The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"..." Liu Tao looked at the other side of the river. It was about 700 meters away, and there was no enemy camp in the distance. He hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

The craftsmen got the order and immediately got busy using the splicing of wooden boards, and soon completed a pontoon bridge that could allow a single person to pass.Strictly speaking, two people should be allowed, but the craftsman said that for the sake of safety, it is best to move forward alone.At the same time, the distance between the two should not be less than ten steps.

"Yun Chang, you take your soldiers over there first, and then Shangguan Yu, you stabilize your formation over there first, we may have to rest there for a night tonight." Liu Tao then looked at Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu.

"Here!" Guan Yu took the order and immediately commanded the soldiers to go over.

When it was his turn, Zihualiu seemed a little afraid of the water and didn't want to go. Guan Yu comforted the horse and let the horse move forward little by little.For the entire army, he was the last to cross the river.

By this time, the second batch of planks had been spliced ​​together, and the craftsmen began erecting the second round of pontoon bridges.

Shangguan Yu, who had just sent the crossbowmen over, had to wait until the second round of pontoon bridge was completed.

"Brother, what's the situation on the other side of the river?" Lu Yan looked at the other side of the river, but couldn't see anything. She had no choice but to look at Liu Tao.

This was discussed yesterday. At the beginning of crossing the river, Liu Tao placed the 'Eye of the Sky' in the front area.Within a radius of ten miles, they are all within the monitoring range. No matter whether the enemy is planning to ambush or attack suddenly, they cannot escape his 'eyes'.

"There are no enemy troops within a radius of ten miles." Liu Tao shook his head. The center is on the Hutuo River, and both banks are under surveillance.

The purpose is not only to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, but also to prevent the enemy from crossing the river in advance, and then take advantage of their halfway across the river to attack from behind and burn the luggage.

"Hmm..." Lu Yan nodded, feeling a little more at ease, the unknown is what people fear most.

Even if a giant dragon appeared in front of him, at least he would know how to deal with it.But they don't even know where the enemy is, how many there are, and how strong their fighting power is. At this time, they often scare themselves.

"The enemy is coming!" About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Tao finally said something. At this time, the second part of the pontoon bridge was completed.

At this time, two soldiers were allowed to cross the river at the same time, and some heavy soldiers were even allowed to carry some supplies.The archers have completely passed, and they are planning to arrange for the cavalry to cross the river in an orderly manner.

The sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen have already passed, so unless the opponent dispatches more than 300 cavalry, the threat is not great.Liu Tao has confirmed that this distance is still within the casting range, probably because he can 'see' the other party's relationship.

The magic power began to fluctuate. He originally had 5 points of magic power, but now it has become 6 (+1).Because it is only a novice level, it can accumulate up to 1 points, which means it can increase the magic power by 3 points.

The way to increase the points is to click on the 'Secret Method Catalyst' skill. He hasn't clicked on it yet, so he can't continue to increase the points.

The enemy's army has completely appeared in the scope of investigation at this moment. The number is as high as [-]. It is mainly composed of swordsmen and pikemen. In terms of armor and spirit, this is definitely an elite army.

"Three thousand enemy troops appeared on the other side, mainly swordsmen and pikemen, and no crossbowmen were found!" Liu Tao announced immediately.

"Inform Guan Junhou and Shangguan Junhou immediately!" Lu Yan immediately ordered the nearby side, and the latter hurriedly crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived on the other side to inform Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu who were stationed there.

"Oh, there are enemy troops..." Guan Yu nodded, and he looked ahead. After all, the distance was five miles. Maybe the distance is shortening now, but there is really no trace of the enemy army on the horizon.

It's just that he knew very well in his heart that this should be the result of his brother's 'seeing', and I have to say that the sky eye is really convenient.

"The crossbowmen squat down and get ready to shoot, and the archers get ready to throw!" Shangguan Yu gave the order immediately, and the soldiers below followed the order without any doubts, even though they did not see the enemy.

The military orders are like a mountain, and all the soldiers may not learn much martial arts. They learned two things the most when they entered the barracks: constantly tormenting their own strength, and on the battlefield, they must obey orders unconditionally!

That is to say, the crossbowmen are slightly different here, that is, they will spare no effort to practice their arrow skills.During this period of time, when they were practicing, they almost kept shooting, shooting, and shooting, even if the arrow was damaged, they had to keep shooting to improve their hit rate.

"The sword and shield soldiers are ready to defend!" Guan Yu immediately issued an order. After the crossbow soldiers finished shooting, they relied on the sword and shield soldiers to resist the enemy.With 400 enemy troops, one round of shooting can cause about [-] casualties, and the formation will be disordered as a result, and then the sword and shield soldiers will be used for cover.

"Guan Junhou, I'll help you!" A familiar voice came from behind, but it was Liu Ge who led five hundred soldiers from the headquarters to support.They have already started to cross the river one after another, and now the second part of the pontoon bridge has started to be built, two by two, 500 people really don't need much time.

"I'll leave the rear to you!" Guan Yu didn't turn his head, but just shouted.At first, I was worried that the enemy would attack the crossbowmen from the flanks, but now I feel a little more at ease.

Speaking of which, the thief led three thousand elites to the river by a thief general and two lieutenants.They received the news early that the officers and soldiers had already begun to plan to cross the river and go down, so they stationed the bandit general as the vanguard in the middle of the two rivers, planning to attack the opponent halfway across the river.

I thought that the officers and soldiers must be panicked when our own army suddenly arrived, but when they came to see it, they were immediately depressed, and they were all set up...

Chapter 99

This posture, no matter how you look at it, is not a hasty preparation, it is completely ready and waiting for them to come.It's just that it's weird, they have just seen these officers and soldiers so far, so how do these officers and soldiers know that they are here?

The only explanation is that as soon as the opponent came over, he immediately set up his posture like this to guard, and it has been maintained for about half an hour... Are these officers and soldiers stupid?If they don't come, is it necessary to maintain this posture until the whole army comes?

"Alright, if they had maintained this posture for nearly half an hour, they would probably be tired by now. Lighten up their crossbows and bows, and disperse them!" the leader of the thieves immediately shouted.

The soldiers immediately scattered in all directions, keeping a certain distance, and it was vaguely seen that they were in groups of five or five.

They are different from those yellow turban thieves who have not been on many battlefields. Because they are constantly fighting on the battlefield, they know how to face some officers and soldiers.For example, with a crossbow, it is best to push slowly with a thick shield. Even behind the large shield, the soldiers hold up the shield for the second layer of protection, which can avoid arrows to the maximum extent.

If not, spread out, as long as you avoid the opponent's frontal shooting range, and at the same time spread out the formation, you can minimize casualties.Especially in order to avoid being shot, the armor on the head of the big swordsman is hardwood armor, which has better anti-shooting ability than iron armor, and the cost is relatively low.

As for the defense of the sword, the swords held by the sword soldiers were originally used for slashing with all their strength, so they had no intention of defending.

"Tear open the opponent's shield for me!" The bandit general shouted, and his swordsmen were ordered to hold the swords in both hands, and they were about to split into two groups and kill the officers and soldiers.

Most of the thieves had no military literacy at first, but after fighting many officers and soldiers, and some county lieutenants surrendered, they gradually learned to form troops and began to learn some basic tactics and strategies.

Of course, the most indispensable thing is this kind of battle formation modified by thieves and demons. For example, this kind of formation that looks messy and similar to gang fights is called "sparrow formation" by thieves. When hunters (officers and soldiers) come over, they immediately They dispersed in a hurry, and then gathered from all directions to harass.

The officers and soldiers counterattacked, and immediately scattered again, and gathered together when the opponent was defending, which annoyed the officers and soldiers.Once impatient, all the soldiers will join together and move towards the weak, completely defeating the formation of officers and soldiers.

In the recent period of time, this battle formation has given the Yellow Turban Thieves a certain advantage.

Especially now, looking at this position, the five hundred shield soldiers are divided into four, protecting the bow and crossbow troops inside to the greatest extent.This is the result of a temporary change after seeing them scattered.

With only two to three rows of sword and shield soldiers, the defense power seems to be much weaker.If there are pikemen behind, maybe you need to worry about it. At this stage, you just need to keep harassing and force the other party to show their flaws!

Unfortunately, the big swords they held in their hands, or the orthodox big swords called "Gu Ding Dao", had a more armor-piercing effect than the Ring Shou Dao, and it was the most suitable for dealing with sword and shield soldiers.

Breaking through the armor with big swordsmen, and then attacking the vital points with pikemen, and cooperating with the sparrow formation, the main force of the front-line imperial court had to slow down their advance speed.Dealing with this group of officers and soldiers going south should not be a big problem.

The news has already been sent back that this army is a local army from Youzhou, not a frontier army.Since it is not a frontier army, what is there to be afraid of?

"Free fire!" To be honest, Shangguan Yu was really flustered for a moment.

I have never encountered such a situation of rushing forward, it feels like a gang fight, but I vaguely found that these thieves are in groups of five or five, scattered but not chaotic, and at the same time holding a big knife in front and a spear in the back...

After that moment of panic, he subconsciously looked at Guan Yu, and seeing his calm look, he actually felt a little relieved.Immediately stabilized and issued an order.

Scattered soldiers against scattering, this situation was considered during training, but it was the first time they encountered this situation, not to mention Shangguan Yu, the soldiers below were not used to it for a moment.

Following Shangguan Yu's order, the soldiers seemed to recall the requirements of the training, their bodies reacted faster than their thinking, and then they fired freely at the thieves around them in a fan shape.

They didn't seem to notice that as the thief approached, a wind magic power wound towards them, and finally attached to the arrows and crossbow bolts.

Did the arrows and crossbows shoot out? It was still a familiar feeling. There was a vague feeling of a wind blowing from behind, and the flying speed of the arrows and crossbows suddenly increased a lot.

At this moment, Liu Tao's magic power has been increased to 6 points due to the influence of metamorphosis magic, so the magic of 'Storm Arrow' can not only increase the shooting range, but also increase the attack power of arrows by 15 points!

So when the arrows and crossbow bolts were shot out, those thieves who deliberately got close were suddenly distressed.A crossbow shot out, and it was okay to avoid it, but if it couldn't be avoided, even if it had armor, it shot straight through, and even the crossbow continued to fly backwards, and hit the second thief before stopping.

The bows and arrows were thrown well, and the situation of flat shooting was similar to that of crossbow arrows. They almost shot through each other. If they were lucky, they could shoot another one.So it can be seen with the naked eye that when five hundred crossbowmen shot out, there were hundreds of casualties.

"..." The thief general was stunned, why is the crossbow so destructive?It's wrong to look closely!This is obviously a very common stone bow and crossbow, and it is not a big killer like the big yellow crossbow. How could it have such destructive power?
