Chapter 342: An Army of Beasts
Although the archers in Song Qi's camp were far away from the black panther, after seeing the black panther, they could not suppress the fear in their hearts, and an instinctive fear made them tremble involuntarily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They pointed their bows and arrows in front of them, their eyes watching the panther's every move in horror. Now that he heard Song Qi's order, regardless of whether the panther was within the range of the bow and arrows, he began to release the arrows in his hand together.
When he landed, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, whistling in the air, like a torrential rain, pouring away towards the opposite side of the array.
However, the panther did not catch up and was far out of range.
All the arrows were shot at the ground in the middle of the formation, and in the middle of the formation, a barrier of arrows made of feathered arrows immediately appeared. This barrier was at least two hundred steps away from the Xuanlan Dao people.
"Haha, Song Qi, it seems that you are just a coward!" The Xuandeng Daoist laughed loudly, laughing so hard that his red beard trembled.
Song Qi didn't care about his face at this time, and after returning to the main formation, he waved his hand left and right. The cavalry, shieldmen, and archers all quickly dispersed to the sides, completely exposing the ballista. He himself quickly disappeared behind the Ballista Army.
In the face of this kind of madman who rides a black panther, what can he say about politeness and face.
"Song Qi, these things of yours are useful to others, but I'm afraid they won't be of any use to Poor Dao!" The Xuandeng Daoist said loudly, although he was five or six hundred paces away, his words still reached Song Qi's ears.
Song Qi was about to order the ballista soldiers to let go, when he suddenly saw the thousands of soldiers behind the Xuandeng Daoist quickly retreat in the direction of the city, and only after retreating a mile did he stop his footsteps and look at this side from a distance
There was only one person left on the battlefield, and from a distance, it looked like a flame that was burning more and more.
The Xuandeng Daoist folded his hands and faced the sky on his back, as if he was chanting some incantation. He sat down with the panther pressed its front legs to the ground, as if ready to pounce forward, its fur standing outward, making it look like it had doubled in size. Its eyes turned from green to red, and became redder, as if blood was pouring into its eyes.
Suddenly, the panther opened its bloody mouth and let out a roar.
"Roar~" "Roar~" From behind the Xuandeng Daoist, there were roars one after another. These roars converge to shake the heavens and the earth, and take the soul of people.
I saw that the soldiers behind the Xuandeng Dao people trembled and opened hundreds of cages, and hundreds of fierce beasts roared and rushed out of the cages, baring their teeth and claws and rushing towards the position violently.
When the war horses in Song Qi's array saw so many fierce beasts rushing towards them, and when they heard the roar of the fierce beasts, they all trembled with fright, and they all fell backwards together. All the soldiers were frightened, their faces turned pale, and their legs and feet trembled. The beasts were still about a mile away, though.
"Haha!" The Xuandeng Daoist laughed loudly, and then recited a spell aloud, pointed the long whip in his hand at Song Qi, and said loudly: "The beasts are mobilized, bite Song Qijun to death!" ”
As if they had understood the orders of the Xuandeng Dao people, hundreds of fierce beasts jumped and galloped, like a group of brave warriors rushing towards Song Qi's array. When the landing position was flying, the sand and rocks were flying, and the wind was cloudy, which made people shudder.
Song Qi's face changed greatly, his heart beat like a drum, and he hurriedly ordered: "Throw stones!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Song Qi gave an order, and the flying stones and crossbow arrows that covered the sky hit the opponent's position together.
The flying stones landed one after another at a depth of 500 paces, smashing countless large craters and stirring up dust all over the sky.
Those fierce beasts, with sharp bodies and fast speeds, were not afraid of the blows of flying stones at all, jumping through the gaps in the stone rain, and as soon as they showed their eyes, one after another fierce beasts rushed out of the heavy dust and came to the side of the Xuandeng Dao people.
He was numb, and hundreds of flying stones didn't seem to even smash the hair of a fierce beast!
And more than 300 crossbow arrows were completely empty.
The position of the Xuandeng Daoist was just outside the range of the crossbow arrows, and the nearest flying stone passed over his head and hit him dozens of paces behind him. It can be said that he is in the blind spot of the cross-strike of the ballista and the stone-throwing vehicle, the crossbow arrow landed more than a dozen steps in front of him, and the flying stone fell a dozen steps behind him. Alas, don't say it, this bull-nosed Taoist really knows how to choose a place.
The Xuandeng Daoist glanced at Song Qi contemptuously, and recited a spell aloud.
Those hideous and terrifying beasts did not stop at all, crossed the position of the Xuandeng Dao people, and continued to fly towards Song Qi's position.
Song Qi saw clearly, those fierce beasts had tigers, lions, leopards, black panthers, and wolves of various coat colors, mainly gray wolves. The eyes of those fierce beasts flashed with bloodthirsty and ferocious red light, and they jumped and rushed forward together, like a gust of wind and waves on the sea, rolling towards Song Qi's position.
"Shoot me the arrows!" Song Qi roared at the trembling ballista soldiers, "Stop these beasts for me!" ”
"Whoosh! Whoosh~Whoosh~" Hundreds of crossbow arrows erupted from the ballista almost simultaneously, shooting at the oncoming beast.
The beast can easily dodge the blows of the flying stones, because the flying stones fall from the sky, as long as they avoid the point where the flying stones land.
And the crossbow arrow is a linear strike, and the beast must dodge a line to avoid the shot of the crossbow arrow, which is not so easy. In addition, the beast is galloping at high speed in the direction of the crossbow arrow, so it is relatively easy to hit the arrow
When he landed, a lion, a tiger, and several wolves fell to the ground with arrows. None of the leopards were shot because they were lighter in body than ligers and faster than wolves.
Lion blood, tiger blood, wolf blood. A gray wolf was pierced through the body by a long arrow, and its body was carried backwards into the air by the long arrow, and it fell to the ground.
Arrows can pierce the body of a wolf, but not a tiger or a lion. One of the tigers let out a roar after being hit by an arrow, and continued to run forward with teeth and claws, and after running for a dozen steps, he fell to the ground and died.
The other beasts did not feel the slightest fear of their companion's arrows being killed, and they still roared forward as they treated the crossbow arrows and death as nothing. Obviously, the souls of these beasts were controlled by the spells of the Xuanlan Dao people, and they turned into a group of killing machines that were not afraid of death.
Such a momentum frightened the soldiers in Song Qi's formation into trembling, trembling, and even pressing the wrong button for the crossbow arrow.
In the first round of shooting, the three hundred crossbow arrows only killed a dozen fierce beasts, while the remaining fierce beasts rushed forward even more angrily, and there were only four hundred steps left from Song Qi's position. Song Qi hurriedly ordered: "Lower the angle of the ballista and release the arrows close to the ground!" ”
"Yes!" The ballista man agreed, and hurriedly adjusted the angle of the crossbow arrow. When the firing angle is lowered, the range decreases, but the accuracy and lethality of the shot are greatly improved. Anyway, the beast has already entered a distance of three or four hundred steps, and there is no problem with the range, the key is accuracy and lethality.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" is another round of heavy shooting.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows poured down like a curtain of rain on the attacking beasts... (To be continued.) )
