Chapter 189: The Battle of Shuhe

"Raise your shield, raise your shield, raise your shield quickly!"

Not to mention that it is an ordinary Laoguo sailor, even Zheng Yulin was startled by the huge bow and crossbow on the Qianguo warship, and shouted to everyone behind him again and again.

In Zheng Yulin's shouting, a row of Laoguo sailors quickly came to the front, raised a bronze covered iron shield wrapped in a layer of iron sheets, and temporarily built a shield wall.

"Put!"

Xie Xuan's eyes were sharp and he looked at the Laoguo Navy in front of him, and there was no trace of emotion in his cold words.

Under Xie Xuan's order, the sailors of the Beifu Army, who had already undergone emergency training, skillfully and quickly loaded the giant arrows, and then pulled the bracket to fire.

At a distance of less than three hundred paces, one hundred and sixty giant arrows were like invincible divine weapons. With an unstoppable momentum, they swept towards the Lao army.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row only felt a strong wind howling in their ears, and then saw a huge arrow that directly penetrated the shield in front of him, connecting him with several comrades behind him.

Looking at the giant arrows passing through his body, the sword and shield soldiers were unbelievable until they died. The bow and arrow can shoot 120 steps, and this Qianjun giant crossbow can shoot 300 steps is reasonable, but the distance of 300 steps, after penetrating the bronze long card, and then penetrating the bodies of several people, this is too terrifying.

"General Zheng, the enemy's giant crossbow is too fierce, let's retreat first."

A junior colonel beside Zheng Yulin, after seeing a wave of arrows from the dry army, he broke their shield array and shot more than 100 of their soldiers, he was very frightened in his heart, and hurriedly spoke to Zheng Yulin.

"No way!"

Zheng Yulin's eyes were firm, and he waved his hand categorically: "If we retreat at this time, the dry army and warships will inevitably take advantage of the weakness. At that time, they will be able to use those giant crossbows to cover the warship method, so that the small ships can advance quickly and completely disrupt our formation, so that our sailors will be left to their slaughter. Their schemes must not be allowed to succeed. On our order, all warships were to lift anchor and attack the warships of the Qianjun. ”

When the little colonel heard this, he was immediately shocked and said, "General Zheng, don't! The giant crossbows of the cadres were really powerful, and in just one wave, hundreds of our brothers were wounded, more than 40 people were killed, and two red horse boats were completely destroyed by the other side. If we rush forward with a rain of arrows right now, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky! ”

"Noise!"

Zheng Yulin said disappreciably: "The art of war is cloudy, put it to death and then come to life, the most dangerous place is often the safest place." As long as our warships rush into the formation of the dry army, they will mingle with the other side. Then when the cadres have scruples, their giant crossbows will directly become useless. ”

After that, Zheng Yulin immediately ordered all the warships to move forward at full speed after anchoring, and rushed towards the Qianjun's ship formation, preparing to jump to fight with the Qianjun's warships.

However, as one of the top naval commanders in the history of Shenzhou, how could Xie Xuan not see Zheng Yulin's thoughts. As soon as the Laojun warship just approached, the Qianjun's eight-company strong crossbow was launched again, but it was no longer to hit the soldiers on the deck of the Laojun Naval Division, but to shoot at the warship, especially the three buildings on the top of the Laojun Naval Division, which became the main target of the eight-company strong crossbow attack, and the huge arrows roared and flew towards the building boat, hitting one after another. The Laoguo Navy warship was beaten, sawdust flew sideways, and there were countless holes.

"! Or is our warship too small and not enough in area. If you replace this thing with a trebuchet or gunpowder or a slapstick in the mouth of the Inhumans, they will be wiped out! ”

After this wave of strong crossbows fired by the Eighth Company of the Cadre Army, which directly sank three red horse boats and one Mengchong fighting ship of the Laoguo Naval Division, Tang Zhi, who was watching the Laoguo sailors desperately repair the holes shot by the strong crossbow and trying to rescue the warship, was full of red light and excitement at this time. It's just that in the words, there seems to be some dissatisfaction with this.

In his opinion, the installation of the eight-repeater crossbow on his own warship, although the performance in battle is good, but when used in water warfare, the power is still slightly insufficient. After all, when it comes to attacking building facilities, the damage of trebuchets is indeed far higher than that of the eight-strong crossbow. After all, trebuchets have a much larger range. However, the accuracy of the trebuchet was not considered by Tang Zhi.

Therefore, Tang Zhi's own complaint is purely ambitious. In fact, with the rain of arrows in the eight-in-a-row crossbow, the effect power is already quite exceptional in the battle that can be presented by the current version of technology. And this is also because the officers and men of the Beifu Army are not skilled enough in the technique of controlling the eight-company strong crossbow, so that they shoot a lot of misses.

However, with the development of the battle, the accuracy of the strong crossbow of the eighth company of the cadre army is getting higher and higher, and even several huge arrows hit a building ship at the same time, and the distance is not far away, the result is that the entire building ship is seriously leaking, and the Laoguo Navy Division has made every effort to remedy it to no avail, and finally sinks.

Under the precise attack of the Qianjun warship, the handsome boat that Zheng Yulin was riding was also violently attacked, and there were more than ten holes densely packed on the hull.

However, this wave of fierce offensive of the Beifu army also directly stunned the Lao army, so that many people directly disobeyed Zheng Yulin's order and fled directly by boat. Even the little school next to Zheng Yulin was so frightened that his legs and stomach were weak, and he begged Zheng Yulin to retreat quickly. He felt that now, any giant arrow of the Qianguo Navy Division could be the last straw that crushed the redundant handsome ship.

What's more, at this time, Xie Xuan had already seen through Zheng Yulin's intentions, and when the Laojun warship rushed up, he had already ordered the sailor to row back in the opposite direction. Since most of the warships of the Qianjun Naval Division were above the rank of the Laojun Naval Division, under the crushing of performance, no matter how far the Laos rushed forward, the fleet of the Beifu Army always maintained a distance of 200 to 500 steps from them, leaving enough space for the Eighth Company to shoot crossbows. Even if a small number of Laoguo ships that had been jointly improved by players and senior craftsmen rushed to the front of the cadre army, they were destroyed by the eight strong crossbows of the cadre army, and they were destroyed by the fire of the first priority.

And under the crushing of the battle situation on this side, Zheng Yulin, the commander of the Lao army, saw that the situation was not good, and secretly thought that if he insisted on his own opinion, it was likely that all the warships of the Lao State would be buried in the hands of the cadres, and he quickly ordered a retreat.

But at this moment, the Lao army wants to withdraw easily, how can it be so easy. Under Xie Xuan's tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and I advanced, the Laoguo naval army was beaten by the Beifu army and had no ability to resist. Watching his own warships continue to sink, Zheng Yulin's eyes were about to split, but there was nothing he could do.
