Chapter 125: Saigo Strong Crossbow VS Yu Gang Rush Ride (II
"The scout's information is wrong! I didn't expect this group of Zhao dogs to be equipped with crossbows! It seems that we are underestimating them. Now if we want to completely defeat them, there is still a lot of difficulty. After the tentative battle, looking at the Yu Yu herdsman cavalry who were shot by the Xixiang soldiers, Yu He, who was watching the battle, said to his henchmen nearby. Although Yu He is greedy, he is also a rare experienced wise man among the Hu people. He naturally recognized the crossbow. He knows not only the range but also the power.
"But we're not completely out of the woods!" Looking at the Xixiang spear and shield army array, which was stirred up by more than ten herdsmen cavalry, Yu He continued meaningfully.
"What do you mean, sir?" Standing next to Yu He, Yu Hu, who was a little confused by Yu He's words, asked.
"General Zhao, who commands the crossbow array, has a good level, and the configuration of the crossbow and the arm crossbow is in place. However, the spear and shield phalanx they used to protect the crossbow array was supposed to be a group of recruits. The anti-cavalry defense is not in place at all, and in the face of cavalry, their combat power should be very limited. This is the weakness of this group of Zhao dogs, and it is also our breakthrough. Yu He, who had vicious eyes, saw the shortcomings of Suning's crossbow array at a glance, and said to Yu Hu.
But then Yu He sighed and said, "But we can't use this breakthrough!" ”
"My lord, why is that?" Yu Hu asked with some excitement. After all, this is the result that they have just tried with the lives of dozens of people.
Yu He gently patted Yu Hu's shoulder to signal him to relax, and then patiently explained: "If you are on flat ground, you can send warriors to attack Zhao Gou's spear and shield army formation. With Zhao's dog nest's gun formation, it will definitely not be able to stop the warriors' repeated impacts. But not now, General Zhao, who commanded Zhao Gou's battle, was very smart, and first set up a concave formation that was most suitable for interception at the mountain pass. Then he deliberately aimed his troops near the exit of the trail. The exit of the trail, which was already narrow, is now hindered by more than twenty corpses. The cavalry I was waiting for could no longer run. ”
"But sir, we can send our warriors to dismount and fight. Since this group of spear and shield soldiers is just a new pawn, it is definitely impossible for us to be the opponent of our blue wolf warriors! Yu Hu suggested very confidently.
"If we do this, we will fall into Zhao Gou's trap." Yu He shook his head and said.
"Traps? What traps? Yu Hu touched his big head and asked very puzzled.
"Zhao Goubu's concave array is different from ordinary ones. In order to increase the lethality of the crossbowmen, General Zhao specially arranged the military formation in the middle farther away. If our department focuses on attacking Zhao Gou's middle army formation, first, we will suffer one more round of crossbow attacks before the engagement (the shooting effect of the crossbowmen before the short engagement will definitely be stronger than after the engagement), and second, we will also suffer from the siege of the two wings of Zhao Gou. Third, although Zhao Gou's spear and shield soldiers did not have a good anti-riding effect, they had also received special array training and were relatively well-equipped. The combat power of foot combat is definitely stronger than the Zhao Gou we encountered earlier. Once we can't defeat this group of spear and shield soldiers in a short period of time, the Zhao Dog strong crossbowmen hiding behind them will definitely be able to shoot us down. Yu He patiently explained to Yu Hu.
"So what should I do now?" After listening to Yu He's explanation, Yu Hu asked Yu He a little anxiously. Now that he can eat fatty meat, Yu He doesn't want to give up like this.
"Although Zhao Jiang is more cunning, he has already taken countermeasures! Come over with your ears ......," Yu He said mysteriously to Yu Hu.
After Yu Hu heard Yu He's words, he obediently stretched out his ears. After saying a few words, Yu Hu's big face, which was still a little sad, immediately rejoiced. After Yu Hu saluted Yu He, he immediately went down to prepare.
……
Morale is the guarantee of the combat strength of the soldiers. The higher the morale, the stronger the soldier's combat power. As for how to improve morale, there are many ways, but the most direct and effective way is to win the battle. Obviously, the morale of the Saigo Army, which won the first battle, was quite good. However, at this time, as the commander-in-chief, Suning suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. As for what this foreboding was, he didn't know very well.
"Captain, Hu Gou is here again!" Su Lie, who was near Suning, hurriedly reminded. Just when Suning was a little stunned, a group of chaotic Hu people rushed over. Because the exit of the trail has been blocked by the corpses of the Hu people and the war horses. This time, the Hu people were mainly foot soldiers, and there were no cavalry.
After sobering up, Suning slapped himself with two big mouths, trying to lift his spirits. Immediately entered the role of the commander, and hurriedly ordered: "Kick the crossbow in place." One hundred and seventy steps ahead of the target, adjust the angle, and prepare for shooting! ”
After five breaths, Suning immediately ordered: "Wind! ”。 For the Saigo crossbows, who were already quite proficient in crossbows, the time of five breaths was enough for them to adjust the crossbow to the right angle.
Under Suning's order, the Xixiang Zhang Shi immediately pressed the trigger in their hands. More than forty crossbow bolts flew out at once. Face the power of the Tension Crossbow and the specially crafted Armor-Piercing Crossbow Arrows. The Hu people who rushed to the front couldn't stop it even if they were holding a wooden shield. It turns out that even the tower shield with the strongest defense in the shield may not be able to block the shot of the crossbow, not to mention the small round shield in Hu Ren's hand, which is simply covered with a layer of skin. Once these shield-wielding Hu people were shot by the crossbows, almost all of them were killed or injured by broken shields.
After the soldiers finished shooting, they did not look at the results, but immediately pulled the crossbow arrows again as before. For them, every breath of time on the battlefield is precious. The crossbowmen fought for the speed of the crossbow arrows on the strings.
However, the next actions of the Hu people made the Xixiang army dumbfounded. These Hu people picked up their fallen comrades and continued to charge. Don't think they're brothers, or something else. These Hu people simply wanted to use the corpses of their companions as shields. After all, the anti-arrow effect of the human body is much better than that of a wooden shield.
"Sure enough, it's a bunch of beasts!" Regarding the Hu people's practice of desecrating the dead, Liu Cun, who had received a traditional Confucian education, couldn't stand it and scolded the Hu people angrily.
"Quick! Fast! Hurry up and shoot this beast with a crossbow arrow! Similarly, Suning, as a son of a family, is also very unhappy. He urged the warriors who were pulling the crossbow strings.
"Kick the crossbow into place. Take 100 steps in front of the target, adjust the angle, and prepare for the shot. After the Zhang Shi finished loading the crossbow arrows, Suning immediately ordered.
After five breaths, Suning roared: "Wind! ”
Immediately afterwards, more than forty crossbow arrows were fired, but the target of these crossbow arrows was not the Hu people who rushed to the front carrying the corpses of their comrades, but the Hu people who were more densely numbered in the middle half. The Tension Crossbow is extremely lethal against dense enemies. Although Suning is very ashamed of Hu Ren's behavior, as the commander, Suning's mind is still very calm.
Nearly twenty more Hu people, who were attacked by the crossbow again, fell. But the death of their companion made them even more insane. These Hu people carried the corpses of their comrades on the ground and rushed towards Suning and them desperately. However, Suning didn't notice that among the charging Hu people, most of the sturdy Hu people were slowing down.
"The spear and shield soldiers are in an anti-collision formation, and the arms and crossbows are ready to shoot." Looking at the Hu people who were getting closer and closer, Suning immediately ordered with preparation.
"Arm open crossbow in position, forty steps ahead of the target! Adjust the angle. Suning roared.
"Wind!" When the Hu people who rushed to the front crossed the forty-step mark inserted on the ground, Suning immediately ordered.
Immediately after that, the arms and soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and more than thirty crossbow arrows flew out, and the Hu people who rushed in front immediately fell into pieces. However, what made Suning feel strange was that the group of Hu people in front of him collapsed directly.
Suddenly, Suning felt an ominous premonition rushing to his heart, and he hurriedly climbed a big rock to look into the distance. Suning saw that only the Hu people in the front rushed towards them, while the Hu people in the middle and behind rushed towards the two wings.
"Oops! There are capable people among the Hu people, and the weakness of the concave array is seen. Suning said a little dumbfounded.
But then Suning punched himself twice, trying to sober himself up. Now is not the time to be stunned.
……
And Yu He, who was not far from Suning, looked at the warriors who had already engaged with the two wings of the Xixiang Army, and said to himself with a smile: "The show is about to begin!" ”
