Chapter 525: Meng Yi's brother intercepted the military rations of the Hu Xingluo Empire
What's going on?
Tang San moved his head, no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of a reason.
Beside Tang San, the pretty Xiao Wu looked at his third brother, then faced Dai Mubai and smiled playfully.
"Brother Mubai, wouldn't it be better to send someone to take a look? Maybe something happened on the road, and it wasn't necessarily delayed. ”
Is there a delay?
Dai Mubai sat back on it, thought for a moment, and then raised his head and looked at the soldier who was still kneeling in front of him.
"Go, send someone to see what's going on."
"Yes!"
The soldier replied in solemn response, and then got up, ready to turn and leave.
At this moment, Dai Mubai seemed to remember something again, and stretched out his hand to stop the soldier.
"Wait."
"What else does the boss have to say?"
The soldier stooped and stood, respectful.
Dai Mubai tapped his fingers on the table and waved his hand.
"Arrange a few more people, ride a fast horse, go to City B first, City B has no problem going to City C, City C can't go to City Ding, City Ding City has no problem going to City Wu, go all the way to the south, and see what went wrong."
"Yes!"
The soldier replied solemnly, then turned around and left the tent......
After a while, in the Star Luo Empire military camp, several soldiers took off their armor, wore sergeant cloth clothes, and rode out of the gate of the Star Luo Empire military camp on horseback.
Their horses were running fast, and the whips in their hands were pumping hard on their buttocks......
A day and a half later, on the morning of the third day, in the territory of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, north of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress.
Several soldiers on fast horses were running on the small road north of the Häagen-Dazs Pass fortress.
None of them wore armor on their bodies, and they all wore the standard cloth clothes of the Star Luo Empire.
It was a few soldiers sent out by Dai Mubai to inquire about the news!
Among the soldiers, one of the younger soldiers complained.
"It's really annoying to run so far, thirsty and tired."
As he spoke, the soldier tugged at his collar, a little unbearable.
In front of them, an older soldier stared ahead, not turning his head, cheering on the young soldier.
"Work harder, and soon we'll be at the Häagen-Dazs Pass, and we'll rest in there."
After he finished saying this, several soldiers around him relaxed a little, and their expressions were more soothing.
For the past day and a half, except for sleeping for six or seven minutes at night, they have been on the road non-stop, and even eating food is in a hurry, and after a few simple bites, they hurried on the road.
Along the way, they ran five cities in a row, but without exception, these cities said that it was not their own problem, but that there had been no grain and grass transportation in the rear, and the grain in the city was a temporary reserve of a small number of garrisons, which was only enough for the garrison to eat itself.
No, they had to continue south to find the root of the problem.
What went wrong?
The older soldier frowned in thought.
At this moment, suddenly, a soldier next to him spoke loudly and stretched out his hand to point ahead.
"Look, it seems to be the banner of the Wuhun Empire!"
Well?
The older soldier followed the sound and looked up, only to see in the distance, on the northern wall of the Häagen-Dazs Pass fortress, a flag was hoisting high, and on it, the pattern of a seraphim was vivid.
It's really the banner of the Wuhun Empire!
The older soldier was shocked, and a terrible possibility occurred to his mind.
Don't......!
He tugged on the reins vigorously, did his best to stop the horse, then turned the horse's head and shouted, "Retreat quickly, go back to Wucheng!" ”
Just after he finished shouting, less than two seconds, in the distance, in the direction of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, a few dazzling red lights flew in, and there was a piercing "Woo! Breaking through the air, he flew in front of him and a few soldiers in the blink of an eye.
"Poof!"
Bright red blood soars into the sky, blooming with brilliant flowers that reflect a brilliant red glow in the sun.
The older soldier looked down with difficulty, only to see a large hole in his chest, and blood gushing out of the hole.
Behind him, another soldier had a long, blood-coated javelin stuck in his chest, the head of which had long since been pierced, and only a little bit of the tail could still be seen, which remained on this soldier.
Such a scene also appeared in the next few soldiers.
Several of the soldiers, with their faces full of reluctance, immediately fell from their horses and fell to the ground, only the young soldier who had been lucky enough not to have a javelin in his body.
"Wow!"
The young soldier shouted in fright, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and hurried in the direction of Wucheng to the north.
It's terrible, it's a city defense crossbow, I don't want to die wow!
The young soldier swung his whip with all his might, and beat his horse under the crotch with all his might, causing the horse to neigh in pain.
And after the soldier left, in the direction of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, several soldiers wearing the uniform of the Wuhun Empire stood in front of a big crossbow on the city wall and pouted.
"Cut, missed, ran one."
In front of these soldiers, there was a strange crossbow.
It was a rather large crossbow, with a straight string of one meter eight, and the crossbow arm was repeatedly bent, concave in the middle, and the crossbow arms were bent outward at both ends, and slightly inward at the tip of the crossbow.
It's the same as the Curved Compound Bow and the Divine Arm Crossbow!
Moreover, this giant crossbow is not a single crossbow arm, but a total of three crossbow arms, two of which are bent forward as a whole and placed in the front, and one is bent backward and placed in the back.
Weapon against Title Douluo, three-bow bed crossbow!
A little farther away from the city wall where the three-bow bed crossbow was located, in the watchtower, Meng De sat on a chair and was sipping a cup of green tea.
He grabbed the middle of the earless teacup with his right index finger and thumb, picked it up, blew it lightly in front of him, and took a sip.
Green tea is light and refreshing, with that special coolness when you inhale, which makes you feel refreshed and fuller.
Meng De took two sips and put the teacup down.
He turned his head, and following his gaze, the city walls, separated by a certain distance, were neatly lined up...... A full row of three-bow bed crossbows!
These were all asked by Meng De to Qian Na Wei, and then Qian Na Wei called and asked the Martial Spirit Empire War Department Shangshu to find them from the Heaven Dou City Weapon Storage.
Before the 88mm smoothbore armor-piercing cannon was manufactured, the Wuhun Empire army also installed some three-bow bed crossbows, but with the advent of smoothbore armor-piercing guns soon after, these three-bow bed crossbows were eliminated.
Most of the three-bow bed crossbows were disassembled, and the wood belonging to them was used to assemble the recurve composite bow or the god arm crossbow, only a part of it remained, and a small amount entered the Heaven Dou Museum.
The batch that Mengde now places on the city wall is a part of what has survived.
The reason why the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is not put is that the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is too heavy and cannot be carried down.
On the other hand, the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is also a cannon, with a certain elevation angle, and the smoothbore design cannot shoot down at a depression angle, and it will leave a large dead angle on the city wall and cannot hit the enemy.
In this way, the three-bow bed crossbow is undoubtedly the best choice.
Beneath the city walls, there are several winding trenches, from which only the heads and backs of the soldiers can be seen.
These trenches were all dug quite narrowly, with only about fifty centimeters at the bottom, and some of them were less than that!
In such a trench, one soldier can barely stand, and if two people are together, they will squeeze each other.
This is prepared to evade projectile weapons, the narrower the trench, the lower the probability of projectile weapons being thrown, on the contrary, if the trench is the same as in the drama, digging like a flood channel, wide enough to even put down a car, it will be useless.
In the watchtower of the city wall, Meng De drank tea, got up, went down the watchtower stairs, and walked down the watchtower.
His task has basically been completed, and all that remains is to wait for the Star Luo Empire army to attack the city by itself, while he sits in the city and waits for the rabbit.
As for defending the city, Meng De was not worried at all.
The fortifications that had been built on the north side of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress could not be inserted or splashed with water, even if Tang San and Dai Mubai brought hundreds of thousands of people, Meng De was confident that they could completely block it.
Under the city wall, Meng De came out of the watchtower and came to a small room.
Entering the room, he took off his clothes embroidered with the Seraphim insignia of the Martial Spirit Empire and several gold star insignia, and replaced it with a costume embroidered with a white tiger head.
Star Luo Empire standard military uniform!
Dressed in the costume of the Star Luo Empire, Meng De walked down the street, and after a period of time, he came to the south of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, at the south gate.
On the wall of the south city gate, a banner embroidered with a white tiger's head was hung, just like the chest symbol on which Meng De was wearing clothes at the moment.
Star Luo Empire Banner!
Under the city walls, that is, at the gates, were several soldiers armed with fine-iron spears, facing south.
These soldiers were all soldiers under Meng De, but they were all dressed in the same clothes as Meng De's body.
Star Luo Empire Military Uniform!
Outside the city gates, a group of soldiers escorted a large amount of grain and grass and was preparing to enter the city.
Meng De saw it and waved his hand.
"Stop, just escort the grain and grass here, and then we will be in charge, and you go back."
The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, who were in charge of escorting the grain and grass, were immediately overjoyed.
"Is that so? Thank you so much! ”
As he spoke, the Star Luo Empire soldier who was the leader waved his hand, and directly beckoned the small group of soldiers with him to turn around and walk back to the south.
"Let's go, brothers, go back to drinking."
Although it is easier to escort grain and grass than to the front line, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive hard work, and when it comes to going up the mountain and raining, it will make people very tired, and Meng De can let them stop here, they are naturally very happy.
At the gate of the city, a small group of soldiers from the Star Luo Empire left, and several soldiers under Meng De stepped forward and quickly transported a convoy of grain into the city.
Meng De looked at it, ordered a few soldiers to keep an eye on the movement at all times, and did not show their horses' feet, and then turned around and entered the city.
After a leisurely day in the city, it was evening and dinner time.
Meng De changed into his military uniform of the Martial Spirit Empire and came to the cafeteria.
At this time, there were already many soldiers in the canteen, and everyone was queuing up to get food, in an orderly manner.
