This way of releasing crossbow arrows, in front of the two armies, or the first time appeared, originally Li Quanjun was mentally prepared to suffer from the Song army's bow and arrow blockade, but they did not expect to encounter such a rain of arrows baptism, although the Song army's crossbow arrows are not very dense, but the terrible is endless, and the Song army is a strong crossbow in their hands, within one hundred and fifty steps they entered, it is considered to have embarked on the road to Huangquan, although they accelerated the speed of the impact, but under such a rain of arrows, Many people could not complete the task of rushing in front of the Song army, so they were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

The strong crossbow battalion was no more than 1,000 people, but under such a three-stage attack, the combat power exerted far exceeded the previous ordinary firing method, causing a large number of casualties to Li Quanjun's army.

The three-stage strike can be said to be created by Gao Huaiyuan, he has been pondering how to improve the Song army and how to restrain the enemy over the years, and has already noticed the equipment and common tactics of the Song army, the Song army's lack of horses is a fact, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to change this fact, and it is impossible for artillery to be used on the battlefield in large quantities at present, and how to improve the combat power of the Song army has become something he must solve.

The Song army has always attached great importance to the equipment of bows and crossbows, and even Huayue once had them, with six out of thirty weapons, and the bow was the head; Martial arts have eight out of ten, and the bow is the first, it can be seen that the Song army attaches great importance to the equipment of the bow and crossbow, and the crossbowmen occupy a large proportion in the sequence of the Song army, but a problem arises, although the Song army adopts a recruitment system, most of the soldiers in the army are professional soldiers, but the degree of training is uneven, and the archers are not very good at archery, and the real threat to the enemy is the strong crossbow.

The advantages of the crossbow are that it is easy to operate, easy to train, has a long range, and is powerful and has a large penetration force, but at the same time there is a well-known shortcoming, that is, the problem of slow firing rate.

That is to say, when the battle is approaching, the crossbow is difficult to cope with the rapid assault of the enemy, and the enemy can only send three or four crossbow arrows at the earliest, and the enemy has already arrived in front of him to start a hand-to-hand engagement, which also greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the crossbowmen.

Gao Huaiyuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered the method of three-stage attack often used by musketeers in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, after the Ming Dynasty, the musketeers began to equip the army in large quantities for war, but the firing speed of the musket is very slow, one minute may only be able to fire one round, the fastest can only fire two rounds, often shoot a shot at the enemy in front of the eyes, and then someone came up with a three-stage shot method, let the three rows of soldiers take turns to fire, so that the musket forms a continuous firepower, and later this three-stage shot in the early stage of hot weapons, has become the standard method of warfare in China and the West, It played a huge role in the use of firepower.

Compared with the crossbow and the musket, the range is not shorter than the initial musket, and the firing rate is also higher than the musket, if the same three-stage strike method is used, the firepower intensity will even exceed the musket much, the power will be multiplied, as long as the enemy is opposed, the crossbow soldier can form an endless rain of arrows, to the impact of the enemy with great damage.

Therefore, he ordered the crossbowmen in the army to practice this firing method, and after a near-actual combat exercise, he found that this method was indeed very effective, which greatly enhanced the firepower of the crossbowmen.

And today is the first time to really test the power of this kind of strong crossbow three-stage attack, once used, the effect is really good, the distance of one hundred and fifty steps, has become the hell road of Li Quanjun in the attack, countless Li Quanjun fell on the way forward, and they did not understand to death, why the Song army's strong crossbow is so fierce today, so that they do not even have a chance to breathe, the slightest carelessness, they fell to the ground with an arrow.

Li Quan watched the soldiers and horses he sent fall in front of the Song army's crossbowmen like cutting rice, and the Song army's crossbowmen didn't seem to be very numerous, but they caused so much damage to his generals, until he saw the method of the Song army's crossbowmen firing, Li Quan suddenly realized and understood the truth.

Li Quan is also a battle-hardened general, well-informed, when he saw the Song army's method of releasing arrows, he immediately understood the reason, although at the same time, the Song army's crossbowmen did not fire more crossbow arrows, but compared with the previous salvo, this method of firing has formed a continuous firepower, causing great damage to the attacker both physically and psychologically, so he has to admire the person who created this shooting method is really a genius.

But now that his military order has been issued, if the military order is withdrawn, the soldiers sent out will be withdrawn, and the losses will be even greater, and only by letting his subordinates rush forward can the losses be reduced, otherwise, the price paid now will be considered blind!

Therefore, Li Quan could only order his subordinates to continue to beat the drums, and the instigators charged towards the Song army, and heard the war drums sounding behind him like a urge, and these soldiers of the Northern Army who were ordered to attack had to bite the bullet and continue to rush towards the Song army array in the face of the fierce arrows of the Song army.

It works great! Even better than I expected! Gao Huaiyuan stood under the banner of the handsome, always examining the battle situation in front of him, and nodded again and again and smiled at the crossbowmen in front of Hua Yue.

The three-stage attack is indeed very terrible for the attacking side, and it is very suitable for field warfare, and the adults have created a method of warfare, which will also double the combat power of the crossbowmen even if they face the enemy cavalry! Hua Yue had also been observing the situation in front of the army at this time, and after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, he nodded and replied.

Not! This kind of three-stage attack is okay against the enemy's infantry charge, but once it encounters the enemy cavalry that comes up and goes like the wind, the effect will not be too good, at best it is slightly better than the previous salvo, after all, when the cavalry is rushing over, each crossbowman can only fire two crossbow arrows at most, which is quite good! To deal with the enemy cavalry, it is more suitable for archers, but there is still a problem, that is, how to deal with the enemy cavalry to quickly attack the archer camp, you must know that once the cavalry enters the archer's array, it will become a one-sided slaughter! Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said, now he is still thinking about dealing with cavalry.

While they were talking, Li Quanjun had already braved the rain of arrows and rushed close to the crossbowmen in the front row, and it was too late for the crossbowmen to continue to release arrows in an orderly manner at this time.

But Zhao Futang did not mess up at all, and shouted loudly: Strong crossbow battalion, retreat! The Golden Gun Battalion is on board! Knife and axe hands keep up!

With Zhao Futang's order, the strong crossbow battalion immediately reflexively retreated, and gathered together, giving way to more than ten passages, and followed by the golden spear battalion holding vertical shields and spears immediately passed through the passages left by these crossbow soldiers, and immediately came to the forefront of the army, instantly dispersed, standing the vertical shield in front of him, and at the same time lowered his body, into a half-squatting posture, and carried the vertical shield with his left shoulder, the spear and pestle in his right hand were on the ground, and the tip of the spear was facing forward, and the second column of soldiers immediately followed, and handed out the shield with the spear flat, Together, they quickly formed an iron wall of shields and spears.

The Song army was originally all crossbowmen, but in an instant, it turned into a forest of spears formed by spears, and the sharp tips of the spears flashed with a little cold light, pointing at the oncoming generals of Li Quan's army.

Just when Li Quan launched the Chinese army to attack the middle of Gao Huaiyuan's Song army, the loyal Shun army led by Huang Yan on the left side of the Song army had also killed the right flank of Li Quan's army at this time.

The soldiers and horses on the left wing of Li Quan's army are not vegetarian, this army is a soldier and horse formed in Qingzhou when Li Quan attacked Qingzhou, Qingzhou people are good at fighting since ancient times, it is a well-known thing, so this army is also regarded by Li Quan as the elite of the army, this time I hope they can make contributions in a battle.

The two strong meet the brave wins, the loyal army bumps into Li Quan's Qingzhou soldiers, when even if a vicious battle is launched, it is a pity that Li Quan's Qingzhou soldiers are not in line at this time, most of these people are in response to Li Quan's resistance to Jin, only to follow Li Quan's rebellion, in the past few years, Li Quan because of Peng Yibin, **, the Flying Tiger Army turned against each other, the forces were expelled from the northeast of Beijing, these Qingzhou soldiers also lost their homes, had to go south with Li Quan, lived in Chuzhou City, a few years, these Qingzhou soldiers have already returned to their hearts, want to return to their hometown, He Nai Li Quan was very strictly guarded, so that they could not return to their hometowns.

This time the Song army conscripted Li Quan, and the Qingzhou soldiers were not willing to die for Li Quan, but because Li Quan had an order to go out of the city to meet the Song army, they had to go out with the army, and Li Quan was placed on the right flank and used as a heavy army.

The general of this Qingzhou army is named Feng Tao, not Li Quan's lineage, but Liu Qingfu's subordinates back then, because Li Quan has been empty Liu Qingfu in the past two years, Feng Tao has actually been dissatisfied with Li Quan, but he is under Li Quan's command, and he does not dare to make a mistake.

As soon as the Zhongshun army launched an attack, Huang Yan sent the most elite trap camp in the army to fight, and when the trap camp rushed to the Qingzhou soldier array, Feng Tao ordered his subordinates to release arrows to block the Song army's attack, but because the trapping camp soldiers were well-equipped, the round shield in their hands blocked most of the arrows, so their counterattack did not have a good effect, and the trap camp quickly broke into front of the Qingzhou army after paying a little price.

With the order of the trapping camp officer, they once again sacrificed the magic weapon to make good use, the rows of trapping soldiers shouted violently, and threw out the shuttle guns in their hands, Feng Tao originally put the archers in the forefront, the archers' long-range attack ability is acceptable, but the melee defense ability is the worst person in the army, they did not expect that these soldiers of the Song army would use the shuttle gun This weapon suddenly attacked them, when they saw the shuttle spear flying all over the sky, it was too late to change the formation, and the archers in the front line paid a heavy price, After a round of pike guns fell, more than 100 archers were hunted and killed.

Be happy and remember the only one
