Chapter 836 - Strengthened by a Tiger
I'm afraid that now the entire Sima army cavalry is a relatively relaxed mentality, with 5,000 cavalry against 3,000 infantry, no one has pressure at all, and even before the war, some people joked that this is a hunt, even more relaxed than the hunt, wild boars and hares at least have to run fast, what can these soldiers do, at most they are tied to death. 3≠ 8 3≠ 8 3≠ read 3 ≠ books, ↗o●
From the ambush of the Sima cavalry to the location to the target of the attack, it was only two or three miles away, and for the infantry, it may take a while, but for the cavalry, it is only a blink of an eye.
And the Sima cavalry sprint for such a short distance, there is no horsepower at all, it is completely galloping at the highest horse speed, many people are scrambling, which shows that the Bingzhou army came to send the head, because the Bingzhou army only has 3,000 people, and the Sima cavalry alone has 5,000 people, this head, obviously not enough!
Therefore, many Sima cavalry rushed to the front as much as possible, and this is the credit on the bright side, and it is a fool who is indisputable, who is one step ahead and has meat to eat, and one step behind is likely not to even be able to drink soup.
But just approaching the battle formation of the Bingzhou army, that is, the distance of a stone's throw, behind the flat box cars lined up, a dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out, pouring towards the galloping Sima cavalry.
When the cavalry attacked, the possibility of encountering the enemy's bow and arrow attack was extremely high, after all, the opposing infantry could not sit still, and they would also come up with the strongest means to counterattack.
But the cavalry attack was quite fast, and it took only a few breaths at most to rush from a stone's throw away in front of the infantry formation, that is, the enemy's archers would shoot one or two arrows at most, and there would be no chance. C Eight C Eight C Read C Book, ■o↑ And these arrows are hardly a mortal threat to the cavalry.
But the current situation is a bit unexpected by Sima Jun, the Bingzhou army is only 3,000 people at most, even if all of them are archers, they can only shoot 3,000 arrows at the same time, but now the rain of arrows pouring out, dense, innumerable, makes the cavalry of Sima Jun very wondering, isn't it that the Bingzhou army has given birth to three heads and six arms, how can they shoot so many arrows?
In fact, this is not any special means of the pioneer battalion, but the credit of the repeater, before leaving, Cao Liang specially allocated a thousand repeaters to Ma Long.
This made Ma Long, who was determined to equip all the infantry with gong nu, ecstatic, with the existence of such a battlefield killing weapon, why worry about the enemy's cavalry not being destroyed?
The real core of the flat box car formation founded by Ma Long is not the flat box car, but the gong nu soldiers, which is also when Ma Long recruits warriors, he repeatedly requires every soldier to be proficient in gong nu skills, and can draw a crossbow of thirty jun and a bow of four jun.
The flat box car can resist the attack of the enemy cavalry to a certain extent, but if the pioneer battalion does not have any countermeasures, then the flat box car is useless, and will be destroyed by the attacking enemy cavalry by various means.
Therefore, whether the flat box car formation can withstand the attack of the cavalry is not the key to whether the flat box car is strong, but whether the gong nu soldiers have a strong counterattack ability, as long as the enemy's cavalry cannot approach the flat box car is the biggest key.
Gong Nu soldiers are long-range combat units, and they can only play their role in medium and long-range combat, and once they fall into close combat, Gong Nu soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, in the normal infantry armament, the long-range attack class Gong Nu soldier and the short-range attack class Changqiang soldier and the short-range defense class sword and shield soldiers are basically one-to-one matching, only this balanced setting can allow the infantry to have both attack and defense capabilities, so that there will be no strong attack and weak defense or weak defense and weak attack.
But balance also means moderation, and having both offense and defense means that both offensive and defensive ends are limited to a certain extent.
Ma Long's flat box car formation is to maximize the long-range attack ability of the infantry, and he is almost all equipped with gong nu soldiers, so that the attack ability of the whole team has been significantly improved, because it is not equipped with long qiang soldiers and sword and shield soldiers, it is equivalent to the combat power of gong nu soldiers directly increased by two times.
This kind of attack power is especially terrifying on the battlefield, and 3,000 people can almost be used as 10,000 people.
As for the defense of the whole team, it was all handed over to the flat box car, and at this time the flat box car became very important, and it took on almost all the responsibilities of the long qiang soldiers and sword and shield soldiers in the ordinary infantry battle formation to block the attack of the enemy cavalry.
Because the flat box car is very strong, so from a defensive point of view, its defensive ability must be stronger than the long qiang soldiers and sword and shield soldiers combined, coupled with the extremely powerful gong nu firepower behind the flat box car, it is very difficult for the enemy cavalry to approach the flat box car formation.
Of course, if you want to say that the weakness is also very obvious, that is, the flat box car formation is too poor maneuverability, slow speed of action is its biggest drawback, can only do passive defense, can not carry out active attacks, if the enemy retreats, even if it is close at hand, the pioneer battalion is difficult to achieve.
So what Ma Long is looking forward to most is the enemy's attack, the sharper the enemy's attack, the more powerful his counterattack means, seeing the violent attack of Sima cavalry, Ma Long smiled happily.
Now that the pioneer battalion has a thousand repeating crossbows, it is simply like a tiger with wings, and this feeling of firing thousands of arrows at the same time is really not too cool!
Malone believed that as long as he had a repeater and a flat box cart, he could withstand any attack, and no amount of fierce cavalry could break through his barrier.
Such a repeater is simply tailor-made for him. Before this, Ma Long had only heard that Shu had a repeating crossbow, and it was made by the late Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, so this kind of repeater was also called Zhuge repeater.
It's a pity that this kind of weapon is only available in Shu in the world, not in Wei and Wu, and Ma Long can only be fascinated.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he joined the Bingzhou Army, Cao Liang actually took out this kind of weapon, and as soon as he shot it, it was a thousand, and he almost didn't surprise Ma Long's jaw.
Ma Long couldn't figure out how Cao Liang could get the weapon of Shu and produce it on a large scale, but having this kind of weapon made Ma Long feel very down-to-earth and comfortable, attack is always the best means of defense, the stronger the Gong Nu soldiers in the battle array, the stronger the defense ability of the battle array, after having the crossbow, the ordinary flat box car formation will directly incarnate into an upgraded version of the flat box car array, and on the battlefield, it can simply turn on the invincible mode. 11.
