"Don't talk nonsense here!" Lang Chun couldn't help but shout, "Such a childish method can't even fool a three-year-old child." ”

"Hmph, if you have the ability, you can go with me, and this will kill Lang Chun!" After speaking, Hao Dong turned his head and flew back to his camp.

Of course, Ding Kui would not follow stupidly, nor did he sneak attack Hao Dong from behind, and also retreated to his side, without the intention of provoking a fight.

"There are also some magicians on the other side, and it's hard to say who has the upper hand in a fight, and if that Ao casts a forbidden spell, we may not be able to interrupt her. Hao Dong discussed with Lang Chun.

"Feng Shuai's order is to force them back, and now that they have retreated, it seems that they don't dare to come to us to fight hard, so they will be consumed with them for the time being, and when the army clears the enemy on the ground, they will naturally retreat. Lang Chun saw that the other side had not yet moved.

The two sides entered a state of confrontation.

The 44th Division began to move first, with the heavy infantry in front and the archers following behind, forming a phalanx and advancing towards the position of the Shaodian Army, while the cavalry of the 45th Division cruised on both flanks, facing each other in a similar formation to the opponent.

Ding Kui lowered his height and shouted downward, "Put it into eight hundred steps to attack." ”

"Horn horn. Lei Feixiang blew the trumpet, "All the crossbowmen listen, the direction is just ahead, the elevation is five, and they are ready." ”

The aim of the crossbow has nine elevations in the vertical plane, and the elevation of five is about forty-five degrees.

The three rows of 3,000 crossbowmen first loaded the arrows together, buckled the strings and then raised the crossbows together, and then corrected the elevation under the command of their respective squad leaders, and raised the arrows by 45 degrees in unison.

The movements of the crossbowmen were neat and uniform, and there was no sense of chaos and rustiness, and the warm-up drills in the morning were not in vain.

"Hmph, I thought it was some kind of elite troops," said the commander of the 44th Division contemptuously, "aiming so early, and when my men approached, the arms of those archers should be sore." ”

Another person who subconsciously thinks that a crossbow is a bow.

One of the main features of the crossbow is that it has enough time to aim without wasting effort, and the combat endurance is much higher than that of the longbow.

Having crossed the middle line of the battlefield with a neat and determined march, the archers drew an arrow from their quiver sacs, twisted it between their fingers, and stopped to fire at their intended position.

Trumpet!

A high-pitched and loud horn.

The three hundred crossbowmen squad leaders shouted in unison: "Shoot!"

Smack, smack!

Three thousand crossbowmen pulled the trigger and fired their bolts.

Three rows of crossbow arrows were fired high.

"Cut, the commander is too nervous!" the commander of the 44th Division scoffed again, "My hoplite infantry is only about eight hundred paces away from them. ”

But the Heavenly Hao Dong and Lang Chun shouted at the same time: "Oops!" After all, he was a sixth-level combat power, and he could see the attack power of the crossbow arrows in a moment, and he absolutely greatly suppressed the archers of his own army.

The commander of the 44th Division adopted the tactics of archers firing at each other and heavy infantry assault, the core of which was that the archers pinned each other down, and the heavy infantry was able to break through the enemy's defense line and disrupt the enemy's position.

However, if the opponent's bow and arrow can suppress your own bow and arrow, then the hoplite is likely to become a living target, and will not have a chance to get close to the enemy's position.

In fact, it was exactly this, and the harsh sound of three rows of crossbow arrows fell on the archers of their own army, and one by one their own troops fell in response, and the screams came one after another. Suddenly receiving a powerful blow, unprepared for one or more crossbow arrows piercing the body, even the well-trained regular army could not help but cry out.

"Full speed ahead!" the captain of the hoplite infantry immediately charged, without waiting for the commander's order. At this time, you can't continue to walk slowly, and when the archers behind you are dead, those terrifying crossbow arrows will be aimed at them, who knows if the heavy armor on their bodies can be defended.

Ding Kui raised his head and shouted: "Use the forbidden spell to deal with the enemy's magician! ”

Ao Yan knew that this order was for herself, and the magic wand in her hand immediately moved. She is the only one forbidden on this battlefield.

"Up!" Huan Qiao was the first to fly, and the other magicians also flew up. There were more than forty magicians in the 71st Division, and there were nearly 100 on both sides combined.

"Hurry up! Interrupt the forbidden mage first. "Hao Dong is in a hurry, and he can't continue to dry up. Not to mention the enemy's forbidden curse, even if the troops below are in danger, they can't stare dryly.

As soon as Feng Run ascended to the platform, he saw a sudden change on the battlefield, "Order, the cavalry of the 46th and 47th divisions will join the battlefield, and the cavalry of the 45th division will attack, and they must capture the enemy's position." "He is an experienced commander who knows at a glance the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and makes the most correct response in experience.

The 46th Division had only entered Sancha Town from the west, and the 47th Division was still behind, and the cavalry of these two divisions did not arrive at the battlefield so quickly.

Trumpet!

Lei Feixiang jumped up a dirt slope and used a telescope to observe the casualties of the enemy's archers.

The second wave of crossbow arrows passed, and a third of our own archers, also of 3,000 men, fell, and the remaining two-thirds were in disarray, some rushing to the front, some to the back, and some to the left and right.

The situation of the hoplites was much better, they were able to maintain formation and run at high speed, and they had already rushed out of twenty or thirty meters.

"Aiming at flat fire, target enemy archers, the first row is left, the second row is in the middle, the third line is right, and those who flee don't care about it first. Lei Feixiang adjusted the order.

First, the battalion commander stood up to point out the direction, then the platoon commander came out to divide the range, and finally the squad leader claimed the target, and the officers of the crossbowmen received the orders in an orderly manner.

"Horn!" the deadly horn sounded again.

Boom, crossbow arrows flew out like a goddess scattering flowers, and it was no longer a neat three rows.

"Beautiful!" Ding Kui paid attention to the crossbowmen while swinging his spear to intercept Lang Chun's arrows, and at the same time used his Douqi armor to block a few low-level magics, heroically guarding Ao Yan's body.

Ding Kun has already fought with Hao Dong, and the two great martial artists who don't use weapons seem to be natural enemies, and they always want to kill each other first.

"Rush quickly, rush quickly!" The commander of the 45th Division personally led the cavalry to charge, even if there were only 2,000 people, less than half of the strength of the 71st Division on the spot.

"The first and second brigades attacked, we don't pick up cheap. Dong Ba indifferently ordered, the enemy's cavalry was like a dead man in his eyes.

The most anxious on the battlefield were still the heavily armored infantry, and after the opponent's third wave of arrows was fired, they only ran forty or fifty paces, and they were still more than seven hundred steps away from the opponent. The captain in charge of the command prayed in his heart that the archers behind him would not die too quickly, and that it would be better to hold on for another cup of tea.

Another three waves of crossbow arrows were fired, and less than a third of the archers of our army remained, and the accuracy of aiming and shooting was much higher.

"Demarcated by a flag, the left side attacks the left flank enemy cavalry, the right flank enemy cavalry, free attack. Horn!" Lei Feixiang blew the horn after he finished the order.

Because the order is to attack freely, there is no need to fire a full salvo, and the control of the attack rhythm is delegated to the hands of each platoon commander.

The captain of the heavy infantry couldn't believe his eyes, the enemy's archers hadn't attacked them yet! How did he know that Lei Feixiang was waiting for them to enter the range of four hundred paces.

Cavalry, of course, is faster than infantry and has much worse defense, so crossbowmen attacking cavalry are the best option at this time.

The first unlucky thing was the war horse, the target was large and there was no defense, the crossbow arrow basically would not miss, and the more than 100 horsemen in the front suddenly fell to the ground, forcing the cavalry behind to change their formation.

The two brigades of the 71st Division were still hundreds of meters away from the opponent, and the leading captain scolded: "Fuck, leave us some!"

Ding Cai carried the big flag with the word "Ding" next to the military flag, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Lei Feixiang, I bet with you that those soldiers and ruffians will make trouble for you after the war." ”

"Brother Cai, are you a brother? As the representative of the master, can you watch them bully me?" Lei Feixiang still had the leisure to laugh.

"Of course I won't be watching, I'll close my eyes. ”

"Fuck! You're a coward. Lei Feixiang was so angry that he almost threw the horn to the ground.

Due to the absolute disadvantage in numbers, Huan Qiao and the others began to hurry, and with the assistance of Hao Dong and Lang Chun, the magicians of the Northern Fifth Legion gathered fire in a round and finally interrupted Ao Yan's spell casting.

"Hmph, Wind Blade Storm!" an enraged Ao Yan joins the mage's battle group.

At this time, the pressure of Huan Qiao and the others was greatly reduced, not only to defend against the enemy's magician's attack, but also to take the time to fight back, and to balance the battle situation in the air.

The cavalry of the two sides finally collided together, and with the difference in strength and the cooperation of the crossbowmen, the first and second brigades of the 71st Division almost did no damage to disperse the opponent.

"What kind of weapon is that?" Feng Run's gaze locked on the crossbowmen's position, realizing that it was the biggest threat.

"It must have been something like a bow and arrow, and those who retreated from Port City did not see the enemy use such weapons. A staff officer hurriedly replied.

"Nonsense, of course these commanders know! Find a way to contact the theater battalion and ask the theater command if there is any relevant information. This unit must have been brought out by Ding Kui, the enemy's 71st Division was not equipped with similar weapons, and the local army should have captured it after fighting Ding Kui for so long. ”

Feng Run's thoughts are normal, and they are not far from the truth, but he didn't expect that Gong Jun would not be able to capture the golden bamboo crossbow.

"Stop, the heavy infantry in front of the target, shoot horizontally and aim, fire in three rows, and prepare!" Lei Feixiang finally waited until the enemy came within four hundred paces.

All crossbowmen stop looking for enemy cavalry to attack, quickly reload their bolts, and aim at their chosen targets from the first row.

"Oops, you can attack hoplites from such a distance. The commander of the 44th Division gasped.

This time he didn't dare to underestimate the crossbowmen, the other party's movements were so confident and calm, the enemy hiding in the infantry pit had no intention of coming out at all, and his 2,000 heavy armored infantry estimated that there would be no return.

There are enemy cavalry eyeing you, and now it is too late to order a retreat, and turning your back will only end up being slaughtered.

The only hope is the heavenly magicians.

Ding Kui is looking for Lang Chun against a magic attack, and Ao Yan doesn't need his protection, so she can free up her hand to attack Lang Chun and intercept the enemy's magic by the way.

"Lang Chun, don't hide in the team of magicians, isn't it obvious that you don't trust Hao Dong. ”
