C306 Counterattack (1/2)
After the phalanx had been organized, the enemy attacks had become insignificant.
Not long after, Xiao Wen discovered that the dense shooting had reduced by a lot. When he saw this, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
”That's true! It would be good if a person could shoot ten arrows a day! ” Xiao Wen said.
After all, archery wasn't something that could be launched indefinitely with an arrow. This action of pulling the bow, in the absence of the lever to slide and other devices to assist, was a very forceful one. Under normal circumstances, it was already quite good for an adult male to shoot ten arrows a day.
If he had more than ten, he would probably have to pay the price of getting injured.
Thus, on the battlefield, the commander would only order the archers to attack at the right time.
”It seems like they aren't doing much either!” Anthony also laughed.
He said: ”I once saw a group of Englishmen in Damascus, and the moment their archers stopped attacking, their knights would rush up to the enemy without giving them any time to react. But I don't think I heard any attacks from these Thieves. ”
Xiao Wen rolled his eyes at Anthony, and said: ”A normal thief would definitely not be able to understand the cooperation of a mounted gangster. To be able to perform this maneuver, he would be an elite amongst elites no matter where he went. ”Although we have an army that can do this, if the bandits can do the same, it would be really scary!”
If bandits had this level of training, they could probably invade cities and take over the throne, waiting for orders. Would they even try to rob him on this crappy border?
Anthony did not refute Xiao Wen.
After all, he was the boss, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
After Xiao Wen and the others waited for a while, suddenly, a voice came out. It was the voice of a rough man. He said, ”Are there any living people inside?”
Hearing this, Xiao Wen was speechless.
Brother, do you still not know if there are any living people inside? Then when you shot your arrows just now, it was just a random shot?
In a short while, Xiao Wen's evaluation of the quality of this group of thieves reached a new low.
However, just as Xiao Wen was about to organize his reply, a voice came out from inside the carriage.
Xiao Wen could hear very clearly that this was Guan Yu's voice.
His voice was filled with intense disdain as he said, ”Hmph! You are just a prostitute, how can you be so arrogant here? ”
With that said, Xiao Wen heard the sound of the carriage window opening.
Then, Xiao Wen heard the sound of the crossbow pulling on the trigger of a sword.
Then... There was no 'then'.
If a normal person was shot by a crossbow, if they were shot in the body or injured, they would definitely scream miserably. Even if they were not injured, they would still let out curses and complaints.
However, no one made a sound, which could only prove one thing, and that was that the person outside had been killed instantly by Guan Yu.
”Haha!” Guan Yu, the little guy, was very decisive. I've seen many new recruits who didn't dare to kill the enemy on the battlefield and ended up getting killed by them. However, those who remained would definitely become elites. I think Mr. Guan Yu will become a good soldier. ” Anthony said.
Xiao Wen cast him a glance, and felt a little helpless. After all, he had never ordered Guan Yu to kill someone. However, the current Guan Yu was unable to resist his desire to battle, and this gave Xiao Wen a headache.
A strong desire to fight was a good thing. After all, compared to those who had a strong desire to fight, most of them would stop in their tracks in the face of a battle.
If a person's heart was filled with the desire to fight, then his warrior's path would definitely surpass 90%.
