From Soldier To Emperor

Puff puff…

　　 The slap in the face was so sudden, the mocking smile on Han Li's face could not be recovered before dozens of crossbowmen in the front row fell!

　　 Afterwards, most of the fallen people got up again. Some soldiers gritted their teeth and pulled out arrows from their bodies, while others turned pale, clutching their wounds and stepped back...

Although the Ming army’s heavy crossbowmen had a high hit rate, the number of enemy soldiers killed was not too large. This was mainly because the ancient crossbows were far less lethal than the bullets, and because the distance between the two sides was too far, the Ming army was heavy. The crossbowman cannot aim at the vital point of the enemy's torso.

　　 Even so, it was enough to shock Han Li!

　　 "This...isn't all of the Taoist soldiers under Richard's hand comparable to the elite crossbowmen? And the crossbows in their hands are all heavy crossbows!"

The heavy crossbow in Han Li’s mouth refers to a powerful crossbow. Because the string force is too large, it is difficult for ordinary people to fully open even if they pedal. Only the real elite can use it. The elites in the Tang army use this. This kind of heavy crossbow, however, let alone Dashi Town, the entire Gaoxiang County can't find the elite who can make the heavy crossbow!

　　 Generally speaking, strong soldiers will be recruited by high-ranking officials as their own guards, and generals are trained as their own guards. Naturally, there will be no strong soldiers who use heavy crossbows in the ordinary regular army.

　　 The shooting frequency of the heavy crossbow is not as good as the strong bow. If a certain number cannot be formed, it is better to let the strong and strong soldiers use the strong bow...

　　 Because of this, the number of heavy crossbow elites in the Tang army has never been many.

　　 The shooting of 80 Ming army heavy crossbowmen plunged more than 600 official crossbowmen into chaos. The big-head soldiers in the front did not expect the enemy to shoot themselves down at such a distance.

　　 Many soldiers who have no idea about distance simply drew bows and arrows to shoot at Richard's army. They thought that they had reached the effective killing range. The enemy could shoot themselves, and of course they could shoot the enemy!

　　As a result, the advancing front-row bowmen of the government stopped, bent their bows and set up arrows one after another, and the other soldiers who did not shoot arrows could not help but follow the current and threw in the direction of Richard's army.

　　 Then, the two sides shot each other...

　　 The Ming Army archers in the direction of Richard didn't mean to shoot arrows at all. They had been standing behind the Ming Army's heavy crossbowmen's line. Richard also knew that the Ming Army archers could not shoot the enemy within this distance.

The rain of arrows of the official archer crossbowmen fell from the sky layer by layer, but only less than one percent could fall on the Ming army heavy crossbowmen, and the Ming army heavy crossbowmen could guarantee at least two-thirds of the hit rate, even if they shoot. Most of the officials and soldiers in China were only injured, and not many died directly, which is also a very impressive result.

In the same way, after the official crossbowman hits the Ming army heavy crossbowman, there is only a low probability of killing the enemy. Most of the arrows hit only cause the Ming army heavy crossbowman to be slightly injured. As far as the heavy crossbowmen of the Ming army are concerned, they can't even get them out of the first line of battle!

The two sides hit each other. The official crossbowmen miscalculated the distance. One round of arrows rained down and only a few arrows hit, while the Ming army's heavy crossbowmen had only a few dozen people, and they would fall down in one round. Dozens of people!

　　 With the increasing number of shots, the official crossbowmen fell in pieces, and the number of people killed by the heavy crossbowmen of the Ming army was less than double digits!

　　 The number of government bowers has decreased, making their numerical advantage close to that of the Ming army's heavy crossbowmen, and their disadvantages in crossbow shooting have become even greater!

　　 Just a few minutes after the two sides fired at each other, all the government bowmen who had the advantage in the original number collapsed!

　　 There were more than 600 people when they moved forward, and only more than 200 people were left unharmed when they came back...

　　 over 100 corpses were dropped on the battlefield, and all the remaining soldiers became wounded, and about 20% of them were seriously wounded. With the medical conditions of this era, it is estimated that they will not survive for a few days...

　　 Looking at Li Cha, although many of the 80 Ming army heavy crossbowmen were injured, only 13 people were killed!

　　 This has almost reached a battle loss ratio of 1 to 10!

　　 Even if these crossbowmen rush to the enemy and shoot at each other, they won’t be able to achieve such a shameful battle loss ratio!

　　 However, from the fact that the officers and soldiers of Dashi Town have been able to persist until they have retreated, it can also be seen that these patrol battalions and official staff are fundamentally different from the amateur mercenaries of the patrol team.

　　 "Hehe, the power of the government in Dashi Town is nothing more than that."

After seeing the opponent's first collapse, Richard sneered and sneered. Then, with a wave of one hand, the Ming army heavy crossbowmen and Ming army archers formed the first line, and the Ming army heavy infantry formed the second long spear horizontal formation, with two wings. Hundreds of Ming army light cavalry were arranged separately, and they pushed forward slowly!

　　 When Han Li saw Richard give up his defensive posture and start offensive, his face suddenly turned into pig liver color!

　　 "Too much bullying!"

　　 Xu Feizhi looked worried and said: "The Korean team is right now, what should we do now?

　　 Richard's team will soon be close to the range of the heavy crossbow! "

　　 "Incorporate the crossbowmen who retreated without injury or minor injuries into the formation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com sent a thousand people to attack, and the rest of them were in the rear to guard against Richard's cavalry roundabout raids!"

　　 Of course, it is impossible for Han Li to admit defeat like this, otherwise he would not be able to confess to the guard at all when he went back!

　　 Both sides must fight a battle and win as much as possible. As long as they win one battle, whether or not Richard flees, Han Li has a reason to excuse himself.

When the patrol battalion and the officials of the Dashi Town government office first came here, their morale was still very high. They were the most capable unit in Dashi Town, and they looked down on the amateur mercenaries of the patrol team, let alone the surrounding areas. The ordinary patrol of the village.

　　 However, after the first battle, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and more than half were injured. Only a dozen enemies died!

　　 This kind of result made the morale of the patrol battalion and the official staff inevitably lower, but most of the melee soldiers did not join in that battle, so there was a resentment in my heart, and I did not think that Richard was invincible.

　　 No matter how powerful Richard’s Taoist soldiers are, there are only a few hundred men. The government’s military strength is at least three or four times that of Richard’s, and the hope of victory is still quite high.

　　 Under the order of Han Li, more than 1,000 people composed of the patrol battalion and the government officials and government officials formed two large formations and marched in the direction of Richard's team. Behind them was the reserve team.

　　 This time, neither Han Li nor Xu Feizhi joined the front team personally, but chose to stay in the reserve team behind...

　　 Both knew that Richard had a weird magic weapon in his hand that could shoot an invisible hidden weapon to kill people, so they wouldn't have committed a risk on the front line unless they were a last resort.

　　 After discovering that the government's army was advancing, Richard's army stopped abruptly!
