Chapter 2281: Strong Crossbow Suppression
If all the cavalry under Lu Bu's command is gathered together, the power generated must be huge, and when the number of cavalry reaches a certain level, it is far from being able to stop those armies that do not have sufficient means of defense, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the battlefield is a good illustration.
Otherwise, why did the other princes vigorously develop the strength of the cavalry under their command, and the Cao army built heavy armored cavalry at any cost, in order to be able to do more on the battlefield in the coming days.
However, no matter how the princes pursued, they found that there was still a certain distance from the cavalry under Lu Bu, whether it was light cavalry or heavy cavalry, the strength was not comparable to other princes, and the princes followed the example of the Chang'an army, but they failed to affect the Chang'an army to a greater extent, but sent a lot of rice and money to Lu Bu.
"General Dianman is responsible for the scouts on the battlefield, and General Ben doesn't want news on the battlefield that our army has not detected." Zhao Yun set his sights on Dianman.
"The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely do it without omissions." Dianman hugging fists.
After receiving the order, the generals of the remaining divisions returned to their divisions, and the news of the presence of enemy soldiers in front of the army quickly spread among the army.
The distance of ten miles is only half an hour for the army.
The black Chang'an army brought a sense of heaviness to the southern army, and a nervous look could be faintly seen in their expressions, the previous battle with the Chang'an army, the southern army was not in an advantage, and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun gave the southern army an unforgettable memory.
At a distance of five hundred paces from the enemy, Zhao Yun gave an order, and the Chang'an army stopped advancing.
With the issuance of orders one after another, after a short rest of the Chang'an army, slowly towards the enemy, the first to dispatch is the five hundred flying cavalry led by Dian Man, wandering on the right wing of the battlefield, the left wing is the Mo Dao sergeant led by Mi Zhu, if the enemy cavalry appears on the left flank, the strength of the Mo Dao Army can fully deal with it, and the remaining cavalry is left in the Chinese army, not only as the last charge force, but also to protect the safety of the Chinese army.
The Chinese army plays a vital role in a large army, if even the safety of the Chinese army cannot be guaranteed, what kind of situation will appear to their own soldiers can be imagined, no matter what the situation on the battlefield is on both sides of the enemy, the strength of the Chinese army is indispensable, and the strength of the Chinese army must be the elite of the army.
The flying cavalry appeared on the right flank of the battlefield, forming a lot of pressure on Zhengang, and the army under his command looked at these cavalry with some fear, they had fought with the flying cavalry on the battlefield before, but in that battle, Zhao Yun only relied on hundreds of cavalry, which made the camp of the southern army chaotic, and left a deep impression on the soldiers of the southern army.
And the strength shown by the flying horse on the battlefield cannot be underestimated.
There are 8,000 troops under the command of Zhengang, including 300 cavalry, 300 cavalry is a force that is not weak, but when they face the enemy is the elite Chang'an army, do the cavalry in the army dare to step forward, from the battle between the scouts, you can see how huge the difference between the cavalry of the two sides is.
Zhengang did not plan to send the cavalry in the army to meet the enemy, but strengthened the defense of the cavalry of the army, and after the enemy's cavalry appeared, the left flank of the enemy army would definitely be negligent, and if the cavalry was sent to attack the left flank of the enemy, it would definitely have the effect of surprise.
Zhengang's calculation is not wrong, if this kind of thing is put on the body of an ordinary army, it may be possible, but the enemy they are facing is the famous Chang'an army, and the Chang'an army, which terrifies the enemy on the battlefield, can it still be handled with common sense when fighting against such an enemy army.
After learning that the enemy's general was Zhao Yun, Zhengang secretly raised his vigilance, and it can be seen from the past that Zhao Yun led hundreds of cavalry to raid the army camp that Zhao Yun was a brave and resourceful general, otherwise his army would not have suffered heavy losses that night.
Compared to Zhao Yun, Zhengang has not experienced many major battles, he is a civilian official, if it is not for the critical situation in Yizhou this time, he listened to Gao Ding's words, and he will not easily lead the army to come, the battlefield is an extremely dangerous place in Zhengang's opinion, if you can stay away from the battlefield, it would be better.
Moreover, the number of times Zhengang led the troops to fight was not much, which was much worse than Gaoding, and the strength of the army in the county was also the weakest among the three counties.
However, Zhengang knows the importance of the current war to the southern army, and it must be foolproof in order to give his own army a greater advantage on the battlefield, otherwise, the final defeat is likely to be the southern army.
After the soldiers of both sides lined up, they began to approach slowly, and the soldiers under the command of the front raised their shields and walked cautiously, lest the enemy's arrows would come towards them at a distance of 500 paces.
The speed of the soldiers of the Chang'an Army is much faster, and the position of the front army corresponding to the direction of the Chinese army is a thousand strong crossbow troops, and these thousand strong crossbow troops use ordinary crossbows, that is, strong crossbows with a range of one hundred and twenty steps, this kind of crossbow is used to deal with the enemy, which is more than enough in Zhao Yun's opinion.
No weapons were found in the enemy's army, which means that the enemy army could not have the means of long-range attack, and a distance of one hundred and twenty paces could form a suppression for the enemy, and at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, it could inflict a steady stream of damage on the enemy.
Zhao Yun naturally understands the combat method of the strong crossbow army, and Zhao Yun also agrees with the performance of the strong crossbow army on the battlefield, once the strong crossbow army releases the crossbow arrows in its hands, it can continue to cause damage to the enemy, and this combat method can cause greater damage to the enemy.
In the confrontation of the front army, Zhao Yun relied on the strength of the strong crossbow army, and his task was mainly to contain more strength of the enemy army, but Zhao Yun was not willing to have no outstanding performance on the battlefield, and he had a thousand cavalry in his hands, and it was not a problem to win the battle against the enemy army.
At a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, the soldiers of the southern army still didn't feel anything, but the strong crossbowmen in the front army raised the strong crossbows in their hands and stopped.
A dense stream of crossbow arrows came towards the front army of the southern army, and many officers and men in the army did not expect the enemy to release arrows at such a long distance, in their subconscious, only after a hundred paces, they would be attacked by the enemy, and at a greater distance, the enemy army could not release the crossbow arrows.
