"Crunch, squeak, squeak."

Under Xu Hong's order, the operator on the winch rotated his legs hard, and finally fixed the crossbow string of the bed crossbow minute by minute, and then the crossbowman put the iron crossbow glowing with cold light into the crossbow groove, and then followed the command of the operator behind the bed crossbow, each adjusted the angle, aiming at the wall in front of him.

"Aim!"

"Aim!"

。。。

It was not until the fifteenth herald reported the news that Xu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then threw a meaningful look at Wang Ling and Qin Mo, held his head high, turned around and walked slowly to the temporary donkey cart command platform.

The fifteen heralds looked up at Xu Hong slightly, and with Xu Hong's slowly raised arms, fifteen pairs of eyes moved tightly with the two commanding flags in Xu Hong's hands, until Xu Hong's arms were raised above the top, and the nerves of the fifteen heralds suddenly tensed.

"Ready." After deliberately adjusting his tone, Xu Hong deliberately dragged out the tail note for a long time, as if he was deliberately attracting attention, or deliberately watching Qin Mo and Wang Ling's reactions, because Xu Hong's eyes were always slanted at the two of them, until the two of them looked away a little embarrassedly under Xu Hong's gaze, Xu Hong's mouth showed a satisfied smile, and at the same time, his gaze finally completely shifted to the Black Wind Cottage in front of him.

The eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, as bright as the rising sun in the sky, and the two red flags suddenly became extremely bright, as Xu Hong took a deep breath, the arms that had been held high for a long time finally moved slowly, but in the blink of an eye, the two arms holding the flag suddenly accelerated, and with a loud shout in his mouth, the two flags were waved out.

"Put!!"

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom. ”

Fifteen bed crossbows were ordered almost at the same time, and fifteen iron crossbows were suddenly ejected, and under the bated gaze of everyone, one by one the iron crossbows drew a dazzling silver light in the morning sun, accompanied by the crossbowman's aim at the predetermined trajectory, and in the blink of an eye, the iron crossbow was nailed to the wall in the distance.

Due to its full strength, the feathers made of iron sheet at the end of the crossbow only shook slightly, and stabilized as the crossbow penetrated deep into the wall. In the face of the sudden attack, the wall also trembled, and then the debris fell, the dust was raised, and the morning light sprinkled on the gray and yellow dust and smoke, covering the originally shiny iron crossbows with a faint golden glow.

Xu Hong, who was in charge of the command on the donkey cart, looked at it, and the relief and surprise in his eyes alternated with each other, although the height of the iron crossbow was not particularly neat, but the result of the small difference between the upper and lower distances was enough to make the Southern Navy present look dumbfounded, after all, it was already shocking to be able to play so well at such a distance.

Xu Hong threw a smug glance in the direction of Wang Ling and Qin Mo, and then waved his arms again and again, giving the order to the people in charge of controlling the bed crossbow to prepare to continue shooting.

In the face of all this, Ding Li just cast a meaningful glance in the direction of Xu Hong with a flat face, although his face did not show much, but his heart was full of surprise. Although Ding Li also knew that Xu Hong and others practiced weekdays, but at the current distance between the two sides, Ding Li still couldn't think that Xu Hong could do the scene in front of him, and when faced with the fact that everything was reality, Ding Li was not only surprised in his heart, but also secretly praised Xu Hong.

With Xu Hong's hand leading everyone to use the bed crossbow, the morale of the Southern Navy was raised to an unprecedented height, although there was no chorus of shouts and cheers that are often seen in the military camp on weekdays, but most of the soldiers were already gearing up and eager to try, and it seemed that they were eager to rush up now, climbing the iron crossbow that was more than one meter above the ground, so as to climb the wall and fight the horse thieves of Black Wind Mountain.

And the horse thieves on the wall, compared to the reaction of the Southern Navy, it is just the opposite, the attack of the bed crossbow has made them feel a little frightened, some of the horse thieves who were originally close to the wall of the wall are subconsciously moved backwards, looking at the earthen wall that is only more than a foot in front of them, and then think about the iron crossbow that flashed under their noses just now, everyone can't believe that the iron crossbow can't hurt themselves, and even more directly realize that if the iron crossbow was aimed at themselves just now, I'm afraid that they have been shot by the iron crossbow now. I tasted the cold taste to the full.

In this regard, Li Ghost could only secretly grit his teeth and curse in his heart, but who let his side not have this kind of magic weapon at all, so he could only hide behind a small section of the wall made of stones directly above the gate with the one-eyed ghost and a few henchmen in anger, and the stone in front of him with a thickness of half a meter was indeed more than enough to resist the attack of the iron crossbow.

"Get the oil ready! Go and let the brothers move quickly! After making sure that he would not be shot through by the iron crossbow, Li Ghost turned his head and gritted his teeth at the one-eyed ghost, and then quickly glanced at the Nanhai in the distance, retracted his neck and spat fiercely on the ground, looking at those subordinates who had been frightened by the bed crossbow and did not dare to show their heads, although he was very annoyed in his heart, but he knew that the current situation was indeed a special situation, and after frowning, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and reminded everyone loudly: "Be excited, don't be afraid!" They come from afar, and they don't bring too many bolts! Now they're trying to build a ladder on our wall with a crossbow bolt, brothers! We'll give them a taste of what we're all about later! ”

Ghost Li's words still played a big role, especially when the iron crossbow of the Southern Navy was insufficient, so that the horse thieves' pale complexion finally recovered a little ruddy, and at the same time, many people were relieved, after all, the deterrent power brought by the imposing iron crossbow was too great, and the crossbow with the thickness of the arm, no one wanted to let such a thing pass through their body, whether it hurt or not, even if they would not die at all, the momentum was enough to deter the soul, and the horse thieves were terrified.

In the distance, the sound of bed crossbows suddenly sounded, and many horse thieves were suddenly pulled back to their minds by the loud sound that came into their ears in reality, and they didn't know if they were suddenly frightened, or because the wall under their feet was trembling more violently than last time, many people suddenly shivered, but as the piercing whistling sound completely disappeared and the feet were stable again, the fear on everyone's faces began to gradually dissipate.

Indeed, as his boss Li Ghost said, the intention of the Southern Navy was not to shoot them directly on the wall, but to try to build an iron ladder on the wall that could climb the wall. At the same time, Ghost Li, who was a little less worried in his eyes, turned his head again and reminded the horse thieves on both sides of the wall.

"Brothers, don't worry! Now we have an advantage, and they must not have many crossbow arrows! Let's start our spirits, and we will use our babies to entertain them well! ”

After repeating it a few times, Ghost Li glanced at the busy Nanhai Navy in the distance, spat to the side, and cursed with a hideous face: "Straight lady thief!" Dare to come and rob Lao Tzu's stockade! It's always Lao Tzu who robs others! A group of guys who don't know the height of the sky, let you taste what is called bitterness today, Lao Tzu's Black Wind Cottage is not something you can snatch if you want to! ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, it seemed like a blink of an eye for the Southern Navy, and the horse thieves on the walled wall were living like years, and even felt tormented, and their hearts would rise like a group of lambs to the slaughter who could not resist, and they could only let the crossbows in the distance nail pieces of iron ladders on the wall under their feet again and again.

Ten rounds of bed crossbows salvo, nailed up and down three rows of iron crossbows on the wall of the Black Wind Cottage, the difference between the top and bottom is more than one meter, each row of bed crossbows is each salvo will be staggered more than a mile away, a quarter of an hour later, there are three layers of staggered iron ladders on the wall, but there is no ladder surface yet.

Looking at the huge project he commanded, Xu Hong felt a sense of pride in his heart, jumped off the donkey cart and threw the two command flags to the soldiers waiting aside, strode towards Ding Li and the others, and at the same time kept glancing at the iron ladder in the distance, and constantly cast strange glances at Wang Ling and Qin Mo, so that the two of them couldn't wait to look away and never turn back.

"Brother Li, we don't have many crossbows with the army, so we can't put them all here at once!" Walking in front of Ding Li, Xu Hong bowed his hand slightly, and then pointed sideways to the big wooden box on the side of a bed crossbow nearby, and explained to Ding Li: "Keep these just in case, and you can also suppress the horse thieves on the wall when the brothers rush up!" ”

"Well, that's right! It really needs to be! Ding Li glanced at the Black Wind Cottage that was becoming more and more brilliant and golden under the sun, and felt more and more that the name of this Black Wind Cottage was too vulgar, and it didn't match the scene in front of him at all, and straightened his waist, Ding Li reminded everyone thoughtfully: "But there is one thing that our army still needs to pay attention to!" The Black Wind Cottage has been under the management of Ghost Li for so many years, since such a village has been built, the supporting defense must not be bad! When our army attacked, there were bed crossbows to suppress the fire of the horse thieves on the wall, which was indeed conducive to the strong attack of our army! ”

After saying that, Ding Li frowned slightly and groaned, turned to look at Xu Hong, and asked softly: "This iron ladder, there should be something missing, right?" ”

"Of course, how can this stand people, even if the brothers rush over, they can't go up! I can't stand up to it! Xu Hong nodded as a matter of course, but he looked confident, under the slightly puzzled gaze of Ding Li and others, Xu Hong raised his head proudly, turned around and waved his arms to the warcraftsmen near the donkey cart and beckoned: "Work and work!" Dismantle the donkey cart and gather all the planks here! Hurry up, it's just the last step! ”

Hearing this, Ding Li and the others suddenly realized, and immediately understood Xu Hong's intentions, and put the wooden plank of the donkey cart on the iron crossbow, which created a safe foothold for the attack on the Black Wind Cottage.

Just thinking of this, Ding Li took the lead in thinking of the next strong attack, and immediately twisted his brows, his eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't look at the expressions on everyone's faces, hesitated, and finally said in a deep voice: "Since it is a strong attack, there will definitely be casualties!" But now it's ready to fly, and I have to send it! Brothers, who is willing to be a pioneer and take the lead? ”

Speaking of this, Ding Li paused, his wrinkled brows tightened a few points, and he added in a solemn tone: "Regardless of success or failure, take credit for one thing!" ”
