"What's, what is this?" Lei Chong muttered to himself.

He had seen the group of soldiers with their crossbows approaching the men in black step by step, and the crossbowmen seemed to not care about hand-to-hand combat at all, even though the men in black were rushing towards them, they still kept shooting crossbow arrows.

And, as the bolts ran out, they took off the wooden box from the crossbow machine, then brought a new one from behind them, and began to fire again.

After being shot at many accomplices, the group of men in black finally learned to behave, and knew that the round shield in their hands could not block the power of the crossbow, so they dragged the dead corpse on the ground in front of them to act as a line of defense.

This time, it was Lei Chong who was annoyed and anxious.

Annoyingly, this group of people didn't take the corpses of their comrades seriously at all, and the urgency was that the power of the crossbow was really blocked by the dead corpses.

Moreover, Lei Chong was even more anxious, knowing that the corpse of the man in black was approaching step by step as a shield, but those crossbowmen were like idiots, and they still refused to put down the crossbow in their hands.

In his heart, he slandered these crossbowmen, and Lei Chong was even ready to take the remaining stunned brothers to help and be the meat shield of those crossbowmen, but in the next second, these people were completely stupid.

Seeing that the man in black arrived, the crossbow shooters in the front row dispersed together, and then the crossbowmen with a number of about three hundred came forward.

It's just that these crossbowmen are different from the previous ones, they are in groups of five, three of them hold crossbows, one is in charge of the machine, and the other is responsible for loading.

Moreover, the crossbows in their hands are not the same as those even crossbows.

How to say it, this crossbow is said to be a crossbow, more like a huge cylinder, the cylinder is five feet long, and the cylinder is equipped with no less than twenty thin bamboo pipes, and each bamboo pipe is inserted with crossbow arrows made of pure iron.

Seeing the man in black approaching, the crossbowman in charge of controlling the machine pulled the crossbow machine, and with a bang, something that made Lei Chong stunned happened.

Twenty iron arrows erupted from the bamboo pipe, and the man in black, who was only more than ten steps away, didn't even have a chance to react, and even the corpse used as a shield was shot through, nailing them to the ground.

This situation simply frightened the men in black who followed up.

The smell of sulfur seemed to waft through the air.

The round crossbow that fired a round did not stop, and the crossbowman who was in charge of loading next to him took out the twenty bamboo barrels from the cylinder, and then sprinkled another bag of powder that he didn't know what was into the bamboo tube, and then took a round of bamboo barrels that had been filled with crossbow arrows and stuffed them in, pressed it hard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the crossbowman immediately let go.

A new round of crossbow bolts has been loaded.

The five hundred men in black, that is, the kung fu of piercing the eye, all fell under the crossbow arrows.

Lei Chong was simply stunned.

Why have you never seen a crossbow bolt like this before? Could it be a new weapon made by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court?

Shouldn't it be, why didn't you get any news beforehand?

Just when Lei Chong was wondering, a leader came out of the group of about 2,000 crossbowmen and asked Lei Chong coldly: "Can you still move?" ”

Lei Chong nodded dumbfoundedly.

The man said, "Okay, you go and guard the city gate, and General Huang will be there in a while." ”

Lei Chong subconsciously asked, "What about you?" ”

The man turned his head and looked through the lake's eyes with a cold gaze: "Let's go to the city wall and help General Ning." ”

After saying that, under the leadership of the man, the two thousand mysterious troops went upstairs.

Looking at their backs, Lei Chong shook his head, and said in his heart that this army is also a little too strong.

When the mysterious troops went up to the city wall, Ning Shiguang was already overwhelmed, and when he saw that he was about to die, the leader waved his hand, and the kind of repeating crossbow regained its power.

All of a sudden, the tens of thousands of rebels on the city wall retreated, and under the attack of the rain of arrows, they threw down three or four thousand corpses and fled back in embarrassment.

Zhao Sui, who thought that the victory was in his hands, was annoyed, and even beheaded more than a dozen returning generals, and asked them why they didn't listen to Ming Jin's order and retreated.

The rebel generals who led the attack on the city were also aggrieved, and they took the city at a glance, who would have thought that such a group of crossbowmen would generally appear from the sky, and it would not be a human being at all.

Others can shoot a salvo of kung fu, they can shoot three times or even five times as many arrows.

Under the suppression of such powerful firepower, how do you let the rebels resist?

Aggrieved, Zhao Sui was not angry, and said in his heart that I was so easy to deceive when I was a three-year-old child?

If there really were such artifacts in the city, they didn't take them out until now?

Seeing that Zhao Sui was about to kill again, Li Tianxing directly stopped him and said: "Lord Wang, no matter what, this siege plan is a complete failure, instead of trying to kill people, it is better to think about what to do next, after all, there are not a few days left before Lu Gongyou returns to the court." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Sui stopped his anger and didn't say a word, turned around and went back.

Li Tianxing looked at the generals who were bleeding, just shook his head and sighed, and then looked at Tongguan with a look full of regret.

···

When the sunlight shone on the city tower, Ning Shiguang stared blankly at the mysterious troops who had been killing all night with a crossbow.

At this time, they were searching among the corpses all over the ground, constantly recovering and loading the crossbow arrows they had shot earlier.

Knock, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ning Shiguang really opened his eyes, just in the critical situation last night, this army was stunned to rely on its own strength to turn the entire battle around.

As a result, the admiration and gratitude in Ning Shiguang's heart at this time showed how vigorous he was.

To say a word, it is like a surging river, and it is okay to get by.

"This strong, friend, general, thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, Tongguan would have been lost." Ning Shiguang came up with gratitude at the moment, and opened his mouth to thank him, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to call it, and he pondered for a long time before he shouted out the word general.

The mysterious man who was packing up the arrows turned his head when he heard this, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Ning doesn't have to be polite, I'm just here to help on the orders of my family." ”

Ning Shiguang was stunned when he heard this: "Your lord? ”

This is, Deputy General Huang and General Lei Chong also came over, looking at the mysterious person and wondering.

In front of everyone, the mysterious man took off his helmet and face protection, revealing a resolute face with a knife and axe.

In particular, his right eye, with a blindfold, is particularly eye-catching.

Ning Shiguang hissed: "I haven't asked the general yet, who is your family?" ”

The man pursed his lips and said, "In Xia Xian Jingyu, the adult of my family is the king of the servants." ”

"Waiter, waiter!" Ning Shiguang was taken aback.

Xian Jingyu snorted, put all the arrows he had packed back into the wooden box and put them on his back, hung up the crossbow in his hand, and said, "On the orders of my family, I am here to help General Ning guard Tongguan." ”

"Lord Shizhong is far away in Daxing City, how do you know that Tongguan is in danger?" Ning Shiguang asked in surprise.

Xian Jingyu said: "My family has long been out of Daxing City, he is just worried that Tongguan will be lost, so he sent a team to help." ”

"Lord Shizhong is not in Daxing City? So where is he? ”

Xian Jingyu said quietly: "Feilong Mountain." ”

"Wyvern Mountain?" Ning Shiguang wondered, and said in his heart what kind of place this is, how come he has never heard of it.

But then again, where Wang Xiaolai is, Ning Shiguang can't care a lot, the current situation is that with the help of Xian Jingyu and the help of this crossbow unit, Ning Shiguang has enough confidence that he can hold Tongguan and insist on supporting Lu Gongyou.

"In this way, it's a lot of trouble for General Xian to help, with your ministry here, no matter how crazy the rebels are, they can be sure to hold Tongguan, hehe."

Xian Jingyu glanced at Ning Shiguang and said, "General Ning really thinks that my people can be invincible?" ”

Ning Shiguang wondered: "Isn't it?" Sui Yang has been founded for more than 300 years, and there has never been a crossbow. ”

Lei Chong also added: "And that time there was a round giant crossbow with twenty arrows. ”

Xian Jingyu smiled: "That's called a crossbow." But the two of you probably don't know, these two kinds of crossbows can only be melee combat, not far attacks, and the arrows of these two kinds of crossbows are also specially formulated, with one, there will be one less, otherwise, why bother to recover it. ”

When the words fell, the two of them were stupid.
