Chapter 1934: The Power of the Crossbow (Page 1/1)
"Ready!" Chen Zhi ordered in a deep voice, this is the strong crossbow army after training, the sword battlefield, their fame, what they need is the blood of the enemy.
Five thousand strong crossbow soldiers marched towards Fuguan with neat steps, and the sound of heavy footsteps gave people a sense of oppression.
Without such sharp weapons as thunderbolts and bed crossbows, their attack range returned to normal, and even with the advantage of terrain, they could only increase the range of their bows and arrows by ten paces at most.
When it was only one hundred and fifty steps away from Fuguan, the five thousand strong crossbow soldiers suddenly became busy, and among the tens of thousands of strong crossbow soldiers, there were two thousand strong crossbow soldiers with a range of one hundred and fifty steps, and they needed two thousand soldiers to assist from the side.
Among the 5,000 people, except for the 1,000 soldiers who use strong crossbows, the rest of the soldiers are all used to fight the enemy, relying on the crossbows in their hands to inflict damage on the enemy, and the crossbows in their hands can reach 120 paces in range, and they are also extremely powerful on the battlefield.
With Chen Zhi's order, the five thousand strong crossbow soldiers suddenly began to be nervously busy, and after the two thousand soldiers were ready, they aimed the strong crossbows in their hands at the direction of the closed door, as long as the enemy appeared at such a time, they could make it difficult for the enemy to get out of the pass just by relying on the strong crossbows in their hands.
"Lord, is the enemy going to rely on bows and arrows to attack the city?" Jian Yong wondered, at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, it was very difficult to pose a threat to the defenders on the pass, anyway, Jian Yong had never seen a bow and arrow at such a distance before, of course, if it was a bed crossbow, it would be another matter.
Looking at the army outside the city, Liu Bei's mood was a little heavy, if the enemy's crossbow could really reach a range of one hundred and fifty steps, what a terrifying effect would it bring if the two armies fought on the plain, and any enemy army would be overshadowed after encountering such a team.
"A strong crossbow?" Looking at the movements of the enemy army outside the pass, Liu Bei was puzzled, but he saw two soldiers helping the crossbow to be wound.
"Command the army, be careful to defend!" Liu Bei hurriedly said.
After the two thousand strong crossbows were wound, Chen Zhi gave an order, and two thousand crossbow arrows poured towards the pass, and for a while, the sky above the entire Fuguan was covered with black traces.
Different from the usual straight shooting wounds, when using crossbow arrows to attack the city, Chen Zhi ordered the soldiers to shoot the crossbow arrows diagonally upward, and Li used the force of the crossbow arrows to fall to cause damage to the enemy, which proved to be extremely terrible for the enemy army.
Seeing the enemy attacking the city, the defenders at the gate did not feel fear, and in their opinion, it was the thunderbolts, not the bolts, that caused the most damage to them.
However, the defenders miscalculated again, and some of the responsive shieldmen were able to avoid this catastrophe when they saw these black spots, but many more defenders were unlucky.
The crossbow arrows slanted from above caused the city to cry one after another, and the enemy once again terrified the defenders with their strong strength.
Liu Bei saw this situation, the corners of his eyes kept shaking, he found that the enemy army can always bring them surprises, and the appearance of such a strong crossbow, what a shock it will cause to the defenders, it is conceivable, and among the enemy, there are a lot of crossbowmen, even if the cavalry is sent to fight, it will have to pay a heavy price, after the cavalry breaks through the crossbowmen's defense line, although it can bring huge damage to the crossbowmen, but these crossbowmen are also restrained cavalry, when the cavalry charges, if they can't dodge the crossbowmen in the hands of the crossbowmen, Before he could get close to the enemy, he was already dead.
The strong crossbow army, just through a round of crossbow arrows, made the defenders on the pass pay a heavy price.
In the rear of the strong crossbow army, Lu Bu appeared in a higher place, observing the results of this battle, seeing the casualties in the city, Lu Bu smiled, according to the development of this situation, Fuguan will definitely be breached, and the thunderbolt and strong crossbow will gradually defeat the fighting spirit of the defenders.
The Thunderbolt brings a psychological shadow, while the Crossbow Army is the real kill, inflicting a steady stream of damage to the enemy through a dense range of crossbow arrows, which is not comparable to the Thunderbolt.
A cadre of generals beside Lu Bu also took out the fairy mirror to watch the battle situation on the Fu Pass, the effect achieved by the strong crossbow army on the battlefield made the generals in the army shake, although the enemy army was not prepared enough, a round of crossbow arrows made the defenders pay a heavy price, if they met such a strong crossbow army on the plain, what would be the situation.
"Lord, the crossbow army is so powerful, it will be within a few days to break through the Fu Pass." Guo Jia said with a smile.
Lu Bu nodded and said: "The strong crossbow army is one of the important hole cards of our army, and Liu Bei can taste the power of the strong crossbow army, which is also worth it." ”
The generals in the army laughed when they heard these words, if Liu Bei knew about it, they didn't know how they would feel, they could understand how miserable the Yizhou army was that was passively defending on Fuguan, they definitely didn't want such an honor, no one was stupid enough to bear the casualties.
After having a strong crossbow army, it also makes the generals in the army have greater confidence in breaking through the Fu Pass, the giant thunderbolt makes the Fu Pass dare not appear Thunderbolt car, and the strong crossbow army is to form a steady stream of damage to the enemy army on the pass, this offensive mode, even the strongest defenders will collapse.
Fu Guan, because of the wailing of the wounded soldiers, and the atmosphere became more solemn, Liu Bei's expression was even more solemn, he didn't expect the enemy's strong crossbow to be so powerful, under a round of crossbow arrows, he actually let his side lose more than 300 soldiers.
The crossbow army did not stop the pace of attack, after a round of crossbow arrows, they were once again nervously busy, wanting to cause the greatest damage to the enemy in the shortest possible time, which is a big test for the crossbow army, and now the enemy army does not know much about the combat methods of the crossbow army, if they are allowed to react from the attack of the crossbow, it is difficult to cause greater damage to the enemy.
The lethality of the crossbow is undoubted, even if they are a hundred and fifty paces away from the city wall, they can still hear the wailing of the defenders, the screams of the enemy, to the crossbow army, it is very wonderful, they want to make the enemy pay a heavy price through the crossbow.
Rounds of crossbow arrows poured towards Fuguan.
After ten rounds of crossbow arrows in a row, the crossbow army stopped attacking.
After the loss of the soldiers of Fuguan came, Liu Bei's face became even more gloomy, and the number of soldiers who died under the attack of crossbow arrows alone reached more than 2,000, and this was still when the defenders were on guard.
