Chapter 760 Precision Attack
After a fight, everyone suffered losses, so Zhang Yu adjusted his defense.
The rest of the wells should be protected and cannot be destroyed by the enemy.
Although Lu Bu and the others destroyed more than half of the curbs, the situation did not improve much.
Because they lost a general, which had a great impact on morale.
The next day Zhang Yu sent troops again.
"It's not easy to fight. I guess we have to fight hard. I don't know how much we will lose." Looking at the tall city wall, Zhang Yu was deeply helpless.
I don't like this style of play, the loss is too great, but there is no good way now.
The storm continued, and after a day of fighting, Zhang Yu's losses increased significantly.
Without the suppression of more than half of the archers on the well fence, Zhang Yu's battle damage has increased a lot.
At night, Zhang Yu walked alone outside the barracks, watching the soldiers patrolling back and forth, and also saw the soldiers watching on the well fence.
"That's right, you can see everything on the top of the city from the top of the well fence. Isn't this the watchtower for future generations?"
With a watchtower in the sky, the shells below me are ready to shoot. As long as they command them well, the archers below will have eyes, pointing where to shoot.
After having an idea, Zhang Yu hurried back. After returning, Zhang Yu found Guo Jia.
"Feng Xiao, let the soldiers on the well fence observe the movement in the city, and then command the archers below, so that the archers can strike accurately." Zhang Yu said.
Guo Jia thought about it carefully and said: "My lord, commanding the direction is easy. As long as the flag is pointed, the soldiers can know which direction, but how to command the distance is more difficult."
What Guo Jia said makes sense, distance is the key.
Not only must the shooter know the distance, but the first thing to do is to observe the hand and know how to measure the distance visually.
Visually measure the distance, and then add the direction, so that the archer can guide the target.
"There is a way. We use the city wall as the baseline. The archers below have been fighting for so many days, and they know the distance from the city wall very well, and they know the distance from where they stand."
"after,
With the vision of the watchtower, archers can also strike targets behind the city walls. "
The function of the watchtower is not only to observe the movement on the city wall, but also to observe the movement behind the city wall.
Where there are many troops, where supplies are being transported, where are preparations for a storm, and where are the archers.
These materials are useful.
Zhang Yu trained a group of observers overnight, and then discussed with them how to command.
There are also some problems with the command, that is, it is impossible for the archer to keep looking at the command flag bearer on the well rail.
Therefore, Zhang Yu set up a few people in front to observe the flag bearers above. They faced the archers and their backs to the city wall.
But this is very dangerous. They are relatively close to the city wall and have already entered the range of the enemy. Several people need to hold shields to protect them.
The flag bearer on the watchtower transmits the information to the flag bearer on the ground, and the flag bearer on the ground passes it to the archer. Everything is commanded by the command flag.
Commanding is also simple, with one hand pointing the direction and the other hand commanding the distance.
It is not difficult to command the distance, and various actions represent different distances.
Zhang Yu worked out a method and let them start practicing.
After dawn, Zhang Yu and the others began to attack.
Suddenly, an extra part of the well appeared with a command flag in his hand, and there were two soldiers protecting him beside him.
The same is true under the city, there are some more people, most of them are holding a shield to protect a person.
As soon as the offensive began, a high-intensity war broke out between the two sides.
"Strange, why are the archers of the Jiangdong army so disorganized today? Is there some kind of conspiracy?" Chen Gong guessed after reading it.
Both the flag bearer on the well fence and Chen Gong, the flag bearer below, knew it, but they hadn't guessed their functions yet.
Chen Gong also guessed that they were commanding the archers on the ground, but the problem was that their combat effectiveness dropped drastically as soon as they commanded them.
This is easy to understand. After the flag bearer started commanding, the flag bearer on the ground could not respond accurately immediately and gave the command to the archer.
And the archers couldn't react immediately after seeing these actions, and there were always many people who didn't understand.
The archers did not shoot their arrows in time, and many of them pointed in the wrong direction and distance, which did not form a joint force.
For all the reasons, the operation of this plan did not go smoothly.
"Send two more people up, one to direct the direction, one to direct the distance, and the other to shout out the distance to me." After watching for more than an hour, there were still too many mistakes in directing, so Zhang Yu arranged for people to go up again.
The standard bearers selected by Zhang Yu all went to Jiangdong College. Although most of them are elementary colleges, they are not low in education, flexible in mind, and fast in learning.
After sending two more people out, the effect is obviously much better. At least the flag bearer only needs to direct with one hand, and the movements will not make mistakes. There is no need to worry about drawing squares with one hand and circles with the other.
At least some of the archers in front who could hear the call were quick and accurate.
The archer's skills improved, and his reaction speed gradually became faster.
In the afternoon, Chen Gong discovered that the archers began to have tricks, and sometimes they could cause a lot of damage to themselves.
The standard bearers commanded more and more precisely, and they attacked wherever there were many people on the top of the city.
"It's very troublesome for Zhang Yu to think of such a way."
Now the power has not been fully manifested, but there are already signs, so Chen Gong has to be on guard.
Chen Gong tried several methods to kill those knowledgeable standard bearers, but they all failed in the end.
These people are very well guarded, unless you go out of town to kill them, it is very difficult to kill them with archers, or even with javelins.
After trying for a day, Zhang Yu felt that the effect was gradually reflected. The archer had eyes, and the battle would be much easier.
This day was not very fruitful, because both sides were not yet familiar with each other.
That night, Zhang Yu summoned all the flag bearers.
"Let me tell you, we must focus on attacking important targets, not where there are many people."
"Key targets, unprotected targets, generals, transportation teams, and timely suppression of the enemy to cooperate with the siege team."
Zhang Yu summoned them for training so that they could command better.
The general on the top of the city is undoubtedly an important target. Staring at a person, hundreds of arrows will kill him at the same time. Even if he can't kill him, he will be scared to death, so that he can't concentrate on commanding, and he will die if he is not careful.
After Zhang Yu's training, these people returned to work.
This time they will choose the target to attack, not where there are more people to attack.
For example, they found a young general on the top of the city and commanded hundreds of archers to attack together, and the young general was shot into a hedgehog.
As soon as the young general died, the surroundings became chaotic for a while.
This dealt a great blow to the morale of the enemy. Many generals were timid when they commanded, and the soldiers were afraid when they saw it.
In addition, there were also those who carried logs and stones up. They walked in the internal test, but they were also attacked after being discovered. They had no defense at all and many were killed.
