Chapter 925
After a series of three-way drum battles, Chunyu Qiong lost more than 200 crossbowmen and did not take any advantage. Although there were more people on the crossbowmen, the arrow formation was denser and the momentum was stronger, the scene was just good-looking. Every time he rested, he had to drag dozens of corpses and injured more, but the opponent's position had not changed much and he still shot slowly.
Chunyu Qiong was a little anxious. He originally wanted to win by his superiority of military strength. Now it seems that Sun Ce's subordinates have stronger shooting ability. Their hit rate is higher, making up for the disadvantage of the number of people, and the advantages of the ordnance are also obvious. They have robbed Gepi Ordnance Workshop and compared the ordnances of both sides. The arrows produced by Gepi Ordnance Workshop have stronger armor-breaking ability and better protection ability of armor-shields. Although the gap alone does not seem to be too big to crush, there is an amplification effect that cannot be ignored when the two armies are facing each other.
This should be the reason for the greater casualties on our side.
If you continue to confront each other like this, your morale will be frustrated and your casualties will become greater and greater. Once the advantages of the crossbowman are weakened, it will be difficult to attack again. Chunyu Qiong thought about it and decided to adopt a close-killing tactic to give full play to his military strength advantages.
The order was issued, and the sound of war drums erupted again. The four-curve infantry crossed the crossbowman, began to attack and attack forcibly.
Seeing that Chunyu Qiong had sent four-que soldiers, Lu Su, Dong Xi immediately understood his intention and ordered the fight. The crossbowman retreated, the archer moved forward, and carried out a cover-type attack. With the whistling, a rain of arrows jumped out and shot towards the charging soldiers.
At this time, one more bow will have more power. Except for the spearman, the sword and shield hand who are ready to fight, everyone who can pick up the bow will start shooting. Lu Su and the personal guards around him are no exception. One arrow after another, the buzzing sound of strings is endless.
Arrows entered the body, and there was a sound of blood, and one stroke after another hit the ground. The short distance of sixty steps became a barrier of life and death. Many people failed to take this step and fell to the ground before they could close their forces. The four-curve soldiers who launched the charge rushed to the front of the formation less than half.
"Kill!" The surviving soldiers of Liu Hejun red eyes, raised their ring swords and spears, and rushed over.
Jiangdong Jianer was still silent, with a half-squatted sword and shield in his hand, holding a shield in his left hand, and holding a knife in his right hand, hiding his body behind the shield, holding a shield with his shoulder, not looking far away, but only looking three feet in front of him. As long as a figure appears in his field of vision, he will stab him hard, and then drag it hard to cause a larger wound as much as possible. The spearman bows in front and behind, thrusts his spear with both hands, and leans forward slightly. The spear passes through the gap between the two shields, and mechanically stabs and pulls it away, without any extra movement.
Although the Liu He soldiers who charged forward swung their swords and slashed and assassinated their spears with all their strength, the shields were pounding and shaking, but they could not break through the shield formation and squeezed together, becoming the best targets for the spearmen, falling one after another.
Compared with arrow formations, close forces are more cruel, and they test the strength and psychological quality of the soldiers on both sides. No matter how good your personal martial arts are, it is useless. There is people in front, back, left and right, and there is no room for performance. Life and death are only between the front line. If you break through the defensive formation, the offensive side can get more room for performance. If you don’t break through the defensive formation, they are the targets of living and will die sooner or later.
The two sides fought each other, and the originally straight formation was like waves, twisting.
While shooting, Lu Su checked the situation on both wings from the corner of his eyes. When he saw the formation fluctuations getting bigger and bigger, he lowered his bow, drew out the battle knife, and shouted: "Suddenly!"
The guards responded in unison, shooting with crossbows on one side. Lu Su took the lead and rushed out, slashing a spearman coming towards him. Then he waved his sword to open another spear, slid down the handle of the spearman, cut off several fingers, and then put it on the spearman's neck. Lu Su dragged it hard, and the sharp blade cut the carotid artery of the spearman, and blood splattered out.
Most of Lu Su's personal guard camps were Huai Si Rangers, and their martial arts were good, and they were definitely not comparable to ordinary soldiers who were recruiting. Under Lu Su's leadership, they broke into the crowd, quickly tore open the opponent's formation, broke behind them, and turned around and slashed and killed. The soldiers of Liu He's soldiers who were frustrated were attacked from front to back, and casualties increased rapidly, and the offensive became weaker. In the blink of an eye, a large area was cut down.
Seeing this, Lu Su's subordinates shouted, advanced forward and began to fight back.
At this point in the battle, they shouted for the first time. The voices of the four hundred people gathered together, neatly and majestic, like an invisible hammer, hitting the formation of Liu Hejun that was about to be defeated, and even hitting the hearts of the soldiers. Many people couldn't help but tremble, looking at their opponents who were like tigers going down the mountain in disbelief.
Two hundred steps away, Chunyu Qiong, who arrived in front of the formation, also heard the shout and was inexplicably shocked. Only then did he notice a problem. After fighting for so long, he was used to the messy shouting of his soldiers, but it was the first time he heard the other party shouting for killing.
These soldiers were so calm that they were so fierce that they could not speak out?
When two armies fight, they need to listen to the sound of war drums. The less unnecessary sounds, the better. However, people's hearts are made of flesh. When they are nervous, they will not only contact each other, but also relieve pressure and encourage morale. They cannot truly implement orders. In the time of life and death, who can care about so many?
But Sun Ce's subordinates did it. This surprised Chunyu Qiong, who claimed to have fought for half his life, and his uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
He did not dare to neglect, and did not care about his subordinates fighting in front of him, so he ordered the crossbowman to press forward and shoot volleys.
The urgent sound of war drums sounded, and dense rain of arrows leaped into the air. When Lu Su heard the drums, he knew that the other party was going to take a poisonous move, regardless of the enemy's killing and injury, and immediately ordered the shield to be raised. As soon as they raised the shield, the arrow broke through the wind and shot the shield and made the shield crack, as if there was a burst of hail.
The infantrymen on both sides who were fighting were caught off guard, and many people were shot. Wu Huijian was protected by armor and shields, and stood farther away. Only dozens of people were shot. The soldiers of Liu He's army who were facing their own positions suffered great losses. Almost half of them fell down in an instant. The remaining people were looking for protection while cursing.
Before the arrow formation was over, Chunyu Qiong sent Siqu infantry to attack forcibly. Under the urging of the sound of war drums, under the power of the sword shining with the cold light of the guard camp, Siqu infantry charged forward on the body of his companion, rushing towards Lu Su and others who had not had time to reorganize the formation.
Lu Su could see clearly, and while loudly ordered the crossbowman to go forward and shoot and suppress, he also put the knife into the sheath, raised his bow again, and saw that he was facing his enemy army marquis fifty steps away, shooting three arrows in a row.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Three arrows flew to the ground almost at the same time, one arrow shot in the air, one arrow shot on Qu Junhou's shoulder, and one arrow shot on the chest of the flag-holder next to him. Qu Junhou fell on his back, and the flag-holder was bitten and fell to the ground. The substitute flag-holder grabbed the battle flag, and before he could lift it, another arrow flew to him and hit him in front of him.
