61 Rare Troops

(Today's first update is presented, and the new book is asking for collection and recommendation, thank you!! ）

After having the experience of such a battle, the psychological quality of these veterans is much better now, and everyone basically did not panic, and began to step forward step by step according to Li Zixiao's password.

These veterans faced the recruits on both sides as they advanced, and the men they brought with them shouted encouragement and gave them atmosphere,

Under the personal command of Li Zixiao, under the leadership of these veterans, one by one, they advanced towards them side by side, but they did not scatter the team, and approached the other party thirty or forty paces away.

At this time, Liu Dabao began to find that the opponent seemed to be a little abnormal, after all, he had also mixed with the previous large rebel army for a period of time, and he had also seen the large-scale battle scenes between the rebel army and the official army.

In a situation like this, in his cognition, often whoever has more people, as long as they rush hard, the side with fewer people often immediately begins to mess up, as long as the other party is confused, almost half of them win.

But today, it seems that something is wrong, the other side is more than half, but in the face of them rushing over, there is no sign of chaos, still in a tight formation, slowly advancing towards them, this situation is a bit strange.

In such a situation, he had never seen such a strange situation even two years ago, when he was fighting with a large group of rebels and official troops.

Except for the generals' family teams, the officers and soldiers are quite elite, and the others are no different from the rebels, and they are basically a mess.

What the hell is today, there is an evil aura everywhere on the opposite pole, and it feels different from the pole he has seen before, which makes him start to feel a little uneasy.

So Liu Dabao began to slow down, did not rush to the front, and shouted at the two cronies next to him: "Shoot them, shoot them!" ”

After hearing Liu Dabao's roar, there were two cronies with bows next to him, so he immediately stood still, put his knife into the sheath, took off the longbow on his back, and began to aim at Li Zixiao.

At this time, some of the subordinates who were running in front of them, seeing that the opposite side was not in the slightest panic, also began to feel the difference between the other party, and began to slow down.

Li Zixiao saw two people on the opposite side starting to shoot arrows at them from a long distance, which made him feel shocked, he didn't expect that there were archers in Liu Dabao's pole.

You know, Daming is not like the nomads outside the Saiwai, riding horses and archery since childhood, if you want to train an excellent archer in Daming, it takes a long time of hard training, so archers are far more difficult to train than pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.

And bows and arrows are not as common as spears and broadswords, and if they are not stored properly, it is easy to spoil a good bow, so bows and arrows are far more difficult to get than spears, broadswords, and shields in Daming.

This is also the main reason why Li Zixiao has never been able to get an archer until now, and those who ask why they don't use bows and arrows to shoot at each other in war.

If the archers are really so worthless, the Ming Dynasty directly established a large team of archers, even if they don't go out of the city, only defend the city, they will not be broken into by the Tartars outside the plug every year, and many cities have been captured.

Because China belongs to the agricultural civilization, it is destined that the archer is rarer than the pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and the same is true of the cavalry, which has been a scarce class of troops in China since ancient times.

Li Zixiao can quickly pull up a team of pikemen in a week, but even if you give him half a year, he may not be able to train an elite team of archers, this is the truth.

Perhaps, you can find a few more powerful ones, and then find a way to get two bows, and then you can call them archers, but whether they can shoot arrows is a problem, and whether they can shoot arrows is even more problematic.

At this time, the two archers on the opposite side also released their arrows, and with the light sound of the two bowstrings, the two feather arrows immediately rose from the side of Liu Dabao and fell towards Li Zixiao.

Maybe it was because of the nervousness, or maybe the two of them were not good at archery in the first place, and after the two arrows fell, none of them hit the people in their team.

One of the two arrows flew over the crowd and into the distance, while the other simply stuck directly in front of the feet of the people in the front row, and it was understandable that two half-hung archers on the opposite side shot at a distance of more than one hundred and fifty paces.

After seeing this scene, Li Zixiao finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, and saw that the two archers opposite were also half-, which was good news for them.

Even so, the sudden interception of the bow and arrow still caused confusion on Li Zixiao's side, but in Li Zixiao's angry shouts, the small chaos in the team ended immediately.

Then, soon a second wave of arrows from the opposite side also fired, this time one of which hit a copycat soldier.

The man who had been struck by the arrow immediately threw away his spear and fell to the ground, letting out a miserable wail that caused a gap in the procession.

Li Zixiao also suddenly had a big head, this is what he was afraid of, the other party had archers, and they had no ability to counter, but unfortunately the only longbow under his command was in the hands of Quartz.

At this time, Quartz was sent by Li Zixiao to the Mountain Temple to rescue Old Master Wei, otherwise with Quartz's superb archery skills, he should be able to solve the other party in the first time.

Seeing that his subordinates were in some chaos, Li Zixiao had to stiffen his scalp and shouted loudly: "Stabilize me and continue to move forward." The gap that appears in the back row is filled.

Liu Zhong pulled the wounded to the back, and at the same time, you also showed Lao Tzu clearly, and when you saw that someone was about to escape, you killed me! Forward, one-two-one......"

Li Zixiao yelled to intimidate his subordinates, and at the same time gave orders to Liu Zhong behind him, shouting the password to speed up his pace.

Although some people are very scared, but because of Li Zixiao's threat, coupled with the ideas that Li Zixiao constantly instilled in them in the cottage, they may die if they are defeated and scattered, but if they turn around and run away, they will be hacked to death by the iron head, and they will die faster.

Although these people were really scared at this time, because of Li Zixiao's success in brainwashing in the early stage, they still forcibly suppressed the fear in their hearts, and continued to move forward step by step with Li Zixiao's password.

Liu Dabao's three archers released two more arrows, and as the distance narrowed, their accuracy was also better, and they actually let them shoot two more people at once.

There was also an archer who shot an arrow at Li Zixiao, but the accuracy was lacking, and the arrow flew over Li Zixiao's shoulder, which also made Li Zixiao break out in a cold sweat.

Several shield-wielding subordinates, under Li Zixiao's order, immediately ran to the front of the team, raised their shields and substituted for the spearmen behind them to block the bows and arrows fired from the opposite side.

However, it is very rare to cause three casualties to Li Zixiao in just three waves of archery, but even so, Liu Dabao's people failed to stop Li Zixiao and his group from continuing to advance slowly.

Liu Dabao's hope of using the archers to break up the opponent's formation was disappointed, and the distance between the two sides was still narrowed step by step to within ten steps, at this time the archers had lost their effect, and they didn't dare to put arrows in front anymore, otherwise they would be injured by mistake.

Under Li Zixiao's continuous orders, the personnel in the back row took a step forward and took over the position of the people in the front row who fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, with fear and anger in everyone's eyes.

Their hands were tightly gripping the barrel of the gun in their hands, the sweat in their palms had soaked the barrel, and some of them even began to tremble a little because of excessive tension.
