The second round of shooting was a comprehensive coverage, with crossbow arrows falling from the sky taking care of everyone, and the sound of "clanging" was endless, which was a consideration of the tactical skills of the trainees. Crossbow arrows come from different directions and in different ways, and the methods of defense are different.

Generally, there are two shooting methods for crossbow arrows, one is projectile and the other is flat shooting. The effective attack range of the projectile is farther than that of the flat shot, and the hit rate of the flat shot is higher than that of the projectile.

When fighting on the battlefield, the archers use different shooting methods depending on the distance and number of people the enemy attacks. When the enemy is far away or in a dense formation, the archer will use the method of projectile. When the distance is close or the enemy's attack formation is scattered, the archer will use flat fire.

These archers trained the cadets were extremely skilled in archery, and their crossbow arrows landed in very tricky places, always breaking through the defenses of the cadets' tower shields from unexpected angles and attacking the joints of their bodies.

Although there are no clusters of arrows, the shafts made of fine and rigid arrows cannot be easily resisted. If you hit a shot in the joint, you're ready to leave today's workout.

Each student tried their best to raise the tower shield to protect their whole body, but the angle at which the crossbow bolt fell was not the only one, they needed to constantly adjust the direction of the tower shield and control the speed of progress.

In this round of shooting, ten cadets could no longer train because they did not have a defense in place. They protected their upper bodies with tower shields, but they ignored the defense of their lower limbs, and were shot in the knee, falling directly to the ground, unable to stand up again.

The shooting of crossbow arrows is getting faster and faster, and the methods are constantly changing, alternating between flat and projectile fire, and sometimes the two methods are used together, which makes it more difficult for the students to deal with it. Often if you can take care of the top, you can't take care of the bottom, prevent the left side, and miss the right side, and there are constantly students who are shot and fall.

The number of students is constantly decreasing, and with every step forward, someone falls, and the pressure on the remaining ones is even greater. Liu Yu's heart was very anxious, he could persist in going to the city, but it was useless for him to get there alone! After all, as the class leader, he had to consider the improvement of the level of the entire class of students, not just the improvement of his personal ability.

Thinking too much in his heart, the movements under his feet will inevitably be deformed, and in a trance, he didn't realize that a crossbow arrow had quietly attacked him. There was a sudden sharp pain in the knee of his right leg, and Liu Yu immediately knew that it was going to be bad. Sure enough, his right leg weakened, and he staggered forward, and the tower shield in his left hand was slightly raised, and a crossbow arrow grazed the tower shield and shot him in the elbow. The left hand was no longer able to hold the tower shield, and with a "clang", the tower shield fell heavily to the ground, and then more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot at Liu Yu from different directions.

Four bolts were fired at the arms, four at the legs, two at the left and right chests, one straight into the lower abdomen, and one towards the face. Barely twist your body, deflect your head, and contract your arms. Avoided the crossbow arrows that were fired at the face, arms, left chest, and left leg, but were not able to dodge them all. He was hit with an arrow in his right chest, waist, and right leg, and half of his body was numb with pain. Unable to support himself any longer, he fell to one knee on the ground.

As soon as Liu Yu fell here, the door suddenly opened, and several students who followed him suddenly lost their barriers and were shot to the ground.

After Liu Yu fell, no student could fill his position, and Wang Tong next to him became the key target of the archers. The archers are all old fritters, and they have a very sophisticated grasp of fighters, as long as they can kill him again, the rest of them will not have to worry. Therefore, all the crossbow arrows were concentrated on Wang Tong, and he was not given a chance to breathe.

The crossbow arrows that came from the flat shot continued to hit the tower shield in Wang Tong's hand, and the huge anti-shock force shook the tiger's mouth in Wang Tong's left hand with blood. In desperation, Wang Tong could only change to holding the shield with both hands, relying on the strength of his shoulders to resist the tower shield, and moving forward step by step.

One of the crossbow arrows specifically found Wang Tong's legs, and no matter what direction he took, this crossbow arrow followed closely like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Wang Tong had to expend all his energy to prevent this crossbow arrow from hitting him, but in this way, the strength in his hand was insufficient. Just when he was tired of coping, several crossbow arrows shot at several corners of the tower shield, which suddenly made the tower shield in his hand lose its balance and deviate about five centimeters to the left.

A crossbow arrow had already found this gap at the moment when the tower shield was deflected, and with a "whoosh" sound, it arrived in front of Wang Tong's eyes, pointing directly at his front door. It was too late for Wang Tong to react, so he could only try his best to lower his head. With a "dang", the crossbow arrow hit the top of Wang Tong's helmet, knocking him backwards.

Two more crossbow arrows struck, hitting the knees of Wang Tong's legs with precision, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell heavily to the ground. Putting down Wang Tong, the others didn't have a chance, and they all fell on the way forward in just a few minutes.

This is the end of the second day's training, which is even worse than the results of the first day. Not a single person could reach the walls, and even the place where the last man fell was a little farther away than yesterday.

Wei Zifu didn't say anything more, he wanted the students to experience it for themselves, no matter how much the master said, it was not as profound as his own personal feelings. If we want these students to sacrifice less on the battlefield in the future, we must let them go through more training now, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime.

Liu Yu is also thinking about what he has experienced on the training ground today. It seems that he has taken a trip to the orc, and he is a little self-righteous. Today, I finally understand that war cannot be won by the strength of one person. No matter how strong an individual's ability is, if there is no assistance from his comrades, he will fall into the point of isolation. No matter how advanced your weapons are, no one can help you, and you can be tired to death when you are tired, can a person skip food and sleep?

However, those archers are also really powerful, and a small mistake can be caught by them, and then rely on their own ability to quickly turn this small mistake into a fatal blow through a series of attacks.

I couldn't help but admire Instructor Wei even more, he was a real fighter. Every movement of his feet, every movement of his footsteps, was so appropriate, easily shuttling through the rain of arrows. If we want to successfully complete this training, we must not expect everyone to reach the current level of the health instructors, but at least lay a solid foundation and prepare for future wars.

Liu Yu, who figured out all this, found Wang Tong and discussed with him how to conduct the next training. After reaching a consensus, the two of them found other students, listened to their opinions, and summarized everyone's ideas to formulate a follow-up training plan. When all this was done, Liu Yu and Wang Tong found Instructor Wei and took out the plan they had drawn up, hoping that Instructor Wei could point out the shortcomings.

Wei Zifu returned the plan to them in its original form, and then said, "In my place, you are not my students, but a warrior. I don't need you to show me all this stuff on paper, as long as you can complete the task I have given you, no matter what method you use. Please remember that the situation on the battlefield is always changing, and if you stick to a plan that has been made in advance, you will die without a place to be buried. ”

The drill on the third day began, and from this day on, Wei Zifu no longer instructed them, but just stood on the city wall and watched them conduct the drill, and handed over the command of the trainees to Liu Yu and Wang Tong, which was also one of their training.

Wang Tong is in front, Liu Yu is in the back, one is responsible for leading the students in front, and the other is responsible for directing and dispatching in the back. The positions where the students stood were also rearranged so that fifty-one people lined up in a phalanx of five in ten rows. Wang Tong and four other people were in the first row, and Liu Yu was alone in the end. And the trainees with a relatively high level of technical and tactical skills were arranged in the forefront, and then arranged in turn.

Wang Tong stood in the middle of the first row, his position relatively protruding, Ouyang De and Xiahou Hong stood on his left, and Qi Guang and Zhang Bo on his right. People are separated by two meters from each other, and rows are separated by five meters. The formation is relatively scattered, which makes it impossible for the archers to concentrate their firepower when attacking, and requires a higher hit rate.

With Liu Yu's order, the phalanx began to move forward slowly. Everyone knows where they are and how to deal with situations that arise. After the person in front was shot and fell to the ground, who was to be replaced by the behind, what speed to advance, and how the formation changed in the process of advancing were all stipulated.

When the phalanx advanced to a distance of four hundred meters from the city wall, the corrective fire of the archers fell in front of the first line headed by Wang Tong, followed by an even more fierce attack.

Liu Yu, who followed behind, was in charge of the overall situation, and one after another orders were issued from his mouth in an orderly manner, guiding the phalanx to attack forward.

Braving the crossbow arrows that rained down, Wang Tong led his comrades behind him to move forward step by step. As an arrowhead, he must withstand the pressure, withstand the opponent's non-stop crazy attacks, and open up a way forward for his comrades behind him.

Among the five people in the first row, the most unhappy is Zhang Bo, who was forced to rank in this position by Wang Tong. Originally, according to his idea, it would be good to be in the middle, not to be in the limelight, and not to lag behind. But who knew that Wang Tong had to put him in the first row, and said that only here could he be more exercised. You say that I am a dignified aristocratic son, do I really want to fight on the battlefield? But Liu Yu's kid also strongly agreed with Wang Tong's opinion, there was no way, Zhang Bo could only reluctantly accept such an arrangement, and obediently stood next to Wang Tong.

However, as a nobleman, he has his own glory, and if he is the first to fall, it is not something he can accept. So now that he has reached this position, Zhang Bo can only rush forward hard, trying not to be knocked down. (To be continued.) )
