"Woo" The piercing horn sounded, and the soldiers following these war elephants also quickly began to advance in unison, but they did not charge directly, after all, they were still about two or three miles away from Li Ke and them.

The sound of "bang" and "bang" neat footsteps kept coming, and all the naval soldiers lined up in a neat queue continued to advance, until Li Ke was completely blocked behind before stopping his footsteps with an order.

Li Ke didn't leave, his place was now on the high ground, at least close to two hundred meters away from the frontline battle array, this distance was already very safe for the cold weapon era.

Li Ke wanted to see how much combat effectiveness the soldiers he had trained.

Fan Zheng rode on the war elephant, his face was cold, he couldn't see clearly from too far away just now, he could only see a piece of soldiers wearing armor, but as the distance approached, Fan Zheng's face also became serious, at least three thousand more soldiers, the front row held at least half a person's high arc shield, and their whole body was a special armor, he felt that it was more complete than the Mingguang armor!

Is this the elite troops of Datang? But soon Fan Zheng's face also showed a hint of hideousness, since you Datang want to swallow us, then you can't blame the injustice. These shields may be able to prevent war horses, but in the face of war elephants, there is only one end, and that is death!

The impact of war elephants is not comparable to that of war horses!

"Ready!" Fan Zheng shouted, and with Fan Zheng's words, the guards who were the same war elephant with him directly raised the banner in their hands, and when the guard flag was raised, all the soldiers on the other war elephants raised their bows and arrows in their hands.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching!

Liu Yilong took a deep breath, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, just the bow and arrow made of bamboo in Lin Yiguo? An arrow that doesn't even have many iron arrowheads?

"Squat!" Liu Yilong roared, a sharp whistle sounded throughout the battlefield, and the shield-wielding soldiers in the first and second rows instantly squatted down and hid their bodies behind the shields, and behind them, a full two hundred bed crossbows instantly appeared in front of everyone.

This is not the kind of large bed crossbow, but a medium-sized bed crossbow made by Li Ke's researchers, similar to the three-armed bed crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, but it only has two arms, and the most important thing is that on both sides of its bed crossbow is installed a pulley set that appeared in this world for the first time, which is extremely similar to the pulley compound crossbow of later generations.

There is a movable pulley block that can reduce its tensile force, and the composite crossbow string greatly increases the drawing distance, so that the power of this two-arm bed crossbow is sharply increased, although the pulley is not an eccentric wheel, and because of the problem of ball lubrication, it may slightly reduce the rebound speed of the bowstring, but compared to the advantages brought by the movable pulley group, this reduced power is not important.

Resting on the ground by a special steel pole, in a main groove in the middle of the two-arm bed crossbow are crossbow arrows about the thickness of two adult fingers, the arrows are sharp armor-piercing triangular steel arrows, and on the sides are two crossbow arrows the thickness of little fingers, also using triangular armor-piercing arrows.

Its maximum range reached more than 700 meters, which could not be compared with the 1500 meters range of the three-bow bed crossbow recorded in the Song Dynasty, but its effective range was also more than 500 meters, and the power of this thing was 500 meters, even the new steel armor it wore could not resist.

As for the so-called rattan armor on these Linyi soldiers and those war elephants, the protective swords are actually not bad, but for the protection of this thing, Li Ke wants to see it.

The entire bed crossbow has been removed from the huge supports underneath, so it is not too heavy, and two people can easily run away with it.

This is one of the reasons why they can easily come with two hundred bed crossbows.

When he saw clearly what was on the other side, a trace of fear flashed on Fan Zheng's face, but now the distance between them and the other party could not be stopped!

"Charge!" Fan Zheng gave the order suddenly, and now retreating is looking for death, and he can only rush through this distance as fast as possible!

As terrifying as the giant bed crossbows were, there were not many of them, and once they had passed the first wave, they had no second chance to wind up.

"Woo" A sharp horn sounded, and the war elephant troops in Linyi instantly heard the sound of the riders, and the war elephants they rode instantly began to move their legs quickly, and the dull footsteps instantly made the ground tremble.

Li Ke took a deep breath, I have to say that there is something in these war elephant troops, the physical strength of elephants is not weak, Asian elephants can run at a speed close to 30 kilometers per hour, and can also run for a long time, although it is not as good as the endurance of horses, but there is no problem in charging such a short distance.

The elephant's running is more like a fast race walk, but the tremor driven by the charge of a thousand elephants is not for the soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, it is estimated that they will be scared to pee in the face of this scene.

The distance between the two sides approached rapidly, and when the elephant soldiers of the other side approached a distance of about four hundred meters, Liu Yilong suddenly showed a cruel smile on his face, and waved his hand directly down, "Let's go!" ”

The countless dull crossbow strings resounded continuously, and the countless sharp crossbow arrows whistling instantly resounded in the ears of all the soldiers, and the six hundred crossbow arrows fired by 200 bows and crossbows swooped straight at the enemy at a terrifying speed.

Just a few seconds later, "Moo! Similar to the barking of a cow, but the screams of the elephants resounded throughout the battlefield, and the crossbow arrows on the front row of war elephants even plunged directly into a depth of dozens of centimeters, and one of the crossbow arrows just shot into the forehead of an elephant, and the elephant fell directly to the ground.

Some elephants that had not yet been shot directly made miserable screams, went crazy in an instant, and rushed directly to the side indiscriminately, colliding with their companions.

And some soldiers who were unlucky enough to be directly hit by crossbow arrows flew out directly as if they were hit by a huge object that could not be seen, and the whole person's chest was torn out of a huge hole.

Fan Zheng's luck was good, the war elephant under his crotch escaped the attack in the first round, but Fan Zheng, who was sitting on the war elephant, seemed to fall directly into the ice cellar, because in his sight, the soldiers behind the bed crossbow were actually two people who directly forcibly pulled the crossbow string and directly wound it!

How is this possible?! With such a powerful bed crossbow, how can two people pull the crossbow string?!

In the process of winding the opponent, the soldier next to him had already put three crossbow arrows into the groove again.

The shrill and sharp whistling sound of "hum" sounded again, and after the soldiers put the crossbow arrows away, they did not hesitate to knock off the crossbow strings with a small hammer.

This time Fan Zheng didn't have such good luck again, a small crossbow arrow went directly across his chest, because the distance between the two sides was closer, the crossbow arrow directly shot his whole person through a hole, and even directly shot the soldiers behind him down the war elephant again.
