Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 558 Phoenix Wings Tianxiang
In the face of barbed wire tactics, skirmish lines, or scattered formations, also lost their effect.

For the offensive side, unable to cross the barbed wire defense line, it can only stay in the stage of long-distance consumption, while the defensive side has the help of trenches, which itself has an advantage.

especially……

Now in Zhi County, the long-range weapons of the attacking side are still bows and crossbows that are "highly consuming" in manpower and material resources. Even if there are many soldiers in Shu, they can take turns to rest, but if they shoot at each other, they are purely output, don't look at Badong. The Chu army is small in number, but it is [-] to [-]% higher than the Shu army, which is not a problem.

Moreover, the reserve of projectiles is definitely more than the arrows carried by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. What's more, the Badong Chu army is on the defensive. In addition to the barbed wire fence to prevent the enemy from approaching, they also have trenches to protect themselves!

After two days of tentative fighting, the Shu army had no hope of breaking through even the first line of defense, and they lost thousands of soldiers first.

Faced with this dilemma, Zhang Ren chose...

"A bold thief, you don't know the heights of the sky, you think that a mere iron rope can stop me? Hundreds of birds look at the phoenix, the phoenix sees hundreds of birds, the phoenix wings fly to the sky!"

In this attack, Zhang Ren took the lead and rushed forward with armor, preparing to tear through Chu's barbed wire defense line with his own strength.

Zhang Ren, who was wearing a bright yellow battle armor, rushed directly to the front row of the barbed wire defense line with a hail of bullets banging on his armor. As the three-pointed gun was swung, wing-shaped arrows on both sides of the gun were The two short pointed spears unfolded like phoenix wings, and the front of the gun was a huge phoenix head and beak!
Just as Zhang Ren was waving, the golden phoenix light and shadow, accompanied by the noisy birdsong that was somewhat similar to when Zhang Xiu performed his special move, soared towards the barbed wire fence in front of him!

In contrast, Zhang Ren's "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is more like standing in the perspective of the phoenix than the original version. It is not only different in "light effect" but also in "sound effect".

Although Zhang Xiu is a forced simulation, it is indeed the closest to the original. His voice is like the crow of a hundred birds, while Zhang Ren's sound is like a high-pitched phoenix call among the crow of birds...

It's a pity that he still couldn't be like Zhao Yun, who was completely out of blue, broke through the shackles, and developed his own decisive spear skills!

Even so, after Zhang Ren's "Fengyi Tianxiang" hit the first layer of barbed wire, it was like a "meat grinder", directly twisting the barbed wire within three feet, and even the whole barbed wire was pulled and bounced back. After that, there was a gap of more than four feet!
As for the barbed wire that was twisted into it, it was completely torn into pieces, leaving a trail of scrap wire on the path of "Feng Yi Tian Xiang".

Even the light and shadow of the phoenix rushed to the second line of defense, tearing open a gap as big as one person in the second line of defense...

Some of the grassroots generals recruited locally in Badong County couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - although they had heard of Zhang Ren before, they didn't expect... General Jin Yu to be so terrifying!
As for the veterans of the original Wancheng [-]st Division and Xinye [-]st Division, they were unmoved.

Is it unusual for General Jinyu to take action?
"Why are you panicking? Zhang Ren... it's just that when he took action, his true energy was condensed a little. His true strength is not even among the Jinyu generals! I have seen more than half of the 36 Jinyu generals in the Chu Kingdom. He, Zhang Ren, even preceded me." Not even half of it!" The gold-plated leader of the corresponding defense section gave an encouraging voice, "He can kill me with one punch, but I just won't accept it."

At the same time, there was only a sound of rolling wheels...

When the gilded captain heard the voice, his eyes lit up and he said: "Hahaha! The teacher's big treasure has been brought! I'll open your eyes too! Don't stand there... open the gap and gather fire for me!" "

I saw black, thick, and long mobile cannons being pushed over.

Badong County already had artillery not long ago, and there is no need to train in Badong - the operation of artillery is much more complicated than the infuriating crossbow that can be "loaded and fired with eyes closed". I think It’s too late for on-site training…

According to the military system of the Chu State at this time, "artillery" was all distributed in the artillery division. During combat, artillery companies were directly sent to the main army for coordinated operations. Only professionals can fire artillery!

An artillery company has 50 NO. [-] people, including its own cooking squad. A company is only responsible for taking care of six artillery pieces.

According to the current military strength of the Chu State, an ordinary main force can have one brigade with one artillery battery, which means that three thousand people can have six cannons.

Because Badong County is located in Yizhou, artillery companies have only begun to be stationed not long ago, so the deployment rate is not high, but at the same time... to cross the mountains and ridges, you have to go to the Wancheng Division in Bazhong. Because the roads are inconvenient, it is difficult to carry There are very few artillery, and most of them are left for the Badong [-]st Division, so the Badong [-]st Division's artillery possessions are still at the top among the main forces for the time being!

Two brigades, two reinforced regiments, five artillery companies, thirty artillery pieces...

Guo Huai stationed two artillery companies on the Zhixian defense line. At this time, due to Zhang Ren's change, one of the artillery companies was sent over!
The Shu army didn't know this thing yet, so they naturally didn't know how to be afraid. Seeing that the "indestructible" barbed wire fence that had "devoured" the lives of countless comrades in the past few days was torn open with a gap several feet wide, Immediately pour from it.

only……

As a result, the so-called "sparing and changing formations" naturally has no effect - a few feet wide is very spacious for a person, but for an army, it is very crowded!

They were all crowded together, and immediately became a target. Thanks to Zhang Ren's arrangement before, Yan Yan was allowed to lure many defenders away in other directions in advance, and the number of defenders gathered nearby did not "exceed the standard".

But... the real crisis really came. Under the command of the aiming hand, the six artillery pieces were twisted by the gunner, turned towards the direction of the influx of Shu troops, and after the muzzle was slightly raised...

"put!"

boom--

Compared with the crisp sound of the infuriating crossbow, the artillery is a real roar!

The plate-armored cavalry originally blocking the front immediately turned off their fire...

Plate cavalry has at least half the chance of being able to block projectiles, and they are immune to most damage from "ricochets", so they are at the front.

However, after a burst of smoke from the black tubes in the Chu army's formation, the plate-armored cavalry rushing at the front fell on their backs in response!

Not just one or two rows, but almost as many as there are, as many as you pour...

How could a mere three millimeters of plate armor be able to block a breech-mounted cannon?
Although it was a solid cannon, not a thunderbolt cannon, the shells bounced off the ground again and again, accompanied by screams and wailing...

Even if it is a plate-armored cavalry who resists head-on, the plate armor will often be torn open and smashed into two pieces. At most, the kinetic energy of the cannonball will be reduced much!
Although solid bullets will not explode, they are definitely not capable of killing a single target on the battlefield. At this time, the Shu army is gathered within a few feet, which is simply an output angle for the artillery...
