Chapter 2001

Xue Rengui's three arrows hit the target, and everyone was stunned.

Murong Long's death made everyone no longer interested in fighting and retreated one after another.

Murong Long is the son of Murong Huang. His strength may not be as good as Murong Ke and others, but his status is not inferior to Murong Ke in the slightest.

Murong Long's death in battle was a big deal, and everyone had to go back as soon as possible to report the incident.

Xue Rengui looked at the Yan army that was slowly retreating. It was impossible for them to retreat just like that.

"Strong crossbow array, shoot for me." Xue Rengui raised the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand and shouted loudly

""Drink." Behind Xue Rengui, the soldiers who were ready shot at the Yan army one after another.

The most powerful thing in the Yun Kingdom was the"Arrow Formation".

Before attacking the enemy, use a wave of arrow rain to consume it, and then proceed. Chase and kill.

The Yun Kingdom's fighting methods are famous in the mainland.

But they cannot learn the Yun Kingdom's fighting style.

If you want to rely on this kind of arrow formation to attack, there is a prerequisite, and that is"arrows".

The dense arrows are like raindrops Generally speaking, the coverage area needs to be wide, and the arrows need to be dense.

Without too many arrows, it is impossible to form an arrow array and arrow rain.

The strike area will be much smaller.

The lethality is limited.

And arrows are related to national power.

The greater the national power. The more powerful you are, the stronger your reserve force is.

You can forge and make more arrows.

Many people know Yun Guo's fighting style, but they can't imitate it. They are not as wealthy as Yun Guo. They have the money to fight this kind of war of attrition.

Therefore, they could only seek other methods.

It was almost impossible to break the arrow array. All they could do was reduce casualties.

So some people began to practice evasive tactics.

Avoid the rain of arrows before they fell.

But the raindrops would not It's so easy to evade.

It can't be avoided at all.

It can only be defended passively.

Some people work hard on the armor to improve the armor's defense.

So some craftsmen added more defensive materials to the armor.

The defensive materials are good. Production, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is too bulky. It is very troublesome to move and puts a heavy load on the soldiers.

There is no problem in a short time, but it becomes unsustainable after a long time.

Someone wants to make a shield.

When the arrows are coming, use a shield to block them.

But there are also disadvantages.

Making a shield also requires a lot of ore. It would be better if the country is rich and can support it.

But if the country is not rich, there is no money to build it. Shields can only be used to make weapons.

In some countries, the army is like a peasant army, with only weapons and not even decent armor. In ancient times, iron mines and salt mines were controlled by the state.

The Yan State worked hard to destroy them What is Xiang Yu doing for?

It's not just for resources.

Yan State obtained a large amount of iron ore and copper mines from Chu State.

It also seized a lot of materials.

Among them, it takes a certain amount of time to convert iron ore and copper ore into weapons and weapons. The Yun State will not give the Yan State time to develop.

A rain of arrows fell, and the soldiers of the Yan State took out armors made of cowhide to resist.

As an opponent, how could the Yan State not study the Yun State.

For the powerful crossbow arrows of the Yun State They also knew a little bit about the formation.

So Murong Ke came up with a way to deal with the crossbow arrow formation.

Although it could not break the arrow formation, it could greatly reduce casualties.

Murong Ke asked people to collect the slaughtered cowhide and sheepskin.

Drying.

Apply a layer of special grease on the surface.

After this grease dries, it will become very hard.

Cowhide and sheepskin are animal leather themselves.

They are very light after drying.

Coupled with that special grease, it becomes even more It enhances the durability and strength of the leather.

Murong Ke conducted special tests and found that the leather after drying is extremely tough.

Even arrows cannot easily penetrate it.

What surprised him even more was that this thing was light in texture. It's just too hard.

It's very uncomfortable to wear.

And it's not very easy to make armor.

Facing the enemy's arrows, the head cannot be defended.

After discussions between Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Murong Huang, the Murong family finally decided to use this to make a shield.

Once the enemy launches a barrage of arrows, they will huddle behind their shields and block as many as they can.

······

The cattle and sheep on the grassland are not endless.

Priority can only be given to the vanguard troops, while the heavy cavalry behind them have heavy armor and can defend themselves.

In addition, there are some who use iron shields

""Shield". Facing the dense arrows, the soldiers of Yan State raised their"cowhide shields" one after another.

""Ding", the arrow flew across the sky and hit the cowhide shield directly.

The powerful force made their arms feel numb.

But now is a critical moment of life and death, and this is not the time to give in.

Therefore, they must grit their teeth and persevere.

""Ding", another arrow hit the cowhide shield.

The Yan soldiers did not dare to move at all.

If they wanted to move, they had to stand up.

And once they stood up, some arrows shot directly into the legs.

Blood flowed across the side.

There was It shoots directly through.

This cowhide shield is indeed powerful, but one arrow can block it, and two arrows can also be used. Three arrows are not enough.

The crossbow itself is powerful, not to mention the continuous attack.

Even water droplets, all It has the ability of"drops of water penetrating stones", not to mention arrows.

After three arrows, the cowhide shield started to crack like ceramics.

The fourth arrow fell and landed directly on the shield, and the cowhide shield immediately fell into pieces.

But the power of the arrows It was also completely consumed.

In a defensive war, it is impossible to achieve perfect defense.

The price Yun paid was arrows, money, and resources.

The price Yan paid was cowhide shields and human lives.

Compared with other countries, Yan The price paid by the country was much smaller.

As a country on the grassland, the Yan State was also very sharp in its arrow skills. It took advantage of the gaps to fire back.

At this time, the sophistication of the weapons began to show.

The weapons of the Yun State had a relatively wide range. Because Yan's weapons were backward, their range was not as good as that of Yun's.

They happened to be unable to hit Yun's position.

After waiting for a wave of arrows, Xue Rengui raised the weapon in his hand and said,"The time has come to make contributions. Kill me."

Xue Rengui The horses were galloping, with a strong spear behind them, like a wolf cub coming out of the cage. They were fighting towards everyone.

The soldiers of Yan State retreated and shot at the same time.

"General, you go, I will stop the rear." At this time, Yan Xun, the general of Yan State, stood up

"Yan Xun, you are no match for them"

"I know, but someone must cut off the queen." Yan Xun's eyes were filled with the hope of death.

Death on the battlefield may be the destiny of a soldier.

"General, give the order quickly, otherwise, none of us will be able to leave." Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Yan Xun suddenly became anxious and yelled loudly

""Okay, Yan Xun, this general will give me five thousand troops and horses, and you can take over the rear."
