Chapter 911 The paper armor is extinguished, and the crossbow appears

The rain fell like a note, and the raindrops that were connected together were like whips, frantically pumping towards the earth.

The light of the lightning was still pale blue in the air, but the tail end near the ground turned pink. The lightning was still the same lightning, the difference was that there were only dark clouds and rain in the sky, and in addition to rain and mud on the ground, large areas of blood mist were rising.

The cavalry, wrapped in raindrops, ran quickly, and as soon as they bypassed the obstacle in front of the Qingzhou army, they were concentrated by a cold light flying from the side. The figure of the cavalry swayed, reaching for the wound in disbelief, trying to determine if the pain was real or hallucinating.

The hand touched the cold arrow shaft, the arrow shaft shook, and touched the wound again, and the ** pain and mental trauma hit him at the same time, crushing him. In the next leap of the war horse, the cavalry fell off the horse, and the war horse, which had no burden behind it, did not feel relieved and happy, but looked up to the sky and let out a sad roar.

The first thing the Western Liang cavalry army that quickly achieved a breakthrough was not the joy of victory, but was dazed by the sudden dĒŽ blow.

They did not understand why the enemy had made the crossbow machine in a wooden box. The biggest advantage of this mode of crossbow machine seems to be that it can prevent rain, but fighting in the rain is not a conventional method of warfare, and it takes so much effort to be used in the rain, which is inevitably too big and underused.

They are also not sure what the purpose of the Qingzhou Army is in doing this, could it be that they want to use this kind of small trick to defeat their own 80,000 cavalry army?

No matter what the mystery of the crossbow machine is, its lethality can only be reflected in the initial blow, and when the follow-up troops arrive, they will begin to attack the small step formation of the Qingzhou Army from the side. The crossbow machine is convenient to shoot, but it is very troublesome to load, especially the crossbow in the box in the hands of the Qingzhou army, which is definitely more complicated to load than an ordinary crossbow.

Of course, the most unbelievable thing for the generals of the Xiliang Army was that the paper armor was suddenly useless!

When he first got the paper armor, the generals of Xiliang were also very dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and when they heard this name, they were unreliable. How could something so fragile as paper be made into armor?

After the experiment, it was found that this paper armor is indeed extraordinary, the defense power of the bow and crossbow is close to the iron armor, although there are shortcomings such as fear of fire and durability, but for the Xiliang army with little equipment, it is already a dream baby.

It was with these tens of thousands of paper armors that Ma Chao turned defeat into victory in Zi County and defeated the famous Qingzhou general Xu Shu in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the paper armor to prevent the killing of the bow and crossbow, Ma Chao's temporarily assembled cavalry army would have suffered heavy casualties when it broke through the bow and crossbow formation in Qingzhou, and it would be difficult to please in front of the dense formation of the Yulin Army behind.

After experiencing that night battle, Ma Chao certainly became a god overnight in the Xiliang Army, and the paper armor was also regarded as a divine weapon, and even the damaged paper armor was carefully recovered and carefully kept. In the fierce battle like the attack and defense of Terrier Yang City, he was reluctant to use it.

It wasn't until this decisive battle with Wang Yu in Longshan that the Xiliang army did its best, took out all the inventory, and prepared to fight to the death. I thought that with the help of paper armor, the gap between the two sides in terms of equipment was shortened, but when it came time to actually engage in the battle, the paper armor was broken at the touch of a button, and the majesty in the battle of Zixian was completely lost.

"Hurry, move forward! Shake off these wacky crossbowmen! ā€

Yang Qiu's identity is different, of course, he is wearing iron armor, but the fact that the paper armor suddenly fails still makes him feel cold. Seeing the scene of the guards on the left and right being flanked and falling off their horses one after another, he completely lost his courage and blindly galloped his horse, wanting to escape this death zone first.

On the other hand, the idea of horse play was different, and he thought deeply than Yang Qiu.

The biggest weakness of the crossbowmen is the slow reloading speed, just now the crossbowmen on both sides of the side have launched a volley, and in a short time, there is no longer any threat. Instead of continuing to rush forward and accept the baptism of crossbow arrows from other small battle formations of the Qingzhou Army, it is better to simply defeat the enemy in front of you first.

"They have no arrows, come with me, kill them, kill them!" The horse roared, spun around the horse, and rushed towards the enemy formation twenty paces away. Seeing this, the guards on the left and right also turned their horses to keep up, and the others couldn't stop and could only continue to move forward.

Horses are very strong in equestrian play, and if ordinary people suddenly change direction in the middle of a wild run, even if the horse can turn a corner, people will be thrown out by a huge inertia. But Ma Yu and the dozens of guards around him easily completed this difficult action, made a perfect arc, and rushed towards the enemy formation.

Horse play has been calculated. The killing array set up by Qingzhou, the lethality is mainly borne by the vanguard army, and he now turns the spearhead, just to avoid the killing of the follow-up crossbowmen, and then he can also follow the front army and slaughter the Qingzhou army that has run out of crossbow arrows.

Of course, this is not without risk, but it is better than being shot as a live target by Qingzhou crossbowmen.

As for the danger of the flanking Qingzhou array, he didn't care much. The crossbowmen have no arrows, the shield soldiers can only defend, and the biggest threat is nothing more than the middle column of Changge soldiers, as long as you are careful to avoid Changge's stabbing and counterhook, there is no problem. This kind of technique is not a problem at all for him as a master of riding.

In a flash of lightning, a distance of more than a dozen steps flashed, and when he saw it, he rushed to the enemy formation.

Ma Yu stared at the eyes and stared at the several Changge players in front of him for a moment, ready to block or dodge. Because he was so focused, he didn't even notice that the crossbowmen in front of him didn't load their crossbow arrows nervously, but raised the arrow boxes in their hands with indifferent expressions and aimed them at Ma Yu and the guards behind him!

"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! Chang Ge waved, and the cold light broke through the air.

The crossbow arrows hidden under Changge's swing were already very hidden, and Ma Yu and the others didn't expect that the crossbowmen in Qingzhou had not been loaded at all, nor did they change the action of the crossbow machine, so they quickly launched a second salvo, and the result was that they were all shot squarely.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! "A mist of blood rose up, and the guards in paper armor were certainly defenseless, and even those in iron armor could not resist the close-range fire of crossbow arrows.

In an instant, the cavalry around Ma Play was swept away, and he was stunned to find that he was already alone, but he was facing Chang Ge, who stabbed from the top, middle and bottom, and the Qingzhou crossbowmen who still did not put down the crossbow machine and loaded the arrows!

"Bastard!" Ma Yu knew that he was finished, his eyes were red, he looked up to the sky and roared, letting the strong raindrops dĒŽ on his face, flowing down his cheeks, like unwilling tears.

His martial arts and riding skills are all excellent, and even if he doubles the number of Changge soldiers, he can save his life. But the crossbow in the box is a murder weapon that is completely beyond imagination, even if he has three heads and six arms, how can he block the shooting of dozens of crossbow machines?

Non-war crimes!

Before being shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow and swallowing his last breath in the muddy water, such a thought flashed through Ma To's mind. Before this war, who had ever heard that there was a crossbow machine that could be fired continuously? And this kind of crossbow machine happened to appear in a battle where the paper armor failed?

This is called Destiny, right?
