Chapter 683 Defense of Gaoting (8)

Amidst the sound of military music all over the sky, the forward gear of the Riverbend Cavalry began to transition from "running" to "sprinting".Synchronized with the increasing speed as the distance approached, the strength and frequency of the sound of horseshoes quickly surpassed the beating hearts of the soldiers... When there was less than a mile left, amidst the commander's gestures and flag orders , the first wave of cavalry finally urged their horses to climb to the peak speed, and officially entered the charging state, sweeping with a dull but denser rumbling sound than the cannon.

In stark contrast to the astonishing momentum of the enemy, there was a complete silence in the Queen's Army.

The echelon array closely surrounding the command headquarters received and executed instructions so quickly that it produced an embarrassing result: except for the peak of the order frequency density at the beginning of witnessing the River Bend Cavalry starting to operate, it was quickly completed. As they prepared to attack, they quickly fell into a situation where they had nothing to do but wait.What's more terrible is that at this time, the artillery positions that should have roared and poured firepower on the enemy also fell silent for some reason.

It's not that the ammunition is exhausted or something happened, but it's that I can't get up fast, and I don't plan to be fast.

Artillery has a lot to do - the compact structure of the trapezoidal array and the excellent location of the artillery positions have been carefully selected. One of the important indicators or purposes is to ensure that the artillery can attack the southeast, northwest, and south without shifting positions. Attack any incoming enemy from any direction.

However, it is one thing not to shift positions, but the arrangement and distribution of artillery is another: if the artillery turns from bombarding the main force of the infantry in the bay in the west and then adjusts to fire south, the artillery that was originally side by side will move from left to right. Adjacent to each other has become stacked on top of each other...and when the distance remains the same, the muzzle flame and shock wave of the second gun will seriously affect or even injure the operator of the previous gun.

They had to widen the front and rear distances and carry more than half of the artillery short distances, so that the entire artillery position changed from vertical to horizontal to face the incoming river bay cavalry before they could start loading and enter the ready-to-fire state.

Although all the psychological, physical and even props for this series of operations have been prepared, there is no way to move these large metal lumps made of copper and iron. From the edge of the field of vision to the charging distance in front of him.

Theoretically speaking, the artillery has time to hit a round with solid bullets and then quickly switch to shotguns for a second strike.However, after comprehensive consideration of factors such as accuracy, safety, and ammunition, Iger finally gave up the risky plan, and conservatively chose to directly load the shotgun, and after the enemy cavalry entered the optimal range, the final decision was made in a full state. blow.

On the west side of the battlefield, the deliberately created gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and the fake river bay troops used by the Queen's Army to collide with the enemy were about to be exposed. At this juncture, when the battle had already begun to collide and had not yet happened, a burst of echoes from a distance echoed more loudly and densely. The sound came from the main formation of the Hewan Army—following the vanguard of the counter-disguise, the Hewan Army actually launched an all-army attack!

Iger's heart skipped a beat for a moment, and then he regained his composure.

In his plan, the ideal situation is of course to defeat them one by one: the river bay cavalry was first tricked into rushing to the door and received a severe beating, and then the main force of the infantry slowly reacted and began to deal with it in a hurry—if the opponent chose Even if he remained unmoved and continued to defend the formation, he would take the initiative to charge under the cover of the reloaded artillery while the enemy cavalry was unable to resume fighting within a short period of time.

Who would have thought that the enemy commander would decisively choose the wrong one? In this way, the infantry and cavalry of the River Bay Army could arrive at almost the same time to form a pincer attack. He first used artillery to repel the enemy cavalry and then turned back to continue bombarding the infantry. Completely bankrupt... The world is impermanent, and it is impossible for every plot to develop according to his expectations. It is useless to sigh now. He can only grasp the defensive advantage he has finally tricked out, and fight every wave of attack and defense well. The slightly better ones, combined into the final strategic victory!

……

Amidst the shouts of charges coming from all directions, it was a more primitive long-range attack force that started the strike first.

The effective range of shotgun ammunition is half that of solid bullets, but it still has a clear advantage over ordinary bows and crossbows.However, there is a problem here: the artillery position is located inside the trapezoidal formation and is protected by the infantry phalanx in all directions. Although its range is long, it is not much left after being offset by the "distance from the infantry of one's own side" and the "depth and thickness of the guard phalanx". ——And this also means: the river bay army cavalry actually has to enter the range of the infantry archers in the outer circle first, and then it is the turn of the cannonballs.

Before the rumble sounded, amidst the loud shouts and orders, the longbowmen of the Western Territory, who had been incorporated by Iger, took the lead in launching a long-range strike.

Unlike the Land-Grant Army, which has already begun to use artillery and plans to directly point out musketeers as long-range troops in the future, the army of the Western Territory is a purely authentic army of the cold weapon era. With sufficient military expenditures, they may not be number one in combat effectiveness, but The level of equipment is the highest among the Seven Kingdoms, crushing all living beings. In the sound of the command "Let the arrow!", hundreds of archers who had already drawn their strings a few seconds earlier let go of the archers in unison, and a black mass of high-quality arrows The arrow flew out in response, and fell into the oncoming Hewan Army cavalry formation.

Ping, bang, bang, puff...

Sporadic arrows hit the armor and the sound of meat piercing sounded. Faced with this familiar attack mode, the River Bay cavalry remained unmoved, ignoring the few horses and soldiers who fell and fell off their horses, and continued to march forward bravely, calling out orders. According to the previous plan, the sound gradually narrowed the distance between each other, shrinking and gathering the wide and loose horizontal formations.

At the beginning, they were scattered because they were afraid of the long-range artillery strikes of the Western Expeditionary Army, but after all, the cavalry charge had to be denser to create enough deterrence and impact.

"kill--!"

The hoarse cry of killing was accompanied by the waves of cavalry rushing towards us like a tsunami, and the deafening salvo in the direction of the artillery position, which had been silent for a moment, finally sounded again while the enemy and us were waiting.

Limited by casting and forging technology, and out of considerations such as ease of training, teaching, and ease of transportation for field operations, the active service of the Western Expeditionary Army is all small-caliber artillery that is less than the standard of the six-pound gun on the earth plane.The caliber is small, and the shells that can be fired are naturally not large-the so-called shotguns fired by more than 30 artillery pieces at this moment are actually cylinders filled with [-] to [-] small projectiles. The military fans who witnessed it uttered a kind ridicule of "I feel so pitiful after watching it".

But for the river bay cavalry who are still riding flesh and blood and using cold weapons, the more than 30 small cannons are more than 30 death gods.

With a loud bang, the projectile leaves the barrel under the pressure of the gunpowder gas, and is completely cracked and broken near the muzzle. The projectiles inside burst out, and the trajectory draws more than 30 approximate cones in the air with the muzzle as the apex... …Diffusion, fusion, and the second round of arrow rain that was quickly released by the archers in front, merged with them to form a barrage of both hot and cold weapons, and rushed towards the cavalry line of the River Bay Army with a scream.

Chapter 684 Defense of Gaoting (9)

People turn their backs.

People turn their backs on their backs x2.

People are turned on their backs xN...

In the crackling and crackling sounds, the horses fell, the riders fell to the ground, and the soldiers who did not know whether they were injured or dead rolled under the action of inertia and were trampled by the follow-up cavalry. His neighing filled the entire auditory world for a while.What happened to the Hewan cavalrymen was beyond their comprehension: even though the cannon fire was only a single round, and the power of the arrows did not show any visible improvement, the robes beside them were like harvested wheat, Stumble on the ground or fall off the horse, or simply fall down with the mount!

Their war horses have adapted to the roar of gunpowder explosions, and their people are also ready for the killing and shocking of the flying shells...

But that damned night watchman once again pulled out a new attack method in the line of fire!

There is no bloody flesh and broken limbs shot by solid bullets, only unpretentious small bullets that penetrate armor and skin. The number of casualties is crazy, as if thousands of sharpshooters are sniping at them with invisible armor-piercing arrows .Within three to two seconds, hundreds of cavalrymen were either killed or lost their combat effectiveness, and they were put on the ordinary infantry. After this inexplicable beating, everyone would definitely choose to retreat temporarily and give up the charge.

But they are cavalry, under the huge inertia of sprinting and the invisible oppression of the second wave of cavalry behind them, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue forward.

And ahead, with another round of arrow rain that quickly covered them, there was another wave of hot weapon strikes waiting for them.

Artillery has entered the time of the sages, but the original but reliable explosive bombs are not so particular. Amid the shouts of the frontline commanders, the thin line of grenadiers in the front row vigorously waved their arms, smashing the smoking guns one by one. The black ball was thrown at the feet of the river bay cavalry, and then quickly retreated into the formation.Unlike the Golden Group who saw this thing for the first time in the Battle of the Blackwater River, the Knights of the River Bend this time already knew that this thing did not kill people by smashing it. A series of bangs erupted under the feet or behind.

The smoke and vibrations are produced simultaneously, and the splashing shrapnel arrives. It is actually difficult for them to cause considerable damage to the armored soldiers without the acceleration of the barrel, but it is a huge stimulus to the horses that step down—the mounts of cavalry troops are indeed I have already completed the desensitization training at the coalition assembly area outside Gaoting City, and I am familiar with the interference of the explosion sound, but this time the sound of the explosion bomb is not only closer and stronger, but also carries sporadic or intensive stings and injuries, which completely surpasses The tolerance of war horses as domesticated animals is gone.

Another group of people turned their backs on their backs, and panic spread throughout the entire first wave of cavalry with the sound of neighing, and the dense sound of horseshoes became chaotic. This time it was no longer a simple huge casualty, but the formation and rhythm of the entire charge were completely disrupted. Distorted...Facing the front row of the Western Expeditionary Army's Western Region Gunshield Soldiers and Dornish Spearmen's strict defensive formation shining with metallic luster, no one has completely lost the determination to charge forward.

They didn't dare to rush, and they couldn't stop on the spot and wait for death, so logically, their direction of advance began to shift.

The main force of the Riverbend Cavalry, under the command of Garlan Tyrell, drifted slightly westward to the south of the Queen's Army echelon, and in order to cooperate with the infantry's general attack while not interfering with each other, they will charge to open the gap. It was selected as the most southeast corner of the echelon of the Queen's Army—that is, the phalanx diagonally opposite to the position where the infantry battle line first started to engage.After going back and forth, the direction of the cavalry's charge is naturally from southwest to northeast, showing an upside-down "丿" character on the map of up north and down south.

When encountering the combined attack of the opponent's artillery + arrow + explosive bomb trinity, the cavalry and horses in the front row instinctively chose the safest self-protection method: do not stop, increase the steering angle At the last moment before contact, he turned a nearly ninety-degree corner, drew a "factory" character, swayed around in front of the spears of the Western Expeditionary Army, and left to the east, and then "a few" The word turned back to the south, swaggered away to escape the danger.

Seeing that the oncoming wave of cavalry turned a corner at the last moment, and headed east parallel to their own formation with their tails between their tails, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, holding their guns, shields and spears tightly, had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the opponent was heading towards the east. Scattered objects flew out of the group of remnants heading east, drawing untidy arcs towards him, smashing into shields or falling into the formation.

Sparse bangs sounded, mixed with sporadic cries of pain. The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army came to their senses and found that besides many short arrows of light crossbows, there were throwing weapons such as throwing axes and javelins among the objects flying over. The most outrageous thing is that some soldiers were smashed to the ground by rusty iron.A few people were unconscious, some were slightly injured, and no one was killed. The first wave of the Hewan Army's cavalry charge came to an end with a tragic loss ratio of several hundred for zero. But before they could relax for a moment, the second wave of cavalry charge also to the present.

……

Contrary to what the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army who watched the wounded evacuate from the front line guessed, the first wave of river bay cavalry shrank their heads at the last moment was not entirely due to timidity, nor were the crossbow bolts and weapons they threw or threw. It is a symbolic counterattack of anger and anger when there is no hope of winning.

When Garlan Tyrell divided the cavalry into three waves at the beginning, he didn't mindlessly distribute them equally according to the number of people.

He first made an announcement for the whole army, calling together riders with bows, crossbows or other miscellaneous throwing weapons, and divided them into the first wave with mercenaries, free riders, and old and weak cavalry infantry. Although a wave of thousands of cavalry is not full-time wandering and harassing cavalry archers, it is the only wave with long-range attack means.

Next, the best-equipped and well-trained group of property knights, noble private troops, and the Golden Regiment cavalry—including myself—arranged into the second wave, forming the core strength of the entire cavalry force and " fist".

Finally, the combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than the first wave, but the equipment level is lower than that of the core elite. In contrast, the remaining part that is classified as "light cavalry" is set as the third wave, as the rear and cover troops.

Such a deliberate division of troops naturally corresponds to different tailor-made tasks.

What to do in the first wave is: first put your feet up and charge normally towards the Western Expeditionary Army’s position—if you can bluff the opponent’s formation loose, then go in and dig a gap; Sweeping forward, do your best to interfere with and kill the enemy with the long-range weapons at hand, at least to cause considerable casualties and confusion, and create opportunities for the follow-up troops.

The task of the second wave of main force is relatively simple: charge with all their strength, rush in through the gap opened by the first wave of cavalry or the chaotic weak point created, kill through the southeast corner of the echelon formation of the Queen's Army, and destroy the defensive formation under Egbo.

The finishing work of the third and last wave is: play by ear and expand the results of the second wave of heavy cavalry.

When Garlan Tyrell made the battle plan, he knew that the first wave of cavalry could not break the formation of the Queen's army, so he only hoped that this group of weak soldiers could play a little role.However, the result after the actual fight was far beyond his expectations. He could see clearly the process of the galloping horse galloping not far behind: the opponent seemed to have thrown a new weapon that he couldn't understand before the battle, so that The first wave of cavalry barely approached the enemy formation after shedding a layer of skin, but after all their efforts, they failed to shake the enemy formation even at the bottom line that he expected.

Instead of mourning for the dead and wandering wounded scattered horses, a more urgent choice was before him: should the offensive continue when the first step of the plan did not go well?

The teachings of many bachelors and veterans let him understand: the cavalry has a low chance of winning a complete infantry formation without deformation; the family management work he has held has made him clearer: no matter how many knights and infantry fight recklessly, the cost outweighs the gain; Considering the tragic casualties and weak harassment results of the first wave of forwards, the most suitable choice for him at this moment should be to turn at the same angle as the previous wave of soldiers, skim in front of the enemy's front instead of plunging in, and withdraw from the battlefield first. Looking for another fighter.

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the second wave of cavalry led by Garlan Tyrell easily overcame a round of arrow rain and rushed close to the enemy's position.In front of them, the array of the Western Expeditionary Army, which was still neatly arranged with a slight arc, began to appear clearly. He was in the front row and could even see the serious and nervous expressions of the first row of Western soldiers.

He took a deep breath and made a sudden decision.

Today is different!

This is a decisive battle that will determine the future of the Tyrell family and the Riverbend. If you win, you will have everything, and if you lose, you will have nothing.

No matter how slim the odds of winning and how tragic the cost, he has to grit his teeth and move forward.

Although the previous wave of cavalry did not achieve the original tactical goal, they muddle-headedly completed the "cannon fodder" mission that the infantry decoy failed to complete yesterday, and successfully attracted all the shotgun fire from the Queen's Army to them. In the case of loading...

Although this moment is not the best time to fight desperately, he will never wait for a second better opportunity today!

Garlan Tyrell held his chest high, his lance high.

"Keep speed—Long live Highgarden!"

Chapter 685 Defense of Gaoting (10)

On a temporary observation deck built on the basis of a four-wheeled carriage, Iger was able to have a panoramic view of the tightly arranged Western Expeditionary Army positions without the need for bird skinchangers to report a bird's-eye view.

The effect of the shotgun countering the first wave of cavalry in the River Bend fully met expectations, but Garland Tyrell divided the cavalry into several groups for consecutive rounds of charge, plus the tactical command of charging from southwest to northeast... but it was blind Encountering a dead mouse, it became a coup against the enemy by accident, making the artillery shot and the shotgun debut in actual combat—although the overwhelming advantage was achieved without any suspense, the result was much smaller than expected .

Dividing the cavalry into three waves is intended to facilitate command and prevent crowding and trampling. However, in actual combat, the gaps between the charge arrays can effectively prevent the infinite spread and amplification of panic caused by shelling; and the ingenious oblique approach , and let people turn around when they are unexpectedly frustrated and evacuate from the other side of the battlefield smoothly, without affecting the offensive pace of the friendly forces behind them at all...

For the enemy's unexpectedly good performance, Iger could only shrug his shoulders and sigh secretly.

Using aerial reconnaissance, he had already discovered that the River Bend Cavalry was divided into three parts, but here lies the trouble: he could not judge from the bird's-eye view reconnaissance results relayed by the bird skinchanger that "the second wave of cavalry is the elite and Fist"—even if he knew it, it would be difficult for him to take any effective response within a few minutes.

The loading speed of the artillery has a limit. Faced with the three successive waves of offensives, the Western Expeditionary Army faced a simple and crude choice: either bombard the first and third waves of cavalry, and resist the second wave in the middle; Do not fire, just waiting for the second wave of attack-however, in the latter case, the first wave of cavalry will change from a false attack to a real attack, and the infantry will have to resist two waves without artillery cover... Even two and a half groups of cavalry rushed.

With the details unclear, Iger safely chose the former option, and now he has to witness the reasonable result of his infantry accepting this choice: in the dull rumbling that made the ground tremble faintly, the second The wave cavalry hit the golden-red infantry defense line mainly composed of Dorne and western infantry like silver-green waves.

Under the grand background sound composed of shouts and roars, the first thing that sounded was a series of explosions that were crisper than the cannons but slightly smaller - different from the time when the artillery needed to be loaded, homing and aiming, the grenadiers only needed to ignite Just throw it out.The explosive bombs constituted the last hot weapon defense line before the infantry of the Queen's Army met the cavalry's attack. A few seconds later, the collision of horses and shields, weapons and weapons, and even armor or bones broke and muffled, and a wave of flesh and steel merged, finally It was photographed on another embankment of flesh and steel.

……

After organizing a wave of threatening attacks, the second thing that surprised Iger to frown happened: for some reason, the effect of the bomb was worse than expected.

The Hewan Army conducted emergency desensitization training to the sound of explosions at the coalition assembly area outside Gaoting City. The ideal goal of "no surprise, no chaos when encountering guns"... But if it is just a wave of explosive bombs, it can only disrupt but not completely contain the charge of the river bay heavy cavalry.

In the different tones and voices, harsh or penetrating, the elite cavalry, led by the general, slammed into the top edge of the southeast corner of the echelon with a vigorous fighting determination and ignored obstacles.

Emotionally speaking, Iger certainly hopes that his soldiers can be like standing rocks, unceremoniously smashing the waves that hit them and then driving back.The Unsullied might be able to do this, but after all he led a mixed army of good and bad rather than [-] Unsullied: In order to facilitate command and control, and at the same time avoid forming weak points in the layout of the echelon, Iger All the way from King's Landing to this place, we have been constantly rationalizing and reorganizing and arranging the infantry. While letting the command system we built basically integrate into the entire army, we have done our best to ensure that all departments of the army—— It is the personnel quality and equipment level among the nine infantry phalanxes...that is, the overall combat effectiveness is basically evenly distributed.

Under the premise of ensuring the reliability of the main body of the army, the Unsullied, the Land-Grant Army, and the Cavalry were selected as a follow-up and reserve team for emergencies.

On the other hand?

The people in Hewan squeezed out almost [-]% of the cavalry to young generals such as Garland to form a cavalry unit - the average combat power of people with horses themselves crushed the peasants and soldiers in all aspects, and Garland still pressed the cavalry on this basis Weakly divided into three parts, and in the strongest second wave, the elite part equipped with horses and horses and the most complete armor was deployed to the front to make the blade.This series of operations allowed him to temporarily achieve a partial "upper four vs. middle four" in this moment's battle against cavalry. He successfully used the slightly superior combat power to wipe out the defensive advantage of the Queen's Army.

When other miscellaneous advantages and disadvantages offset each other, the result of head-to-head confrontation between cavalry and infantry, under the action of the former's greater kinetic energy and subsequent impact, has to follow objective laws rather than subjective will.

In this desperate defense battle, the Riverbend Cavalry played a fleeting highlight moment!

The infantry formation of the Queen's Army struggled to maintain its integrity without being penetrated in one fell swoop, but it was still distorted and deformed helplessly under the action of the iron law of physics, and it was severely sunken in the direction of the enemy's charge. The weak link between the two phalanxes Everything is even more precarious, as if it will disintegrate and collapse in the next moment.

The scene was a bit ugly, and the Queen's army was indeed at a disadvantage, but Iger did not panic at all: as long as the cavalry charge exhausted their own forces and still did not collapse, the horses that stopped after the speed returned to zero were wooden stakes to be slaughtered, and he still held them. There are surplus chess available.

"Mobilize the Unsullied, fill in the gap, and replace the Southern Second Phalanx!"

The tight trapezoidal formation has many advantages, including being easy to grasp the situation on the battlefield, and the range of artillery can cover the whole field, etc., but its disadvantages are also prominent: there is no room for maneuver. Once the outer defense line is broken down, the trapezoidal internal company will build a second defense line to organize counterattacks. Not enough space.The replacement of the first-line troops will cause short-term chaos and emptiness of defense. If the enemy's third wave of cavalry can catch their own weaknesses under the attack of shotgun shells, the situation will be in danger.

Faced with a dangerous situation with a low error tolerance rate, Iger did not hesitate to use the reserve team.

He could have mobilized the two-two phalanx in the middle of the trapezoid, but the enemy's approach, impact force, and even equipment flags were all clamoring "Lao Tzu is the trump card", and it would be great to send another army with similar combat effectiveness to support him. underestimate the enemy.Although the land-grant army is also experienced and highly motivated, the main body is the people outside the Great Wall and they have no experience in dealing with cavalry. In this case, there is only one option left for Iger.

Unsullied.

This group of soldiers, who are biologically useless, are undoubtedly pure men on the battlefield. With their input on the front line, they don't have to worry about any problems before they die.

……

Amidst the sound of horns and the eye-catching black flag orders that pierced through the noisy battlefield, the Xuanjia troops that made countless nobles and slave owners on both sides of the narrow sea frightened were dispatched, like a black stream of water along the gap between the phalanxes towards the battlefield. Going to the southeast corner, an unparalleled sense of security instantly filled the way.

Iger was about to watch the excellent performance of this legendary infantry against the cavalry, but the west side of the battlefield—the line of contact between the infantry of both sides was unexpectedly in a hurry.

Chapter 686 Defense of Gaoting (11)

Iger noticed the abnormality before the call for help arrived.

Adhering to the principle of "balanced combat power", the bombers of the Western Expeditionary Army are distributed equally to the nine square formations along with the grenadiers: each square has about [-] grenadiers, and each grenadier carries Two explosive bombs, the extra fraction was reserved for Iger's direct descendant land-grant army, while the Unsullied and Western Cavalry were not equipped at all.

Contrary to the "limited number and slow firing" of artillery, the use of explosive bombs is too convenient. Although the total number is quite large, there is only one out of ten people on average. It will run out in an instant.In order to avoid unnecessary overflow and waste of firepower, Egger greeted the commanders of each formation before the battle: only in the face of cavalry assault and critical battle situation, it is allowed to engage in explosive bomb operations .

And just now, during the gap between the two rounds of cannonballs, he heard the roar of explosive shells coming from the direction of the infantry battle line.

If it was only one round, it could still be explained that the mid-level commander of a certain phalanx made a mistake in judgment and put in the emergency bombs in advance, but the crisp sound of the second round and the third round of bombs meant that there were other forces. The commander of the formation followed with the order to drop bombs—a surefire signal that the entire infantry line was under pressure.

But this is so strange.

In Eiger’s pre-war assumptions about the situation, as long as the infantry phalanx on the western front can confront the enemy’s infantry and withstand the opponent’s offensive without collapsing, he will go to other directions on the battlefield to achieve decisive results. ——After removing the two plug-ins of bombs and artillery, the infantry of both sides are equal opponents of the same level at the same time, and the Western Expeditionary Army has an overall morale bonus of consecutive victories. There should be no difficulty in a tie...

In fact, what Iger is worried about is not that he will not be able to fight, but that after the opponent's first wave of infantry charges is repulsed, his own infantry will chase them out, which will lead to the collapse of the defensive formation and even fall into the trap of the opposite side, so repeated orders are not allowed to pursue, not allowed chase.

But now, the infantry line can't handle it?

With doubts, he turned his attention from the basically safe south line to the west line, and quickly figured out the reason through observation and listening to reports: the people in Hewan actually pushed the dragon hunting crossbow to the front!

……

The arrangement of the tight trapezoidal formation narrowed the external front of the Western Expeditionary Army to the extreme, which made it impossible for the Hewan Allied Forces to give full play to their huge force advantage-to be honest, this is not a conventional formation method. efficient lethal weapons.But now, the opponent has thrown a low-profile substitute into the battlefield!

The giant crossbow arrows fired by the Dragon Hunting Crossbow cannot bounce and roll on the ground, and their killing efficiency is far inferior to the solid bullets fired by the artillery. Even the original explosive bombs can crush it.Having said that, after all, war is not about whoever takes out their weapons better than the one who wins: the powerful artillery is busy fighting against the cavalry; and the portable and easy-to-use explosive bombs, the Western Expeditionary Army only has two rounds reserves.

Two weapons that are better than the Dragon Hunting Crossbow are restrained and the other cannot last long, so it is no wonder that the Dragon Hunting Crossbow shows its power.
