Chapter nine hundred and fifty seventh breaking the formation (sixteen)

The existence of any military branch has its advantages and disadvantages.

The crossbow has great power but is difficult to load. The crossbowman must rely on infantry protection to exert combat power, and the same is true for cavalry.

As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch strong, the cavalry general holds a long soldier, and the impact force of the war horse is added, and the two forces are combined to achieve an invincible effect.

The power of destroying and rottenness is unstoppable, and with a piece of armor, it is even more of a symbol of the top combat power of this era.

But even so, he is by no means without weaknesses.

The long soldiers pay attention to simplicity, directness and strength, and lack the skill of changing.

In other words, it is not surprising that a cavalry with high martial arts skills can charge and kill an opponent who is also famous for his courage. At most, he can praise a real hero.

But it would be too strange to use weapons to knock down crossbow arrows.

You should know that the attack speed of crossbow soldiers is slow and they also need protection from friendly forces. The range of the crossbow is weaker than that of the bow and arrow.

If there was no advantage, this army would have been eliminated long ago.

The moment the crossbow arrow shoots out, its speed and lethality are enough to make up for all shortcomings.

Even a general who is famous for his bravery will at most be unfortunately shot by a hard crossbow and can still grit his teeth and continue to fight. Otherwise, he will be lucky and has never been shot by a crossbow arrow after many battles.

As for avoiding crossbow arrows, I have never heard of this, let alone using weapons to parry.

The moment you saw the crossbow arrow, the cold light had already arrived in front of you. What should you use to hide?

As for parrying, it requires that the speed of the warrior is not as weak as that of the crossbow machine. Is this a human or a god?

It is said that warriors do not believe in evil, but in fact, warriors are also human beings. How can they be completely different from others?

It’s not that the warriors do not believe in evil, but that they do not believe in unproven power.

The more powerful a warrior is, the more he understands the power and recognizes the power from the bottom of his heart.

Compared to language or thought, warriors believe in real power performance.

It doesn’t matter how powerful you are. As long as you can show it, I believe you, and I don’t believe it on the other hand.

These Xiaoguo Army are brave men themselves, and have seen many life-and-death battles, and they know the limits of their power more clearly than most people.

It is also true that when Xu Leshi used this method comparable to ghosts and gods, his psychological shock to them was far beyond ordinary people.

If ordinary people see it, their first reaction may be that this person has supernatural powers or is a heavenly soldier and general.

The reactions of these Xiaoguo Army were much simpler: this person is brave and cannot be defeated by us! It is not possible for General Yuwen to take action personally! Of course, not all the crossbow arrows shot towards Xu Le alone, and not everyone has his ability.

In fact, even Xu Le himself cannot always maintain this state.

After a contest with Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin before, Yu Wudao's understanding has reached a higher level, and he is furious about Li Yan's capture.

The combined force of two moves has enabled my state to reach a new peak at this moment.

It was clearly a crossbow arrow that was as fast as lightning, but it became very slow in my eyes, and I could even see its flight trajectory clearly.

The spear in your hand was like catching dragonflies with a copy net when you were a child. Although it was still difficult, it was not impossible.

With a few crisp sounds, the crossbow arrow shot at him had already landed. Even the target was not him, but the crossbow arrow that was also within the attack distance of the big spear was hit.

But no matter what, there were still more than a dozen crossbow arrows passing by in front of them and shooting towards the military formation behind them.

Of course, the others did not have Xu Le's means, but this does not mean that they had no way to deal with it.

Xu Le is not a warrior who only knows the courage of a man, nor is he who treats his subordinates' lives as a joke for personal pleasure.

He fought for his life to survive rather than to die. The reason why his subordinates recognized him was that they knew that their leader would never deliberately exchange his life for anything.

The military orders issued must have a reason. Even if they seem to be ordering to die, there must be a way of life, or if they have to fight for a way of life for the entire army.

Because of this, Xu Le's fingers in his palm, his subordinates would move forward bravely! Xu Le naturally knew what weapons could pose a threat to his armored cavalry.

This is especially true after seeing the power of Wanjun crossbow in Chang'an.

So during training, I specially practiced how everyone deals with crossbow attacks.

Although this kind of training does not mean that you can really face a crossbow without any injury, it is much better than being completely unprepared.

What's more, the one in the first row of the team is the group with the highest martial arts skills in the Xuanjia Army.

Even if it is not Han Yue and Song Bao, he is at least a good player who can kill warriors who are good at fighting.

The skill of Li Shimin's subordinate Li Bao is not qualified to be selected, so he knows how great these people are.

With their preparations, sparse crossbow arrows cannot pose a threat.

Either wave a weapon to block it, or suddenly lift the reins and jump into the air, you can avoid crossbow arrows.

Han Yue even held the big shield tightly to provide protection for the war horses. The two crossbow arrows hit the shield almost indistinguishable from front and back at the same time. There was only a crisp sound that two sparks flew everywhere. One crossbow arrow was broken and flew out and didn't know where it was going. The other was inserted into the shield, but it didn't go in half, but it did not cause any more damage.

The first row of crossbows fired in the volley of the crossbow did not cause damage to the Xuan Armored Cavalry! No matter whether it is the weapon like the crossbow itself or the crossbowman who operates these weapons, it is impossible to have such a result.

Even though the Xiaoguo Army was knowledgeable, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they saw this scene.

If this armored cavalry has such a method, his formation... seems to be too thin.

However, the battlefield never gives people the opportunity to think or regret. Seeing that the first wave of crossbow arrows was ineffective, these Xiaoguo Army had to hold the spear in their hands tightly and prepare to deal with the next rush.

Fortunately, there are also objects such as horses, wooden fences, and so on in front of them. No matter how brave these armored horses are, they cannot fly over from above, right?

The power of cavalry lies in their speed and impact. As long as they can slow them down, there may be a turning point.

Besides, as long as you strive for one or three more moments, these crossbowmen can complete the loading and launch a second round of attacks.

No matter how clever the other party's methods are, you can still avoid crossbow arrows within a distance that is almost close to your face?

Just as these Xiaoguo soldiers held their spears tightly and prepared to fight, they heard a strange sound of horns from the Xuanjia Cavalry. Then they saw that although the speed of the cavalry was still unchanged, the cavalry had gently pulled the reins, and the war horse turned around in front of them, turned around, and turned around in front of the formation! That's not all, just as the cavalry completed the turn, all the Xuanjia generals hung the soldiers on the horse from Xu Le, then took off their bent bows, pulled out the carved feathers from the bag, and put the bows on the moon to prepare for firing! When did these Xuanjia Cavalry learn to use arrows?

As the ultimate form of cavalry in this era and even the standard for measuring the hard power of power, cavalry equipped has always been known for its gorgeousness in equipment.

In addition to the armor on himself and the mount, the straight swords on his waist and short weapons such as whips, maces, and bones, long-range weapons such as bows and arrows will naturally be equipped.

Sitting on a bow and sitting on a spear, and horse stepping on a glacier is the ultimate romance of an armored cavalry.

However, since the Xuanjia Cavalry formed an army, all the achievements of the battle were based on charge and hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, this wall-style charge tactic itself is conducive to melee combat and hand-to-hand combat.

Besides, heavy cavalry is different from light cavalry. The armor, horse armor and the weight of the cavalry are placed on horses. The war horse is also a flesh-and-blood body that cannot be carried by a camel for a long time.

The light cavalry on the grassland can gallop and roar and shoot and attack because they have no clothes themselves and the burden of war horses is much smaller.

If the heavy cavalry plays like this, it won’t take long to lose the strength of the war horses, and it will be no more than the loss.

So whether it was Li Mi or these Xiaoguojun, they subconsciously regarded the bow and arrow worn by Xuanjiao as decorations.

It was not until now that they saw them pulling their bows and arrows that they realized that something was wrong, but it was too late! Xu Le also pulled the bow in his hand and pulled the bow Ruyue. Although the face covering had some effect on his vision, it would make his aiming less convenient.

But for a general like him, this impact is basically negligible.

Wherever his eyes were, there was a Fructus Crossbowman who was bent down to load.

I have to thank Li Mi for this method of setting up the formation, which saved the crossbow soldiers from the shields of their neighboring troops, but they saved them a lot of effort.

Although the war horses are always moving, and the slight bumps on the horse have an impact on the accurate head, when facing such an enemy, this impact is nothing! The reason why I didn't rush to shoot the arrow just now was to lead the crossbow of the Xiaoguo Army to shoot so that I can know who the crossbow is.

Since it is exposed, don't think about living! The bowstring in Xu Le's hand moves easily, and the arrow appears like a meteor! The slight crisp sound of the bowstring rebounds, like a light thunder in his ears.

Thunder sounded, and people were dead.

Just as the bowstring rebounded, the crossbowman who was aimed at by Xu Le had been penetrated by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Until the moment of his death, this crossbowman was still working hard to complete the loading and not knowing that his death was coming.

These crossbowmen have always been hunters on the battlefield, but today they have become prey.

Xu Le's arrow was like a signal. As he took one arrow, the others also fired the arrow almost at the same time.

Clusters of arrows cut through the air and fell towards the crowd. No matter how brave the Xiaoguo Army was, they could only lower their bodies, raise their shields, and cover their bodies.

However, those crossbowmen were not equipped with shields, and there were no relevant exercises.

They usually rely on infantry protection, but today they are exposed to the attack of arrow clusters, not to mention that they are originally targets, so how can the result be good?

With the muffled sounds, gaps began to appear in the battle line of the Xiaoguo Army.

None of the Xiaoguo Crossbowmen in the first formation survived. In the first round of confrontation between the two sides, the Xiaoguo Army was completely defeated!
