Chapter 703: The Terrible Peacock
Seeing that many soldiers' arms had begun to twitch, Rahul's face turned cold. How could they fall to this point!
At this distance, it doesn't even require the coordination of willpower. You just need to use your aiming talent, take the target point as the bull's eye, read the approximate data, and then shoot the arrow almost flatly to the designated position.
It can be said that the difficulty has been reduced by half. They are still shooting at unprepared static targets. If they really face elite troops and shoot at moving targets, the hit rate will probably be even lower.
It would be a joke if a legion with explosive output couldn't hit anyone.
There will definitely be errors in shooting. Only super sharpshooters like Huang Zhong and Lu Bu are qualified to talk about hitting the target every time.
In addition, even the locked-on shooting that the Shesheng Battalion claimed was a sure hit was not truly a sure hit, just like the success rate of the Shesheng Battalion's shooting at the Yulin Army was basically not very high. This concept absolutely only existed on a certain level.
Once the influencing factors are higher than this level, the so-called sure hit can only be regarded as a shooting correction.
"It's really annoying!"
Rahul looked unhappy. At his peak, Peacock could even shoot three times in a row, which was enough to shoot five to six times separately.
Moreover, the number of peacocks was not comparable to that of today. The original full establishment was 6,666 people, but now there are only a little more than 5,000. After he cleaned up some of them, there were only less than 4,000 left.
However, through the use of clairvoyance, looking at the large crossbow arrows in the sky that were emitting flames like peacock tail feathers, Rahul's mouth curled up slightly. A peacock is a peacock, even if they have fallen to this level, they are still the most elite legion in the world.
Yan Yan was inspecting the camp. He was placed in the front camp so that he could rely on his natural ability of tenacity to buy the camp plenty of time for a counterattack.
In a defensive battle, Guan Yu and his men could not catch up with Yan Yan even if they rode their horses hard. After all, Yan Yan was the commander of half a large army. Relying on his legionary talents, he was confident that he could withstand all kinds of pressure.
Suddenly, Yan Yan felt as if someone was staring at him. His heart began to beat wildly and he had a bad premonition.
He couldn't help but look up, and saw a few spots of light appearing in the sky. He shouted subconsciously before he could even see clearly.
"Enemy attack!"
As Yan Yan's shouts spread throughout the front camp, the camp's cloud defenses were lifted into the air almost instantly.
Zhang Song and his men anticipated that the Kushans would launch an attack in the next few days, so the soldiers in the front camp had made all preparations. This time their on-the-spot reaction was even better than any of their training.
But Yan Yan miscalculated after all. Although the cloud defense could offset the cloud blessing on the bow and arrow, this attack was not just a cloud attack .
In Yan Yan's sight, the distorted flames with light spots continued to grow larger and densely filled Yan Yan's field of vision.
"No……"
Yan Yan roared when he reacted. Before he could use the cloud attack in his hand to target the crossbows in the sky, more than four thousand arrows as strong as spears had already smashed into the Han army's camp.
Yan Yan madly burst out with all his strength. Several arrows were aimed at him. Although he wanted to dodge, the arrows were too fast and he had no way to avoid them.
When the crossbow arrows, which were almost as long as spears, shot towards them with the visual distortion of fire, even Yan Yan, whose strength was not suppressed by the cloud energy and whose internal energy was leaving his body, felt frightened.
He even felt that if he was hit hard and in a vital part, he would be killed in one shot.
Encountering such an ultra-long-range attack for the first time, all the Han soldiers were quite at a loss, but their good military qualities made them spontaneously try to block or dodge.
However, the attack came too fast and too fiercely, and most of the Han soldiers could not escape even if they dodged. These terrible arrows instantly pierced through all the soldiers who dared to block them.
The terrifying force not only pierced through the soldiers, but also carried the Han soldiers towards the ground behind them until most of them were buried in the ground.
This terrible killing weapon, when it suddenly appears, there is no way to stop it.
It can be said that the morale of the Han army's front camp dropped to freezing point almost instantly, and it can almost be said that their minds were completely crushed by such an attack.
It's not that they are weak-willed, but it's just too terrifying. Even before many soldiers understood what was happening, blood had already splattered on their armor. The soldiers who were shot fell down in a row like wheat being cut.
With thousands of their companions suddenly dead and even their commander being struck and disappearing, all the surviving soldiers were stunned and their mental endurance was almost about to collapse.
"Be alert, the enemy is attacking, prepare to counterattack!"
Yan Yan's voice came along with the legion's talent, and all the panicked soldiers finally calmed down. Then, ignoring their companions who had died in battle, they quickly began to assemble according to their training, preparing to resist possible attacks from enemies.
Yan Yan covered his chest, took out a handful of pills from his chest and swallowed them directly, dissolving them with his internal energy.
Although he was indeed full of energy just now, in fact he had been completely injured. His internal energy was completely unable to stop the injuries, and he even had to rely on drugs to speed up the healing process.
“That was a close call!”
Yan Yan, who barely escaped danger, had a pale face. The blow just now was too terrible. If he had been hit suddenly when the clouds of both sides were entangled, he would definitely have died.
However, in that case, the Peacock Legion's attack would not be able to achieve this effect.
The speed of the Peacock Arrow was achieved with the help of the clouds. Even if the blessing of the clouds was offset later, the speed at that time was already fast enough.
The surprise was the main reason for their heavy losses this time.
"We have to pass the message back. This kind of attack may be launched more than once. We must let others be prepared!" Yan Yan was determined to die. He didn't know if he could wait for support.
The opponent launched such an attack, and the blow he would face next would probably be more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Where on earth did the attack come from? Such a legion must be eliminated as soon as possible. The blow to morale is almost fatal!"
While rushing to the front line, Yan Yan captured several messengers and brought the information to Liu Bei and others in the rear.
Even with his talent as a backup, morale was almost broken. If other people were to encounter this situation, I'm afraid the camp would be blown up.
By the way, Yan Yan was thinking about where this terrible attack came from.
They were clearly staying in the camp, and even with his internal energy leaving his body and occupying the advantageous position, he did not see the enemy. So where did the other party launch the attack from?
