The bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow, is developed on the basis of the winch crossbow and is a powerful crossbow. One or several bows are mounted on a bed frame to twist the axle at the rear of the bow to load the arrows, ready for fire. The multi-bow bed crossbow can be used by multiple people to winch the shaft, and the combined force of several bows is far more powerful than the single-person use of the tension, tension or waist crossbow. And it can adjust the elevation angle of the bow, the maximum elevation angle can reach about 50 degrees, which is the most advanced anti-aircraft weapon existing in the underworld.
However, the bed crossbow was bulky and less mobile, so it was generally only used in defensive battles.
Grandma could think that Xiao Shizhu would come back without returning to the pass, and formulated a strategy to wait here for work, which shows that this banshee soul is not stupid, and after the previous few encounters, she immediately thought of using a bed crossbow to deal with the feather soldiers of the Xiao family's army, which made Xiao Shizhu somewhat admire her as an enemy.
"With the bed crossbow here, it is difficult for us to play the role of air strikes. Yu Rong lowered his head slightly and pondered, and said, "Once the air attack fails, the combat power of the Xiao family's army will definitely be greatly reduced. ”。
"Yes, big brother, Grandma's move is obvious, she just wants to invite you into the urn. At the same time, Lu Wu and Ying Zhao also came over and said in unison to Xiao Shizhu's jaw: "Why don't you wait for Lord Xia Xing to attack this place when the main army comes?"
"Do you see that mountain?" Xiao Shizhu twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and pointed to the mountain east of the distant pass, and said: "Although the terrain of this mountain is dangerous, it is not more than a hundred zhang high, as long as you take this mountain, you can bombard the pass with a tiger squat cannon condescendingly on the top of the mountain." ”。
"But Grandma intends to wait for you here, and she must have strengthened the defense of Jinshan and Gongshan on the east and west sides of the pass. Lu Wu looked at him with a solemn face, and blurted out: "There are many high cliffs and steep cliffs in the mountains, and there are also mountains and ups and downs all around, and the sky is reckless, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is taken, it may not be easy." ”。
"So wait until nightfall. Xiao Shizhu continued to look at the distance from north to south and narrow, full of mountains and green clouds, and entered the mountain with its own scene, and said slowly to Ying Zhao: "Then it will be time for Wu Zhiqi to perform with you." The Heavenly Soul Army is not good at night fighting, and the bamboo forests that can be seen everywhere in the mountains are your best offensive cover, as long as you don't shoot and assassinate with a knife, you will naturally not be discovered by the grandma in the pass. ”。
"Yes, there are indeed about five hundred enemy troops stationed at the top of the hill. Wu Zhiqi walked slowly towards them from not far away, and said in his mouth: "Where did the tongue just go, and the defense is not invulnerable, the guards are basically only installed at the intersection of the mountain road." On the top of the mountain, there are more than ten acres of open land, and there are also bed crossbows. ”。
"Wu Zhiqi is getting more and more powerful, not only quietly scratching his tongue, but also finding out the terrain and enemy situation. Xiao Shizhu smiled at him and said generously: "If you take the mountain again tonight, you will be counted as the first credit on the day of the break." ”......
After nightfall, Xiao Jiajun quietly marched to the foot of the eastern side of the mountain and stopped, and after Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, Wu Zhiqi took his hundred and ten demon monkey soldiers and climbed up from those cliffs. On the rocky cliffs, strange rocks were stacked on top of each other, but it was difficult for the demon monkey soldiers, and in less than half a cup of tea, they went up to the top of the mountain. Under the cover of the dense bamboo forest, he quietly went around behind the guards guarding the road up the mountain, and used the assassination method of wiping his neck to eliminate the guards. Then Ying Zhao rushed to the top of the mountain with two hundred vanguards, and after a round with Wu Zhiqi, he divided the enemy troops stationed on the top of the mountain by dividing them by two.
Xiao Shizhu followed behind with hundreds of soldiers, carrying the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Machine Cannon and then came to the top of the mountain, frowning slightly and looking around at the enemy armor and weapons scattered all around, and muttered to himself in a deep voice: "It's really a little wrong, how did the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Soul Army become weaker." ”。
Wu Zhiqi shook his head from side to side, and said a little confused: "It seems that yes, today's Heavenly Soul Army has a very poor vigilance." ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there were fires halfway up the mountain. It's late winter and early spring, and it's still a bit dry. Along the way, you can see everywhere that the ground in the mountains is full of withered yellow bamboo leaves, like a yellow carpet spread on the mountain. In this mountain, not to mention the spring, there is not even a waterfall, except for the earth, stone and bamboo forest, it is still the earth, stone and bamboo forest.
The mountain fire borrows the wind, the wind helps the fire, the fire spreads endlessly, and the small half cup of tea is to connect the dots into a line, surround the entire mountain forest, cut off all the way down the mountain, and climb unscrupulously towards the top of the mountain.
"Big brother!" Ying Zhao saw the speed of the fire, and in a blink of an eye, he was only a few dozen zhang away from the top of the mountain, and seeing that everyone was about to be roasted, he shouted: "As you expected, it is indeed a fire attack!" Yu Bi gritted his teeth and stared at the mountain fire, and his eyes burst out with anger more poisonous than flames!
In addition to the Xiao Jiajun here, the Heavenly Soul Army led by Grandma is the Xiao Family's Army, and the Xiao Family's Army naturally won't pit its own people, who else could it be besides Grandma and her Heavenly Soul Army who lit the fire?
As he spoke, the mad flames continued to scurry around with the wind, devouring everything they passed, and the flames were a few feet closer to the top of the mountain!
"Don't panic, go and set up the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Cannon. Artillery bombardment was carried out on the defenders of Gongshan and the enemy troops at the pass. Xiao Shizhu was not frightened, raised his head and glanced at the sky on the bamboo forest, smiled confidently in his eyes, and said, "The fire attack of the horse face will be invalid soon." ”。
"Yes!" Ying replied, and led the soldiers to prepare.
Xiao Shizhu Wu Zhiqi also took his own demon monkey soldiers to cut down all the bamboos and shrubs within a radius of 15 zhang with the top of the mountain as the center, and dug a circular ravine at the edge of the top of the mountain to make a fire ditch.
A moment later, the Xiao family troops who were staying at the top of the mountain had already set up their artillery, ignoring the approaching mountain fire, and began an orderly artillery bombardment.
The cannon roared, and the cannonballs rained down, falling on the opposite side of Gongshan and the pass below the mountain, and the loud rumbling sound was then remembered, one after another, and there were a lot of screams.
And the horse-faced grandmother in the pass was humming a little song proudly a second ago, slowly tasting the tea in her hand.
She set up a bed crossbow and arranged hundreds of soldiers on both sides of the pass to defend, but she deliberately told the soldiers that after being caught by Xiao Shizhu, she must tell them that she was waiting for him at the pass with the bed crossbow, in order to lead Xiao Shizhu into the trap of being burned by the flames.
She expected that after Xiao Shizhu learned that there were many bed crossbows in the pass, she would definitely take them into the mountain or Gong Mountain first, and Xiao Shizhu went deep into the enemy territory, so it was impossible for Xiao Shizhu to take the rolling stone and the wood with her, and she couldn't take these two mountains. If she wants to use the Feather Folk Air Force, she will use her bed crossbow to greet the Feather Civilians. So she waited for Xiao Shizhu to take Jinshan or Gongshan, and then attacked it, in a vain attempt to burn Xiao Shizhu and his Xiao family army alive on the mountain with a big fire.
But she ignored one point, Xiao Shizhu did not have a rolling stone squirt wood, but there was a tiger squat cannon that could be fired in a curved way, and it was rebuilt by Lai Yueqi, and the firing range was increased from the original 150 zhang to 300 zhang, and Xiao Shizhu would not be stupid enough to take all the Xiao family troops and go to the top of Jinshan or Gongshan Mountain. Even if Grandma's strategy succeeded, those who were trapped on the top of the mountain by the fire and burned to death were nothing more than a small part of the Xiao family's army.
When the explosion sounded, the smug expression on Grandma's face froze instantly, and as the room shook from side to side, it turned into consternation.
Grandma was stunned for a few seconds, dropped the teacup in her hand, got up and rushed out of the house, and stood on the wall of the pass. Then I saw that the surrounding dust was flying, explosions broke out, most of the arrow towers were in ruins, half of the city gate buildings had collapsed, and the brick and tile beams were on fire one after another in the explosion. Many of the bed crossbows set up in the pass were also turned into countless sawdust under the attack of cannonballs.
In the thick smoke, the Heavenly Soul Army could be seen everywhere with panicked faces, scattering and fleeing in all directions, dodging the cannonballs falling from the sky. But when you look up at the sky, you can't see half of the feather people.
"Where's the air raid?" Grandma shouted angrily.
One of the surviving soldiers ran towards her, pointed to the entrance to the east of the pass, and shouted, "It's the shelling from the top of the mountain." ”。
Seeing the Heavenly Soul Army fall one by one in the explosion, Grandma gritted her teeth and turned her head to look to the east angrily, but after seeing the fire raging on the mountain, she said to herself in a daze: "How is it possible? Under the siege of such a big mountain fire, the Xiao family army was not burned to death?"
Taking advantage of the chaos in the pass, Aoki quietly came to the south of the pass with more than 100 Xiao family troops. And Lu Wu took another Xiao family army to the north of the pass, intending to give Wuhui Pass a north-south attack.
In addition to carrying a lot of fire dragons out of the water, these two armies also carried well-made ox-tendon slingshots and bamboo*, each of which was more than a foot long and the thickness of a fist, like a cannon battle.
This is the killer weapon prepared by Lai Yueqi for Xiao Xiao's army, which is improved according to *; not to mention that it can speed up the march by carrying light, and the explosion range is not small, the only flaw is that the power is a little weak.
But Xiao Shizhu is a modern human soul, and after recalling the plot of the TV series he watched when he was in the world, he came up with a perfect way to solve the problem of not being very powerful. He tied them together, and then threw them at the enemy's heads.
I saw that these Xiao family soldiers were divided into twenty rows, standing not far in front of the pass, the shield bearers squatted in front of the team, using their shields to protect themselves and their partners behind them, followed by gunners armed with thunderbolts, responsible for dealing with the enemy troops guarding in front of the pass. The ten rows of soldiers at the back came out of the water with fire dragons in their hands and aimed at the walls of the pass. And in the middle, there are soldiers with slingshots.
If it was daytime, when there was no chaos in the pass, the Heavenly Soul Army inside would definitely be inexplicable; I wonder if the Xiao family army came with a slingshot to shoot birds?
Soon, when the fire dragon flew out of the water and flew towards the city wall of Guankou, those Xiao family soldiers who were sandwiched in the middle of the team also coincidentally pulled out the cow tendon slingshot in their hands and aimed at the towers and battlements on the city wall. It's just that they don't have stones in their hands, but three or five bamboos tied together*, and the leads have been lit.
Xiao Jiajun did not rush to let go, but waited for the lead on his head to burn two-thirds of the way, then let go of his hand, and put the leather bands that were pulled apart.
In an instant, the * exploded in the air, the sound of the short continuous explosion was deafening, and from the * explosion burst out of the sand and small pieces of iron, flying sideways with death in all directions, and they were already scattered and fled, dodging the Heavenly Soul Army that kept falling shells on the top of the mountain, and could no longer find a safe corner. Many enemy soldiers were directly hit by several * at the same time, and ended up in a blur of flesh and blood.
One * is not too powerful, but three or five together to explode that lethality is extraordinary, coupled with the fire dragon out of the water one after another bombardment, so that the city wall of the pass has been overwhelmed, there are a lot of cracks on the wall, quickly spread around, and gradually collapse one by one.
The unlucky grandmother was about to organize a defense, and her body swayed violently from side to side, and the wall under her feet also collapsed. Caught off guard, she stumbled to her feet, and fell to the ground on her back. Before she could get up, the city wall beneath her began to crumble into countless broken bricks, like a body without a skeleton, suddenly collapsing.
In the midst of the dust, Grandma's body fell suddenly with countless rubble and rubble.
In a panic, Grandma glanced at entering the mountain, but after seeing that the mountain was still full of fire, she was also a little relieved. At least in this way, it can also burn a lot of Xiao Jiajun.
But then, she also saw that in the night sky, dark clouds gathered above her head, condensed, and slowly swirled into a vortex. Thunder and lightning like a silver dragon tumbling among the dark clouds, reflecting the black night sky from dark to bright.
It looks like a big storm is coming.
Before Grandma had time to tighten her heart, she had already slammed on the ground, and her back fell on a long stone, which made Grandma snort in pain, and then she turned her head and fainted.
A trail of blood, oozing from the corner of his mouth.
