Chapter 2039: Revealing the Edge

Although its lethality is not as strong as that of crossbow carts and crossbows, it cannot effectively destroy buildings such as city walls.

But its greatest function is not to attack the city, but to kill the enemy.

Because of its fast speed and easy operation, the speed of killing is also amazing.

Unless the opponent reacts quickly enough and prepares for defense in advance.

Otherwise, let alone ordinary people, even a high-level general like Zhang Jun would be in trouble if he was hit by a bow or crossbow.

If the distance is far and the hit position is not a vital part, it may just make him injured, not to lose mobility immediately, and he can still fight for a while.

But if the distance is close, or if some vital parts are hit directly, it is not as simple as losing mobility and combat effectiveness.

It is very likely that he will lose too much blood and be in danger, or even die on the spot.

This is the terrible thing about bows and crossbows, although he cannot cause large-scale killing like catapults and crossbows.

But he can break the weak points, and every hit can cause huge damage to the enemy, even if he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin.

So just now we said that no matter how high Zhang Jun's personal martial arts value is, he is just a person, not a god.

He is also just a mortal. If he is attacked by weapons such as bows and crossbows, he can only dodge by body skills, or use other equipment to defend, such as shields and other anti-penetration things to resist the attack of bows and crossbows.

Because it is difficult to do it by body skills alone, because whether it is a bow or a crossbow, his shooting speed is extremely terrifying.

Maybe you just saw him shoot out, and before you react, you may be hit by him.

Bows and arrows may be better, their shooting speed is much slower than crossbows, as long as the distance is not too close, it is possible to dodge by body skills.

Even if you don't run away at the first time, as long as you react quickly enough, you can dodge the hit of the bow and arrow by body skills.

Because bows and arrows are generally fired into the sky in a parabolic manner, and then fall vertically according to the acceleration of gravity, causing damage.

So as long as you judge the attack direction before the bow and arrow fall, you have a chance to dodge his attack.

But crossbows are different. Not only does it exceed bows and arrows in terms of shooting speed, but its attack method is also different from bows and arrows.

Bows and arrows are parabolic. Unless the distance is close enough, if you want to hit the target at a long distance, you can only take a parabola.

But crossbows are different. No matter whether the distance is long or short, as long as it is within its range, it attacks in a straight line.

It does not need to kill the enemy through gravity acceleration in a parabolic way. Its attack method is the simplest and most direct. Just aim and shoot directly.

Because the arrows of bows and arrows are generally longer, so if they are in a straight line, the speed is not much faster, and the range is also shorter.

As for crossbows, its arrows are only about one-third of bows and arrows, and its weight is only one-third of ordinary arrows.

This is why the shooting speed of crossbows is so fast.

In addition, because the arrows are relatively short, it is difficult to block them with weapons even if you want to.

Unlike bows and arrows, if you are far enough away and well prepared, you can use weapons to shoot down arrows.

This is why crossbows are called hidden weapons.

Even if you see the opponent firing with your naked eyes, even if you are prepared in advance, it is difficult to escape his attack.

So you can only defend with a shield, or hide behind some thick buildings to resist the attack of crossbows in this way.

Otherwise, if you want to rely on your body to resist, and want to shoot down arrows with your fists, it is just a foolish dream.

Not to mention that high-level generals like Zhang Jun can't do it, even if a super general like Lu Bu is attacked by a crossbow, he can't just rely on his fists to collide head-on.

Although Lu Bu is about to take the last step and become the first powerful person in the Sky Island world to reach the realm of perfection.

But before taking this step, Lu Bu is just a person after all, just a mortal body.

At most, his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and his reaction ability and body movements are many times faster than those of ordinary people.

However, if he does not block with weapons or directly fight with some skills, even he will find it difficult to remain unscathed.

However, what is really terrifying about Lu Bu is his special skill. Just like the special skill of "momentum" for the strong who have mastered the integration, the strong who have reached the pinnacle also have his own exclusive skills.

If this exclusive skill is used, then unless someone sneaks up on him, once he is prepared, things like crossbows and bows are like gadgets to him.

It is basically impossible to hurt him with such gadgets.

Not to mention that Lu Bu, the world's number one master of Sky Island, will not be injured, even a strong man in the late stage of integration like Wang Kapu will not be injured when facing things like crossbows and arrows.

Because once his exclusive skill "momentum" is released, it can stop time for a short time.

Of course, it is not a real stop, to be more precise, it can make time slow down.

Once the flow of time slows down, the speed of the crossbow arrow will naturally slow down as well.

The most terrifying thing about crossbows is that they shoot fast enough. Once the speed slows down, their attack power will naturally be greatly reduced.

Because no matter how powerful a weapon is, it must hit the target to be useful. Once it becomes as slow as a turtle, the opponent can at least dodge easily, not to mention defense.

If you can't hit others, no matter how powerful you are, it's useless.

Just like catapults and crossbows can only be used to attack buildings such as city walls and palaces.

Once you use catapults and crossbows to attack a person alone, and it's a person who keeps moving, then catapults and crossbows will become decorations.

Because it's impossible to hit the enemy, no matter how powerful you are, it's just empty, far less useful than those bows and crossbows that can hit others.

Because being able to hit is the kingly way, everything else is empty talk, all paper talk.

For a force, even if it's just the weakest small force.

They may not have too many catapults and crossbows, but they will definitely have a lot of equipment such as crossbows and bows.

Not to mention full equipment, but it is not difficult for at least half of the members of a faction to have such equipment.

Because the price of a single catapult and crossbow cart can be equivalent to hundreds of crossbows and bows.
