Chapter 837: Come on, hurt each other

The pouring rain of arrows made the Sima cavalry suffer heavy losses, countless people and horses were shot to the ground, and the entire battlefield was in a mess.

The rain of arrows of the state army like a plague of locusts is too terrifying, the attack of 360 degrees without dead angles, so that the Sima army besieging on all sides can not find a way to dodge at all, under such a dense rain of arrows, any attack has become futile, the more rushed in front of the death, many cavalry are even people with horses, and they are killed by several arrows, just a wave of attack, the Sima army has lost thousands of people.

Originally, I was a sword warrior and a human fish, but as a result, it was bloody in front of me, and the state army suffered almost no casualties, while the Sima army suffered heavy losses.

This battle made Chen Tai a little suspicious, is this a special 3,000 people? If it weren't for the limited scale of the other party, Chen Tai suspected that there were tens of thousands of archers hidden behind those vehicles of the Bingzhou army, otherwise, how could such a dense rain of arrows be formed?

Sima Cavalry, who had vowed to take down the Bingzhou army, was slapped in the face, and after leaving a corpse in one place, he retreated in embarrassment.

Now Chen Tai's situation is also extremely embarrassing, he took 10,000 horses to Wulongkou to ambush and state army, this was originally a battle with clear strength and weakness without suspense, but as soon as he made a move, he found that this time he actually kicked on the iron plate, only to fight a wave of attack, the enemy's hair did not touch, and he lost thousands of men and horses, this matter spread so much, he Chen Tai should not become the laughing stock of the world.

However, Chen Tai was not a reckless man, and did not attack again in a fit of rage, because he knew that if he continued to attack in the same way as before, he would only increase the casualties and not achieve the desired results.

This army was different from the opponents it had encountered before, they relied on those strange chariots to maximize the efficiency of the archers, and the army of only 3,000 men was equipped with bows and arrows used by nearly 10,000 people, which greatly hindered the attack of the Sima cavalry.

Archers take advantage of long-range combat to the detriment of close combat, and once they are caught in close combat, the role of archers is almost lost, and they are only good for the sake of being slaughtered.

Next, it's time to plan a good way of attacking, the previous way of attacking was too simple and crude, trying to use the speed of the cavalry to destroy the opponent at once, but the opponent was caught off guard.

Since the opponent's bow and arrow are so powerful, it must first be suppressed, that is, the attacking cavalry must be added to cover firepower.

Although it is impossible for the Sima army to be equipped with so many archers, but among the five thousand infantry, the archers still occupy a considerable proportion, so Chen Tai ordered the archers in his army to be drawn out and shoot at the state army to cover the attack of the cavalry.

Moreover, in the attack of the cavalry, Chen Tai also appropriately adjusted the formation of the attack, the cavalry put into the previous attack by the Sima army was too dense, although such a formation can produce overwhelming momentum, but the overly dense formation made the archers of the Bingzhou army almost do not have to aim, and they can shoot the arrows at will, and they can shoot the opponent's cavalry.

Therefore, this formation is also a reason for the heavy casualties of the Sima army, and when attacking again, Chen Tai ordered to change the attack formation, adjusting the dense coverage formation to a wide and sparse formation, that is, increasing the distance between the cavalry, and letting all the cavalry use a small round shield in front of them to improve their defensive capabilities.

The second round of attacks began with a counterattack by archers, and under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, the archers of the Sima army advanced to a position at a suitable distance, facing the chariot formation of the Bingzhou army, lined up in a horizontal array, and under the command of the commander, carried out rows of volleys.

Because the terrain is relatively flat, so from the position where the archers of the Sima army are standing, they can only see the neat row of flat box cars, and even the figure of the Bingzhou army can not be seen, in this case, flat shooting is definitely not possible, it can only be shot on the flat box car, so the Sima army archers can only use the means of shooting up, raise the bow to a forty-five degree angle, and throw the bow and arrows.

I saw arrows drawing parabolas in the air and flying towards the military vehicle formation.

As soon as Sima Jun's archers struck, they were immediately counterattacked by the Bingzhou army, and the counterattack of the Bingzhou army was more dense and tyrannical than Sima Jun's bow and arrows, and the arrows that rained down poured over as if they didn't want money, and the entire sky seemed to be covered by arrows from both sides.

Although there are sword and shield soldiers in front of them to cover the archers, they can only defend against the arrows coming from the front, but they seem to be a little powerless against the arrows thrown from the overhead, after all, their archers also need space to fire arrows, if they are all covered with shields, then there is no way to counterattack, there is no way to provide cover for the cavalry to attack.

The archers had the worst defensive ability, and the arrows that fell from the sky could not dodge at all, and many archers were hit by arrows, either killed or wounded.

But at this time, it is impossible to retreat, even if there are constantly archers falling, it is necessary to maintain the formation of attack, Chen Tai knows, such bows and arrows shoot each other, it is originally a mutual injury, you shoot an arrow, I also an arrow, there will be casualties on each other, if you don't resist at this time, how to cover the attacking cavalry.

In the war, how can there be no casualties, Chen Tai can only grit his teeth and insist, he only hopes that if one of his archers falls, he can exchange for the life of the opponent's archers, and the Sima army has an advantage in numbers, so the result of mutual injury is more beneficial to the Sima army.

However, the other party was hiding behind the flat box car, and Chen Tai had no way of knowing how much damage his archers had caused to the other party, and he could only estimate how many of the opponent's archers had been killed by his side through the density of the opponent's arrow rain.

But Chen Tai observed for a long time, but found that the archers on his side continued to suffer casualties, and the arrows shot out became fewer and fewer, and the power was obviously weakened, but on the side of the Bingzhou army, it didn't seem to be affected much, and the density of the arrow rain was still so dense and fierce, and there was no sign of weakening at all. ...
