Chapter 739: The Power of the Giant Crossbow
The distance of ten miles is not far for the Gang Saint masters, and even with the use of Gang Qi, they can rush over quickly, but after being sealed in the air, they will eventually face the city wall, so Long Wu is not worried about this distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And within ten miles, Long Wu is even less afraid, because except for the place where there are two necessary roads, the rest of the places are full of traps, I believe that once these people rush over, unless they go one by one, as long as the army must fall into the well, the loss is not small.
Hearing that the other party was allowed to approach within a distance of ten miles, Xiao Know-it-all and the others couldn't help but glance at Long Wu more, is it a little arrogant to fight back at such a close distance? Or are these giant crossbows really that reliable?
The left-eared army on the opposite side is coming towards Wolong Town with a thunderous momentum.
The distance of 100 miles can be reached in half an hour for them. I thought that the other party would carry out an appropriate counterattack to delay their way forward, but now it seems that it has been pushed to eighty miles, but the other party still has no movement at all.
The left ear of a general's armor couldn't help but laugh loudly to the left and right, "See, it is said that Wolong Town has built a tall city wall, and it seems to have the appearance of a city, but how about a real fight?" Aren't you cowardly as a mouse? If you don't even have the courage to fight back, can such an opponent be called an opponent? ”
"Haha, yes, it seems that we only need to rush into the city with one blow, at that time, Wolong Town is ours, and these walls are also ours."
"That's right, especially the Long Wu who offended City Lord Li, we must catch him, and then cut it with a thousand knives, and let everyone know the fate of offending us in the three days of the violent corpse."
"Long Wu? I'm afraid I'm scared and fled, hahaha. ”
A cronie is full of victorious words, and Wei Changyin, who is only on the side, doesn't think so, he has told his plan, he doesn't have any precautions on Long Wu's side, and there is no movement yet, so it can only be said that the time is not yet.
Thinking of Long Wu's various methods, Wei Changyin suddenly felt a little scared, so he whispered to Zuo Ear on the side: "General Zuo, I'll go to the back and take a look, I'm afraid that some people will flee if they are afraid of war, I'll go to oversee the army!" ”
"You're cowardly, aren't you?" The left ear laughed, as if he looked down on Wei Changyin, but at this time he was full of confidence, so he didn't want him to disturb his Yaxing, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go if you want, no one will stop you, but I can remind you that when we occupy Wolong Town, there will be no military merits for you." ”
"Understood, understood." At this time, Wei Changyin just wanted to leave here early, and he didn't have any idea of any military merits, as far as he was concerned, being alive was the greatest credit.
And not long after Wei Changyin retreated with a few cronies, the army at the front had already advanced to a place ten miles away from Wolong Town. It was at this time that Long Wu, who was drinking on the city wall, gently spit out a word - put.
The three thousand soldiers who had been waiting for Long Wu's order immediately pulled away the giant crossbow that had been prepared long ago, and then put on a huge trunk that was enough for two people to hug, and there was some powder on it, which was obviously poisoned, this poison was very ordinary, and it was composed of some plants called hemp leaves, so that people would not die after being contaminated, but they would be paralyzed for a while.
The powerful giant crossbow, combined with the help of the person who uses the giant crossbow, and the medicinal powder, makes it a very powerful lethal weapon in the chaos of the army.
Ten people held a giant crossbow, some drew bows, and some loaded crossbow branches, and as soon as Long Wu's voice fell, three hundred giant crossbows immediately rushed out with thunder.
As soon as the three hundred giant crossbows were fired, they immediately poured towards the 50,000-strong army on the opposite side like locusts, carrying the sound of whirring wind, which changed the direction of the dust that was about to drift on the opposite side.
"What's that?" The 5,000 vanguard troops who rushed to the front were thinking that they would rush into Wolong Town in a while, enjoying the power of the first merit, but they never thought that no one had seen one, and the credit was not half a point, and they were indeed greeted by tree trunks in the sky.
"Tong... All of them. ”
It was at the moment's hesitation that the trunks of the trees shot out of the giant crossbows came before them and stormed into their camp.
The powerful trunk of the tree was extremely ferocious under the strong push of the giant crossbow, and rushed into the crowd with the momentum of thunder, and then began to wreak havoc on the brigade, first I don't know how many people were shot, then how many people were not knocked over, and finally I don't know how many people were pressed.
The first round of 300 giant crossbows immediately completely disrupted the vanguard army of 5,000, and after just the first round, the opponent fell no less than 2,000 people.
This was only the first round of attacks, and just when the vanguard general's head was still blank, a second wave of giant crossbows also fired.
Seeing that it was another tree trunk in the sky, the pioneer officer knew that he was stupid and wanted to escape, so he immediately waved his hand and led people to withdraw. But at this time, where is it so easy to want to retreat, and no one in the camp that is completely chaotic is listening to its command, everyone only knows how to run around, as if only running can improve the probability of survival.
Of course, there are also some people who have cultivated to the Heavenly Immortals, or even the Sages, who are constantly waving their long swords and scimitars, and they want to knock these huge tree trunks into the air. But under the effect of the giant crossbow, the power of each trunk is not more than hundreds of thousands of catties, and with such a great force, it is not something they can resist at all, so the consequences of blocking are not beneficial, either they are directly penetrated by the treemen, or they are pushed by the force to vomit blood, or they simply dodge the first root and die on the second root.
Soon, after the three rounds of giant crossbows were released, there were basically less than two hundred people left in the five thousand vanguard army, which can be said to be lucky, after all, the giant crossbow is still limited and cannot do real indiscriminate attacks, so some people are lucky to survive.
But even if they survived, they really didn't have the courage to move forward anymore, in their opinion, Wolong Town, which was originally within reach, was a gate of hell, and whoever tried to enter it was tantamount to throwing their lives there.
The vanguard general did not have such good luck, although he was said to be a cultivator of the Nine Saints, and he was considered a strong man, but in the face of so many tree trunks, he was still unable to resist, and after accidentally being scratched by a tree trunk, he was anesthetized and fell weakly in the crowd.
"What's going on?" Seeing that the pioneer battalion was abandoned in front like this, Zuo Er, as the main general, finally had a dignified look on his face, he really couldn't imagine that the small Wolong Town had such strength, and it could make his most powerful five thousand pioneer battalions fall so quickly.
"It seems that the other party has some secret weapon." An adjutant general whispered.
"Humph! The carving insects are so skillful, pass my orders, the army continues to advance, the left and right flanks quickly move closer to the wall, and then open a hole and rush in, if they are so ignorant, then I will have a massacre, let them know what the consequences of those who kill us will be? The still confident Left Ear didn't see the true strength of the giant crossbow clearly, all he was thinking about was how to rush into Wolong Town, and then kill it well and raise his prestige.
"Yes." The lord will have an order, and the others naturally have to obey, and someone will immediately pass the order, and then the 20,000 troops on the left and right flanks will begin to approach the city temple.
On the city wall, Song Nianguan, Xiao Know-it-all, Tu Si and others had seen the power of the giant crossbow, and they had wiped out the opponent's most elite five thousand vanguard army so quickly, which made them excited. However, when they saw 20,000 men on the left and right flanks rushing towards the city wall, they could not help but say, "The situation is not good, 20,000 people have evaded the frontal attack and are coming at us." ”
"It doesn't matter, let the 2,000 city defense troops prepare their small crossbows, and shoot them after the other party falls into the trap." Long Wu did not care and waved his hand, the attack distance of the small crossbow is limited, but the lethality is indeed not high, especially the crossbow arrow after being smeared with hemp leaves, which strengthens its killing effect.
The 2,000 soldiers standing on the city wall immediately began to prepare with the portable crossbow arrows in their hands that could release three small crossbows at the same time, and then they saw a scene that they will never forget, that is, 20,000 people on the left and right wings rushed into the trap, followed by a wail, and then countless people were trapped by the long bamboo in the trap, and some who survived had to face the indiscriminate attack of 6,000 small crossbows.
After a wave of 6,000 bows and arrows, no less than a thousand people were killed, and then after they were reloaded, more crossbow arrows were shot forward, and a large number of people were shot by the arrows and crossbows, and they died blindly.
Although the worst person who came was also Gang Zun cultivation, and there were some Gang Immortals, and even Gang Saints, but in the face of such an indiscriminate attack, no matter how great the individual's ability was, it could not be revealed, and it was completely pressed and beaten, and some people were directly entangled by their companions, so that they had no more strength to fight back.
The 20,000-strong army lost three-quarters of its strength in an instant, and fewer than five thousand were still struggling, and they had to face a third, fourth, and even more crossbow attacks.
On the frontal battlefield, the left ear, who didn't know the power of the giant crossbow at all, was still rushing with a large army, and a wave of three hundred giant crossbow attacks followed.
It was only after they really came into contact with these giant crossbows that they knew why the five thousand elite vanguard army would be wiped out so quickly, and the power of this giant crossbow was too great to be resisted by manpower at all.
Maybe it can be resisted by Gang Buddha, but it is also good to only ensure that the whole body can retreat, and it becomes very difficult to take a step forward.
Finally, Long Wu, who was on the city wall, drank the last glass of wine, then got up and stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy army with less than 10,000 horses, he waved his big hand and said two words - attack.
