"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Barak's guards tried their best to deflect the crossbow bolts fired by the Han army's crossbow machines. The defensive shield blocked the crossbow bolts with the steel plate in the center, but then
The incoming force was such that the Guardsmen who tried to parry were almost overturned.
Without a force-relieving talent, it would be very easy to be fatal to a mutant shield guard's long-range attack. Even if the distance is relatively far, the mutant shield guard uses a crossbow machine after all.
Although there is only one word difference between a crossbow and a crossbow machine, it is equivalent to a sniper rifle and an anti-material sniper rifle. The former is used to attack people, while the latter can even be used to attack tanks.
In the same way, even though the mutant shield guards use light crossbows, which weigh about a hundred pounds, this kind of thing has been used to defeat defense facilities in history.
Even though this era has cloud energy and talents, the power of this kind of thing has also increased significantly. Just like now, the guard infantry under Barak's command was almost overturned when they were hit head-on without the ability to offload talents.
.
"Heavy infantry form a defensive formation!" Gumara loudly ordered. After the guard infantry was almost overturned, Gumara understood that such long-range strikes must not fall directly on those defenseless soldiers, even if they were
The shield cannot guarantee absolute blocking.
Layers of dense defenses were quickly formed, and the secret method of Kushan city defense quickly took shape with Gumara's link. The hexagonal honeycomb defense structure formed a thick buffer layer in front of the imperial guards infantry, which was originally invisible.
The qualityless cloud instantly turned into a liquid that was almost like running water, filling it in front of the arrow that shot towards it.
"Bang bang bang~" There was a continuous sound. Relying on the secret method of city defense and the super high defense of the imperial guards' heavy infantry, Beigui's soldiers successfully withstood Cao Zhang's counterattack before leaving.
"Arrow lock!" Barak ordered loudly, "Maintain the secret of city defense from the front, push forward laterally, and prepare the backup for the gun and shield soldiers!"
"It has exceeded the limit distance, and the projectile cannot guarantee the hit rate!" The elite shooter under Gumara quickly calculated the distance between the two sides and replied loudly.
Even though many legions have mastered the ability to transcend visual range, for most elite dual talents, the visual range is unlikely to be covered.
If the range exceeds a certain limit, it will have an impact on the rate of fire and accuracy. The elite shooters under Gu Mara are the most normal ones. What they want is the rate of fire and accuracy. The range only takes into account both, while the group of shooters under Cao Zhang's command are the most normal.
A strong man with a crossbow, not to mention the version enhanced by the essence of heaven and earth, even if it is the normal version, the range is calculated according to Li.
"Cavalry..." Gumara gritted his teeth and looked at Barak, and finally gave up the idea. The opponent's bows and arrows were really too powerful, and the arrows they used were like short spears. Although the cavalry under their command were still elite.
, but I absolutely cannot stand this kind of thing.
"Push them flat and catch up." Barak said through gritted teeth. The fighting power of this small army of three thousand people in the previous group even made Barak look sideways.
"The cavalry will hold back and wait until the opponent is tired, then attack from the flank." Barak quickly made up his mind. He must kill this legion. If not, this plan to stab the Han army in the back will be ruined.
.
On the other side, Cao Zhang ran as fast as a rabbit. His shield guards carried the large shield behind their backs, and then used the crossbow's shield position to counterattack.
"Get out, get out, how did these guys from Bei Gui come here, and they are so strong!" Cao Zhang cursed angrily, he never expected to meet Bei Gui's elite here.
What made Cao Zhang even more horrified was that the wave of crossbow bolts fired by his crossbow machine only killed dozens of Kushan soldiers. This was a thousand crossbow bolts. Although some of them had a hit rate problem, his subordinates
The soldiers have been training with crossbows for a long time, and they already have a feel for it, and most of them still cover the opponent's team.
But it was precisely because of the hit that Cao Zhang felt terrified. He actually caught the crossbow bolt from a crossbow less than a thousand steps away. Even if it was a light crossbow, this was terrifying enough. Although his own shield guards could also catch the crossbow bolt.
Something, but my large-scale shield guards are not here. I only have 3,000 people. There may not be 20,000 people on the opposite side. If they are caught, they will be hacked to death.
"Organize the troops!" After Cao Zhang ran for a while, he looked at the somewhat messy team and quickly ordered to organize the troops. The giant demanded that even if they retreat, there should be no chaos. If there is chaos, there will be only one way to escape. If there is no chaos, it means
There is still hope for a comeback.
Although I don’t know where the hope for a comeback lies, the big guy is certainly right.
"Why don't you run away at this time?" Niu Jin said a little big-headedly. He should not hang out with Cao Zhang, but should go to the sea with Sun Ce. Although he is a northerner, he will vomit when he goes to the sea, but vomiting is better than
It’s much safer to be chased and chopped down in the desert!
"Organize the troops, organize the troops. Don't throw away any supplies. Take the supplies and organize the troops and run." Cao Zhang quickly ordered. You must not abandon your helmets and armor. Ensuring the formation is the most important aspect of future counterattacks. If you run disorderly, then
This means that you only have one way to retreat. The formation is still five people per team leader, ten people per team leader, and fifty people per team. This means that you still have hope of counterattack.
"The opponent is almost catching up!" Niu Jin looked at Cao Zhang's mobilization of troops and said in a panic, "I'll go, the other side seems to be within shooting range, defend!"
The crackling rain of arrows fell. If Cao Zhang's army had been completely dispersed, this wave of arrows would definitely take away a few people, but now Cao Zhang once again organized the soldiers under his command, who had been trained by Zhu Jun into a shield of muscle instinct.
The guards defended themselves, hiding behind the big shield, hiding behind the big shield. Except for a few who received one or two arrows in their arms and legs, there were no fatal ones.
"Crossbow soldiers, fire arrows, line up and keep running!" Cao Zhang looked at the arrow on his body that did not penetrate the armor and ordered loudly. With two waves of Beigui's arrows, he counterattacked a wave of crossbow arrows, and then Cao Zhang again
He started to retreat, and it was obvious that he was running faster than Bei Gui.
After another three or five miles, Cao Zhang's team ran into chaos again. Cao Zhang once again cleaned up on the spot. Beigui once again caught up with Cao Zhang and gave Cao Zhang several arrows. This time, Cao Zhang did not completely block it and sacrificed a few soldiers to counterattack.
After two waves, Cao Zhang organized his men and soldiers to carry them away together, and continued to retreat.
The two sides chased each other all the way. After five or six times, it was dawn, and Gumala suddenly woke up. Could they have fallen into the opponent's trap?
"Barak, send the war eagle to explore the front to see if there is an ambush!" Gumala said angrily, "We have chased the other side all the way, and there is no mess on the other side until now."
"They fired tracer arrows and sounding arrows last night. If there was an ambush, they would have appeared long ago." Barak replied loudly.
"But they can run so well, and the legion is not in disarray after running all the way. On the other hand, our soldiers have suffered from physical problems due to long-term exercise, and our legion is already a bit in disarray." Gumara looked at him from a distance.
Barak said.
Balak looked ahead and was still running. He saw that the Han army was not weak at all and his face was green. They were so capable of running. Moreover, Gumara was right. The opponent's team did not see any disorder at all. To be precise, every time
Soon after the chaos, they will tidy up on the spot and reorganize the army.
It is precisely because of this behavior that the Kushan side can keep chasing the other side.
Thinking of this, Barak turned his head and looked at his soldiers. The physical exertion was already quite huge. After running for several hours without stopping, and carrying weapons and equipment, even the guards' physical strength was not unlimited.
After all, it's been dozens of miles.
"Release the war eagle!" Barak stared fiercely in Cao Zhang's direction and ordered loudly.
"The other side has released a war eagle!" Niu Jin looked at several eagles and owls appearing in the sky and shouted to Cao Zhang.
"Whatever, keep fighting them. I suddenly found that the other side can't seem to outrun us." Cao Zhang said excitedly, "We can use the crossbow to kill them."
"Each of us only brought twenty rounds of crossbow arrows for the crossbow machine!" Niu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of crossbow arrows are also heavy-duty. We can't carry too many. Now we have less than ten rounds."
"Stop, stop, stop, since it's not enough, let's get closer and fight them hard, and then we can run back quickly." Cao Zhang said with some annoyance, "If I had known that the other party couldn't catch up with us, we would have
We should hit them hard with crossbow arrows."
"Okay, let's do it!" Niu Jin nodded and said, "I've been chased by them for so long, so it's okay to kill them. And I still don't understand why you fired the tracer arrows and the sounding arrows after you started last night!"
"Big Brother said we were fighting on the battlefield, let's put this aside first." Cao Zhang replied casually. In fact, Cao Zhang didn't know that the ultra-high tracer arrow really saved their lives. Pang De and his group saw it on the horizon.
This thing just came all the way here.
"Okay, I hope the giant will protect us this time!" Niu Jin said loudly, "All soldiers, fill up the crossbows and prepare to fire arrows continuously. After this wave, we will withdraw!"
The soldiers of the Han army were a little worried at the beginning, but after running all the way, they calmed down. As for fatigue, it was not serious. They had run like this many times. Cao Zhang was not less beaten when he was chased and beaten by Xu Chu.
These people are not used to running with such intensity now, at least they are much better than Bei Gui's group.
"Yes!" Cao Zhang's shield guard holding a crossbow replied loudly. They were being chased all the way, and they were holding back their anger. If it was at the beginning, they would still be afraid, but now, go to hell!
Nine waves of crossbow bolts were shot out. It took some time to reload each wave, but Beigui's charge was still very difficult. The power of the crossbows was really strong, and Beigui's imperial guards infantry behind them were also very difficult.
Such a blow cannot be received under the protection of the secret art of city defense, as death will quickly cover it.
