The sudden rain of arrows directly stunned Cao Jun, this was the first time they had encountered a way of fighting another phalanx across one phalanx, and the range of the crossbow arrows was four hundred steps, to say the least. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The five-foot-long arrow cluster, the thickness of the wood, the arrow cluster fell, not to mention the armor of ordinary soldiers, even the shield could directly penetrate.

Cao Cao didn't have time to react, but he saw that on the shield wall of the other party, a guard suddenly appeared, a Zhang Jin crossbow on the shield wall, at those dazed crossbowmen is a fierce shot, crossbow, and the range is farther than the crossbowmen encountered in the past, judging from the crossbows and crossbows captured by Xiahou Yuan, the farthest range of the crossbow is only two hundred steps, and the crossbow is less than a hundred steps, it is Cao Cao who wants to suppress the opponent's crossbowmen with two stone crossbows.

"Be careful! Shield hand raises shield! ”

Xiahou Yuan, who commanded the crossbow array, didn't expect that the opponent's individual crossbow could shoot so far, and it was considered to be a battle-hardened formation, and he was not stunned like those soldiers, so he hurriedly ordered.

Many shield men subconsciously raised the round shield in their hands to protect the crossbowmen behind them, but although the crossbow arrows shot out this time were not dense, they had a strong penetrating power, although the arrows were not as long as five feet long like the arrow shaft of the previous wave of arrow rain, but they were also more than two feet long, with a strong penetrating power on the wooden shield, directly penetrating the wooden shield, nailing the shield hand behind the wooden shield to the ground, and some arrow clusters shot directly into the gap of the shield More terrifying, not only penetrated the body of the crossbowman in the back row, Even the crossbowmen behind them shot through together, and if there was no shield to block them, these arrows could often shoot through the bodies of the two, breaking the horror of abnormality.

On the shield wall over there, after a row of crossbowmen shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, they quickly retreated into the shield, followed by another crossbowman climbed up and released arrows at this side, the range of the crossbow was definitely more than two hundred and fifty steps, although it was a single crossbow, it could not be fired in a row, but the power was extremely terrifying, Xiahou Yuan even felt that even if it was a three-stone crossbow in front of these crossbow bows, it was only abused.

"Retreat! Spread out and retreat! Seeing that the rows of crossbowmen trained by themselves were under the opponent's strong bows and crossbows, and there was no chance to resist, Xiahou Yuan could only continue to command the crossbowmen to retreat, hoping to withdraw from the opponent's range.

"Crunch~"

Behind the shield wall, the sound of the ugly bowstring pulling to the limit sounded again like the curse of death, Xiahou Yuan's face turned green, he hadn't forgotten the attack of the wave of crossbows just now, the range was already enough to catch up with the bed crossbows they brought, but among the Cao army, the bed crossbows added up to only three hundred, and the kind of strong crossbows on the opposite side must be more than three hundred, which can be organized into such a dense rain of arrows, not to mention two thousand or even more.

"Hum~"

Another wave of arrows rained down into the air, and this time, it hit Cao Cao's Chinese army directly, with a range of 600 steps! Xiahou Yuan's face turned green this time, and he roared bitterly: "Lord, retreat!" ”

Although he knew that it was impossible for Cao Cao to hear his own shout, Xiahou Yuan still shouted frantically, only in this way could he dispel the feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

"Puff~"

The funeral song of death sounded again, not counting the dense rain of arrows, countless Cao Jun didn't even have a chance to hide and fell to the ground in pieces, Gao Ran blocked in front of Cao Cao, the spear in his hand was lit, and the three crossbow arrows shot nearby were sent away, but the hands holding the gun were numb, behind him, Cao Cao held the Yitian Sword, but his face was pale.

"Lord, are you okay!?" Gao Ran turned his head to look at it, concerned.

waved his hand and said: "Command all departments, withdraw from the range of the opponent's crossbow, and the shield car will attack!" Bed crossbow shooting, the shield car was pushed out of the army, at the same time, three hundred bed crossbows are also lined up, closely followed by the shield car, these bed crossbows have been improved, can shoot more than five hundred steps, although the range is worse than the opponent's kind of crossbow, but with the cover of the shield car, it can also play a role, at least the shield wall should be able to break. ”

"Are you all right?" After giving the order, Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and other princes who were accompanying him, Liu Bei was blessed by Yu and Huang Zhong, and pulled Liu Xun behind him, and Sun Yi also blocked Sun Jing in front of him, but Shi Yi was shot through his head in the previous rain of arrows, and at this moment he was nailed to the ground at a strange angle with a dead face, which made Cao Cao's face suddenly more pale, and the princes and envoys who watched the battle died on their own territory, no matter how you say it, it is a shame.

Liu Bei and the others sighed, and under the escort of Guan Yu and other fierce generals, they began to evacuate with Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao's order, the two legions that had not been attacked in front of the formation suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat, Xiahou Yuan also withdrew from the opponent's range with the crossbowmen, and calculated it, Xiahou Yuan wanted to scold his mother angrily, the range of the opponent's single-shot crossbow was more than three hundred and thirty steps, and the five thousand crossbowmen commanded by himself plus the shield hand were half knocked off by the other party in such a short time.

"Woo woo woo~"

In the desolate sound of the horn, rows of shield cars were pushed out, the so-called shield cars, according to the original Liu Ye in Yecheng to get out of the city car, just remove the impact wood, thicken the shield in front, those January rushed out of the city car, but even the powerful God of War crossbow has to be broken by two or three arrows, and the shield car in front of him, although the role is single, but the ability to resist the attack is stronger.

After the shield car, three hundred bed crossbows were carried out, followed by the shield car to change forward, and a row of long arrows fell, many arrow clusters were directly nailed to the shield car, and there were also baffles above the shield car, which were used to protect the soldiers, and the sharp arrow clusters were not able to break through the defense of the shield car, and the Cao army, who had just regrouped in the back formation, couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers when they saw this.

"General, the other side has sent out a strange chariot, and our army's broken crossbow cannot penetrate the enemy's defenses." The flag officer looked at Gao Shundao.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Gao Shun led people up to the lookout, looked at the shield car that was slowly approaching and the crossbow behind the shield car, frowned and thought about it: "It's still the direction just now, keep shooting!" ”

"Put!" As the flag officer quickly conveyed the order in the flag language, the general who was responsible for commanding the crossbow formation of the broken army gave an order, and three thousand crossbow arrows of the broken army rose into the air again, crossing a distance of six hundred steps, where Cao Jun's shield cart had already passed, but the bed crossbow had just arrived, and three thousand arrows were clustered down, and many soldiers carrying ballistas were directly shot through the body, and dozens of ballista carts were paralyzed.

"Keep going!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, he must suppress the opponent's crossbow, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight!

Xiahou Yuan sent another team of soldiers and horses, lifted the bed crossbows again, and continued to advance, and at the same time sent a crossbowman into the shelter of the shield cart, waiting to break through the shield wall, and shoot at the enemy.

"Shield! Sword and shield hands prepare! ”

Gao Shun looked at the shield car and the bed crossbow that continued to move forward, and snorted coldly, although the army breaking crossbow is not as troublesome as the God of War crossbow, but loading the crossbow arrow is much slower than the ordinary crossbow arrow, reloading once, plus the time to adjust the position, the other party is enough to move forward a hundred steps, looking at the shield car, Gao Shun sneered, it seems that Cao Cao has studied how to break his own soldiers and horses over the years.

With Gao Shun's order, a team of wrestlers quickly stepped forward with a few brackets, supporting the shield wall in front of them with brackets, and the shield hand in charge of the shield freed his hand and quickly retreated, followed by a team of sword and shield soldiers quickly stepped forward, although it was not as terrifying as the shield that could build a shield wall, but the shield in the hands of these sword and shield men was also very high, and the shield stood in front of him, only half of his head was exposed, each shield was five feet five inches, and the thickness was two fingers wide, and it also had a strong defensive power, and could even block an attack from the crossbow of the broken army.

After experiencing a round of arrow rain again, the bed crossbow finally arrived at the designated position under the protection of the shield car, the shield car continued to move forward, and the bed crossbow began to calibrate, compared to the precision strike of the broken army crossbow, the bed crossbow is more effort to pull the bowstring, fill the arrows, the origin of the name of the eight ox crossbow, but it takes eight cows to pull the bowstring full, of course, in fact, it is just an exaggerated description, but it does take a lot of effort to pull it apart.

"Crossbowmen retreat!" Gao Shun waved his hand and signaled the crossbowmen on the shield wall to start retreating, while the broken crossbows began to retreat under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers.

"Put!" In the roar of the three hundred bed crossbows, three hundred giant arrows as thick as spears tore through the air, with a low and sharp whistling, and instantly crossed the distance of five hundred paces, and in a series of muffled sounds, many shield walls were shot open, and many crossbowmen who had not had time to retreat were directly torn apart by the giant arrows, and the bloody breath suddenly diffused.

The Broken Army Crossbow has already shot five rounds of arrow rain, and most of the manpower in charge of pulling the string has been used up before, and others have quickly replaced it, and after opening up a distance, they continue to adjust the angle according to the instructions of the flag officer to suppress the opponent's bed crossbow.

"Bang~"

After another round of crossbow arrows, many shields were shattered, and the shield cart was also suppressed by the bed crossbow, advancing to a distance of two hundred steps, Cao Jun crossbowmen began to shoot arrows inward along the gaps of those big shields, and the sword and shield soldiers quickly caught up and blocked the opponent's arrow clusters, and at the same time the crossbowmen also began to continue to exert their might, only this time, because of the protection of the shield car, after the Cao Jun crossbowmen released their arrows, they quickly hid in the ballista and the casualties were greatly reduced.

"Bang~"

Another round of broken crossbows fell, and a Cao Jun who controlled the bed crossbow was shot, and the bed crossbow that had not yet been adjusted was fired directly, piercing a shield car and the two crossbowmen under the shield car directly from behind.

There were also several bed crossbows that were completely paralyzed by the continuous blows of the broken crossbows, and by this time, the ballista had advanced in front of the shield wall, and quickly crashed into the already broken shield wall.

"Kill!"

Seeing that the opponent's defense was broken, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and under his command, a cavalry team and two phalanxes began to attack Gao Shun at the same time.

"The broken army retreats with crossbows, the sword and shield army protects, and all the crossbow troops fight while retreating!" Gao Shun jumped down from the watchtower and began to command the army to retreat, starting from three years ago, Lu Bu had begun to popularize the theory of mobile warfare, and if he could not fight close to the enemy army in close combat, he would never fight close combat with the enemy, and use the superior range to destroy the opponent in the movement, and strengthen the training of these new tactics.
