Chapter Twenty-Three: Ten Thousand Arrows

The fire box crossbow is different from the bed crossbow that Li Pu had come into contact with before. In a sense, the firebox crossbow is more like a hot weapon.

The "fire chamber" is actually a firing device, which is fired with gunpowder as the driving force, so there is no problem of the crossbowman's physical exhaustion. Theoretically, as long as there is enough gunpowder, it can be fired all the time, and this impetus is much more powerful than manpower!

The arrows attached to the firebox crossbow are generally tied with a small bamboo barrel filled with gunpowder to increase the range and destructive power of the arrows. If the economy allows, small metal pieces can also be tied to the rod in batches, so that the arrow can remain stable in flight.

There is another one, which is more expensive and more powerful. It is on the basis of the former that the arrows of the bow and crossbow are also tied with incendiary or explosives, and once they hit the target, these "warheads" will burn violently or even explode.

And at present, this Ten Thousand Arrows God Machine Array is using the last one, the most expensive and powerful "rocket".

Since a "fire compartment" carries about two hundred rockets, there is no need to expect how accurate it is. However, this does not matter, the purpose of developing this kind of firebox crossbow, which can be called the "weapon of mass destruction in ancient wars", is not to strike with precision at all, but to cover the strike.

A covering strike is an indiscriminate pouring of coverage over the target of the attack at the time of attack, whether the target is a building or vegetation, a dead thing or a living thing, or even whether it is friend or foe! Once this kind of attack begins, it will not be finished until the intended target is completely destroyed!

This time, the army led by the fourth general, Pang Han, brought a total of 300 firebox crossbows, and each firebox crossbow could fire 200 rockets at the same time! If the 300 firebox crossbows were fired at the same time, it would be 60,000 rockets.

The target of the fire box crossbow is the hundreds of naked training human bodies that are gathered together!

When 60,000 rockets were flying rapidly in the air, in fact, these naked human bodies were all sensitive. But the problem is, they seem to be performing some kind of ritual, so none of the naked human bodies have the ability to escape, not even dodge!

And so, these 60,000 rockets did their job perfectly: they hit the target and exploded violently on the target!

"Whew, whew!"

"Bang! bang!"

The raging fire burned out of control, and from time to time it was accompanied by a violent explosion, and the sound was extremely huge.

Although the naked human body is strong, it is still flesh and blood after all. Its predecessor was a human body, but it had been refined by a demon.

Since it is still flesh and blood, it can be ignited.

The stench of being burned suddenly spread, and the red training bodies began to convulse, spasm, and let out a low howl.

But they still stand where they are, and they won't leave until the ritual is complete.

How powerful are tens of thousands of rockets? Even if there is no burning and exploding, it is impossible to withstand tens of thousands of blows if only a purely physical attack is considered!

Soon, the area where the Chilian human body gathered was heavily covered by countless rockets, and under the repeated explosion and bombardment, all the Chilian human bodies were completely exploded and torn apart, turning into a pile of flesh and blood spread on the ground. And these flesh and blood did not last long, under the continued bombardment, the piles of flesh and blood were further turned into minced meat, and then the flesh and bones were burned, and all the blood evaporated, and the once strong naked human body was all turned into fine char.

The cold night breeze blew, and was immediately roasted into hot air by the extremely high temperature of the place, and the charcoal ash on the surface of the coke was swept up by the hot wind and lifted in the air, still flickering with the light of the stars, which was their last light.

The ground was also scorched by fire. Some of the places that were most heavily bombarded by the rockets were even blasted into several craters of varying depths.

The red embroidered shoes are gone, perhaps long since been destroyed by rockets.

However, in a pothole the size of a basin, a turquoise glass bead was still flashing with a faint blue light.

The rumbling thunder-like sound under the ground also subsided, and it seemed that it was also shocked by the earth-shattering power of this Ten Thousand Arrows God Array, and had to lie down.

“...... Is it over?" Han Dongshuang slowly let go of the hands covering his ears and whispered.

"It's supposed to be over. It seems that we should not be killed! What demons and monsters, what masters of the house, in the face of such an overwhelming weapon, it is not worth mentioning at all. Ge Hongwen said with emotion.

Li Pu was one step ahead of Ge Han and the others, and he also discovered the fourth general Pang Han and his army one step earlier, so he changed direction one step earlier and lurked on the side of the Ten Thousand Arrows Divine Machine Array.

As a traverser, it's not that he hasn't seen the power of hot weapons, but it's all seen in movies and TV, and it's completely different from the feeling of experiencing it up close and personal now. Although the thermal weapons of the modern earth may be more powerful, in terms of the depth of the impression, it is more direct and shocking to experience it personally.

"Sentry out of the ranks!"

With Pang Han's order, the three horsemen quickly dispatched, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the scorched earth.

Fortunately, Ge Hong heard the opportunity quickly, and before Pang Han gave the order, he pulled Han Dongshuang and left the only way for the sentinels, otherwise the two would definitely be discovered by the sentinels. Judging from Pang Han's resolute and resolute style, he probably won't listen to any explanation at all, and will directly execute the two as demons and the same party.

The sentry quickly completed the investigation and immediately returned to report the situation to Pang Hanyu.

"The engineer battalion is out!"

Hundreds of well-equipped sappers responded immediately, and in less than half a minute, they lined up in two teams and appeared in front of Pang Han.

"You know what you're going to do, so I'll say more. Let's go. ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the engineer battalion trotted all the way to the scorched land, and after a quick and orderly division of labor, everyone began to dig down!

The glass bead was originally exposed on the surface of the pit, and when this group of sappers came, I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, it actually extinguished the light. The solid ground beneath it seemed to turn into a quagmire at this moment, and it slowly sank into the ground.

......

"Master, can we ...... now?"

"Don't worry, it's not time yet. The old man in the green robe shook his head slowly, and said softly, "You three remember, we only need to get a drop of blood from the monster underground, and we can't fight." If you can't do anything, you don't need to be reluctant, just retreat on your own, I believe Pang Han can't stop me. Try not to clash with the officers and soldiers under Pang Han when you retreat, now is not the time for my Chixia Sect and Jiedu to completely tear their faces. ”

"The disciple can save it. The three of them said in unison.

The old man in the green robe paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Even if the backup from the sect is in danger, you can't go to help. ”

"This ......" The three disciples looked at their master hesitantly, all a little incredulous.
