Chapter 95: The murderous aura of the Ghost Coin Knights

Moreover, this is also because when encountering a cavalry impact, it is good to be able to shoot three arrows.

The crossbow is also usually not prepared for a fierce battle, there are many machines on the crossbow that are closed, and it takes a little time to open them all and pull the strings again.

After that, Wei Shuang was a little suspicious in his heart, but he only walked for a while, and he felt that he was fine.

So, more than two hours later, except for the members of the Jade Flute Brigade, who were still quite nervous, the rest of the soldiers of the death battalion walked unhurriedly on the road leading to Bocheng, and the formation was even more open.

Zhang Jingtao also deliberately distanced himself from the forward team.

It's just an excuse that the wheels of a big car are not good.

It wasn't until they were walking up a small hill that the rangers of the Vanguard team fell off their horses with a scream as they ran up a hill to the east, and the joy of the outing was completely shocked.

Because it was on this open hillside that a knight wearing a mask appeared in full leather armor, and behind him, two hundred cavalry slowly marched.

This kind of full-covered leather armor is actually a heavy cavalry, as for those full-covered steel armor, it is not impossible to do it, and the cavalry also has the conditions to carry heavy loads, but no one uses it like this.

What the reason is, Zhang Jingtao is not too clear at the moment.

But at least, in the Warring States, even if you play knight duels in the city, you won't wear full duplex steel armor.

Because if it is worn, it will be like a turtle, it will be ridiculed to death, and there will be no need to duel, although the effect of good leather armor is actually similar, but wearing leather armor will not look timid.

Undoubtedly, this is the bandits.

It's just that these bandits are still holding a battle flag, on which there is a big shell coin composed of yin qi, and this shell coin also has a woman's face on it, which is a big ghost coin.

Therefore, of course, the bandits themselves do not recognize the bandits, indeed, which prince was not a bandit when he started?

This is the Ghost Coin Knights that have been rumored about lately.

Even the faces of these knights wore hideous masks in the shape of ghost coins.

Only the eyes, mouth and nose have openings, and a little chin under the mask can be seen.

And this hillside is less than 1 kilometer away from the death camp, and the cavalry of the Ghost Coin Knights only needs about 100 seconds to rush in front of them.

This is also due to the fact that in the wilderness, horses carrying heavily armed knights and wearing leather waistcoats will sprint much slower, otherwise they will be faster.

Everyone gasped.

Because this cavalry, which was very useless in Wei Shuang's mouth, looked very elite at a glance.

The queue was so tight that there was no sound of neighing.

Of course, no one knew if this Ghost Coin Knights was the same cavalry that the Death Battalion had seen when they came to Wu'an.

At this moment, the leading knight of the Ghost Coin Knights smirked, licked his lips with his tongue, and slowly raised Sen Han's riding spear.

The cavalry behind was divided into three teams, one hundred horsemen in the first squad of ghost coins, fifty horsemen in the second team of ghost coins, and fifty horsemen in the third team of ghost coins.

And this nominal method for the enemy army is for the death battalion, and it is also the default nominal method in the army.

Because on the battlefield, in order to call the enemy and facilitate one's own command and response to the enemy, it is necessary to label the enemy, so oneself will use the clockwise pattern of heaven to name the enemy, and the enemy will become in reverse order, which also carries the implication that I am the right and the enemy is the evil and the rebellious.

With a sonorous sound, a squad of 100 horsemen of the ghost coin pounced on the forward brigade of the death battalion;

Fifty horsemen of the second brigade of ghost coins pounced on the carriage of the jade flute brigade;

The three teams of ghost coins and fifty horsemen pounced on the follow-up troops of the death battalion commanded by Wang Ning.

This is to break the death battalion into two sections, and prevent the Yuxiao brigade from forming a car formation, and easily eat Wei Shuang's forward brigade with the advantage of local forces.

Under the sun, the cold light of the enemy's spear shone, but a murderous aura rose to the sky.

The pair of fierce eyes under the mask of the ghost coin were all staring at the soldiers of the death camp, only two hundred people, but their killing aura was better than thousands of troops!

Whoever thinks this is an army of rabble, then his brain is in water.

Wei Shuang and the others looked at each other in shock.

The horses in front of the carriage were all stirred with murderous spirit, and they all stepped on their hooves in peace.

"Gather to the vehicle and get ready for a crossbow shot!" Wei Shuang shouted, although this death battalion is also elite, but compared with these cavalry who are in battle formations on weekdays, it immediately shows a gap.

When Xiao Meiniang was directing the convoy to meet the enemy, she glanced at Zhang Jingtao and found that the other party was terribly pale.

But Xiao Meiniang was not at a loss, and immediately gave an order: "Cloth car array!" Prepare for battle with double bows! Get ready for a long shot! ”

Double bow refers to the longbow and crossbow two types of bows, long-range shot, which refers to the longest-distance shot, which refers to the projectile at an angle of 45 degrees to the front.

shouted again: "Zhang Zheng gave orders on my behalf!" ”

Let the queen say to Zhang Jingtao: "Give the order, let me see your actual combat skills." ”

Zhang Jingtao clenched his fists: "Obey." ”

In thirty seconds, the carriage was pulled into a half circle, the formation of the carriage was half-knotted, and the horses had placed the baffles before, at least they could meet the enemy.

The members of the Jade Flute team all hid behind the carriage, except for the soldiers who continued to complete the formation with the rest of the second car, the rest all pulled the strings of the short crossbow, set up the crossbow arrows, and put them beside them.

Then they all drew their bamboo bows and set up their long arrows.

That's where training comes in, and when it comes to the critical moment, there's no need to say much about it.

Just like the wind and the angle of frontal shooting, that is what everyone judges for themselves, these Zhang Jingtao taught during training.

The bamboo-tired longbow equipped by the death battalion is longer than the shortest longbow, 90 meters deadly, and the actual flat fire can be less than 128 meters, for this reason, this bow can shoot up to 180 meters.

Zhang Jingtao stretched out his arm, judged the distance of the opponent with his fingers, and when the enemy was close to 240 meters, he shouted: "Shoot!" ”

After a slight delay of half a second, dozens of arrows whizzed and flew 180 meters away.

This judgment was very accurate, and the enemy cavalry rushed right into the rain of arrows.

However, these enemy horsemen also wore steel helmets and leather shoulder armor, which was still good for throwing arrows, and because the cavalry could carry more loads, they used special arm shields.

However, even if the enemy horse is covered with a layer of leather armor, it does not have such good protection.

There were six horses with arrows in the legs.

After the rain of arrows, six cavalrymen of the second brigade of the enemy cavalry fell off their horses, although these six people may not all break their bones, as long as they can be relieved, they have a certain combat effectiveness, but at least for the time being, these six people are unable to participate in the battle.

Moreover, this is usually not so easy to relieve, this kind of fall is often very serious, and it is good to be able to save your life.

"Sharpshoot!" Zhang Jingtao ordered again.

However, he did not use the long-distance 'blunt shot' order, because the blunt shot was fired at a 60-degree angle, although it could shoot to about 165 meters, but the speed of the enemy's ride was too fast.
