The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 477

Seeing that the opponent dispatched cavalry, Zhang Wu was not worried. As the most elite military guard battalion in the world, if he couldn't fight against the cavalry, would he have the face to be called the world's most elite?
The infantry of the Wuwei Battalion is not ordinary infantry, but a joint force of heavy infantry and crossbowmen. Five thousand heavy infantry are wearing heavy armor.In addition to conventional equipment such as shields and epees, there are also various weapons such as short daggers, hand crossbows, kerosene bombs, and poisonous smoke bombs. The heavy infantry in the front rows also hold long guns.

The five thousand crossbowmen were all elite archers specially trained by Huang Zhong. They were equipped with longbows and continual crossbows. They needed a range and a speed of fire. Unless the opponent dispatched heavy cavalry, they couldn't get close at all.

Under Wei Yan's command, [-] heavy infantry resisted Cao's infantry, [-] heavy infantry on each side protected the wings with spears and shields, and [-] crossbowmen stood in the center holding longbows.

The cavalry of Cao Jun rushed up first, preparing to disrupt the formation of the Chu army with the impact of the cavalry.

When the Chu army gave an order, the crossbowmen divided into two groups. First, they used the longbow to throw two rounds, and then changed to the continuous crossbow to shoot fiercely at the cavalry of the Cao army who entered the range.

The continuous crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time. In fact, it has appeared on the battlefield a long time ago, but its size and weight are too large, and it is generally used for city defense.After Zhang Wu's improvement, the size and weight are reduced, and it can be used by soldiers alone, but the range and power must be weakened, but even so, the lethality is still very large.

A continuous crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time, and two thousand crossbowmen can fire [-] arrows at a time, basically covering all the cavalry that Cao Jun rushed over.The cavalry that Cao Pi dispatched this time were light cavalry. The soldiers only wore armor on their upper body, and the horses only protected the important parts of the horse's head and belly. Under this fierce firepower, the opponent's cavalry was shot down before they rushed over. More than half.

Infantry fighting against cavalry relies on formation and long-range firepower. It would be even better if there is terrain that can be relied upon.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the [-] infantry led by Li Ling were besieged by the [-] army of the Xiongnu Shanyu in Junji Mountain. Li Ling stationed the army between the two mountains, using carts as camps, holding halberds and shields in the front row, and bows in the back row. And the crossbow, fight and go.

After several days of fierce fighting, Li Ling's troops wiped out nearly 100 Huns cavalry, and he himself lost more than [-] people, and almost escaped back.But when it was only more than [-] miles away from the border of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling's arrows ran out, and they were rushed and captured by the Huns cavalry.

Therefore, as long as they are not facing heavy cavalry, elite infantry can completely resist cavalry relying on bows and crossbows. Under the suppression of powerful long-range firepower, cavalry cannot rush at all.

When the Li Ling tribe was fighting against the Huns cavalry, they shot 50 arrows a day, an average of 5000 arrows per person!This shows that Li Ling's [-] men must be equipped with a large number of crossbows. Otherwise, no matter how elite soldiers are, it is impossible to pull the bow so many times.

In fact, the Xiongnu also saw that Li Ling's soldiers were careless, and the Xiongnu Shanyu was even more excited when he heard that it was Li Ling who was besieged. The Li family in Longxi was a top general, and the parachutist Li Guang was too famous.So the Xiongnu Shanyu made up his mind to capture Li Ling, and he did not hesitate to let the light cavalry charge with arrows.

The light cavalry went to attack the infantry phalanx with powerful long-range attacks, and the result was very miserable, especially the bows and arrows of the Huns could not penetrate the armor of the Han army, while the bows and arrows of the Han army could kill the Huns cavalry in a large area.

The origin of one Han enemy and five Hu is also due to the excellent equipment of the Han army. In any era, weapons and equipment are a very important factor in the combat effectiveness of the army.

Now the cavalry of the Cao army has also encountered the fierce attack from the long-range firepower of the Chu army. The cavalry on both sides could not get close to the infantry phalanx of the Chu army. Fortunately, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu were wearing fine armor and did not rush to the front. Otherwise, it would be a disaster. , Seeing that most of the two thousand cavalry he led were lost in an instant, he quickly withdrew back.

The infantry approaching from the front also had a hard time, because the other side shamelessly used kerosene bombs, poisonous smoke bombs and other very disgusting and inexplicable weapons.Zhang Wu activated the "Call the Wind and Rain" skill to summon the east wind to assist in the battle. The poisonous smoke from the poison bombs and the black smoke from the burning kerosene bombs made Cao's infantry extremely uncomfortable.

Zhang Wu activated another skill "stealth", which was a skill he acquired when he obtained the "Dun Jia Tian Shu". Although he had tried it before, this was the first time he used it on the battlefield.

The "Stealth" skill can increase the movement speed and hiding ability of your soldiers.With the addition of Zhang Wu's command attribute points, the overall quality of these ten thousand soldiers of the Wuwei battalion has been improved a lot. Now with the blessing of skills, their speed has been increased. This group of heavy infantry has overcome the weakness of slow movement and took advantage of the opponent. When the formation was scattered, he suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of the opponent to fuck hard.

Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Xing Daorong, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and other generals, the [-] heavy infantry of the Wuwei Battalion retreated steadily, killing [-] Cao's infantry, and Xu Chu fought hard to no avail.

Cao Pi looked shocked on the city wall. Is the Chu army's combat effectiveness so strong?I dispatched 4000 people to fight against 1 Chu troops, and they were beaten to pieces. The 3000 cavalry lost more than half before they approached, and the [-] infantry were beaten back by the opponent's [-] soldiers.

Jiang Ji said: "My lord, it seems that the 1 troops on the other side are the most elite military guards in the Chu army. Not only are they well-equipped, but it is said that every soldier can serve as a junior officer in the ordinary army. I am afraid that our army is no match. Why not retreat temporarily? .”

Although Cao Jun’s troops are also elite, they are far inferior to the Wuwei camp. The most important thing is that there is a bug called Zhang Wu, which can add BUFF to his soldiers, so Zhang Wuming knows that the opponent has 10,000+ troops, and he dares to lead 1 people. Come.Because he believed that with the strength of the Wuwei Battalion, it proved that it would be no problem to fight against an ordinary Cao army of [-] to [-].

Of course, if Cao Pi was shameless and planned to consume him with an army of 10,000+, Zhang Wu would choose to retreat without hesitation.

Jia Xu also agreed with Jiang Ji's opinion. In the face of such a strong army, it is really difficult for an ordinary army to win, unless the Cao army dispatches the heavy cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then dispatches the most elite tiger guard battalion of the Cao army's infantry.

But Cao Jun's heavy cavalry were all in Wudu, and without the cooperation of heavy cavalry, Cao Pi felt that the Tiger Guard Camp was not an opponent of the opponent's Wu Guard Camp.

But Cao Pi is not reconciled. Can his 10,000+ army still take the opponent's 1 people?

In fact, it is very simple to clean up Zhang Wu’s 10,000-armed guard battalion. [-]+ troops will surround them and kill them at any cost. No matter how elite the army is, it is also composed of people. Will die, at worst, I will exchange three for you.

But there must be a prerequisite for that kind of situation, that is, to trap the other party first, and not let them escape.Either lay an ambush in advance, or let the opponent fall into the trap, but with Zhang Wu and so many top military divisions under him, he will definitely not be so stupid.
