Chapter 817: Giant Crossbow

Mao Wenlong was indeed unconvinced, he knew that the Yi people had the advantages of the Yi people, but the Dongjiang Army was not without a place to compete with it. For example, the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army is definitely a big weapon, and Mao Wenlong does not believe that the Yi people will have a way to deal with the high-altitude hot air balloon.

There is no way to deal with high-altitude hot air balloons, so how powerful the defenses on the ground can be.

This is Mao Wenlong's reliance, as long as the hot air balloon can fly to the place, there is no place where the Dongjiang Army can't fight.

Five hot air balloons slowly rose into the air, this is Mao Wenlong's attempt, knowing that the other side can win all battles. Using a hot air balloon to spy on Xiangjiang Island is naturally the best way.

The Dongjiang Army still stayed three nautical miles away, and did not act rashly, and the hot air balloon that had risen into the sky had already begun to float towards the island.

On the top of a high mountain on the island, more than a dozen figures were hidden in the bushes, and when these dozen or so people saw the hot air balloon slowly rising from the Dongjiang Army warship, they were all stunned with surprise.

Lei Meng was obviously the leader of these people, he stared at the hot air balloon with a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "This is the Dongjiang Army's sharp weapon to defeat the Japanese Kou, it can really fly in the air, and it is so high." ”

"Big brother, what should we do, we can't let this thing fly over. I heard that once this thing gets close, it can throw down the canister of fire oil and gunpowder, and the power is unstoppable. The second leader, Wren's tone, was full of worry.

"What are you afraid of, wait for that thing to get closer, and we'll shoot it down with a musket." This is the big grinning three leaders of the thunder.

Raymond, Wren, and Thunder are the leaders represented by the Yi people, and they rule almost half of Xiangjiang Island. The other half is controlled by the Fuso religion of the Persians.

This time, I heard that something happened in Fucheng, and all the Japanese were annihilated, and Fucheng changed hands. The Dongjiang Army was even more menacing, and the army drove directly to Xiangjiang Island.

The Yi and Persians had reached a consensus, and the two sides united to fight the Dongjiang army and repel the invading enemy.

An indifferent and disdainful voice suddenly sounded: "Joke, if the musket could shoot down that hot air balloon, the pirates would be beaten to the point of being powerless." ”

When everyone heard the voice, they saw an old man with blond hair coming slowly, followed by a dozen guards armed with scimitars.

The old man at the head was the leader of the Fusang Sect controlled by Persia, and because he lived here all the year round, he gave himself a Chinese name, Ren Xiongba.

Raymond saw that it was Ren Xiongba, he didn't mind the disdain in his words just now, showed a smile, and laughed loudly: "Sect Master Ren, do you have a way to deal with that thing?" ”

Ren Xiongba was quite polite to Raymond, removed the coldness on his face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that was even more ugly than cool: "There are some ways, but I haven't had time to try it yet." ”

Raymond laughed and said: "The sect leader has always been steady, I believe you will never talk about empty words, you might as well show it to us for insight." ”

Ren Xiongba was simply there, he turned around slightly, and waved to the guards behind him. More than a dozen guards immediately moved out of the way, and a mysterious thing appeared behind them.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Ren Xiongba slowly walked up and pulled away the oilcloth covering it. A giant crossbow appeared in front of everyone.

This giant crossbow is no different from the giant crossbow created by Huang Taiji before, the only difference is that the crossbow arrows are larger, and the principle of spring is borrowed, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the range.

It looks like an ordinary crossbow bolt, but it's magnified many times. After Raymond saw it, his brows immediately furrowed, and he was not very sure that he said, "This is the sharp weapon of the sect master?" ”

Ren Xiongba nodded silently, and then asked the guards to place the crossbow arrows in a suitable place for shooting. Ignoring the doubts of the people around him, Ren Xiongba personally instructed the guards to adjust the angle, so that the crossbow arrows were always pointed at the slowly flying hot air balloon.

Everyone waited with bated breath, wondering if Ren Xiongba could shoot down the legendary hot air balloon if there was nothing strange about it.

Waiting is always impatient, but fortunately, the speed of the hot air balloon is not slow, and when everyone began to get impatient, Ren Xiongba finally made a move.

He kicked the angled guard away with a slam of his hand, and then operated it himself. Looking at his unhurried performance, Raymond and the others suddenly felt a lot more confidence in him for some reason.

"Wow......"

The sound of the bowstring bouncing suddenly sounded, and I saw a huge crossbow arrow three meters long shooting straight into the sky with a howling wind.

Everyone's eyes followed the crossbow arrows, and when they saw the hot air balloon slowly approaching in the air, it was directly hit by the crossbow arrows, and the exclamation suddenly burst out.

"Wind!" In the exclamation, Ren Xiongba hurriedly let out another cold drink.

More than a dozen guards with big shoulders and round waists worked together to quickly pull the strings and place another crossbow arrow. Ren Xiongba didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately aimed at the other four hot air balloons that were slowly rising into the air.

"Wow......" Another bowstring bounce sounded, and without any incident, another hot air balloon was hit again.

The Dongjiang Army suddenly suffered such an attack, and immediately panicked. The general in the hot air balloon was afraid that the speed of the rise would be too slow, so he directly ordered to throw away the fierce fire oil and gunpowder jar that were originally contained.

As the orders of the generals of the Dongjiang Army were carried out, the speed of the hot air balloon was significantly faster. Looking at the hot air balloon that suddenly rose into the air quickly, Ren Xiongba did not order to load the crossbow bolts again this time, he looked at the air without any joy on his face.

"Sect Master, keep shooting! Why don't you? Raymond was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, urging constantly.

"It's useless, this crossbow arrow can't shoot them anymore." Those two arrows just now had already made Ren Xiongba realize the shortcomings.

"This, how is this possible, you didn't even shoot again, how do you know it can't work?" Raymond clearly didn't trust what Xiongba had just said.

Ren Xiongba only glanced at him, and then ordered the guards to pack up their things and prepare to leave. It wasn't until before leaving that Ren Xiongba told Lei Meng in a cold voice: "If Leader Lei doesn't want to wait for too many casualties, then I advise you to prepare quickly." ”

After speaking, Ren Xiongba didn't wait for Raymond's response, he turned around and left. I don't know what to do with leaving Raymond and the three Yi leaders behind?

"Damn Fuso, big brother, let's not listen to him." The three leaders reacted, and the first thing they did was to scold.

Raymond turned around and glared at Thunder coldly, and said coldly, "You shut up for me!" ”
