072 Sword and Crossbowmen debut, strong crossbow three-stage strike

The soil slope was not high, and it was barely two feet tall, and it was extremely open, and there was no place to hide.

However, the thousand pawns in black armor did not panic at all, standing motionless like hard and cold stone men.

“Solution! Get the gun!”

A grumpy voice roared from the formation.



The black armored pawn finally moved, and the black spear in his hand pointed diagonally forward.

“Relieve annoying soldiers! Stand up a shield!”

With another order, the black armored pawns erected a half-high black shield neatly in front of them.

If Zhang Yun’s subordinates could watch it up close, he would definitely be very surprised.

The shields of these black-armored infantrymen were not just painted black, but wooden shields covered with iron.

The thickness of the iron sheet is quite thick.

“Swordsman! Get on the crossbow!”



The rough man shouted again.

Many soldiers squatting behind the iron shields drew out their crossbows and encircled them.

“Swordsmen! Facing Wangshan!”

After the password, the sword and crossbowmen levelled the crossbow in their hands, and Wangshan faced the cavalry rushing in front, calmly and abnormally.

All in all, these soldiers don’t know how many times they have done it.

On the training ground outside Lulong City, in the middle of the battle with bandits and bandits.

Different people rushed up from the opposite side, some more and some less.

Some are well equipped, some are in tatters.

Some ride horses, some walk.

The only thing in common is that the last enemy on the opposite side is dead.

Zhang Yun, who rushed to the front, was only more than a hundred meters away from the phalanx of Annoying Soldiers and Crossbow Soldiers. Suddenly, a feeling of heart palpitations rushed into his heart.


Just less than an hour ago, the world-famous Bai Ma Yicong was in front of him, and was directly defeated by Ju Yi’s Eucalyptus and Crossbowmen.

How similar is the current scene to just now?

Zhang Xi knew how much effort Yuan Shao’s general Ju Yi spent training Euphorbia and crossbowmen.

Moreover, the soldiers themselves are elites selected from tens of thousands of soldiers.

Originally, when Gongsun Zan had collapsed, it was impossible for another army to appear on the opposite side that could be compared with the Eucalyptus and Crossbowmen.

No matter from which point of view it is impossible.

Gongsun Zan’s army is exhausted.

For an instant, Zhang Xi seemed to be struck by lightning.

Just now, the strange and terrifying White Horse Yi Cong appeared and wiped out Chunyu Qiong and Zhu Ling’s troops. Before Ju Yi’s Eucalyptus crossbowmen were defeated, everyone thought that there would be no other troops on Gongsun Zan’s side.

Is the team in front of you the same as the white horse cavalry team just now?

Zhang Xi regretted it instantly, but knew that it was too late to stop his cavalry.

The cavalry had already sprinted, and the distance from the opposite side was less than thirty feet, only to bite the bullet.

But Zhang Xi didn’t want to go anymore.

A beast-like instinct, the fear of death instinct occupied Zhang Xi’s heart.

It was just a matter of breathing. Zhang Yun suddenly turned his horse back and hung it on the side of the war horse at an unbelievable angle.

Almost as soon as Zhang Yun turned sideways, a roar sounded from the black armor battle formation on the hillside.

“Swordsman! Shoot!”



The swordsmen standing in the gap between the shields of the black armored soldiers shot out a row of crossbow arrows, and then lay directly on the ground.

The rear row of swordsmen squatted on the ground and pulled the trigger after hearing the second command.

Another wave of arrows.

Then there was a third wave. The crossbowmen standing beside the black-armored infantry waited until the third command was shouted, and then shot another wave of arrows.

Three consecutive waves of arrow rain, with only a few seconds interval.

Each wave of arrow rain has taken more than two hundred people off their horses.

At a distance of more than twenty feet, the power of a strong crossbow is extremely terrifying.

The leather armor on the cavalry was directly torn.

Many people were pierced by crossbow arrows.

Even war horses were shot directly to the ground.

Before the cavalry had time to breathe, the crossbowmen who had been lying on the ground had already installed their crossbow arrows, and barely aimed, and another wave of arrows passed by.

Followed by the second wave, the third wave.

The three rows of crossbowmen are different in height, and the frequency of shooting and the frequency of reloading are very tacitly coordinated.

The interval between each arrow rain is only a few seconds.

Under this intensive rain of arrows, Zhang Yun’s elite cavalry completely collapsed.

Sun Yi, who was watching the battle from a distance, jumped up with excitement.

From the initial idea of ​​using a powerful crossbow to play three-stage strikes, to training the speed of crossbowmen’s installation of crossbow arrows, and then to the cooperation between swordsmen and crossbowmen, Sun Yi paid a great price.

It took almost three months of training before the crossbowmen who had already been trained in the system were able to play three-stage strikes with actual combat value.

Three rows of crossbowmen can achieve almost uninterrupted shooting.

One row to shoot, one row to prepare, and one row to mount crossbow arrows.

Of course, there is still a certain gap in the three-stage strike of this later musket, but it is already quite effective.

Zhang Xi’s cavalry had no chance to rush to the trouble-free soldiers.

After the continuous seven or eight rounds of crossbow arrows were shot out, there were fewer than 300 soldiers standing under the entire hillside.

“Relieve annoying soldiers! Go ahead!”

Han had no expression on his face. This kind of massacre-like operation had been staged many times in previous small battles against bandits and rogues.

Only this time it was replaced by Yuan Shao’s elite cavalry.

Han Dang had only one goal at this time, and that was to capture the enemy general Zhang Yun alive! *
