-modern exaggerated shapes.

The frantic cluster of crossbows next to it continued, and it never stopped. The problem that the effective killing range of cluster arrows is too short, when it is almost close to the face, it is no longer important, and it can be said that it completely promotes its strengths and avoids its weaknesses.

And because the firing ports are concentrated, there is no need to show too many weak fronts like ordinary crossbowmen - under normal circumstances, for the Han army to play such a melee fire density, it means that at least 20 crossbowmen should be lined up in front of a vehicle.

There are so many crossbowmen, which means that there are so many weak links that can be broken through by the charge, and they will be cut by the Wuhuan cavalry.

But now, the density of fire is still so large, but the front is not false at all, as long as the width of a firing port and a shield is exposed, so many arrows can be sprayed. The width of the remaining nineteen people is still a solid shield array, which makes it difficult for the cavalry of the Steep King who wants to find soft persimmons to pinch where to reason?

Said that a good formation with strong long-range firepower, melee combat will definitely be chopped vegetables? How unreasonable?

Wearing iron armor and holding a troll, this is the portrayal of Guan Yujun's current situation.

Clusters of cavalry fell like wheat, and the king was completely dumbfounded.

"Withdraw! Hurry up! "As soon as the king of Nanqiao gave an order, he didn't care about those who were trapped in the chariot formation, so he ordered to withdraw as much as he could.

The broken Wuhuan cavalry was instantly wiped out and slaughtered at a faster speed.

Guan Yu saw that there were few dense enemy cavalry in front of the two armies, and finally ordered all the crossbows to abandon the cluster arrows and replace them with long-pole wooden feather arrows.

The arrows were almost the size of a short spear eight feet long, and the balanced tail feathers were not made of feathers, but of wood chips. The range of the crossbow is so impressive that it can even pierce two or three enemies.

The giant arrows of hundreds of wooden feathers and iron clusters sent off the Nanqiao King in several waves in a row, although they could not shoot more than 100 people, but they shot the formation of the Wuhuan people more scattered, so that the Wuhuan people did not dare to retreat in dense groups when retreating, so as not to be killed and injured by the crossbow arrows with huge penetrating force at one time.

After a few waves, the king of Nanqiao was frightened, and finally discovered the last move of the Han army - Zhao Yun, who had always been ambushed in the upper reaches and could not advance, saw that the Wuhuan people were defeated and scattered, and finally took a thousand elite heavy cavalry of the Han army to launch a backstab charge and harvest the heads of the defeated army.

"The left army and the right army quickly rush forward to intercept Zhao Yun! Don't panic, our number is still several times more than Zhao Yun! Can't mess around! The King of Difficulty roared hoarsely, restraining the defeated army to regroup.

As for the back, there is no need to worry about it, Zhao Yun has been entangled in this time, and the King of Difficulty has already withdrawn from Guan Yu's Moon Array at least a mile or two away.

Therefore, even if Guan Yu used the crossbow and the wooden feather arrow, it would be impossible to shoot so far, and the crossbow was weak in mobility, so it was impossible to keep up with the pursuit.

The danger at the moment is Zhao Yun who is blocking the way to escape in front of him!

The king of Nanqiao forcibly drove all the cavalry that could be regrouped into a regiment to Zhao Yun's side with military orders, trying to block them. And he himself didn't dare to run away too quickly, for fear of being targeted by Zhao Yun.

The bloody strangulation continued, the defeated soldiers of the King of Nanqiao were obviously not the opponents of Zhao Yunbu's elite new force, Zhao Yunbu at least everyone wore relatively cheap armor, and they were the best treated batch in Liu Bei's army, and the inferior sabers of the Wuhuan people were difficult to kill and injure Zhao Yun's people in dragging, so they could only rely on riding guns and impact force.

"Don't be surprised, my lord! We can withstand Zhao Yun! It was at this moment that Yan Rou, who had fled two miles away, had the opportunity to speak.

However, they had barely been able to catch their breath when they felt something was wrong.

The sound of horses' hooves behind him became more and more chaotic, and in the chaos there was an unusual intensity.

The chaotic cavalry should be more and more scattered and sparse.

The king turned his head in surprise, and carefully scanned and searched for a few seconds, only to notice that there was a small group of cavalry, rolling towards his royal banner, and the piles of Wuhuan soldiers next to him were mixed, like rolling soup and fertile snow, scattered and dissolved.

"This ...... This small group of cavalry is Han Chinese? Chasing us all the time? Why didn't you find out just now! Are everyone else running for their lives? Less than a hundred paces away from them, and they don't know if it's an enemy army? ”

All this can only be said to be dark under the lights, and all the orders received by the Wuhuan cavalry are to scatter and flee in formation, as long as the enemy soldiers do not approach the distance of dozens of steps behind, they will not pay attention and turn around to prepare for close combat.

No one expected that in Guan Yu's array, there were actually dozens of people who dared to chase after the defeated army of thousands of people!

In addition, Zhao Yun intercepted the rebels with a cross knife towards the waist and attracted the attention of the vast majority. So much so that Guan Yu was only discovered when he chased him dozens of steps away from the King of Difficult Cliffs.

Although the King of Nanqiao has seven or eight thousand remnants of soldiers under control, at this moment, within a radius of fifty steps, he can only mobilize more than a hundred horses, and the numerical advantage of Guan Yu's personal cavalry is only a few times the difference.

"Quick! Leave the front alone! Go behind me to block Guan Yu! ”

The king of Nanqiao himself drew out his fine saber made of iron, and while shouting orders, he was ready to fight in person.

"Puff puff puff-" There were several muffled sounds, and the three or four soldiers who rode the King of the Cliff were killed by the Qinglong Knife in seconds, and the corpse rolled into the dust in two sections.

The King of Nanqiao hurriedly erected his saber and bowed his head, trying to dodge Guan Yu's sweeping and decapitation when the wrong horse intersected.

"Uhh......h

But the arm he was holding the saber to block had already been unloaded by the Qinglong knife at the elbow, and the five fingers of the broken arm were spasmodic, still twitching and pinching the handle of the saber.

This struggle is only a delay of a few seconds of death.

With the second oblique slash coming, the King of Difficulty, who had no power to resist, was directly beheaded.

"It is worthy of being the leader of Wuhuan in Shanggu, and it can only be beheaded with two knives." Guan Yu picked up the head that landed with the tip of the knife and grabbed the bun.
