Chapter 1: The Butcher's Knife for Killing Chickens (Part 2)

Crossbow, a veritable Chinese weapon and human weapon, is the most terrifying long-range weapon in Chinese history. Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows have obvious advantages: longer range, greater lethality, simple operation, and high accuracy.

The crossbow consists of three parts: a bow, a crossbow arm and a crossbow machine. The bow is mounted horizontally at the front end of the crossbow arm, and the crossbow machine is installed at the back end of the crossbow arm. The crossbow arm is used to support the bow, support the strings, and support the user; the crossbow machine is used to pull the strings and launch. There is no limit on using a crossbow. No matter how strong the crossbow is, it can be fired by just gently pulling the crossbow machine. This is the so-called "four taels" to make a pound. Western scholars believe that the crossbow machine from the Warring States Period in China can be matched with the modern rifle, and is one of the outstanding achievements of ancient human engineering technology.

In fact, in the long era of cold weapons, there are only two types of strong soldiers that China can show off: crossbow soldiers and Mongolian cavalry!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the army of China had already begun to equip crossbows. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, crossbows were often used as suppressive weapons. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, crossbows were used to describe military power. "Those who are good at fighting have a dangerous momentum and short momentum. The momentum is like an expanded crossbow, and the momentum is like a starting machine." The status of the crossbow can be seen.

Later, after the production and use of crossbows were passed to Europe, it caused a considerable shock. In the European countries where knights were respected, the appearance of crossbows made them very embarrassed. Any farmer only needed simple practice to easily kill a "noble" knight trained since childhood. For this reason, crossbows were once banned.

When Song Zhong saw the soldiers from Fengxiang Town take out the crossbow, his face turned pale.

"Hurry, everyone charge!" Song Zhong's voice trembled. The Yellow Turban Army's slowly approaching was to rely on the advantage of numbers to create pressure on the enemy. Song Zhong never expected that all the soldiers in Fengxiang Town were equipped with a pair of crossbows, which was too despicable! If they didn't charge, they would be shot all over. Not only the thousand forwards in front, but also the 1,200 Yellow Turban Army behind them were also engaged in the battle, and they ran with their arms around and were so happy!

Facing Fengxiang Town's crossbow arrows, Song Zhong chose to charge, not because of the bravery of this general. Fengxiang Town's crossbow soldiers welcomed the Yellow Turban Army to retreat, so that they could stand in place and shoot wildly on their foreheads. Now the two armies are only a hundred steps apart, and there is still a chance to rush forward, and they only need to survive these hundred steps!

But these hundred steps are obviously not so easy to pass. Under the rain of arrows in Fengxiang Town, each step forward will be paid accordingly.

Ju Yi's "three-stage shooting" requirement is carried out without fail. The so-called three-stage shooting refers to: first row shooting, second row standby, third row loading arrows. When the first row completes the shooting, it immediately retreats to the third row and repeats itself to maintain continuous firepower and damage.

More than 2,200 Yellow Turban soldiers, although 1,500 of them were replaced with the standard equipment of regular soldiers of the Han Dynasty, these equipment had almost no effect in front of the crossbow arrows with amazing penetration, and even saw the phenomenon of one arrow piercing through two people. The screams and wailing outside Fengxiang Town were endless. After only thirty steps, more than 300 Yellow Turbans were shot to the ground.

The Yellow Turbans are still 70 steps away from the troops in Fengxiang Town. The Yellow Turbans, which do not have long-range weapons, can only rush forward, hoping to break through a bloody road by relying on the sea of ​​people tactics. The 1,200 people in the Yellow Turbans behind the Yellow Turbans should not be about 20 steps away. Now the soldiers under Ju Yi have not had time to take care of them. 120VS2,200, the huge gap in the number of people is there, and it is understandable that some people are not well cared for.

A Niu looked silently. Even though he knew that this was just a game, the blood on the battlefield still made A Niu feel like he wanted to vomit. People who had not experienced it personally could not know the taste. The war in the age of cold weapons was so cruel. To some extent, it was completely using flesh and blood to exchange for victory.

"The lord doesn't need to be sad. This is what it is in troubled times. Stop the sword and fight for martial arts. Sometimes killing people is to avoid more people being killed." Chen Gong saw the painful expression on A Niu's face - in fact, it was because he wanted to vomit and comforted the kind lord.

For major events like the Yellow Turban attack on the town, except for Pang Tong, who was still tireless in teaching in the school, everyone in Fengxiang Town was paying attention to the progress of the battle. In addition to Chen Gong and Li Qi, the transferred generals of Fengxiang Town, Zhao Xue and others were also on the scene.

"Murder is to avoid more people being killed..." A Niu said softly, and the discomfort in his stomach gradually faded, and the expression on his face also calmed down a lot. Chen Gong felt relieved when he saw this and said:

"Lord, I'm afraid Ju Yi needs help. The Yellow Turban team is less than fifty steps away from our army, and there are still about 500 people left. At this speed, consider that crossbowmen should not shoot in the near future. When Ju Yi's troops began to contact and fight, there were at least 200 Yellow Turbans."

"Well, I believe Ju Yi can handle the Yellow Turbans in the front team well. The actions of the 1,200 people in the future need to be restrained, otherwise Ju Yi may suffer a loss." A Niu's head returned to normal and quickly judged the situation.

Although some problems were seen, A Niu still frankly believed that he did not have enough ability to lead troops to fight a war. "The public station commands directly, I'll watch your performance here." A Niu's face didn't blush when he said this.

Chen Gong smiled and said, although this lord was not as good as a martial artist, he had at least one advantage: he did not doubt the use of people and used them well. Chen Gong did not refuse and began to issue orders.

"Li Erxia, Liu Sanxia, ​​the martial arts in your hands are divided into two teams to attack the Yellow Turban Rear Team. Li Erxia leads a team, kills from the left front to the right rear; Liu Sanxia has a team, kills from the right front to the left rear. After penetrating the enemy formation, then return along the original path. Don't fight in the middle, just strive forward. In this way, the Yellow Turban Rear Team will be in chaos!"

Li Qi and Liu Xing had been waiting for itchy palms, and Chen Gong was loyal to A Niu, so the two of them also had a good impression of Chen Gong. They left happily at the moment.

"Gao Shun, you will set out with the 'Staped Camp' and wait for the two heroes Li and Liu to disrupt the enemy's formation and immediately intercept the Yellow Turbans head-on. The Yellow Turbans in the back team are not allowed to approach Ju Yi."

"Gao Shun takes the order!" Finally, there was no need to stare at me, Gao Shun was ecstatic.

"Lu Han, Di Yun, you two bring all the generals to support Ju Yi, and use the shortest time to clear the Yellow Turbans of the front team, and then work together to deal with the Yellow Turbans behind the front team."

Lu Han and Di Yun are the two most outstanding generals trained by Fengxiang Town. Chen Gong is familiar with the characteristics and abilities of these two people. In fact, even if the generals are not sent to help Ju Yi, the fate of the Yellow Turbans in the front team will not change. However, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and quickly work together to deal with the enemies behind, Chen Gong still sent them out.

Now Lu Han and Di Yun were as if they had collided with Mark Six, and it was finally time for a group of junior generals in Fengxiang Town to perform! The generals who had never been given a heavy heart and had a little inferiority complex immediately could not stop drinking caustic soda water.

Before going into battle, these "trash generals" did not forget to give Chen Gong a seductive look... Thank you! Chen Gong was shocked and coldly warned.

************************************************************************************�

When Fengxiang Town invested almost all the troops under the sun, the battle could have been declared over in advance. This "strength performance" was a bit suspicious of killing chickens. In fact, although these Yellow Turbans have many people, they don't need to invest so much strength.

However, what A Niu wants is this effect, "missiles hit mosquitoes, and kill chickens with a ox knife". Using the powerful posture of a lion fighting rabbits, it shows Fengxiang Town's determination and strength to defend itself! After this battle, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely think about it for a few more minutes before coming to Fengxiang Town to fight the autumn wind.
