The archers seemed to have anticipated this, with some attacking the five men in the first row, while the rest attacked the cadets who followed behind. It seems that from the beginning it was not intended to give them a chance, and was ready to wipe them all out in the shortest possible time.

Of these five people, four of them are standing in front for the first time, and it is also a big challenge for them to face each other's attacks directly.

At this time, Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong's hearts were full of excitement, they were also following behind like everyone else, and it was difficult to feel the pressure they were under when facing a direct attack, which made them feel that they had nowhere to go. Now there is finally no one in front of them, and they can play their technical and tactical level to the fullest.

Qi Guang looked ahead with a calm face, and followed him according to Wang Tong's explanation. He has the best relationship with Wang Tong, and he is also the person who knows his strength best. All along, he has regarded Wang Tong as his target, and has tried to catch up with him, hoping not to be left too far behind by Wang Tong.

Although these five people cannot be said to be the strongest in the first class of the second year of the command department, the combination of five people should not be underestimated. Wang Tong may not be as good as Liu Yu in terms of personal combat ability, but he is much higher than Liu Yu in terms of command. The reason why he led the team first this time was to consider exercising his reaction ability in the fierce battlefield, so that he could better understand how to fight in the next game through actual combat, and on the other hand, it was also to allow Liu Yu to gain more on-the-spot command experience.

The two of them didn't expect to succeed this time, and in the future, the students would take turns to command, so that everyone could get the opportunity to exercise, and only then would their entire class become stronger.

The phalanx was moving forward steadily, and although there were still students who were shot from time to time, it was obviously much better than the previous two times. At the very least, the formation is very stable, the formation is well maintained, there is no chaos, and the five people in the front row have not yet fallen.

Wei Zifu, who was standing on the city wall and watching the battle, was still very satisfied with their performance, after all, they had only trained twice, and it was already very good that they could do this. First of all, they are no longer as afraid of crossbow arrows as they were at the beginning, and secondly, they all dare to make movements, and they can effectively block and dodge in the face of crossbow arrows that shoot past, and their movements no longer seem stiff and restrained.

Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong were too excited, and from time to time they surpassed Wang Tong, who was at the forefront. And whenever they approached, the crossbow arrows on the city wall would launch more ferocious attacks on Qi Guang and Zhang Bo on the other side, trying to tear apart their formation. So much so that in the end, Liu Yu had to strictly prohibit it, otherwise the two of them would be replaced.

Zhang Bo on the other side is called a big fire! You love to be showy and Lao Tzu can't control it, but as soon as you go ahead, all the crossbow arrows over there will greet Lao Tzu and defeat Lao Tzu, do you think you have a good time? I don't know how to cooperate at all, and if you want to be a hero, don't drag others down!

After being reprimanded by Liu Yu several times in succession, Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong also realized that their rash advance would have an adverse impact on the progress of the entire phalanx, so they could only focus on the overall situation, press the passion in their hearts, and move forward according to the overall rhythm.

The instability caused by Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong has just been solved here, and there are new changes on the city wall over there. In the boundless rain of arrows, a stone with a diameter of about thirty centimeters roared towards the top of Wang Tong's head, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen large and small stones behind this stone.

"No, it's even a catapult!" Wang Tong's sad and indignant mood is incomprehensible, "I don't want people to live! I really don't know what will appear again in the future!"

But now is not the time to think about this, seeing that the stone is about to fall, Wang Tong has no choice but to dodge the past first. He wasn't sure he could block this blow with his tower shield, so it was better to be safe.

Liu Yu also hurriedly issued an order in the back, according to the trajectory of the falling stones, first dodge this round of attacks, and at the same time pay attention to defending against the attacks of crossbow arrows.

The landing points of these dozen stones are scattered and cover the entire phalanx, so the attacks are not too dense, and it is still easy to dodge. The students nervously watched the stones falling from the sky, observed its route, and carefully made evasive actions.

Wang Tong saw that the stone was about to fall on his head, so he hurriedly took a step forward and dodged the attack of the stone. The stone fell on the ground behind Wang Tong with a "boom", smashing the ground into a deep pit. At the same time, the tower shield in his hand still tightly protected his whole body. A crackling sound sounded, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows hit the tower shield at the same time, and the impact force generated by the crossbow arrows hitting the tower shield suddenly made Wang Tong feel that his entire arm had been numb by shock.

Without bothering to move his numb arm, Wang Tong quickly adjusted his pace and prepared for the next round of attacks.

With the sound of a thump, more than a dozen stones fell in front of the students, and the dust on the ground was flying, instantly enveloping the students in the smoke. Several "oops" sounded one after another, and several of the students who had just dodged the stone attack were shot to the ground because their vision was blocked by smoke and dust, or they were patronizing the dodge stones and did not see the crossbow arrows that came from them.

In order to avoid falling rocks, the original neat formation was also disrupted, and before the students could find their positions again, another round of falling rocks had already roared.

After that, every half minute, a round of falling rocks fell into the phalanx formed by the students. The stones mixed in the rain of arrows made it more difficult for the students to dodge, and if they were not careful, they would be hit by crossbow arrows while dodging the stones. The continuous falling rocks completely disrupted the rhythm of the trainees, and they could no longer maintain a complete battle formation.

Liu Yu was also very anxious in the back, he didn't expect Instructor Wei to come to such a show, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while. can only keep reminding everyone to pay attention to dodge and take precautions.

Wang Tong was even more passive when he walked in the front, with a stone and ten crossbow arrows chasing him all the time, not giving him a chance to breathe. The combination of falling stones and crossbow arrows is also just right, basically the stones and crossbow arrows are attacking Wang Tong at the same time, and when dodging stones, he can only use the tower shield to catch the attack of crossbow arrows.

The stones came from above, which made Wang Tong have to keep an eye on the movement above his head. And the crossbow arrows were fired from the front, which made him unable to ignore the front when he looked up. If you don't notice it, you can put him in ruin.

After several dangerous dodges, Wang Tong discovered some of them. When the offensive formation is dense, the lethality of catapults is huge. In that case, it's hard to dodge. And their current formation is relatively scattered, and the catapult plays more of a suppressive role. Because the trajectory of the stone is parabolic, the route is long, and there is plenty of time to predict where it will fall.

It's just that you still have to be able to judge the landing point of the stone as soon as possible to dodge, otherwise it will be much more difficult to dodge when the crossbow arrow blocks the way forward.

The ten bolts were divided into three ways, three for the head, four for the torso, and three for the legs. Not only are the positions of the attacks varied, but there are also times of time, and it is difficult to find a pattern.

Once, in the process of dodging the stones, Wang Tong raised the tower shield in his hand a little low, revealing a small half of his helmet, and a crossbow arrow shot over, and hit his helmet with a "dang" sound, but fortunately, the top of the helmet was thick enough and did not cause him much damage. After this time, Wang Tong didn't dare to be careless, and tried his best to cover his whole body with a tower shield.

Three of the five people in the front row have fallen, Zhang Bo was shot in the thigh by a crossbow arrow while dodging falling rocks, he fell to the ground unsteadily on his feet, and then was shot by several arrows on his body, and he couldn't get up at all. Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong were even more fierce, they directly raised the tower shield and the falling stones to a hard touch, and in the loud bang, the stones were blocked, but their arms couldn't be raised. Without the shield of the tower, they were easily named by the archers. Now only Qi Guang can still follow Wang Tong's side and fight side by side with him.

The students behind couldn't make up for it for a while, and the alternate attacks of falling rocks and crossbow arrows had consumed all their energy, and the formation could not remain intact, and it was undoubtedly even more difficult to take a step forward.

Encountering this unexpected attack, Liu Yu and Wang's colleague arranged completely disrupted the first, and they could not organize an effective defense at all. In the end, the trainees were knocked down one by one, and this drill ended in failure again.

After another failure, the mood of the trainees is very low, is it really not possible for us? If we can't even complete this training task, how can we go to the battlefield to fight hard in the future?

Seeing such a situation, Liu Yu knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and the morale of the students could not be beaten down, without morale, even if you had good skills, you would not be able to give full play, and the more serious ones would sink down, and eventually lead to nothing.

Liu Yu and Wang Tong approached Instructor Wei and asked Instructor Wei to give them a week to adjust. During this week, they will no longer carry out the previous siege drills, but focus on the training of the students' individual skills and tactics and overall cooperation, and at the same time, the two of them will also do the ideological work of the students, eliminate the negative emotions in their hearts, and mobilize the positive surnames of the students. Only in this way can we better conduct tactical drills.

Wei Zifu readily agreed to their request, just telling them that the training in the future will be more brutal, so that they can be mentally prepared that only by surviving them can they become a real warrior.

The next day, the students of the second grade of the command department were notified that they would have a day off today and continue their training tomorrow. After several days of intense fighting, the students were physically and mentally exhausted and needed time to rest. The news undoubtedly made them feel much better, and many people simply fell asleep with their heads covered.

Liu Yu didn't care about them, he had to study the next training plan with Wang Tong. Wei Zifu didn't tell them what to do, everything had to be done on their own.

The day passed quickly, and the two men not only drew up a more detailed training plan, but also mobilized the trainees, pointing out the progress they had made in each siege drill, and letting them understand that their efforts were not in vain, and that they had achieved results. Temporary losses don't mean anything, and they can only grow faster by experiencing more such failures. Only by experiencing more tempering in brutal training can we play a greater role in future wars.

When they stood on the training ground again the next day, after a day of rest and adjustment, the trainees had a new mental outlook, and they were all holding their heads high and ready for the next training. (To be continued.) )
