There were more than a dozen people standing on the Wanglou, about two feet tall. They kept changing different flags to command the soldiers below to carry out various support and combat according to He Bai's orders wearing black plate armor.

He Bai's face was calm and commanded calmly. He was from the fast-paced self from later generations and was not overwhelmed by the slow offensive and defensive battles in ancient times and could not handle them. He Bai may not be able to make a brilliant plan and his fast assault command ability is average, but this kind of formal offensive and defensive battle is still easy to handle.

In any war, as long as the overall command of the army is smooth, mobilized, supported, and supplemented in time, it will be invincible first. Although He Bai only has more than 2,300 main infantry soldiers in his hands, he still feels at ease in the face of the crazy impact of nearly 20,000 enemy troops.

"Lord, the West corner is in urgent need!"

He Bai looked sideways and said that there were few soldiers. In order to ensure sufficient reserve soldiers, only two hundred combat soldiers, two hundred auxiliary soldiers, one hundred light cavalry archers, and four hundred Gongsun Army recruits were arranged to do odd jobs. When guarding the camp that was a thousand steps long on each side, at most one soldier could be arranged to hold on every two steps.

This is not a guarding city. There is no tall wall to support it. The shallow trenches have been filled with dead bodies, no different from the plains, with only wooden railings in the middle. According to the requirements, when He Jun camps for more than three days, they must build a wooden city. Yesterday, the camp was in a hurry and the supplies were insufficient, so the wooden railings in the camp were inevitably loose. Therefore, fighting to defend the camp can only arrange two steps and one army, which is too weak.

Especially at the intersection of the two sides, the enemy often took the opportunity to break through. At this time, there were only more than 60 soldiers guarding the west corner, but there were seven or eight hundred people on the attacking side. Seeing that the wooden railings of the camp were about to be cut open, He Bai urgently ordered: "Let the three hundred crossbowmen go over to support!"

"Yes!" The soldiers above first beat the drum and reminded the troops below to pass orders. They raised the horn and blew the trumpet sound of "three long and two short" representing the 300 crossbowmen, and then raised the White Tiger Flag representing the West and shook it three times.

With the order issued, the three hundred powerful crossbowmen who were on standby in the open space in the middle of the camp, led by a fourth-level non-commissioned officer who was good at shooting, quickly lined up in three columns and rushed to the west corner to help.

When we arrived behind our soldiers fighting fiercely around the gap, the powerful crossbowmen stopped and turned their bodies, and soon lined up in three rows of arc-shaped combat crossbows. The first row of crossbow soldiers aimed forward, although the backs of friendly soldiers in front of them, the second and third rows were one step away from each other, with their left foot in front of their right foot, and their bodies were tilted, lifting the crossbow downwards, and they were not ready to shoot.

After the arrangement was completed, the fourth-level non-commissioned officer shouted, and his powerful crossbowmen shouted rhythmically: "The wind and clouds are ready." Hearing the shouting behind him, the soldiers fighting in front of him did not look back, but shouted: "Panlong and Crouching Tiger." He immediately squatted down with his own shouting.

The enemy troops fighting on the other side looked at each other for no reason. When they saw the powerful crossbowman more than thirty steps away, the fourth-level non-commissioned officer shouted loudly: "Shoot!" The first row of crossbowmen gently pulled the crossbow machine, and a "bang" sounded, and one hundred crossbow arrows approached and shot, and all the 50 or 60 enemy troops who were attacking the camp were shot to death on the spot.

The soldiers wearing leather armor or not on the outside were even two or three people pierced together, while those standing under the wall were nailed to the wall. The powerful crossbow arrows passed through their thin bodies and flew backwards.

The enemy soldiers who broke into the army were killed, which immediately caused the enemy outside the camp to scream in horror: "It's another crossbow, slashing crossbow, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" Regardless of their shouting, the second crossbowman hurriedly handed over his crossbow to the first crossbowman, then took the air crossbow, bent over, stepped on his feet, led his waist, opened the crossbow, installed the crossbow arrow and prepared to shoot again.

The powerful crossbowmen in the first row ignored the screams and panicked enemy soldiers on the other side and fled, and continuously released their crossbow arrows into the gap. They took the crossbow of the third crossbowmen again and made a third volley. In an instant, the enemy inside and outside the wooden railing were immediately shot dead and injured more than 200 people. The enemy, who were lucky enough to survive, ignored the screams on the ground, and the comrades who were struggling dyingly rolled and crawled and ran away.

The infantry guarding the camp did not chase after him, cheered and immediately blocked the gap with the new recruits who arrived to transport the wood. The powerful crossbow returned proudly to the central army in the envious and admiring eyes of his companions.

"Lord, the gap in the west corner seems to be blocked! Huh? The enemy seems to have retreated again!"

He Bai breathed a sigh of relief and finally repelled again. Fortunately, most of the infantry soldiers of the army were converted from the Xiyuanxia Army. The Xiyuanxia Army is an elite of the Han army. It was formed according to the standards of the Han army's sound shooting camp, and most of them are good at using bows and crossbows.

Take the yellow crossbow as an example. For the targets at a distance of 200 steps, the targets of each twenty-four crossbows hit more than twenty branches, the sharpshooters of more than sixteen branches are the level shooters, and the first-class shooters are the first-class shooters.

To produce a sharpshooter, it not only requires hard and long-term training, but also requires talent. Not everyone can become a sharpshooter after training. Or to be precise, most people do not have the talent to become a sharpshooter. No matter how hard they train, they are at most first-class shooters or waiters.

Although He Bai attaches great importance to the role of bows and crossbows, and even aims at the crossbows with Wangshan, the shooting accuracy mainly depends on personal factors. Many of them affect the shooting accuracy, such as wind power, distance, height comparison of enemies and us, refraction of light, and the skills of pulling the crossbow machine, the shooting timing and shooting location selection, and even the shooting breathing control of the shooter during shooting, etc.

Bows and crossbows are not relatively stable guns in later generations. This can only be based on personal experience and summary, as well as the grasp of genius. If a talented archer is a talented archer, he must also undergo regular and long-term training. Even if He Bai, a soldier born in later generations, is accustomed to shooting directly on the crossbow, he can only achieve the archer who is seventeen or eighteenth.

Therefore, it is very difficult to produce a sharpshooter. There are very few abilities to achieve Huang Zhong and Lu Bu. Even among the Wuwan people who are famous for riding and shooting, there are no fewer sharpshooters. Including Zhao Yun, who is very powerful in archery, he can only barely calculate. If you use a crossbow, you may not be as good as yourself.

An excellent snatcher is the essence of an army. Their value can be comparable to gold of body weight, and may even be even more expensive. To be honest, in He Bai's eyes now, what does a hundred pounds of gold count? As long as you are willing, you can take it out at any time. Even if you are a daughter asking for one person, He Bai is willing.

However, a sharpshooter can only be said to be hard to come by. They are treasures wherever they are, and the difference is only the degree of attention they are given. The generals under He Bai currently have Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Yu Hua, and Ye Xun.

There are also five soldiers who emerged in the Xiyuanxia Army through three years of hard training. With their own skills, they were promoted to a fourth-level non-commissioned officer by He Bai without much military achievements. They enjoyed the same treatment and status as military marquis on weekdays, and became the chief crossbow archers of three thousand combat soldiers in each school.

When they make great contributions in the future, if they have good military command ability, they will be the new military marquis and military Sima candidates. People like them will be good if they can have one or two sharpshooters under the command of other forces, and they are all treasures.

All generals are very clear about the value of sharpshooters. Each of them can sometimes decide the outcome of a battle. If you want to stop and kill a senior enemy general, the role of a group of ordinary shooters is far from comparable to them. It is important to know how many powerful generals in the Three Kingdoms did not die under the arrows, but were only blocked and killed by a small cold arrow.

So He Bai changed the commonly used segmented shooting method, gathering excellent shooters such as infantry archers and first-class shooters to form a team of 100-man Zhang strong crossbows, which is specifically responsible for shooting. Each person is given two ordinary shooters, specifically responsible for Zhang crossbows and arrow installation for them.

This shooting method with clear division of labor has obvious effect, greatly improving the accuracy of shooting against the enemy, and almost equalizing one arrow and one person at close range, greatly reducing the use loss rate of crossbows after rain. Wherever you go, you can easily and absolutely kill the enemy's soldiers and soldiers who break in. This crossbow soldier is the main hero of repeatedly repelling the enemy's troops.

He Bai also ordered Zhao Yun and two fourth-level non-commissioned archers who accompanied the army to conduct special operations to block and kill the enemy with fierce offensives. So far, he has successfully blocked and killed as many as 17 people, forcing nearly half of the enemy soldiers to disperse. Then he was annexed by other families and became the forefront of the dead soldiers, and eventually fell into the trench in front of He Jun's camp.

During each attack and attack, the enemy's senior generals hid far behind, and there were many warriors around with shields to protect them. In this way, the enemy soldiers' impact was absolutely insufficient. Therefore, it was easier to repel them.

"I understand!" He Bai was not excited or happy at all when he listened to the personal guard's report, and said with some fatigue and soreness: "I ordered all the generals to count the number of soldiers who can still fight in our army and report to me."

Eighteen thousand enemy troops from the plains attacked seven times, once every twenty minutes; at least six thousand people died in front of the camp, and no less than three thousand people were injured and retreated. In this way, nearly half of the enemy troops had been lost.

However, the enemy did not flee, but prepared for the eighth attack under the pressure of the five thousand supervising teams under Cao Cao.
