Chapter 369: The Longest Weapon

The focus of the discussion was naturally Murong Xue's basic attack that could preempt two rounds of strikes and Lao Ma's basic crossbow technique.

Murong Xue's basic attack has not yet been used, and since its introduction is relatively clear, there are not many words to discuss, if she is with Cheng Kong and the others, then she will be the first to strike at the enemy.

And the old horse's basic crossbow artillery, there are too many places to complain.

First of all, it is certain that Lao Ma's ballista is very powerful, so strong that it is a bit against the sky, I am afraid that even if the giant mantis is hit by this ballista, I am afraid that it will have to suffer a lot of injuries.

But in contrast to the intolerable hit rate of the old horse, and the bulkiness of the ballista.

Cheng Kong asked the old horse to take a ballista for himself to play with, and as soon as he took it, Cheng Kong's hands sank down.

Heavy, very heavy.

Cheng Kong didn't have a weighing instrument in his hand, but he put a cushion, estimating that the weight of this all-metal ballista would not be less than two hundred kilograms.

For Cheng Kong, a 200-kilogram ballista is not a big problem to use, after all, Cheng Kong's strength is enough to flatten a ballista with one hand, but it can't last too long.

However, it is important to know that the old horse needs to hold three ballistas, which is too reluctant in terms of his strength, and even if he can be flattened, he can't aim and shoot.

Besides, if you add the crossbow arrows, their weight will increase a lot.

Therefore, the only way for the old horse to use this ballista is to mount it on something, such as the big rock before.

All in all, according to Cheng Kong's view. The ballista was placed in the old horse's hand, and he was a little sad.

Due to these unfavorable factors, the old horse used this ballista, either in the defense of the city. Either you need someone to protect you, or you need to trip up the enemy.

In short, this ballista does not look as perfect as Cheng Kong originally imagined, and it is very limited in terms of use.

But if it is used well, in a specific environment and conditions, killing the top class will not be a problem, it is completely up to how to use it.

Cheng Kong and the others discussed for a while. So he decided to go out and test the maximum range of the ballista.

Several people went up to the city wall, and the lizards guarding the city wall did not interfere with the actions of Cheng Kong and the others.

The old horse restored the three ballistas and erected them on the battlements. Then the arrow was twisted, and this action took more than three minutes.

No way, for something like a ballista, the old horse's movements are relatively quick.

In ancient China. A group of twenty or thirty bed crossbow operators. Controlling a bed crossbow can shoot an arrow in more than ten minutes, which is already considered a superb skill.

Of course, the bed crossbow is much more troublesome to operate than the old horse's ballista, and because the material of the bed crossbow is not too hard, it will not be shot many times, and the bed crossbow will be damaged.

In any case, the old horse has its own advantages. At least he has a lot of strength, and six hands do it together. It's much better than the average person.

The crossbow bolts are good, and the bowstring is twisted.

First, he fired flat, and the old horse pulled the trigger when he aimed at a relatively open swamp, and the crossbow arrow shot out with a bang.

The three-meter-long black crossbow arrow turned into a black streamer, like an iron spear breaking through the air, and disappeared into the mangrove forest in a blink of an eye, mixed with the sound of some mangrove breaking.

"I'll take a look." Compared to Lao Ma and Murong Xue, Cheng Kong, who had wings, was undoubtedly more suitable than them to find the crossbow arrow that had disappeared into the reckless woods.

Of course, Cheng Kong alone would definitely not be able to do it, and then the crows, snakes and insects under Cheng Kong all scattered out of the curl, looking around in the forest where the crossbow arrows disappeared.

With the help of eleven crows and ten snakes and insects, two crossbow arrows inserted diagonally into the quagmire were finally found after more than ten minutes.

Although the two crossbow arrows pierced a few mangroves on the way and reduced some range, the first crossbow arrow landed more than 800 meters away from the city wall, and the second crossbow arrow was also more than 700 meters away from the city wall, which means that if the resistance of those mangroves is removed, one thousand meters is appropriate.

But this is just a flat shot, Cheng Kong returned to the city wall to say the data of flat shooting, Lao Ma was very excited, obviously, compared to other long-range troops, the range of this ballista is enough to defeat all bows and arrows.

Cheng Kong's strength has increased greatly now, and after superimposing the muscles and flesh skills and even the sniper crossbow, the flat shot of an arrow with a slight angle is at most about 200 meters, and if it is fired at an angle of 45 degrees, the firing distance can be increased to 500 meters, but in that case, the accuracy will be very poor.

And Lao Ma's ballista has a completely flat fire of about a thousand meters, which is already five times the distance of Cheng Kong.

If the old horse can skillfully operate the ballista, the time to twist the arrow will be shortened.

The two of them shot at each other, and Lao Ma could basically fire two rounds of ballistas before Cheng Kong could attack him.

That is to say, when Cheng Kong ran to a distance of about two hundred meters from the old horse, he needed to withstand the bombardment of twelve crossbow arrows.

Of course, with Cheng Kong's reaction, Lao Ma's crossbow arrows may not be able to hit, but this has already occupied a great advantage in terms of tactical height.

"Try shooting from the back." Cheng Kongxin was thinking about how the old horse's crossbow arrow should be used more appropriately, and at the same time instructed the old horse to continue testing.

Bang, there was another sound of the ballista steel strings vibrating, and the ballista, which had been adjusted to a forty-five degree angle, shot two crossbow arrows that shimmered with cold light.

At a forty-five-degree angle, the two crossbow arrows climbed their heights, and after reaching their peak, they crossed a graceful parabola and then began to dive towards the ground.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of not finding the location of the crossbow arrow, Cheng Kong had to drive the crow in advance, and the snake and insect flew out of the curl, followed the crossbow arrow, and chased after it.

Of course, with the speed of crows and snakes and insects, they can only eat ash and lick their farts, and watch from afar as the crossbow arrows rush into the mangroves from the air, breaking through many mangroves that stand in the way.

The results of this test were much better than those of flat shooting.

A crossbow bolt pierced through three mangroves, breaking two mangroves and falling 2,300 meters from the city wall.

Another crossbow bolt fell 2,600 meters from the city wall after breaking a mangrove tree.

That's probably it, it can be estimated that if there is no mangrove blocking, the range of the crossbow arrow can be increased a little, then it should be two thousand seven or eight hundred meters.

This range is already impressive.

In any case, in this heroic world, Lao Ma's ballista can be called the longest-range weapon.

After some discussion between the three of them, it was decided to let Lao Ma act as a long-range heavy fireman, after all, the range of the ballista was too amazing. (To be continued......)
