In this battle, Xu Shu actually didn't have any good strategies. The siege war itself was the only way to fight, so Xu Shu had no choice but to take advantage of it.
This is also the reason why Fazheng did not follow this path. Ayotta City was demolished by Fazheng. Fazheng had many tricks in the field. Wouldn't it be nice to follow Guan Yu.
What's more, Fazheng and Guan Yu have spent a lot of time together. Both parties know very well that Yu Jin is a boring coquettish person. There is also a lot of dark history, and it is easy to be caught and framed by Yu Jin.
The Han army organized its troops very quickly. In fact, during the construction of the camp, Yu Jin had already considered the issue of sending troops in the face of the Kushan attack. The outer shield guards had been prepared early, and as Wu Yi After giving the order, he quickly took the equipment and attacked in the direction of the Kushan army.
"General, Kuishang is rushing towards us at the speed of a forced march." Just when Wu Yi led the leading shield guards to rush out of the camp and rush towards the direction of the Kushan army, wisps of light entangled together, Su Zong He suddenly appeared and reported to Wu Yihui with a solemn expression.
"You are so brave?" Wu Yi mocked, "You stand back, and the crossbow shield guards are arrayed, and be prepared for the first wave of ejections, and subsequent flat shots."
"The opponent's front row used a large number of thick wooden shields pushed by frame trucks, with a thickness of about 40 centimeters. I suspect that the medium-sized crossbows have lost their strike significance at a distance of two hundred steps." After Su Zong's last reconnaissance was killed, The information was sent urgently.
"The whole army is projecting!" Wu Yi looked a little solemn after hearing this, but he didn't feel bad about it. It was just a defense against horizontal fire, and it could only withstand a horizontal fire from a distance of two hundred steps. It was okay. When the time came, he would use a special armor-piercing spear. Two hundred steps is enough to fight the second wave, it’s not a waste!
Following Wu Yi's order, 15,000 rounds of spears and spears were directed towards the Kushan soldiers who had enlarged a lot on the horizon as the sun rose and covered them.
No matter whether his hit rate is 2% or 1%, it doesn't matter to Wu Yi. I will first shoot a bundle, which is a total of 22.5W rounds of ordinary spears.
Running from the opposite side at this distance, I will have no problem firing fifteen rounds of spears. Then I will string up the special armor-piercing arrows. When Kuishang reaches 200 steps, I will fire one first, then reload and then one more. Two rounds will be able to shoot evenly. Kill as many as you can! Throw the crossbow behind and mount the shield for melee combat. Why should I panic?
To be honest, this is also the reason why Wu Yi hurriedly pulled supplies from the rear after Yu Jin built the camp. The load of the shield guard is not low. Regular shield guards do not need to consider shooting issues, so the load will not change. However, every day of the crossbow shield guard A short spear is a heavy load.
Theoretically, 15 rounds of conventional short spears are already overloaded, but with the camp at the rear and direct calls, short-term overloading is not a problem at all.
"Cring the crossbow! Activate the secret art of anti-arrow!" Facing the covering spears and spears, Brahe ordered loudly, and the soldiers pushing the crossbows also naturally half-bent their bodies, allowing them to The shield on the front of the car faces the front with an inclination of thirty to forty degrees.
Fifteen thousand spears and spears were directly smashed down. When passing through the air shock layer, almost all the spears and spears showed changes in displacement and angle, but as Wu Yi said, he was using covering suppression. , it is not a precise shooting. You can use secret techniques to affect the accuracy. As long as it falls in the covered area, it will be a success.
Spears penetrated through, but all Kushan soldiers who were shot, except for a very few top-level gun and shield soldiers, could rely on experience to parry and rebound at a small angle to save their lives. Normal Kushan soldiers were shot directly. Wear it right.
The tragic death made the Kushan soldiers panic. Fortunately, the approximately 80,000 Kushan soldiers used the scattered formations used to defend against arrow throws during the Warring States Period, which further reduced the hit rate of the crossbows, but around 200 The loss number still gave Brahe a chill.
But then the soldiers pushing the carts reported the situation, which made Brahe suddenly relieved - the carts successfully blocked the short spears of the Han army. At this distance, hundreds of short spears hit the shield of the carts. The average penetration depth of spears is only 15cm.
Although this penetration depth is somewhat beyond Brahe's expectations, according to Brahe's long-distance ejection when practicing his medium-sized crossbow at that time, the penetration depth at this time should be about 13cm, and the average penetration depth of the Han army actually reached 15cm.
This 2cm penetration depth is enough to show that the power of the Han army's crossbow is nearly 20% higher than that of Kushan at the same size. This is a quite outrageous data.
However, Brahe was not surprised by this. After all, the crossbow was invented by the Central Plains people. It is normal for the technology to have certain advantages. Besides, when Kushan designed the carriage, he had a certain design margin. This penetration depth of 15cm can basically guarantee that you can push the cart to a position of about a hundred steps.
"Bang!" It was obviously the muffled sound of a bowstring, but at this moment there was a kind of thunder. Three thousand spears moved towards the general position of the Han army camp in front without aiming at it. Both parties using crossbows have sufficient knowledge of coverage strikes.
Faced with a crossbow attack of this size, the Han army did not have any good defense methods.
Although at this distance, most of the shield guards under Xu Chu can directly receive the crossbow strike, but not all the shield guards are like the strong men under Xu Chu. Therefore, facing such a blow, the soldiers of the Han army who were shot were actually Also very embarrassed.
But as Yu Jin said, with a hit rate of about 2% when ejecting, who is afraid of whom? Our Han army's spear density can reach 10 times that of yours. You shoot one wave, we shoot two waves, and rush forward. , see who can't stand it first.
"The eighth round of volley!" Wu Yi braved the rain of arrows and fired at Kuishang. At this time, it was up to him who could not withstand it first, but Wu Yi was confident that he would last longer than Kuishang.
After all, the archer’s ability to deliver arrows is, to put it bluntly, to see who has the stronger ability to deliver arrows and who is more resistant to attacks. Obviously, the Han Dynasty’s ability to deliver arrows is stronger. As for the ability to resist attacks, there are At this distance, the Kushan price of the car is basically half a pound.
"Adjust the angle of the crossbow and prepare to shoot flatly in the sight range and direction!" Brahe couldn't withstand it at the first step. The spear strikes from both sides were destructive attacks, and in terms of accuracy, not to mention hitting people, let's just say it was against the crossbow. In terms of damage, Wu Yi's accuracy is higher than that of the crossbow.
Starting from the fifth round, the crossbow shield guards led by Wu Yi began to attack the Kushan crossbow regiment despite the negative effects caused by various Kushan regiments.
Compared with human mobility and dodge ability, flat crossbows are easier to hit, so after roughly locking the position of the crossbow, Wu Yi directly focused the fire.
In each round, while killing hundreds of people, it can also knock out more than two hundred crossbows.
After all, the projection of a crossbow from top to bottom is at least equal to the projection of a dozen people standing together. The hit rate is much higher than that of a soldier. As for the crossbow, as long as the spear of a medium-sized crossbow is nailed on Above, the crossbow is basically useless.
On the contrary, the shield guard with a crossbow and a crossbow machine in Kushan cannot knock off the crossbow machine at all. The shield guard who can carry the crossbow machine with one hand and run around is exactly the same as normal whether it is maneuvering or dodging, so it can hit normally. The rate is still about 2% of that when the crossbow is ejected.
The Han army fired eight rounds, and the Kushan crossbows only fired three rounds. The Han army fired eight rounds and fired 120,000 rounds, and the Kushan chariots and crossbows fired less than 10,000 rounds. Not counting other messy things, the Han army While the army killed 2,000 people, it also disabled more than 700 crossbows.
To be honest, for the loss of two thousand people, Brahe could just grit his teeth and get over it. But more than seven hundred crossbows were nailed with spears. The loss was really unbearable. Therefore, after entering the visual range, he could carry out After the level shot, Brahe directly ordered the level shot.
The crossbow machine is most powerful only when shooting horizontally. Even if it enters the horizontal shooting area, opens the carriage front and fires at the Han army's more than 10,000 crossbow machine shield guards, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage. However, for the sake of the so-called follow-up war support, the company continues to I can't survive it now.
Brahe now has no doubt that they will use projectiles to suppress each other as before. By the time Kushan rushes to about two hundred steps, their crossbow army will probably only have about 500 crossbows left. At other times, it can be regarded as a powerful force, but facing the current situation of the Han army, I am afraid that it will not be defeated in one salvo.
"Squat down and shoot flat!" Wu Yi understood the opponent's plan when he saw Kuishang's crossbow battle line suddenly unfolding. The other party was preparing to use a large-scale crossbow to suppress the crossbow shield guard. At this distance, the crossbow fired flatly It was still enough to severely damage or even kill the shield guard, but even so Wu Yi decisively ordered the crossbow shield guard to squat down and shoot flatly.
The Han army's winding speed was very fast. Even if the Kushan crossbow troops were well prepared and delayed one shot before firing flatly after opening the front line, the Han army relied on this time difference to adjust their posture and forcibly completed the winding of their crossbows. .
More than two thousand rounds of spears and spears covered the Han army's frontmost shield guards in a smaller fan shape, while the Han army's nearly fifteen thousand rounds of short spears also roared along the straight passage towards The Kushan chariot and crossbow regiment facing him pierced through.
"Drop the crossbow in the front row and use the shield!" Wu Yi shouted loudly after the wave of short spears exploded. At this time, the half-crouching Han soldiers in the front row had already dropped their spears before Wu Yi roared. The crossbow machine lifted the shield on the side with one hand.
"Boom!" There were continuous explosions and various whines. This wave of attacks by the Han army directly severely damaged Guishang's crossbow corps. Leaving aside the personnel losses, the loss of crossbows directly exceeded 500. In other words, Wu Yi once again helped Guishuang liberate some 2,500 people from the chariot and crossbow army. Although many of the liberated guys were directly killed on the spot.
Similarly, the Han army's crossbow shield guards also suffered heavy losses at this moment. After all, Kuishang used a large crossbow driven by a group of five people. It was extremely powerful. It fired a volley from the front, and the front row shield guards could not dodge. Can rely on shield for defense.
At the limit of visual distance, a shield can protect against spears shot by a crossbow, but there is a prerequisite that the quality of the shield must be high enough.
However, the problem lies here. The shields used by the crossbow shield guards are all the 160 shields they used before. Although this kind of shield is enough to restrain most normal opponents, it is difficult to use it to catch the spear of the crossbow at a visual distance. A blow, that's really unrealistic.
Therefore, in the face of more than 2,000 spears and spears, the casualties of the crossbow and shield guards in the front row of the Han army directly exceeded 400, and this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that wearing shield guard armor, they are no different from small soldiers. Wu Yi was shot by Guishang's crossbow.
Originally, as the commander of the Han Dynasty's army, even if he was hit by a crossbow, he could continue to command after using injections for emergency treatment. However, Wu Yi's big trap was the type of person who went to Shenxiang for nothing. To put it simply, Even so, this guy still practiced Qi to become a gang.
As a result, because he was standing closer to the front, his bodyguard used a small angle to successfully parry the Kushan spear from the opposite side. The spear that was shot at high speed rebounded to the side with residual kinetic energy, and Wu Yi happened to be right here, so he was almost alive. He directly shot Wu Yi through.
To be honest, even if his arm or leg is cut off, Wu Yi can continue to command with the help of certain painkillers. After all, the Wu family has nothing else. They are very rich and have obtained many good things. In addition, these Putting Wu Yi into the battle was just to show off in front of Liu Bei.
After all, Wu Yuan is now Liu Bei's concubine. Of course, the capable uncle must go to the battlefield to show his awareness of fighting for the country. Wu Yi even prepared some injuries to prove that he was indeed the target. , go deep into the front line.
This is also why Wu Yi is relatively far forward when commanding. Although this is indeed done to make it easier to command, in fact, there are indeed some small thoughts in it.
Of course, since he had the idea of being the target and going deep into the front line, Wu Yi specially brought a group of elite backbones and brought himself various medicines that would not affect his command even if he was injured. As a result, the elite backbones were worthy of being elite backbones. , the shield blocked the super powerful strike of the crossbow, but the elite backbone blocked it, and Wu Yi couldn't even block the residual power of the rebound...
What's even worse is that Wu Yi thought about various ways to be injured, but never thought about being shot through. Wu Yi, who was nailed to the ground, was in pain, losing blood, and starting to have a confused consciousness. There are only a few words left.
Therefore, Wu Yi fell in a pool of blood. The first words heard by the personal guards and the elite backbone who came to protect him were to ask Wu Ban to take command in his place. The crossbow machine shield guards advanced with their crossbows and fired flatly, trying their best to suppress the Kushan crossbows. The legion must not retreat!
Wu Yi's final order was effectively executed. After all, the shield guards had strong self-management capabilities and strong organizational skills. Not to mention that General Wu Yi's orders were treated very well by them. Naturally, in the emergency of the standard shield guards, When carrying away the injured comrades, all the crossbow shield guards raised their crossbows and attacked the opposite side.
