Chapter 4687: Bow and Arrow versus Shooting Halberd
As soon as Zhu Xiuzhi finished speaking, he saw a black cloud-like rain of arrows rising from the sky, striking from a place sixty or seventy steps away. A small part of it hit the halberdiers in the front row, but most of it,
They came towards these archers. Obviously, after being attacked by five rounds of arrow rain, the archers in the Tianshi Taoist Army also began to fight back.
The shield-bearers of the Jin army who were already prepared and were squatting on the ground stood up one after another, rushed to the side of these archers, raised their shields high, and blocked the heads of the archers. Suddenly,
A roof was propped up.
The sounds of "Du" and "Du" are endless. They are the sounds of arrows hitting the shield. Occasionally, there are also the sounds of flesh penetration and muffled grunts when some arrows pass through the gaps in the shield and hit the human body. These dedicated people
Shield bearers often prefer to be hit by arrows themselves, but also protect the archers' heads and shoulders. Their upper bodies are wearing hard leather armor. Some people still wear fine steel armor and steel helmets, even if they are hit by arrows.
Even if they are hit by a branch, they often do not cause much damage. Some people even have two or three arrows stuck in their bodies and are still waving their shields vigorously.
In this round of arrow rain attacks, only about ten people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The civilians and auxiliary soldiers in the back row quickly stepped forward, picked up these people who could not be hit by arrows, and ran backwards.
The archers of the Jin army, under the leadership of Zhu Xiuzhi, once again drew the bows and loaded the arrows. When the bow strings were fully drawn, the shields above their heads suddenly pulled away, and as their fingers loosened the strings, another round of arrow rain came.
It shot out of the air, but this time, the shooting distance was almost exactly where the arrow came from. With the ability of these archers, based on the strength of the arrow when they were attacked just now, they can calculate the approximate distance of the arrow.
This round of arrow rain was directed at the opponent's archers.
There was a burst of screams and groans outside the formation, and a shower of arrows followed, but it was smaller than the first round. Obviously, this round of counterattack with bows and arrows had a huge impact.
As a result, the opponent also had at least thirty or fifty archers who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Fu Hongzhi stood about ten steps in front of Zhu Xiuzhi, which was the center of the phalanx. His expression was calm, and he didn't even pay attention to the bows and arrows flying above his head. This fierce general who had experienced hundreds of battles was facing
He had long been accustomed to this, but his eyes were on the battle on the front line of the shield formation.
I saw the Jin army's front row of halberd bearers and spearmen, who were stabbing and stabbing with large shields in front of them, while the halberds and spearmen mounted behind the shields or on the shields were lined up in front.
Under their shouts, they stabbed rhythmically and regularly. With each thrust, there would be several screams, and even more sounds of weapons intersecting to block.
And across the shield, sharp spear points or spearheads penetrated from time to time. Obviously, the opponent's sergeants were not fools. The same sergeants with long weapons in their hands were in front, a few steps away from the Jin army.
These lines of defense attack each other.
However, these attacks on the Jin army's camp were not so uniform, and there was not even a unified rhythm. From time to time, we could only see spears trying to stab the soldiers in the front row of the Jin army, but they were often killed by the second row or even the soldiers in the front row.
It is the sergeants in the third row who have quick eyes and quick hands. They hold the halberds and spears raised diagonally in their hands to push away these weapons of the Taoist Master that are stabbing across the shield. Even if there are occasionally a few halberds and a few spears, they can hit the shield.
The soldiers of the later Jin army were often unable to inflict fatal injuries due to the good protection of their armored steel helmets.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the Jin army's halberdiers took a rotation, but they still maintained a good line and did not retreat at all. Instead, the spears and spears in each sergeant's hand were stained with blood and stained red. Obviously, everyone was
Something has been achieved, and at the feet of the soldiers in front, you can vaguely see blood flowing continuously, and from time to time, figures outside the shield array fall down. Obviously, the Tianshi Taoist Army has been in this round.
During the impact, I did not gain any advantage, but suffered considerable losses.
Tan Shihuai smiled and pointed at the battle situation ahead, and said: "Brother Hongzhi, I thought the demon thieves would have some new tactics and powerful back-up moves. I didn't expect that they would just continue to come to die. This time they
Even those red-clad swordsmen from the general altar are not used, do they just want to rely on the large number of people to charge us head-on?"
Captain Asiba sneered: "This is a daydream. Even if they come with ten thousand people, they can't break through our defense line. I think Li Nanfeng has lost his mind and just wants to kill him with his life."
Liu Zhendao waved his hand and pointed to his side. Behind the square formation, the more than 20 sergeants were divided into six groups. There were big trees in front of them, and he said: "Don't be careless. You didn't notice that the demon thief
Are the wooden armored machine men already within a hundred steps?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly at the same time. In an instant, a shower of arrows rose into the sky, accompanied by the sound of the trigger of a repeating crossbow. In front of them, seven wooden armored robots that had been approaching within a hundred steps suddenly moved.
After opening the shield in his hand, the crossbows on his shoulders and chest began to fire continuously. At a distance of about two feet above the shield, they directly faced the Jin soldiers behind the shield in front, forming a shower of arrows.
Woolen cloth.
The halberd warriors behind the shields of the Jin army all wore heavy armor and steel helmets, but they did not have shields in their hands. The long and heavy halberds and rifles became the only things they could count on. Many people tried to wave them.
He used his spear pole to deflect the arrows and crossbow bolts flying towards him, but it was all in vain. In just one salvo, more than ten sergeants were hit by arrows in the face or on the top of their heads, directly penetrating their heads, and they screamed repeatedly.
He died without even making a sound. The damage caused by this round of attacks by the wooden armored machine man was actually greater than the previous rounds of bow and arrow shooting.
However, the Jin army's phalanx was well-trained. The fallen soldiers were quickly dragged away by their companions in the back row, and the gap left by him was filled by other sergeants. The Jin army's defense line
, it was still airtight, and even the thrusts of the soldiers in the first row were not affected at all.
Fu Hongzhi turned his head back and said sternly: "Quick, shoot these wooden armored robots to destroy them!"
Zhu Xiuzhi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Everyone get on the rockets, form a group of five, aim at a wooden armor machine man, and burn them for me!"
As he spoke, he took out a special rocket from his quiver, wiped the flint in his hand, and passed the arrow covered with kerosene. Suddenly, the arrow burned into a palm-sized rocket, and the fire illuminated Zhu's eyes.
Xiu Zhi's face was just like the hundreds of archer subordinates around him, a spark of fire pointed directly at the wooden armor machine outside the formation, ready to explode! ()
