The crossbow duel between the Julu Army and the local soldiers was in the middle of a fierce battle. Both sides covered each other with arrows and concentrated fire on each other. Both sides could cause huge damage to each other. For a while, no one could take advantage.

In the stalemate, the battlefield suddenly experienced changes that Li Mengxi had not expected.

The Julu Army's bow and crossbow array arrayed outside the village suddenly retreated sharply at the Centurion's command.

Regarding the centurion's sudden movement, Li Mengxi thought at first that he was too close and that he should move farther away to avoid the defender's arrows.

Attack, but the same, the farther the distance, the attacker's attack will also be weakened.

Li Mengxi was confused by the centurion's actions, and he couldn't help but frown.

Then, the fighting continued.

After the Julu Army retreated quickly for a while, they quickly stood up and repaired their position a little, and then the dense rain of arrows came towards the village again.

At the same time, Li Mengxi suddenly discovered that the village's counterattack had failed. To be more precise, because the attacker suddenly left the original position, the village soldiers had to readjust the shooting angle and re-estimate the distance, and then based on the arrow's loss.

Little by little fine-tuning, this adjustment process cannot be completed in a while, especially for the rural soldiers. According to the standard of the rural soldiers, the rural soldiers have to use at least twenty rounds of arrow rain to barely adjust the shooting angle and direction.

After understanding the tactical intentions of his centurion, Li Mengxi called him brilliant. To put it simply, the centurion was keenly aware of the flaw that the rural soldiers were poorly trained and unfamiliar with tactics. The Julu Army could adjust it in three or five rounds of arrow rain.

Shooting circles, and rural soldiers cannot shoot accurately unless they have more than twenty rounds.

The reaction time of three to five rounds, and the reaction time of more than twenty rounds, this is what can be exploited.

The centurion's intuition was extremely sharp. He took advantage of the flaw of the country soldiers and reversed the situation of the battle once again.

The situation of the soldiers changed and it became a unilateral attack by the Julu Army. The rural soldiers were suppressed and beaten unilaterally.

The Julu Army's crossbow array changed from static to mobile. Under the command of the centurion, the Julu Army's crossbow array only fired seven or eight rounds of arrows at the same place. After shooting, it immediately moved, or retreated, or

It's forward, left or right, and it takes dozens of steps to move.

Now, it’s okay. The Julu Army made such an operation, and the rural soldiers felt uncomfortable. The only tactic that the rural soldiers could use to suppress their opponents was to mobilize all 3,000 troops combined with 3,000 manpower to have the power to suppress them. The tactics themselves

No problem, but the local soldiers were not proficient enough and their reactions were slow, making it impossible for them to keep up with the battle rhythm of the Julu Army.

Li Mengxi went to the place with the best view and observed the entire battlefield condescendingly. He saw that on the Julu Army's side, although due to frequent movements and rapid mobilization, the Julu Army's bow and crossbow array became much scattered. In addition, the attack was hasty, and every time

After shooting seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, they left. The attack lacked precision, so the killing efficiency became very low. However, no matter how low it was, the killing efficiency was still there. The arrow rain projected by the Julu Army covered the entire village. It was bad luck.

It fell on a house. With luck, it happened to land in a crowd of people. No matter what, the number of casualties on the attacking side kept increasing.

As for the defender, the arrows fired outward by the defenders seemed clumsy and slow. The arrows fired by the village soldiers lacked accuracy. The arrows shot out in bursts could miss the target area by dozens of steps. From the arrows,

You can see the falling point of the rain, and there are signs that the rural soldiers are gradually adjusting. But often, just after adjusting a little bit, people will run away again with a crash, and go to other places.

The defender has been repeating a process, first shooting without accuracy, and then slowly starting to adjust the arrow's missing point. As soon as it adjusted a little, the target moved to another place, and it had to start all over again.

The battlefield has become extremely interesting, and the attacker is like a cunning fox, playing tricks on the clumsy opponent.

(The war can still be fought like this...) Li Mengxi looked at his own army that was running around and fighting like rabbits. He was thoughtful and inspired.

At this time on the battlefield, comparing the offensive and defensive sides, it is not difficult to see that the wandering shooting tactic of the Centurion of the Julu Army is very useful. With this tactic, he successfully suppressed the village defenders in an asymmetrical fighting method and made the village defenders

The army was simply unable to launch an effective attack.

Inspired by this, Li Mengxi thought, if one day, our own side is defending and the enemy uses wandering shooting tactics, how should we break it? Thinking about it further, it is actually not difficult to break it.

The attacker frequently moves positions. The transfer process takes time. The transfer process also increases physical strength. Moreover, during the transfer, the attacker is completely in a passive state and cannot counterattack. At this time, if the defender is well-trained and can accurately focus fire during the move

target, then the attacker's tactics of frequently shifting positions are not only useless, but will only increase casualties.

All in all, Li Mengxi felt that the Centurion's tactic of shifting positions to attack the fast and the slow was only suitable for bullying, and could only be used to torture the enemy. As long as the defenders were a little more elite, this tactic would be useless.

Then, Li Mengxi thought that if he had elite soldiers, he would not be afraid of the enemy. But if he only had weak soldiers, like this, if he only had country soldiers, and the country soldiers were slow to react, and the enemy troops frequently moved their positions, how could he

It’s not like I have no power to fight back at all.

Military affairs are unpredictable, and anyone can fight with elite soldiers. But if one day we only have weak soldiers, we have to fight. Therefore, how to defeat the enemy with weak soldiers is also one of the things that must be considered.

Li Mengxi found another problem for himself. The question was, use a group of rubbish crossbowmen who took thirty rounds of arrows to shoot accurately to capture the "rabbits" that changed positions once every seven or eight rounds of arrows.

According to the conventional method, if the soldier wants to hit the target, he has to spend thirty rounds of adjustment. But after spending thirty rounds of adjustment, the rabbit has already changed its position many times, so the conventional method cannot be used.

Li Mengxi's eyes returned to the battlefield. He witnessed the array of bows and crossbows of the Julu Army running from east to west, from south to north, and almost irregularly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How to catch such a slippery rabbit, Li Mengxi had no idea at the moment.

The rabbit runs too fast and my own hand is too slow. This is the point of contradiction.

Li Mengxi turned to the person next to him and asked, "Rabbits run fast but their hands are slow. How do you tell me how to catch a very fast rabbit with slow hands?"

The soldier in question was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously answered, "Catch a rabbit? Get a net. Who can catch a rabbit with such fast hands?"

(Yes, use the Internet!) Li Mengxi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

To catch the fast rabbit slowly, you can use the dragnet method. A slow net can surround a fast rabbit, and even a motionless net can surround a rabbit.

One prerequisite for using the seine method to catch rabbits is that the net must be larger than the rabbit. But now, with three thousand rural soldiers and only 500 Julu soldiers, the net must be larger than the rabbit.

The situation on the battlefield once again changed quietly.

Outside the village, the Julu Army's crossbow array was still moving around and fighting. In the village, Li Mengxi personally came down to participate in the command, integrating the manpower in the village. Li Mengxi divided all three thousand rural soldiers into more than forty groups, and then sent them according to the direction. Each part has divided tasks.

A careful study of the opponent's movement trends revealed that the five hundred Julu soldiers outside the village may move in any direction to the southeast, northwest, and there is no way to accurately judge the opponent's movement trend. Then follow the method of encircling the enemy's movement in all directions. Get up and feel better.

Li Mengxi used 3,000 crossbowmen to lay out an encirclement net with three layers inside and three outside. The manpower can be roughly divided into three parts. In the first part, some crossbowmen shoot at the current position of the target. In the second part, the area where the target is located is used. As the center, expand the target twenty steps to the surroundings and start shooting. Shoot into the open space twenty steps away. For the third part, expand the target twenty steps further.

This means that all areas within a forty-step radius around the target area are locked by arrow rain.

Although the village soldiers were slow to react, and it took thirty rounds of arrow rain to adjust the shooting range, but on the attacking side, it would take a lot of time for the attacking side to move out of the forty-step battlefield. Starting to lay out the shooting range early on the attacker's movement route is equivalent to accumulating a head start. Having this head start is equivalent to buying time.

Assume that the attacker moves from the previous point to the next point fifty steps away. Then, starting from scratch, the soldiers will have to spend thirty rounds of arrow rain to move the arrow rain bit by bit to the point fifty steps away. The target is up, and the encirclement is formed, so that there is already a team of crossbowmen at forty steps. Then, when the enemy moves fifty steps away, there happens to be a team of crossbowmen who are only ten steps away from the target. At this point, the soldiers only need to adjust their distance by ten steps to react.

The [Seine Arrow Array] arranged by Li Mengxi is extremely complex and cumbersome. In his three-layered arrow array, each circle and every position is assigned a team of people to guard it.

The battle mode has changed. The defender's target is no longer the attacker's array. The defender's attack target has changed from the enemy array itself to every corner of the enemy array's east, west, north, and south, to an extension of another twenty steps. After that, eight more azimuths, and after another twenty steps, eight more targets.

The battlefield became a grid, and targets were surrounded by grids.

The seine and arrow formation gradually showed some signs. At a certain moment, the centurion of the Julu Army suddenly felt extremely uneasy. The rain of arrows shot from the village still lacked accuracy. Few arrows fell on the formation, but those arrows The rain fell in all directions, in front and behind, and although the arrows rained in random directions, the centurion vaguely felt that he was surrounded.

When the centurion still wanted to move his position to another place, this time, the centurion discovered the problem. At this time, surrounding the array of bows and crossbows, the showers of arrows with messy landing points were essentially

There is a surrounding net with three layers inside and three layers outside. No matter which direction you go, you will inevitably hit the rain of arrows head-on. At this time, the safest thing is to stay where you are. But if you stay where you are,

If you don't move, you should know the consequences after thinking about it. Once you stay in place for a long time, the village soldiers can calmly and slowly adjust the shooting range. In the end, all the arrows shot by the three thousand bows in the village are all

It's going to fall on your head.

The seine and arrow array was successful. Taking advantage of the rural soldiers' superiority in numbers, the arrow array deployed by the rural soldiers with several times the manpower successfully restricted the movement of the Julu Army's array. When the attackers could no longer move calmly to fight,

At this time, it is difficult for the attacking side to move or not.

The soldiers scattered the rain of arrows to the entire area within a few dozen steps, and the attacks were greatly dispersed. At this time, staying in place may avoid more attacks, but once they stand still, they will become a turtle in the urn.

; But once it moves, there will be arrow rain all around. The arrow rain is like a net, and it will not leak out. No matter which direction it moves, it will be hit by the attack. No matter which direction it moves and stops, there must be someone very close nearby.

The arrow array has been adjusted so that the arrows can be released in a matter of seconds.

The arrow array was completed, and its killing efficiency was low, but no matter what, compared with the passive situation where it could only be beaten and could not fight back just a moment ago, the defenders finally regained a little advantage, and the battlefield returned to a balance of power.

At this point, Li Mengxi has successfully solved the problem and successfully used the poorly trained and slow-reacting country soldiers to cause some trouble to the enemy troops who can run as fast as rabbits. For Li Mengxi, this is not the end yet.

Li Mengxi then thought about it, if our side attacks and the enemy defends, and the enemy's soldiers are not elite enough, but the enemy uses a seine and arrow array, so that we cannot bully it with speed, what should we do at this time?

Looking at the arrows all over the battlefield, Li Mengxi first thought that the probability of this happening was too small. How could a team like the rural soldiers have so many arrows to squander? But what if this happened?

What should we do? For example, if the enemy's elite troops defending the city are exhausted, but there are still many ordnances in the city, then if the defenders recruit civilians to join the battle, there will be a situation where the ordnance is sufficient but the troops are not elite enough. At this time, there may be no defenders.

Don't be stingy with arrows and use seine and arrow formations to counterattack extravagantly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Mengxi thought of a way to deal with it. His solution was to divide the bow and crossbow array into as many squads as possible, so that the enemy can arrange a formation

To encircle an arrow array, there is not enough manpower and energy to encircle dozens of formations. In other words, the dispersed array increases the difficulty of encirclement, and also increases the difficulty of commanding the defenders.

The situation on the battlefield changed again. Li Mengxi sent an order to his troops and ordered the centurion to divide all the men into small groups and attack individually in small groups.

After the centurion complied with the order, the Julu Army array dispersed. The village soldier leaders immediately discovered that the encirclement arrow array that had been working well just now was no longer usable. The opponent's array was too large and they could not encircle them.

When Li Mengxi once again tried to reverse the situation and cracked the attacker's wandering shooting tactics, he found that there was no way to counterattack, but there was no need to counterattack.

In crossbow combat, concentrated fire is the attack mode with the best killing efficiency. When the crossbow array has to be dispersed into small groups, the killing efficiency of the crossbows has dropped by one step.

In other words, when the defender forces the attacker to disperse, it is enough.

From this, we may be able to obtain a common tactic for fighting the attacking crossbow troops when defending - since concentrated fire shooting is the most efficient way of combat with crossbows, then we should try to prevent the attacking side from concentrated firing and prevent the attacker from attacking.

The way for the enemy to concentrate fire is to prevent the attackers from concentrating their manpower. They can use trebuchets to interfere and arrows to interfere. In addition to the direct damage caused to the enemy, preventing the enemy from concentrated fire is the second most effective method.

An efficient method to combat the efficiency of the attacking side's crossbow operations.

On the contrary, for the attacking side, the attacking side should ensure the concentration of the crossbow array as much as possible. For the attacking side, while avoiding casualties, it should ensure the killing as much as possible. To ensure the killing, the killing efficiency must be ensured. The highest killing efficiency is concentrated fire.

Shooting. In offensive and defensive operations, the task of the attacking crossbow troops is actually one - to concentrate fire attacks as much as possible while ensuring their own safety.
