The crossbow, a veritable Chinese weapon and a murder weapon in the world, is the most terrifying long-range weapon in Chinese history. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network www23hh.cc}Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows have obvious advantages: longer range, greater lethality, simple operation, and high accuracy.
A crossbow consists of three parts: a bow, a crossbow arm, and a crossbow machine. The bow is mounted horizontally at the front of the crossbow arm, and the crossbow machine is mounted at the rear end of the crossbow arm. The crossbow arm is used to support the bow and string, and is supported by the user; The crossbow machine is used for pulling strings and firing. There are not too many restrictions on the use of crossbows, no matter how strong the crossbow is, as long as the crossbow machine is gently pulled, it can be fired, which is the so-called four-two-dial jack. Western scholars believe that the crossbow machine of the Warring States period in China can be compared with the rifle gun in modern times, and is one of the outstanding achievements of ancient human engineering technology.
In fact, in the long era of cold weapons, there were only two kinds of strong troops that China could use: crossbowmen and Mongolian iron cavalry!
In the Spring and Autumn period, the Chinese army began to be equipped with crossbows, which were often used as suppressive weapons in the late Spring and Autumn period, and were used to describe the strength of the army in Sun Tzu's Art of War. "Those who are good at fighting are dangerous, and their knots are short. The momentum is like an expanding crossbow, and the knots are like a start. "The status of the crossbow can be seen in general.
Later, when the production and use of crossbows spread to Europe, it caused quite a stir. In the European countries where knights are respected, the appearance of crossbows is very embarrassing for them. Any peasant can easily kill a "noble" knight who has been trained since childhood with a simple drill with a crossbow, for which the crossbow was once banned.
Song Zhong's face turned pale when he saw the soldiers of Fengxiang Town take out their crossbows.
"Quick, all charge!" Song Zhong's voice trembled a little. Originally, the slow approach of the Yellow Turban Army was to rely on the numerical advantage to create pressure on the enemy, but Song Zhong never expected that these soldiers in Fengxiang Town were actually equipped with a pair of crossbows, which was too despicable! If you don't charge, you will only be shot all over the body. Not only the 1,000 forwards in front, but also the 1,200 Yellow Turban Army in the back were all thrown into battle, and they ran happily with their arms flailed!
In the face of Fengxiang Town's crossbow arrows, Song Zhong chose to charge, not because of the general's bravery. The crossbowmen in Fengxiang Town welcomed the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army very much, so that they could stand in place and shoot wildly at the back of the head. Now the two armies are only a hundred steps apart, and there is still a glimmer of life to rush forward, and they only need to survive this hundred steps!
But this hundred steps are obviously not so easy, under the rain of arrows in Fengxiang Town, every step forward will pay a corresponding human life.
Juyi's request for a "three-stage shooting" was carried out to the letter. The so-called three-stage shooting means: the first row of shooting, the second row is on standby, and the third row is loaded with arrows, and when the first row finishes shooting, it immediately retreats to the third row, and the cycle repeats to maintain continuous firepower and damage.
More than 2,200 Yellow Turban soldiers, although 1,500 of them have changed into the standard equipment of regular soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but in the face of crossbow arrows with amazing penetration, these equipment have almost no effect, and even the phenomenon of one arrow piercing two people, and the screams and wails outside Fengxiang Town are endless. Less than 30 steps away, more than 300 yellow scarves were shot to the ground.
The front of the Yellow Turban is still 70 steps away from the troops in Fengxiang Town, and the Yellow Turban, which has no long-range weapons, can only rush forward, hoping to break through a bloody road by relying on the tactics of the sea of people. The 1,200 people in the rear of the Yellow Turban should not be about 20 steps away from the Yellow Turban in front, and now the soldiers under Ju Yi have not had time to take care of them. 120VS2200, the huge gap in numbers is there, and it is understandable that some people are not taken care of.
Ah Niu watched silently, even if he knew that this was just a game, the blood on the battlefield still made Ah Niu feel like vomiting, and people who had not experienced it could not know the taste. The war in the era of cold weapons was so cruel, and a certain kind of Cheng dù was completely about exchanging flesh and blood for victory.
"The lord doesn't need to be sad, it's like this in troubled times, stop fighting for martial arts, and sometimes kill people to avoid more people from being killed." Chen Gong saw the painful expression on Ah Niu's face—in fact, because he wanted to vomit, and comforted this kind lord.
For such a major event as the Yellow Turban attack on the town, except for Pang Tong, who is still teaching people in the academy in Fengxiang Town, everyone else is paying attention to the progress of the battle situation in the town. In addition to Chen Gong and Li Qi, the transferred generals of Fengxiang Town, Zhao Xue and others were also on the scene.
"Killing people is to prevent more people from being killed......" Ah Niu whispered, the discomfort in his stomach gradually faded, and the expression on his face eased a lot. Seeing this, Chen Gong was relieved, and said:
"Lord, I'm afraid Ju Yi needs help. The advance team of the Yellow Turbans was now less than fifty paces away from our army, and there were about 500 people left, and at this rate, considering that the crossbowmen were not suitable for shooting at close range, there were at least 200 Yellow Turbans when Ju Yi's troops began to engage in combat. ”
"Well, the yellow scarf of the front team, I believe Ju Yi can handle it. The actions of the 1,200 people in the back need to be contained, otherwise Ju Yi may suffer. "Ah Niu's head was restored to its normal state, and it was quickly judged that the shape that appeared in it.
Although he saw some problems, but for such a "barbaric" thing as leading troops to fight, Ah Niu still frankly thought that he did not have enough ability. "The public station is directly directed, and I will watch you perform here." Ah Niu's face didn't blush when he said this.
Chen Gong smiled, although this lord is not proficient, but at least there is one benefit: use people without suspicion, know how to use people well. Chen Gong did not shirk and began to give orders.
"Li Erxia, Liu Sanxia, the martial artists in your hands are divided into two teams and go straight to the Yellow Turban team. Li Erxia led a team to kill from the front left to the rear right; Liu Sanxia's first team killed from the front right to the rear left. After penetrating the enemy's formation, you can return the same way, and do not fight in the middle, just fight forward. In this way, the Yellow Turban team will be chaotic! ”
Li Qi and Liu Xing had already waited for their palms to itch, and Chen Gong was loyal to Ah Niu, and these two also had a good impression of Chen Gong. The moment is happy to go.
"Gao Shun, you set off with the follow-up of the 'trapped camp', just wait for the two heroes Li and Liu to disrupt the enemy formation, and immediately intercept and kill the yellow turbans head-on, and you must not let the yellow scarves of the rear team approach Juyi."
"Gao Shun takes the order!" Finally, without having to stare at it dryly, Gao Shun was ecstatic.
"Lu Han and Di Yun, the two of you will take all the generals to support Ju Yi, clear the Yellow Turban of the front team in the shortest possible time, and then work together to deal with the Yellow Turban rear team."
Lu Han and Di Yun are the two most outstanding generals trained by Fengxiang Town, and Chen Gong is familiar with the characteristics and abilities of these two. In fact, even if the generals were not dispatched to help Ju Yi, the fate of the front team's yellow scarves would not change, but in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and quickly work together to deal with the enemies behind, Chen Gong still sent them out.
Now Lu Han and Di Yun are like bumping into ** color, and it is finally the turn of a group of junior generals in Fengxiang Town to perform! The generals who have always been depressed and have a little inferiority complex because they have not been reused, they can't stop immediately like drinking caustic soda water.
Before going into battle, these "garbage generals" did not forget to give Chen Gong a seductive look...... Thank you! Chen Gong was shocked with a cold war.
****************************
When Fengxiang Town had invested almost all of its forces under the sun, the battle could have ended early. This "all-out performance" is really a bit suspicious of killing chickens with knives, in fact, although there are many people in these yellow scarves, they are far from needing to invest so much strength.
However, what Ah Niu wants is this effect, "missiles to fight mosquitoes, and chickens to kill with knives", with the strong posture of a lion fighting a rabbit, showing the determination and strength of Fengxiang Town's self-defense! After this battle, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely think about it for a few more minutes before coming to Fengxiang Town to fight the autumn wind.
