333, the debut of the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry II
Under high-speed flight, and at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the range is as far as four or five miles, and even a marksman can hardly guarantee to hit the target.
But it doesn't matter, the weight of the arrows has decreased, so that each Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry carries more arrows, and the Scorpion-tailed Tiger has five quivers on each side, each of which can place thirty sharp arrows, and the number of arrows is so large that all archers are outrageous.
The task of the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is to try to pour the sharp arrows in the quiver into the enemy's formation on the premise of avoiding the enemy's attack.
Even if ten sharp arrows can kill an enemy, one Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry can easily kill thirty targets, and two thousand Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is sixty thousand.
When the arrows are fired, even if there are remnants of the enemy, they will definitely not be able to resist the hand-to-hand attack of the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry!
Ma Wu's scalp was numb as he watched hundreds of sharp arrows attack the military formation, even if he didn't count the strength of the steel bow, just the sharp arrows smashed at such a height could easily penetrate the iron armor of the soldiers and penetrate the body of the generals!
What's even more terrifying is that these scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry, the speed of archery is too terrifying, there is no need to rest at all, two thousand scorpion tail winged tiger air cavalry, the arrow rain offensive that bloomed, is even denser than tens of thousands of archers!
The sound of the bow and arrow shaft breaking sounded, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword soldiers died under the first wave of arrow rain attack of the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Sky Cavalry.
Ma Wu's heart instantly dripped blood, these are the real elites, the brave among the people of Brazil County, on the frontal battlefield, they are all soldiers who can fight a hundred battles with one enemy and three, if you want to kill a hundred sword soldiers, it is difficult to do it without paying three times the price.
Now, these most elite and brave warriors, unable to even see the faces of the enemy clearly, died without resistance under the sharp arrows of the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry!
"Hide in place!
The sound of drums was loud, and the flag was waved, and Ma Wu's order was quickly issued.
Originally, Ma Wu planned to wait for the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry to get a little closer, or to drop in height, before firing the bed crossbow.
It's a pity that the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is circling over the army and shooting arrows like this, and there is no need to get close to the sword army at all.
Ma Wuming knew that at such a distance, it would be extremely difficult to shoot the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, but there was no way, he couldn't watch the other party shoot his soldiers and horses away!
The military technology of Dashu is definitely the first in the Three Kingdoms, after all, there is Zhuge Liang, a great inventor, Zhuge Lianba, and the wooden ox and flowing horse are developed by Zhuge Liang himself.
Among the Shu army, there are even more terrifying and giant large weapons, but in the Nanhua Mountains, it is already the limit to transport these small and medium-sized bed crossbows, and the more powerful God Butcher Giant Crossbows, Qilin Sky Trains, etc., Bagua God Artillery, etc., cannot be transported into the Nanhua Mountains.
The attack range of a small bed crossbow can reach five or six miles, but this requires a straight shot or a condescending shot, and the height of the upward fire can barely reach a distance of four miles, not to mention the accuracy.
Because of flying in the mountains, the air is thin, and the limit altitude of the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is about 1,500 meters, which is equivalent to the height of three miles.
It's just that this is the vertical height, and the bed crossbow shoots at an angle, and the distance is much longer, and it can barely shoot the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry.
In any case, the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry is not small, even at an altitude of two thousand meters, it looks quite the size of an eagle falcon, and for the long-trained Shu army bed crossbowmen, it is still very likely to hit the target.
Staying in the Chinese army of Ma Wu, there are two white-headed wooden oxen and flowing horses, and there are bed crossbows or fire dragon cannons on their backs, plus the bed crossbow parts transported by the wrestlers and oxen carriages in the army, etc., the Chinese army of Ma Wu, there are more than 300 bed crossbows alone, and this time a counterattack was launched, and hundreds of giant arrows roared up with a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and the power was quite terrifying.
Except for the bed crossbowmen who attacked, the rest of the sword soldiers hid in the early digging holes, or behind the piled up rocks, to protect against the sharp arrows of the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry.
The power of the steel bow, coupled with the three-edged arrow, as well as the condescending gravity factor, makes the arrow penetration of the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry extremely amazing, that is, the double-layered iron-covered ironwood giant shield, which is difficult to resist the shooting of arrows.
Hundreds of powerful bed crossbows launched an attack, although the range was only three miles, but this range was an effective range, not that the giant arrows would be powerless to fall when they reached a distance of three miles.
These giant arrows are not much of a threat to the Qianyuan Guard, who wears steel armor and has cultivated the triple golden bell jar, but the scorpion tail winged tiger under the seat, the scorpion tiger battle armor on his body only protects the chest, abdomen and neck and other vital points, and it is difficult to protect the whole body.
You can't win 'em all.
The Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry can take advantage of the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger to attack the enemy from a high position.
Similarly, once the scorpion tiger is injured and falls, the strength of such a high fall, coupled with the heavy steel armor equipment on his body, not to mention the third- and fourth-grade martial arts martial arts sect, even if it is a fifth-grade martial arts sect, I am afraid that he will have to fall to pieces and die on the spot!
This wave of attacks by the Sword Army still made the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry very afraid.
Because the bed crossbow was extremely dense, it was fired towards the dense place of the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry, and in an instant, two Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry were shot at the demon beasts under the seat, and their bodies were crooked, and even the humans and beasts fell down.
Fortunately, although the scorpion-tailed tiger was injured, it could barely maintain its balance, and although the descent speed was rapid, it did not fall directly after all, if you were lucky, even humans and beasts could save their lives, but if you want to join the battle again, I'm afraid there is no possibility.
Chu He frowned, and the ebony whistle in his mouth made a clear sound, and he issued his orders with a whistle.
With the strength of the Chu River, it is not impossible to spread a deep shout throughout the whole army, but in order to keep it secret, all military orders are still issued through special sounds or flags.
As the whistle sounded, the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry quickly changed its formation, and the two thousand Scorpion Tail Winged Tigers quickly dispersed, not giving the Sword Army a chance to concentrate on attacking, and adopted the tactics of wolf packs to destroy the enemy in motion.
Although the power of the bed crossbow is strong, but two fatal weaknesses can not be avoided, the first is the low rate of fire, the second is the difficulty of steering, as long as the scorpion tail wing tiger continues to maintain a fast flight state, constantly changing the flight path, it can greatly reduce the threat of the bed crossbow.
Of course, even if the bed crossbow is not easy to turn, but there are two thousand scorpion tail winged tigers circling in the air, and they can always quickly find the target to shoot.
In addition, as Chu He's order was issued, dozens of fifth-grade elite scorpion-tailed tigers quickly flew out from behind Chu He, and the mounts on them were all four-rank peak powerhouses.
These powerful and faster elite scorpion-tailed tigers are not simple archers, each scorpion tiger claws are holding two huge skin sacs, and there are also more than a dozen slightly smaller skin sacs hanging on both sides.
Needless to say, this is naturally a special branch of the army responsible for destroying the enemy's air defense, the fire oil troops!
Dozens of five-grade scorpion tail winged tigers roared out, and hundreds of fierce fire oil filled with fierce fire oil weighing more than 15,000 catties were suddenly thrown towards the Ma Wu Zhong Army, and in the blink of an eye, the small half of the sword army formation was covered by the fierce fire oil, especially those wooden oxen flowing horses and bed crossbow battle formations.
After dropping the fierce fire oil, the cavalry on it, without hesitation, ignited the rocket and roared downward.
Chu He studied smelting in the university for four years, of course, it will also involve coal and gasoline, these fierce fire oils are all refined products, the power is far beyond the practical fire oil of ordinary troops, dozens of rockets down, instantly ignited in the formation of the sword army!
Ma Wu found out that something was wrong when the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry threw their skins, but unfortunately he couldn't stop this wave of Chu He's offensive at all.
They can use the bed crossbow to deal with the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry, Chu He didn't think of this, and the fire oil soldiers are specially prepared for this.
Although it was spring and summer, the mountains were very humid and the forests were green, but the burning of the fierce fire oil was not affected in the slightest.
Under the blowing of the mountain wind, the moist water vapor even decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen under the action of the flames, making the fire more violent, and some shrubs and ferns and grass quickly ignited, and the formation of half of the sword army had turned into a sea of fire.
Under such a terrifying fire, no matter how brave the sword army was, they couldn't keep their composure, and they all screamed and ran out of the pit and rocks, and the entire Chinese army fell into chaos in an instant.
Although Ma Wu quickly ordered the soldiers and horses to cover the fire with earthen bags and other equipment, and to transfer all kinds of ordnance, it was a pity that most of the crossbows were still burned by the flames.
Although the sparse bed crossbow arrows can still pose a certain threat to the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry, they can no longer resist the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry from the military formation.
Seeing the sword-fighting soldiers that turned into fireballs below, the Qianyuan Guard did not show the slightest softness, but was murderous, and the rain of arrows became more and more dense.
You must know that the previous wave of bed crossbow attacks of the Sword Army, which shot and killed more than a dozen comrades and mounts, is definitely a heavy loss for the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, which only has two thousand numbers.
The money and silver spent by Chu He on a scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry are enough to train three hidden abyss guards, thirty ordinary soldiers, and even hundreds of sword soldiers!
Now that more than a dozen horses have been lost, even if all these thousands of sword soldiers are killed, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in the hearts of the Scorpion Tail Tiger Sky Cavalry!
War is not a fairy tale, exercises are not actual combat, and although the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is powerful, it is the first time that it really fights with the enemy's army, and it somewhat exposes some shortcomings that could not be discovered before.
Chu He didn't think that he could win without being injured alone, but the casualties of more than a dozen scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry still made Chu He's face gloomy.
Watching the four or five hundred flying cavalry of the Rank Knife Army soar into the air, intending to make a final counterattack, Chu He snorted coldly, his feet slightly clamped the winged tiger, and the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd pointed at him, with dozens of personal guards, and suddenly killed these flying cavalry of the Rank Knife Army!
For any type of troops, flying cavalry is incomparably precious, and normally speaking, it is impossible for the Rank Blade Army to have so many flying cavalry, which are obviously specially mobilized to deal with the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry.
As long as all these flying cavalry are killed, within a period of time, the Shu army will definitely become blind and blind, and it will be difficult to detect the situation in Nanhua Mountain and spy on the movements of the Changding army!
Chu He personally killed, the morale of the scorpion tail wing tiger air cavalry suddenly skyrocketed, the blood became more and more intense, many cavalry with more skilled riding skills have lowered their height, and the sharp arrows are aimed at those sword soldiers who are still operating the bed crossbow, and implement point killing tactics!
Two thousand meters away, the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry could hardly hit the target, but when it descended to a height of one thousand meters, all the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry turned into sharpshooters.
This is also the most basic requirement to become a scorpion tail tiger air cavalry, shoot the target within two miles, no arrow is allowed to miss the target when shooting at a standstill, when flying at high speed, eight arrows must hit the target with ten arrows!
The terrifying accuracy and high-speed shooting made the Scorpiontail Tiger Air Cavalry a deadly reaper.
In the blink of an eye, there were no living soldiers next to the remaining dozens of bed crossbows of the Rank Sword Army, even if Ma Wu tried his best to drive the soldiers to step forward and manipulate the bed crossbows to counterattack, he was powerless to return to the sky.
As more Scorpiontail Tiger Sky Cavalry lowered their altitude, even if Ma Wu regained control of the bed crossbow, it was unlikely that anything would be done.
Ma Wu originally thought that with the battle formation composed of wooden oxen and flowing horses, a battle line composed of more than 200 crossbows and a large number of fire dragon cannons, he could hold back the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry for an hour, and even thought that he could repel the Chu River.
Unexpectedly, a fire completely burned all his delusions, and in just two or three quarters of an hour, the 8,000 elite sword army was completely destroyed by the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry, and they fled in panic, unable to gather at all.
Although, the next time he fights with the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, he may be better prepared, at least there will be more ways to resist the arrow rain attack and fierce fire oil offensive of the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, but now there is no way to think about it.
The flying cavalry of the sword army that rose into the air, facing the incomparably fierce scorpion tail wing tiger cavalry, was not a united enemy at all, even if it was a few of the most elite, the mounts and warriors were all super flying cavalry of the five-grade realm, and they were easily killed by Chu He with one shot.
Ma Wu's face was ashen, and after sending out the messenger, he ordered someone to ring the golden gong, and then drew out his portable sword to kill himself, and after being stopped by the guards, he no longer insisted, and quickly fled and left under the protection of the guards.
Chu He had already paid attention to the situation of Ma Wu's banner, where would Ma Wu escape, if he took Ma Wu, he would definitely be able to know more detailed arrangements for the Shu army, and immediately harnessed the scorpion-tailed winged tiger and chased after dozens of guards.
Separated from the protection of the army, with only three or several hundred personal guards with him, Ma Wu certainly could not escape the pursuit of the Chu River.
This short but tragic battle was soon over.
Of course, the word tragic is for the sword army. More than 5,000 of the 8,000-rank sword soldiers were shot and burned to death, more than 400 flying cavalry were almost killed or wounded, and Ma Wu, the main general, was also captured alive by Chu He.
The remaining one or two thousand remnants fled into the mountains and ravines, all frightened by the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry, and it was almost impossible to gather the opponent's Changding army again.
