Chapter [207] Qin Jun: Wind! Wind! Gale!
Seeing a large number of Cao Jun rushing from a distance, Lu Bu didn't let Qin Jun get up and line up immediately.
"Turn on the middle string!" Lu Bu ordered loudly.
When the soldiers of the Qin army heard the words, they began to wind up one after another, but it was different from the position where they were wound up for the first time.
Since the pedal crossbow is a crossbow, the shooting distance is fixed every time it is wound up.
The bow and arrow can adjust the range of the arrow according to the strength of the bow.
Compared with the bow, the control of the shooting distance of the crossbow is not flexible enough.
In order to make up for this defect, Ma Jun set three winding positions on the pedal crossbow.
If the bowstring is stretched to the maximum, the range of the pedal crossbow is the limit distance, a range of two hundred steps.
But the light can shoot two hundred steps, and it will be very dull if it can't shoot close-range targets.
Therefore, there are two slots on the crossbow for winding. The slot in the middle can be used to shoot 150 steps, and the slot at the front can shoot 100 steps "553".
In this way, the pedal crossbow has a more flexible shooting range, and three shooting distances are enough to deal with various situations on the battlefield.
As for why there is no range of 50 steps, it is because when the enemy approaches the distance of 50 steps, the soldiers have to get up from the ground to meet the enemy, and there is no chance to shoot.
Following Lu Bu's order, the soldiers of the Qin army lying on the ground re-stringed their crossbows.
"!!!"
Lu Bu used his eyes to observe accurately, and when Cao Jun stepped into the range of about 150 steps, he gave another firing order.
The soldiers of the Qin army pulled the triggers one after another, and fired crossbow arrows at the Cao army rushing in the distance.
"whoosh whoosh"
Another rain of arrows appeared in the sky, and under Lu Bu's precise observation, the rain of arrows once again accurately enveloped Cao's army, causing a large number of casualties.
But compared with the first shot, the effect is still much worse because Cao Jun is moving and the formation is scattered.
However, the damage caused by the three waves of arrow rain has been considerable.
Lu Bu didn't stop there, and said again: "Turn on the string!"
Qin Jun, who was lying on the ground, started to wind up again, and he could wind up successfully with a light pull of both hands.
Compared with the far string with a range of 200 steps, it is much easier to put on the near string.
"Get up!"
The 60,000 Qin soldiers moved in unison, got up from the ground holding crossbows, and changed from lying down to standing up.
"First three rows, flat shot,!!!"
When Cao Jun stepped into the range of a hundred steps, Lu Bu let the soldiers in the first three rows shoot flat, and the others did not do it for the time being.
"Whoosh whoosh․.."
There is no projectile, but a direct flat shot, which is also the advantage of the crossbow machine, which can shoot flat at a distance of one hundred steps.
Bows and arrows can only be shot flat when they are very close, and projectiles must be used for a little distance.
Compared with projectiles, flat shots naturally have a higher hit rate and stronger lethality.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the first three rows pulled the trigger, and Cao Jun, who was charging on the opposite side, fell down in pieces like cutting wheat.
However, Cao Jun suffered four waves of arrow rain, and they finally rushed within a hundred steps, and they were finally able to fight back against the soldiers of the Qin Army.
"Follow up, three rows of flat shots!" Lu Bu continued to order.
After the shooting, the soldiers in the first three rows immediately withdrew from the two sides and let the soldiers behind fill up.
At this time, Cao Jun's counterattack was finally in place. Cao Jun, who was charging at a high speed, took out his bows and arrows one after another, and shot arrows at Qin Jun while running.
Seeing arrows falling from the sky, the Qin army's army immediately became commotion.
"Shut up! Don't move! Just pretend that the rain of arrows doesn't exist!" Lu Bu yelled loudly.
The strongest part of the bow and arrow is that many people shoot in volley, and the arrows shot form a barrage of bullets, covering them in pieces, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid it.
And once the bow and arrow phalanx spread out, and the timing of pulling the trigger is inconsistent, it will cause the rain of arrows to be out of scale and sparse, and the lethality will drop sharply.
Therefore, the bow and arrow phalanx cannot be disordered by itself. Even if the sky falls, the phalanx must be kept intact and continue to shoot calmly.
Lu Bu took the lead and stood at the forefront of the formation, staying still, setting an example for the soldiers below.
"Whizzing.…"
Cao Jun's arrows rained down sparsely. Because Cao Jun fought back while running, the formation was very scattered, and it was impossible to shoot arrows at the same time, so the arrow rain was sparse. Even if Qin Jun stood still, Cao Jun could not cause any damage. What considerable damage.
Although standing still, it doesn't mean that you can't dodge. Seeing the sparse arrow rain coming, it's still no problem to twist your body to avoid the vital parts. As long as the head doesn't get hit by the arrow, other places are easy to talk about. After all, you still have armor Now, it doesn't matter if you hit two arrows with one arrow.
"Let it go!!!" Lu Bu shouted loudly.
The soldiers of the Qin army in the second third row raised the crossbow in their hands and fired another wave, then withdrew from both sides, and the third third row went up.
In this way, within a distance of one hundred steps, the soldiers of the Qin Army and the soldiers of the Cao Army started shooting at each other.
But one is the simultaneous flat shooting of the large square formation, and the other is the sporadic shooting of stragglers, the lethality of the two is not at the same level at all...
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the number of Cao Jun soldiers is getting smaller and smaller.
"Put~~~Ang~~~" Lu Bu's voice began to hoarse.
This kind of command to ensure that the whole army can hear it requires Lu Bu to shout with all his strength.
And among the Qin army below, hearing Lu Bu's hoarse voice, they heard "put" as "wind".
Although it sounded like 'wind', the soldiers understood that it was the command to shoot arrows. After all, the atmosphere was already here, even if Lu Bu yelled casually, the soldiers of the Qin army could understand the murderous intent in the command.
However, a soldier of the Qin Army suddenly felt that "wind" was very powerful as a password, so he couldn't help shouting it, and then pulled the trigger.
His behavior instantly infected the soldiers of the Qin army around him, and they also shouted together.
It was still in a small area at first, but later all the soldiers heard the slogan "wind".
Lu Bu, whose ears have been strengthened, naturally and clearly captures this change. He feels the taste in his heart, and feels that 'wind' is indeed more powerful than 'fang', and it is more compelling.
The most important point is that there is almost no difference between the two shouts, especially when the noise is hoarse, and it is also very suitable as a password to shoot arrows, so that the soldiers will know that they are going to shoot arrows as soon as they hear it.
Seeing that the soldiers all liked the command 'wind', Lu Bu immediately changed it and shouted: "Wind!!!"
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
The 4.0 soldiers of the Qin Army shot more aggressively. Every time the trigger was pulled, all the soldiers of the Qin Army would shout together.
With the shouts of 'wind', the arrows seemed to be endowed with the power of 'wind'.
Now Cao Jun really became wheat, and was blown to the ground by the strong wind of Qin Jun.
When Cao Jun and Qin Jun approached, Cao Jun had already lost countless casualties, and the remaining number was not as good as Qin Jun's.
This short distance of two hundred steps cost at least 50,000 Cao Jun's lives. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Shura field.
Seeing that Cao Jun was approaching, Lu Bu changed his previous slogan and shouted: "Great Wind!!!"
After shouting, Lu Bu clamped his horse's belly and rushed directly towards Cao Jun.
"Gale! Gale! Gale!"
There is no need to explain specifically, the soldiers of the Qin Army could also understand that this was the command to charge, and they dropped the crossbows in their hands, drew out the sabers around their waists, and rushed up behind Lu Bu.
