Chapter 62: The Steel Arm Crossbow

Yun Yue selected twenty ingenious Qiang soldiers to tinker in the adobe house. When Yun Yue ordered www.biquge.info, Ao Canghai couldn't figure out what the use of these bamboo tubes sealed with yellow mud could be.

When the Qin army faced those fierce beasts again, it was no longer as calm as last time. Even the powerful Qin crossbow couldn't deal with the tough rhinoceros skin, let alone the jackals, tigers and leopards with huge destructive power behind them. The one-foot-tall giant ape, like a fist the size of a King Kong rice bowl, can smash the strong man in front of him with a single punch to spurt blood from his mouth and nose.

The creatures sitting on the giant elephants were shouting at the beasts in an unknown language. It seems to be a whole team, but this time. At the back of the line were many more soldiers with bronze blades. These soldiers were dressed in rattan armor and held various bronze blades in their hands. Mostly with spears, occasionally a few guys riding short, long-haired horses, and the rest are all infantry.

Yun Yue could see clearly from the corner tower, and the scout came to report a few days ago. It is said that the rebels in the forest seem to have come in a large group, because there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards to guard them, and the scouts do not dare to approach too closely. Today, I can see that the rebel reinforcements have arrived. Even if you don't attack yourself, I'm afraid the rebels will attack tomorrow.

The two armies were in position relative to a thousand paces apart, and Yun Yue's side was still standing in front of the crossbowmen. Behind them are the halberders with spears, and then behind them are the shield-bearers with shields and blades. However, in the array of crossbowmen in the front row, there were more than a dozen Yun family's three-bow bed crossbows.

Seeing that the other party's beast tamers were forming a team, it seemed that they were charging the rhinoceros in front of them again. The number of rhinoceros has increased by more than a dozen, and it seems that not only have reinforcements come these days, but even the number of these animals has been replenished.

"Order the three-bow bed crossbow, fire!" The distance between the two sides is a thousand paces, which is the maximum range of the three-bow bed crossbow. Crossbow arrows can fly up to a thousand steps, but they are also the end of a strong crossbow, without the slightest lethality.

But this time was different, Yun Yue didn't plan to use crossbow arrows to kill and injure those fierce beasts at all. The thick javelin was topped with a bamboo tube, and a fuse was exposed. Hearing Yun Yue's launch order, a soldier lit the fuse. Then the hammer struck the bracket of the three-bow bed crossbow, "Woo......! "The javelin-like bolt flew off with Mars.

"Boom......! Boom! The crossbow bolt stuck dozens of paces in front of the beasts, and then exploded. The beasts that were being formed suddenly seemed to have blown up the camp. One by one, the manes stood, and turned and ran away like crazy.

Ao Canghai's eyes widened to see this extremely spectacular scene, the tiger and the bear running together, followed by a pack of wolves. As for the rhinoceros, they have already become the vanguard of madness. A few wolves who didn't have time to dodge were directly picked up by the sharp rhinoceros horns and flew up.

There was a "whoosh" sound in the trees, and monkeys were scurrying everywhere. Occasionally, they would fall off a tree, and they would be trampled to death by one or two elephants on the run.

The worst thing is the Shu reinforcements who are hiding behind the beasts and preparing to take advantage. Before the whole team was finished, I saw the beast in front of me rushing towards me like crazy. Where is the running animal with such a good temper, no matter how much the tamer yells, it will not work. Especially the rhinoceros that rushed to the front, frantically trampling on these Shu warriors wearing rattan armor.

The first few people were trampled into pictures by the surging beasts, and the officer-like guy who took the lead was slapped to the ground by a bear as soon as he shot an arrow. Then there was a huge tiger with its paws on its face, followed by a giant ape, a rhinoceros, and an elephant. By the time the beasts had run away, there was only a slightly intact piece of armor left on the ground.

The astonished Ao Canghai could stuff six eggs in his mouth, not only all of his Qin troops were like this. The black smoke that rose from the explosion of those bamboos has not yet dissipated, and the tens of thousands of troops who rescued Shu have suffered heavy losses.

A guy with a golden crown was leaning against a tree, and now he wanted to be a bird, or even a monkey. A leopard covered in black spots had just borrowed strength from him, and its sharp claws scratched at the sturdy rattan armor with several deep claw marks. The guards beside him, the bronze sword in his hand never stopped. They slashed with all their might, but the harder they slashed, the fewer they became.

One of the guards was accidentally kissed by the tiger, and half of his face was gnawed to bloody flesh. But the bronze sword in his hand still pierced the tiger's belly, and a bear rushed towards the master. The guards pounced, even crazier than a mad bear. A man and a bear were bitten together, and the people next to them were covered with dirt and couldn't even tell which one was a human and which was a bear.

The guards were dying, but the master was still wounded. A monkey that is running away in a hurry accidentally falls from a tree, and the helpless monkey's paws scratch everywhere. The unlucky golden-crowned man had an eyeball plucked out by the monkey's paw.

Screams "Whoa......! The golden-crowned man fell into madness as he was tormented by severe pain. Running with his hands over his eyes, he unfortunately met an elephant. When the pillar-like elephant legs lifted from him, this noble man who did not know his identity no longer had a good bone.

The power of the primordial wild is immense, and every beast is running for survival. Everything that stands in their way is an enemy, and they don't care if the guys behind them are their own people or enemies. When the beast broke through the defense line of the Shu people, Yun Yue waved the whip in his hand.

"Captain Zuo, the time has come for revenge. No pawns! Kill! "The previous fiasco made Yun Yue very angry, and this army that came all the way was just a punching bag for the grief and anger of the Qin army to vent their anger.

These Shu people never dreamed that they were traveling thousands of miles. After two months of difficult marching, the day after arriving in Jiangzhou, it was devastated. The soldiers threw away their weapons and looked for any place to hide.

The back of a boulder was crowded with people, and the people behind were desperately squeezing inside. The people inside were so squeezed that they couldn't breathe, so they pushed out desperately. Those who pushed out were kicked away by the elephants, and the rest of the people squeezed in harder. Didn't care about the terrible howls of the people inside!

At this time, human nature shows its most despicable side, and all those who have a fearless and brave spirit are torn to pieces by the beast.

As soon as the beast army passed, the frightened Shu people were frantically attacked by the Yiqu cavalry.

The previous fierce beast attacked, and the Yiqu cavalry suffered heavy casualties. This time, even if Yun Yue didn't give the order to kill them all, they would do it.

Enemies at a distance shoot with arrows, and when they get close, they kill with swords. The extremely flexible rattan armor is simply not worth mentioning when meeting in the cavalry. The sharp bronze sword easily split the rattan armor, and the Shu people screamed and were cut into two ends. The lower half of the body is no longer moving, and the upper body is still rolling.

This time the Shu people were really defeated, and the captain of the left military led people to cover up for a while. The woods were full of corpses left by the Shu people, and the scene was very terrifying.

Hengya looked at everything in front of him in surprise, judging from the scale, the Shu army numbered tens of thousands of people. If it is a real battlefield match, I am afraid that the Qin army will have a lot of casualties. But after the impact of many fierce beasts, plus the subsequent cover-up of the Qin army. Tens of thousands of troops died overnight! What the hell is that kind of thing that can make a loud noise and emit black smoke? Perpetual Tooth keenly felt that this thing would play a decisive role in the war in the future.

Unlike Permanent Teeth, Li Xin is more willing to devote himself to the frenzied pursuit. The Yiqu cavalry was very strong, and there was not much left for them. But for the sake of military merit, these infantry and the unsung out. The jungle was not suitable for cavalry movements, and many foot soldiers on foot actually rushed to the front of the cavalry and pursued the Shu people in a rancid manner.

Despite the brilliant results, Yun Yue was still not satisfied. Gunpowder, which is infinitely powerful in the eyes of others, is nothing more than a large firecracker in Yun Yue's eyes. The sound was loud and the black smoke was thick. The power is very small, and the power of this thing's explosion can blow up a ceramic jar. But it definitely couldn't blow up the cast iron shell, and Yun Yue really wanted to get the grenade. Now it seems that there is still a long way to go.

I hope that Xu Fu, a chemical expert, can develop a real fried product. For nitrate. Sour glycerin, Nobel was a dead man back then. Yun Yue boasted that she didn't have such a sacrificial spirit, so she had to ask Mr. Xu Fu to do it for her. Anyway, this guy's research direction is also chemistry, rather than refining heavy metal synthetic drugs (elixirs) that those ghosts dare not eat. It is better to invent explosives and make your own contribution to human civilization.

"Yun Hou is really a pedantic celestial, what Xu Fu has studied with more than ten years of painstaking efforts, after Yun Hou has changed slightly, it actually has such power. It's so convincing! Xu Fu saw the power of gunpowder, and his fists clenched tightly. Because of the excessive force, the fingers even clenched a little white.

"Mr. Xu Fu praised it falsely, in fact, this thing is still very rudimentary. The thing called explosives that Yun Yue mentioned to her husband last time is ten times and a hundred times stronger than this thing. Among them, the compatibility is ever-changing, Yun Yue is riddled with mundane things, and he can only rely on Mr. to discover this first weapon in the past.

If there is a need to bomb, there is no need for Yugong to move mountains. Building the Shu Road is not as difficult as in the past, even if it is a landslide and a ground crack, it can be expected. Of course, if that thing is used in warfare. It will also poison hundreds of millions of living beings, and everything in this world is a double-edged sword. Just look at whose hand the sword goes! ”

"Hahaha! My Yin and Yang family advocates that people will win the sky, if there is really one day people can master the ability to open mountains and crack stones. It is the first step for man to overcome nature, and there is nothing in the world that cannot be used by man. ”

Donghuang Taiyi laughed and told Yun Yue the doctrine of the famous Yin and Yang family, which really surprised Yun Yue. When I first came into contact with the Yin and Yang family, I thought that they were of the same origin as the Taoists, and they paid attention to purity and inaction. I didn't expect the doctrine of these guys to be so radical. However, it suited Yun Yue's appetite. (To be continued.) )
