528 ballistas
opened a new book "Synthetic Big Star" and asked book friends to give some collections, and recommendations! Can you give Ant a new book a little recommendation vote, Ant thank you!
The leaders of the rhinoceros and hippopotamus people, Nepangu and Uritan, also had gloomy faces at this time.
When they repelled the human infantry phalanx before, they thought that today was already in their hands, and the next battle would be the same as before.
The light cavalry went up and constantly harassed, biting the rear army of the humans, waiting for them to catch up with the elite infantry such as the minotaurs and pig-headed men, as well as the lion-headed and leopard-headed people, and eat the tired soldiers of the human beings one by one.
This kind of battle mode, they have applied it countless times, it can be said that it has been tried and tested, and the human army will eventually change from a tired soldier to a frightened bird, and then be surrounded by them in sections, eat one bite at a time, and the last one will not be able to escape.
But the reality gave them a hard slap in the face, and the human race didn't know what weapons they used, so they directly covered the battlefield and blocked the backup.
This made them, who were already in control, become a lone army in danger, and if the enemy was the army of those ordinary human kingdoms, they were not afraid.
But the army on the other side is from the famous Riverrun, and it is an elite division trained by the Death God of Riverrun, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Moreover, the cooperation between the various arms is also very tacit, and the combat effectiveness is even comparable to the most elite Holy See Knights of the Mancha Holy See!
From this point of view, how to exterminate human beings is not mentioned for the time being, whether they can return unharmed today is a question that should be concerned.
Now they found that the form on the battlefield was no longer the infantry phalanx they were chasing the human race, but they had become a turtle in an urn with a lone army deep and a broken back!
Those human light cavalry, although they seem to be annoying mosquitoes, but you can't underestimate these mosquitoes, every time they circle around the orc formation, they will harvest the lives of hundreds of orcs.
If it was in the past, the fast-paced leopard-headed man and the sturdy lion man would have jumped out a long time ago to drive away these light cavalry, even if they couldn't kill a few, they couldn't be so arrogant.
But at this time, they didn't dare to go out at all, because the black-clad and black-armored heavy cavalry behind those human light cavalry were like a hammer hanging above their heads.
They knew that if they jumped out of the orc formation, they would be smashed by this hammer in an instant.
Nepangu and Ulitan stood in the middle of the orc formation, looking at the human infantry phalanx in front of them, and the heavy armored cavalry around them, they couldn't care about it.
What they were thinking about was how to launch a mid-lane assault and break through the human infantry phalanx in front of them, because at the moment, it seemed that this infantry phalanx was their biggest threat.
If you defeat them, you will also break the enemy's courage, and at that time, no matter how powerful those heavy armored cavalry are, they will not dare to come and tease their tiger whiskers.
And only by defeating this infantry phalanx, it is possible for them to return alive from here today, as for killing all the humans in front of them, they have no consideration at this time.
"It looks like we're going to organize a death squad!"
Uritan looked at the well-arranged phalanx of human infantry in front of him and said to Nepungu, who nodded in agreement.
They had fought with this human infantry phalanx before, and they knew that it would definitely not work hard at this time, and without a death squad to take the lead, it would be even more impossible to break through this human phalanx.
But just as they were discussing who to let join the death squad, there was a commotion on the human side.
The two of them immediately crowded to the front of the large array and looked in the direction of the human infantry phalanx in the distance.
In the passage in the middle of several human infantry phalanxes, there were human soldiers, pushing more than twenty wooden carts towards the front of the formation.
Soon these wooden carts were pushed in front of the human infantry phalanx, about three hundred meters away from the half-orc array.
And what is placed on these wooden carts is the big yellow crossbow specially made by Xiao Feng!
These rhubarb ballistas are different from the single-operated rhubarb crossbows used in the Han Dynasty, which is a giant crossbow that requires three or four people to operate, and it can even be said to be a ballista.
The criss-cross crossbow made of tough steel sheets, and then the tenacious bowstring made of several rattan leams unique to this planet, and then made by oil immersion and other processes, coupled with the aiming system brought by Xiao Feng from the modern world, makes this ballista car very powerful.
Moreover, the slideway under the crossbow string is divided into different calibers according to different needs, and can be replaced at any time.
The thin slides are dedicated to the placement of crossbow arrows, while the thick slides are for chain hammers, and the thicker slides are for special fire canisters.
Therefore, this ballista can fire different weapons according to different battlefield conditions, although the process is complex and the cost is more expensive, but in the era of cold weapons, this is definitely a melee weapon worth the money.
It can even be said that Xiao Feng saw a half-orc warrior like the rhinoceros man earlier, whose physical fitness was several times stronger than that of humans, and specially came up with a weapon to deal with them.
More than twenty ballista trucks were pushed in front of the human formation, and soon more than a dozen fierce fire oil tanks were pushed in front of these ballista trucks.
In front of these formations, there were soon human soldiers, and they began to mount tall, barbed horses.
Uritan and Nepongu didn't know what the humans were doing with the strange cars, the only thing they knew was the fire-breathing Burning Tank Truck.
However, looking at the many human soldiers, who were not in those cars, and were busy, a serious sense of crisis rose in their hearts, it must be a secret weapon that humans are specially prepared to use against them, and it must be not small.
No, we can't sit here any longer.
"Thunder, you are fast, lead the team to rush up, you can't let them put up all those shelves and get them right. ”
Ulitan beckoned to the lion leader next to him, and said to the leader of the leopard man, although the leopard man is also the upper nobleman of the half-orc tribe, but the bloodline is obviously not comparable to the hippopotamus, rhinoceros and lion people, so their leader Duding does not dare to say anything.
And the lion people are on an equal footing with the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros, and they are really high-ranking nobles, and even more noble than the hippos and rhinoceros.
But there are still some big picture mines, and the humans in front of them who are busy on the wooden frame car also make them feel dangerous.
The lion and leopard-headed people didn't say much, and quickly picked out more than 200 elite soldiers, quickly broke away from the large array of half-orcs, and rushed towards the human side.
It's a pity that this charge didn't go well from the beginning, and as soon as they came out of the big formation, they were immediately bitten by the human light cavalry.
The human light cavalry quickly followed their squad, and did not meet them head-on, but just surrounded them and constantly fired arrows.
All kinds of strong bows and crossbows have caused a lot of damage to this team of lions and leopard-headed people, but after all, they are big cats who are good at running.
At a distance of three hundred meters, that is, a few breaths, they had already rushed to the front, and they were about to jump over those horses and rush into those chariots.
The row of fierce fire oil tanks in the front row suddenly went berserk, and one after another fire dragons sprayed out, and the big cats that jumped in the air quickly turned into roast meat, screaming and falling from the air.
And this situation saw the Uritan and Nepongu as having their hearts and souls broken, and they could not wait any longer, or else the weapons on the human carts would have to be adjusted.
And at this time, the ballistas on those big yellow ballistas were basically ready.
The slide from which the giant crossbow was fired has been replaced with a thicker one, and the human operator has used a winch to wind the crossbow.
Soon there was an ammunition man, and from the wooden barrel next to him, he took out a stone bullet the size of a round lead ball and put it into the card slot.
The shooter in the back immediately began to adjust his aim...
At this time, the large array of half-orcs finally moved, and rushed towards the human car formation.
The Ulitan kept scanning the orc warriors around him, and shouted loudly to boost morale.
"Rush, rush over, crush those dogs' battle formation, and give everyone a meal tonight!"
"Rush, go into the mountain city, everyone will be promoted to the third level, and three human female slaves will be rewarded, and thirty slaves will be rewarded... ”
He had just finished shouting, and just turned his head, when suddenly a black shadow came in front of him with the sound of the wind, and he didn't even have time to dodge.
The black shadow that hit him all hit him fiercely, and said on the spot that the leader of the hippopotamus people smashed his brain and burst out, and died on the spot...
The power of this ballista, Xiao Feng has personally tested, after it is created, the power is not much weaker than in the TV series, the tenacious steel crossbow body, coupled with the elastic crossbow string, makes the effective range of this big yellow crossbow reach 500 meters.
Even longer than many modern small-caliber rifles, not to mention lethality.
A stone bullet the size of a shot put, within 300 meters, a human being is shot, how can it break a person in two on the spot, even if it is a half-orc with rough skin and thick flesh, if he is hit by a shot, it will only end up with a burp.
And today, this Uritan is the first high-ranking orc general to be killed by this weapon!
And the death of Uritan made the group of orcs in front of him who were bravely charging quickly exhaust all their courage.
Because then there were countless stone bullets that flew into their front camp, and the group of rhinoceros and hippopotamus people who rushed to the front, because of their tall size, became the best live targets.
And these guys, who are usually known for their tall and sturdy bodies, have no resistance at all in front of the stone bullets the size of lead balls.
Shot in the limbs, that is the end of amputation on the spot, the torso is shot, either pierced, or beaten in two, the scene immediately fell into a frightening chaos...
