"The shield comes forward! The Archer advances one hundred steps to shoot!"

Found that there were fewer archers on the other side than I thought, Liao Xi, the battalion commander of the former team, immediately ordered.

But thousands of archers were scrambling forward in neat steps. In front of them was a row of neatly straits of large shield soldiers. These large shield soldiers held large shields more than two meters high, looking like a wall moving forward.

Although such a large shield is just a piece of iron, it is also very heavy. Therefore, every ten steps the big shield soldiers have to put down their shields and take a breath. Over their heads, the gunpowder arrows fired by the crossbows are still continuously shot into the spearmen formation.

"These are just firearms, what are you afraid of? Didn't you tell you before you set out? These firearms are just a little louder and can't hurt many people at all!

Shield soldiers come forward! The spearmen reorganize their formation. Whenever officers at all levels find that they dare to make noise, they will be killed!!!”

Han Xi, who was hiding behind, hurriedly ordered that with the issuance of military orders and the heads of more than ten most powerful soldiers who called out, the discipline of the entire spear formation was slightly restored.

As Han Xi said, these gunpowder arrows are indeed limited in lethality. After all, this is just black gunpowder, and the amount of ammunition that the arrows can carry is also limited.

The big shield soldier slowly walked to a hundred steps away from the long spear formation and began to stop and no longer move. Han Xi knew that the rain of arrows was coming at a glance.

"Dialogue, rocker!"

The spearmen began to shake the big guns according to the military order. These spears were made of bamboo poles and were extremely resilient. When they were shaken a little, a huge gun flower immediately formed at the front end.

Thousands of large guns were shaken in the same direction, but no two large guns collided with each other, showing their extremely high training level.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

Arrows flew out of the Hebei military formation. Han Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the rain of arrows falling from the sky. He clasped his fists and pinched the reins of the horse into a ball.

Crack ~

Ah ~

The sound of arrows and guns colliding, and the sound of gunmen being caught in arrows suddenly sounded.

Although the gun flower pushed a lot of arrows away, there were still countless arrows passing through the gun flower and shooting into the military formation.

"Breaking back! Breaking back!!"

boom!!

There were several more explosions, and the crossbows who were still firing gunpowder arrows told Han Xi not to forget them with practical actions.

The two armies fight, bows and arrows are the first!

Han Xi suddenly found that the archers on the opposite side were not coming to his spearmen, but to the archers on the back team.

The spearmen in the front team were helped to cover up the sword and shield soldiers who had just stepped forward to reinforce. With the rocker tactics, the arrows caused no major casualties to them. Instead, the archers in the back team were killed and killed by several waves of arrow rain.

This is already one-third of his archers.

"Quick! Let the shield soldiers retreat! Protect the archers!!"

If you completely lose the ability to counterattack in the long range, these thousands of people will be slowly torn to death!

"Hmph, I'll let you lose sight of each other!" After Zhang Xiu learned that Han Xi changed the formation, he immediately said, "Let the archers change the heavy arrows and shoot directly!"

The military order was issued, and the archers in the front team stopped sucking the light arrows in the quiver on their backs, but instead sucked the heavy arrows in the quiver on their waists.

The weight of the arrow will not only affect the range, but more importantly, it will affect its armor-piercing ability.

"Go ahead fifty steps, move forward tightly, and then spread out into a direct shooting formation!"

The former battalion commander took a visual inspection of the distance and ordered.

The archers immediately moved forward, stood behind the big shield soldiers, and followed them closely to move forward, in order to be protected by the big shields to the greatest extent.

Fifty steps arrived in an instant, and the sound of the bamboo flute sounded, and the big shield soldiers slowly dispersed with the sound of the bamboo flute and the officer's command, giving way out channels ten centimeters wide.

At this time, the archer was less than sixty steps away from the spearmen.

Of course, people cannot walk through this passage, but archery is enough.

"Seal the shooting!"

But the first row of archers flashed in front of the gap between the big shields and shot an arrow at the spearmen not far away.

After shooting an arrow, the archer immediately hid back to the big shield, and then the archer who had just shot the archer flashed to the gap and continued to shoot the archery.

Judging from the direction of the spear array, I just feel that there is a super archer in the small passages, who can shoot heavy arrows continuously.

This heavy arrow is specially used to break armor. The weight of an arrow exceeds 130 grams. The arrows are all made of high-quality fine iron. Because the arrow is heavy, although the armor-breaking ability and lethality have been improved, the range is naturally reduced.

A archer can shoot hundreds of steps with a light arrow, but if he wants to exert the power of a heavy arrow, he may only shoot fifty or sixty steps.

Later, the Later Jin archers who liked to use heavy arrows often shot until they reached thirty steps, causing all the people who were hit to break their armor and died.

Of course, the spearmen on the opposite side were just ordinary armor, sixty steps were enough!

When the opponent started shooting arrows, the spearmen desperately stirred up the big gun, but as long as anyone missed the net, there would be casualties and injuries.

Several people took over the archery, which ensured the frontal firepower, and the archers could return air, extending the shooting time, which gradually made the front team of the spearmen lose their support.

This kind of loss is not only psychological loss, but also physical strength. The big gun in their hands is extremely physically exhausted. After dancing for so long, many people's arms have begun to tremble.

Coupled with the gunpowder arrows that were still exploding in the array, the entire spear formation was only one opportunity to collapse.

"Infantry attack!!"

Even though the spear formation had reached this point, Zhang Xiu still did not dispatch his precious cavalry, but allowed Chen and his infantry to charge in a short time with small shields.

Chen Ke heard the order and shouted, "Brothers, the leader and the brothers in the camp are still waiting for us to rescue them. Kill me!!"

With the word Yi as the first, how dare you not charge forward? But two thousand Hebei, Wuguan Army launched a charge together.

After the infantry exceeded the position of the large shield, the archer immediately changed the arrow to light arrow again and changed the flat shot to a projectile.

The soldiers in the spear formation saw the infantry on the opposite side coming up. Some wanted to kill the enemy with guns, some wanted to retreat and escape, some were looking for instructions from the superiors, and some were already blown up by gunpowder and sat on the ground in a daze. In short, the spear formation, which should have been uniform, could not even exert a single point of combat power at this time.

"Stop!!" Chen Ke rushed to the front of the formation, and while giving orders, he pulled out a small axe from his belt, and then pressed the spearman on the opposite side with a flying axe.

Under his leadership, thousands of flying axes, short spears and even stones were smashed into the spear formation, creating a wave of chaos again. Chen Ke was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He knocked his shield and knocked away two already unstable spears, lowered his head and hit it in, then swung it out with a knife, chopping a spearman in the front to the ground.

Other infantry follow suit and follow this.
