Wen Pin's mood was already surging.
But he forced himself to calm down.
He ordered, "Keep a distance from these crossbows, these crossbows are less than forty steps away!"
In such an unfavorable situation...
Wen Pin shows why he, a general, can be called "Jiangxia Iron Wall" by Cao Cao;
Why is it that as long as he is here, from Cao Cao's perspective, the north of Jiangxia is as stable as Mount Tai!
Wen Pin immediately ordered the knights, "Don't attack forcefully, use bows and arrows, and use fire arrows!"
That's right - it's just using fire arrows.
Wenpin is worthy of being a famous general in Jingzhou.
When the tiger and leopard cavalry of Sunset Valley was defeated, he thought about the enemy's ordnances and crossbows and side vans for many days.
According to the explanation of the return soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the range of the crossbow is only more than thirty steps, while the range of the crossbow can reach a hundred steps even if it is riding and shooting.
This distance is the breakthrough for the "continuous crossbow"!
Wen Pin chose to shoot arrows because the range of the crossbows was too close, so... he could suppress the crossbows in the mountains on both sides with arrows all over the sky...
Then create the opportunity to use the fire arrow to ignite the side van.
Wenpin asked many soldiers who were asked back by the Tiger and Leopard Riders. He could be sure that the wooden boards used in the side van had other elements, but wood... were still the most important material.
As long as there is wood in it, it will definitely ignite.
As long as it is ignited, the "car array" will be in chaos.
Even... there is no need to completely burn this side van.
In Wenpin's view, as long as the "car array" is ignited, one or several of the enemy soldiers operating the chariots will be timid.
That…
It's the breakthrough.
The "car array" relies on a "steel plate"-like wooden wall to block the cavalry's charge, but as long as this "wooden wall" breaks through one place.
Then... it will inevitably show an avalanche, and a large number of cavalry poured into Zi Xinai, collapsed, collapsed and disintegrated in an instant!
This is the only way Wen Pin thought of to defeat this side van formation.
Wen Pin did not hesitate at this moment, and he shouted loudly.
——"Use bows and arrows to suppress the left and right valleys!"
——"Control the distance, set fire at the entrance of the valley, and burn this carriage!"
——"Here..."
Following Wen Pin's order.
These Cao Ren had some trainings.
Immediately... the knights on the outside raised their shields to block the crossbows around them. The knights among them threw the halberds aside and took out the bows and arrows on their backs.
Arrows shot around like pear blossoms that were raining rain.
These arrows have no target...
It may not be able to accurately hit the Mi family army in the mountains, but... because the range required by the crossbow is too close, the firepower suppression formed by the arrows shot down from the sky is enough to greatly reduce the power of the crossbow.
And this...
For the real killer move, Fire Arrow created time and space.
"Fire arrow, pull the string, shoot--"
With Wen Pin's roar, countless fire arrows drew brilliant arcs in the air, shooting towards the valley entrance in unison.
This time, Wenpin’s purpose is to burn the boat.
Therefore... he brought a lot of fire-induced objects.
Enough to shoot a few rounds of fire arrows!
——"Boom boom boom..."
Countless fire arrows collided with side vans, and the flames intersected with the wood inside, making a "crackling" sound.
What followed was the ignition of these wooden boards.
"Sure enough... this side van is afraid of fire!"
Wen Pin shouted excitedly.
These flames... are effective for the side van and the array!
Then...there is still a chance to burn the warship tonight!
"Keep a good distance and set fire..."
——Space, distance…
Wenpin made the most perfect distance!
He is a general who is good at solving problems.
In his opinion.
——Wood can overcome iron weapons.
——The nemesis of that tree is fire, and the flame can burn all trees.
——It can also help these three thousand riders break through everything!
…
…
Originally, Mi Fang was quite pleased because of the side van and the crossbow.
I didn't expect these things to be so useful, and in a while... I shot the enemy's cone array through a corner.
But it was very chunky, Mi Fang realized the seriousness of the problem.
The cavalry led by Wen Pin did not attack the side van formation with crossbow arrows...
Instead, they set a distance.
The crossbows were pulled away until they could not shoot them, but their crossbows could cover the entire crossbows' distance.
This made Mi Fang's heart suddenly irritate, and he had to admire the enemy's general Wen Pin's ability to control the battle.
It would be fine if it was just that.
At least there is a side van at the entrance of Hulu Valley, and Wenpin's cavalry can't take a step anyway. If the stalemate is held, it will be beneficial to Mi Fang's side.
The enemy attacked warships at night.
——It is impossible for Guan Gong not to return to help!
Can…
The moment the fire arrow shot down in the sky, Mi Fang's mood suddenly became cold.
Only then did he realize that this Wenpin is not just a top-notch commander, he actually found a way to crack the side van array.
At this moment, Mi Fang was in tears.
"——General...the enemy's setting fire!"
"——General, some side vans have been lit."
"—General, those fire arrows can cross the chariot array and shoot directly into the military array. General... will be dangerous if he stands here again!"
Unfavorable battle reports came one after another.
Mi Fang subconsciously staggered his legs, and he was already a little unsteady.
Wen Pin's combined punch made him realize that the huge gap in command ability between the enemy and our generals was no longer something that could be reversed by the side vans and the crossbow.
Mi Fang subconsciously retreated, but only took one step back. His feet seemed to be welded on the ground, and he could no longer take a step back!
It seemed like... something was pulling him.
indeed…
It’s not that Mi Fang doesn’t want to retreat, but that “huge money” and “huge interests” are pulling him, and he cannot step back.
yes…
He retreated? Then... the car array retreated!
As long as the car array takes a little step back, there will be a gap in the gourd mouth and the enemy's cavalry can break in.
When these enemy cavalry break in, it will be a devastating blow to his infantry under Mi Fang!
