Chapter 3: The Mighty Man (Part 4)

In order to ensure the effective range, the crossbow arm of each volcanic crossbow has the thickness of a bowl mouth, and the length of one zhang. In order to support such a bulky crossbow arm, the entire ballista must be made very large. In addition, in order to facilitate the firing, a huge arrow box is carried on each side of the body, and each arrow box contains no more and no less iron feather crossbow arrows, each with fifteen arrows. After all calculations, the weight of the entire Fuyuan crossbow and its supporting parts added up to no less than a thousand catties.

Such a heavy behemoth, completely relying on the crossbowmen to pull and push by hand, it is certainly impossible to go too fast. However, the movement speed of the entire Anxi Army's large array was completely based on the Fuyuan crossbow, and it was not at all thought that the robe was trapped near the Qizhong Army by the Great Cannibal Group. From light riders to heavily armored men, from ordinary soldiers to Feng Changqing himself, they all followed behind the ballista, stepping on the drum, not in a hurry.

But the slower they walked, the greater the pressure to gather. In the direction that the crossbow blade pointed, the air seemed to condense into a huge crash, constantly crashing into the Great Eclipse Black Armor not far away. "Boom", "boom", "boom" The silent impact smashed the big cannibal to the side, swaying left and right.

Under this invisible pressure, even the veterans of the Great Food who had experienced the last battle of Hengros were all as pale as earth. In the last battle, the large and small ballistas of ** also left a deep impression on them. However, in that battle, all the ballistae dispatched by the Anxi Army added up to only a few dozen, which was not more than a fraction of today's. Never before have ballistae, large and small, been connected into pieces like today, and they shot non-stop for a moment.

Last time, after paying a certain amount of casualties, they were able to rush to the ballista and completely render these behemoths useless. And today, when the behemoths lined up in an array, they didn't even have a chance to rush to the ballista.

Compared with the two, after the catastrophe of destruction the year before last, the strength of the Tang people has not weakened, but has greatly increased. Regardless of equipment and tactics, they can only look up.

Not only the veterans, but the commander of the Great Food Eastern Crusade Holy War Army, Ai Kailamu, who was standing far away and was responsible for the dispatch of the whole army, saw the thousands of ballistas and ballistas coming in array, and a sense of powerlessness also surged in his heart.

As he wished, after issuing the order for a decisive battle, the big ** Rui who gathered around had already wrapped the heavy armored infantry of the Tang people in it, and the Mo Dao Formation, which had made him frightened, could no longer threaten his handsome banner in a short period of time. However, his heart sank little by little, getting heavier and heavier.

This Anxi Army is not the Anxi Army, and Feng Changqing is not Gao Xianzhi. In addition to being brave and good at fighting, the Anxi Army was above the top from top to bottom. He didn't take the big cannibal in his eyes at all, and he didn't care about hiding behind the ballista, relying entirely on the advantage of equipment to win. Gao Xianzhi back then, when he was fighting, he completely relied on the elite under his command to rampage, and he was as proud as a goshawk. And today's Feng Changqing is as insidious as a fox, from the beginning of the battle to the present, he has calculated almost every step.

Although there is no evidence in his hand, Ai Kailamu even believes that even the sudden weakness of the hands and feet of the warriors in the army is also the ghost of Feng Changqing. This person either sent a dead soldier and poisoned the grain and grass of the army of hundreds of thousands of Eastern Crusades. Either they are proficient in a kind of witchcraft that has corrupted the souls of the mujahideen, and even the most devout followers of Allah cannot resist.

Thinking of witchcraft, Akaram could not help but pray to the gods again, "O Allah, you really don't care about your followers. Don't you care about this fertile soil that grows into a big tree with a wicker stick? ”

Just when he was complaining, the ** main formation in the distance stopped again. The huge Fuyuan crossbow was pushed to the front, and the crossbowman pulled the trigger again without hesitation, "boom, boom, boom, boom......." Every sound was incomparably clear, including the whine of the crossbow bolt tearing through the air, all of which reached Aikailam's ears without missing a gap.

A mist of blood rose in the crowd.

The distance between the enemy and us has been shortened to two hundred steps, and the Great Eclipse Black Armor, who was ordered to block the ** main array, has no way to retreat. Everyone, including cavalry and infantry, mujahideen, volunteers, and improvised minions, were huddled together in a huge black mass. The huge crossbow bolt tore in from the outermost part of the black mass and penetrated deep into Zhangyu. All the obstacles along the way, the vitality was taken away in an instant, and the red Yin Yin was cracked into several blood lines.

"Order, order, let them kill! Fight, fight! Akailam screamed desperately, his voice hoarse as a broken gong. Orders were sent to Amur, Gharib, and Hasiri to lead the team forward. Whoever dares to retreat, I will honor the caliph and kill his whole family. Send a decree to all the imamu over there, and if they dare to withdraw, I will personally tie them up to the magistrate, so that they may live worse than die. Decree to all Mujahideen that the time has come to die for Allah! ”

Crazy commands turned into horn sounds, but they had a very limited effect. The Great Eclipse Black Armor in the distance only expanded rapidly, and then shrank into a huge mass again. Thousands of crossbow arrows flew in the air, and on the side of this huge black mass facing **, a layer was torn off. It's like a torrent tearing at a nest of hapless ants.

The outermost "ant" screamed and died. The rest of the ants continued to huddle together, neither resisting nor knowing how to escape. Another wave of crossbow arrows flew in the air, whistling and tearing down the second layer on the outside of the black mass. Immediately after, on the third and fourth layers, the blood mist rose and stained the entire sky red.

"What are you doing in a daze, waiting for death!" In Aikailam's eyes, the whole world turned dark red. Blood mixed with tears slowly trickled down the corners of his eyes. It's so miserable, it's so miserable, it's just a massacre. Damn Amur, damn Gharib, damn Hasiri, damn Immum, what the hell are you doing?

"Allah is watching you in Heaven, Allah is watching you in Heaven!" If Akailam had grown a pair of ears at this moment, he would have found that the generals and all the imamu he had named had indeed done their best. In the midst of the chaotic formation, these men and their cronies shouted so loudly that their voices were smoking. However, the usual encouragement of all kinds of trials suddenly failed at this moment. The temptation of the Heavenly Virgin could not resist the panic of being shot into the air with crossbow arrows and dressed as meat skewers. The illusory paradise can't hide the bloody reality.

If you want to die, others will go first, as long as you don't shoot on your head, you are lucky. Anyway, the ballista is slow to reload, and the Tang people will soon finish launching this wave. At the moment, almost all the big cannibals have the same idea.

However, they soon realize how naïve their ideas are. The Fu Yuan crossbow and the Qing Zhang crossbow were indeed fired quickly, and the crossbowmen began to get busy again. A large group of Tang people armed with horned crossbows quickly rushed to the front of the military formation. Flat-ended crossbow arm, pull the trigger.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom! The crossbow strings are noisy and cut, like rain hitting plantains. An overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows flew over and fell into the crowd with a whistling eye. One hundred and seventy steps is still a range that can easily tear through heavy armor. Hundreds of cannibals fell to the ground at the same time in the direction of the ** main formation, and the entire battle group was bitten off a whole piece in an instant.

The first row of horned crossbowmen fired. The crossbowman sits down on the spot, using his hands and feet together, and reopens the string. A second row of horned crossbowmen quickly rushed up, overtook them, and pulled the trigger.

Another whole piece of fresh flesh and blood was gnawed from the Great Food Army array. The screams were incessant.

The third row of horned crossbowmen poured out, passed over the second row of crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.

The fourth-row crossbowmen poured out, past the third-row crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.

The fifth row of crossbowmen poured out, passed over the fourth-row crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.

Sixth Row .......

For two whole years, the crossbowmen of the Anxi Army have been repeating the same training, and the formation and movements have long become instinctive. I saw them under the command of the war drums, the machinery walked to the front row and pulled the trigger. Ignoring the results of the battle, he quickly sat down and opened his crossbow with his feet. Then, leaping to his feet, holding a reloaded horned crossbow, he waited for the next command to be given to him.

The leader of the army pricked up his ears to distinguish the sound of the drums. When he heard the drum beat of his own, he immediately raised the horizontal knife in his hand, "Enter!" ”。

"Enter!" The first row of crossbowmen poured out, passed over the sixth row of crossbowmen who were sitting on the spot, and pulled the trigger.

"Enter!" The second row of horned crossbowmen poured out, crossed the first row of crossbowmen who sat down in place, and pulled the trigger.

Third row.....

Fourth row

Rows of crossbowmen rolled forward. Every time he rolled a few steps, the Great Food Army Array on the opposite side seemed to crack a few feet inside.

No soldier in the world can withstand this kind of pressure. The second round of six-stage shooting has not yet ended, and the battle formation composed of tens of thousands of Great Eclipse Black Armor has actually cracked. Facing the ** direction, the entire battle array was concave into a huge gap, and the corpses of people and horses were stacked together, and the blood and water flowed into a river.

The Mujahideen tilted their mounts one after another, avoiding the crossbows. A few of the most timid guys simply turned their mounts around, adding even more chaos to the already chaotic team.

"Rush forward, the time has come to fight for Allah; It's time to die! The generals and imamu were not willing to be ruined like this, and continued to speak with lotus flowers. Aside from the faint response, they received only cold glances. According to the doctrine, the most devout believers of Allah are these Generals and Imam. According to secular rules, they are the ones who enjoy the most benefits within the sect. It's time for them to take concrete action to prove their piety.

"Allah is ......." Several generals who were chattering suddenly felt a chill in their bodies and instinctively looked sideways. They saw a huge crack break beside them. At the end of the crack was the rumbling ballista.

Fu Yuan crossbow, the crossbow is ten stones strong, within three hundred steps, the one who is killed immediately!

"Ahh Before they could see the giant crossbow off the string, the generals were stunned. Instigate your mount and desperately duck behind others. One by one, the Great Eclipse Black Armor steered away from it, lest they would not be able to dodge it like a plague.
