Chapter 116: Advance Tactics
"The general Huns are good at archery, I think we should avoid the edge for the time being, and when they get closer, let's use my method that day to fight back" Looking at the menacing Huns, Zhao Yun said to Bai Qi a little worriedly.
But Bai Qi didn't care about it, "It's okay, I'm going to compete with them today, whose archery skills are more exquisite"
"This" was when Zhao Yun was full of ambition and didn't know what to do, but he saw Bai Qi raise his right hand high, and then shouted out two words that he didn't know why.
"Nirvana" Along with Bai Qi's words, all the soldiers who were still like statues moved at the same time.
Although it is said that all the Nirvana heavy cavalry have stepped off their horses, they are still wearing the usual heavy armor, and the soldiers wearing the tiger-faced head-swallowing chain armor grabbed the two iron rings on the tiger's face on their chests.
With a "click", it turned out that the tiger face on the chest of all the soldiers was not locked, and under the force of the soldiers, the tiger face on the chest was pulled out by an inch of distance.
Then all the soldiers pushed the tiger face to the right, and a piece of tiger face covering the entire chest was taken down, Zhao Yun took a closer look at the tiger head on the chest of the Nirvana heavy cavalry, it was a very special shield, why is it special, I saw that this shield was not all sealed.
The tiger's eyes are hollowed out and protected by a wire net, so that you can not only observe the situation from behind the shield, but also avoid being hit.
Another point is that there is a complete hollow at the tiger's mouth, and there is a card slot in the shield, I think it is this card slot, and this shield is fixed on the armor.
After seeing the soldiers remove a shield from their armor, Zhao Yun especially wanted to know its usefulness, so he hurriedly wanted to ask Bai Qi, but was stopped by Bai Qi's gesture, and it turned out that the soldiers' actions were not over.
I saw that after the soldier took off the shield, he raised his left arm at the same time, and it turned out that there was a groove in the pattern of the armor of the left arm that matched the tiger's face.
Just listen to the "click" tiger shield was firmly fixed on the soldier's arm, and then all the soldiers took out, Bai Qi ordered them to carry the iron crossbow, after the crossbow machine was put on the left arm, after all this was done, all the soldiers shouted in unison the word "cover".
"Zilong?" Bai Qi looked at the stunned Zhao Yun, chuckled lightly and explained to him, "Actually, this left arm with a shield, and yesterday's double-sword charge, are the cavalry tactics of the Nirvana heavy cavalry, that day I also saw that the Huns have superb archery skills, and although your method avoided casualties, it was sad to cause a large number of casualties, so in the past few days, I have come up with this method."
"What about this crossbow"
Being asked by Zhao Yun, Bai Qi's face showed a smug expression, "If you want to say that this crossbow is still a craftsman I tried my best to find, with the Qin crossbow as the prototype, although the size has not changed much, but the range has been greatly improved, oh, by the way" Bai Qi slapped his braincase "His biggest feature is that he can shoot ten arrow feathers in a row"
"Ten, ten" Zhao Yun looked incredulous, you must know that the crossbow in his cognition can only shoot three arrow feathers at most, and the power is far less than that of the bow and arrow, and sometimes it can't even shoot through the armor of the soldiers, which is why most of the Han army uses bows and arrows.
"Wait to see the show" Bai Qi looked bloodthirsty, looking at the Hun troops approaching step by step.
With a roar, the Hun troops, who had entered the firing range, began to shoot arrows at the city in the clouds, but there was no one in the city, just like when they attacked the city before, seeing that there was no special situation, the Huns did not suspect him, and began to continue to advance, and also shot one arrow after another, the purpose was to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
Although the shooting distance of the crossbow arrows has become farther, it cannot be compared with the strong attack of the Huns, all the soldiers in the city are waiting, and finally after the Huns have advanced another fifty meters, the Nirvana heavy cavalry on the city wall has begun to move.
I saw them stand up at the same time, blocking in front of them with their left hand fixed with a shield, observing the situation of the Hun troops under the city from the tiger's eye with their eyes, holding the crossbow arrow machine in their right hand, and the arrow stretched out from the tiger's mouth, aiming at the Hun troops under the city.
How could such a big action not make a sound, after saying that all the Hun soldiers under the city were all paying attention to the situation in the city, so they found out at the first time when the Nirvana heavy cavalry launched its operation.
But what made them strange was that it was not the Han army defending the city that suddenly poked their heads out, but the beast faces with a metallic luster, but they couldn't control this, no matter what was in the city, they had to avenge three days ago.
So one by one, the Hun soldiers shot arrows more hard at the city, but after the arrows came into contact with the beast face, in addition to the sound of "ding, ding" metal collision, it did not cause any substantial damage to the Han army in the city, and at this time, the Han army in the city also began a strong counterattack.
"Whoosh" saw that from the mouth of the beast's face, shot out one after another than ordinary arrow feathers, a little shorter and feathered arrows, this is also a problem that Bai Qi has not solved, without feather arrows will shoot out of the distance will become shorter, and if you add it, you can't shoot continuously, so that the shooting frequency will become longer.
It can be said that the sudden behavior of the Han army in the city caught the Hun troops by surprise, and the arrows in the sky flew directly into the unguarded Hun army array, and in an instant, a large number of soldiers fell in the front row of the Hun troops.
But I don't know what happened to the Huns today, in the case of frustration in opening the door, although they still stubbornly moved forward, the only way to prevent it is to use all kinds of things to protect their vital points, but after all, it is not a standard shield, and there will be a large gap between each soldier, so this method of prevention, the effect is still minimal.
In addition, the density of arrows shot by Bai Qi's subordinate troops is extremely high, and the frequency of arrows is also very fast, almost less than five seconds to complete a salvo.
So the casualties of the Huns are more and more, if it weren't for the order to cut the retreat from above, I believe that there are already soldiers retreating, after all, retreating and being killed is a deserter, and advancing and dying in battle is a hero, anyway, it is a death, it is better to choose a better one.
Finally, the Huns experienced the feeling of being suppressed in archery for the first time, and all the arrows they shot were blocked by the shields of the people, but the arrows shot by others were all blocked by the people in front.
However, this feeling of being suppressed lasted less than a minute, and the rain of arrows on the city stopped, and the vanguard of the Hun attack had already approached the city wall.
"Shoot him, yes, shoot him" Zhao Yun looked at the Huns under the city, who couldn't raise their heads after being shot, it can be said that they were extremely relieved, their own soldiers have been suppressed in the past few days, and they will almost be killed by the arrows flying from the city.
Finally seeing such a scene, how could he not be excited, but just as Zhao Yun was looking at it, all the soldiers in the city stopped.
"General Bai, what's going on, keep shooting, this method is very effective" Zhao Yun looked at Bai Qi strangely.
How do you know that Bai Qi touched his head embarrassedly, and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, this time is a bit tight, after studying these, the soldiers will be taken to the battlefield by me, this crossbow arrow loading problem is still a problem to be solved"
"Ah, what do you mean" Obviously, Bai Qi's words were too modern, and Zhao Yun didn't understand, so he still had a questioning expression.
It was at this time that Liu Bei, who was standing beside Bai Qi, began to mend the knife, only to hear him say with a slight joke, "That is to say, these crossbow arrows are disposable, and they will be scrapped when they are used up."
"Ahem" Bai coughed dryly, and hurriedly pointed to the Hun troops under the city, "Look at the Hun troops under the city are about to attack the city, let's prepare well."
Although the topic was shifted, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun still looked at each other, and the meaning was like this, and the two of them understood it at once, but they didn't mention it.
