"Whoosh-"

"Puff puff—"

There was a sound of sharp arrows piercing, followed by the sound of sharp arrows piercing into the flesh.

Pity those brave warriors, most of them are not wearing armor, and most of them are only wearing a few layers of linen clothing, where can they block the sharp and fierce crossbow arrows?

It seems that as long as the crossbowmen of the Xinwei Army on the opposite side pull the trigger of the crossbow in their hands and shoot the crossbow arrows, there will be a corresponding number of heroic arrows immediately, and if they are lucky enough to be hit by the crossbow arrows, they will not endanger their lives; If you are unlucky, you may be shot directly out of your chest, abdomen, neck, or even face, and you can only wail and wait for death.

In all fairness, the heroes are no strangers to the crossbow arrow, as the "most despicable weapon", the crossbow machine has many advantages such as simple operation and strong power at medium range, although the range may not be as far as the powerful bow in the hands of some fierce men, but it has the ability to hunt warriors - as long as this weapon is used, even a weak soldier has a great chance to kill a brave soldier.

But on the other hand, the crossbow machine also has its weaknesses, for example, it needs frequent maintenance on weekdays, and it is prone to failure, and most importantly, it cannot be fired in a short period of time.

A well-trained archer can shoot an arrow in one breath, and ten breaths, that is, ten breaths, can burst out with amazing lethality, although after this outburst, even the most powerful archer needs to take a breath and regain his strength.

But the crossbow does not have the explosive ability of a bow and arrow, because it takes more than a dozen breaths for a slow soldier to load a crossbow bolt.

This is very deadly on the battlefield, because a dozen breaths of time is enough for the enemy's soldiers to sprint forward for a distance of dozens of kilometers, and if the oncoming object is the enemy convoy, then the crossbowmen may only have one chance to fire a salvo, and then they will face the slaughter of the enemy convoy.

This is the crossbow's biggest weakness on the battlefield.

Because of this, when the crossbowmen appeared in the front team of the Xinwei Army, those chivalrous warriors like Mu Xiao were not afraid, because they thought that they had a chance to win - as long as they could rush into the formation of the Xinwei Army, the crossbowmen on the opposite side would lose their threat, and when the time came for the two sides to start a melee, where would those ordinary soldiers be the opponents of these swordsmen who knew how to master swordsmanship?

However, the Xinwei soldiers launched two salvos of crossbow arrows within ten breaths, which directly stunned the heroes.

Isn't it possible to fire crossbows in a short period of time?

Why can the crossbows of the Xinwei Army be fired in a short period of time?

Or even, it's just endless?

"Could it be that Zhao Guo has developed a crossbow that can fire continuously?"

For the first time, the brave man was a little flustered, but he still loudly encouraged the brave people around him, encouraging them to rush towards the enemy.

However, the crossbow in the hands of the opposite Xinwei army seemed to really have the ability to fire continuously, and launched a third salvo in a very short time, so that dozens of heroes were immediately hit by arrows.

Are you kidding?!

Before they could touch the other side, there were already more than 100 casualties on their side.

"It's not fair!"

At the same time, on the side of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao who were watching this gambling battle, Tian Wen's guest secretary Feng Tan also saw this unbelievable scene and shouted loudly: "Master Zhao, the Xinwei army of your country Meng Sima is equipped with a crossbow machine that can fire continuously, and now it is using the power of this crossbow machine to slaughter chivalry, this is not a fair competition at all!" ”

“……”

Master Zhao didn't pay attention to Feng Chen, he just stared into the distance with a moving expression.

Not only him, but also Zhao Cheng of Anpingjun, Li Dui of Fengyangjun, Zhao Bao of Yangwenjun, including Gongzizhang and his subordinates, and even Que Guanzi, Pang Xuan, and Pang Xuan's deputy general Ji Xin, most of the courtiers of Zhao State present stared intently at the Xinwei army in the distance, and their faces showed surprise and confusion.

Because they all know that the Xinwei Army has no crossbow machine that can fire in bursts at all - a crossbow machine that can fire in bursts, this kind of weapon that only exists in the imagination, and even South Korea, which is the best at building crossbows, has not yet developed it, let alone Zhao Guo?

Those crossbow machines are just military-made mass-produced crossbow machines commonly used by Zhao State.

"An Ping-kun? Fengyang-kun?'

It was obviously such an unfair scene, but Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui and others did not speak for themselves, and Wei Chu, Feng Tan and other Tian Wen's Keqing already faintly felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, they didn't have time to think about it.

Following Feng Chen, Wei Chu also asked Zhao Xiang Feiyi with a distressed expression: "Fat Xiang, Meng Sima's Xinwei army used your country's repeating crossbow to slaughter Xue Gong's chivalrous bravery, did you stand idly by?" With all due respect, this is not a fair gamble at all, even if Meng Sima wins this gamble, he will definitely be scolded by the world! ”

Seeing that Feng Chen, Wei and other Tian Wen's guests were flushed with anger one by one, Zhao Xiangfeiyi shook his head and said to Wei Zhi: "Sir, the truth is not as you think, the Xinwei Army has no crossbows that can be fired continuously......"

"What?" Wei was taken aback, and after reacting, he subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible! The Faith Guard Army is clearly ......"

The pressure hand signaled Wei to be calm and not impatient, and Fei Yi Zhengse explained: "The old man doesn't know exactly how the Xinwei Army did it, but I, Zhao Guo, really don't have the kind of crossbow that can be fired in bursts as Mr. said...... If the gentleman can't trust the old man, after this matter is over, he can find the letter guard to check, and the truth will be clear at a glance. ”

“……”

Seeing that Fei Yi said so sincerely and firmly, Wei Chu and Feng Tan looked at each other.

Could it really be that as Fei Yi said, the Xinwei Army didn't have any crossbows that could be fired continuously?

But if this is the case, then how did the Xinwei Army manage to launch several salvos in a short period of time?

When Wei asked this question, Fei Yi said with a smile: "This is also the old man's question. ”

At the same time, Qu Guanzi was also asking, or testing his disciple Pang Xuan's eyesight: "Apprentice, do you see the clues?" ”

Pang Xuan nodded.

I have to think that in the crowd of onlookers, I am afraid that there will not be a few people like him, who are attentively watching the actions of the Xinwei Army from beginning to end, and it is no wonder, after all, since Meng Zhong made the feat of "attacking tens of thousands of Qi military camps with 500 soldiers at night", Pang Xuan regarded this confidant, who was a few years younger than himself, as a fierce opponent who was jointly moving towards the "art of war".

Therefore, he saw very clearly: there were about two hundred crossbowmen armed with crossbows in the Xinwei army, and these people were divided into two groups, the crossbowmen in the front team knocked on the ground on one knee and crouched on the ground, and the crossbowmen in the back team stood upright.

Such a formation can allow the two teams in front and behind to have a full two hundred crossbowmen to fire a salvo at the same time.

However, the Faith Guard did not do that, and each time they fired a salvo, only half of the two hundred crossbowmen fired: after the crossbowmen of the front team fired, they quickly loaded their crossbows, and in this gap, the crossbowmen of the rear team fired a volley; After the rear crossbowmen have finished firing their volleys, the front crossbowmen have basically finished loading their crossbows.

In this way, the cycle was repeated, and everyone mistakenly believed that the Xinwei army had crossbows that could be fired continuously.

But in fact, this is just the mastery of the art of war and tactics.

"What a terrible tactic......"

Pang Xuan's lieutenant general, Ju Xin, also saw the clue, smacked his lips and couldn't help but say: "The crossbowmen of the Xinwei Army are still too few, if it is increased tenfold to two thousand people, even if the enemy army has five thousand soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the merciless shooting, right?" …… Crane Guanzi, Brother Pang Xuan, have you ever heard of similar tactics? ”

Crane Guanzi shook his head, squinted his eyes at the Xinwei army in the distance, and said with some praise: "Probably the battle method that Meng Zhong's kid came up with by himself...... Although this kid is a disciple of Master Zhuang, he is still a little impetuous, as if this terrifying tactic is actually used in a gambling fight with Tian Wen's disciples...... It's a pity. ”

In his opinion, Meng Zhong's set of tactics can be kept as a killing move on the battlefield, and it is only used for a battle of 500 people.

"Still young......"

After shaking his head, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If it is an old man, I am afraid that he will hide to the death, when he is hiding enough to be worthy of this set of tactics...... But young people, they just want this kind of sharpness! ”

Pang Xuan nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the heroes in the field in the distance had already rushed to a position only about 20 zhang away from the Xinwei Army.

Because just like what Pang Xuan said in his conversation with Ji Xin, among the five hundred Xinwei soldiers, only two hundred people acted as crossbowmen, and in order to continue to attack those heroes from a distance, the Xinwei army only had a hundred crossbowmen to shoot each time, which means that the lethality of the crossbowmen was not enough to block all the heroes - if the crossbowmen of the Xinwei army doubled again, it would be difficult for the Xinwei army to slaughter the five hundred heroes on the opposite side just by firing a salvo with crossbows.

『…… Isn't it too robust?'

At this time, in the front line of the Xinwei Army, Zuo Sima Leyi stood on a chariot and frowned slightly.

The Xinwei Army is based on the Zhao Wushu of Wei, in fact, every soldier has the combat ability of Changge and crossbow machine at the same time, so even if the number of crossbowmen is increased to 400, this is completely possible.

However, because Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others did not understand the strength of those chivalrous warriors on the other side, they did not dare to support them, so they decided to use the establishment of two hundred Changge, two hundred crossbowmen, and one hundred chariot soldiers to deal with the battle, so as to prevent those chivalrous warriors from seizing the opportunity to slaughter the Xinwei soldiers in turn after the crossbowmen's tactics failed.

After all, Meng Zhong's set of tactics, which he named the "two-stage shooting" tactics, was only the first time that the Xinwei Army tried to use it, and the soldiers had no actual combat experience in it, so Le Yi decided to fight more steadily.

However, judging from the current situation, I have to say that they are a little too cautious, and those chivalrous warriors on the opposite side are really brave and unscrupulous, they only know how to rush up, and there is no tactic at all.

"Well, let's just train in actual combat."

Thinking of this, Le Yi stood on the military vehicle and raised his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Change the formation!" …… Crane Wing Array! ”

Hearing Le Yi's order, the two rows of crossbowmen in front quickly retreated, while the two rows of soldiers who were originally in the back with Changge in their hands quickly interspersed in front of the formation, raising Changge in their hands in a neat and orderly manner.

The formation that the Xinwei Army quickly completed in just a dozen blinks of an eye made the Zhao monarchs and ministers on the side of Lord Zhao and Zhao Wang He couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

You must know that the most taboo on the battlefield is to change the formation in battle, because once the minds of some soldiers are affected by the atmosphere of battlefield fighting, delaying the formation change of the entire army, this will lead to loopholes in the formation, and even the chaos of your own soldiers, which will directly affect the entire battle situation.

Therefore, the more experienced the generals, the more they dare not change their formations in the face of battle - if their own formation is barely enough, then continue to fight, if the formation is loose, then temporarily retreat, and come back tomorrow.

As for changing formations in battle, changing formations to suit the battlefield, only those generals who have full confidence in themselves and the soldiers under their command dare to do so.

But it has to be said that in many cases, changing formations in battle is an act of seeking death, especially on a large-scale legion battlefield where both sides have tens of thousands of troops.

"Changing Formations...... You're so confident!'

After seeing the Xinwei army change formation, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Guo had different expressions.

In fact, whether an army is elite or not does not only refer to how lethal it is, but also includes the factors of "obeying orders" and "carrying out orders".

And in this regard, the actions of the Faith Guard are really swift and skillful.

It seems that none of the soldiers were influenced by those fierce and vicious chivalrous bravery, and all of them honestly acted according to the orders of the generals - such an army could already be called elite.

"It seems that Tian Wen's chivalrous bravery with his teeth and claws can't affect those Xinwei soldiers...... Also, the Xinwei Army is not a new pawn, these people have all experienced the battle of 500 people and tens of thousands of people at night, how can they be frightened by the same number of chivalrous side? You've really trained a reliable army......

Looking at the Xinwei Army on the field from a distance, Master Zhao nodded secretly, with a look of approval in his eyes.

In fact, Pang Xuan and Ji Xin, as well as the "Tan Guard" under their command, are also very good, and Master Zhao's father has also inspected the 5,000-strong Tan Guard.

But in comparison, Master Zhao still thinks that Meng Zhong and Le Yi are better.

Whether it is in the training of troops, or in the application of the art of war and the art of war.

No, after the Xinwei Army completed the change of formation, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State who were watching from the sidelines, anyone could see that those chivalrous warriors had completely fallen into the disadvantage: the front formation of the Xinwei Army had changed from crossbowmen to Changge soldiers, and the two hundred crossbowmen quickly rounded back to the two wings, like the wings of a crane, and raised the crossbow in their hands again towards the chivalrous warriors in the field.

"Rush over! Rush over! ”

In front of the formation of the Xinwei Army, the chivalrous Mou Xiao shouted exhaustedly, inspiring his own heroes to tear apart the formation of the Xinwei Army.

But unfortunately, the heroes were unable to break through the dense Changge of the Xinwei Army.

It's no wonder, after all, the sharp sword in their hands is only three feet long at best, and the Changge in the hands of the Xinwei soldiers on the opposite side is taller than a person, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, when two hundred Xinwei soldiers raise Chang Ge flat, this seems to form a moat, and any chivalrous courage who dares to step into this distance will be stabbed to death by these Chang Ge Chaoge.

"Bell!"

"Bell, bell!"

The heroes swung the swords in their hands vigorously, eager to chop those Changge to pieces.

Even some heroes bravely broke the jar and fell, and simply threw the sword in their hand at the Xinwei soldier on the opposite side.

But unfortunately, the Xinwei soldiers are wearing three layers of thick armor one by one, as long as they protect the faces that are difficult to protect by their helmets, the Xinwei soldiers can completely ignore the warriors throwing swords.

"It seems that the soldiers' faces are still quite weak in their defenses...... I don't know if there is any way to make up for it, well, go back and discuss with Ah Chung, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yu......

On the chariot, Le Yi thought to himself.

It's not that Le Yi, as the commander of the front, actually dares to wander at such a time, in the final analysis, it's just because the chivalrous warrior on the opposite side is not a threat at all, so he has a little nothing to do.

It's no wonder, after all, with his talent, commanding a battle of five hundred people is really overkill, not to mention that the Xinwei army he commands is still not inferior to Wei Wushu.

Therefore, in most cases, Le Yi pays more attention to himself, after all, in his eyes, this battle is not just an actual combat training.

"Hua Hu and Mu Wu, their actions are a little slow...... I didn't shoot from both sides at the first moment when these heroes bravely attacked our formation, sharing the pressure of the former army Wuying and Lejin, well, I have to talk to them when I go back......

Just as Le Yi was muttering to himself, the two hundred crossbowmen led by Hua Hu and Mu Wu finally reached the two wings, and after quickly forming a formation, they launched a salvo at the heroes who were in the middle of each other, so as to share the pressure of the two hundred Xinwei army commanders in the middle.

In this case, the Xia Yong army was even more passive: they wanted to rush forward and break through, but the two hundred Xinwei army commanders led by Wu Ying and Le Jin defended their positions to the death, not allowing them to take a step forward; What's even worse is that Hua Hu and Mu Wu are still shooting with crossbow arrows on both wings, which is completely a three-sided attack.

"Whoosh-"

"Puff puff—"

In the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the heroes suffered heavy casualties, but these reckless men who were not weak in fighting alone, many of them could not cause substantial damage to the Xinwei soldiers from beginning to end, so they were ruthlessly killed, or died in the hands of those Changgemen, or died in the hands of crossbowmen.

"Mu Xiao, Mu Xiao!"

In the chaotic and unfavorable situation, a chivalrous man grabbed Mu Xiao's arm and shouted, "The casualties of the brothers are too great...... At least 200 brothers were killed by those damned ones. ”

"More than 200 people?"

Mu Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, and glanced around, and sure enough, he found that he had five hundred chivalrous warriors, and a small half of them had fallen at this moment.

This made his heart shrink, and he unconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

To be sure, death is not a matter of fear for these outlaws, and many of them are more concerned about fame and righteousness than life.

But the problem is that they have killed and wounded more than 200 people, but the bitch-raised Xinwei on the opposite side has not had a single real casualty so far - although a few Xinwei soldiers were thrown by the heroes or pierced their cheeks, or cut their faces and necks, but these people quickly retreated, and their robes took over, not any fatal injuries at all, as long as they bandaged and stopped bleeding in time, this injury was not serious.

It took more than 200 casualties for the other side to get the other party's insignificant injuries, which made Mu Xiao and the heroes present feel extremely annoyed and guilty.

"Mu Xiao, I can't go on like this." The man said anxiously: "If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die all here!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Mu Xiao was furious, grabbed the placket of the other party's clothes, and reprimanded angrily: "Wei Bu! What do you mean by that? Are you afraid of death? This is how you repay Xue Gong for his kindness to you?! ”

The chivalrous man named Wei Bu shook off Mu Xiao's hand, and said angrily: "How can I, Wei Bu, be greedy for life and afraid of death? I just don't want these brothers to die like this! …… You also saw that the letter guards raised by those bitches, they are not ordinary Zhao pawns at all! I rushed with my brothers six or seven times, but I couldn't rush past those bastard Changge, but more than a dozen brothers died...... If you can't break through, why stare here? ”

“……”

Mu Xiao's heart moved slightly when she heard this, and said, "What do you mean......"

I saw Wei Bu raise his hand and point at the crossbowmen of the Xinwei Army on both wings, and said in a hateful voice: "Kill these people first!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately greeted half of Wei Bu's chivalrous bravery, and killed the two wings of the Xinwei army.

Seeing this scene, Le Yi's face remained unchanged at all.

"Attacking the crossbowmen with weak defenses, these reckless men finally thought of it...... Now it's finally time to test the tactics of the 'Infantry Battle'......

Thinking of this, Le Yi set his eyes on the two wings of the battlefield, only to see that on the two wings, there were twenty chariots deployed, all of which were the trophies captured by the Xinwei Army when they attacked the Qi camp at night.

At the same time, on the south side of the battlefield, Meng Hu stood on top of the chariot, and saw the heroes in the distance divided into two, half of them rushing towards this side, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

"Hahaha, it's finally time for us to play! …… Little cubs, keep up with us Menghu and kill! He raised the sword in his hand and shouted.

"Who's your little cub?"

The soldiers under Menghu's command laughed and scolded in a low voice.

I have to say that among the group of guards in the Xinwei Army, Menghu is the most unscrupulous and heartless, so that many Xinwei soldiers like this captain who is only their younger brother level.

"Follow the Commander of the Guard, kill!"

With a loud shout, the twenty chariots of the Menghu side immediately rushed towards the oncoming heroes.

On the other side, on the north side of the battlefield, Meng Sui also raised his sword at the same time and shouted in a deep voice: "Combat convoy! Charge! ”

"Oh-"

The chariot convoys on both sides were put into the battlefield one after another.

I have to say that the power of the chariot is really incomparable, when Meng Hu and Meng Sui ordered the chariots under their command to line up in a line and charge towards the opposite side, the oncoming rangers were all hit by them and vomited blood, and even, mercilessly, they were run over by the wheels, holding the broken leg and wailing and screaming.

"Call you arrogant! Call you arrogant! ”

I saw that on the chariot, Meng Hu held the railing of the chariot with one hand, and held the sword with the other, swinging at the oncoming heroes.

With the power of the chariot sprinting, the sword he swung, even if it was resisted by those brave warriors, shook the opponent's tiger mouth numb, and even cracked the tiger's mouth, and his hands were covered with blood.

But it must be admitted that these chivalrous warriors are indeed superb in swordsmanship, unless they are hit by a chariot and cannot avoid accidents, and the soldiers of the Xinwei on the chariot are difficult to hurt them.

However, in this regard, the soldiers of the Xinwei Army did not care, they only needed to repeat the action of stabbing Changge in their hands repeatedly, with the advantage of long weapons, although it was difficult for them to hurt those heroes, but it was also difficult for those heroes to hurt them.

"Those heroic formations were completely torn apart by the chariots......"

Looking at the situation in the field, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao shook their heads slightly.

Hearing this, his lieutenant Zhao Ben said contemptuously: "Those guys, there is no formation to speak of. ”

And at this moment, there was a change in the field again, and I saw Hua Hu and Mu Wu raising the sharp swords in their hands and shouting: "Abandon the crossbow and hold the sword!" ”

As soon as the words fell, one hundred soldiers of the Xinwei under the command of the two of them threw away the crossbows in their hands to the ground and drew their swords at their waists.

『…… It's going to be a general attack!'

The crane looked stunned.

Sure enough, Le Yi immediately ordered a general attack of the whole army, so that Wu Ying and Le Jin each led a hundred soldiers, and those chivalrous braves at the tail, creating a dominant situation of flanking the front and rear.

"Kill ——!"

The five hundred Xinwei soldiers suddenly burst out with a deterrent force far beyond their number at this time.

"The big picture has been decided!"

Secretly chuckled, and Master Zhao's eyes flashed with a thick look of satisfaction.

If it weren't for Feng Chen, Wei and other Tian Wen's guest Qing still beside him, and their faces were ugly, perhaps Master Zhao couldn't help but slap his hands and admire.
