The power of the Xiandeng crossbow can be proved by the thousands of white horses who once dominated the north, but were defeated by the 800 dead soldiers of the Xiandeng camp. Closer to all, even Lu Bu almost planted his heels in front of such a big killer at the beginning, hating Montenegro. Although there are still many limitations on the range, loading, and follow-up firing of this mass killing weapon, it is difficult to equip it in a large-scale battle, and it is only equipped with less than 800 units in the advance battalion of more than 1,000 people, but if it is used as a surprise weapon that changes the tide of battle at close range, it is enough to make people fearful.

Thanks to the extremely inconvenient communication in these years, although Liu Pan had vaguely heard of the name of Yuan Shao's first camp to ascend to the north before, he had never dealt with it head-on, let alone knew the information about this extremely hidden weapon. Therefore, when he suddenly found that the Jiangdong warship that was supposed to be an empty ship was actually in ambush, although he was shocked, it was far from the stage of fear, so he could still arrange a little calm to arrange the soldiers to set up arrows and shields, and retreat calmly, in order to reduce the number of casualties, and withdraw as soon as possible to make peace with Huang Zuhou's army, and then make another calculation.

"Want to go? It's so easy! "If it is an ordinary crossbow, Liu Pan's coping strategy is definitely quite timely and effective. It is enough to see that although Liu Pan is not famous in Liu Biaojun, he does have two brushes, at least he is quite brilliant for emergency response on the battlefield. It's a pity that due to the asymmetry of information, Liu Pan dispatched people to turn the rudder on the one hand, and concentrated all the soldiers on the deck to stand on the side and erect arrows and shields as thick as three inches, which was doomed to be in vain. The reason why the Xiandeng Jin crossbow is called a big killer is not only because of its short bolts and extremely fast rate of fire. It is impossible to guard against it, but what is more important is the penetration of its three-edged arrow, Qin Xu once ordered someone to do an experiment. Within thirty paces (45 meters), the improved and smoothly fired Xiandeng Crossbow can penetrate up to fifteen layers of leather armor and its momentum is undiminished. Even if it exceeds the effective range of 70 paces (105 meters), although the accuracy will be slightly off, its lethality is only reduced by about 30%, which is by no means comparable to the heavy blunt surface damage of ordinary crossbow arrows. After seeing Liu Pan's regular movements, an irrepressible smile welled up on his face.

"It's weird!" The two ships were actually quite close together. Liu Pan's fighting ship went down the river, and it was not easy to turn the bow of the ship. The lights on the ship were already able to illuminate the indifferent and murderous eyes of the soldiers on the ship where they were recruited. Liu Pan suddenly had a dangerous intuition in his heart. So calm! The other party is too calm! With Liu Pan's order. Because he hurriedly turned his head, he was either squeezing around on the deck with arrows and shields, or holding bows and arrows empty, waiting for Liu Pan's military order to wait for his own soldiers to fight back. It occupies too many positions on the deck, and it looks chaotic, but compared to the opposing ship, which has hardly deviated from the vital points of its own army. The cold rays of the crossbow arrows that were not fired became a stark contrast. What is the other party doing here?

"Let Uncle Zhao invite you thieves who start a war in vain. Try the Northland's specialties! Just when Liu Pan was surprised by the strange behavior of Zhao and the others, just when the idea of misestimating these obviously looked more like the threat of "landlubbers" in the north from many aspects such as height and armor rose. With just this thought, the opposite boat has already taken action to recruit all the soldiers.

As Gan Ning said before. The key to water warfare is suppression. How to use long-range weapons to kill and injure the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent is the essence that a qualified naval army general should carefully scrutinize. The so-called frontal battle is even like the collision of two ships when Gan Ning "captured" more than 100 soldiers who had boarded the battalion first. In fact, it is just like a land general, or it is an act of deterrence and showing off force against the enemy under absolute superiority. Either they will eventually run out of ammunition and have to fight so hard in exchange for a glimmer of life. In general. This kind of fatal play, in which self-damage is definitely more than 800 before injuring the enemy, is rarely seen in conventional warfare.

Therefore, it is long-range strike weapons such as bows and crossbows that can play a decisive role. This is why when Cao's army of 800,000 went south to Jiangdong in history, Zhou Yu dared to borrow only 50,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of arrows to ask for orders to fight.

It's really not okay to go to the camp first! This is an indisputable fact, but when it comes to the means of remote control on the battlefield, there are first-ascending crossbows in hand, and there are white horses with a history of righteous obedience. Not to mention Liu Pan and Huang Zu, even any of Liu Biaojun's soldiers, I'm afraid they are not among them.

"Buzz! ......" With a sound that was different from any kind of bow crossbow bed, a special crossbow arrow that left the string beckoned to the "first launch", like a signal, almost only half a breath of effort, five consecutive thousand crossbow arrows, like a pouring rain curtain in the dark night, splashed towards Liu Pan's ship.

"Hah! Brothers, it turns out that they are a bunch of landlubbers who have never fought in a water war! Don't be afraid! Archer, give a certain ......" Just when he noticed that the crossbow in his hand was being held in the same direction, and the standard direction was like facing the arrow shield being pushed by dozens of soldiers, Liu Pan's panicked face that was initially suppressed by the heavy burden finally calmed down, and was replaced by a bit of ridicule. Liu Pan's confidence comes from common sense. The river is not as good as the land, and the river wind at night is very strong, just like Liu Pan's boat, in the case of sails, going with the wind can save a lot of auxiliary forces, but if it turns the rudder back like just now, it is quite laborious. As the main means of long-range attack, ordinary arrows are also extremely affected by the direction of the river wind, and are even likely to affect the target's hit and lethality. Therefore, if it were not for a general who had been in a long-term water war, in such a situation, not to mention the situation of "parity" in terms of strength and combat power, it would be twice as much as the rain of arrows, and the hit rate would be small and pitiful, not to mention that it would cause substantial damage to Liu Pan's ship, which had already prepared more than ten arrows and shields. Therefore, after Liu Pan realized this "fact", almost at the same moment when he took the move, he decided to teach these Lu Bu generals who dared to be the roadblock stone for Liu Biao's march into Jiangdong who dared to refuse the "destiny of heaven", what is called water warfare. But it's a pity that the special crossbow bolts shot from the crossbow of Xiandeng Jin first surpassed Liu Pan's common sense in terms of speed. Before Liu Pan's words to motivate the army were finished, the word counterattack was still on his lips, and he saw a scene beyond common sense in Liu Pan's consciousness.

"General flash mob!" The strong wind on the river is still there, and Liu Pan Laizhi thinks that the arrow shield that saves his life is also there, but these two things can't stop the crossbow arrows that shoot out unusually, with the muffled sound of the crossbow arrows piercing the thick wooden boards, and then the soldiers of the self-army who were injured by the castrated crossbow arrows screamed with shock, it seems that until the strength is lost, it is unbelievable why he is hiding behind the thick arrow shield, and he will be injured! There were even more than a dozen soldiers holding bows and arrows in their hands, waiting for Liu Pan's military order to prepare a counterattack, but they were injured by arrows that pierced the body of the robe in front of them.

"How so? How so! Being pulled away by the soldiers close to him, he was able to dodge the arrow that was rubbed by his side, but the sharp wind that was different from the river wind still made the skin on Liu Pan's neck feel a piercing chill. Seeing that except for the auxiliary soldiers paddling in the bilge who were not attacked by the rain of arrows, whether it was the soldiers with shields or the archers with bows, except for more than a dozen extremely "lucky" ones who were not affected, they were almost killed or wounded. Even the soldiers who stood behind the people and were lucky enough to be blocked by the former blocked most of the strength of the crossbow arrows, or who did not hurt the vital points, because of the three-edged bloodletting groove on the crossbow arrows, saw a hissing of pain, and gradually lost their breath. This is completely different from the scene that Liu Pan had expected before, so much so that Liu Pan's face still maintained a mockery of the general countermeasures to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and now it seems that this look seems to have been left by Liu Pan to himself.

"General, it's impossible to do it, it's better to get out early!" Thanks to Liu Pan, he didn't know that there were only two bases of crossbow arrows standing with the first soldiers, that is, each crossbow was always ready to fire two rounds. And in the case of extremely difficult reloading, the next round will not be completed until ten breaths at the earliest. In fact, Liu Pan and the remnants of the soldiers have been left enough time to escape. But these secrets, Liu Pan's generals don't know about it! The soldiers beside Liu Pan saw that only one round of shooting had annihilated most of the living forces on the deck. However, the other party stopped shooting, but instead divided a part of the people into the bottom compartment and slowly slid the ship over, and said that the other party saw that the basic resistance force had been eliminated, and did not want to waste any more arrows, but wanted to come to the side to fight, and hurriedly urged Liu Pan to say.

"Nope! No way! They are only two hundred landlubbers! We still have 50 auxiliary soldiers who are familiar with the water, and there are more than 20 soldiers who can fight, and there is still a battle power on this big river! No way! You can't give up so easily! Although the soldiers around him did not explicitly say that they wanted to abandon the ship and leave, and the provincial soldiers made dumplings, Liu Pan subconsciously shook his head. No one will understand Liu Pan's grief and indignation after his "dream" was shattered, who wanted to perform well in front of Liu Mian this time. If you don't send an arrow like this, you will admit defeat in vain, which is too embarrassing. Not to mention that there is no way to make Liu Biao look at him differently, Huang Zu, who is just bent on putting himself to death, will never easily bypass himself after seeing that he has lost a boat. Liu Pan now looked at the Jiangdong warship that was getting closer and closer, and was about to collide, his eyes were red, and he roared almost madly.

"General! Cannot! The people around him wanted to persuade him again, but he was unexpectedly freed from the pressed arm by Liu Pan, stood up, and pulled out the horizontal knife with his backhand, looking like he was about to rush forward.

"General, I'm sorry! This kind of killing weapon can even shoot through arrows and shields, and it is definitely not something that we can block with flesh and blood! The last general doesn't want to die like this! Seeing that Liu Pan did not listen to the persuasion, he had already been overwhelmed by the power of the crossbow first, and the sailors who were lucky not to suffer this time glanced at each other, and one of them flashed with a hideous look on his face, and hit Liu Pan fiercely with the handle of the knife.
