Chapter 185: Lay down your life

The crossbow is a very common weapon, and many rangers will choose the crossbow as their first weapon, in addition to this, many casters will also have a one-handed hand crossbow as a substitute attack after the spell slot is used up.

However, this refers to crossbows in general, and in addition to these single-use crossbows, there is another branch of crossbows, which is the War Machine.

There are many kinds of war machines, and the heavy crossbow is one of them, the heavy crossbow is also divided into two kinds, one is fixed on the city wall, or it needs to be loaded with a car, the volume is huge, and the super heavy crossbow is used as thick as a wooden stake, sometimes called a siege crossbow or a city defense crossbow, this kind of crossbow generally requires at least 4 people to operate, one is responsible for carrying the crossbow arrows, two people are responsible for opening the strings and responsible for the rotation of the crossbow machine, and the last person is responsible for confirming the direction of the attack and launching the final attack.

In addition, there is also a single heavy crossbow, which is the same as ordinary crossbow machines, which only need one person to control, but its actual operation is far more difficult than ordinary crossbow machines.

First of all, the string of the single heavy crossbow is much heavier than the general crossbow machine, and if you want to open the string on the arrow, you generally need to hold the crossbow body with both hands, and then step on the string with your foot, and the two phases can be opened with force, which greatly limits the shooting frequency of the heavy crossbow.

Secondly, the weight of the heavy crossbow itself is much higher than that of the general crossbow machine because of the material and volume, and with such a heavy crossbow, it will greatly affect the user's own agility.

Therefore, such heavy crossbows are generally only used in one place - the battlefield, just like the earliest arquebuses, a large number of heavy crossbowmen stand in rows, one row of fires and quickly retreat and open the string of arrows, and the back row is on top of the top to continue, and only in this way can the attack power of the heavy crossbow be maximized, and there is no need to think about dodging attacks and the like.

As a relatively large family, especially the family formed after the annexation of many small families, the Wall family also has its own reserve of heavy crossbows, however, these heavy crossbows are generally hidden deep in the warehouse, and will only be considered for use when there is a real big war.

Because the combat wear and tear of the heavy crossbow is very large, repairing and maintaining the heavy crossbow itself costs a lot of money, and the crossbow arrows of the heavy crossbow are specially made, and they can rarely be recycled, which consumes more materials.

And for the mother of Wall, instead of wasting this money by building a permanent heavy crossbow army, it is better to get yourself a few more clothes and accessories, anyway, the heavy crossbow is there, if it is really necessary to take it out and use it, maybe those soldiers will not be able to fully exert the power of the heavy crossbow because they have not undergone much training, but how much worse?

So, although the Wall family has a heavy crossbow, it is almost impossible to see, and it has never appeared in the last 10 years.

However, now, on the walls on both sides, more than 10 people with heavy crossbows appeared at the same time, attacking the mother of Wall, how could she not be angry?

This kind of thing is a controlled material, and it is impossible to bring it in from the outside, and there are so many of them, which means that these things can only come from within the family, or even from the warehouse where they are stored.

What does this mean? This shows that this assassination came from within the family at all, and it is even likely that her children planned it!

Mistress Wall isn't really an idiot, so how could she not think of this?

The strings of the heavy crossbow rattled as the strings began to contract from their fully open state, and then there was the sharp sound of the arrows as thick as a child's arm piercing the air!

Yes, the crossbow arrows fired by this heavy crossbow have the kinetic energy at the moment when they leave the heavy crossbow, which even the lizardman spearman can't match, and at that moment, the friction with the air is like piercing the air!

Almost instantly, the heavy crossbow bolts had traveled half the distance, and they were already approaching the float, but the guards below didn't have time to react at all!

They didn't have time to react, but Mother Wall had reacted early, and when she saw that the assassins were using heavy crossbows, she had already lightly pressed a button next to her.

Whew!Whew!Whew!

In a few continuous soft sounds, I saw the outer edge of the float, and the petals that I thought were used for decoration suddenly stood up, just like a flower that had originally bloomed and suddenly shrunk into flower bones, tightly wrapping the cockpit where the middle Lord Wal's mother was in the middle!

This was followed by a loud clanging sound.

The special crossbow arrows made of metal shot at those petals, and there was no way to penetrate them, but they barely left some dents on them, and they were blocked and fell to the ground.

On the roof, the faces of those assassins had completely changed, and they could never have imagined that the float of the mother of Wall had such a function!

What they didn't expect was that at this moment, from behind them, a large group of people jumped onto the roof and attacked them.

The guards that Mistress Wall brought with her when she traveled were far more than the hundreds that people saw!

These people who jumped on the roof were far stronger than those guards!

In the face of these people, those assassins didn't have time to open the strings and arrows to make a second round of attacks, at this moment, the heavy crossbow was completely called a burden, so that they lost all the opportunity to escape, they could only take the heavy crossbow and smash it at those people, but all this was in vain.

The flowers bloomed again, and the petals, after protecting the mother of Wall, spread out again and changed back to the shape of a float.

On the float, the face of the mother of Wall did not have a trace of cheerfulness because the assassination was completely contained, her face became more and more ugly, and she said in a deep voice: "Catch me alive!"

"Ha, I admit that our operation failed, but you want to capture us alive?

Of course, those assassins also heard this, and one of them, who was already suffering more than ten injuries, laughed when he heard this, and suddenly reversed the sword in his hand and stabbed directly into his heart!

And the other assassins did the same, turning their weapons one after another, and even using crossbow arrows with heavy crossbows, just like that, in front of the guards, they committed suicide with their backhands!

No one expected that they would be so resolute, so resolute that they could abandon their lives so easily, that neither the guards nor the masters on the roof could react, watching all the assassins die!

At this moment, the face of the mother of the wall was extremely ugly, she could no longer control her anger, and shouted frantically: "Do you think that death can cover everything? Check it out for me! No matter how many people die, you must find out about this matter! No one can let go!"
