Chapter 657: Discipline and Trust
Looking at the airtight shield wall at the head of the hot sand city wall.
At this moment, Lombal was really stunned.
Immediately, his whole face suddenly became solemn.
What the opposing garrison had just done.
It's simple to look at, and it's easy to say.
Isn't it just to let the soldiers who are maintaining the shield wall in front of them get out of the way while the crossbow of the city bed is firing?
But it's such a simple thing, but it's not easy to do at all!
Shooting a crossbow from behind a shield wall and firing a bow and arrows behind a shield wall are two different concepts.
Bed crossbow level large ordnance, the head is not as easy to control as a bow or hand crossbow.
This is not the first time this has been said.
Those big shieldmen in front and bed crossbows in the back firing?
In case a soldier who operates the bed crossbow of the city guards misses.
Or something malfunctioning with the bed crossbow that caused the attack to deviate.
The big shield soldier standing in front of him is a dead man with no place to be buried!
It's like when a cannon fires, you're standing in front of the muzzle.
As long as it is a person, it will be afraid and nervous.
What this garrison has just shown is discipline and trust!
This is a force with iron discipline and absolute trust between soldiers!
How can such a force be easy to deal with?
Lombard, who realized this, completely lost his initial casualness and calmness, and his whole expression became obviously serious.
"The bed crossbow continues to attack! The archer troops spread out left and right, retreated to the flanks, and carried out hanging cover! ”
A flurry of orders was issued quickly.
The troops sent by William Zhang to attack the city this time can undoubtedly be called a well-trained elite army.
The wreckage of the siege bed crossbow did not hold them back.
One by one, the soldiers of the elven clan began to manipulate the siege bed crossbows they were responsible for under the pressure that they might be taken away by the siege bed crossbow at any time.
On the other side, the elven archers, who had also received orders, retreated to the left and right flanks of an entire battle array.
Then, I saw them bend their bows and arrows one by one, and then quickly aimed the crosshair of the arrows at a height of nearly fifty degrees above their heads.
Immediately after, Lombal gave an order.
Elven archers fire their arrows at the same time.
A volley shot out at once.
An overwhelming rain of arrows almost fell from the sky.
Pressed against the walls of Hot Sand City!
When he learned the range of the elven archers on the opposite side.
Zhao Pan was obviously already guarding against this hand.
Because no matter what kind of archer, on the battlefield, there are basically only two ways to attack.
One is through-shooting, and the other is hanging shooting.
Piercing is equivalent to a straight line sniper, and the arrows shot are almost in a straight line.
It is an attack with the purpose of shooting an arrow to the enemy in front of you and piercing the enemy's body, and the accuracy and lethality of this attack are very impressive.
The hanging shot is an auxiliary means, and after the shot, it has a huge parabola and can fly farther.
But there is basically not much power left when the bow is fired, and the power depends on the inertia when falling, and the accuracy has also decreased, so it is generally used to suppress the enemy's military formation or cover it.
On the battlefield, in addition to these two attack modes of archers, it is difficult to have a third one.
Once you confirm this, you won't feel overwhelmed.
But even so, from a hanging shot from 400 meters away, Zhao Pan undoubtedly encountered it for the first time.
Neither their Terran archers nor the Orc Fox Archers had such exaggerated range.
In the previous siege battles, the only thing that could threaten the wall at that distance was the siege bed crossbow!
The range advantage of the elven archer on the opposite side was even greater than he expected.
If left unchecked.
They couldn't fight back, and the siege troops on the opposite side were able to advance with impunity.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Pan's calm voice sounded on the wall again.
"The No. 1 and No. 6 three-bow bed crossbows switched to scattered arrow mode, attacking the elven archer troops on the left and right flanks outside the city respectively, and the rest of the three-bow bed crossbows went all out to destroy the siege equipment on the opposite side!"
The ultra-long-range sling suppression of this elven archer is an unsolvable level offensive for most players in the same rank.
Just like Luo Ji's advantage of the three-bow bed crossbow at that time.
However, in the face of this range, the 'scattered arrows' that Ye Xuan had researched before were just able to counterattack!
The goblin soldiers wielding the three-bow bed crossbow moved quickly.
The shield-wielding soldiers around are responsible for keeping them safe.
A special 'loose arrow' was quickly installed.
During this period, the siege bed crossbows of the elven army outside the city were naturally not idle.
Directly towards the wall of Hot Sand City, the first round of salvo was launched!
However, the skills of the elven soldiers on the opposite side to manipulate the siege equipment were obviously not as skilled as the goblin soldiers.
At the same time, coupled with the psychological pressure that it may be blown up at any time.
The first volley that made them swear was finally dismal.
Although it was not missed, it all fell on the city wall.
But at this time Lombal was clearly not aiming for the city walls.
Hitting on the walls of Hot Sand City is not much different from beating the empty for him.
However, after all, he is a veteran of the battlefield.
Lombal was rather composed.
He knew that large ordnance such as the siege bed crossbow needed to slowly adjust the angle of attack through the landing point of each attack.
Within three volleys, you can destroy a crossbow on the opposite side, which is high accuracy.
The second round can blow up the target, which is the level of a marksman.
As for their siege bed crossbow, which was destroyed by the first round of fire from the opposite side, it was destroyed in one blow.
Even Zhao Pan and the goblin soldiers who fired that shot had to admit that it was a lot of luck.
Unless the target is a bit too big, such as a city wall, a city gate, a sentinel tower, etc.
Otherwise, if you want to fire in the first round, you will hit it with one hit, saying that there is no luck component in it, then there is a chance that ** is fake.
The offensive on both sides continues.
Compared to the elven army outside the city, which continued to shoot and suppress for a while.
The counterattack on the side of Hot Sand City is relatively thin.
But it's definitely strong enough!
Take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's siege bed crossbow to reopen the string and cross the crossbow.
The bed crossbow on the top of the hot sand wall fires again!
After a simple adjustment of the attack angle by the goblin soldiers, the hit rate has decisively improved significantly.
At that time, only another loud roar was heard.
There was no direct hit, and one of the heavy crossbow bolts that flew out should have only scratched the edge of the siege bed crossbow.
But the power of the tyranny was enough to wreak havoc on the siege bed crossbow.
At the same time, the special scattered arrows shot towards the left and right wings also opened with two 'bang, bang'.
The rain of arrows scattered in the sky like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers swept directly towards the formation of the elven archers below!
