Chapter 388: Baseball

Seeing that the arrows he shot were bounced off, Luo Ming came to a conclusion.

"Well, it looks like it's armor. ”

Armor is the crystallization of civilization and wisdom.

It is undoubtedly the prerogative of intelligent beings to perceive their own lack of defense, so they wrap all kinds of strong and flexible substances around the surface of their bodies to mitigate or even cancel out the damage.

Luo Ming had a little respect for the gorilla, and immediately realized that this enemy was not easy to deal with.

However, it is only relative to the human soldiers who are armed with cold weapons.

If you let this big monster fight with the soldiers, it is estimated that it can easily defeat a dozen miscellaneous soldiers.

Then, in the horror of everyone, he came down like a savior, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he pulled out the Heavenly Power Sword and killed it after a few rounds of fighting......

It's dramatic, but it's pointless, and it's just a waste of your lives and your own strength.

Luo Ming has made corresponding plans for all kinds of possible enemies, and this kind of big monster is naturally no exception.

Lauder and the dog god had fled back to the front of the battle, and the enemies were using the gorilla as the vanguard to kill Romin's array.

At this distance, Luo Ming could see that the "armor" on the gorilla was actually made of multiple layers of animal skins pieced together, although the technique was rough, but its defensive power was absolutely insignificant.

For example, a lighter arrow sometimes can't penetrate even a layer of animal skin, and if more than a dozen layers of animal skin are superimposed, it is basically invulnerable, even if it is placed in place and chopped with a kitchen knife, it will take half a day to cut it.

Of course, such leather armor will become very bulky, and normal humans will hardly be able to move when they wear it, and its price is definitely not cheap - it is better to simply put on iron armor if you have this condition.

Only in this way would the big monsters that live in the mountains use such heavy leather armor.

The orangutan had such a piece of leather armor on its body, and it waved a wooden stick with a calf thickness in its hand, and the ordinary spear array could not stop its impact.

Perhaps many layers of spears will be able to stop it, but it will certainly be able to take out a dozen or two soldiers before its momentum runs out and it falls into a siege.

Luo Ming also thought a little about whether to subdue it, after all, if such a big man was equipped with better armor and weapons, it would be a chariot, and it could even be equipped with a cannon to become a tank-like mobile firepower......

However, he didn't want to take that risk now—he himself wouldn't be afraid of being wounded by the monster, but his soldiers were expensive, and all of them were future officer seeds.

So, he raised his left hand.

Following the gorilla, hundreds of people rushed towards this side with various weapons, dressed in animal skins, and with strange oil paint on their faces.

From time to time, they let out a long howl that imitated that of an ape, one after another, giving people the illusion of countless enemies for a while, if it was a recruit who had never seen blood, or who was used to fighting alone and had never participated in a battle on the scale of hundreds of people, maybe he would really be frightened and overwhelmed.

And those mountain people who believe in the dog god, although they actually have an advantage in numbers, have already wavered a little.

However, this is not worth mentioning in front of Luo Ming.

As he raised his hand, the soldiers sang the last line of the anthem aloud in unison.

"With the wind and lightning, we can knock the world upside down!"

They were fed at every meal, and occasionally with meat, and the soldiers who ran every day had a lung capacity far greater than that of these mountain dwellers.

Moreover, the voices that sang at the same time were superimposed on each other, and they were louder than any single person's voice—even a roar from Luo Ming could hardly overshadow such a chorus.

As a result, ninety-three voices converged to form a huge wave of sound, which instantly pounced on each other in turn.

The originally strong morale on the other side suddenly received a heavy setback.

And before these words fell, Luo Ming waved his arm and gave a brief order.

"Put!"

The artilleryman leaned the miniature torch against the arquebus, and quickly pushed it away.

In the next moment, two Tiger Squat Cannons roared, followed by two more Tiger Squat Cannons that also fired.

They don't release any ordinary shotguns - while they have a good area-of-effect effect, they have limited penetration, and they may not be lethal to such a large, thick-skinned creature in leather armor.

After all, a simple shotgun, to put it bluntly, is a small lead pellet, and if it hits a person, it will immediately be a blood hole, and most of the immortals will lose their combat ability, but the penetration is limited, and the distance is a little farther, and it may not be able to break the defense against heavily armored targets.

So, the artillerymen loaded the barrel with a round solid iron bullet almost the size of a fist, and added a few shotguns sporadically to do a little area damage by the way.

When the artillery fire was fired, the solid round bullet flew out at subsonic speed along with the shotgun, and smashed it towards the large man 70 meters away.

Truth be told, although the shells fly fast, in the eyes of those who are about to be hit, there is an illusion of slowness.

Just like all kinds of ball sports, such as baseball, badminton, tennis, etc., the speed is often not able to catch up with drag racing on the highway, but the people on the opposite side seem to have traces to follow.

Therefore, there is a reason why the swordsman has the opportunity to dodge the cannonballs.

However, this gorilla certainly doesn't have that agility.

No, perhaps, when it launched an attack, its body movements were no slower than those of the swordsman, and Lauder almost caught its path just now.

But it was a huge muscular body, and it was really difficult to move like an ordinary human swordsman.

Faced with the sudden projectile, its hair exploded, and without hesitation, it raised the wooden stick in its hand and headed towards the iron ball.

The head of the wooden stick is roughly wrapped with a layer of bronze, which is naturally no problem to block ordinary cold weapons, if anyone is hit by it, it will definitely break the bones and tendons, even if it is just rubbed, the rough copper can hang down a piece of flesh.

Like a skilled baseball player, the thick wooden stick meets the flying sphere accurately.

So, will you hit a nice home run?

No, of course not. The answer, of course, is no.

The kinetic energy contained in such an iron ball is almost comparable to the kinetic energy of a lightweight car running thirty or forty miles.

Such a car can easily knock over five or six people, so when such a huge kinetic energy is condensed into a cannonball that is not as big as a fist, it has even more terrifying killing power.

Before he could hear the crash, Luo Ming saw the end of the huge weapon.

The bronze quickly deformed and twisted, then shattered into several pieces and scattered around, and the wood wrapped in it had not even had time to split before it was squeezed and exploded by the cannonballs, forming a large mess of wood chips.
