Chapter 230 Tank Array
After taking two deep breaths, Wang Lucong adjusted his mentality and made up his mind to test the depth of the opponent. Moreover, this time he brought his own siege weapon for the time being. If he retreated directly, wouldn't he have to die?
Thinking of this, Wang Lucong waved his hand and signaled his troops to start pushing the siege equipment to the outside plain, hiding in the woods even if they couldn't even set up the formation, but there was no way to launch a siege directly.
The movement in the distance obviously caught Luo Ji's attention. With the telescope in his hand, after seeing clearly the siege equipment used by the opponent, Luo Ji's pupils shrank, "Bed crossbow..."
Luo Ji was not surprised by the fact that Wang Lu Cong had a bed crossbow, because the earliest bed crossbows themselves were their siege weapons during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Bronze rank players possessed a bed crossbow as a siege weapon. What a strange thing, and his three-bow bed crossbow belongs to the final enhanced version of the 'bed crossbow' series.
The crossbow that appeared on the opposite side undoubtedly proved that he was right in building the city wall with all his strength. Luo Ji was not afraid of him. For a siege weapon, it was useless to stretch the maximum range. The important thing was the effective range.
Take his three-bow crossbow, for example. According to records, it has a maximum range of more than 1,500 meters, which is one of the highest range records in the cold weapon era. The heavy crossbow bolts shot out are basically no power at all. If you want to know how much the effective range is, the easiest way is to directly cut the maximum range in half. The figure obtained is almost the limit of the effective range. Of course , is not very accurate, probably that's what it means.
The bed crossbow that Wang Lu Cong launched is at least several times behind him, and it is not comparable to his three-bow bed crossbow in terms of range and power. As long as the opponent cannot attack him outside his range, the advantage is undoubtedly. It's on his side!
However, after all, it is a player of the bronze rank. As soon as you come up, the battle is quite large. It is very extravagant to have a large shield soldier to protect the two bed crossbows and push forward, followed by a siege. The car, needless to say, is a fairly typical siege configuration.
The following arms were successively shield axemen, halberdiers and archers. The three arms formed three neat phalanxes and moved slowly behind the siege equipment. There were a lot of people, as expected of bronze. A veteran of the rank, without knowing the configuration of his arms, can send hundreds of troops to attack the city as soon as he comes up, which is really different from those newcomers who are still in the novice village without a rank.
Luo Ji is not panicking. After the population explosion in the previous period, the military strength in his civilization has long since changed, and with the help of this city wall, he can play an even greater advantage. That's the height advantage!
Long-range arms can get longer range and combat power by standing in high ground areas or high places. This is not only shown in some games, because it is true in reality. This is a parabolic problem, so I won't do much here. Repeat.
Orders were issued quickly one after another. Originally, Luo Ji relied more on the slingers in the battle of defending the city, but considering the threat of the two crossbows on the opposite side, he arranged another army of archers on the city wall. When something unexpected happens, he can adapt accordingly.
After all, the equipment of today's archer troops has also been improved. The horn bows of the grassland people gave Ye Xuan inspiration. After some renovations, today's archer troops have a longer range and stronger power.
Luo Ji already knew what routine the other party was going to use. It was nothing more than to destroy his city gate and city wall with two bed crossbows first, and then wait until the city gate was completely smashed by the bed crossbow, or after all the heavy crossbow arrows used for bed crossbows were used up, Let the infantry units push the siege vehicle to start the siege, which is the most common siege routine, and it is also the classic style of play that has been used for many years
With a simple gesture of raising his hand, the slingers and archers who had already boarded the city wall entered the preparation stage one after another. With the monocular in his hand, Luo Ji continued to stare at each other's movements. At the same time as the city wall was built, he had already He has reconfirmed the attack range of the two arms, so he knows where the slinger can hit the target and where the archer can hit the target. He can only wait for the opponent to enter the attack range. Directly signaled the troops behind to fire.
However, the range of the opponent's early bed crossbow was a bit beyond his expectations. It was not impossible for the slingers to hit that position, but it was a little reluctant.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji's gesture changed, "The slingers temporarily retreat, and the archers step forward! The target, the two crossbows outside the city, prepare to fire in salvos! Fire arrows!!"
With an order, a large rain of arrows flew out! As the siege party facing this arrow rain, a look of surprise flashed in Wang Lucong's eyes. He obviously did not expect that the range of the opponent's archers was actually farther than he expected, but after all, he was an old bird, no As for being frightened by this battle, the response was fairly quick, and I only heard loudly shouting orders, "Large Shield Troops, form a shield formation! Cover the bed crossbow to fire!!"
Following Wang Lucong's order, large shields like door panels were quickly put together to form a shield wall, which protected the bed crossbow and the soldiers who controlled the bed crossbow. For the issue of firing, a space large enough to shoot heavy crossbow arrows was deliberately reserved.
Seeing this, Luo Ji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This formation is a bit interesting. It should have been made with reference to the shape of the tank. The accident was quite an idea. On the battlefield of weapons, you can also come up with a lot of interesting things.
"Bang! Bang!" There were two loud noises in succession, and the heavy crossbow arrows that flew through the air directly hit the majestic city wall of Mingjing City. When two small pits were smashed on the wall, they also exposed themselves. weakness.
The earliest bed crossbows, excluding power and range, also had a rather troublesome flaw, that is, the accuracy was poor! The accuracy of the heavy crossbow arrows shot by itself is already poor enough. In this case, the tank formation that directly protects the bed crossbow and soldiers inside is also placed. This formation almost completely blocks the soldiers behind. The field of vision can only be confirmed and adjusted by the words of another soldier. Seriously, this is really a tank-style play, but the result is that the accuracy becomes worse!
