Chapter 668: : Against the Cavalry

The genius remembers this site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! After seeing Chen Dao’s response, Tian Yu nodded slightly. Chen Dao’s generals are mainly strong crossbowmen. Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows are more precise in shooting, which can cause greater damage to the cavalry that charges. Of course, the most feared by such an army is the approaching enemy.

Whether it is an archer or a crossbowman, the most fearful thing is close combat. Only by keeping a certain distance can they exert greater power. The training of the crossbowman is simpler in Tian Yu's view, and the archer is more. Test the abilities of soldiers.

However, among the crossbowmen under Chen Dao’s command, he felt something different, that is, the aura that the ordinary army did not possess. If it weren’t for the fact that the soldiers under Chen Dao’s command had been trained soon, no one would think that this was a kind of thing. An army that has just gone through the battlefield.

"Let it go!" Chen Dao drew out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly.

Following Chen Da's order, the shield soldier at the front squatted down hurriedly, and the more than 300 soldiers in charge of the first round of shooting released their crossbow arrows.

The horse galloping, at such a distance, the lethality of the crossbow arrow is huge, and the cavalry on the war horse has not had time to release the arrow in their hand, and the crossbow arrow is ushered in. They did not expect that the crossbow arrow will have such a range. Zhiri, the range of the crossbow arrow is about a hundred steps, not more than the bow arrow.

Chen Dao also concealed something before. After all, the crossbow arrow with a range of up to 110 steps is too terrifying. This kind of strong crossbow is after imitating the Qin crossbow. If the Qin crossbow production method is obtained, wouldn't it have more Long range.

The range of one hundred and ten is also the source of Chen Zhi's confidence. As long as he can shoot a steady stream of crossbow arrows outside the range of the cavalry, it will be difficult for the enemy cavalry to approach, and it is even more difficult for the enemy to cause damage.

After the soldiers in the first round shot the crossbow arrows in their hands, they immediately squatted down and filled the crossbow arrows with dexterity. In the second round, the crossbowmen released the crossbow arrows in their hands.

It was also the first time that Gongsunyu saw such an army. It was composed of crossbowmen. The power was indeed not comparable to that of an ordinary army. What shocked him most was the range of the crossbow arrows. After possessing the stirrups, Gongsunyu could feel the combat power of the cavalry under his command. However, under the continuous crossbow arrows, many Liaodong cavalry fell off their horses, and a hundred steps in front of Chen Dao’s department, there was a vacuum zone, which was difficult for the cavalry to approach.

Even if the Liaodong cavalry are superb in riding skills, they still seem to be inadequate in the face of crossbow arrows. Besides, even if the cavalry can resist the crossbow arrows, can they help the horses resist the crossbow arrows? Once the cavalry loses the horse, it is not much different from death.

At this time, the soldiers under Chen Zhi's command were like killing gods who reaped the lives of cavalry on the battlefield, with crossbow arrows everywhere, and cavalry falling.

Gongsunyu waved the long knife in his hand and led a hundred cavalry to kill. He wanted to tell Chen Dao with facts that even if the soldiers under his command were well equipped, they were pawns after all. In such a battlefield, the cavalry is the real king. .

Gongsunyu's bow and horse are skillful. Although several crossbow arrows aimed at him, they were easily shot down for him. Even at a distance of less than a hundred paces, the cavalry who followed Gongsunyu did not dare to replace the blades in their hands with bows and arrows.

Chen Dao's eyes were slightly narrowed, and he whispered to Zhao Wu.

Gongsunyu also found the law of crossbow arrow firing. From Chen to the continuous ups and downs of the soldiers under his command, you can see whether the opponent will shoot deadly arrows and avoid them carefully. It might not be impossible to get close to the crossbowmen.

However, this time, Gongsun Yu opened his eyes wide and dozens of crossbow arrows came towards him. Although he tried to swing the long knife in his hand, the dense crossbow arrows shot the war horse under him. The war horse suffered from pain. Leaping high, in panic, Gongsunyu jumped up from the horse, jumped to the horse of a cavalry next to him, and slapped the horse with a knife on the back. At this time, he was only 50% away from Chen's army. Step distance.

The speed of the horses was very fast. After two crossbow arrows, they approached Chen Dao's army, while the Liaodong cavalry in front of Gongsunyu was dying.

"Change formation!" Chen Dao gave the order with a calm expression.

The shield soldiers who had originally squatted on the ground stood up and erected the huge shields in their hands. Under the shining of their eyes, the shields reflected a little bit of light. Unlike the shields in the hands of ordinary soldiers, these shields are all made of iron and can withstand huge This is also an important means for Chen to resist the cavalry.

The trapped camp can resist the cavalry charge with a shield, and Chen Dao believes that his soldiers can do the same.

Chen Dao’s soldiers changed their formations, which greatly reduced the pressure on the cavalry under Gongsun Yu’s command. They waved their weapons and killed them. The charge just now caused them to lose a hundred people. This is great for the cavalry. shame.

Without Chen’s order, when the enemy’s cavalry rushed forward, the pikemen behind the shield struggling to stab their long spear forward. In past battles, they were more useless roles, so that they talked about fighting in the robe. When I was a little ashamed The two shield soldiers turned red to resist the impact of the horses. Once the horses charged, the power of the horses was huge. It was a little chaotic, and such a gap also gave the Liaodong cavalry a chance. They didn't wait for the crossbowmen in the camp to show off their might, they rushed forward desperately.

Chen Dao carefully observed the battlefield. He wanted to find out the shortcomings in the real battle. Only by controlling the defects could he become a true elite. The shield soldier was knocked into the air, and Chen Dao frowned slightly. He picked it out. Shield soldiers are all the more powerful soldiers in the army.

After the initial panic, the shield soldiers, crossbow arrows, and spearmen gradually became closer together.

Seeing this situation, Chen Dao's brows gradually eased. This is the first time his crossbowmen have had such close contact with the cavalry. Such a battle is a valuable experience for the crossbowmen. Panic, next time facing the same situation, the crossbowmen can remain calm, even if the cavalry is close, they can also respond effectively.

"Fight for the glory of Youzhou Army!" Chen Dao shouted.

The soldiers in the field immediately felt passionate when they heard this. They are the Youzhou Army, the invincible Youzhou Army. From the first day of enlistment, they have been instilled with such a belief, and now this belief will be cruel. Realized on the battlefield, no retreat is allowed.

The casualties of more than a hundred crossbowmen also made the rest of the crossbowmen quarrel with the enemy. They wanted to use the blood of the enemy to avenge the dead soldiers, and the blood of the robe could not be flowed in vain.

Gongsunyu’s crossbowmen had more than ten lives. With a long knife in his hand, Gongsunyu was an invincible warrior. However, he was surprised to find that the enemy did not have a slightly disorganized formation and was in a panic. Instead, he burst out more. For a strong combat power.
