Chapter 196: Battle 4

"Since you're here, let's eat it!" Zhao Xun said lightly.

If you fight head-on, the best way to deal with such an enemy is, of course, to use a weak brigade to face it and cover up your true strength, but unfortunately, Zhao Xun is now training soldiers, and secondly, it is also to delay time and prepare for the actions of the Nufeng Battalion and the Red Wolf Battalion in the south.

If he is also weak, there is no benefit in pushing those recruits who have no combat experience to the front line, except for sending them to their deaths in vain. Zhao Xun naturally would not send his recruits out to die as cannon fodder,

"Ready!" Zhao Xun glanced at Li Che, the captain of the crossbow machine battalion beside him, and said slowly.

With Zhao Xun's words, all the Huolin soldiers and soldiers were waiting for the arrival of the battle with awe-inspiring faces. The ballista battalion also began to prepare.

"Three hundred steps! Shoot! ”

"Tweet ......"

Dozens of crossbows have been launched!

Because the speed of the crossbow arrows shot is extremely fast, the sound of piercing the air is very harsh, like a short burst of thunder, as if a storm will come at any time, absolutely shocking. Today is a sunny day, the sky is very blue, the sun is warm, if it is not for the desperate decisive battle, in winter, in such weather, it is absolutely wonderful to be wonderful. Unfortunately, at such times, no one has the heart to look at the sun.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! ”

This sound resounded continuously on the battlefield. It's like a cotton seed that is constantly bursting. In fact, it is the sound of a powerful crossbow arrow constantly entering the human body, and the crossbow arrow is deeply penetrated into the human body. Tear muscles, crack bones, at the beginning. This sound is enough to make people tremble inside, but slowly, this sound gets used to it, because it never stops, and everyone who hears it has become numb.

The number of crossbow arrows is not very large, but the mechanical strength is far stronger than the strength of human arms, so every crossbow arrow fired will bring a large area of bloody rain and even take the lives of several people.

The soldiers of the Warrior Army who rushed to the front seemed to open the red dye shop in an instant, and countless pink liquids shrouded them in the hell of death. As long as a person is hit by an arrow, the people around him. It's going to turn dark red, and it's a splash of blood.

Whether they are wearing leather armor or the chain mail that they have seized from the state government, they are all a blank sheet of paper at this time, and they are extremely fragile. The only purpose of these armors is to increase the sound effect when the owner falls to the ground, and the ground will make a popping sound when the body falls heavily.

What's more, the bolts did not hit their bodies, but their heads. That would be even more terrifying. The skull is very hard. The bolts will pick up his skull directly, separating the skull from his neck. Eventually, it flew hard behind until it hit a new target. Usually this new target will be hit by the crazy skull, and in the end, it seems that two large watermelons collide, and they are all smashed to pieces, leaving only a blur of red and white.

Countless blood arrows burst out fiercely, wanting to draw a perfect parabola in the sky, leaving the master's last brilliant trace in the world, but unfortunately, this small wish could not be satisfied, so the team was too dense, and after the blood splashed out, the only result could only be to hit the people around them, dyeing their whole bodies dark red, as if they were constantly bleeding on their bodies.

The rich smell of blood enveloped the entire battlefield, and the dark red blood, under the illumination of the sun, looked extraordinarily bright and gorgeous. The weeds on the ground greedily absorbed the rich blood, trying to replenish the lack of nutrients, but in the end they unfortunately found that the blood condensed on the ground was more and more, more than they could absorb, and they were finally drowned alive in the viscous blood. The blood flowed slowly down the grass, and as it flowed through the bare areas, it would immediately become a blood-red color, as if the head of a leper had been broken, which was particularly shocking.

The lethality of the crossbow arrows is too great, many soldiers of the Evil Army were directly torn apart, the broken corpses were casually put on the bodies of their companions, broken limbs, flying at will, no one knew whose arm suddenly fell on their backs, or who was the internal organs flying in front of them, sometimes, suddenly an eyeball fell into the mouth, so subconsciously opened his mouth, and swallowed this eyeball, but he didn't know what he swallowed at all, licking his lips with endless aftertaste, but found that there was a faint smell of blood.

"Shield! Shield! Shield! ”

The officers of the vanguard of the Tartar Army shouted hysterically, ordering the soldiers to combine their shields more densely in order to block the opponent's bows and arrows and reduce their own casualties.

The shields in their hands could not resist the shots of these crossbow bolts, especially those wooden shields, which were completely covering their ears and stealing bells, and deceiving themselves. Each crossbow arrow shot over, either directly penetrating the wooden shield and chilling the soldiers of the Martial Army behind the wooden shield, or shattering the entire wooden shield, not only tearing the owner of the wooden shield behind, but also hurting the surrounding companions.

Even those thick iron shields, in front of those strong crossbow arrows, can only barely keep themselves, crossbow arrows shoot on the iron shield, the strong impact often makes the master's arm sore, the iron shield involuntarily falls, if the second crossbow arrow comes, it is definitely a fatal blow. Those arrows that were stopped by the iron shield either broke on the spot and scattered around, or they turned off the direction and shot into the body of the Yan army next to them, often accompanied by helpless screams, followed by someone struggling to the ground.

However, at such times, the shield became their only reliance, even if no one had confidence in their ability to protect, but it was always a comfort in their hearts to have such a shield in front of them. Perhaps, hiding behind the shield, you can't see the firelin's crossbow arrows fired. This is also a kind of psychological comfort! Many people are quietly glad that if they dodge one crossbow arrow, the rest of the crossbow arrows will never come at them again. It's just that. The continuous chirping, and the constant sound of arrows in the human body, gave them too much pressure. So that their progress involuntarily began to stop.

Fortunately, the biggest feature of these crossbows and Fuyuan crossbows is that they cannot be fired continuously, and after they are fired, it takes a long time to reload, otherwise, the Yan army will have all died on the way to attack. In fact, all the crossbow machines owned by the Huolin Army were only more than sixty crossbow machines, and each time they shot out crossbow arrows. At most, there are only about 100 pieces.

But it still caused a lot of casualties to the Yan army, at least more than 300 people fell on the way forward, and more importantly, these crossbow machines put pressure on the soul of the Yan army.

"Up! Above! Above! ”

The officers of the Warrior Army kept shouting, urging the soldiers to move forward quickly with their shields raised.

As the main attacking side, at the beginning. The price is always very heavy, this is the most primitive venture capital, the vast majority of the soldiers have been psychologically prepared, the battlefield, sacrifice is inevitable, but in the face of such sharp weapons, their psychological pressure can be imagined.

After experiencing the rage of crossbow arrows, the soldiers adjusted the speed of their advance at the urging of the officers. Noticeably quickens the pace of progress. Only by speeding up and directly engaging the opponent in close combat can you avoid the killing of crossbow arrows. Although the consequence of the Yan zhòng is that the gap between the shields is larger, giving the firelin army's crossbow arrows more chance to kill.

"Quick! Get on the arrow! Velocity! ”

Li Che of the crossbow machine battalion urged urgently, and took matters into his own hands to put arrows on the crossbow machine.

The lethality of the crossbow bolt is obvious to all, if you can get to the enemy before you reach you. Re-fire one or more crossbow bolts. It will undoubtedly greatly damage the enemy's morale and reduce the enemy's combat ability. However. This wish seems very simple, but it is not easy to do. The operation of crossbow arrows is very cumbersome, especially these large crossbow machines, which are the most primitive machinery, with many parts and components, and they are also very fragile. Everyone knows how to reload crossbows, but to minimize the time it takes to reload them, you have to go through tens of thousands of rigorous trainings.

However, the crossbow machine is not an ordinary thing, and the general government army is not equipped with it. These crossbow battalion soldiers were still selected from the remnants of the original Dragon Army, and even so, some of these soldiers did not have the skills to control the operation.

The soldiers on the opposite side of the Gang also apparently saw the shortcomings of the long interval between the crossbow machines, and they wanted to take advantage of this space, so they advanced faster and faster, and even no longer kept the queue tight and neat, but tried to shorten the distance to the open as much as possible. Although their officers tried their best to restore the integrity of the group, most of the soldiers chose to move forward quickly under the threat of crossbow arrows, and more gaps appeared in their shields.

"Hurry up! If you want to dodge the firelin's crossbow arrows, speed up now! ”

A hundred-strong officer of the Hundred Men of the Elite Army, who was mixed in the ranks, found that there was no way to maintain the orderliness of the ranks, so he simply agreed to the soldiers' request, waved his arms, and shouted loudly to order the soldiers to speed up. His actions revealed his identity and immediately brought him fatal consequences.

He heard a whoosh, and an iron-boned arrow flew head-on, hitting his gaping mouth. The arrow shot through his mouth, then through the back of his head, and nailed to the chest of the Arrowman behind him, as a result, the Hundred Men of the Arrowhead fell backwards involuntarily, overlapping with the Arrows in the back, and slowly fell, but no blood was seen gushing out.

Another officer of the Martial Arts Army not far from him was taken aback, and hurriedly beckoned and shouted, "Shield!" ”

"Bang!"

Another arrow broke through the air and hit the head of the officer of the Warrior Army, and the officer's head was like a big watermelon that had exploded, and all the red and white in it burst out, splashing on the surrounding Musket sergeant. Almost all of the soldiers couldn't help but choke, and hurriedly raised their shields to cover their bodies. They all thought that the arrow was from the crossbow machine on the opposite side, only the arrow arrow shot by the crossbow machine had such a powerful power, only a few people saw it, in the central queue of the Fire Lin Army, a young archer with an indifferent expression, surrounded by guards, slowly lowered the silver giant bow in his hand.

"That's amazing!"

Su Ziyan stared at Zhao Xun with a pair of beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but say.

This Zhao Xun's archery skills are simply unbelievable, such strength, such accuracy, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's simply sensational. I couldn't use the silver Jiao bow to pull it at all, so I could only pull a small half, even in the Shunzhou army, no one could pull the silver Jiao bow. But this Zhao Xun opened it easily, it is really the biggest in the world, and there are many strange people. What's more, he is still so young, he is really powerful, no wonder he can attract a group of talents and gather under his banner, he has this charm!

"Okay, good archery! I haven't seen you for nearly a year, but your strength has increased again, and besides, this bow and arrow is really a good bow! Where did you get it, this is a baby! Li Chenfeng, the general of the Zuofu Army, said with a smile.

Zhao inquired: "Uncle Li praised it, I can shoot so far, thanks to this silver Jiao longbow." As for this bow, it's not mine, it's borrowed, ...... On loan! ”

Su Ziyan glared at Zhao Xun and did not speak. What to borrow temporarily, send you you still don't want!
