Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia while watching Liu Zhang's army move forward.

After seeing Liu Zhang's army moving forward about fifty steps, they stopped and didn't care.

There are still 150 steps between the two armies, and there is enough time to react.

But on Liu Zhang's side, there were 8000 people in the Chinese army, and it took a full cup of tea to move forward fifty steps.

In the front of the central army, there are thousands of big Han iron wall shield guards, and there are thousands of tiger riflemen. On both sides of the central army are tiger mighty light cavalry.

They cover up the equipment in the middle, so people outside can't see it at all.

The Chinese army stopped, and Liu Zhang immediately ordered the equipment troops in the middle to form a formation, and the three hundred crossbow beds became three rows.

The one hundred bed crossbows in the first row can find five arrows at a time, with a range of two hundred steps, and the two rows of bed crossbows in the back can fire one arrow at a time, but the range is five hundred steps.

Dozens of arrows are placed next to each bed crossbow, and there are three soldiers controlling it, two of whom are responsible for pulling the bowstring and one is responsible for carrying the arrows.

Five steps behind the three hundred crossbow beds, there are one hundred catapults. These catapults are also divided into three rows. There are two carts next to each catapult, and stones the size of human heads are placed on the carts. .

The catapult is much larger than the bed crossbow. In order to perfectly control each catapult, at least five people are required, two of whom are responsible for pulling the rope to reset the lever after each catapult is thrown, and the other two are responsible for the operation of the catapult. Aim, the last person is responsible for moving the stone.

Behind the catapult, there are thousands of Han sunset archers and thousands of crossbowmen.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row quickly retreated from the gap between the bed crossbow and the catapult. After they retreated, the lieutenant at the front of the Chinese army shouted loudly: "Scatter!"

Thousands of big Han iron wall shield guards in the front row immediately moved to the left and right sides to give up their positions.

At this moment, the bed crossbow and catapult were exposed in front of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao was startled, and murmured, "That's a bed crossbow and a catapult!"

"Let's start!" Liu Zhang shouted to a messenger next to him.

The orderly rushed forward immediately, giving orders to the bed crossbowmen and catapult troops.

"Adjust the direction and angle!" Captain Bed Crossbow shouted loudly.

The bed crossbowmen immediately adjusted their respective bed crossbows.

"Pull the string, fill the arrow!"

The three hundred bed crossbow soldiers immediately put their arrows on the groove of the bed crossbow that had already drawn the bowstring, and got ready.

"put!"

Following the order of the captain of the bed crossbow, the seven hundred arrows on the three rows of bed crossbows flew out, some of them fell on the middle army of Cao Jun, and the other part flew over the head.

In an instant, hundreds of Cao Jun died like this.

The arrows of the bed crossbow are thick and long, and when fired, they are very powerful.

After shooting Cao Jun, it can often penetrate the soldier's body and continue to move forward.

Cao Cao was shocked. Seeing the effect of the bed crossbow, his eyes widened. The enemy's bed crossbow was so powerful.

Captain Bed Nu looked at the effect from a distance and felt very dissatisfied. He shouted loudly: "Adjust the angle immediately and shoot flat."

All the bed crossbowmen adjust their angles according to the effect of the bed crossbow they are in, and then quickly fill the arrows.

In just a few breaths, the bed crossbow fired a second round of arrows at Cao Cao's army. In this round of arrows, more arrows shot into the opponent's formation, and hundreds of people in the front row were shot to death.

"Damn it, the enemy bed crossbow is so powerful!"

"Feng Xiao, if our army allows the local bed crossbow to attack and be beaten passively, it will be bad for our army!"

"My lord is right. Although there are only hundreds of casualties each time, if this continues, when General Cao Hong attacks, our army may lose 7000 to [-] people!" Guo Jia estimated the attack speed of the opponent's bed crossbow while calculating the damage.

Just after the bed crossbow fired two rounds, the captain of the catapult also gave orders quickly. The soldiers pulled the rope to lower the lever, and then put the stone on it.

"projection!"

The 100 yuan stone was violently thrown out by the lever on the catapult, and only a small part fell into Cao Jun's formation.

In Cao Jun's formation, the soldiers who were still beside them just now were hit by the flying stones. Some of them lost half of their bodies, and some of their heads directly exploded.

In this round, only a dozen soldiers of Cao Jun were crushed to death, and the casualties were not large.But blood and flesh splattered everywhere, some fell on the ground, and some fell directly on the soldiers next to them, which greatly stimulated their nerves.

Death was not terrible for these Cao soldiers, but it was really terrible to be smashed so badly.

"Adjust the angles of each department and throw them freely!" The captain of the catapult quickly issued an order.

The main function of the catapult this time was to attack the soldiers. The stones they brought were relatively small, each weighing only about twenty catties, which was convenient for transportation.

However, the catapult attack once is slower than the bed crossbow, and far less accurate than the bed crossbow, but the attack effect is not bad at all.

Liu Zhang's army only had these [-] beds of crossbows and [-] catapults. According to their attack rhythm, they kept attacking Cao Cao's army.

Seeing the stone hit, Cao Cao's face was a little ugly, especially when he saw that some soldiers started to vomit when they saw blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Fear is transmitted to others.

Cao Cao knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

He looked at Cao Ren beside him, and shouted loudly: "Cao Ren, take the cavalry to destroy those bed crossbows and catapults."

"Promise!" Cao Ren immediately dispatched [-] cavalry to charge towards the enemy's center.

It is too dangerous to let the opponent's bed crossbow and catapult attack like this.

There are nearly 2 people protecting the opponent's bed crossbow and catapult. Cao Cao worried that the [-] cavalry might not be completely destroyed, so he looked at a burly general beside him.

"General Dian Wei!"

"The end is here!" the man replied.

"You make preparations immediately. If Cao Ren can't destroy the local crossbows and catapults, you will lead ten thousand infantry to press on me."

"No!" Dian Wei was about to convey the military order, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

"What else does my lord want?"

"Be sure to bring back a few complete bed crossbows and catapults!"

"The last general will save it!" Dian Wei also understood the role of bed crossbows and catapults in the army, he nodded heavily, then turned and left.

Cao Cao is located in the Central Plains, and it is not so easy to train cavalry. These [-] cavalry can be said to be the only cavalry unit except tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Ren was well aware of the magnitude of his task. After he dispatched the cavalry, he immediately led them and rushed towards the enemy's formation frantically.

"Report, the enemy sent cavalry to charge!"

Liu Zhang stood on the chariot, of course he saw it.

He thought for a moment, then said: "The order is that the catapults continue to throw and attack the enemy's central army. The bed crossbows are changed from flat shots to projectiles and attack the enemy's formation. Order the iron wall shield guards to be in the front row, then the sword and shield soldiers, and finally the bow and crossbow soldiers." Hands. Attack from a distance first, then close combat!"

Several messengers rode war horses and quickly went to each department to convey orders. After receiving the order, each department responded quickly and adjusted their positions.
