Chapter 340: Go to the crossbow shooting room first
Although the opponent is indeed a group of iron lumps, if you use bows and arrows, the lethality they can cause is impressive!
Among bows and crossbows, only infantry crossbows are counted, excluding those heavy crossbows such as large vehicle crossbows and bed crossbows. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
"Tiangong Kaiwu" contains: "The crossbow is a weapon for guarding the camp and is not suitable for formation. Anyone who is strong in bows and arrows can move more than two hundred steps, and the strongest crossbow stops at fifty steps. That is to say, it cannot pass through a short distance."
.However, its speed is ten times that of a bow, and the depth it penetrates is also twice as deep."
What we are talking about is that crossbows are mostly used as defensive equipment and are not used for marching. The range of strong bows is more than 200 steps, and the strongest crossbow arrows are only 50 steps. Even if the range is exceeded, the power of the crossbow arrows will be nothing. But the crossbow arrows are
Within the shooting range, the speed of arrows is ten times faster than that of bows and arrows, and the penetration ability is more than twice as strong as that of bows and arrows.
Between bows and crossbows, the former has an advantage in range, while the latter has an advantage in penetration.
Of course, this is just a comparison between the most common bows and crossbows.
There is definitely a difference between a one-stone bow and a three-stone bow, and there is also a difference between the most common hand crossbow and the hard crossbow used by Xiandenshishi.
However, no matter how low the armor penetration rate of the Pishi Army's bows and arrows is, it is difficult to cause effective damage to these two heavy armored infantry. However, not every part of these two heavy armored infantry can get the best.
For protection, parts of their faces and necks are not within the defense range of heavy armor.
The heavy armor of Xirong is completely covered, except for the two eyes and hands. However, except for Xirong, the heavy armor in other places is still somewhat exposed in the design!
Therefore, if the Pishi Army keeps consuming around these two heavy armored infantry units, no matter how impressive the actual lethality is, there will be a moment when these two units will be exhausted.
As a normal general, the leader of the Pishi Army had this idea and planned to detach a part of the Pishi Army to mount and shoot around the trapped camp and the Euphorbia warriors. It can be seen that just when the Pishi Army was preparing to bend the bow and set up
At the moment of the arrow, the Xianden dead soldiers hidden in the trapped camp and surrounded by the Euphorbia warriors emerged.
"Ding, Ju Yi first activates his skills.
First Ascend, First Ascend the Dead Soldiers, Live to Death, First Ascend the Dead Soldiers Legion Skills, this skill can only be awakened when the founder or leader of the First Ascend Death Soldiers and the tacit understanding with the First Ascend Death Soldiers reaches a certain level.
The skill effect can only be activated when the leader is commanding the dead soldiers.
Effect 1: When the leader of the army ascends to the dead, the commander is 2, and the force is 2.
Effect 2: When facing light cavalry, the commander will be 2 again, and the force will be 2 again.
Effect 3: When fighting on the battlefield, the troops under your command will be killed first and the whole army will have a force of 1, and if facing light cavalry, the soldiers under your command will be killed first and the whole army will have a force of 1 again.
Effect 4: When facing a head-on confrontation with light cavalry, it will seal the effects of its army-wide amplification skills or legion skills.
Note: At the same time, only the army-wide amplification skill effects or legion skill effects of enemies three times the number of the dead soldiers who first boarded can be sealed. It is invalid for enemies other than three times. Only one of them can be sealed. When all enemies are sealed,
When the military amplification skill effect is activated, the legion skill effect cannot be sealed again."
The hard crossbows of the First Assault Soldiers are extremely restrained against light cavalry. As long as the opponent enters their shooting range, the crossbow arrows in the First Assault Soldiers' hands can easily break their chests.
Even if the Pishi Army is not light cavalry with weak defense, it certainly has nothing to do with heavy cavalry. In front of the dead soldiers, their armor is still very weak.
"Ding, as soon as the effect of Ju Yi Xianden's skill is activated, when the commander Xianden Death Soldier is in action, the commander is 2, the force is 2, the basic commander is 92, the current commander has been raised to 94, the basic force is 86, and the current force has been raised to 88."
"Ding, Ju Yi's skill effect three is activated. When fighting on the battlefield, the force of the entire army of Xianden's soldiers under his command is 1. It currently conflicts with Zhendong's skill effect. The activation of this skill's effect is invalid."
The two armies of the trapped camp and the Euphorbia soldiers were like a steel fortress, tightly and seamlessly protecting the army of the First Ascension Death Soldiers in the center.
In fact, although the armor equipped by the First Ascension Death Soldier is not as heavy armor as that of the Trap Camp and the First Ascension Death Soldier, it is definitely not light armor. In terms of defensive strength, it is not as good as the Trap Camp and Euphorbia Soldiers.
, but definitely not bad.
Moreover, although the Xiandenshi soldiers are armed with hard crossbows, it does not mean that they do not have other weapons. Some of them are armed with long knives, some are equipped with long spears, and some are equipped with heavy shields. Therefore, first
The Death Climb unit itself has good protection and has the ability to fight alone.
However, even if the first-death warriors have the ability to fight alone, if they are allowed to fight alone, a large part of their strength will inevitably be used for defense, and their firepower will be different.
In order to deal with Dongyi's cavalry troops, the Xiandenshishi must ensure firepower support. Therefore, the two troops of the trap camp and the Euphorbias were used to defend instead of the Xiandenshishi.
The crossbow arrows from the deceased soldiers came towards the Pishi army at an extremely fast speed. Even though the Pishi army had superb riding skills, they were still in a hurry when faced with the sudden crossbow arrows. The cavalry could dodge the arrows, but the war horses could not.
It was not easy. Under the crossbow arrows, many war horses were in pain and knocked the cavalry to the ground.
Before engaging the enemy head-on, more than a hundred cavalry were lost. The commander of the Pishi Army was immediately furious. The Pishi Army had never suffered such a loss.
"Quick! Open the command flag! Let the Pishi army charge head-on!" Under the high platform, Yelu Abaoji ordered in a deep voice.
The Pishi Army is a force that is good at riding and shooting. After encountering the enemy, especially the infantry troops whose speed is incomparable to them, the most labor-saving method is to avoid frontal contact and constantly use bows and arrows to consume them.
However, the situation now is obviously different.
Logically speaking, there is indeed a gap between the range of the crossbow and the range of the bow. However, the soldiers who climbed up first are not equipped with ordinary crossbows, but hard crossbows. When the Pishi Army enters the range of your attack, they can target you.
When it is within range, it will naturally be within the shooting range of the dead soldiers who climb first.
The periphery of the dead soldiers who climbed first was protected by a group of iron lumps. If they were consumed in this way of shooting, the Pishi Army would definitely suffer.
Therefore, after Yelu Abaoji received the battle situation, he responded immediately, allowing the Pishi Army to charge decisively and use the powerful impact to knock over others.
In the past few years, he has built a good reputation in northern Xinjiang, and his ability to fight with his feet is enough to make him proud.
But Yelu Abaoji has never lacked confidence in the Pishi Army, which is equivalent to his own guard camp.
