"Release!"
Hearing the sound of Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse hooves approaching, Yang Rui estimated that they were within the range of the archers and waved his hand to give the order to attack.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's ten men were riding horses, and the speed of the soldiers charging forward was not any slower than the horses. It could be seen that they were the elites of Imagawa Yoshimoto's troops.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"…"
A torrent of arrows suddenly rose in front of Yang Rui's troops, heading straight for the entrance of the narrow barrel canyon.
This time, Yang Rui had participated in the Long Tail Jing Hu Shengluo storyline. The main body of infantry was made up of over 400,000 Yellow Turban Soldiers, and almost none of them had brought along archers. However, the hunting bow in each of their hands had long become the standard issue in the army.
Furthermore, since Yang Rui was guarding the entrance of the narrow barrel canyon, he had already asked for all the archers from Zhang He and Tracer Dragon Soul's troops to come over. The main attacking force was these people.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Ugh!"
"Ah …"
"…"
The narrow opening of the narrow barrel canyon, with tens of thousands of archers firing at the same time, the density of the arrows naturally increased. It was like a flood passing through a breach, and the pressure was concentrated at the tip of a needle. It was the same principle.
The dense rain of arrows splashed down, and the elite troops behind Imagawa Yoshimoto were the first to suffer.
Although their ranks were not low, they were strong, and they were special troops, but they were still unable to withstand the sudden and dense rain of arrows. Cries of pain and groans filled the air. Other than the troops at the back who managed to stop their formation, the people at the front were almost completely wiped out.
Not only these elite troops, even Imagawa Yoshimoto's ten men on horseback had one of them fall off his horse and die, while the remaining three were hit by a few arrows in the process.
Of course, the one who died was Imagawa Yoshimoto's protector. His identity was originally an elite soldier, but Yang Rui treated him as a historical general.
The other three people who were hit by the arrows were real historical generals of Wo Nation. If it weren't for the slight gap in the middle of the first wave of arrows, the attack power of the sparse arrows would have weakened a lot. Otherwise, the three historical generals of Wo Nation would have been in an even worse situation.
In fact, in that situation, the nine historical generals, including Imagawa Yoshimoto, would not have had an easy time.
After several adjustments, the system kept saying that it wanted to be closer to reality. Other than that, Yang Rui did not think much of it. In the process of welcoming Huang Zhong and chatting, Yang Rui occasionally heard some words about archery.
Huang Zhong was originally talking about the art of war. Perhaps he was quite familiar with bows and arrows, so when he talked about the use of archers, he talked more about it. This enlightened Yang Rui and allowed him to grasp some information.
After that, Yang Rui returned and tried to have many archers train with him. He started with one archer and gradually stacked their shots to test the attack power of arrows fired together. Only then did Yang Rui discover that when the archers fired together, the attack power would be increased.
For example, if an archer's attack power was set at 20, when ten archers of the same strength attacked at the same time, they might be able to hit more than 20 points or even higher. They would not be spread out, and it would be calculated based on 10 attacks of 20 points.
Taking into account the possibility of a vital point attack, the effect of a joint attack might be higher. Although the increase was not unlimited, it was sometimes related to the problem of whether or not to break the defense of the enemy.
If it was said that in the beginning of the game, arrows couldn't kill famous historical figures, just like how Sun Jian didn't die from arrows. However, after a few system adjustments, a long period of arrow rain attacks could gradually injure or even kill high-level experts.
Yang Rui had asked the archers to shoot at the same time because he had taken advantage of this change. Yang Rui didn't expect the rain of arrows to really kill a few of the historical generals of Nihon. Yang Rui's goal had already been achieved if he could hurt them a little or stop them from rushing forward.
The reality of the battle also proved Yang Rui's experiment. Sure enough, three historical generals were injured by the arrow rain, and nine of them, including Imagawa Yoshimoto, quickly retreated from the range of the first arrow rain.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's attempt to break through the canyon's entrance failed. Just as he was about to go to the Organization Department and charge again, he was stopped by the strategist general, Taiyuan Yuzai. He whispered a few words in his ear, and only then did he give up on the idea.
"Are we facing someone from the foreign war? I have heard that the foreign war thrives in one-on-one combat. Is there anyone in your formation who dares to fight? "
Imagawa Yoshimoto probably accepted Taiyuan Yuzai's suggestion, as he imitated the way the Three Kingdoms spoke. It was almost as if he was speaking in a foreign language. He actually wanted a one-on-one combat!
One had to know that during the Warring States period, there weren't many instances of a one-on-one duel at the front of a formation. It should be similar in the game. Who would have thought that Imagawa Yoshimoto would bring it up at this time?
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the leader of the Naga-Tailed Jing Hu Shang Luo Camp, has issued you a one-on-one combat mode. If you accept, you will enter the combat mode. If you do not accept, your camp's morale will drop by 10%.
Do you accept? Please choose. "
Before Yang Rui could respond to Imagawa Yoshimoto's words, a system notification appeared, startling Yang Rui.
"Accept!"
Yang Rui already felt that the one-on-one combat mode was advantageous to him. Moreover, if he did not accept the challenge, his morale would drop by 10%. Yang Rui had no reason to reject it.
"Who dares to challenge me? I am already waiting here. If you feel that one person is not enough, you can send two or three people to challenge me! "
Needless to say, Yang Rui took the lead and drew his sword, pointing it at Imagawa Yoshimoto and the others who were cowering in the canyon.
In fact, Yang Rui was secretly unhappy about the system notification. Imagawa Yoshimoto was the temporary leader of the Naga-Tailed Jing Hu Shang Luo Camp. Just one sentence from him was enough to cause the system to issue a system notification that lowered morale. He wondered if he would receive the same treatment if he spoke up.
Although Yang Rui did not receive the same treatment, his words still caused Imagawa Yoshimoto's face to turn red with anger.
"Ya! Ya! Ya … "
Imagawa Yoshimoto roared as he charged forward, his Tachi raised high in the air. He was running in a straight line.
This was the typical starting stance of a Japanese general. Yang Rui had heard about it from Wako Uesugi. Even if he did not have a deep understanding of it, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of how Japanese generals fought.
In Yang Rui's eyes, he had always felt that the Japanese general's fighting style was very simple.
