Chapter 150: Jumping Flame [6]

"Lord Wang!" All the cavalry looked at Zhao Yu at this moment, waiting for Zhao Yu's order to be issued.

"Get ready to fight! Grab your bow and arrows, you don't need any other weapons, you don't need to get on your horse, and you're going! "Zhao Yu's first order was confusing, but Zhao Yu led all the cavalry with his actions.

The idea of these cavalrymen is very simple, although I don't know, but the prince himself has done it, so follow it himself! The prince will never joke with his own life, right? If that's the case, we don't care, there is a prince to accompany the funeral.

It was a very simple, but also realistic idea, which made the cavalry of the ironclad capital twist into a tough rope and unite tightly around Zhao Yu.

Although the range of the Xiongnu bow is longer than that of ordinary riding bows, the range of riding bows is shorter than that of longbows used by infantry. The theoretical range of the Hun bow in Zhao Yu's hand can reach one hundred and seventy steps! In fact, at this distance, not to mention how much strength there is, it is already extremely difficult to aim alone, and it completely depends on fighting character.

The actual effective range is about fifty paces! Converted to meters, it is equivalent to about eighty meters. But that's only when there's no wind or a light breeze. The environment has a great influence on the range, and in a higher place, the arrow can be shot farther, and the arrow shot downwind is also farther. On the other hand, in low terrain and in a headwind state, the range is much closer.

Adjusting the bowstring, Zhao Yu lined up more than forty cavalrymen in a row, bending bows and arrows one by one.

However, because it was night, the pikemen didn't really see it. It's just that they still had a commotion, probably strange, why didn't the cavalry on the opposite side get on their horses?

The commander seemed to be afraid that Zhao Yu would lure the soldiers to charge, so he messed up the formation, and did not dare to let the soldiers charge, but let the lower-level officers suppress the restless hearts of the soldiers.

None of this was unexpected by Zhao Yu.

A confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Yu took the lead in bending his bow and arrow, feeling the direction of the wind, "Whoosh!" The arrow shot out and landed about fifty paces away. There was a lot of night wind tonight, but it was not a headwind, nor a tailwind, it was a southeast wind, which had a certain effect on the arrows. However, because there are houses on both sides, the effect of the night wind is much reduced, and the actual range is very weak.

Zhao Yu secretly estimated in his heart, and felt that there was no problem, and there was no need to change the military order.

This time the Mengshan thieves are in a commotion again, bow and arrow! The enemy actually used bows and arrows? Aren't they afraid of being slaughtered in close quarters? This time it's not just the minions below, even the commander of the Mengshan Bandit can't help but be suspicious this time. However, out of fear of cavalry, he decided to respond to all changes with the same.

If you order a charge, you will inevitably mess up the formation, and the three hundred pikemen not long ago were defeated by a small force of less than fifty cavalry because of the confusion of the formation, and they must not repeat the mistake of the past. Besides, this is just a bow and arrow, where is the lethality? It's a big deal, they shot and wounded seventy or eighty people! Now that there are people living in the wilderness, there is no way to recruit soldiers?

But after taking the officers and troops on the opposite side, those more than forty war horses were enough to make up for all the losses! It is also said that the officers and soldiers have sharp knives, strong bows, and strong armor. As soon as he thought of this, the commander couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and a heartfelt joy made his face turn ruddy and abnormal.

It's just that it's really that simple?

The dream is plump, and the reality is skinny.

If this commander knew this, he must have shouted that the author of the words was his confidant.

The Mengshan thieves were originally a mutinous thief similar to the militia, and in the case of insufficient training, in order to maintain the formation, they naturally had to sacrifice speed. Originally, the speed of the pikemen advancing in formation was not fast, but now that speed is sacrificed, the speed of movement can be imagined.

Zhao Yu calmly approached with the soldiers, but the pikemen were powerless against Zhao Yu, and the formation was chaotic when they accelerated their speed, not speeding up, but making the other party very calm, it felt as if the other party was eating, no! It should be breathing!

Zhao Yu was about fifty paces away, raised his left hand, and the cavalry immediately stopped.

After looking at the enemy who could already roughly see the shape of his face quite playfully, Zhao Yu took out the Hun bow and bent the bow and arrows. "Ready!" shouted. Sixty-three degree angles...... Projectile ......"

"Whoosh! Sou! The sound of arrows breaking through the air immediately rang out continuously.

The projectile has a characteristic, that is, it has a strong penetration force and a long range. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious, it is easy to be affected by the wind speed, the accuracy rate is greatly reduced, and each arrow consumes more mind.

It's just that now the Mengshan thieves are in dense formations in order to fight against the cavalry, and these shortcomings have become a little insignificant.

The arrows fell at the front of the Mengshan bandits, not the position of the first row of armored pikemen, but the place behind the first row of pikemen, which was equivalent to about the minions of the third and fourth rows. Zhao Yu is not stupid, he knows that even if the arrow falls to the pikeman within this range, unless it is a critical position, throat, eyes, etc., it will only slightly injure the pikeman. Instead of doing so, this stirred up the bravery in the pikeman's heart.

It was too late, and the arrow had already crossed the night sky and landed towards the Mengshan bandits, and the minions of that part immediately resounded with a miserable scream. Maybe someone is wondering, didn't the Mengshan thieves capture a lot of armor from the Song army? How can the resistance to arrows be so weak.

The Mengshan thieves did capture a lot of equipment from the Song army, but these equipment were not captured and could be used.

Just like the armor, each piece of armor is large and small, and it is impossible for every piece to match, which requires the thief's own craftsman to modify, which requires a process and a certain amount of materials.

In addition, the armor or something, how to say that it was also cleaned back from the battlefield, how could it be that there was no damage at all? On the battlefield, you don't think about capturing armor, but when you swing your weapon at your opponent, you deliberately leave three points of strength. If anyone does this, it's looking for death!

Because of this, each piece of armor has a gap left by the struggle, desperately trying to survive. This needs to be repaired, and how many craftsmen are willing to follow them?

In fact, there are not many Mengshan thieves or something, only seven or eight hundred sets, and they are still the kind that are put together. As a soldier at the front, in the case of limited armor, it is naturally prioritized for equipment, and the latter can only rely on relationships. If the relationship is good, you can get some nail leaves, and you can barely protect the vital points by making do with it.

If it doesn't matter, then you can only wear a few more clothes, and as for the defense, you can only say that it is a matter of opinion.
