Chapter 838

Chen Tai couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Logically speaking, he had injured two people on his side, and at least he could replace the other person with one person. However, the bow and arrow have been shot at each other for a while. The people on his side have been injured and injured, and their firepower has been greatly reduced, but the other party seems not to be too affected. Could it be that the arrows he shot were all shot out of the air and could not shoot people?

In fact, it is impossible to shoot in the sky without hitting someone. This kind of indiscriminate attack like a cover is even if the opponent's defense is strong, it will eventually become a secret, so there is no problem of no lethality.

But the problem is that Chen Tai thought of exchanging one life or exchanging two lives for another life, but it was a bit unrealistic. Since the flat box truck in the Bingzhou army was relatively tall, it provided a lot of defense to the Bingzhou army hiding behind, which was much stronger than the shield.

Moreover, between the two flat box truck defensive formations, Ma Long also specially ordered people to build something like a ceiling with wider wooden boards. Nearly half of the arrows shot by Sima Jun were not strong enough, but the landing point was directly shot outside the flat box truck formation. The remaining half of the arrows were blocked by the flat box truck and the defense ceiling, and in the end, the arrows that could really land on the head of the Bingzhou Army were only 100% or 20% of the arrows.

In addition, the Bingzhou soldiers themselves have armor protection, so even if they are shot by arrows, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. Therefore, the most ideal result that Chen Tai hoped for did not appear. Sima's army kept shooting arrows, but the hit rate was terrible. A large number of arrows were shot over, and did not cause much substantial damage to the Bingzhou army.

On the other hand, due to the weak defense ability, the casualties of archers are increasing. The greater the casualties, the weaker the attack ability. At the beginning, it may still maintain a even-matched momentum, but if you continue to shoot, you will be completely suppressed.

Of course, this has a clear relationship with the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons used by both sides. The Sima army almost used compound bows, while the Bingzhou army was a crossbow. In this way, the attacks of both sides were not on the same frequency, so the effect was naturally much worse.

Chen Tai looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that the arrows of both sides could suppress the firepower of the Bingzhou Army, but now it seems that the effect is not satisfactory. If he continues to shoot like this, it is likely that all Sima's archers would be squeezed out.

He could not continue to fight like this. Chen Tai ordered the cavalry, who had been ready to go, to launch another attack. He hoped that the cavalry's attack could disperse the firepower of the Bingzhou Army and reduce the pressure on some archers.

Sure enough, after the cavalry was dispatched here, the main target of the Bingzhou army's bow and arrow strike immediately turned to the cavalry. Although arrows still continued to fall on the heads of the archers, overall, the density had been greatly weakened, which undoubtedly gave the archers some chance to breathe.

At this moment, the center of gravity on the battlefield naturally shifted to the attack and defense of the cavalry.

The formations of Sima's cavalry were arranged this time, which was much looser than the last attack. There were at least four or five horses between the two cavalrymen, and the density was greatly reduced.

Moreover, the distance between the front and back was widened according to Chen Tai's requirements. Such an offensive formation cannot be compared with the first time in terms of momentum, but such a loose formation has a good effect on avoiding the stray arrow.

During the first attack of Sima's army, due to the dense formation, a row of arrows from the Bingzhou army could at least fall into a large area, causing heavy casualties.

Now under the same arrow density, although Sima's army suffered casualties, there were a lot fewer, and most of the arrows were shot empty.

Now the Sima cavalry also uses shields to strengthen protection. With the cover of archers, the attack effect has been significantly improved.

During the first attack, the Sima cavalry suffered a severe blow. Even the flat box trucks were not approaching, and the corpses were already everywhere. This time the effect was obviously better than the first time. Not only did the casualties reduce, but the depth of the attack also strengthened. Some cavalry even rushed to the bottom of the flat box truck.

The primary target of Sima cavalry is these flat box trucks. Only by truly destroying this line of defense of the Bingzhou Army can it be possible to annihilate the Bingzhou Army hiding behind the flat box trucks.

But Chen Tai did not have a particularly clear method to destroy these flat box trucks. After all, any method is empty talk when attacking the flat box truck.

Although the Sima cavalry is capable of rushing to the front of the flat box truck formation, the closer they get to the flat box truck, the stronger the attacks they suffer. The Sima cavalry who rushed to the front of the flat box truck almost didn't have time to make destructive actions and were shot and killed by the Bingzhou army.

There is no doubt that the Bingzhou Army's protection of these flat box trucks is the highest level, and they also know that if such a hard turtle shell is lost and the defenseless archers are exposed to the enemy cavalry, it will be like a lamb to be slaughtered, with only one dead end.

Only by protecting these flat box trucks is their only way to survive.

Now the competition between the two sides has reached a heightened level. Chen Tai did not care about his strength and almost suppressed all the cavalry that could be invested. Only by using this saturated attack can more people approach the flat box truck, thereby destroying this layer of defense shell of the Bingzhou Army.

After the Sima Army continued to increase its troops, it also achieved the results he wanted. More cavalry rushed up and people kept approaching these box trucks.

If you look at it from a distance, these flat box trucks seem to be inconspicuous, but when you get close, Sima Jun discovered that these flat box trucks are very tall, and even many cavalrymen ride on horses, they do not exceed the height of the flat box truck.

Each flat box truck is made of huge logs and is so heavy that it takes two strong mules to pull these flat box trucks, which is also the reason why the flat box trucks move very slowly.

During the war, these mules and horses were led back into the formation. The flat box truck had four huge wheels, and the Bingzhou army had at least dozens of people to push it. They pushed the flat box truck together, connected to the end, and connected it with thick iron chains, thus forming a complete defensive fortification.

The Sima cavalry rushed up. Facing such a bulky and sturdy flat box truck, they felt confused at the first time. What method should such a flat box truck be destroyed?

PS: Sorry, there was something wrong in the morning, and it was a bit late to correct it, please forgive me.
