Chapter 218 Arrow Rain Brilliant

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!" Whoosh!

With a roar, tens of thousands of crossbowmen shot all the arrows in their hands, and in an instant, a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

Falling towards the enemy's army formation.

The pitch-black crossbow bolts, the dark matte on the arrowheads, have a bloodthirsty edge.

Chi Chi Chi!

"Damn it! Shielder, hurry up and raise your shield!"

At this moment, hundreds of people died tragically, and the generals of Xiliang's eyes were tearing apart.

"Rush for me, rush in and kill them"

"Triple Shot"

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

Gao Hu looked at the Xiliang army that was about to rush over, without a trace of fear on his face, instead he showed a bloodthirsty smile.

The 20,000 crossbowmen continuously released the crossbow arrows, and within a breath, they quickly installed the crossbow arrows.

The range of the bow and crossbow is more than one hundred feet, not to mention the lethality.

At a distance of one hundred feet, the cavalry in Xiliang may only need a few breaths, but for the infantry, it takes more than twenty breaths, which is enough for their crossbowmen to shoot a dozen crossbow arrows.

Two to three hundred thousand arrows can cause enough lethality.

The crossbow arrows turned into dark clouds and fell from the sky, launching a bloody massacre against Xiliang's army.

Their crossbow arrows are all heavy arrows, which are extremely lethal. Without armor protection, as long as they hit a vital point, there is almost no possibility of survival.

"My lord, this Xiliang army is really fierce. Even after suffering such a blow, they still didn't retreat, but rushed forward even more fiercely."

On the high platform of the Chinese army, Xi Zhicai stood beside Su Fan, looking at the front line, the Xiliang army that was about to rush in, and said with a serious face.

"These Xiliang generals have rich combat experience. As long as they retreat now, the damage is still serious. Why not rush in and kill our crossbowmen?"

"Obviously these generals know that our crossbowmen are powerful and want to kill them"

Su Fan saw through the enemy's plan at a glance, but would he let those people do what they wanted?

Of course it's impossible.

The advantages and disadvantages of crossbow soldiers are obvious. Long-range strikes are very powerful, and they are usually guarded by sword and shield soldiers or spearmen in close combat.

Moreover, Su Fan's crossbowmen, in addition to the crossbow arrows, also had a simple knife behind them. Throwing away the crossbow, they could turn into sword soldiers.

His soldiers are all soldiers waiting to give birth. In addition to training every day, they are training, physical fitness and military skills. It can be said that every soldier can be regarded as a master of weapons.

Almost all can be adapted to all kinds of infantry, and even once the horses are obtained in the wild, they can also be transformed into cavalry.

It's just that Su Fan doesn't have so many horses under his command.

In close combat, Su Fan's crossbowmen were not bad at all. They were wearing battle armor and holding excellent plain knives. Except for fighting will and experience, they were inferior to Xiliang soldiers, and they had advantages in other aspects.

Especially weapons and equipment.

The value of an ordinary soldier of Su Fan's body is estimated to be more than five times that of a Xiliang soldier.

Don't look at the leather armor on these crossbowmen, but in fact, there are pieces of iron wrapped in their leather armor.

In recent years, the total amount of steel production under Su Fan's rule has also been increasing, and the current annual output value has reached one million tons.

Therefore, if the army is equipped with iron armor, it has reached the lowest level of soldiers.

It's pretty scary.

The armor rate of the army in this world may be higher than the peak in ancient history, but iron armor is still very rare.

The Imperial Army and Frontier Army of the Shen-Han Dynasty had the highest rate of wearing armor, fully 70%, but the soldiers at the bottom, most of the armor they wore were made of wood chips and bamboo chips, and those who could have leather armor, They are all low-ranking officers.

As for the iron armor, almost all of them are officers above the military marquis.

It is this super high armor rate that makes Shenhan's army invincible.

Especially in the frontier army, the reason why the Shenhan's army can suppress the aliens is because of their superior equipment.

In terms of physical fitness alone, ordinary soldiers cannot compare with those of other races.

After all, there is still a big gap between a vegetarian and a meat eater.

However, relying on equipment and military tactics, the divine man has suppressed the alien race for thousands of years. .

More than 70% of Su Fan's current army is in iron armor, even though it's just an iron armor wrapped in leather armor.

The defense is not much worse than ordinary iron armor, after all, it is considered two layers of armor.

Therefore, after the hand-to-hand combat, Su Fan's army still performed very well. Indeed, in terms of fighting ability, the experienced Xiliang army may have some advantages.

However, in fact, when the two armies met, and the sword and shield soldiers who came out first from both sides of the crossbowmen and the Xiliang infantry were fighting, the advantage was on Su Fan's side.

"Damn it!"

"Mingjin retreats!"

The two armies fought, and the generals of both sides also rushed up. There were quite a few gangsters under Su Fan's camp. Zang Ba didn't move, but Gao Niu and Gao Hu went in.

Both of them are gang-refining generals, and they can take away a large area with a sweep of gang qi.

Under the leadership of the two, the sword and shield soldiers began to counterpress the Xiliang infantry.

In just one cup of tea, the 10,000 Xiliang army lost no less than 2,000 in the scuffle, and in addition to the previous charge, they lost no less than several hundred from being shot by arrows.

Nearly three thousand was lost at once.

Before the leading generals could react, the horns were blown in the Xiliang camp. Upon hearing the sound, the Xiliang infantry fled back one after another.

This battle also made these Xiliang infantrymen feel different, and their original pride was hit a lot.

They understand that the objects they are fighting against today are not like those before.

"General Niu, the last general is incompetent and has led the army to suffer heavy losses. I also ask the general to surrender."

The vanguard general who led the troops returned to the camp and quickly pleaded guilty to Niu Fu. The latter looked at this man with a gloomy expression, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Although these Xiliang infantrymen are not the most elite fighters of the Xiliang frontier army, they are also direct descendants of Xiliang, and the loss of three thousand troops today is not small.

You know, in the previous war for more than half a month, so many soldiers and horses were not lost.

He has only 200,000 soldiers and horses here, of which the real Xiliang elite is only 50,000, of which there are only 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and 40,000 infantry.

As for the other 150,000 troops, they were all collected from the local area. They are strong and powerful, and they can win battles. Once there is a headwind, I am afraid that the 150,000 troops will become a threat instead.

"Pull it out and hit eighty boards again"

Niu Fu said something coldly.

"General, wait a minute"

Just when Niu Fu's personal guards were about to make a move in the camp, Xu Rong who was sitting next to him quickly got up and said.

"Hmm! Do you have anything to say?"

Niu Fu was a little displeased.

"General, today's battle is not a crime of war, this time the army is extraordinary"

"From my point of view, the army that appeared this time is awe-inspiring, dense, and well-equipped. I am afraid it is the elite army of the Kanto princes."

"Vice General Li's loss today is really normal and not careless."
