Chapter 25: Beast Tide Siege 1
The first to emerge from the 100,000 mountains was a black wolf more than a man tall, and roughly speaking, there were more than a thousand of them.
These wild wolves have green light in their eyes, their big open mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and saliva constantly flowing from the corners of their mouths, they have obviously been hungry for a long time, if these thousand hungry wolves rush into Shuanghe City, more than 500 people don't know if they can fill their stomachs.
"When the wild wolf enters within 300 meters, the Zhuge crossbow shoots in three sections, after the first stage is shot, retreats from the gap in the array, quickly loads the crossbow arrows, and when the first stage retreats, the second stage shoots, so alternate shooting, to ensure that the arrow rain continues, do not let the wild wolves enter the white line of two hundred meters, and within three minutes, destroy all the wild wolves for me, can you do it?" Chen Jianghong shouted loudly.
"Yes!" There are now a hundred Praetorian Guards and eighty reserves in Twin Rivers, each wearing Goethe armor that protects the whole body, and each of them has a Zhuge repeater, standing in a neat three-row queue.
"Ready!" Chen Jianghong shouted.
The sergeants in the first row aimed their Zhuge crossbows at the wild wolves that were rushing quickly.
"Launch!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" Six hundred stainless steel crossbow arrows flew out in an instant, like a rain of arrows covering the sky, fiercely piercing the wolves.
More than a hundred wild wolves were shot by crossbow arrows, some of them were directly pierced through the chest by crossbow arrows, and died instantly, while some were shot in the thighs and staggered to the ground, and then they were trampled into meat cakes by the wild wolves behind, and some wild wolves, with three or four crossbow arrows on their bodies, still rushed forward frantically.
"Launch, launch, launch......" Chen Jianghong commanded loudly.
The three-stage shooting method is found by Chen Jianghong from the earth, and it is the most suitable method for large-scale use of Zhuge crossbow warfare, he has already handed over this method to the sergeants, and has practiced more than a dozen times, and now in the real actual combat, some sergeants are still a little in a hurry, but under the command of Chen Jianghong, the overall formation is not chaotic, and the shooting rhythm is not chaotic, and rows of arrows rain with bursts of air whistling, flying towards the wild wolves.
The terrible roar of the wild wolves resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, and patches of wild wolves were killed by crossbow arrows, and bright red blood was sprinkled all over the earth.
Within three minutes, the sergeants on the city wall shot a total of ten times, and a total of 6,000 crossbow arrows were shot with 600 crossbow arrows at a time, and more than 1,000 wild wolves were covered with dense crossbow arrows, and all of them fell to the ground.
Heaven and earth were silent, and there was a burst of cheers in Shuanghe City.
"Zhuge Repeater is too powerful!"
"Yes, the rain of arrows covering the sky is continuous, and the prince is really a military genius, and he has thought of such a good way to ensure that the shooting of wild wolves does not stop for a moment. ”
"It's good to follow the prince, originally we were all slaves with nothing, but now we not only have our own big house, but also fifty acres of land, I am ready to wait for this beast tide to come, I will bring all the relatives of my hometown, so that they can all become the prince's people. ”
"Me too, I want to call my relatives to enjoy a piece of happiness, not only is there no other fief here, so many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the prince let us work, and also give commissions, God, the entire Yan country, there is no such a good lord, may the sky bless the prince and live a long life." ”
In addition to the heavily armed sergeants on the city wall, there were more than 200 men, all of whom were armed with improvised weapons and volunteered to stand on the city wall to guard their homes.
Almost all the men in Shuanghe City went up to the city wall, and the women and children were not idle, they prepared food and boiled water near the city wall, and when the men on the city wall were hungry, they sent them up, and there were some stronger women on the side of the city wall, they prepared stretchers and medicines, ready to rescue the wounded at any time, and now I heard the men on the city wall say that the prince led them to easily repel the first wave of wild beasts, and the women and children jumped and jumped with joy.
The heavily armed sergeants were also a little happy, but Chen Jianghong's expression was grim, his brows were furrowed, and he always felt that there was a great crisis, and it was about to come.
According to the past practice, at the end of each month, there will be five waves of beasts attacking the city, one wave is stronger than the other, the first wave of wild wolves is eliminated by Zhuge Lian's crossbow, what kind of beast will be the next wave?
"The second wave was 800 large brown bears two meters tall. Akuda shouted.
Chen Jianghong took a look with the Sky Eye Technique and found that the second wave of brown bears were all strong, muscular, and vigorous hair, and they were the type with rough skin and thick flesh at first glance.
The speed of the big brown bear was obviously slower than that of the wild wolf, but when it ran, its limbs hit the ground, and the earth slammed.
After the big brown bear entered the range of the Zhuge repeater, Chen Jianghong shouted: "Launch!"
The sergeant in the first row pulled the trigger of the repeater, and in an instant, six hundred crossbow arrows were fired at the big brown bear.
"Poof! poof......" The stainless steel crossbow arrows shot at the big brown bear, but they couldn't shoot through the thick bear skin of the big brown bear, and they slipped to the ground one after another, and only a few crossbow arrows directly hit the eyes of the brown bear, and only one or two brown bears were killed.
"Ahh A tall and thin man, banging on the city wall, said nervously.
"Ma Pole, I'm afraid of a fart, let those stinky brown bears come, we have prepared so many boulders and rolling logs on the city wall, I don't believe you can't kill them. An old gambler, who was tall but had not been selected for the Praetorian Guard or the reserve because he was too old, yelled at the emaciated man with angry eyes and disdain.
"Don't worry, these brown bears don't want to get close to our walls. "A teacher 'Xu Yang', who was dressed in a Confucian robe and had a good demeanor, said confidently.
"Does the gentleman know any inside information?" asked the old gambler, who was very respectful of the reader, and clenched his fists.
"Uncle, please wait and see, our prince is clever, and he will definitely be able to lead us to easily repel all the enemies who come to attack. Mr. Jiaoshu didn't say much, but also took out a wine gourd from his arms, took a sip of wine, and saw that the old gambler was swallowing saliva, so he sent the wine gourd to the old gambler and said, "Uncle, please drink." ”
As soon as the old gambler took the wine, lifted it up, and was pouring it into his mouth, he saw that the eight hundred brown bears, who had just crossed the two hundred meters of white line, and rushed to the front, and the more than 100 big brown bears that had fallen into the deep pit dug in advance.
Between 50 meters and 200 meters from the city wall, dense pits were dug, and the bottom of each pit was erected, and more than a dozen sharp iron drills were more than three meters long.
"Puff knock! puff knock...... "The big brown bears were running with all their might, but they couldn't hold their feet at all, and fell into a pit more than five meters deep one after another.
"Poof! poof...... "The sharp big iron drill instantly penetrated the big brown bear, and the big brown bear fell down from behind, and after a while, a big iron drill was worn by five or six brown bears, and the blood flowed out, and it didn't take long to fill the big pit.
"Ahem...... All right...... Ahem...... Okay, that's great......" The old gambler had just taken a big sip of wine, and when he saw that the big brown bear had died in a large area, he was so excited that he wanted to roar, but he was choked and coughed, and his face was red, and he kept applauding.
In front of the big brown bear was a dense set of traps, and the big brown bear that had fallen into the trap in front of it let out a burst of mournful screams before dying, but I don't know why? The big brown bear behind it seemed to be not afraid of death, ignoring the traps all over the ground, and still rushed forward one after another.
"Puff knock! puff knock...... "There are many big brown bears falling into the trap.
Looking at the big brown bear, no matter what was in front of him, he rushed forward desperately, Chen Jianghong's eyes flashed, thoughtfully, what kind of force is driving these crazy beasts to rush forward desperately, what is in the 100,000 mountains? Why does a small beast tide break out at the end of every month, and a big beast tide every year?
When the beast tide erupts, why are they all five waves, not four waves and not six waves, are these all coincidences? Or are they all determined by some mysterious being? and why are they determined like this?
Chen Jianghong's heart was full of questions, and the vast and boundless 100,000 mountains suddenly became mysterious.
