"Swoosh swish swish"

"Puff puff puff"

Accompanied by a burst of sharp arrows, the sound of sharp arrows piercing into the sky.

Poor those heroes, most of them are not wearing armor, and most of them are only wearing a few layers of linen clothes. How can they block the sharp and fierce crossbow arrows?

It seems that as long as the crossbow soldiers on the opposite side pulled the trigger of the crossbow tool in their hands and shot the crossbow arrow, a corresponding number of heroes would immediately be shot. If they are lucky, they would not endanger their lives if they were hit by the crossbow arrow. If they were lucky, they would be shot directly from their chest, abdomen, neck, or even their faces, and they could only wail and wait for death.

To be fair, heroes are not unfamiliar with crossbow arrows. As the "most despicable weapon", crossbow machines have many advantages such as simple operation and strong medium-range power. Although the range may not be as far as the powerful bows in the hands of some fierce men, they have the ability to hunt warriors. As long as they use this weapon, even weak soldiers have a great chance to kill a brave soldier.

But relatively speaking, crossbows also have their weaknesses. For example, they need to be maintained regularly on weekdays and are prone to failures. The most important thing is that they cannot be continuously fired in a short period of time.

A well-trained archer can shoot an arrow in one breath, and ten breaths can burst out with amazing lethality. Although after this explosion, even the most powerful archer needs to breathe for a while and get back the power.

However, crossbow tools do not have the ability to explode like bows and arrows, because it loads crossbow arrows, and it takes more than ten breaths for soldiers with slow hands and feet.

This is very deadly on the battlefield, because in more than ten breaths, it is enough for the enemy soldiers to sprint forward dozens of feet away. If the oncoming target is the enemy's combat chariot convoy, then the crossbowmen may only have a chance to shoot a volley, and will soon face the massacre of the enemy's combat chariot convoy.

This is the biggest weakness of crossbow tools on the battlefield.

Because of this, when crossbowmen appeared in front of Xinwei Army, the heroes and brave men of Mu Xiao were not afraid, because they thought they had a chance to win. As long as they could rush into the formation of Xinwei Army, the crossbowmen on the opposite side would lose the threat. At that time, the two sides started a melee. How could those ordinary soldiers be their swordsmen who knew superb swordsman skills?

However, the soldiers of Xinwei launched two crossbow arrows within ten breaths, which directly stunned the heroes.

Isn’t crossbow tools not being fired in a short period of time?

Why can Xinwei’s crossbows be fired in a short time?

Even, it's simply endless?

『Did Zhao State have developed a crossbow that can be fired continuously?』

Xiayong Mou Xiao was a little panicked for the first time, but he still loudly encouraged the heroes around him and motivated them to rush towards the enemy.

However, the crossbow in the hands of Xinwei Army on the opposite side seemed to have the ability to fire continuously, and launched the third volley in a very short time, so dozens of heroes were immediately shot.

What a joke?!

Before we could touch the other party, more than a hundred casualties had occurred on our side.

“This is not fair!”

At the same time, on the side of the king and minister of Zhao who were watching the gambling battle, Tian Wen's guest Feng Xian also saw this incredible scene and shouted loudly: "Zhao Master's father, the Xinwei Army of Meng Sima of your country, is equipped with a crossbow machine that can be launched continuously. Now he uses the power of this crossbow machine to kill the heroic bravery. This is not a fair competition at all!"

“…”

Master Zhao ignored Feng Xi, but he just stared at the distance with a moving expression.

Not only him, but also like Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui, Yangwen Jun Zhao Bao, including Gongzi Zhang and his subordinates, even Feng Guanzi, Pang Nuan, and Pang Nuan's deputy general Ju Xin, the vast majority of the ministers of Zhao State were staring at the Xinwei Army in the distance, with surprise and confusion on their faces.

Because they all knew that the Xinwei Army had no crossbow machine that could be launched continuously. This weapon that only exists in imagination has not even been developed in Korea, which is best at building crossbow tools, let alone Zhao State?

Those crossbows were just the military-made mass-produced crossbows commonly used by Zhao State.

"Mr. Anping?Mr. Fengyang?"

It was obviously such an unfair scene, but Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Du and others did not speak for him. Wei Chu, Feng Xi and Tian Wen's guest officials had already vaguely felt something was wrong, but at this moment, they didn't have time to think about it.

Following Feng Xi, Wei Chuyi asked Zhao Xiang Feiyi with a heartbroken expression: "Fei Xiang, the Xinwei Army of Meng Sima used your country's continuous crossbow to slaughter Xue Gong. Are you standing by and watching? I'm so frankly saying that this is not a fair gambling battle at all. Even if Meng Sima wins this gambling battle, he will definitely be scolded by the people of the world!"

Seeing Feng Xi, Wei Chu and Tian Wen's guest officials flushed with anger, Zhao Xiangfei Yi shook his head and said to Wei Chu: "Sir, calm down. The fact is not as you think. Xinwei has no crossbow tools that can be fired continuously..."

"What?" Wei Chu was shocked. After reacting, he subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible! Xinwei Army clearly..."

He pressed his hand to tell Director Wei to be calm. Fei Yi explained seriously: "I don't know what Xinwei Army did, but I, Zhao State, really does not have the crossbow tools that can be fired continuously as my husband said... If the gentleman cannot trust me, after this matter, he can check with Xinwei Army. What is the truth at that time will be clear at a glance."

“…”

Seeing that Fei Yi was so sincere and determined, Wei Chu, Feng Xi and others looked at each other.

Is it really as Fei Yi said that the Xinwei Army does not have any crossbow tools to launch continuously?

But if this is the case, how could the Xinwei Army do several consecutive volleys in a short period of time?

When Director Wei asked this question, Fei Yi smiled and said, "This is also my question."

At the same time, Feng Guanzi was also asking, or testing his disciple Pang Nuan's eyesight: "Disciple, do you see a clue?"

Pang Nuan nodded.

It is necessary, among the onlookers, there may not be a few people like him, focusing on the actions of the Xinwei Army from beginning to end. This is no wonder. After all, since Meng Zhong made a feat, Pang Nuan has regarded this confidant, who is a few years younger than him as a strong enemy who is moving towards the "art of military strategy" together.

Therefore, he could see clearly: there were about two hundred crossbow soldiers holding crossbow tools in the Xinwei Army. These people were divided into two teams. The crossbow soldiers in the front knocked on the ground with one knee and squatted on the ground, and the crossbow soldiers in the back stood upright.

Such a formation can allow the two teams of two hundred crossbowmen to launch volleys at the same time.

However, the Xinwei Army did not do that. Each time there were only half of the two hundred crossbowmen who launched a volley: after the front team crossbowmen shot, they quickly loaded the crossbow arrows, and in this gap, the crossbowmen in the back team launched a volley; after the back team crossbowmen had finished launching a volley, the crossbowmen in the front team had basically loaded the crossbow arrows.

It was like this that people mistakenly thought that the Xinwei Army had crossbow tools that could be fired continuously.

But in fact, this is just the cleverness of military tactics and tactics.

"What a terrible tactic..."

Pang Nuan's deputy general Ju Xinyi saw the clues and smacked her lips and couldn't help but say, "There are still too few crossbow soldiers in Xinwei. If it is increased tenfold to reach two thousand people, even if there are five thousand soldiers in the enemy army, I'm afraid that they can't escape ruthless shooting?...Yu Guanzi, Brother Pang Nuan, have you heard of similar tactics?"

Wu Guanzi shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Xin Weijun in the distance, and said with some praise: "It was probably the tactic that Meng Zhong thought of himself... Although this kid is a disciple of Master Zhuang, he is still a little restless. Such a terrifying tactic is actually used to fight against Tian Wen and his disciples... It's a pity."

In his opinion, Meng Zhong's set of tactics can be kept as a killer move on the battlefield, and only used for a 500-man formation. Wu Guanzi sincerely felt that this set of tactics was not worth it.

"I'm still young..."

After shaking his head, Feng Guanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If it were me, I would probably hide it tightly, so that it was enough to deserve this set of tactics... But young people just need this kind of sharpness!"

Pang Nuan nodded slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, the heroes in the field in the distance had already rushed to a distance of only twenty feet away from the Xinwei Army.

Because, as Pang Nuan said in his conversation with Ju Xin, among the 500 Xinwei Army, only 200 people acted as crossbow soldiers. In order to continue to attack those heroes from a long range, the Xinwei Army only had one hundred crossbow soldiers shooting at each time. This means that the lethality of the crossbow soldiers is insufficient and not enough to block all the heroes. If the Xinwei Army's crossbow soldiers doubled, the Xinwei Army might be enough to kill all the five hundred heroes on the opposite side just using crossbow tools.

『…Is it too stable?

At this time, in front of Xinwei Army, Zuo Sima Leyi stood in a chariot and frowned slightly.

The Xinwei Army was built by the Zhaowu soldiers based on the Wei Wu soldiers. In fact, each soldier has the combat capabilities of long spears and crossbow machines at the same time. Therefore, even if the number of crossbow soldiers is increased to 400, this is completely omnipotent.

However, since Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others did not understand the strength of the heroes on the opposite side, they did not dare to be arrogant, so they decided to fight with the organization of 200 Changge, 200 crossbow soldiers and 100 chariot soldiers to prevent the crossbow soldiers from seizing the opportunity after the tactics of the war, and in turn, they slaughtered the soldiers of the Xinwei Army.

After all, the Xinwei Army tried to use the tactics that Meng Zhong had named him for the first time, and the soldiers had no practical experience in this, so Le Yi decided to fight more steadily.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it has to be said that they are a little too cautious, and the heroes on the opposite side are really brave but unscheming. They only know that they have no tactics to rush forward.

"Well, just treat it as a practical training."

Thinking of this, Le Yi stood in the military chariot and raised his right hand, shouting in a deep voice: "Change formation!...Crane Wing formation!"

Hearing Le Yi's order, the two rows of crossbow soldiers in front quickly retreated, while the two rows of soldiers holding long spears in the back quickly penetrated into the front of the formation, raising the long spears in their hands neatly and orderly.

The formation that Xinwei Army quickly completed in just a dozen times in the blink of an eye made the Zhao king and ministers of Zhao kings and King He on the side of Zhao, and the Zhao kings and ministers could not help but exclaim.

You should know that the most taboo thing on the battlefield is to change the formation before the battle, because once the minds of some soldiers are affected by the atmosphere of fighting on the battlefield, delaying the formation of the entire army, which will lead to loopholes in the formation, and even confusion among their own soldiers, which will directly affect the entire battle situation.

Therefore, the more the generals who are experienced in many battles, the less they dare to change their formations in the battle, and then continue to fight. If the formations are disintegrated, they will retreat temporarily and make a comeback tomorrow.

As for changing formations before the battle, changing formations to adapt to the battlefield, only generals who are full of confidence in themselves and their soldiers dare to do so.

But it has to be said that in many cases, changing the formation before the battle is a matter of seeking death, especially on a large-scale legion battlefield where both sides have tens of thousands of troops.

"At the time of battle, you're changing into a formation... so confident!"

After seeing the Xinwei Army transformed into a formation, the king and ministers of Zhao had different expressions.

In fact, whether an army is elite does not only refer to its lethality, but also includes factors such as "obeying orders" and "executing orders".

In this regard, the Xinwei Army's actions were really quick and skillful.

It seemed as if no soldier was influenced by those fierce and vicious heroes, and each of them was honestly acting in accordance with the orders, such an army could already be called elite.

"It seems that Tian Wen's bravery with his teeth and claws cannot affect the soldiers of the Xinwei Army... Yes, Xinwei Army is not a new soldier. These people have experienced five hundred people attacking tens of thousands of people at night, so how could they be scared by the same number of heroes? It really has trained a reliable army..."

Looking at Xin Weijun on the court from afar, Master Zhao nodded secretly, with a look of praise in his eyes.

In fact, Pang Yan, Ju Xin, and his two men were also very outstanding. Zhao Zhufu also inspected the Tan Wei army with a scale of 5,000 people.

But in comparison, Zhao Zhufu still thinks Meng Zhong and Le Yi are even better.

Whether in terms of military training or the application of military tactics and tactics.

Now, after the Xinwei Army completed the formation change, anyone who was watching the Zhao king and minister could see that the heroes had completely fallen into a disadvantage: the Xinwei Army's front line had changed from crossbow soldiers to long-spee soldiers, and the two hundred crossbow soldiers quickly deviated to their wings, like the wings of cranes, and raised the crossbows in their hands again towards the heroes in the field.

"Road over! Rude over!"

In front of the Xinwei Army, Xia Yong Mouxiao shouted with great enthusiasm, inspiring his heroes to tear the Xinwei Army's formation apart.

But unfortunately, the heroes could not break through the dense long spears of the Xinwei Army.

It is no wonder that after all, the sharp swords in their hands are only three feet long at most, while the long swords in the hands of the soldiers on the opposite side of the Xinwei Army are higher than those of the people. As the saying goes, one inch longer and one inch stronger. When two hundred Xinwei soldiers raise the long swords, it seems like a natural barrier. Any brave man who dares to step into this distance will be stabbed to death by these long swords.

"clang!"
