After the soldiers of the Yuxiao Brigade shot the second arrow from a long distance, they could not catch up to 165 meters. For this reason, they could only shoot at an acute angle of 30 degrees.

If you shoot at an angle of 30 degrees, the throw height is not high enough, so the shot will be more direct and can reach about 120 meters.

The enemy cavalry quickly rushed to about 150 meters.

"Shoot!" Zhang Jingtao shouted.

This shot was extremely accurate. When the enemy cavalry approached from 150 meters to 120 meters, the arrow hit the target, and the horses neighed and people screamed. This time, more people fell, because the enemy cavalry also made a move.

Crossbow shooting.

As for the enemy cavalry shooting at such a close distance, it does not mean that they are not professional assault cavalry. They do not carry strong crossbows. The enemy cavalry carries strong crossbows.

But the problem is that the Ghost Coin Knights are here to plunder, and of course they need to fight quickly. What they need to start is close combat. It is impossible to rely on sudden shots from the farthest distance to slowly kill the death camp.

Thousands of people.

Moreover, when running on horseback, if the crossbow shooting angle is too large and there are bumps, the arrow will float to nowhere. Therefore, in order to generate enough suppressive force for one round of crossbow shooting and help oneself to impact more smoothly, the enemy's crossbow must be

The shooter will shoot at an acute angle, so what needs to be considered is to suppress the shooting of the Yuxiao brigade at a distance of about 100 meters.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the cavalry could break through a hundred meters and frighten the opponent's infantry.

Therefore, the enemy cavalry will start shooting crossbows at about 120 meters.

Therefore, during such a projectile, their bodies would still tilt up a lot unconsciously.

Moreover, these cavalry charge in a conical formation, which is certainly beneficial to impacting and killing the enemy, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the target is concentrated and it is easy to be hit by arrows.

In this round, the enemy lost twelve cavalrymen again, and three of them seemed to be hopeless.

For this reason, after the enemy's cavalry group lost eighteen people, the entire group was at a standstill.

You know, Wei Shuang's tribe and Wang Ning's tribe also shot back with arrows, but they didn't even shoot down a single enemy cavalry. Especially Wang Ning's tribe. It stands to reason that there are no less than 150 people who have the vision to shoot arrows, but they are still

Not a single arrow hit.

They even asked a soldier holding a long-range crossbow to shoot a standard arrow 500 meters away according to the long-range shooting method.

In order to use this 500-meter arrow range to observe the approximate distance of the opponent's cavalry after entering the arrow range.

However, after they had this arrow, they still couldn't judge accurately.

Not surprising, at first glance, it is really difficult to figure out the gap of tens of meters.

But the Second Brigade of Guibi, as if they had been harvested by the Yuxiao Brigade of the Death Battalion, all fell down.

Because neither Wei Shuang nor Wang Ning can calculate the distance of an arrow like Zhang Jingtao, although these two people also pretend to be pacesetters and give orders, but since the Zhou Dynasty started to play feudalism, the people in the family did not understand the lack of civilization.

The method of comparing the distance with fingers is to estimate the range visually and then shoot the arrow.

Just like the enemy Ghost Coin Knights, they were shooting based entirely on experience. Even in order to avoid one round of shooting being ineffective, they did not issue a unified order, because this shot was only used to assist the cavalry in charging, and they did not pay attention to it.

Whether one shot can cause enough damage.

For this reason, according to their habits, after they realized that they were within the attack range, they did not dare to shoot at each other because the Yuxiao brigade was shooting arrows.

This is also the case when encountering this kind of shooting on weekdays. Although the enemy's arrows rushing towards you may seem scary, in fact, they basically don't know where they are going. They are either in front or behind. That's why they are like this.

Charge fearlessly.

Unfortunately, Zhang Jingtao did not issue the order based on experience. He based the range of the bamboo bow, which is the most popular in the army, on 180 meters, 165 meters, and 120 meters.

Adding the speed of the cavalry, then the order needs to be issued when the enemy's cavalry is 240 meters, 225 meters, or 150 meters away.

This is how the Yuxiao team usually trains. Another person shouts the command, and the same is true. With the simple method of measuring distance in the field using fingers, there will be no mistake, only a slight error.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtao shouted when his own side had finished firing and the enemy was firing a round of arrows.

"Defense! Load the arrow!"

In this way, you don't waste time while avoiding.

The soldiers all shrank their shoulders, with their basin-shaped steel helmets facing slightly forward. At the same time, if there was no protection from the carriage, they would tilt their helmets further forward to give their bodies a protected angle. After that, they would risk their lives and quickly draw the bows in their hands.

arrow.

After this defense, the enemy's arrows had just arrived.

Zhang Jingtao himself was also avoiding, but because of his vitality, he found that his eyesight and brain were astonishingly sharp, and he could estimate that he would not be hit by the arrow. Therefore, after bold observation, he discovered that the enemy cavalry's

The arrows seemed to be menacing, but in fact they were very scattered and fluttering. One of the arrows hit a soldier on Wei Shuang's side. Only two people's helmets were scratched, and the edges of the arrows were scratched on the rest.

Didn't get hit.

"Shoot!" Zhang Jingtao shouted again, and he also understood how weak Wei Shuang's arrows were hitting the opponent.

As for rush shooting, in training, you first rush to shoot a round of bow and arrow.

In this way, the enemy can be shot from about 80 meters away.

Then, he immediately changed to the short crossbow that had been strung up long ago, and immediately fired another round, hitting the enemy about 60 meters away.

What he shot was the enemy's horse's leg.

Just as Zhang Jingtao expected, the enemy cavalry simply charged in an attempt to shorten the distance between the two sides.

In this way, under the rapid fire of two rounds of a hundred arrows, a dozen or so at one time, and the second time actually caused the enemy cavalry to fall nearly twenty people.

There were only five cavalry left in this group.

The five members of Guibi's Second Battalion really didn't expect that shooting a horse's feet would have such an effect in a dense charge formation. In the past, they had faced shooting a horse's body, because the target of the horse's body was large, but the actual damage caused was very small.

, because horses can usually continue charging with arrows without being injured.

"Hold your shield, draw your sword, form a 'strong' formation, prepare for a collision." Zhang Jingtao shouted. He himself hid behind the carriage, but drew his bow and arrow because he had an arm shield and did not need to take off his helmet.

Those Yuxiao players were divided into ten teams. Except for one person in each team who had hung up the short crossbow, picked up a large shield and held a spear, among the rest, two people still held the crossbow and strung it, while the other two pulled away

The slipknot on the lower edge of the helmet holds the handle inside the helmet and uses the helmet as a shield. Then one person draws a sword to prevent the enemy from breaking into the shield range, and one person holds a spear to assist the shield hand in attacking.

These actions are usually completed within three seconds, and the Yuxiao team usually has training.

If you want to survive, these actions must be done quickly.

During the overall training in the death camp, only the use of helmets, as well as actions such as stringing the bow, opening the crossbow arm, swinging the knife, and shooting postures were trained.
