Chapter 657, Discipline and Trust
Looking at the airtight shield wall at the top of the hot sand city wall.
At this time, Lombard was really confused.
Immediately, his entire face suddenly became serious.
What the defending troops on the opposite side did just now.
It looks simple, and it sounds simple too.
Isn't it just that while the crossbows of the defenders are firing, the soldiers maintaining the shield wall in front are asked to get out of the way?
But it is such a simple thing, but it is not easy at all to do!
Shooting with a defensive crossbow behind a shield wall, and firing a bow and arrow behind a shield wall are two different concepts.
The accuracy of large ordnance at the level of crossbows is not as easy to control as bows and arrows or hand crossbows.
This is not the first time this has been said.
Those big shield soldiers are blocking the front, and the crossbows are firing from behind?
In case the soldier operating the crossbow on the city defense bed misses.
Or there might be some malfunction of the city defense crossbow, causing the attack trajectory to deviate.
The big shield soldier standing in front is destined to die without a burial place!
It's like standing in front of the cannon when it fires.
Everyone is afraid and nervous.
What this city defense force showed just now is discipline and trust!
This is a force with iron-clad discipline and absolute trust between soldiers!
How can such a force be easy to deal with?
After realizing this, Lombard lost all his initial casualness and calmness, and his whole expression became obviously serious.
"The bed crossbows continue to attack! The archer troops spread out to the left and right, retreated to the two wings, and provided cover for hanging shots!"
A series of orders were issued quickly.
The troops sent by Zhang William to attack the city this time can undoubtedly be regarded as a well-trained elite force.
The wreckage of the siege bed and crossbow did not make them flinch.
Each of the elven soldiers began to operate the siege crossbows they were responsible for, under the pressure of being taken away by a shot of the defensive crossbow at any time.
On the other side, the elven archers who also received the order retreated to the left and right wings of the entire battle formation.
Then, one by one, they were seen bending their bows [New Biquge www.xxbiquge.xyz] to set up arrows, and then quickly aimed their arrows at an angle of nearly 50 degrees in the sky above their heads.
Immediately afterwards, Lombard gave an order.
The elven archers fired arrows at the same time.
A volley was fired immediately.
An overwhelming rain of arrows almost fell from the sky.
Pressing against the wall of Hotsand City!
When learning the range of the elf archers on the opposite side.
Zhao Pan was obviously already guarding against this move.
Because no matter what kind of archer, there are basically only two ways to attack on the battlefield.
One is through shot and the other is overhead shot.
Penetration shooting is equivalent to a straight-line sniper shot. The arrows shot are almost in a straight line.
It is an attack with the purpose of killing the enemy in front of you and penetrating the enemy's body with one arrow. The accuracy and lethality of this attack are very impressive.
The lob shot is an auxiliary method. After being shot, it has a huge parabola and can fly farther.
However, there is basically not much power left when shooting the bow and arrow. The power depends entirely on the inertia when falling, and the accuracy has also decreased, so it is generally used to suppress the enemy's formation or provide cover.
Invariable, apart from these two attack modes, it is difficult for archers to have a third attack mode on the battlefield.
After confirming this, people will not feel overwhelmed.
But even so, Zhao Pan was undoubtedly the first to encounter a lob shot from four hundred meters away.
Neither the human archers nor the orc archers have such an exaggerated shooting range.
In previous siege battles, the only thing that could threaten the wall at that distance was the siege bed crossbow!
The range advantage of the elven archers on the opposite side was greater than he expected.
If you leave it alone.
They were unable to fight back, and the siege troops on the opposite side could advance unscrupulously.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhao Pan's steady voice sounded on the wall again.
"The three-bow crossbows No. 1 and No. 6 switch to scatter-arrow mode and attack the elf archer troops on the left and right wings outside the city respectively. The remaining three-bow crossbows use all their strength to destroy the siege equipment on the opposite side!"
This elf archer's ultra-long-range lob suppression is an unsolvable offensive for most players in the same rank.
Just like the advantages of Luo Ji's three-bow bed crossbow at that time.
However, facing this range, the ‘loose arrows’ that Xuan Ye had developed before were just enough to counterattack!
The goblin soldiers manipulating three-bow crossbows moved quickly.
The surrounding shield-bearing soldiers are responsible for protecting their safety.
The specially-made 'loose arrows' were quickly installed.
During this period, the siege crossbows of the elven army outside the city were naturally not idle.
Directly towards the wall of Hot Sand City, the first round of volley was launched!
However, the skills of the elf soldiers on the opposite side in operating siege equipment were obviously not as skilled as the goblin soldiers.
At the same time, there is also the psychological pressure of being beaten at any time.
The first salvo they vowed to make ended dismally.
Although they were not all hit, they all fell onto the city wall.
But Lombard's goal at this time was obviously not the city wall.
To him, hitting the city wall of Hotsand City was not much different from hitting it empty.
However, he is a veteran on the battlefield after all.
Lombard was quite calm.
He knew that large ordnance such as siege bed crossbows needed to slowly adjust the attack angle based on the impact point of each attack.
Within three rounds of volleys, if you can destroy a defensive bed crossbow on the opposite side, that's high accuracy.
If you can destroy the target in the second round, you are at the level of a marksman.
As for their siege bed crossbow, it was destroyed by the first round of fire from the opponent.
Even Zhao Pan and the goblin soldier who fired that shot had to admit that there was a lot of luck involved.
Unless the target is too big, such as city walls, city gates, and sentry towers.
Otherwise, if you want to hit the target with one hit in the first round of firing, and say there is no luck involved, then it is most likely false.
The offensive from both sides continues.
Compared with the unceasing suppression of the elf army outside the city.
The counterattack from Hotsand City was relatively weak.
But it’s definitely powerful enough!
Take advantage of the opponent's siege bed and reload the crossbow.
The defensive bed crossbow on the head of the hot sand city wall fired again!
After the simple adjustments of the attack angle by the goblin soldiers, the hit rate has been significantly improved.
At that time, only another loud roar was heard.
There was no direct hit. One of the heavy crossbow arrows that flew out probably only scratched the edge of the siege bed crossbow.
But the tyrannical power was enough to damage the siege bed crossbow.
At the same time, the special scattered arrows shot towards the left and right wings also opened with two "bang, bang" sounds.
The rain of arrows scattered all over the sky like a goddess scattering flowers, swept directly towards the formation of the elven archers below! If you want to chat about "Civilized Lords of All Realms" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat,
