Chapter 570: Monster Attack in Advance
Soon, the sweet fruit was fully ripe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the edge of the Black Forest, more and more monkeys are coming.
Just in case, Wang Hao transferred 200 rocket launchers and supporting arrow boxes from Huacheng New Village.
After two months of hard work last year, the carpenter finally learned the skill of making molds and how to quickly make rocket cars and arrow boxes of uniform proportions.
Therefore, now these arrow boxes brought by Wang Hao are common to all rocket vehicles.
After a cart of rockets is released, it only takes about a minute to cool down the rocket car, and then replace the arrow box, and it can be re-launched.
This kind of launch speed, in the era of cold weapons, is simply a terrifying speed.
Isn't it terrifying that a person can fire 400 bows and arrows in the same direction and in the same area in one minute?
Between the Black Forest and the sweet fruit forest, there is a kilometre-long blank space.
In this area, there are no big trees for the monkeys to use as shelter, if they really dare to rush to the sweet orchard in Huacheng, then Wang Hao will definitely use a rocket car to teach them to be monkeys.
Although the wild people are not capable of very delicate work, they can still do things like picking sweet fruits.
With 200 rocket launchers and 400 Black Armor troops, it is still feasible to defend the two-mile road intersection between the Black Forest and the Ten Mile Sweet Fruit Forest.
After the black-armored soldiers set up their positions, the savages carried bamboo baskets and long sickles into the garden and began to pick sweet fruits.
The long sickle is actually an ordinary scythe with a bamboo pole several meters long tied to the back.
Although the sweet fruit tree is not tall, there are some places where it is not within the reach of human size.
The branches of the sweet fruit tree are relatively brittle, and climbing the tree to pick is not only inefficient, but also easy to hurt the sweet fruit tree, so this is equipped with this long sickle.
At the top of the scythe, a soft bag was tied.
In Hwaseong, cloth and silk are still more precious than animal skins because of their scarcity.
So the bag in front of the sickle was sewn from animal skin.
The scythe cuts the sweet fruit, and the leather bag is padded with soft thatch to cut the sweet fruit, so that there is no need to worry about the sweet fruit being broken.
As the saying goes, there is great strength in numbers, and under the work of the savages, baskets of sweet fruits were transported into Hwaseong.
The monkeys in the Black Forest, seeing this situation, scratched their ears and cheeks in a hurry.
Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore, and I don't know who took the lead, and the monkeys rushed out in a swarm.
Tens of thousands of hairy monkeys rushed out of the Black Forest in a dense manner, and then rushed towards the sweet fruit forest with both hands and feet.
Wang Hao shouted, 'Launch!' ’。
The rocket's controller reversed the direction of the rocket's attack at the angle of the flag, and then ignited the fuse.
Unlike the New Year's banquet when firecrackers were launched with rockets, this rocket's arrow shaft was not tied to the cumbersome firecrackers. In addition, the arrows have been replaced with metal spiral arrows.
The direction of the tail of the arrow, the feather at the end of the shaft of the arrow, cleverly staggered the direction of the high-temperature spray of gunpowder.
Even those feathers that have not been avoided and soaked in the fireproof gum pool can temporarily withstand the high temperature erosion of gunpowder.
Two hundred carts of rockets, one cart of 400 arrow shafts, under Wang Hao's order, burst out in an instant.
The smoke from the burning of gunpowder formed a 'sea of fog' outside the sweet orchard.
Wang Hao, who was in the middle of the sea of fog, naturally couldn't see the damage caused by the rocket, but listening to the piercing monkey cry on the opposite side, coupled with the density of the monkey group, Wang Hao estimated that the damage should be very considerable.
The nose and mouth of the rocket shooters were already prepared to be surrounded by wet towels, and after one round of shooting, without command, they skillfully began to change the arrow box, waiting for the next round of shooting.
The black-armored soldiers rode on the body of the giant clawed dragon, and the black swords were all unsheathed, waiting in a row for the arrival of the monkeys.
It's just that what puzzled them was that the sound of the monkeys, after the rockets were fired, seemed to be getting farther and farther away after a chaotic roar.
When the smoke was blown away by the wind, everyone found that the monkeys had left hundreds of monkey corpses and nearly a thousand clawed monkeys nailed to the ground and had not yet died.
The monkeys' massive charge this time ended because of a salvo of rockets.
The black-armored soldiers stepped forward one after another, mending the clawed monkeys that were nailed to the ground and did not die.
The claws of the clawed monkey clawed at the black armor of the black armor army, but it could not hurt the flesh under the black armor.
The savages excitedly ran to clean up the battlefield.
Because the source of meat in Hwaseong is getting less and less, the last time these wild people ate meat was on the day of the Chinese New Year.
Wang Hao has a natural rejection of monkeys, which are near-human creatures, and when the food is sufficient, not only will he not eat it, but even the clansmen will not let them eat it.
Therefore, these monkey corpses are cheaper than these wild people.
Because of the appearance of the rocket, the monkeys in the Black Forest, in the next few days, did not dare to go out of the Black Forest again, and hid in the trees at the edge of the Black Forest, watching the wild people of Hwaseong harvest the sweet fruits and transport them to Hwaseong.
It's just that what makes Wang Hao strange is that I don't know why, the sweet fruits are almost finished, and these monkeys are still unwilling to disperse, and they are still guarding the edge of the Black Forest.
Moreover, what made Wang Hao even more uneasy was that the number of monkeys was increasing, and now it was so large that it was impossible to count at all.
This abnormal behavior made Wang Hao have to be cautious.
The craftsmen of Hwaseong were temporarily put on vacation by Wang Hao.
After the sweet fruit was picked, 400 black armor troops and 500 chengguan troops entered Huacheng.
Although the current wall of Hwaseong is only seven meters high, it is also an insurmountable curse for ordinary beasts.
Of course, there are some of these ordinary beasts who can ignore this damnation.
In addition to the birds, for the current Hwaseong, the creature that can be ignored the most should belong to the monkey.
The construction of Hwaseong was divided into steps.
So far, the outer walls have not been filled with cement, although they have been stacked more than seven meters high.
Everywhere, there are potholes in the brick joints. Although there are no windows such as arrow holes at a height of seven meters, it is still easy for the monkeys to climb up if they want to attack the castle.
Considering the possible siege of the monkey group, Wang Hao left 10,000 savages as logistics personnel, and considering the defense of the city wall, Wang Hao even transferred two hundred barrels of gasoline, three hundred tons of coal and various resources to defend the city.
On the third day after the sweet fruit was harvested, what Wang Hao was worried about really happened.
A giant clawed monkey king stepped out of the Black Forest.
The seven-meter-tall Sharp-clawed Monkey King is almost the same height as the walls of Hwaseong.
It's just that after it came out, it didn't directly lead the monkeys to attack Huacheng, but found a giant tree outside the Black Forest that Wang Hao had left behind and didn't cut down to live.
In the face of the Monkey King, a threatening creature, Wang Hao was not accustomed to it, and when it was night, ten black-armored soldiers with ballistas touched it while it was dark.
However, the number of monkeys was too much, and before they could get close, the Black Armor Army was discovered by the Monkey King.
After hearing the warning of the monkeys, the Sharp-clawed Monkey King was also really cautious, and did not let these seemingly weak humans approach, but after roaring, he directly retreated into the Black Forest.
In a hurry, the Blackarmor military ballista fired a giant ballista bolt.
It's just that the ballista's hit rate for moving creatures is not high, and coupled with the surrounding dark environment, it is naturally impossible to hit the Monkey King. After shooting through the two giant trees, the bolt disappeared into the night.
When the next morning, Wang Hao was on the city wall and saw the Monkey King holding the crossbow arrow shot out last night, and he was observing the hole in front of the giant tree that was shot through.
I saw someone coming out from above the city wall.
The Monkey King yelled at Hwaseong and returned to the Black Forest with the monkeys.
Fortunately, the night sneak attack not only failed to kill the monkey king who came first, but allowed it to see the power of the ballista in advance.
High-level creatures are all intelligent, and since the ballista has been seen by them, it may not be so easy to surprise them with the ballista next time.
