These are naturally the bed crossbows produced by the Taoqiu Military Factory and that Dai Yan has always been proud of!

In previous wars, Taoqiu's army used the bed crossbow in the defense of the Xiangyi industrial area, and also used it in the siege of Chuqiu. Of course, the most used bed crossbow is naturally the sailor.

Now, he is about to apply such a lethal equipment to field warfare!

The power of the bed crossbow is undeniable, not to mention that it has light arrows that can shoot up to a range of more than 500 meters, and it also has a stepping arrow that can shoot into the city wall! Even if it was a trap camp carefully wrapped in the Taoqiu army, it was impossible to really resist its attack! How could those Suiyang Army's puppet camp with wooden shields and low defensive power be able to withstand its attacks?

And now on display on the battlefield, there are more than 5,000 bed crossbows! Such a large number of bed crossbows were divided into five rows by Dai Yan and waited in place. When the Suiyang army fell into the camp and approached the Taoqiu formation, there was no need for Dai Yan to personally instruct, and the officers at the bottom began to give specific command!

The officers standing on the high ground first began to aim their crossbow arrows, and most of the officers in Taoqiu now have advanced high-powered telescopes in their hands, which can roughly measure the distance of the enemy through the scale on the telescope. Then, by adjusting the height of the elevation angle of the bed crossbow, they can control the specific range of the entire bed crossbow!

"Distance 400, elevation angle 30!" As soon as the commander gave the order, the heralds on the battlefield immediately conveyed the orders one by one to the soldiers in control.

The commander then picked up a whistle and blew it hard. All the soldiers wielding the bed crossbow immediately looked at the commander. When the commander waved down the command flag in his hand, the herald at the scene immediately shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

More than 1,000 crossbow arrows were launched in a perfect parabola! The crossbow arrows that rose into the air flew straight towards the Suiyang Trap camp that was running rapidly with high-speed kinetic energy!

An incredible scene appeared: the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield could clearly see that the soldiers of the Suiyang Army were rushing towards these crossbow arrows! When the crossbow bolts landed, these soldiers who rushed immediately fell directly like harvested wheat!

Neither the armor on their bodies nor the shields in their hands can stop these crossbow arrows in the slightest!

Such a dense and lethal result made the observers sent to the battlefield by the warring parties and even the surrounding forces feel incredible! They couldn't understand why such a crossbow attack could cause so much damage.

The only thing that is not surprising to achieve this result is Dai Yan, who has personally developed Taoqiu to such a prosperous point and trained the Taoqiu army.

In Dai Yan's view, if an army removes its spiritual soft power, what plays a decisive role in hard power is nothing more than the sophistication of logistical supply and equipment.

The logistical supply of an army is the most crucial factor in determining the combat effectiveness of this army. Even if it is a modern mechanical unit in later generations, logistics cannot keep up, which will inevitably lead to low combat effectiveness. In this regard, even the superpowers are not able to get rid of this shortcoming in the slightest! The imperial graveyard of later generations, which successively caused the Soviet Union and the United States to fail, fully illustrates the iron law that in places with complex terrain, if sufficient logistics supply cannot be guaranteed, it will inevitably lead to failure!

Five thousand bed crossbows is a rather terrifying logistical supply, if it weren't for the proximity of the battlefield to Suishui, and the fact that Taoqiu has a powerful sailor and sufficient merchant shipping, the Taoqiu army would not have been able to use such a large number of bed crossbows on the battlefield!

And the sophistication of equipment does not only mean that the army has more advanced equipment, but more importantly, it needs to have standardized supply of equipment! The standardization of equipment supply can ensure the standardization of the army's training and the stability of logistics supply, so that the army can quickly form combat effectiveness and keep this combat effectiveness stable!

The standardized supply of equipment can greatly improve the combat effectiveness, and it is almost an iron law when the modern army swept the world in later generations. During the Opium War, the British army was mainly armed with an old Indian version of the Bess rifle, which was not even as accurate and range-capable as a bow and arrow. However, it is able to train a "queue shooting" type rifle team with a large scale of infantry, so as to sweep away our Qing army with a very low battle loss ratio!

Even in today's Warring States era, the army with a fixed standard of equipment supply is far stronger than other countries! The terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang excavated in later generations have a large number of standardized Qin army equipment. The equipment supply of the Qin army came from different arsenals all over the Qin State, but the equipment they supplied, as long as it was the same type of weapon, regardless of shape or size, was all the same! Dai Yan once knew from the information that the error of the excavated Qin army's crossbow arrows could be reduced to less than a millimeter, which was an incredible thing in the Warring States Period!

In order to standardize the supply of equipment, the Qin army even abandoned iron weapons with immature smelting technology and used copper weapons!

Dai Yan is familiar with history, and naturally knows how much the standardization of equipment supply plays in improving the combat effectiveness of the army! Therefore, when the Taoqiu factory was rising day by day, and Taoqiu was initially industrialized, he promoted the standardization of industry with a very strong attitude!

Taoqiu Arsenal, to be exact, is the bed crossbow produced by the Divine Crossbow Factory, which is composed of dozens of parts, and Dai Yan can't wait to implement standardized manufacturing for every screw! And every bed crossbow produced needs to be accurately tested, so that its error can be controlled within the allowable range!

It is precisely with this kind of standardized and unified weapon that Dai Yanfang can achieve the effect of accurate salvo on the battlefield! A standardized supply of weapons may not be the best, but it is the most reliable! Because it unifies the training of weapons and the supply of logistics, both of which can ensure that the combat effectiveness of an army is always maintained at a high level!

After the first salvo of the Taoqiu Army's bed crossbow, the second and even third rounds of the bed crossbow also began quickly! In Dai Yan's eyes, he clearly saw that those crossbow arrows that leaped out in an arc shot directly at the Suiyang army that followed behind!

In the midst of the screams, a large number of brave soldiers in the camp were cut to the ground like wheat! This kind of massacre-like killing finally attracted the attention of the Suiyang army, which made Hua Rong, who had to personally observe the situation on the battlefield, angry!

He knew very well that if he continued to use small-scale trapping camps to attack the large camp of the opposite Taoqiu Army little by little, as he did now, it would not have any impact on the battlefield situation! Now we must make a decision to attack the opposing army directly in a big way!

Knowing this, he had no intention of recalling the trapped camp that continued to attack, but directly increased the intensity of the attack, sending tens of thousands of troops to follow directly behind the trapped camp, and then attack the trapped camp! What he wants is to directly attack the opponent's camp with strong strength, and finish out the bed crossbow troops!

Even if it is necessary to consume the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to achieve such a goal, Hua Rong can't take care of it! Because he knows very well that today's battle here is the decisive battle between Suiyang and Taoqiu, and if this battle fails, everything for him will be destroyed!

With such a large-scale army mobilization, it is natural that Dai Yan, who is on the battlefield and personally commands, cannot be hidden! Seeing that the opponent had already begun to dispatch the main force, Dai Yan did not stay behind at all, and directly conveyed the order to let the infantry step forward and face off with the Suiyang army!

The infantry units lined up in columns, taking the army as a unit, and advanced quickly, and soon left the entire bed crossbow force behind! In Dai Yan's opinion, this can be regarded as using the powerful infantry unit of the Taoqiu Army to protect the bed crossbow troops!

The soldiers at the forefront of the queue were the sword and shield soldiers of Tao Qiu. With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, these soldiers began to fight head-on with the soldiers of the Suiyang Army who came to attack! With the iron shield wrapped in the hands of the sword and shield bearer, and the sharp standard steel knife, these soldiers blocked the direct attack of the Suiyang army's trapped camp!

Behind the sword and shield soldiers, there are pikemen as cover. From time to time, these pikemen stab a shot from behind, and they can inflict damage on the Suiyang army that is attacking head-on!

And behind the pikemen, there were teams of crossbowmen. These crossbowmen were all armed with standard bed crossbows, and under the command of the officers, the crossbowmen aimed their crossbows at the unarmored soldiers in a neat volley! Behind the crossbowmen is the bed crossbow unit that fires crossbow arrows in a parabolic fashion, providing more powerful long-range firepower!

Dai Yan asked the infantry team to take the initiative to engage the Suiyang army, not to take an offensive, but a defensive strategy! When the opponent has already pressed the main force up, he does not ask his own army to give the opponent much damage, but only asks his own troops to use strong attack means to resist the Suiyang army's attack like the impact of the sea of people!

The Suiyang Army sent the main force to participate in the battle, and the situation on the entire battlefield immediately had a great change! Originally, the slaughter scene of the Taoqiu military bed crossbow against the Suiyang army remained unchanged, and the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate!

Such a stalemate comes at the cost of the lives of soldiers on both sides! In the place where the two armies come into contact, every soldier dies, and there are follow-up soldiers to make up for it immediately, completely forming an airtight state!

In such a large-scale decisive battle, the cruelty of war is undoubtedly revealed! No matter how highly skilled a person is, or an officer in a high position, as long as he goes to the front line, he is no different from others! The entire front-line battle site has formed a meat grinder!

Due to the defensive position taken by the Taoqiu army, coupled with the general advantage of the Taoqiu army in terms of equipment to crush the Suiyang army, in this kind of meat grinder attrition war, the casualties of the Taoqiu soldiers were far lower than those of the Suiyang army, and the battle loss ratio between the Suiyang army and the Taoqiu army basically reached the point of 1:3 or even 1:4!

However, even with such a high battle loss ratio, Dai Yan did not dare to relax at all, after all, there is still a huge gap in strength between the Suiyang Army and the Taoqiu Army!
