Chapter 121: Mountain-Destroying Crossbow and Killing Bomb

Ma Xintian clenched his fists and took orders, came to a cowhide drum standing on the side, picked up two thick wooden sticks, the wooden sticks were wrapped with red silk, he calmed down, raised his arms, shouted, and slammed the wooden stick in his hand to the heavy drum.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of heavy cowhide drums sounded, like spring thunder, overwhelming all the sounds on the battlefield, and the people in Wanshou Valley were excited when they heard it, and the officers and soldiers were terrified when they heard it.

The drums shook people's popularity, and the people who were carrying the oars and shields suddenly doubled their courage, and their strength exploded, shouting trumpets, and they marched forward with solid steps.

Zubian carried the oar shield, which was already close to the distance of less than forty steps to the Bird Formation, and the heavy shield in front of him was pitted by lead bullets, and the cypress planks on the surface were broken with many holes, and the inner layer of pine wood was also damaged in a few places, although it had not yet reached the point of being shot through, but if the Bird Tong's shooting came a few more rounds, the oar shield might not be able to hold on.

A thousand-shot bird's gun, after all, is not a tickling toy, no matter how strong the shield is, it will be pierced under the concentrated fire, no matter how close the distance is, the shield can no longer guarantee that the person hiding behind will not be injured by the bullet.

"Shield! Shield! Hold this distance! Zubian shouted loudly, and the people around him passed on his words one by one, and all the shields stopped at the same time.

"Where's the Mountain Destroyer? Start shooting! Zu Bian shouted behind him.

The soldiers in white robes were already holding crossbows, standing behind the shields, just waiting for orders, as soon as he roared, the white-robed soldiers raised the mountain-destroying crossbows in their hands at the same time, at a 45-degree throwing angle, one hundred and fifty mountain-destroying crossbows, lined up in a horizontal row, pulled down the handle crossbow machine, 1,500 crossbow arrows, in just a breath, turned into a rain of arrows, and rushed forward all over the sky.

The crossbow is a manual crossbow machine, the power of the crossbow arrow, all rely on the arm to pull the handle to buckle the string, so although the rate of fire is fast, the power is not very strong, the effective range is very close, the distance of forty steps, is already the limit of killing, and it is a projectile, although with the help of a little potential energy, but if you meet an opponent in armor, the effect is not good.

However, the bird commander on the opposite side was only wearing a mandarin duck battle uniform, or a summer cloth coat, not even cotton armor, and a red tasseled felt hat on his head, and the protective effect was similar to nothing, so when the arrow on the head of the pocket fell, it suddenly aroused a panic.

"It's a crossbow! The brute's crossbow bolts are coming! ”

The sharp-eyed ones shouted loudly, and the officers and soldiers looked up, and there was indeed a rain of arrows falling overhead, and the cold light of the arrows was clearly visible, which was a poisonous arrow soaked in feces!

The standard armament of the bird commander is a bird commander, a fire cup, a bullet bag, and a waist knife, but there is no shield, and in the face of arrow attacks, there is no other way than to hide in Tibet to find cover.

It's a pity that the valley mouth here is empty, it's all flat land, where to find cover? In the screams of the bird commanders, thousands of arrows fell, hitting the bodies of many people without armor, blood splashed, screams broke out, and a layer of blood mist rose from the gunsmoke.

The commanders of the first few rows immediately poured a large piece, and the remaining few who were lucky also ran backwards with rolling belts, and the back rows retreated in a panic, and in the panic, no one cared about loading and shooting.

It's important to save your life, so let's avoid this rain of arrows first.

Standing in the first row, the leader of the team Qianzong, two arrows were inserted in the head, the arrows went deep into the skull, only the tail feathers of the arrows trembled slightly in the wind, his eyes were wide open, and his pupils were full of incredible colors, how could it be? How could I die here? Aren't the barbarians the natives who only know how to chop wood?

Seeing Mr. Qian's body fall to the ground in the rain of arrows, the bird commanders who witnessed Shangguan's death were even more frightened, screamed, lost the bird commander, and retreated backwards regardless of it, crowded in the narrow valley mouth clearing, desperately hiding behind their colleagues.

Niu Sicheng was protected by the shields of his own soldiers in the middle, his face was pale and colorless, he watched the front team being shot into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows, dazed and at a loss, except for shouting "Shoot, shoot!" "There is nothing else.

One general was incompetent, and thousands of troops were killed.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the official army, Zu Bian only felt that the bird in front of him stopped shooting, and immediately stood up with the shield on his shoulder, shouting one after another: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Get up for me and hurry forward! Take advantage of this time to get closer, get closer! ”

The stopped shield wall stood up again, hundreds of people shouted the trumpet, gritted their teeth and carried the heavy shield, and with the pace of the ancestors, they accelerated their march, and pressed forward sharply at a speed that was a few points faster than just now.

The white-robed soldiers did not change it, they hung the crossbow arrows back on their waists, held a spear in their left hand, and reached out with a bamboo tube from the cloth bag around them with their right hand, followed by the shield and continued to move forward.

By the confusion of the officers and soldiers, the shield wall approached smoothly, except for a few scattered gunshots, there was no hindrance, and soon, the distance between the two sides was further shortened, and it was close to a distance of twenty paces.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already figured it out, and the crossbow arrows on the opposite side seemed to be only one round just now, and there was no more after shooting, although I don't understand why, but this is a great thing, without the threat of crossbow arrows, Niu Sicheng's team calmed down a little.

"Array, array, gun, gun!"

The subordinates shouted hoarsely and loudly, and they could no longer retreat, and the last people had already been pasted to the valley entrance rocks in the first line of heaven, and then there was a pile of rubble blocking the valley, squeezed into it, and there was no way to live.

The so-called swarm of bees to win a battle, and a swarm of bees to defeat a war, is a true portrayal of the officers and soldiers of this era, the chaotic crowd, if you want to restore the orderly array, it must be the ability that a strong army can have in a hundred battles, Niu Sicheng's team, no matter what, did not reach this height.

The chaotic officers and soldiers barely stood in a row, and the columns were not lined up, and everyone mixed together, raised the fire system in their hands, desperately stuffed the gunpowder and lead, and stirred it up with a desperate bar, and then put it up.

"Boom!"

One of the birds exploded, his face was full of flowers, his blood was all over his body, he fell to the ground and screamed, his eyes turned into two blood holes, and the miserable cry of pain made the other birds' hands tremble.

"Leave him alone! Shoot the and shoot, or everybody will die here! The generals brandished their waist knives and shouted frantically.

At this moment, the shield wall, which had reached a distance of nearly twenty paces, stopped again.

The deafening shouts of "kill the enemy" behind the shield also stopped for a short time, and an eerie silence appeared between the two armies.

In the sparse sound of birds, Niu Sicheng was a little stupid, he couldn't figure out what the gang of barbarians on the other side was going to do.

Wang Huan's people didn't let him think for long, and the next moment, more than a hundred bamboo tubes were thrown out from behind the shield, and the fire rope on the bamboo tube was squeaking, drawing arcs in the air, stepping over a distance of twenty steps, and smashing head-on.

What is this? Big firecrackers?

The general was shocked at first, and after seeing it, they were slightly relieved, not a crossbow arrow, this bamboo tube looks only a foot long, how much gunpowder can it hold? It's just a big deal to scare people.

The bamboo tube crackled and fell in the group of officers and soldiers, and the bird commanders instinctively dodged it, looking strangely at the smoking bamboo tube under their feet.

At this moment, countless explosions comparable to the sound of red-clothed cannons began, the inconspicuous bamboo tubes exploded violently, the shock wave of yellow explosives spread in all directions, and black mushroom clouds rose into the sky, converging into a black cloud in the sky, and iron nails and gravel flew in all directions like lead bullets, penetrating flesh and blood, tearing a body, human limbs, internal organs, and skull blood, bursting in all directions with the explosion.

The team of thousands of bird commanders was like being devoured by a black giant beast, shrouded in black mist, red blood constantly flashed in the black, no one was spared, no one could dodge, as long as it was within the explosion range, all turned into a ball of flesh.
