150 meters, this distance is too sensitive and familiar to Shan Yingyi.
For the infantry archers, this distance is almost their ultimate combat distance. The reason why Shan Yingyi was frightened by the Beiting people is because the Beiting people's sinew wood recurved compound bow can shoot at a distance of about 150 meters.
Still retains great lethality.
It's not that Shan Yingyi and his longbows can't do this. Daliang's longbow is not much worse than others in terms of performance.
What is really bad is the people! The lack of training of the beam archers can no longer fight the enemy with long bows with excellent performance.
Shan Yingyi and his comrades were such a group of people. Now, when they saw the familiar combat distance of 150 meters again, Shan Yingyi's men began to panic.
"Hold on!"
Just now, Shan Yingyi was feeling sad that Zhao Feiyi had to remind his soldiers not to be timid. Now he had to shout and try to stabilize his front.
"You have all seen that their bows are not longbows at all! Their arrows cannot shoot so far!"
It's a pity that his words didn't have much effect. Because his men had already seen Wei'an Fort raising their bows!
To this day, Shan Yingyi still firmly believes in his judgment. He firmly believes that Wei'anbao's bow can never be a qualified longbow, but he also knows that if he does not take action, he will not be able to boost morale by just talking.
.
In fact, in Shan Yingyi's subconscious mind, he knew better than anyone else that they were just a group of deserters. Their morale and will to fight had long been lost, and this army had lost the ability to fight a tough battle.
But... reality forced Shan Yingyi to win this battle, otherwise they would eventually be trapped and die in the mountains of Qinling Mountains.
So he stood at the forefront of the team without hesitation, and then took the lead in taking firm and powerful steps towards his scheduled combat distance of 120 meters.
Seeing that the commander he had followed for a long time and the person who led him to escape was so determined, Shan Yingyi's men finally mustered up the last bit of courage.
This is not because they have much trust in Shan Yingyi's abilities, but because they know that Shan Yingyi is as afraid of death as they are, and he will not let himself take risks easily.
pity......
No matter how much they do, they can't prevent the cruel reality from coming.
Following Lu Xu's roar, a hail of arrows struck everyone!
As the commander of the infantry archers, Shan Yingyi knew that something was going to happen the moment he saw the arrow flying out.
When fighting at long distances, the infantry archers' fighting method is to projectile. The same is true for the Wei'anbao Army led by Lu Xu. Looking at the speed and height of those arrows flying into the sky, Shan Yingyi knew that his judgment was fatal.
mistake!
However, what he discovered was too late!
The arrow rain fell on his brothers mercilessly, and the continuous screams rang in Shan Yingyi's ears.
Until the rain of arrows fell, Shan Yingyi did not escape. Although he was a deserter, he took responsibility for his decision. When the rain of arrows fell, he only blocked it with the longbow in his hand and did not dodge.
This gave him an arrow in the thigh.
But he also knew that now was not the time to stop. If his troops could not advance to a distance of about 120 meters, they would not be able to cause effective damage to Lu Xu and the others. He always remembered that the Wei'anbao army had armor.
.
Originally, as former officers and soldiers, they once wore armor. Moreover, their armors were all heavy armor weighing dozens of kilograms.
However, when they were fleeing for their lives, they all felt that the armor was really affecting their escape speed, so everyone discarded the armor in unison.
Now, these people all miss those discarded armors very much.
Even Shan Yingyi himself didn't know if he would have the chance to lead his brothers through this long thirty meters despite the enemy's arrows.
But he knew he had no way out!
At this critical moment, Zhao Feiyi made a decisive decision and immediately led his men to charge!
Shan Yingyi glanced at Zhao Feiyi gratefully. Facing the overwhelming bandits, Lu Xu and the others would definitely change their target. This would be tantamount to saving the lives of him and his brothers!
In fact, Zhao Feiyi had no choice. If he watched Lu Xu destroy Shan Yingyi, the morale of his troops would be basically lost. There would be no need to fight this battle and he could just lead his men to escape.
Zhao Feiyi didn't want to run for his life, so he finally did what he least wanted to do - led his men to charge against Lu Xu's arrows!
With Zhao Feiyi's cover, Shan Yingyi quickly gathered the remaining brothers, preparing to quickly break into their combat range to take revenge.
As the initiator of this series of changes, Lu Xu didn't care what changes happened to the bandits? He still fought his own battle step by step!
He doesn't care whether the enemies appearing within his combat range are ordinary bandits or archers. In short, he just greets them with a projectile!
The bandits who lacked effective protection suffered heavy casualties under Lu Xu's attack!
When the bandits endured great fear and rushed within 100 meters, Shan Yingyi finally led his men to a distance of 120 meters.
Although there are no old grudges, there are new grudges!
The round of arrows just now dealt a heavy blow to these deserters from the army. It would have been fine if they had never had the chance to fight back, but how could they still be polite now that they had the chance to fight back?
Each archer concentrated all his strength and launched a round of projectiles into the sky, hoping to cause enough damage to the opponent!
However......
Lu Xu just glanced at the direction where the arrow rain was thrown and ignored it!
Even before the fight between the two sides, Lu Xu had already seen that the archers Zhao Feiyi found were all using longbows.
Frankly speaking, the power of the longbow is very powerful. As long as the combat distance is close enough, the longbow can even penetrate heavy armor!
But the focus of this issue lies in the combat distance.
At a distance of 120 meters, the lethality of the longbow is not enough to deal with most heavy armor. Not to mention, Lu Xu knew as soon as he saw the height of the arrows that the distance of 120 meters was already the combat range of his opponent.
's limit.
The enemy's arrows could only fall at the forefront of Wei'anbao's military formation. Those people were all wearing armor made of steel armor leaves. How could such a soft rain of arrows be able to hit them?
So Lu Xu didn't pay attention to the arrows in the sky at all.
When those arrows fell, a few muffled sounds did come from the battle formation on Wei'an Fort. Those were the very few unlucky ones who were shot outside the protective range of the armor!
"How can it be?!"
Seeing that his attack did not achieve the expected results, Shan Yingyi's eyes were splitting!
