It's not that the crossbow can't be ejected, but the shield guard can't calculate the ejection angle. Under such a powerful situation, if the angle is slightly off, it may directly pass over the opponent. Coupled with the secret technique mentioned by Cheng Ji, once it comes into contact with Guishuang, In battle, the crossbow, shield and guard are basically useless in plain terrain.
"That's not a problem. If we attack first, the crossbow machine can fire at least five or six rounds before the battle begins." Wu Yi said calmly, "Place the crossbow machine shield guard at the front."
"That way, when the opponent rushes over, the shield guard without a shield will not have an advantage." Yu Jin frowned and said. It is indeed a very good idea to put the crossbow shield guard at the front, and it can directly shoot flatly, and the hit rate is guaranteed. Six Seven waves, if you're lucky you can even kill two legions.
However, there are many shortcomings. The Kushan cavalry extending from both wings at high speed rush directly into the battle line of the crossbow shield guards. The shield guards without shield protection may not be able to block it.
"This is not a problem. I have also prepared the shield for the shield guard." Wu Yi patted his chest and said, "When the time comes, put the shield by your feet. After five rounds of volleys, just pick up the shield and short spear to fight. If that doesn't work, I can still fight with a large three-edged sword."
"I feel that General Wu has understood the essence of Chen Hou's battle." Guan Ping said with emotion, "If this is the case, there is no problem."
"The previous shields were probably a little mismatched." Yu Jin said casually, "But for things like shield guards, if the shields don't match, the impact is not big. If you only consider defense issues, this method is really fine."
After fighting five waves, the hundred-jin crossbow was thrown directly on the ground and the shield was lifted. Generally speaking, the crossbow would not be picked up by Guishang. This kind of weapon would not be used by Guishang unless he completely defeated Yu Jin. There is no way to pick it up, but it is even impossible to use. It is too heavy for ordinary soldiers.
"It's feasible." Xu Shu nodded. He also thought it was good. When the shield guards were changing their equipment, they eliminated a lot of 160 armors and planned to transfer them to soldiers who had received muscle-increasing injections, but the upper limit did not reach the level of elite shield guards. The second line of shield guards can now transport their shields and use them, which is not a big problem.
"We still have three legions of standard shield guards, which is enough anyway." Wu Yi explained. He also made a shield guard for his brother Wu Ban. To be honest, compared to other legions, Wu Yi still has I really think the shield guard is the most reliable.
It doesn't matter whether it's lethal or not, its survivability is really strong.
"Under this level of cloud suppression, the light infantry under my command may not be able to exert much combat effectiveness." Meng Huo said in a rare voice.
The light infantry under Meng Huo's command was ordered by Guan Yu. After all, Guan Yu's curly red rabbits were purchased from here, so when Meng Huo was training, he helped Meng Huo customize a regiment according to local conditions.
The talent structure is explosive gallop and steel body. It is a very strange light infantry. It is not very fast, but it is very effective in breakthroughs and confrontations. Of course, the most important thing is that it has strong survivability. These days, survivability is really Very important.
After the natural disaster, many of Meng Huo's soldiers fell. After gathering their family's connections in the mountains, they managed to recover. This time, they planned to accumulate some merits and create another area in Central and South to plant some heaven and earth essence grains. .
As a result, after crossing the river, Meng Huo was really confused when he felt this level of cloud pressure.
"Be conservative when the time comes. My uncle and I will serve as the central guard." Yu Jin thought for a while and said to Meng Huo and Guan Ping, "You two will guard the two wings, and General Wu will serve as the front guard."
Yu Jin doesn't have any good ideas. Guishuang's suppression of cloud energy is really outrageous. Even if he is full of confidence, Yu Jin still feels the need to be on the safe side. Let's see what the situation is like on Brah's side first, so as not to accidentally fall into it. , then it’s not worth it.
Taishi Ci, Wu Anguo, Chen Dao, Guan Ping and others all understood Yu Jin's thoughts after hearing this. This was a very conservative way of fighting, but no one present refused Yu Jin's proposal. After all, just looking at this super-scale cloud structure, their hearts If there is no pressure at all and you still look conceited, that would be hell. The Empire War has been going on for so many years, and everyone knows something about it.
"That's it, I'll order someone to report to the captain at the rear." Yu Jin saw that all the generals agreed and decided to inform the rear first.
Chen Xi and Liu Bei did not cross the river. In fact, both of them knew very well that no matter who of them went to the front line, it would greatly improve their own morale, but it would also cause a very serious harm to the Han Dynasty, just like the imperial commander's personal expedition. , Winning is good, but losing is miserable.
Therefore, although Chen Xi and Liu Bei went to the battlefield, they actually stayed in the safe zone.
In the first stage, the troops were divided into three groups. In addition to the Han army's group advantage, it was actually to clear out the safe zone and completely eliminate Guishang's ability to attack the areas where Chen Xi and Liu Bei were. , and they all stayed behind obediently.
Although both Chen Xi and Liu Bei have certain command capabilities, which are not weaker than those of frontline generals, they still know their own situation to some extent.
"Wen Ze actually went out of his way to compile and report the intelligence from the front line." Liu Bei smiled happily when He Zhen came over with the intelligence. In his opinion, there was no need for this. Since the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is Yu Jin, then Yu Jin Just use it on your own.
"What's the situation on the front line? The fighting was quite fierce when crossing the river. Xingba spent a lot of effort. Guishang's navy is indeed quite powerful." Chen Xilue asked curiously.
When crossing the river before, Chen Xi and Liu Bei watched from a distance. From the moment Gan Ning went upstream to block the river, to the time when the Kushan navy began to attack the troop transportation line, and then when Gan Ning repelled the Kushan navy, Chen Xi and Liu Bei did not fall behind at all during the whole process.
Generally speaking, river warfare is indeed Gan Ning's advantage. Guishang was beaten badly, but Yu Jin and others crossed the Ganges without any trouble.
Speaking of which, Chen Xi was originally worried that crossing the river would be the biggest trouble on the Balayaga battlefield. After all, there were various methods of warfare such as half-crossing and attacking, formations along the river to block enemy landings, etc. However, he did not expect that the crossing was so smooth.
Putting it into perspective, if Chen Xi were to take control of Baloyaka, for more than a year, even if he did nothing else, he would not have to repair the beacon tower. Chen Xi would also repair the banks of the Ganges near Baloyaka. Fully durable heavy-duty crossbow machine.
No matter who wants to cross the river from Baloyaga at that time, at least tens of thousands of people will have to be filled in. Even if the shield guards are invincible, they will not be able to withstand the hammering of the permanent heavy crossbow machine. After all, it is clear. I don’t know how to take advantage of the terrain advantage.
As for the lack of money, the majestic Brahmin ordered Vaisya to build a permanent crossbow fortress. What kind of money can be asked? Do you look down upon our mouth of Brahma?
"You should also take a look." Liu Bei handed it to Chen Xi after reading Yu Jin's detailed report.
"???" Chen Xi finished reading it in two seconds, and then looked at Liu Bei with a silly look on his face.
"What's your expression?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"I feel that there is absolutely no way to understand the guard of Baloyaka. With such a powerful cloud covering effect, why not build arrow towers and crossbow fortresses along the Ganges near Baloyaka? It's not helpful. Even a catapult will do." Chen Xi asked directly about his doubts, "Under this supermodel atmosphere, these things are much easier to use than others."
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, "You are right, but Guishang can't do it."
"Why can't it be done?" Chen Xi frowned, "Materials and technology are not problems for Kushan, so why can't it be done?"
"Because the people who want to build these on the river beach can't withstand the sudden attack of Baima Yicong. With Baima Yicong's mobility, it is basically impossible to be stopped when doing this kind of thing, and it is impossible for Kushan to invest a large number of legions to consume in This aspect." Liu Bei said calmly.
"Huh?" Chen Xi scratched his head, it seemed to make sense, "Then how was the beacon tower built?"
"The beacon tower extends from the inside to the outside. By the time it really extends to the point where our generals can observe it, it is actually too late, and the white horse is contained." After all, Liu Bei knows the small details of the battlefield better than Chen Xi, so The explanation is very clear.
"So that's the case, that's right. The purpose of building crossbow forts and archery towers is more to deal with the Han army crossing the river, so they can only be built on the river beach. When building on the river beach, Baima Yicong suddenly appeared, and there was really nothing we could do. Parry." Chen Xi understood the cause and effect instantly.
"In fact, during the decisive battle in Brahma, both Rahul and Zhu Helai proposed to establish a second line of defense based on Balayaga." Liu Bei explained, "If the Brahmins of Balayaga could listen at that time, Command, I’m afraid the defense line has already been established.”
"It's useless. The internal conflicts in Guishang were too great at that time. Nothing can be done." Chen Xi nodded after hearing this. He became more and more aware of the end of the empire. It was never because of strength or foreign wars, but internal strife. It was the core reason for the collapse of the empire.
"Let Zhong Kang go to Wenze's side. His performance there is more significant than here." Liu Bei suddenly said, "That kind of environment is very suitable for Zhong Kang's performance."
"Then let's go." Chen Xi nodded, "It's really not a problem to be stuck on the threshold of Tinghou. Being constrained by Xuande Gong, it is difficult to have the opportunity to be promoted based on military merit."
When Xu Chu received Liu Bei's order, he came over in person. As a bodyguard, Xu Chu did reach his limit to a certain extent. However, Liu Bei still felt that Xu Chu could not continue like this. His boundary-breaking strength was so wasteful. It's really a pity.
When he released Xu Chu from his side, Liu Bei had the idea of letting Xu Chu rely on his military exploits on the battlefield to become a prince. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei came to the Ganges River and Xu Chu became a guard again. This was not in vain. kindness.
"The Han army has successfully crossed the river." Brahe sighed and said. He originally planned to block the Han army on the river beach, but before Brahe could move, he received a message from Sinari saying that Yes, the Han army defeated them in a water battle.
Under the double cover of ships and white horse rebels, blocking the Han army on the river beach instantly became undesirable, and Brahe gave up the idea of wasting energy.
"They are setting up camp and sending scouts to conduct reconnaissance, but we have cut down all the nearby jungles so that every move of the other side can be observed." Banat explained.
"It's useless. The scouts you can see are only part of them. I don't know if the remaining scouts are hiding under the light and shadow, or some elites using special talents." Brahe waved his hand and said, "Let the adjusted ones Archers and heavy infantry were prepared to harass the Han army at night."
From a military point of view, the Han army that had just crossed the river was definitely at its most alert, and night fighting and sneak attacks were useless. However, before the Han army arrived, Brahe had prepared archers and heavy infantry to harass the Han army.
"Natala and the others are ready." Helilach said, "When the time comes, I will also use the Glory of the World to strengthen the gods and Buddhas they use, to a certain extent reverse the characteristics of the gods and Buddhas, and strengthen the overall strength."
"I think harassment may not be useful. The Han army will definitely deploy large-scale shield guards on the outermost edge. With those shield guards there, the soldiers resting in the center will not even wake up." Banat is still not optimistic about the so-called fatigue. Enemy harassment tactics.
Since there were large-scale shield guards, when the Han army fought, on the first night after entering enemy territory, the shield guards would definitely sleep on the outside, allowing other elite soldiers to recharge their batteries and ensure combat effectiveness.
The Han army even developed a so-called soundproof military array for this purpose. To be honest, it is very dangerous to use this kind of thing on the battlefield. It is true that you can sleep soundly, but you can't hear the sound from outside. Once you are attacked by a sneak attack, you will really react. Don't come.
But if there are shield guards sleeping with their clothes on outside, it is not a problem at all. As the old saying goes, if the opponent's annihilation of a large number of shield guards does not wake up other soldiers of the Han army, then the other soldiers of the Han army will not wake up. It's really not important.
Banat and others are also veterans who have fought against the Han army for many years, so they are not optimistic about Brahe's harassment tactics. No matter how much trouble you make, the other party may not have much reaction. This is not a plan to weaken the enemy.
"It's not so much harassment as it is to determine the size of the shield guards." Brahe was not upset by Banat's words, but instead explained.
"Other legions, with our current arrangement, will not be defeated even if they cannot win, but the Shield Guards are different. Under this kind of cloud, the Shield Guards are almost invincible, even if we prepare a sufficient scale of defense troops. But there are two types of defense troops, shield guards and others." Brahe explained calmly, "So first determine the size of the shield guards and then make detailed plans."
"In this case, I have no objection." Banat understood Brahe's thinking and no longer opposed Brahe's plan.
