At the head of the car array is a "caboose".

It is not known for its speed, and the car is covered with leather and shields, and the three people above are also wearing thick leather armor.

Even if the protection is in place, in previous wars, the first vehicle often suffered the most casualties when they were attacked by geese. But the three were all warriors who pledged allegiance to the Fan family, and they were already ready to sacrifice.

This is the honor of being a soldier. After they pedal, they can look down on the lowly pawns in the front and rear!

When the chariot entered within fifty paces, the "archers" on the opposite side were still not firing. The left and right sides of the chariot began to feel strange. They talked and said, "Why don't you shoot arrows? Are you scared by our momentum? shocked?"

"I heard that the opposite is the county **** of Wen County, who has always been known for his cowardice. It's really possible."

They couldn't help but feel refreshed. If the cowardly Wen Di soldiers on the opposite side were so unbearable, they might not have to die this time. It's hard to say that they can still make great contributions.

Yu Rong excitedly grabbed the bridle and shouted: "Rush over, the right and left of the chariot repel those soldiers blocking the road with bows and arrows and long ge, I will rush to open a gap. This is a flat field, my disciple I have a car, and there is no obstacle, this battle will…”

However, before he finished speaking, after entering a distance of thirty paces, an armored soldier in black armor and a bronze robe on his head shouted loudly: "First row, shoot!"

￥↘ Then, he first pulled his fingers, and an extremely sharp feather arrow came out of the string, facing the three people on the chariot at the fastest speed.

"Boom boom boom..."

Zhao Bing's thin front line sounded dozens of soft sounds one after another. This was the sound of bowstrings shooting feather arrows. The nerves of the first row of crossbowmen, like the crossbow machine in their hands, had been tense for a long time. After hearing the words, they pulled the hanging knife with their sweaty index fingers, and shot the crossbow arrow at the first chariot that had been aiming from the beginning to the end!

"Not good!" Yu Rong, who was guarding the car, subconsciously wanted to tighten the eight bridles. Control your speed. However, he saw that there were sixty or seventy arrows released at the same time, and half of them were obviously missed. But there is still a large radius flying towards the car he is driving.

The sharp arrows screeched and flew close, this is all-round coverage, there is no way to avoid it!

"It's over!" The three people in the car wailed in unison, and then their consciousness was swallowed by the piercing pain and the boundless darkness.

"Puff puff!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

This is the sound of arrows hitting the flesh and hitting hardwood carts and shields, respectively.

Yu Rong loosened his grip on the horse's bridle and let the horse run around. He had already been shot into a sieve. The car holding the shield in the back was not much better. The shield was directly smashed by countless feather arrows, and no one was able to save it.

Whether it's a soldier. It was still a horse, within thirty steps, it couldn't stop the intensive firing of a hundred crossbow! The three people in the caboose died in an instant, and the horse pulling the chariot was also seriously injured. After rushing for a few steps with inertia, it suddenly fell to the ground and raised a lot of dust.

There were also a number of crossbow bolts that were fired half a beat behind, and they hit the second chariot. The car failed to control its speed, and collided with the fallen caboose, and immediately turned on its back, and one wheel bounced high. Also scrapped.

The third, fourth, and fifth vehicles of "Qian Rui" reacted, and Yu Rong maneuvered the horses to bypass them from both sides. But because the speed could not be reduced, they simply did not stop the charge. Because according to common sense, the opposite "archer" will rewind the bow after firing a shot. Taking advantage of this gap, there may be time to rush to the front. A gap was made for more than twenty chariots to follow.

However, they miscalculated, and when the three vehicles finally rushed out of the large dust, they were still greeted by dense arrows.

The first row of crossbowmen, who had shot empty of their arrows, took three steps back after Zhao Wuxi shouted, and let the second row come forward. car. A round of salvo, just in an instant, dozens of crossbow arrows collided with the chariots that came flying!

The result is obvious, Fan's chariots, horses, and people were either disabled or killed or wounded, and they lost their combat effectiveness anyway. The only military chariot that relied on inertia to rush five steps in front of Zhao Bing, the people on it were killed by arrows, and the horses were scattered and fled. A soldier with feathers and arrows all over his body shouted and crawled out in a hurry, but was also killed by the Le clan soldier who climbed over to the ground with a sword, and his left ear was cut off.

The speed of the aggressive car formation on the opposite side dropped sharply, and finally stopped forty or fifty paces away. Those scholar-bureaucrats who used to be noble and arrogant and disdain to look at apprentices with a half-eyed look now look at their colleagues who died in stunned eyes, unable to believe this is the truth at all.

The Wenxian crossbowmen also looked at the miracle they had created in disbelief. Fan's chariot, which had been galloping like thunder, was actually stopped by the exquisite long-range weapons in their hands! What Dr. Zhao said is true!

Zhao Wuxi had already expected this outcome. As long as the crossbowmen didn't mess up their positions, they would have to pay for as many chariots as they came.

Although the crossbow of the Spring and Autumn Period was relatively primitive and had many limitations, the above-mentioned defects were not prominent in the era when it just appeared. Because at this time the main force of the army was the chariots, their targets were huge, and they were not as fast as cavalry, and lacked mobility. They were good targets for strong crossbow fire.

Therefore, in the original history, when the strong crossbow was generally equipped in each military team, the traditional chariot could not fight against it alone, and began to degenerate from the absolute main force to the auxiliary arms!

In today's battle, after knowing the number and type of the enemy, Zhao Wuxi laid a trap.

First of all, he used a shrewd strategy to let the light knights raid and kill the peace talks, so as to improve the morale of his own side and anger the opponent at the same time. Afterwards, Wen Zun, who was known for his cowardice, stood in the front row and formed a weak horizontal formation to tempt the enemy chariots to rush in. In the end, he used the crossbow machine to drop one thing on the chariot, and turned his hand to fight back. Now he has taken the lead and has taken the advantage.

After shooting an arrow, the second row of crossbowmen immediately retreated, allowing the third row to step forward. This time, they heard Zhao Wuxi's new order: "Step forward and chase the enemy's chariots!"

"Pursue... Rong Cha?"

The crossbowmen thought they had heard it wrong, and thought about it, too, from Xia Qi to attack the Hu clan. Thousands of years have passed since the chariot was first used. Only the tall chariots driven by the scholar-officials have always chased and trampled and killed the disciples. Where are the disciples going to chase the army chariots?

In their consciousness, it was like the squirrel suddenly chasing the raccoon slave to bite. It is not common sense for a mantis to kill a oriole.

But the joy of success drove away the timidity and doubts of the crossbowmen. Their winding speed gradually returned to the level of normal training, and they would no longer make mistakes when changing columns. Now that Dr. Zhao has an order, just follow it, not to mention that after the crossbow machine, the chariot on the opposite side seems to be very unable to help.

Zhao Wuxi's order was more than this. He asked the Le's armored soldiers to move away from both sides, preparing to follow the crossbowmen with the pawns holding the spears. As for the chariot and the light knight, he also had his own arrangements.

...

Fang Cai, after realizing that something was wrong, Fan's brigade commander had already slowed down the speed of the chariots and formed a cloud formation. After the sudden change in front, sporadic arrows flew past his ears, startling him. Fortunately, the following vehicles slowed down, otherwise they would be caught in the opposite trick.

But what exactly is that? Fan's brigade commander faintly remembered hearing what his colleagues said. In the southern state of Chu, that kind of thing called "crossbow".

"Stop! Turn around!" After fighting for so many years, the brigade commander had never seen a weapon that could knock down five military chariots in an instant. He was terrified and felt that he could no longer charge rashly. He hurriedly waved a small flag to stop the chariots behind him from moving forward, but stopped completely.

However, he immediately regretted his order deeply. and paid a heavy price.

The essence of the chariot is to use the huge volume to impact and cause a terrible deterrent to the soldiers. Instead of stopping and waiting!

Once they lose their speed, they are no longer formidable roaring beasts. But a huge living target!

It was not easy to turn the huge carriage around, Yu Rong shook the bridle desperately, jumped down from the right and left and pulled the horse to turn around, the scene suddenly became a mess. The Zhao Bing formation on the opposite side suddenly started to move.

Intensive drum beats sounded, rustling footsteps sounded, Le's armored soldiers avoided both sides, and the crossbowmen began to hold the crossbow machine horizontally and marched forward at an untidy pace.

On the chariot, Fan's brigade commander, who couldn't turn enough, watched the other party get closer and closer. The "bow" in their hands did not need to be temporarily wound, but was fully wound. Once in range, he held a round of lasing, and after the front row finished shooting, he stopped and lowered his head to wind up the string, just the two rows in the back came up from the gap, and another round came.

The crossbowmen advanced and fired in turn, and for a while they could only hear the sound of tense strings.

After a few breaths, Fan's chariot, which could not get out in time, was filled with dense arrows, and corpses with different movements were lying on the car and under the car. Most of the chariots were reimbursed by crossbow arrows, and those who didn't die were also compensated by the Le's armored soldiers who arrived later.

When they arrived, there were 30 chariots, flags and flags flying high, and after a while, only a dozen chariots fled, and the flags fell down weakly.

However ~lightnovelpub.net~ Fan's nightmare is not over yet, and worse things are yet to come.

Directly in front of them fleeing, were Fan's apprentices who had followed closely behind. These apprentices had been frightened by the fiasco of their own chariots, and stopped at a distance of seven or eighty paces at a loss.

With an arrow in the chest, Fan's brigade commander braced his body and leaned on the rail to observe the situation ahead. This battle is completely lost, but you can't attack your own family in order to escape, right? So he waved the flag to the left and right, so that the chariots were divided into two teams, bypassing the dense number of Fan's apprentices, and drove towards both sides.

However, Zhao Bing is now under the command of Zhao Wuxi, and the whole formation is moving forward. The dozen or so chariots on the right lined up to attack, and the 20 or 30 cavalry archers on the left also galloped on their horses. Their target was exactly the dozen or so Fan chariots that escaped from the crossbow! (To be continued..)
