Chapter 543: Bullet Crossbow

"Blade Array!"

After seeing Zhang Renjia, he raised the spear vertically with his right hand, and specially held the tail of the spear, so that the spear was as high as possible......

At the same time, the surrounding military formations changed rapidly, and the soldiers were extremely tacitly arranged into a formation that looked like an arrow!

The front two wings are infantry with wooden shields, and in the center of the head at the front, there is a group of plate cavalry, and behind the plate cavalry, there are teams of shield infantry, only behind the two wings of the "arrow", the part that is covered by layers of archers, is a phalanx of archers......

The plate cavalry of the Shu army looked a little "strange" and looked ...... More like a hoplite on a warhorse?

It's not that there is a problem with the plate armor that Chu sold them, but the war horses of the Shu army, the horse sources are mostly Dian horses and Shu horses, which are better at carrying and carrying weights, and their explosive power and speed are weaker, and they are also shorter.

Therefore, Zhang Yiyi has always used cavalry as the vanguard of infantry, unlike light cavalry, which can be guerrilla attacks outside the two flanks when the front arrow formation...... The same goes for the plate cavalry!

Zhang Ren's vanguard troops, also with nearly 10,000 people, were able to transform from a marching formation to a neat sharp arrow formation so quickly, without any messiness and haste, and it has to be said that it is very elite.

Of course, in fact, a large part of the factor is that Zhang Ren is very good at the front arrow array, and even in the "front arrow array", he already has the effect of "special combat skills", or in the words of Chu State, "combat skills against the army", similar to Huang Zhong's "fierce bow" and Sun Ce's "heroic posture".

Zhang Ren's "Sharp Arrow" can greatly enhance the effect of the Sharp Arrow Array!

The reason for this effect also starts with the nature of the Blade Array itself......

Don't look at such a big "arrow", but in the offensive formation, the front arrow formation attaches more importance to defense, especially Zhang Ren's sharp arrow!

Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun, all three of them are well-known, and they are all disciples of the spear god Tong Yuan...... Zhang Xiu forced himself to approach Tong Yuan, which was the way to burst out - as soon as the full version of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear came out, it directly made him a first-class military general goalkeeper.

Zhao Yun came out of another machine and comprehended the Seven Probe Snake Spear that was more suitable for him and was good at being strange and soft!

As for the senior brother Zhang Ren, he also failed to comprehend the most suitable marksmanship for himself like Zhao Yun, but his understanding of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun is different from Zhang Xiu's and Tong Yuan's original version.

Compared with outbursts, Zhang Ren is better at attacking and defending, and defending...... This is also reflected in Zhang Ren's art of war!

Unlike Yan Yan's good defense and not good attack, Zhang Ren is better at attacking, but in his attack, he embodies defense, which is not only his martial arts style, but also his command style.

Therefore, Zhang Ren likes the Sharp Arrow Formation very much, and has mastered dozens of Sharp Arrow Array formations, and there are more than a dozen of them that can be used skillfully and trained for the soldiers under his command!

Compared with the two junior brothers, Zhang Ren actually took a route similar to Zhao Yun - they all wanted to carry forward their own style on the basis of "a hundred birds and a phoenix".

However, Zhang Ren's qualifications are much worse than Zhao Yun's, not only in martial arts, but also in the art of war, he is only "better at the edge of the arrow array", but he has not really comprehended the combat skills of the army.

Even so, all over the world, Zhang Ren can be regarded as a master of military and martial arts, and he is even more at the top in Xichuan.

However, just when Zhang Ren thought that it was a battle of "lions fighting rabbits", and was ready to "do his best" to use the sharp arrow formation and level the enemy formation......

"Shoot!"

Hear only the sharp bang, resounding from the ravine where the enemy is entrenched.

The war horse at the front even had some "failures" because of this, and he didn't care about the situation of the war horse, and in an instant, Zhang Ren heard it, and the plate armored cavalry was ...... There was a crisp sound of being hit violently!

Moreover, Zhang Ren originally thought that the plate cavalry, which was enough to resist crossbow arrows at medium distance and short bows at close range, began to cry out in pain and fell to the ground, which caused a chain reaction.

As for the shieldmen on both flanks......

A mere wooden shield is not something that can block a real gas bullet crossbow bullet - even if the real gas bullet crossbow bullet at this time is not as good as the preliminarily perfect breech gun, if there is an explosion-proof shield, it can be resisted, but ...... If you want to block the bullet with a wooden plank, I'm afraid you have to make it to a size that no one can lift!

And at this time, the crossbow "bullet" was still made into the original projectile shape, not the pointed bullet of later generations.

In fact, the technology of the Chu State now supports the production of bullets, but ...... Although the projectile shape has an impact on the power and range of the bullet, it has the advantage that the "ricochet" is even more powerful!

Even if it is a pointed bullet, when it hits a hard object at a certain angle, especially in street fighting, the occurrence of "ricochet" is serious, that is, the bullet will bounce away, forming a catapult effect.

And a round projectile is undoubtedly easier to "ricochet".

Chu State no longer produces projectiles, but instead produces bullets, but the existing projectiles are enough for a while, and they are good enough for the enemy army - after all, except for the plate cavalry, ordinary soldiers have no decent protection, and they don't need extra penetration, but the effect of ricochet can increase the killing efficiency!

Although the True Qi Bullet Crossbow does not use gunpowder, the mechanical structure will also have a violent explosion when firing bullets.

After a round of volleys, Zhang Ren was still a little confused, but the battlefield instinct told him - don't stop, keep rushing!

"Scatter!"

But next, what Zhang Ren had to face was a round of scattering......

Although the power of the true air bullet crossbow has not yet reached the level of a breech gun, it has reached the level of a breech gun in terms of rate of fire, or reload efficiency.

Ji Zao soldiers, who are skilled in their skills, can even reach one bullet in three seconds, and those who are average in their skills and are only "qualified" can also reach one bullet in five seconds!

Compared to archery with a bow, the rate of fire is nearly three times that of it, and it is ...... If it is an archer, it is rare to open the bow to the limit of the rate of fire, otherwise it will not be six or seven times, and the arm will quickly lose strength, after all, only speed is not enough, and it needs to last.

However, with the True Qi Bullet Crossbow, you don't need to think about these at all, except for every twenty-two bullets, and you also change the True Qi Pump, as long as you are not disturbed, you can always maintain such a limit rate of fire, and you don't need to think about any physical exertion.

For them, it's just a reload over and over again......

Therefore, in the face of bows and arrows, or even in the face of breech guns, if you must charge, the most effective way is to "huddle" and rush together!

At least after some attrition, the rest can rush into white-knuckle combat - theoretically, in the era of breech guns, cold weapons are not defenseless, but they need to be sufficiently elite and high-pitched morale.

And if you are facing a breech gun, the "huddle" charge will only die faster......

Intensively put themselves under fire, not to mention the effect of "ricochet", no matter what elite it is, it is useless!
