Chapter Seventy-Eight: Accidents
While a few people were talking, Keith in the tree suddenly exclaimed, "Master, the crocodiles are here! ”
"There are a lot of them, there are only a dozen in total, and we have already killed four of them, even if they all run over, there will only be a dozen!" Yang Fan looked up at Keith with a puzzled expression.
Keith, who was staring at it, seemed to be a little excited, and he didn't care about answering Yang Fan, so he jumped directly from the tree. "The ballistas are all ready, there are a large number of dinosaurs coming! ”
Keith's transgression did not make Yang Fan angry, but attracted his attention, raised his eyes to look at the shore of the lake a hundred meters away, Yang Fan asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"Master, we seem to have underestimated the number of these crocodiles, the ones who disappeared into the lake before did not know when they ran to the middle of the lake, and now they are leading more crocodiles towards us. Keith replied.
Yang Fan's whole body was shocked, his pupils constricted, and he grabbed Keith's shoulder and asked eagerly, "What? Are you sure there are more than we saw before?"
"Yes, as far as I can see, at least, thirty. Keith came back in a huff.
Yang Fan's eyes widened in horror, his mouth opened involuntarily, and his right hand holding Keith trembled slightly. "How is it possible, how can there be so many. ”
"Master, now is not the time to talk about this, let's hurry up and think of countermeasures!" Seeing that Yang Fan was a little stunned, Gaitra pulled the corner of his clothes.
Thirty dire crocodiles, thirty sixth-order demonic beasts, how to deal with them? There were only 48 arrows left in the five ballistas, which seemed like a lot, but in fact, only one could be attacked for every three arrows, so that at most, 16 dire crocodiles could be killed, and there were 14 left, so there was no way to fight at all, and for a while, a trace of despair rose in Yang Fan's heart.
"Master, what are you thinking?" Seeing Yang Fan's brows furrowed and his eyes were dilated, Gate asked suspiciously.
Yang Fan, who came back to his senses, shook his head helplessly, "It seems that we may be going to fail today." ”
"Not necessarily, although those dinosaurs are very powerful, we can use the ballista to consume some of their numbers first, and then the infantry will resist them, and the archers will attack from a distance, as long as the infantry can resist, we have hope of victory. Keith objected.
Yang Fan sighed and said, "Having said that, but I have already calculated just now, according to the number of arrows, at most it can only consume half of their strength, and the rest is not at all something that a few of us can deal with." ”
"No, master. We can actually let the ballista fire two arrows at a time, so that we can save a lot of arrows. In addition, when the number of arrows decreases, the power of the bowstring will increase, and the power of each arrow will also increase, so that more dinosaurs will be destroyed. After a pause, Keith continued, "Even if you can't kill the dinosaur directly with one arrow, at least you can seriously injure them, and when they run in front of us, it will be much easier for the infantry to deal with them." ”
As soon as Keith's words fell, Gatet shouted, "Master, the crocodile is here!"
Yang Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at the shore of the lake, only to see a dinosaur wearing black armor, slowly climbing ashore from the lake, after all the dinosaurs came to the shore, everyone involuntarily held their breath, Yang Fan even felt that his heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Yang Fan clenched his fists tightly, breathing a little quickly and said loudly: "Attention to the infantry of the ballista, after each shot of the ballista, the archer should aim and shoot at the first time on the loading, and after the crocodile runs a distance of nearly 20 meters, immediately abandon the ballista, the infantry holds a giant shield to defend in front, and the archers run to the rear to attack with all their might." ”
"Yes," replied the crossbow archers and foot soldiers at the same time.
For now, only Case's proposal is credible, so Yang Fan gave this order almost without hesitation.
After noticing the crowd, the crocodiles on the shore let out a roar, and then their thick tails swung violently and ran towards them.
Looking at the menacing dinosaur crocodiles, Yang Fan was about to give the order to attack, but he heard a series of bangs suddenly sounding in his ears, and he remembered that he had already said that he had already said that they would be free to play, so he didn't care about the archers who attacked on their own, but focused on the group of dinosaur crocodiles.
The five ballistae fired a salvo, directly putting the four dinosaur crocodiles in front to the ground, and the only one who was still able to move was also firmly nailed to the ground by the arrow, struggling meaninglessly.
Unfortunately, they seemed to hear the screams of the previous dead dinosaurs, so they were very vigilant, and when the arrows were fired towards them, the five attacked dinosaurs cast an "earth shield" in front of them, and the arrows fired at each dinosaur were also wasted, and only one arrow really caused damage to them.
Because of this, the five dinosaur crocodiles did not die immediately, but struggled violently on the ground, but judging by the strength of their struggle, they were obviously injured to the core, otherwise they would not look so crazy.
The five dinosaur crocodiles that were attacked at the front did not affect the "big army" behind them, and even after seeing the seriously injured dinosaur crocodiles, the "big army" didn't even stop for a moment, and directly crossed their bodies and continued to run towards Yang Fan and the others.
There were a few more muffled thuds, and the ballista began its second attack, and with a series of black flashes, several more dinosaur crocodiles stopped running, and one of them flipped several times in a row because of his usual name when running.
At this moment, a dinosaur that was hit in the head by an arrow suddenly exploded inexplicably, and the power of the explosion directly turned the distance of twenty meters around it into a huge crater 5 meters deep, and several dinocrocodiles in this range, including the injured ones, were directly blown into cripples, teeth, blood, claws, and even tails, flying all over the ground.
For a while, not only were the dinosaurs frightened by this earth-shattering explosion, but even Yang Fan and the others looked at the big pit in amazement, and even the soldiers who had always had good psychological quality forgot to attack for a while.
"Lord, master, this..." Gate, stunned, looked at the place where the flesh and blood were splattered, and muttered for a long time, but did not say a complete sentence.
In fact, these soldiers were not the same as Yang Fan's surprise, Yang Fan was surprised by the power of the explosion and his doubts about the cause of the explosion. The soldiers, including Get, were surprised by the fighting power of the crocodile, and in their opinion, the explosion must have been the trick of the dire crocodile who was shot in the head, knowing that he was dying, and launched it to the same end.
