"Okay, then I will lead the troops there now." Tian Yu looked excited, then picked up his weapon and stood up directly. It was obvious that after so many years in Youzhou, Tian Yu had become a little tired. I feel itchy. I finally got an opportunity and I don’t want to miss it at all.
"Zilong, send someone to follow Guorang. If Guorang has the advantage, don't take action. If things go wrong, it's up to you." Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Yun and said after Tian Yu left.
"I'm worried that Oswin is behind." Zhao Yun frowned and said, "The terrain here has some hills. The other party deliberately came here to have some intention of ambush."
"Leave Oswin to me." Zhang Fei said vigorously, "As for the hilly terrain, it is also an opportunity for the crossbow shield guard."
To be honest, when Chen Xi came up to mobilize the military system, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were actually a little panicked. Although everyone's logistics and equipment were provided by Chen Xi, and Chen Xi also knew the soldiers according to their knowledge, they could not You Chen Xi said to use military control, so let’s use military control.
Shouldn't this be done through careful study, on-the-spot investigation, and step by step? You must know that this is a military system, but it represents the gun and shield of an empire and cannot be messed with.
Especially the establishment of shield guards, this is really hurtful to generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc. who understand what shield guards mean. Although they do not lead shield guards, the number and scale of shield guards For them, it still has a very big impact.
The extremely high lower limit of the shield guards allows them to attack without any scruples in many cases.
Even if they are ambushed by the opponent, relying on the steel defense of the shield guards, they can survive the early chaotic stage, and then attack with all their strength. After all, they are just soldiers. After seeing the super thick armor of the shield guards who are teammates, they will firmly believe in our main force. It's definitely not broken, they will come to save me. .
Although theoretically speaking, the main army should be able to fight better than the shield guards, but in terms of trust, for ordinary regular troops, they are more willing to trust the shield guards' armor.
After all, compared to the innate strength that is invisible and cannot be touched, and whose exact level cannot be determined, the shield guard's real steel plate defense of at least 50mm is very popular.
At least looking at the thickness of the armor, the soldiers of the main army felt that if something happened, these people would definitely be able to catch it. It was a 50mm real steel plate, so there were shield guards stationed there. Most of the soldiers of the main army slept like dead pigs at night. It's the same - if the other party can annihilate the shield guard before waking me up, I don't think I can solve the problem whether I wake up or not.
Although this statement is a bit outrageous, it is indeed very popular, and many soldiers are willing to believe it. This shows that the sense of security sometimes depends not on combat effectiveness, but on image. Of course, the 50mm armor is not an exaggeration. People may not be excellent, but resisting beatings is definitely top-notch.
Therefore, when they heard that Chen Xi came up to use the shield guards, Guan Yu and others were a little worried.
In the end, what Chen Xi called moving the shield guard was just to replace the shield guard with a new warhead.
When they saw Chen Xi unloading more than 60,000 crossbows from the warship, Guan Yu and others were really a little confused. However, after introducing the simple and crude use methods, Guan Yu and other battlefield veterans realized that this adjustment was very important for the shield. What is the meaning of Wei?
The Han army has always suffered from archers. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also know this, but there is no good way. They can only suffer losses in external battles.
Just like when Fulward fought against the three fools in Beigui, if it hadn't been for the emergence of a large number of second and fifth boys, Fulward might still be able to fight against the three fools now.
As a result, when Fulward arrived on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Qiang people, who were absolutely third-rate in the Han Dynasty combat team, were able to risk their lives with Fulward. To put it bluntly, it was because when they took the initiative to attack, many things that once did not need to be scrupulous became It's a fatal weakness.
Zhang Fei and others had also thought about increasing the size of the archers, but after calculating the loss rate, the Han army continued to increase the size of the cavalry and heavy infantry as it had done in foreign battles.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xi solved all the problems with the crossbow shield guard. Although this way of solving the problem seemed outrageous, 60,000 yuan for a small and medium-sized crossbow machine was not a small amount of money.
Of course, for Chen Xi, the small and medium-sized crossbows were simplified to 57 parts when they were rated by master craftsmen last year and the test questions were released to solidify the parts. 45 of them were optimized by Richter to the point where they can be used by people who have a little knowledge of related work. Regarding the level of production, among the remaining 12 parts, seven have a certain technical level, and five are directly forged from steel...
All are optimized to the point where they are thrown onto the assembly line. The production of 60,000 small and medium-sized crossbows is nothing more than a small assembly line divided by the state-owned lumberyard and the smelting department. The results of the half-year trial operation are This is also a stall-style assembly.
However, even for the so-called stall-style assembly, this technical idea is at least 1,500 years ahead of this era, and the efficiency is still a bit outrageous.
Therefore, after receiving more than 60,000 crossbows, Guan Yu quickly issued them to the shield guards. He didn't even need training. Everyone can shoot a crossbow. When there are few people, he also pays attention to three points and one line. A large army attacks and it is carried out in an organized manner. Strike, as long as the general direction is fine.
The problem of archer suppression that had to be faced before was instantly solved, and more importantly, the survivability was not reduced at all.
"Then I will lead the crossbow shield guards to seize advantageous terrain." Zhang Yan said eagerly. He was evaluated by Bai Qi as having the ability of violent kite and rhinoceros. This is a great recognition. Rounding it off, he is comparable to the famous generals of ancient times. , we must be worthy of this evaluation.
"That's fine, I'll hold the line. That guy Oswin might also be staring at this place. He's not easy to deal with." Zhang Fei said angrily. Zhang Yan led the shield guards to attack. It was a very good choice. It can be advanced or attacked. , you can retreat and defend, and even if you encounter unexpected situations, you can still step down smoothly. These days, soldiers can lose less, which is much more important than gains.
The Han army had to react quickly, but they could not stand it. Urdu, Kailash, and Falgon were all elites who had many encounters with the Han army. They observed Bai Mayi in the hilly area and went on alert after the white shadow. state.
It must be said here that Baima Yicong is a pure fake scout. Other scouts will carefully hide their traces to avoid being discovered by their opponents, but Baima Yicong never hides his scouts. He always rushes over to take a look. What is the situation of the other party, and then run away before the other party can react. Anyway, if you come back with accurate information, the investigation is successful.
Besides, the Baima rebels are a large group of people when they move. It is indeed unrealistic to let them hide collectively, so Urdu and others were on guard as they ran away in Baima.
Valley
"No, the white horse is too fast, and my arrows are solid arrows. The opponent has the power to drive the wind. I can still hit them at close range. If they shoot from such a distance, they will use the wind to blow them away." The horse's Falgon said helplessly.
Even if you rely on the double initial speed brought by the blessing of mental images, you are still very powerless against Baima Yicong. The opponent runs too fast, and he also has the ability to control the wind. This ability itself has a certain ability to protect against arrows. , not to mention Bai Mayi running from one side and doing maneuvers to dodge at the same time.
To be honest, every time he saw Bai Ma Yicong running like this, Falgon wanted to ask, aren't you afraid of breaking your legs when you run so fast and still make S turns?
"The other party noticed it before we even touched it." Urdu said with a face, "Kailash, I heard that you are also a strong man, tell me, what should I do next?"
"What else can we do?" Kailash said angrily, "It is impossible to retreat. If you find it, just find it. I will have people do a good job of reconnaissance. As long as you are not surrounded, it will be okay to fight with the Han army. Are you afraid of it?"
"I'm afraid of you, I've done it to the Xiliang cavalry before!" Ur said angrily, "When the time comes, we'll hit you in and out, don't stop, up to three waves, Falgon, you give us cover!"
"Arrow cover is no problem. Although my subordinates have not fully recovered, but under the stimulation of mental images, there is still no problem in rapid fire with light arrows. However, when encountering a large number of shield guards, they must retreat quickly. Rapid fire with light arrows will not affect the shield even if it reaches the speed of sound. The guard has no effect." Falgon said seriously. It is more powerful than the visual distance. Falgon is definitely the best, but it is useless.
When the fight was small in the early days, Falgon could still rely on heavy fang arrows to penetrate the shield and seriously injure the shield guard. However, as time passed, each shield guard learned to parry at a small angle.
The high-speed fang arrows themselves vibrate and drag in the air. When encountering a shield with a small inclination, they will turn into ricochet and fly away directly. Instead of using heavy fang arrows, use light arrows, and the shield guard's shield will directly fly away. Just block it hard. The super strong impact will cause the light arrow head to shatter and the arrow shaft to break due to the impact.
Therefore, Falgon clearly told the two brothers to retreat immediately when encountering a large number of shield guards.
"Both of us have seen that kind of thing. Besides, it is not in line with tactics for cavalry to charge heavy infantry." Kailash glanced at Falgon and said, "How many Praetorian Guards do you have?"
"It's less than a thousand, and I didn't ask Oswin to replenish it. Moreover, the talent structure of the royal archers is quite troublesome, and it's not easy to resmelt it, so I replenished some elite archers. With the blessing, the power is guaranteed, but don't hold out hope for bursts and breakthroughs this time." Falgon warned the two again.
Although he had said it before, Falgon felt that he still needed to warn him again.
In the past, when he was a pure imperial guard, Falgon's ultimate use was to fire twelve wolf fang arrows in one breath, which was enough to penetrate the shield of the shield guard. Without any scruples, such a blow could create a wave of explosive suppression. It is very meaningful for battlefield breakthroughs. It can provide sufficient support to comrades when they fall into the sea of shield guards.
But now that there are less than a thousand imperial guards left, forget about this kind of strategic level cover.
"Understood." Kailash raised his spear and said.
At the same time, the grumpy old brother Tian Yu has appeared on the horizon. Unlike Tian Yu, who has experienced countless hardships in the official history and has a strong character, Tian Yu now still has the violent temper of a young man. He came to Ganges just to kill The enemy, we Youzhou people are blessed to kill the barbarians.
"Charge!" Tian Yu held a spear in one hand and wore the same armor as an ordinary soldier. He led the Yuyang Cavalry and pulled a broad horizontal formation and rushed over at high speed.
These days, the quality of the standard armor of the Han army has reached the same level as that of the regular army and generals. The only difference is a little warmth.
Therefore, when Tian Yu, who was of normal height, fatness and thinness and had not yet deliberately raised a flag, rushed over in ordinary armor, not to mention the Kushan soldiers, acquaintances like Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Chen Xi could not find Tian Yu. Where.
Why don't you mention Guan Yu? Tian Yu's standard armor was given to him by Guan Yu, and in order to prevent Tian Yu from being hit by his will, Guan Yu also left a line of divine will on it. This thing is like a mark, and cannot be found if it does not exist.
"The Han army is too violent, and the formation this time is too scattered." Kailash said with a little ridicule, but Ur didn't say anything, just grabbed Kailash's shoulder and gave him a look. , only then did Kailash react and did not rush forward directly.
The vast horizontal formation stretches two kilometers across the ground. It is different from the forward arrow formation used in normal cavalry battles. The Yuyang Assault Cavalry's combat method combined with Tian Yu's experience has led to the conclusion that as long as the horizontal formation is used properly, , more useful than the front arrow array.
Although it was the first time for Urdu and Kailash to see such a wide and thin cavalry horizontal formation, neither of them panicked at all. They separated left and right, and rushed in the direction of Yuyang's sudden cavalry in an arrow formation. , with an aura ready to cut Yuyang Tuqi's horizontal formation into three sections.
On the contrary, Falgon felt vaguely that something was not good. He tried to shoot with a bow and arrow, but the Yuyang Tuqi was two kilometers wide and only seven or eight rows of staggered peaks in the vertical direction. How to aim the arrow was a very big problem.
When fighting in groups, archers shoot in an organized manner, because it is difficult for scattered attacks to hit such high-speed moving cavalry. But now with a two-kilometer horizontal formation, it is difficult to calculate the coverage of Falgon's arrow rain. Coupled with the vertical depth and movement speed, Falgon urgently tried two arrows and realized that it was difficult to contain the opponent.
The arrow rain is too concentrated, covering too few opponents and cannot be contained. The arrow rain is too scattered, losing the effect of forming a systematic strike, and cannot effectively contain the offensive.
How to determine a reasonable density in such a formation is not that easy, and the significance of high-speed cavalry assault is here. If you think about it for a moment, the opponent will already attack you.
Neither Urdu nor Kailash noticed this. They cut directly towards the Yuyang Cavalry's battle line with a sharp arrow formation. For a moment, the blood-red Great Asura Jingqi and Urdu wielding a slender sword were The headquarters of the capital collided with the Yuyang Tuqi who was carrying a screaming shock wave.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Tian Yu's mouth. Just as he had guessed, the cavalrymen who had not been hammered by him all saw their opponents in sharp arrow formation!
