Chapter 2073: Confrontation (Subscription Requested) (Page 1/1)
The bed crossbows of both sides were cautious in the process of advancing, and when they were four hundred paces apart, they both stopped, although they knew that the other side's bed crossbows could not reach four hundred paces in range, so they had to be more careful.
The generals of the Yizhou army have full confidence in their bed crossbows, as long as they are at a distance of three hundred and thirty steps, they can cause greater damage to the enemy, and at a distance of three hundred and thirty steps, the craftsmen of Yizhou have made a lot of efforts for the bed crossbow, and they have paid a lot of effort in order to make the bed crossbow have greater power on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Yizhou army believe that the distance of three hundred and thirty steps is enough to fight against the Chang'an army, even if the range of the enemy's bed crossbow can reach the same distance, their own bed crossbow has a considerable advantage in numbers, and it can also achieve the final victory.
The corners of Gao Ran's mouth showed a sneer, four hundred steps, closer to the range of his own bed crossbow, and the general of the Yizhou army who controlled the bed crossbow, Gao Ran has greater confidence in the bed crossbow in the Chang'an army, three hundred and fifty steps, not an ordinary bed crossbow can be reached, according to the news from the detailed work of the princes of all parties, except for the bed crossbow of Cao Jun in the range of nearly three hundred and fifty steps, the bed crossbow in the rest of the princes' army is not to worry, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are hostile parties, naturally they will not easily inform others of the method of building the bed crossbow in the general.
Relying on the bed crossbow is also an important means for Lu Bu's army to gain the first opportunity, as long as the bed crossbow is used to suppress the enemy, if the Yizhou army wants to make a difference on the battlefield, the first thing to do is to charge, only by charging, can the Yizhou army reduce losses under the power of the bed crossbow.
In a decisive battle between the two armies, it is very important to take the lead, which side can quickly gain the advantage on the battlefield, and in the subsequent engagement, the enemy can pay a heavier price.
The generals on both sides who control the bed crossbow are cautious, lest they go to the enemy's range, and they don't notice it too much, they have been extra told before going to the battlefield, the rear of the bed crossbow corresponds to the direction of the Chinese army, if the bed crossbow is lost in the confrontation, it is to give the enemy a chance, and the Chinese army on their own side will be one step further.
At three hundred and sixty paces, Gao Ran gave an order, and the advance army stopped moving forward and set its eyes on the bed crossbowmen opposite, their bed crossbows had already been wound, waiting for the enemy to approach the firing range.
The bed crossbowmen of the Yizhou army were still trying, because the range had not yet reached the range of the Yizhou army, the enemy's bed crossbow stopped, and the Yizhou army moved forward cautiously.
When the enemy army was three hundred and fifty paces away, the bed crossbowmen who had received Gao Ran's order released their deadly crossbow arrows, and in the confrontation of bed crossbows, the side that fired the crossbow arrows first must have an advantage.
Two hundred bed crossbows were used together, and the sound of bed crossbows tearing the air came from time to time, shocking the heart, and after shooting the crossbow arrows, the bed crossbowmen did not pause in the slightest, and even did not have time to appreciate their results, so they began to load the crossbow arrows, and the bed crossbowmen who were responsible for aiming at the enemy were preparing to adjust the direction, and only by completing these things at the fastest speed could they achieve a greater advantage.
Unlike the bed crossbowmen, the front troops in other positions had already begun to fight fiercely, but after hearing the sound of crossbow arrows, many soldiers from both sides nearby couldn't help but turn their eyes to the battlefield, and they wanted to see which side had taken the lead on the battlefield.
The Chang'an army was excited, because they saw their own crossbow arrows raging in the Yizhou army, and the bed crossbowmen of the Yizhou army were so fragile under their bed crossbows, and the powerful crossbow arrows even directly penetrated the bed crossbows in the Yizhou army.
And the strength of the bed crossbow is also reflected in this time, the bed crossbow soldiers themselves are not wearing armor, on the battlefield they need to shoot the crossbow arrows faster, and the existence of the armor will affect their movements, and the range of the bed crossbow, so that they do not need to consider the enemy's arrows, what they have to do is to release the crossbow arrows in the bed crossbow, when the bed crossbow fights the bed crossbow, the armor is even more unnecessary to exist, wearing armor, can it block the power of the crossbow arrows, At most, it's just one less bolt to pierce.
After the general of the Yizhou army saw his own losses, his face was slightly pale, and he looked at the Chang'an army with some fear, at this time the two sides were about three hundred and fifty steps apart, and there were twenty steps to reach the range of their bed crossbows, the enemy's sudden archery, in the Yizhou army's expectations, in this case, the loss of the Yizhou army's bed crossbowmen can be imagined, at least twenty bed crossbows lost their role in this confrontation, and the soldiers who controlled the bed crossbows, the minimum loss was two hundred people, different from the crossbow car, the control of the bed crossbow generally requires eight to ten people, under such a dense crossbow arrow, it is not a problem to lose two hundred people.
"Bed crossbowmen, move quickly!" The general immediately ordered, in the confrontation of the bed crossbow, their own side is already in the weakness, if you can't get to your own range as soon as possible, there will be greater losses, this reason, the generals in the army still understand, only closer to the enemy, they have a chance to counterattack, Yizhou army in the number of bed crossbows, occupy an advantage, this is also where the confidence of the Yizhou generals lies.
The generals of the Yizhou army reacted quickly, but when the bed crossbowmen of the Yizhou army were carried to the designated distance and were ready to teach the enemy a lesson, the bed crossbows on the side of the Chang'an army were once again powerful.
With two rounds of crossbow arrows, the number of Yizhou troops lost 400 people, and the number of bed crossbows damaged reached 50.
"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing this, the general of the Yizhou army did not hesitate to give an order, although his side was at a disadvantage in the confrontation of bed crossbows, but only when the bed crossbowmen destroyed more enemies on the battlefield, and their own army could reduce more losses in the process of charging later.
The crossbow arrows on both sides come and go, the bed crossbow in the Chang'an army is also damaged, under such a dense crossbow and arrow confrontation, it is a huge test for the bed crossbowmen, the bed crossbowmen on the Yizhou army side are a little trembling when they are loaded with crossbow arrows, they are the first time to experience the process of bed crossbow confrontation, for the confrontation between bed crossbowmen, lack of experience, the strength of the enemy, so that the bed crossbowmen of the Yizhou army have been greatly stimulated, especially when they see the crossbow arrows through the robe, the fear in their hearts is completely stimulated, two rounds of crossbow arrows, It made many bed crossbowmen look in the direction of the Chang'an army with greater fear, and the speed of loading crossbow arrows was also affected.
