Chapter 279: Destroying the withered and decaying
The iron ore in the forest was busy mining, and the seaside, with the arrival of reinforcements and building materials, began to be tense and busy.
The previous sixty soldiers were replaced by the later ones, and these troops, who had been on the road for a long time, only had been repaired for a day here, and began to move.
Hundreds of lightly armored soldiers lined up in a neat line, murderously marching towards the pterodactyl's lair.
Dozens of repeaters were dragged by the giant deer and followed, apparently armed to the teeth.
As they approached the cliffs, the officer who led the team immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
"All on alert, watch out for the air." Shi Gang shouted loudly.
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately dispersed, unloaded the bed crossbow, pushed it to the front of the formation to adjust the angle, and the thick crossbow arrows flashed and aimed at the sky.
"Qian Mu, take your people to the front to explore the way, and try to lure those beasts over." Shi Gang commanded.
Wu Chang Qian Mu bowed down to receive the order, and with ten rather strong soldiers, he cautiously approached the edge of the cliff.
Lying on the edge of the cliff, Qian Mu poked his head out and looked down, and saw that between the cliffs, dense nests were built, and in some of them, those huge pterosaurs were lying in the middle of them.
On the beach below, dozens of pterosaurs stopped to rest, and in the distance, on the sea, more than a dozen pterosaurs were circling.
"Go pick up some rocks." Qian Mu said to the soldier beside him.
The soldier quietly stepped back, and after a while, he picked up a few fist-sized stones.
Qian Mu took the stone and said, "I'll use these stones to lure those beasts over in a while, and when they fly over, we'll run to the team, remember?" ”
The soldiers nodded, staring nervously at the pterosaur below.
Qian Mu took a deep breath and threw the stone towards the place where the pterosaurs gathered below.
The stone fell to the ground and suddenly these pterosaurs jumped, but these guys with low intelligence didn't realize that this was a human trick.
Seeing this, Qian Mu cursed secretly, threw another stone downward, and began to howl exaggeratedly.
This time, the human provocation finally caught the attention of the pterosaurs.
The group of pterosaurs looked up at the humans who were dancing their claws on the top of the cliff, and suddenly they quacked, and they were enraged, flapping their huge wings and soaring into the sky, hovering in the sky for a while, thinking that these prey that dared to provoke them swooped down.
"Run!"
After Qian Mu yelled, ten soldiers ran wildly, and after being bitten by this big guy, they could basically see the gods.
Shi Gang saw that they had successfully lured the pterodactyl over, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said loudly: "All ready!" ”
"Whoa!"
After the grinding of armor, more than 200 crossbowmen missed their sharp arrows and aimed them at the flying pterodactyl.
Shi Gang's fingers subconsciously tapped the hilt of the sword, judging the distance of the pterosaur.
When Qian Mu and the others retreated into the military formation, Shi Gang shouted loudly: "Release! ”
"Whoosh!"
The whistling crossbow arrows were mixed with the rain of arrows in the sky, sealing all the directions in which the pterosaurs dodged, and under this dense rain of arrows, the pterodactyls that came to pursue were instantly shot into a sieve.
The powerful bed crossbow shot directly through their bodies, and the sky rained blood, and the body of the pterosaur fell from the sky and smashed against the raised rock, making a crunch sound of bones breaking.
Seeing that a wave of attacks would wipe out these pterosaurs, Shi Gang smiled uncontrollably: "It's really too weak!" ”
"Qian Mu, go and see how many of these things are down there!" Shi Gang commanded?
Qian Mu bowed to the promise, trotted all the way to the edge of the cliff, glanced down, and then returned to report: "Back to the general, there are about seven or eight pterosaurs left below." ”
Shi Gang nodded and said, "The crossbowman stepped forward, shoot the rest of them, take the eggs and we will return, today we will taste the taste of this flying dinosaur." ”
Hearing this, the soldiers applauded, licked their lips, and stood on the edge of the cliff with bows and crossbows, and after Shi Gang's order, hundreds of crossbow arrows were shot out at the same time, and under the sudden attack, this group of pterosaurs were all shot without even having a chance to escape.
Shi Gang nodded satisfied with the effect of this attack and said, "Prepare the rope and go down to clear here." ”
The soldiers had already done this sweeping work with great skill, and as soon as Shi finished speaking, several soldiers with thick ropes came out and fixed these ropes firmly on the stones.
When dozens of ants descended from the cliff, the soldiers who operated the bed crossbow adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow, and the pterodactyls flying over the sea had already sensed the attack on the nest and were flying towards this direction quickly.
"If you dare to come, it's just looking for death!" Shi Gang sneered uncontrollably.
When these pterosaurs entered the range, Shi Gang immediately ordered to attack, although the shooting accuracy of the bed crossbow was not good, but dozens of bed crossbows were fired at the same time, such a dense crossbow arrow, completely made up for this shortcoming of the bed crossbow.
After a round of attacks, only five or six of the dozen pterosaurs survived, and they turned around and quickly moved away from here.
Weapons have made human beings rise from the status of prey to the top predators in nature, becoming the natural enemies of all beasts, and under Wang Lang's encouragement, the people of Xia Kingdom are in an inexplicable state of excitement about hunting wild beasts.
After eliminating all the threats, the loot soldiers quickly ransacked the nests and brought up a large number of pterosaur eggs.
The arrows shot were also pulled from the carcass of the pterosaur by the soldiers, and some of them who did not know where to fly had to give up the search.
At dusk, the departing party returned to the harbor laden with booty.
After Mu Feng learned the news, he immediately put down the work at hand, hurriedly found Shi Gang, asked him to take care of these pterosaur eggs, and wrote a letter to report the victory, and sent several heralds to return to Yancheng overnight.
As the high-level of Xia Kingdom, Mu Feng clearly knows that there is a dinosaur civilization that threatens the security of his country at all times, and he is also very clear about the role of these pterosaurs in the future.
Although he didn't know what the situation was outside, and whether there were stronger human countries or tribes, he firmly believed that only the Xia Kingdom was the hope of mankind, and if the national strength was not enhanced, it would mean that the human race had a glimmer of vitality.
Late at night, piles of bonfires were lit on the seaside, and everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, blowing the sea breeze to enjoy the pterodactyl meat, and had a good time.
