The veterans of the main force on the city wall had no expression on their faces, but many soldiers of the literary army were shocked. They did not expect that they could shoot so far.
The great scholar who rose into the air looked at the point where the arrow of Zhujiang Army fell, then glanced at Zhujiang Army and Fang Yun, as if thinking about something.
The impact points of the Zhujiang Army's arrows are smaller but more dense.
The speed of the demon army slowed down obviously, but soon accelerated and rushed to within five miles in one breath.
Almost when they rushed to the point where the arrows landed, the officers of each army issued orders, and the sound of thundering tongues spread all over the city walls, and thunder rolled.
Before the officers of the Pearl River Army issued their orders, Fang Yun's voice spread throughout the Pearl River Army.
"The first round of volleys, after that all archers will shoot in three rounds according to the drill method!"
Ten thousand crossbowmen did not move, while fifty thousand archers drew their bows together.
They pulled the bow with their right hand and fixed the arrow with their left hand. Everyone wore a leather glove on their left hand, and the tip of each arrow was dyed with a layer of dark green poison.
"shooting!"
The generals and officers gave the order for the entire army to shoot arrows.
Five miles away, some monsters in front of the Pearl River Army looked up suddenly and saw a locust-like rain of arrows suddenly appearing in the sky.
The moment they saw the rain of arrows, all the demon commanders and barbarian commanders snorted coldly and rushed forward, because the blood and qi armor on their bodies could easily withstand this level of arrows.
The demon people and soldiers were very nervous and tried desperately to hide.
The demon generals and barbarian generals are different. Some of them are very cautious, while others don't care.
A brown-furred rat demon thought it could dodge the arrows from the sky, but suddenly found that they were so dense that it could not dodge them. After hesitating for a moment, it decided to save some energy and not use more blood-consuming magic to blow away the arrows, but let its body withstand a few arrows.
The rat demon dodged many long arrows, but three of them still hit his body, not the vital parts. The rat demon was about to continue running, but he heard three slight sounds.
Puff puff…
That was the sound of the arrow passing through the qi and blood, piercing his fur, and entering his flesh.
The rat demon general was stunned, finding it hard to believe that these seemingly ordinary arrows could hurt him, but the next moment, he suddenly realized that these arrows not only had the power of human war poems, but could also be legendary demon-slaying weapons.
Back then, Fang Yuntian performed a war poem that turned all the weapons of the human race into monster-killing weapons that could last for several years.
“I must be careful next time…” the rat demon general thought, and suddenly he felt his feet go weak and he fell to the ground. He wanted to get up, but found that his whole body was weak.
The rat demon general raised his head with all his strength, and saw another rain of arrows falling. He found that the rain of arrows in front of him seemed to be denser than the rain of arrows on his left and right sides. Then, he closed his eyes weakly.
Before dying, the rat demon will suddenly envy the human race very much. Humans have to learn many tricks before fighting, but the demon world will not teach the demons how to deal with humans. Even if they are taught, not many demons can learn it. Only the ape tribe, fox tribe or some barbarians will make sufficient preparations before the war like humans.
Arrows rained down, and a large number of monsters fell to the ground.
After the first round of volleys, the armies on the city walls either fired in unison or in turns, but in reality, the archers from each army were almost all shooting freely. Even under the command of officers, many archers just shot at themselves, trying to pour as many arrows as possible outside the city wall to kill more monsters.
However, the Pearl River Army is the only one that is different.
Only when the general in command said "shoot" with thundering words, would the corresponding soldiers dare to release arrows. Those who shot indiscriminately without orders would be severely punished. Some soldiers suffered a lot during the drills, and the worst ones were even expelled from the Pearl River Army.
A great scholar stared at the Pearl River Army and soon discovered that the Pearl River Army actually had a strict yet simple system!
First, the distance-measuring craftsmen and scholars used Lu Ban's ruler to measure the wind speed, distance, speed of the monsters and other data. Then, after calculation, they told the results to a general who was a Jinshi and delivered the message.
Afterwards, the messenger general issued the order to shoot, dividing the 50,000 troops into three battalions to shoot.
Under the order of the messenger general, the 50,000-strong army formed a nearly perfect three-round shooting, and the arrows of the Pearl River Army flew out of the city wall continuously and landed among the monsters four miles away.
However, there are bound to be some minor flaws in each team, which require officers to point out and adjust them to make the attack of the entire army smoother.
The scholars at the front began to discuss military affairs on paper and summoned up battle poems and generals.
Soon, a large number of war poetry soldiers appeared between the city walls and the literary soldiers. There were so many of them and their formation was dense, filling up the empty spaces.
Half of these war poets will be armed with melee weapons, and the other half will be armed with bows and crossbows. Those war poets armed with bows and crossbows will, under the control of the scholar and in coordination with the rhythm of the messenger general, conduct three rounds of shooting.
Moreover, these war poets will also conduct cross-fire.
The attack range of the poetry soldiers is short, while the attack range of the literary archers is long. The two armies cooperate with each other to suppress the monsters in front with powerful firepower.
Fang Yun glanced ahead from high above and shook his head slightly.
The military strategies of other generals were not weak, but they had many shortcomings in the details.
In this stage of pure defense and long-range shooting, a lot of military tactics are useless, so only by in-depth research on the details can we kill the enemy to the greatest extent.
Then, the angle, method, timing and so on of shooting are of paramount importance.
Fang Yun knew that military scholars were not incompetent, but most of them spent their time on war poems, military books or the Way of Saints, and few would study this specific fighting method that had no effect on their own Way of Saints or military books.
Fang Yun has not taken any action so far, but the Grand Secretaries and Imperial Academy officers of other armies have tried their best to use war poems or military strategies to strengthen their respective armies.
Looking from the sky, the formation of the monsters outside the city had changed.
From the first to the twentieth city sections, most of the monsters were shot and killed at a distance of three or four miles and were unable to rush within one mile of the city wall. Even if there were sporadic monster leaders who rushed to the city wall, they would be quickly killed.
Starting from the 20th section, many monsters approached the city wall, but they were attacked fiercely by the soldiers above, making it impossible to climb up.
The last fourteen sections of the city are under the charge of the literary army, and many monsters have begun to climb the city walls!
However, the section of the city defended by the Pearl River Army is almost the same as the first to the twentieth sections, and is incompatible with the Wenjie section.
Looking towards Liangjie Mountain from the direction of Yaoman City, the Yaoman formed an "concave" shape in front of the Wenjie Military City section. No matter how they charged, the Yaoman in front of the Pearl River Army could not break through the suppression of the rain of arrows.
Soon, the ministers of various armies discovered the uniqueness of the Pearl River Army.
The chief minister of the Department of Civilization personally contacted Fang Yun, hoping that Fang Yun would announce the specific methods of training troops and tactical systems, and explained that once used by the human race, not only would the Pearl River Army be rewarded with military merit, but he would also be rewarded with military merit.
Fang Yun prepared for a long time. He directly copied the document in the swallowed seashell with the official seal and sent the letter to the other party.
Then, Fang Yun looked at the Qishan Army on the left.
Gou Bao, Marquis of Qishan, was staring at the barbarians in front of the Pearl River Army in a daze, his face ashen.
