Chapter 629: Monster Siege (19)

Sensing the threat from above, the hammerheads raised their heads, closed their nostrils and mouths, and used their massive heads to block the rain of arrows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These guys who feed on the hard exoskeleton of their heads are different, and when their huge heads are raised, their bodies are blocked from the wind.

A dense rain of arrows shot at their heads, and then they were bounced away.

Only a few lucky enough to shoot the shaft of an arrow into the hammerhead dragon's eye will be able to kill it.

After a round of arrow rain went down, Wang Hao didn't know where he was out of sight, but only where Wang Hao could see, there were less than a hundred hammerhead dragons that died.

Then, under the cover of the hammerhead, the rest of the beasts burrowed into their crotches or beside them, and with the cover of its huge head, continued to move forward, and then burrowed headlong into a moat in front of them.

Even if some of them were unlucky enough to be shot by a rocket on the way, there were hammerheads who pushed their corpses into the moat.

Just as the hammerhead crossed the fourth moat, the rockets fired two more shots in a row.

It's just that, in the face of the huge and hard head of the hammerhead dragon, the rocket can only rely on that magical chance if he wants to shoot it.

Seeing that the rockets had no choice but to do anything about the hammerhead, the warriors stopped this senseless waste of arrows.

Wang Hao knocked on the edge of the city wall and calculated that the distance where the hammerhead dragon was now was almost the farthest attack distance of the rocket.

If you want to deal damage to the hammerhead, you can only avoid the hammerhead by shooting the rocket backward when the hammerhead is closer, and then let the rocket free fall at a high altitude, and use gravity to kill the hammerhead from above.

Just as Wang Hao was thinking, the hammerhead dragon in front of him suddenly fell more than a dozen in a row.

Wang Hao raised the binoculars and saw that all of these hammerhead dragons were shot in the eyes and the arrows were poured into their heads and died.

Looking back, Wang Hao really saw Qian Tu pulling a bow and shooting arrows.

With every arrow he misses, a hammerhead dragon falls.

When the rest of the clansmen saw Qian Tu's method of killing the hammerhead dragon, they all followed suit and aimed at the hammerhead dragon with bows and arrows.

It's a pity that there are too few people with excellent archery skills like Qian Tu in Hwaseong.

Ordinary people want to shoot hammerhead dragon in the eye at such a limit distance, it is undoubtedly better than ascending to the sky.

After a few rounds of arrow raindown, the damage to the hammerhead dragon was not as good as that of a randomly fired rocket.

Seeing that Qian Tu shot dozens of arrows in a row, and then the speed of the arrows slowed down, Wang Hao knew that Qian Tu's physical strength was not good.

After all, the bow and arrow used by Qian Tu is a black iron reinforced bow, and although it is an ordinary arrow, it must be drawn into at least half a bow to shoot the arrow.

If you change to an ordinary bow and arrow, Qian Tu can shoot for a day without rest.

But now, he was tired from shooting dozens of arrows.

Just as Qian Tu pulled the bow away again, a hand reached out from the side and stopped him.

When Qian Tu saw it, he found that it was Wang Hao, so he hurriedly relaxed the bowstring, for fear of hurting Wang Hao.

"No matter how strong a single person's strength is, it is impossible to play any role in the war, your archery skills need to be left to the time when you are most needed, now, these hammerhead dragons are still left to the war and the warriors to solve!" Wang Hao said to Qian Tu.

Although Qian Tu didn't understand what Wang Hao meant, and didn't know when he was needed the most, he still stopped his plan to shoot the hammerhead dragon.

After all, on a thousand-kilometer-long front, all those who walked in front were hammerheads.

Even if he was just an arrow and a hammerhead dragon, it would be impossible for him to stop the hammerhead dragon's advance even if he was exhausted today.

Just as Wang Hao was speaking, the trebuchet on the city wall was ready.

After all this period of operation, the archers next to the trebuchets had calculated the speed and direction of the herd of elephants that had gathered together and used their voices to help the Sharp-clawed Monkey King deliver commands.

At the same time, the angle of the trebuchet and the number of turns of the winch are calculated.

A bell rang, and the trebuchets on the ramparts released their reels at the same moment, and all the trebuchets on their nets cut a circular curve in the air, and then fired the powder kegs whose leads had been ignited in the nets.

To tell the truth, if Hwaseong is given a few more years to develop, there will be no shortage of this kind of powder keg with great lethality in the city.

However, so far, no nitrate ore has been found in Hwaseong, and the nitrate used to make gunpowder has always been extracted from feces and dead fish and rotten meat.

Fortunately, there were two or three hundred thousand people in Hwaseong, and the manure provided was barely enough to supply the processing of gunpowder.

However, the gunpowder produced is basically used to process rockets, and only a small part is used to make powder kegs.

Otherwise, the current Hwaseong would have already started the bombardment mode with a powder keg.

Powder kegs flew through the air.

In the eyes of the herd, they crossed the head of the hammerhead and the head of the group behind the hammerhead.

Then, in full view of everyone, he fell into the herd of giant elephants.

"Ang~~~"

Although the giant elephants had never seen the explosion of the powder keg yesterday, at this moment, they still had a premonition of the approaching danger, so they all raised their heads and roared.

Soon, however, their howls were interrupted.

"Boom~~~"

All the powder kegs exploded almost at the same time.

The flames of the explosion lit up the dark clouds in the sky, and the shock wave swept the muddy water off the ground.

At the same time, all the giant elephants within the explosion range were blown to pieces.

Even the giant elephant, which was a little farther away from the powder keg, was shot by the arrows and pottery shards in the powder keg and bled all over.

However, inferior gunpowder is, after all, inferior gunpowder.

The number of powder kegs is also a hard wound.

At the same time, the huge size and thick flesh of the giant elephant are like a wall, limiting the explosion range of each powder keg to an extremely small place.

In this explosion, less than 300 giant elephants were directly killed and injured, and the total number of casualties was less than 500, and the total number of casualties was only one-tenth of the giant elephant phalanx.

But!

However, what Wang Hao wanted was not to directly kill the giant elephant.

Otherwise, the cluster shooting of the Eight Bull Crossbow may be a better choice.

What Wang Hao wants is a close-range explosion, and the sound generated by it can definitely cause serious damage to the keen hearing system of the giant elephant in the Great Wilderness, at least, all the giant elephants in this giant elephant phalanx can't hear any other sound in their ears except for tinnitus in three or five days.

If they can't receive a sound, they naturally can't convey orders on behalf of the Sharp-clawed Monkey King.

Without a unified command, in the face of the onslaught of a group of stragglers, the defense of Hwaseong would be at least ten times easier.

Sure enough, this sneak attack on the giant elephant phalanx had an immediate effect.

Without the constant voice and command of the giant elephant phalanx, the advance of the hammerhead dragon suddenly became chaotic.

Some hammerheads walked faster, exposing both sides, while others walked slowly, revealing flaws in their battle lines against rockets.

And the commanders and centurions naturally did not let go of these flaws, and the rockets turned around one after another and fired cross-fires, specifically attacking the side of the hammerhead.

A round of rockets went down, the effect was remarkable, those misplaced hammerhead dragons could not protect each other, and defensive gaps appeared on the sides, and more or less hit a few to a dozen rockets on their bodies.

The hammerhead dragon is huge, and compared to the wild boar, the lone wolf and other small beasts, their vitality is much stronger.

Although only a few were shot directly after being shot in the side, the panic caused by the Hammerhead Dragon, which was paralyzed on the road and kept screaming, caused more panic than the lethality of the rocket.
