At the head of the array is a "car".

It was not known for its speed, and the chariot was draped in leather and shields, and the three people on it were also wearing thick leather armor.

Even with such protection in place, the first vehicle often suffers the greatest casualties in all wars. But all three of them were warriors who pledged their allegiance to the Fan clan and were ready to sacrifice.

It's the glory of being a soldier, and when they pedal, they can stand up to the lowly apprentices in front of them and behind them!

When the chariot came within fifty paces, the "archers" on the opposite side were still unable to start, and the left and right sides of the car began to be strange, and they talked to each other: "Why don't you shoot arrows?" Aren't you stunned by our momentum? ”

"I heard that the county magistrate of Wen County on the other side has always been known for his cowardice, and it is really possible."

They couldn't help but perk up, if those cowardly Wendi soldiers on the other side were really so unbearable, they might not have to die this time, it was hard to say that they could still make great contributions.

Yu Rong excitedly grabbed the bridle and shouted: "Rush over, the right and left sides of the car will repel those armorers who are in the way with bows and arrows, and I will break through a gap." This is a flat field, and there is no hindrance, and this battle will be ......."

However, before the words fell, after entering the distance of thirty paces, a soldier wearing black armor and a bronze jacket on his head on the opposite side shouted loudly: "First column, shoot!" ”

Then, with the first snap of his fingers, an extremely sharp feathered arrow came out of the string and came towards the three men on the chariot as fast as he could.

"Boom Boom ......"

Dozens of soft sounds sounded one after another on Zhao Bing's thin front, which was the sound of bowstrings catapulting feather arrows. The nerves of the first crossbowmen were the same as the crossbow machine in their hands, they had been tense for a long time, and after hearing this, they all used their sweaty index fingers to pull the suspension knives, and shot the crossbow arrows at the first guard car that had been aiming from beginning to end!

"Not good!" Yu Rong, who was guarding the car, subconsciously wanted to tighten the eight bridles and control the speed of the car. But he saw that sixty or seventy arrows were released at the same time. A small half of them was obviously missed, but there was still a large radius left to fly straight towards the car they were driving.

Sharp arrows screamed and flew closer, which was all-round coverage. There is no way to avoid it!

"Dead!" The three people in the car wailed in unison, and then. Their consciousness was swallowed up by the sting of the heart and the boundless darkness.

"Puff puff!"

"Knock knock!"

These are the sounds of arrows hitting the flesh and hitting hardwood carts and shields.

Yu Rong let go of his grip on the bridle and let the horse run wild, he had been shot into a sieve. The left and right cars holding shields behind were not much better, and the shields were directly shattered by countless feather arrows, and the people were not saved.

Whether it is a soldier or a horse, within thirty paces, it is impossible to stop the dense shooting of a hundred crossbows in unison! Three people in the caboose. He died in an instant, and the horse pulling the cart was also seriously injured, and after a few more steps with inertia, he suddenly fell to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.

A number of crossbow bolts, which had been half a beat slower to fire, flew backwards, and they hit the second chariot, which failed to control its speed and collided with the fallen guard, causing the man to flipped on his back and one wheel bounced high. Also scrapped.

The third, fourth, and fifth cars of the "Qianrui" reacted, and the royal dragon maneuvered the horses around from both sides. But because their speed could not be reduced, they simply did not stop the charge. Because according to common sense, the opposite "archer" will rewind and open the bow after firing a shot, and take advantage of this gap, perhaps there will be time to rush to the front and break out a gap for the following twenty or so chariots.

However, they miscalculated, and when the three cars finally broke out of the dust, they were still greeted by a dense barrage of arrows.

The first column of crossbowmen who had shot empty the crossbow bolts took three steps back under Zhao Wuxian's shouting. Let the second column step forward, and the crossbows, which had long been ready to go, once again aimed at the three chariots rushing side by side. A salvo. In just a few moments, dozens of crossbow bolts collided with the speeding chariot!

The results are obvious. Fan's cars, horses, and people were either disabled or killed or wounded, and they lost their combat effectiveness anyway. The only one that relied on inertia to rush to Zhao Bing five steps in front of him, the people on it were killed by arrows, and the horses scattered and fled. A soldier with feathered arrows all over his body shouted and crawled out in a hurry, but he was also solved by the soldiers of the Le clan who were suddenly on the ground and solved it with a sword, and his left ear was cut off.

The speed of the menacing car formation on the opposite side suddenly dropped sharply, and finally stopped forty or fifty paces away. Those scholars who used to be noble and arrogant, who disdained to look at their apprentices, would look at their dead colleagues in amazement, and could not believe that this was the truth.

The Wen County crossbowmen also looked at the miracle they had created in disbelief, and the Fan's chariot that was like a thunderbolt when they were galloping was really stopped by the exquisite long-range weapons in their hands! What Dr. Zhao said is true!

Zhao Wuxian had already expected this kind of outcome, as long as the crossbowmen didn't mess up their own battles, they would have to be reimbursed as much as the chariot came.

Although the crossbow of the Spring and Autumn period was relatively primitive and had many limitations, in the era when it had just appeared, the above defects were not prominent. Because at this time, the main force of the army was the horse chariots, which were huge in target, not as fast as the cavalry when marching, and lacked maneuverability and flexibility, which were good targets for crossbow fire.

Therefore, in the original history, when the * teams were generally equipped with strong crossbows, the traditional horse chariots could not fight against them alone, and began to degenerate from the absolute main force to the auxiliary troops!

In today's battle, Zhao Wuxian laid a trap after knowing the number and types of enemies.

First of all, he used his tactics to let the light knights raid and kill the people who negotiated peace, so as to boost his own morale and anger the other side. After that, Wen Pawn, who was known for his cowardice, stood in the front row and formed a weak horizontal formation to lure the enemy chariots to crash. In the end, he used the crossbow machine to drop one thing on the chariot, and then changed hands to kill back, and now he has taken the lead and has taken the advantage.

After firing an arrow, the second column of crossbowmen immediately retreated, allowing the third column to step forward, and this time, they heard Zhao Wuxian's new order: "Step forward and pursue the enemy's chariot!" ”

"Pursuit...... Trucks? ”

The crossbowmen thought that they had heard it wrong, and when they thought about it, thousands of years had passed since Xia Qi's attack on the Hu clan and the first use of chariots. There has always been only a tall war chariot driven by scholars and doctors chasing the apprentices and trampling and shooting, where is there any such thing as the apprentices chasing the chariots?

in their consciousness. It's like a rat suddenly chasing a raccoon slave to bite, and a praying mantis to hunt and kill a yellow finch, which is unreasonable.

But the joy of success drove away the timidity and doubts of the crossbowmen. The speed at which they wind up is gradually returning to their normal training level, and they no longer make mistakes when changing rows. Now that Dr. Zhao has an order. Just do it, not to mention that after having a crossbow machine, the chariot on the opposite side seems to be very can't help fighting.

Zhao Wuxian's order was not limited to this, he asked the Le clan armor soldiers to get out of the way to the sides, and prepared to follow the crossbowmen with the spear-wielding apprentices, and he also had his own arrangements for the chariot and light knights.

……

Fang Cai, after realizing that something was wrong. Brigade Marshal Fan has caused the chariots to slow down and merge into a cloud array. After the convulsion in front of him, sporadic crossbow bolts flew past his ears, startling him, and the secret path was fortunate to slow down the following vehicles, otherwise they would have fallen for the trick of the other side.

But what exactly is that? The commander of the Fan clan faintly remembered that he had heard from his colleagues that there was a thing called "crossbow" in the southern Chu State.

"Stop! Turn around! After so many years of fighting, the brigade commander had never seen a weapon that could destroy five chariots in an instant, and he was afraid that he could no longer rush to charge. Hurriedly waved a small flag to tell the chariots behind not to move any further, but to stop completely.

However, he immediately regretted his order. And paid a terrible price.

The essence of the chariot is to use the massive volume to impact and create a terrible intimidation on the apprentices, rather than stop and wait!

Once they lose their speed, they are no longer formidable roaring behemoths, but a massive living target!

It is not an easy thing to turn the huge carriage around, Yu Rong desperately shook the bridle, and the right and left sides of the carriage jumped down and pulled the horse to turn around, and the scene suddenly became a mess. And the Zhao Bing array on the opposite side. Suddenly it started to move.

Dense drumbeats rang out, rustling footsteps sounded. The Legion Armor retreated to the sides, and the crossbowmen began to hold their crossbows flat. Walk at a not-so-neat pace.

On the chariot, the commander of the Fan Clan, who couldn't turn, watched the other party get closer and closer, and the "bow" in their hands did not need to be temporarily wound, but was in a full state of stringing. Once in range, he held a round of shots, and after the front row finished shooting, he stopped and lowered his head to wind up, just as the back two rows came up from the gap, and another round came.

The crossbowmen took turns advancing and firing, and for a moment they could only hear the sound of taut strings.

After a few breaths, Fan's chariot, which failed to get out in time, was filled with dense feather arrows, and corpses with different movements were lying down in the car. Most of the charioteers were reimbursed by the crossbow arrows, and those who did not die were also reimbursed by the Le's armor soldiers who arrived later.

When he came, there were thirty wagons, flags flying high, and after a while, only more than ten of them fled in the desert, and the flags all fell down weakly.

However, the nightmare of the Fan's riders is not over, and worse things are yet to come.

Directly in front of them were the Fan disciples who had been following closely behind, and these disciples had been frightened by the fiasco of their own chariots, and they stopped seventy or eighty paces away at a loss.

Brigade Marshal Fan, who was hit by an arrow in the chest, supported his body and held on to the rails to observe the situation ahead. This battle is a complete defeat, but you can't just run for your life and impact your own family, right? So he waved his flag to the left and right, divided the chariot into two teams, bypassed the dense crowd of Fan's disciples, and drove to the sides.

However, Zhao Bing was now under the command of Zhao Wuxian, and the whole formation moved forward. More than ten chariots on the right lined up to charge, and twenty or thirty archers on the left also galloped on horseback, and their target was the more than ten Fan's chariots that escaped from under the crossbow!
