Vol 2 Chapter 194: Hidden in the saddle

As Tan Yingzhi ’s order was shouted, several bowstring vibrations sounded, even if it was a few miles away from the mountain, it was clearly heard, showing the strength of the bow sender, followed by , Four or five bows and arrows, drawing a long and big curve, flying high in the air, and inserting them on the ground before and after the step array, the feathers of the arrow feathers are striking red, even if they are The location of Xuan et al. Can also be seen clearly.
Although Liu Tingyun was a military blind, he saw it more or less and laughed: "Is this a distance measurement, is it where the arrow is inserted, or how many steps before the departure?"
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, the farthest arrow shoots a hundred steps, the others are 80 steps, 60 steps, 50 steps." Speaking of which, her eyebrows fell, "How come There are thirty steps? According to the military system of Dajin, after fifty steps, the shooter sends out the last arrow to retreat. "
Liu Tingyun blinked: "Why is this?"
Huan Xuan was right: "Because the cavalry's assault speed is very fast, it is often said that the man shoots the horse first, the thief captures the king first, and there is a proverb in the army that says that the battle is not three arrows.
"Because the cavalry impacts from a hundred steps away, in front of you, it can only fire three arrows at the speed of the archers. The strongest archer can shoot beyond a hundred steps, which is the farthest position, but Generally speaking, even if it is shot here, it is the end of strength, and basically it will not kill. "
"To break the armor and kill the cavalry, generally the crossbowman needs 150 steps, and the archer needs less than 70 steps. And the distance from 70 steps to 30 steps is the timing of their arrows, the fastest speed That is, three to four arrows, and no more than five arrows. The enemy ride enters within 30 steps, which is the sprint stage. At this time, you must use your hand to reach the hard top, and the archer must retreat within 30 steps, so as not to Messy position! "
Liu Tingyun suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this, that is to say, only if the enemy cavalry rushed into the distance marked by these arrows, the infantry here would release arrows?"
Huan Xuan said with a smile: "That's why, you see, the enemy cavalry has reached a distance of two hundred steps. It should be the crossbowman now, and the first round of shooting."
Huang Fufu said suddenly: "No, son, I am afraid that Liu Yu is not going to use bows and arrows to solve the battle."
Huan Xuan's face changed: "Why do you see it?"
Huangfu put a finger in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu didn't even reject the horse, it seemed to be fighting directly with the cavalry, fighting in close quarters, and riding against each other step by step. A hard crossbow is a must, but Liu Yu ’s soldiers are heavily armored and hold long armies. There are few archers in the back row. I think he wants to fight the cavalry head-on! "
Huan Xuan's brows were tightly locked: "Ride by step, close combat? Has his brain broken?"
Huang Fufu suddenly looked at Sun Wujun: "General Sun, do you have any surprising ways to win today?"
Sun Wujun smiled slightly: "Everyone sit back and watch!"
While talking, I only heard the roar of the observers in the Beifu Army Infantry Phalanx: "The enemy is 150 steps away!"
Tan Pingzhi waved coldly. Fifty soldiers with crossbows drilled through the cracks of the queue. They picked up the strong crossbows in their hands and did not aim. They shot at the cavalry in front.
The sound of "fluttering" is endless. On these horses in white cloth armor, some small red dots will appear from time to time. These special crossbows, when they hit the horse's cloak or human armor, just There will be traces of red cinnabar, according to the judgment of the exercise, three places in the middle, that is, withdraw from the battle.
More than ten horses stopped slowly, while the other horses did not slow down. They rushed towards the front faster and faster, accompanied by the roar of the rangefinder in the infantry: "The enemy is 130 step!"
Tan Ping continued to wave his hand. The fifty crossbowmen in front quickly threw the empty crossbow in his hand, and the companion behind him handed a new crossbow that was put on the string. They took the crossbow and took a slight aim. It was fired forward, and after another crossbow string sounded, a faint red mist rose across, and the fifteen-six ride stopped.
Wang Miaoyin nodded thoughtfully: "That's it. Although the crossbow arrows are powerful and can go farther, they can only shoot directly. Second, it takes too much time to install the string. It takes time to reinstall the crossbow. The enemy rides. At least one hundred steps have come over, so they will change the crossbow in one shot, but the fastest. "
Liu Tingyun said strangely: "Well, Sister Wang, you said just now that you can take three to thirty steps from seventy to thirty steps. Why did you say that the crossbow arrows require more than one hundred steps at a time? Isn't it just a single arrow? "
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Miss Liu, what Miss Wang said just now is a bow and arrow, not a crossbow. The firing speed of the bow and arrow is very fast. An excellent archer can even copy five or six, or even a dozen arrows, in one hand. In the middle of the fingers, then quickly bowed and wound quickly. Just like these Huqi now! "
Huan Xuanshun pointed his hand, and saw the shadow cavalry who was approaching the infantry front quickly. On the horseback that looked empty, a lot of people suddenly appeared, all of them wearing leather hats and cloth armor, and some of them were shirtless. , But in everyone's hands, a big bow almost one person tall was copied.
Between their fingers, a long barred spiked arrow filled with white flowers, facing the opposite infantry array, was a burst of fire, and the formation that had just rushed to the front of the infantry began to rush towards the front right, around Starting an arc ~ EbookFREE.me ~ From a distance, it is almost this yellow long dragon, and it began to make a 90-degree turn in front of the enemy line!
There was also a red mist rising in front of the step array. A dozen red dots suddenly appeared on the body of more than ten crossbowmen. They threw down the crossbow arrows in their hands unwillingly and sat down dejectedly, showing their withdrawal. Yanwu.
Liu Yu sneered: "Sure enough, he was hiding in the saddle, and he directly used the light riding assault. He wanted to hit us by surprise, subpoenaed, held his guard, and shot it in the back row!"
Xie Xifeng, who stood beside Liu Yu, this clever kid became a herald of Liu Yu today. Since he would not be able to stand up, he would only roar by people. He ran forward quickly, facing fifty. The former army array outside the step shouted: "Send the slave to order, let go, shoot the bow and arrow!"
The crossbowmen quickly wiped out the third strong crossbow in their hands, and then spread out from both sides of the front of the array. The first row of more than 100 soldiers screamed and put down the long groves in their hands. Like a steel forest, the fine armor reflects white light and pierces the eye of the opponent's knight. From a distance, it is almost a bright source of light, which makes people unable to look directly.
And just after this row of archers, the two rows of archers lifted their arrows to the sky, accompanied by the sound of their respective teams' positive passwords: "Target eighty steps, three arrows fire!"
