Chapter 504: Continuous
Liang Yong's pupils contracted.
When the countless sounds of breaking through the air sounded, he quickly understood what he was going to face next.
Is it a crossbow......
Only a crossbow can hurt the enemy hundreds of paces away, and only a crossbow is a flat shot, at this time he saw the dense 'star spots' in front of him shooting in his direction, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
How could it be a crossbow.
Before the attack, the Shenwei army had sent scouts, although they did not dare to approach the Shence army, but they had also watched from a distance of hundreds of zhang, and they were almost sure that the opponent's weapon was a bow, and ...... Prior to this, the Shence Army did indeed use bows and arrows.
The reason why the Shenwei Army made such a judgment is actually not a matter of scouts, because in the Tang Army, the crossbow is often synonymous with the heavy crossbow, and in general, it requires two to three people to work together to operate, although from a distance, the traces of the heavy crossbow can be seen to some extent, for example, the formation they fought in was by no means a separate column, but three or two people got together.
But...... A crossbow indeed.
And this kind of crossbow must not be bulky, otherwise the queue in front of it is only a thousand people, how can it shoot thousands of arrows, Liang Yong was puzzled, he had also seen crossbows when he was on duty in the Western Regions, and the general heavy crossbow can be used, but because it is bulky, it takes many people to launch. Light crossbows are not absent, but because of the high cost and the fact that the range is not far, most of them just make up for the lack of some heavy crossbows.
Since the opponent is using a light crossbow, why can the range still be hundreds of steps away?
At this time, in fact, it is too late to think about it.
Because the rain of arrows was approaching, and then, countless screams came, hundreds of people fell to the ground, and some people were even shot directly into hedgehogs, densely covered in blood.
Liang Yong was lucky to dodge a **** feather arrow. He tilted his head, and the arrow flew past his ear with a snort, but even so, the tip of his ear was still hot, and the man behind him was not so lucky, and after letting out an unwilling scream, he rolled off the horse.
Liang Yong's heart fluttered, even if he was bold, even if he was not afraid of death, even if he had already regarded death as home. But at this moment, he still had palpitations.
He noticed that the hand holding the sword began to tremble rarely.
This...... What kind of crossbow is it, and why is it so sharp.
He thought to himself, but because of this round of bow and crossbow shooting, the cavalry suddenly began to be messy, and many people even had the idea of retreating, and there were still four hundred steps, four hundred steps.
At this time, someone shouted angrily: "Loading a bow and crossbow is far more time-consuming than a bow and arrow, kill." Kill them, they don't have time to load their arrows. ”
After all...... There are still people who understand things.
Hearing such a roar, Liang Yong also calmed down.
However, although the crossbow is powerful, it is also good for the head. However, it was troublesome to load, far more time-consuming and laborious than a bow and arrow, and now it was only a few hundred steps away, and it was only a few hundred steps away from defeating. Rushing over, it is the world of war horses and war knives.
Avenge......
Liang Yong's eyes were red, and the war horse he urged. Send out a sprint.
Countless people, under his inspiration, also put away their fears and galloped wildly.
It's just that......
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Fang Jing looked at the slightly messy team in front of him but still charging forward, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
These people obviously don't understand that when they break into this distance, they are already in a dead position.
He is no longer in command, because the rest of the training will be carried out according to the drill.
The first column of crossbowmen withdrew, and the second column stepped forward, the crossbow arrows had already been loaded, and there was no need for any interval and gap between attacks, sneering...... Countless crossbow bolts flew out.
This is the three-stage strike tactics specially set up by the Shence Army for the repeater, in the process of their drill, some people found that although the shooting time of the repeater is not much, but there is still an interval, even if it is automatic reloading, minus a lot of steps, but this process, can still accommodate some time, so the Shence Army divided the crossbowmen into three columns, the first column to shoot, the second column to prepare to shoot, and the third column to fill the arrows.
In this way, the utility of the repeater is almost impeccable.
Whoosh ...... More than thousands of arrows were shot out like flying locusts, and the third column was already out of formation, and before the arrows of the second column had entered the enemy's formation, the arrows of the third column were also fired.
At this time, the original first column, the repeating crossbows, had been prepared, they took the place of the third column, raised the crossbows, the direction they were aiming at, it was already people on their backs, countless people fell like cutting wheat, two or three hundred paces of distance, in an instant, became an insurmountable chasm.
They pressed the bracket decisively, and immediately retreated into the formation, and behind them, the second column repeated the column.
No intervals, no intervals......
This is nothing less than a disaster for the Shenwei Army.
Because of the rain of locusts, round after round, without any gap, the first round was shot, and within a moment, the second round began to harvest life again, and while they were still in shock, the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of locusts had already fallen from heaven.
Liang Yong was stunned for a moment.
His brain was buzzing, as if he was paralyzed in an instant.
It is common sense that crossbows take a short time to reload arrows, so although the shooting distance is long and the power is huge, many times, it is not even as good as a bow and arrow.
And now...... All common sense was broken, and the power of the crossbow made the person who rushed to the front be shot, and then the person in front was shot into a hedgehog, fell off his horse, and was still struggling in the mud, when the cavalry behind was exposed to the crossbowman opposite them, and after a burst of flying locusts, another column of people fell.
There was not even the slightest respite, as if it was endless, never ending.
A feather arrow had already reached Liang Yong's waist and abdomen, and the next moment, it pierced into his body, and the feather arrow was still spinning at high speed in the abdomen, as if even his intestines were about to be twisted out, he was angry and unwilling to roar, but there was only one thought left in his mind: "Why, there is no interval......"
