Chapter 412: Short-handed Combat

It's not that the longbowmen can't attack at close range, it's just that their formation is not suitable for flat shooting, and there are also two squads of the Royal Knight and the Guard Knight in front of them to help defend, and they all abandoned the longbow in their hands for a while, and instead pulled out the short blade on their side, ready for melee combat.

Torches had already been lit in the camp, and these shiny short knives were made of fine iron, carefully polished by the blacksmiths, and the blood grooves on the blades rotated along the hilts, compressing the attracted fire into a small area. As an epic class, they are not afraid of melee combat, and those strong soldiers who thought they would be victorious by rushing in front of them have basically died under these short knives.

Moreover, before them, there were royal knights and guards, and even some camp fortifications, and it was impossible for the other party to break through without paying a little price.

"Order, abandon the halberd, and group a strong crossbow raid on the spot!" Meng Budo, the leading sect soldier, had a low voice. These tactical actions have actually penetrated into the physical instinct of every Wei Wushu, almost at the moment when Meng Budo rolled forward, all Wei Wushu threw aside the spear or halberd that was still in his hand on the spot, one Wei Wushu set up a defense with a rhino-faced oar, and the other took out the strong crossbow on his back, put the crossbow on the defensive oar, and carried out a round of cleaning strafing in the direction of Meng Budo's attack.

These strong crossbows carried by Wei Wushu are by no means light, otherwise they do not need to be mounted on the shield oars to attack stably, so the strength of the attack is by no means comparable to some light short crossbows, the sound of breaking the wind brought by the crossbow tore the surrounding air, and the attack method of the longbow hand falling from the sky is different, the direction of the strong crossbow attack is close to flat shooting, the sound of "cluster" "cluster" and "cluster" is endless, the attack speed of these crossbows is also extremely fast, fifty short crossbows are launched in a very short time.

Only a series of grunting screams were heard, and the royal knights and guard knights who were waiting to defend in the front row suffered a bloody blow in an instant, especially the royal knights, these units with horses were also more attacked, and several war horses were thrown off the knights in pain.

The rest of the people did not dare to hold it up any longer, and immediately hid behind the fortifications that had been erected a long time ago, and the poor several longbowmen in the back row, caught off guard in the dark, were actually shot down by these crossbows like cutting wheat, which made Pakrit, the leader of the longbowmen, feel painful!

Good swimmers drown, these longbowmen may have good melee ability, but they are definitely short in long-range defense.

This round of powerful attacks also completely suppressed the sporadic long-range attacks in the British camp.

In Wei Wushu's attack tactics, the crossbow bolt itself was only an auxiliary means, in order to clear the last obstacle in the way of the charge, and create the fastest and safest way to quickly approach the enemy.

After firing the crossbow machine in his hand, Wei Wushu immediately put away the halberd that had just been abandoned, and started the second round of charging according to a specific formation, while Wei Wushu, who was still holding the oar, took over the crossbow machine above, and continuously suppressed the crossbow arrows in his hand at a slower speed, and the cooperation between the two was obviously very tacit, and the direction of the crossbow arrow attack completely avoided his own people who were charging.

As far as breaking the formation is concerned, the advantage of long weapons is self-evident, and a large number of long halberds crossed the fortifications and forcibly attacked them at the first time. In just such an instant, the camp that seemed to be watertight just now was immediately torn open in a frenzy, and several Wei Wushu had already jumped up, the three-layer heavy armor did not hinder them in the slightest, and the royal knights and guards who had just found the defensive terrain suddenly found that they could see Wei Wushu's red face through the fire in the camp.

"Order, the enemy formation has been broken, and the whole army will attack!" Meng Budo, who was guarding the rear, ordered again, and Wei Wushu, who had finished the crossbow attack in the back row, immediately threw the crossbow machine aside, picked up a rhino-faced oar with his hand, and held the long sword drawn from his waist in his right hand, and carried out the second round of charges in silence.

Almost all of them were orderly two-stage strikes, and the strength of Wei Wushu, as an epic class, was undoubtedly revealed.

There are also strong and weak points between epic-level arms, just like the same Tsinghua scholar, there are also strong people with full scores in the test and perverted strong people with only full marks in the test papers. From this point of view, Wei Wushu, who has experienced a hundred battles and is close to omnipotence, is obviously the pinnacle of the epic level, and the longbowmen, without the blessing of the national fortune, I am afraid that they are the middle stage of the epic class, and they are indeed invincible in terms of pure attack, but the weaknesses in the comprehensive ability are also correspondingly obvious.

In terms of status, these longbowmen of the British forces are also the last of the strong crossbows. The harassment for three consecutive days had a huge impact on their state, both the attack speed and attack power were far from usual, judging from the performance on the spot, it was barely standing on the threshold of the epic troops, otherwise, the first "rain of death" would never have achieved only a little result.

The problem is that these Wei Wushu of Zhao Gao are also Xibei goods. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, they are all selected from the strong men, and they have an epic identity after the special bonus of the "Quwo" territory, which cannot be compared with the genuine Wei Wushu personally trained by Wu Qi, and the genuine goods led by other people in the Wei State are also far from the genuine goods; In terms of equipment, it is even inferior, whether it is the three-layer heavy armor or the long halberd in the hand, it is made by the Wei soldiers using simple materials, and the quality problem is very serious; The rhino-faced oars are almost all made of wood, and their defensive power cannot be compared with the original at all, otherwise how could Wei Wushu, the epic peak of the defensive formation, fall easily under the attack of a weak longbow?

There are also those strong crossbows and crossbow arrows, the skills of the Wei craftsmen in the original version are very superb, the strong crossbow body is light and powerful, and the crossbow arrows are also polished with fine iron, not to mention the improvised fortifications of the British army, even ordinary buildings can be directly penetrated, and the range is much farther - in other words, really let the Hexi Wei warriors led by Wu Qi play, just two rounds of crossbow raids, the units that can stand in front of you will never exceed one-third of the current one!

As for the "sword" in his hand, most of the Wei warriors were holding nothing more than a heavy polished iron sheet, and the attack power and the original open-edged long sword were the products of the two worlds.

Therefore, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, these Wei Wushu of Xibei are barely standing at the gate of the epic level.

However, just like rotten eggs are eggs, even if the weak longbowmen and the Wei warriors of Xibei are in a weak state, the battle between them is by no means easily comparable to other troops, and the short-handed encounters after entering the battle are even more bloody and tragic.

Two epic monsters, in the dim firelight, in the silent wilderness around them, launched a hand-to-hand combat to the death.
