Chapter 64: Chengwei, Just One Hit!
The First Emperor vomited blood, and many people in the palace were startled, and countless people were hurrying over, their faces were pale, as if the sky had fallen.
However, this news has not been leaked for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil.
Nowadays, the first thing to do is to invite the imperial doctor to check the physical condition of the first emperor.
Just ask for no big deal!
But at this messy moment, no one noticed that the blood-stained heavenly book on the case had a glimmer of light, as if it had a sense, and it turned another page in the direction of the East China Sea......
……
On the other side, Langya Terrace.
In the sky, two hundred crossbow arrows were whizzing and falling.
Without waiting for these crossbow arrows to fully land, there was another "buzz", the sound of the crossbow strings vibrating, and the arm-open crossbow had already begun to fire the second round of crossbow arrows.
At the same time, the two hundred Qin soldiers who were in charge of operating the crossbow did not care what the effect of the first round of crossbow arrows they had just fired was.
They work in pairs, brush the crossbow arm lower, one stretches out one foot and steps on it, and then grabs the crossbow string in unison and pushes his waist hard.
With a "squeak", the crossbow has also been rewound. Then one person took the whole crossbow and the other person picked up a bolt weighing one tael, placed it in the trough, adjusted the angle, and pulled the suspension knife again, that is, the trigger.
The sound of the bowstring vibrating again, and the crossbow fired a second round of bolts. At this time, the arm tension crossbow has completed the third round of winding!
In this situation, don't talk about Hu Hai, even Li Chao, who is used to seeing crossbowmen firing, feels relaxed and happy.
"The arm of my guard is eight stones, and the crossbow is twelve, and the cavalry can shoot three shots in a hundred zhang time!" He spoke proudly.
In the Qin period, one stone was about sixty catties in later generations, and the eight-stone crossbow meant that its tension reached four hundred and eighty catties, two hundred and forty kilograms. Even for a crossbow, it's ridiculously big.
"Maybe slay the demons?" Hu Hai's gaze fell on the white Jiao's body. Because the distance is more than 100 zhang, plus there are scattered grass and trees blocking it, it is impossible to see the state of the white Jiao from here, Hu Hai is slightly anxious.
"My Great Qin's crossbow, the arm can reach a hundred zhang, and the foot can reach a hundred and fifty zhang!" Li Chao didn't answer Hu Hai's question from the front, his eyes looked at the white Jiao in the rain of arrows with burning eyes.
Although it is a Jiao, it is a legendary spiritual creature, but this white Jiao is slender, only five zhang long, although it has a light spirit that is not like ordinary things, but it is lost in the stability of the spirit animal.
Obviously, this is still a young Jiao!
"Within fifty zhang, the arm can penetrate two layers of heavy armor, and the arm can penetrate three layers!" Li Chao added meaningfully.
"In this way, the big thing is decided!" Hu Hai stroked his palms and laughed.
He also saw that there was a young Jiao on the top of the stage, and this Jiao was less than thirty zhang away from the Qin Army's crossbow array at this time.
The so-called heavy armor is bronze armor, and the total weight of a bronze armor reaches an average, that is, thirty catties, and three pieces of heavy armor, the total weight is almost one stone.
In the past, Wei Wushu was wearing three layers of heavy armor, although he was a foot soldier, he could compete with the chariot head-on!
It is conceivable how perverted the protection of the three-layer heavy armor is. However, such protection, in front of the Great Qin Crossbow Array, is like a chicken, and it can be easily broken!
This demon is so slender and light, can the scales on his body be comparable to Wei Wushu's triple armor?
With a smug smile on his face, he watched from a distance as the crossbow bolts completely covered the range of several zhang around the demon Jiao like rain, but the demon Jiao was still coiled in place, as if he had not figured out the situation at all, and the smile on Hu Hai's face was even stronger.
He didn't know where Fusu got this thing from, maybe when Fusu went to Chu this time, he had some contact with the remnants of Chudi, and then teamed up to concoct such a dragon.
Chu has always been very mysterious, and the legendary witch came from Yun Mengze, as well as various mountain ghosts, and even Gu worms. It's not surprising that a demon Jiao came out.
He subconsciously looked at Li Chao, but saw that Li Chao's face was slightly condensed.
"What happened?" Hu Hai opened his mouth puzzled.
"Something doesn't seem right!"
Li Chao's expression began to become serious: "The crossbowman has sent three arrows, but that demon doesn't seem to be injured!" ”
Hu Hai squinted his eyes and looked at the location of the demon Jiao, only to see that the crossbow arrows had already inserted the edge of the waterhole densely, and it looked like the waterhole had grown hair.
And the demon Jiao still stood on the edge of the waterhole in a dragon pan posture, and it didn't change in the slightest, but it was too far away for Hu Hai to tell if it was injured.
"How can the Captain of the Cavalry see it? Could it be that the Captain can see things beyond a hundred feet? He asked, confused.
The world view of the Qin period is still extremely simple, and the Qin people's perception of the world comes from what they have seen. When it comes to demon beasts, the bigger and stronger, big enough to swallow the sun and the moon, that is a divine object.
And the five-zhang long Jiao in front of him is big, and it is still far from the kind of Kunpeng and other strange beasts with wings stretched out for thousands of miles in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it looks similar to ordinary beasts, and even some mortal beasts are bigger than it.
For example, Li Si has reported many times that during the mausoleum of Emperor Xiushi, he dug up a big snake about ten zhang long and devoured the people.
In this way, although this Jiao is a spirit beast, it is extremely weak, and with the power of the Great Qin Crossbow Array, it is no problem to shoot it directly.
Why is Li Chao so nervous, as if he is facing a great enemy?
"I can't see that far."
Li Chao shook his head: "However, I know that I am in the army formation!" ”
"If this Jiao has been injured, the front army will continue to suppress it with crossbow arrows, and at the same time the soldiers will force forward!"
He spoke meaningfully: "The order I gave to the front army is to capture them alive!" ”
Hu Hai nodded clearly, he understood what Li Chao meant.
The first emperor ordered Hu Hai to behead Jiao, and wanted to sacrifice the sky with this demon, so this Jiao naturally could not die at the hands of Xiaobing.
Therefore, he could only shoot half to death by the crossbow array, and then report to the First Emperor, who ordered it to be beheaded by Hu Hai, or beheaded by the First Emperor himself.
This is the way of a minister.
However, at this time, since the front army is still in place, it seems that it is ready to continue to wind up, and there will be another wave, which shows that even if this Jiao is injured, it is not serious.
Hu Hai was slightly dazed.
Not to mention the stumbling, it is the arm of the crossbow within fifty zhang, and it can also penetrate two layers of heavy armor. At this time, the demon Jiao was only less than thirty zhang away from the crossbow array, and at such a distance, I am afraid that the three layers of heavy armor could also shoot through.
Even if the scales of the demon Jiao are as hard as gold and stone, at this distance, the gold and stone are shot through!
And this demon Jiao is not serious even if it is injured?
What is it made of?
Hu Hai was beyond his cognition, but Li Chao on the other side was still squinting at the white Jiao, and a clear cry sounded, full of anger, and Li Chao's face changed suddenly.
"Oh no, this demon has gone berserk!"
He let out a roar of rage: "Where is the bed crossbow?" ”
……
Li Chao is right, Xiaobai is already full of anger at this time!
The so-called Dao is simple, of course, it may also be lazy, Qin Tian gave Bai Jiao a single word as the name, and it was called Bai.
As for the ancient ape on Yunmeng Mountain who has learned boxing, it is Qing.
It's just that according to the customary title of later generations, a 'small' word was added. Otherwise, it would be slightly weird to call it 'white' alone.
For Xiaobai, today is just an ordinary day.
It was just a small white snake, still in its infancy. Even if he was ignited by Qin Tian and opened his spiritual wisdom, he was still a young Jiao, maintaining a heart like a child.
I don't know that I can call myself a 'spirit' now.
In the past few days, it has been staying on the top of Langya Terrace according to Qin Tian's instructions, and playing in the pool formed by water accumulation on the top of the platform. And there has always been an endless stream of human beings in the audience, bowing to it.
Children naturally don't hold grudges, Xiaobai has forgotten that when he was still a white snake, he was almost killed by Shaoduan and others, although he was a little wary of the villagers who came to worship Lingjiao in an endless stream, but he still remembered what Qin Tian said, "no harm and no fight".
Even though a team of strange people came to the top of Langya Terrace and looked murderous, Xiaobai only vigilantly coiled up, paid close attention to the other party's every move, and did not take the initiative to attack.
However, what I never expected was that the other party would attack it first!
Although those sharp weapons that fell from the sky did not shoot through Xiaobai's scales, they were enough to make it painful!
"Whew!"
It roared again, and by this time it had already exploded into ferocity, and its body suddenly jumped vertically, like a spring, and shot out!
There was a muffled sound of "boom", and in the midst of smoke and dust, it had already jumped over a distance of more than twenty zhang in one step, and landed heavily in front of the Qin army's military formation, with a pair of big green eyes with vertical pupils inside, looking at the Qin army at his feet.
And the Weiwei Army is worthy of being the strongest army in the world, although the soldiers are a little panicked when they suddenly face such a big behemoth at close range, but the movements in their hands are not slow.
"Hit!"
A rough order sounded instantly, and more than ten Changge stabbed at Xiao Bai fiercely, and the card soldiers holding shields in the front row were also hiding behind the shields, holding a shield with spikes and slamming into Xiao Bai fiercely, as if they wanted to squeeze Xiao Bai with their shields.
And Xiao Bai looked at all this indifferently, it looked down at more than a dozen brand soldiers approaching, and was about to crash into itself, when its tail suddenly moved.
"Woo" with a sharp roar, a fish-like three-tailed like a stream of fire swept by in an instant, the sound of "crackling" sounded, the card soldier padded cowhide in his hand, and the wooden shield inlaid with iron bars as the skeleton was instantly shattered, and more than ten figures flew out like meteors!
And the shattered shield fragments were also a burst of fire, and a Ge soldier was already about to stab the Changge in his hand into Xiao Bai's body at this time, but suddenly he felt a strong attack in the chest and abdomen.
There was a muffled "thump", his triple armor suddenly dented and shattered, a broken shield stuck in his armor upright, and the whole person staggered backwards.
With a "poof" sound, he fell directly into the muddy water, and before his body completely stopped, he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Figures flew, more than ten brand soldiers were swept out of more than ten zhang away by Xiaobai's blow, fortunately there was a shield buffer, and there was heavy armor protection on the body, although they were all seriously injured and vomited blood, but they still left their lives.
And Xiaobai was already like a tiger like a flock of sheep at this time, its body moved again, its slender body suddenly and slightly took off, and there was another muffled sound, mixed with screams and the sound of the crossbow machine shattering, it had jumped directly into the crossbowmen in the back row!
To put it mildly, he directly pressed several crossbowmen into the mud with his body, and with a flick of his claws, the heavy armor on the crossbowmen's bodies was torn at will like eggshells, and blood splattered, and they staggered back.
There was another sharp roar of "woo", and the tail of the Jiao like a flowing fire swept by, and more than 20 crossbowmen flew into the sky.
"Retreat!"
A roar sounded, it was the former army commander, the five hundred lord.
At this point, his eyes were already cracking!
He never expected that this demon would not move, and when it moved, it would be like a thunderbolt!
Five hundred guards, the strongest army in the world, are not its enemies!
Terrifying!
