Chapter 6: Improving the Crossbow Machine

Dai Tian suddenly jumped up, shouted in the spot: "Dongzhi people are attacking again, Dongzhi people are attacking again......" shouted a few times, returned to his room, and carried a wooden stick by the wall. was about to rush out, but just as he was about to go out, he saw that the painting he hung up last night suddenly fell off the wall, and rolled up and flew into Dai Tian's arms.

Dai Tian just thought that a sound from the ground shook it down, shook it off, and muttered and complained: "You only care about making trouble, and now I can't take care of you at the critical moment, I want to protect my two young ladies." ”

But before he could take two steps, the scroll suddenly flew up again, fell on its shoulders, and the two thin ropes tied to the painting shaft were put in front of Dai Tian's chest. As he spoke, he tied the two ropes around his breast. Carrying the stick, he rushed out.

rushed to the courtyard of Lu Jie'er and Lu Xixi's sisters, shouting and banging on the door, and the two of them got up. Lu Jie'er was holding the serpentine sword in his arms, and when he was about to roar at Dai Tian, Lu Zunyun also rushed over and asked, "Who called Dongzhiren to commit just now?"

Dai Tiandao: "It's me, the last time Dongzhi people came, this voice came from the ground first, and this time it's the same." Lu Jie'er said: "Alarmist, disturbing people can't sleep...... but Lu Zunyun said: "Dai Tianjiu lives in the mountains and has his own sensitivity to danger, so I have to listen to his words, let's go to the city wall to check first." ”

While speaking, he walked outside the house, and Lu Jie'er glared at Dai Tian: "When there is no Dongzhi people, I will pay attention to you." The three of them followed.

When they came out of the city wall and looked to the east, the four of them were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide, only to see the torches in the distance were bright, faintly like a fire snake dancing, swaying like a ghost fire.

Lu Zunyun shouted: "Quick, go and beat the drums of the crowd." Dai Tianying shouted, jumped to the city tower, beat the drum, and struck at the broken drum, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked dozens of times, and everyone in the city could naturally understand the sound of the drum. When they heard the noise, they all arose, and they all went to the wall.

After a while, they were all gathered on the city wall, watching the mountain torches getting closer and closer, Lu Zunyun said: "Why is Dongzhi abnormal this time, they used to come to disturb each other every once in a while, but this time they came in such a short time, so we didn't have any preparation." All the soldiers defending the city obeyed the order, in order to protect the relatives in the city, this time they must desperately defend each other, and the other clansmen also rolled the slave arrows and stones to the city. ”

Lu Zunyun mobilized in the city, integrating the military and the people, performing their duties and doing their best.

When they were busy here, the sound of shouting and killing could already be heard everywhere in the torches. Because they are close, they can naturally see the figures under the torches, all of them are tall, and on their pitch-black bodies, the scabs are turned outward in several layers, this is the magic clothes they have cultivated.

It turns out that the people of the demon realm can be divided into three levels, each of which is divided into three levels, and each level is divided into nine levels, and the entire demon clan has a total of nine orders and eighty-one levels.

This is the place of the devil's edge, mostly the lower three demons, and each of the lower three demons has a name, namely: horn warrior, fighter, warrior.

When Lu Zunyun and everyone looked over there, the lowest of the Dongzhi people were all fighters and demon ranks, and there were many warriors, but Mu Nancheng was not as good as that, most of them were the highest and only fighters, even if they were the patriarchs of Lu Zunyun and Wei Zhangming, they had just cultivated to the level of warriors. But now the Dongzhi people who are attacking have thousands of characters in the warrior demon rank, and there are a few strong demons in the middle and third demons.

Dongzhi people are good at killing and plundering, precisely because they have a high demon rank and have the ability to bully the weak.

When everyone looked into nowhere, they all lamented: "Bitter, I'm afraid that the city will be broken again today." Lu Zunyun didn't listen to them, and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" All the soldiers defending the city responded when they heard the order. "Whoosh" sounded continuously, and the arrows were like dense rain, pressing straight towards the Dongzhiren.

Seeing that the arrow fell, it only blocked the speed of Dongzhiren's body a little slower, and few of them fell.

Wei Zhangming said beside Lu Zunyun: "It's a pity, the Dongzhi people have strong demon clothes, and our ordinary arrows can't help them, it seems that the city is unstoppable." ”

It turned out that for the cultivation of the lower three demons, they were all cultivation on the body, and every time their cultivation advanced by one level, the demon clothes would increase by one layer, and the skin on the body would be a little harder. They have a high demon level, so they already have ten or thirty layers of magic clothes on their bodies. Therefore, it is difficult for these arrows to penetrate their skin, and they all fall down when they hit the skin.

The dense rain of arrows shot several times in a row, and the people who shot the arrows were also deflated, and they couldn't stop it at all.

Lu Zunyun also frowned again and again, and said to Wei Zhangming: "I will do my best to stop them here, you go and organize the old and young in the city, go out from the north gate, and retreat into the deep mountains, so as not to be slaughtered." Wei Zhangming responded and went down to the city.

At the head of the city, Lu Zunyun saw that the arrows were helpless, and they rushed closer and closer, and shouted: "Let go of the crossbow." ”

The soldiers defending the city responded in unison, threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, and carried a row of bed crossbows to the edge of the battlement, twisted the crossbow strings, put the big crossbow up, pulled the hanging knife, and a row of big crossbows mixed with the "whirring" wind, and shot out in a volley.

Each crossbow is more than seven feet long, although there is no arrow secret, but when it is shot out, the strength is enough, the distance is long, I thought that this crossbow can reach the power, but when the big crossbow is shot into the crowd of Dongzhi, Lu Zunyun and all the soldiers on the city wall sighed again, because although the crossbow is big, it is only to rush the direct soldiers one by one, but not too long, they all get up and rush forward, only one or two fell in place and did not get up.

The soldiers on the city wall complained one after another: "The tips of our crossbows are not sharp enough. Looking at the current situation, Lu Zunyun's heart also became empty. But even so, it is necessary to release the crossbow, and it is a time to be able to block it for a while.

"Release the crossbow! continue to release the crossbow!" Lu Zunyun commanded repeatedly. The rows of crossbows fired into the Dongzhi army, knocking down some of the soldiers, but only slightly blocked.

Suddenly, Dai Tian shouted: "This is just a waste of crossbow arrows, and when the crossbow arrows are finished, Dongzhi people will no longer be able to stop them." Lu Jie'er glared at her: "You demon slave, dare to doubt my father's orders, if you don't beat you for a while, you will have itchy skin." As he spoke, he raised the whip and drew it.

Dai Tian was just about to take a wrong step to hide, but suddenly Lu Zunyun stretched out his big hand, grabbed it in the air, turned his head and said, "Jie'er can't make mistakes." While scolding Lu Jie's childhood, he bowed his head and said to Dai Tiandao: "What can you do." ”

This is urgent, Dai Tian was not frightened, turned his head to Lu Zunyun and said: "Our arrows are not good, we must increase the strength of the crossbow machine, and now, if we want to shoot through the Dongzhi people, we must increase the strength of the crossbow machine." ”

Lu Zunyun said anxiously: "But this crossbow machine is made by the top mechanics in the city, not to mention that it is urgent now, and there is no time to improve the crossbow machine!" Dai Tian said: "In the past, I fled in the mountains, and in order to deal with fierce beasts, I once made a simple crossbow machine, which can be completed in a short time, and it may be of some use at this time." ”

Lu Zunyun's eyes widened and said, "Really, come and try it." ”

Dai Tianying said, after coming to a crossbow machine, he picked up the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it, and with a "click", the crossbow bed beam was broken, which frightened Lu Zunyun and the others to open their mouths wide. Dai Tian also ignored everyone's expressions, picked up a section of the crossbow rope on the ground, dipped it in the puddle of water in the depression, took the beam that was broken into two sections, tied one end with a wet rope, tied one on each side of the longitudinal frame on both sides of the crossbow machine, and left a margin on the rope, and twisted the rope inward with both hands around the broken beam, and twisted the rope inward a few times, and there was a lot of potential energy between the two beams.

Shouted: "Bring the crossbow string." A soldier handed the crossbow string, and Dai Tian attached the crossbow string to the broken crossbow that had been twisted, fastened the hook, pulled the crossbow string back, put the arrow, and finally pressed down the hanging knife. The big crossbow "whoosh" and flew out quickly, shooting into the crowd of Dongzhi. On the city wall, everyone could see that the big stun crossed the body of a straight soldier, and its momentum was unabated, and it pierced out from behind, and then pushed into the front chest of a straight man behind.

Seeing the two straight soldiers fall, everyone on the city wall cheered: "Shoot dead, shoot dead, shoot two at once......

While cheering, when everyone went to see Dai Tian, their eyes brightened, and they praised: "A teenage little demon slave can actually make such a powerful crossbow machine in a short time. Lu Zunyun sighed bitterly: "It's a pity, the sky is tricky, but he has a crippled physique, and he can't cultivate the demon soul." He sighed and ordered the bolts to be fired. ”

For Dai Tian, he has been dealing with fierce beasts in the mountains for three or four years, and he is weak and small, but wisdom is always forced out of the weak, and when others marvel at the power of the crossbow machine, Dai Tian does not think so, and uses the same method to transform another crossbow machine.

The crossbow arrows are fired non-stop, and all the crossbow arrows that have not been reformed have just put the direct soldiers under the city on the heels, and the crossbow machines that have been transformed by Dai Tian can kill two or three with one arrow.

However, the east direct soldiers under the city are like the sea, covering the east, and a few crossbow machines transformed by Dai Tian can block the direct soldiers on one side and not come forward, but a large area has already attacked the city. Some used their hard bodies, while others carried logs, and they went to crash into the walls and gates.

Lu Zunyun commanded in a loud voice: "Throw the rolling stones!" All the soldiers and civilians responded and threw the big stones on the city, either pushing or hugging, to the city.

With the sound of "rumbling", there were also a lot of screams under the city, because only a small number of low-level demons were smashed, but many high-level direct soldiers had already arrived in the city, some directly used their bodies to hit the wall, and some carried logs to hit the city wall and city gates.

Because the city wall was newly repaired, it was not strong at all, and one of them was knocked down first, and seeing the "bang-la-la" rubble piled up, and the soldiers who defended the city on it also fell, the people of Higashi screamed wildly and tore them in half, and then I saw the people of Tonao pouring in through the gap like a tide.

Lu Zunyun saw it in his eyes, first sighed bitterly, and then shouted: "The women and children in the city need our protection, and all the children who defend the city will follow me to kill them." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Dai Tian: "Protect the two young ladies well, take them down to the city, and mix in the crowd of women and children to hide in the city." Lu Jie'er shouted: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to kill Dongzhi with my father." As he spoke, he held the whip in one hand and the serpentine sword in the other.
