Chapter 41: The Xuanwu Array

This is an attack from the last Archmage, Draedmund Traveler, a lightning archmage who learned a lightning spell with the dragon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the centaur was attacked by lightning, he did not dare to stop for a moment, so he could only continue to escape. After breaking through the lightning zone, the centaurs have three paths to follow, which lead to the south, west, and northwest. The vast majority of centaurs chose the main road to the south, and some centaurs chose the path to the west and northwest in a panic.

Ahead, you can see the plains outside, and the centaurs have a desire to survive, and they seem to have the strength to run towards their world.

Seeing that they were about to rush out, a group of minotaurs rushed out on both sides of the road, all of whom were carrying a huge shield with a concave and pointed shield, which could almost cover the entire body of the minotaur.

The minotaur sealed the road and slammed the shield to the ground, and the tip of the shield was inserted into the ground, firmly in front of the centaur.

The centaurs were stunned, they would never have thought that there was an ambush here, their first reaction was not to attack, but to flee backwards. The centaurs in front and behind collided again, and the centaur team stopped again.

While the centaurs were panicking, the minotaurs in the second row raised the huge shield in their hands, and the tip was concave at a few points of the first batch of minotaurs, and a simple fortress was formed. Behind the two huge shields were rows of archers, who, under the orders of the officers, drew their bows together and shot arrows.

"Open the bow!" "Elevation Angle Six!" "Shoot the arrows!"

A series of commands were shouted from the officer, and three rows of bows and arrows were fired in a volley. The most lethal shooting method of the bow and arrow is the salvo shot, the sky together with countless arrows to cover an area, the hit rate is much higher than the hit rate of the same arrow shot successively, especially when there are many people, the hit rate is even higher.

The centaurs were knocked down by a round of bows and arrows, and those centaurs who had not yet risen due to the collision and trampling were basically unable to get up after being hit by the arrows.

The centaur hurriedly fired back, but most of the arrows were bounced back by two rows of giant shields, all of which were made of metal, and the protection was super strong.

This is a way of playing the Xuanwu Array, the Xuanwu Array is a defensive counterattack battle array researched by Lu Zhongli, which only needs training to increase its powerful combat effectiveness.

The Xuanwu array was changed by Zhuge Liang's eight formations, when Zhuge Liang deduced the eight formations in order to deal with Cao Wei's cavalry, which was a meritorious achievement, and was still used after more than a thousand years, and many famous generals were achieved.

Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram is to use a partial box car and a crossbowman to restrain the cavalry, and the partial box car is a car with only one wooden plank, and eight vehicles form a array, so it is called an eight-array diagram. A group of eight carts, connected at the end, with thick planks against enemy spears and bows, protected crossbowmen and horses. And the crossbowman fought back on the car, the foot bow had a longer range than the horse bow, and the power was greater, so he was able to get out of Qishan and defeat Cao Wei many times.

After the Eight Arrays were handed down, there were people who used the Eight Arrays many times to defeat the nomads and became famous generals during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There is a record in history: "(Ma) Long made a partial van car according to the eight formations, the land was wide, the antler car camp, and the narrow road was applied to the car for the wooden house, and the battle was forward, the bow and arrow reached it, and fell down in response to the string." Conspiracy and surprise the enemy. Or the road is tired of magnets, the thief bears the iron armor, and he can't move forward, and the long pawn is known to be the rhino armor, and there is nothing to hinder, and the thief thinks that he is a god. Thousands of miles of battles, thousands of casualties. ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, the heavy cavalry is equivalent to the ancient light tank, and the eight array diagram is equivalent to the heavy tank in the ancient times. Heavy Tan beats light Tan, that is the same result as crushing.

But the Eight Formations are not without their drawbacks, he is much less effective against infantry and light cavalry, and has great requirements for the terrain. It's like the heavy tank has been blown off the tracks, and it feels like a mosquito.

Therefore, when Lu Zhongli studied the Xuanwu Array, it was improved, fortunately, he had a naturally powerful race like the Minotaur under his hand, and the big shield was a mobile armor, and then put these armors together, and it was difficult to cause damage to the race of the Minotaur in strength.

So there is only one remaining problem, Lu Zhongli deliberately researched a light and strong alloy from the metal spawned by the white tiger, made a shield, and then each shield was engraved with talismans to increase the shield's protection and magic resistance, especially the resistance to lightning spells, Thunder Cliff will naturally use thunder and lightning to attack the enemy will naturally avoid being attacked by the enemy with thunder and lightning.

After the shield is made, it begins to be mass-produced, and then it is constantly hoarded, which is a strategic reserve, and the more such high-end equipment, the better.

After that, there is training, in fact, the training of the Xuanwu Array is really not very difficult, it requires more strength and coordination. Strength is the strength of the Minotaur, and coordination is not too difficult for the Minotaur who is not very stupid, especially for those who have reached the elite level, and the control of themselves is very good.

In a few years, the Xuanwu Array can be successfully trained, and then it will be maintained. But it was such a simple formation that completely blocked the centaur.

When the centaur saw that the bow and arrow did not work, he began to attack the giant shield, and the centaur was indeed very fast and had a strong impact. But just as they rushed to the front of the Xuanwu Array, they found that countless spears stretched out from the gap in the giant shield, and the appearance of the spears turned the Xuanwu Array into hedgehogs.

The centaurs were tragic, and the high-speed charge caused them to crash into the spears in horror. Many centaurs tried to avoid the spear, but few succeeded, and they all crashed into the spear and wore the sugar gourd.

When the spear pierced several centaurs, it was useless. The centaur dodged the spear and slammed into the shield, but the shield did not move. The minotaur behind the shield abandoned his spear, drew his sword from his waist, and stabbed it through the gap in the shield.

The Minotaurs in the back began to retreat, giving way to the Minotaurs in front. "Retreat!" At the officer's command, the minotaurs with the shields immediately retreated together, making room for the centaurs' corpses not to pile up too high, in case the centaurs crossed the shield wall from the corpses.

Just a few steps back would require the centaur to fill the distance with a corpse. When Lu Zhongli designed the Xuanwu Array at that time, he had already thought out all the problems that he might encounter today, and those who didn't know might have to wait for time to test.

Lu Zhongli stood on the high ground not far away, watching the Xuanwu Array drag the centaur for half an hour, before Lu Zhongli ordered: "You can take the second step."
