Chapter 658 Discipline and Trust

Looking at the airtight shield wall at the head of the hot sand city wall.

This time, Lombar was really stunned.

Immediately, the whole face suddenly became solemn.

What the opposing garrison troops did just now.

Simple to look at and simple to say.

Isn't it just to let the soldiers who are maintaining the shield wall in front get out of the way while the defensive bed crossbows are firing?

But it is such a simple thing, but it is not simple at all!

Shooting with a defensive crossbow behind the shield wall and firing a bow and arrows behind the shield wall are two different concepts.

A large ordnance of the bed crossbow level is not as easy to control as a bow and arrow or a hand crossbow.

This is not the first time I have said it.

Those big shields blocking the front, the crossbow firing in the back?

In case the soldier operating the crossbow guarding the city misses.

Or what happened to the defensive crossbow, causing the attack trajectory to deviate.

That big shield soldier standing in front is the end of a dead without a place to be buried!

It's like standing in front of the muzzle of a cannon when it fires.

As long as it is a person, it will be afraid and nervous.

What this defending force has just shown is discipline and trust!

This is an army of iron discipline and absolute trust between soldiers!

How could such a force be easy to deal with?

Realizing this, Lombard completely lost the casualness and calmness at the beginning, and his whole expression became obviously serious.

"Bed crossbows continue to attack! The archers spread out left and right, retreat to the two wings, and carry out lob shooting cover!"

A series of orders are issued quickly.

The troop sent by Zhang William to attack the city this time is undoubtedly a well-trained elite troop.

The wreckage of the siege crossbow didn't hold them back.

One by one, the soldiers of the elf tribe began to face the pressure that they might be taken away by the defending crossbow at any time, and began to control the siege crossbow that they were responsible for.

On the other side, the elven archers who also received the order retreated to the left and right flanks of the entire battle formation.

Afterwards, I saw them bending bows and arrows one by one, and then quickly aimed the crosshairs of the arrows at a height of nearly fifty degrees above their heads.

Immediately afterwards, Lombard gave an order.

The elven archers fired arrows at the same time.

A salvo shot out immediately.

The overwhelming rain of arrows almost fell from the sky.

Pressed against the wall of Hot Sand City!

When learning the range of the opposing elf archer.

Zhao Pan was obviously already guarding against this.

Because no matter what archer, on the battlefield, there are basically only two ways to attack.

One is through shot, the other is lob shot.

Through shooting, it is equivalent to straight-line sniping, and the arrows shot are almost in a straight line.

It is an attack with the purpose of shooting the enemy in front of you with an arrow and penetrating the enemy's body. This attack has a very impressive accuracy and lethality.

The lob shot is an auxiliary means. After shooting, it has a huge parabola and can fly farther.

However, there is basically not much power left when the bow and arrows are released. The power depends entirely on the inertia when falling, and the accuracy is also reduced, so it is generally used to suppress the enemy's army or take cover.

Invariably, on the battlefield, in addition to these two attack modes, it is difficult to add a third type of archer's attack mode.

After confirming this, it will not make people feel overwhelmed.

But even so, it was undoubtedly the first time Zhao Pan had encountered a lob shot from 400 meters away.

Neither the archers of their human race nor the fox archers of the orc race have such an exaggerated range.

In previous siege battles, only the siege crossbow could threaten the wall at that distance!

The elven archer's range advantage was greater than he expected.

If left alone.

They couldn't fight back, and the siege troops on the opposite side could advance unscrupulously.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pan's steady voice resounded on the wall again.

"The No. 1 and No. 6 triple-bow crossbows switched to the scattered arrow mode, respectively attacking the elf archer troops on the left and right flanks outside the city, and the remaining three-bow crossbows destroyed the siege equipment on the opposite side with all their strength!"

This elf archer's ultra-long-range lob suppression is an unsolvable attack for the vast majority of players in the same rank.

Just like Luo Ji's advantage of the three-bow bed crossbow at that time.

However, in the face of this range, the 'scattered arrow' that Michelle Ye had researched before was just able to counterattack!

The goblin soldiers operating the three-bow crossbows moved quickly.

The surrounding shield-wielding soldiers are responsible for their safety.

A special 'scattered arrow' was quickly installed.

During this period, the siege crossbow of the elf army outside the city was naturally not idle.

Directly towards the wall of Hot Sand City, launched the first round of salvos!

However, the elf soldiers on the opposite side were obviously not as skilled in manipulating siege equipment as the goblin soldiers.

At the same time, coupled with the psychological pressure that may be exploded at any time.

The first round of salvos they swore to make ended bleakly.

Although it was not empty, it all fell on the city wall.

But at this time Lombard's goal is clearly not the wall.

To him, hitting the wall of Hot Sand City was not much different from hitting empty.

However, after all, is a veteran of the battlefield.

Lombard was quite calm.

He knew that a large ordnance like a siege crossbow needed to slowly adjust the attack angle through the landing point of each attack.

Within three rounds of salvo, it can destroy a defensive crossbow on the opposite side, which is highly accurate.

In the second round, the target can be destroyed, which is the level of the marksman.

As for their siege crossbow that was destroyed by the first round of fire from the opposite side.

Even Zhao Pan and the goblin soldiers who carried out the shot had to admit that it was a lot of luck.

Unless the target is too big, like walls, gates, and sentry towers.

Otherwise, if you want to fire in the first round and hit it with one hit, saying that there is no luck in it, it is probably false.

The offensive on both sides continues.

Compared with the continuous lobbing suppression of the elves outside the city for a while.

The counterattack on Hot Sand City's side was relatively weak.

But definitely strong enough!

Take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's siege crossbow to restart the crossbow.

The defensive crossbow on the top of the hot sand city wall fired again!

After the simple adjustment of the attack angle by the goblin soldiers, the hit rate was decisively improved significantly.

At that time, only another loud roar was heard.

There was no direct hit, and one of the heavy crossbow bolts that flew out should have only scratched the edge of the siege crossbow.

But that tyrannical power was enough to damage the siege crossbow.

At the same time, the specially-made scattered arrows shot towards the left and right wings also opened with two 'bang, bang' sounds.

The rain of arrows scattered like a goddess scattered the sky, swept directly towards the formation of the elf archers below!
