The answer to this question has been proven by Lu Xu's former Houjin Army. The "Qing Bow" in their hands, also known as the "Recurve Compound Bow", is as lethal as the early muskets, and even slightly better.
This is almost the strongest level that bows and arrows in the cold weapon age can achieve.
But the eagle bow in Lu Xu's hand is a modern bow and arrow that is stronger than Qing Gong, and its lethality is naturally even better than Qing Gong.
only......
No matter how good a bow is, it needs the right arrows to be able to exert its power.
In addition to the power of the bow itself, the armor-piercing arrows equipped by the Hou Jin Army certainly contributed to the power of the Qing Bow.
In the previous round of shooting, Lu Xu not only had his troops shoot at a distance of more than 150 meters from the enemy, but he also used ordinary arrows.
At this distance, it would be good if the eagle archers under his command could maintain their hit rate. It was naturally impossible to expect them to be able to break through the armor.
It was naturally impossible for Lu Xu not to know that such an attack would not work.
He just wanted to try out at what distance various arrows could penetrate the armor of the Beiting troops?
This valuable data will become an important basis for him to adjust his combat tactics against the Beiting Khanate in the future. Now that he is sitting on a solid battle fortress, even if the enemy rushes close to him, he will not be able to threaten his safety. This
When not to test data, when to test?
Moreover, there is another very important factor for Lu Xu to do this, that is, Lu Xu knows that Prince Wulu is very afraid of his bow and arrow.
If Prince Wulu can fight with him without any psychological burden, he must get rid of his fear of his own bows and arrows. Only then can he dare to put his troops into the battlefield on a large scale, so...
..
Lu Xu planned to give Prince Wulu a little sweetness first! As he expected, Prince Wulu was fooled without any surprise! He threw all his iron guards into it without hesitation.
The commander of the Iron Guard received the order from Prince Wulu, and he was not feeling well!
He quickly advised Prince Wulu: "Your Highness, our soldiers are very tired. The Iron Guard's combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. At this time, we should focus on testing the opponent's strength."
"And my subordinates just took a look. Although the opponent's arrows failed to break through our armor, they only used ordinary arrows, not armor-piercing arrows used to deal with heavy armor."
"So although the situation seems to be very favorable to us, the opponent has not tried his best at all. If we rush to invest all our forces now, we may fall into the opponent's trap."
Obviously, what the Iron Guard commander said was right.
But Prince Wulu couldn't listen to his words at this time, because now his mind was full of another thing - killing Suler.
Although even if Suler returns to Beiting safely, Prince Wulu can still pass the blame and make Suler a bad person so that he will not be betrayed by everyone because of Suler's affairs, thereby maintaining his qualification to compete for the throne.
But Suler was born in a powerful tribe after all. Once this tribe alienated Prince Wulu, or even fell into the arms of his opponent, this would most likely affect his final success or failure.
After all, he does not have that overwhelming advantage over other competitors now. If he loses a powerful tribe, and this tribe is gained by his opponent, then plus one minus, his loss will be double.
.
He cannot bear such a result no matter what! So now Prince Wulu really can't think about anything else. All he can think about now is the consequences of Surel's survival, so he can only study how to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Kill Surel.
Therefore, he did not listen to a word of what the Iron Guard commander said. Faced with the doubts of his subordinates, Prince Wulu even considered whether he should kill the commander and use this to boost the morale of the troops?
He thought: "This guy is right. The troops are indeed very tired now. If we force them to fight, I'm afraid they may not do their best. After all, I am not their master."
When thinking this way, he couldn't help but peek up and down at the Iron Guard commander. At the same time, he continued to think: "If I kill this guy, even if it's just to avoid being killed by me, those Iron Guards should also do their best."
Charge with all your strength."
"Even if they are not in their heyday now. I think, in this way, the Iron Guard will be able to display almost the same strength as usual, right?"
Thinking of this, Prince Wulu's hand unconsciously pressed on the handle of the knife.
When Prince Wulu looked him up and down, the commander of the Iron Guard felt that the situation seemed to be a little bad.
Now it was clear that Prince Wulu had murderous intentions. Although the Iron Guard commander didn't know where he had said the wrong thing, he quickly stated that he would resolutely complete the mission, and then walked away backwards.
Seeing the obviously defensive action of the Iron Guard Commander, Prince Wulu could only temporarily let go of his hand: "Well, after all, I am not his master. And his master did not give me the power to kill him, so even at this time,
If I attack him, he will probably resist."
Prince Wulu didn't feel at all that he could kill someone with his true strength. Since they were on guard, he simply gave up.
He had given up this idea here, but the Iron Guard commander could not let it go. When he was giving orders to his subordinates, he was still thinking: "This Prince Wulu is so intolerant of people's objections. I'm afraid he is not a wise man."
Lord?"
"The people of Daliang say, 'No one can make mistakes without being a sage.' How can a person who cannot listen to other people's opinions defeat other princes? No, I have to talk to the prince. I really can't support such a person anymore."
This loyal Iron Guard commander upheld his absolute loyalty to King Youxian and wanted to avoid a disaster for King Youxian. But in this way, he was completely separated from Prince Wulu. After all, the Khan's position was right.
It is an absolute core interest for Prince Wulu.
How can such a person cooperate with Prince Wulu if he even dares to touch the core interests of Prince Wulu?
Even though the Commander of the Iron Guard seemed to be talking nicely when he left Prince Wulu, when he carried out the order, he still did whatever he wanted to do step by step!
This Iron Guard commander has a way of making it impossible for people to find fault, but can still make the troops behave according to his own wishes. What he is thinking about now is the next order for the entire army to attack with all strength.
He gave supplementary orders such as those who were the first to break into Wei'an Fort would be rewarded, and those who dared to retreat even half a step would die. But his soldiers knew as soon as they heard that their commander wanted to
