Chapter 142: Occupy the barracks and build a nest
About ten miles out of the city, there is a bare hill, and a barracks has been built on the top of the mountain, which looks more like a bandit cottage from a distance.
At this time, the vulture king landed in the barracks and was engaged in a battle with the soldiers.
"Resist, don't mess around!"
A captain methodically directs the soldiers into battle.
Hundreds of soldiers quickly surrounded the vulture king, but instead of attacking it, it seemed that he tried to drive it away.
Obviously, the provocation of the soldiers aroused the anger of the vulture king, not only did not mean to fly away, but on the contrary, they flapped their wings and rushed indiscriminately, Rao was that the soldiers were well-equipped and could not resist the vulture king's giant mouth attack, and it didn't take long for several soldiers to die on the spot.
Xiao Yao and the three of them naturally couldn't enter the barracks to check the situation, so they had no choice but to hide at a commanding height outside the barracks and watch.
"That big bird is crazy, what are you doing in the barracks?" Zhou Shun said in surprise.
After observing for a moment, Xiao Yao grinned and said, "It wants to turn the barracks into a lair, so it won't leave." ”
"No, it's too overbearing. Smacking his tongue, Zhou Shun said in disbelief.
"It's strange, this barracks shouldn't be built on the top of a mountain, it is estimated that it can't find a suitable place to live, so it chose here. Xiao Yao explained.
Nodding, Zhou Shun asked, "What should we do now?"
After hesitating, Xiao Yao said in a deep voice: "The time has dragged on, and the casualties caused must be not small, let's go down and try to communicate and see if we can get in." After speaking, the three of them walked over slowly.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The guards outside the barracks saw Xiao Yao and the others coming over, with the big knife across their chests and glaring angrily.
"Little brother, we're here to help you get rid of that big bird. Xiao Yao smiled.
The guard soldier raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense with me, get out of here!"
Frowning, Xiao Yao suppressed his anger and said lightly: "Do you think I'm joking? You immediately go inside and report the captain, and say that we have a way to get rid of that big bird." ”
Stunned, the guard soldiers carefully looked at the three of them, and there were some drums in their hearts, and when they were hesitating, an army of hundreds of people ran on the mountain road, and the leader of the team was wearing a helmet and armor, a burly figure, and a bronze curved bow behind him.
"Don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
The guards hurriedly pushed Xiao Yao and the others aside, and immediately ordered the two guards to open the door.
Xiao Yao looked at this team curiously, because he found that these soldiers were all archers, and what shocked him the most was that two giant crossbow carts were slowly pushed behind the team, just the crossbow arrows were as thick as thighs, and the arrows were made of black flash.
A moment later, the team entered the barracks, and saw that it was preparing to shoot the vulture king, but Xiao Yao's request was directly rejected, and the guards ignored it at all.
Xiao Yao had no choice but to buy a standing ticket for the guards for dozens of taels of silver, looking from the outside of the barracks, and if the situation was not good, he could respond quickly.
As the battle continued, the team of archers began to line up under the captain's command, unloaded their bows, and immediately pulled their bowstrings and aimed them at the vulture king.
On the other side, two giant crossbow carts also stopped within effective range, and more than two dozen soldiers stirred ropes to pull the crossbow strings apart.
"It was whimsical for them to think that they would be able to shoot the Vulture King this way, and after a while they knew how terrifying this guy's defenses were. Leng Ye said disdainfully.
Xiao Yao focused all his attention on the ballista, this kind of weapon with great lethality is rare in Dongzhou, it is estimated that it is a product left over from the National War, and he admires the hidden edge of this commander in his heart.
"If you provoke the vulture king in a while, don't rush over and leave it to me to deal with. Xiao Yao instructed.
The two nodded, even if Xiao Yao didn't say it, they didn't plan to rush over, after all, they didn't have the strength of Mr. Fire, although they thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, because Xiao Yao was even more terrifying than the big bird.
Everything was ready, the soldiers surrounding the vulture king quickly withdrew, and the captain of the archer let out a loud shout, spreading the bowstring in his hand "whoosh", and as the sharp arrows flew out, hundreds of sharp arrows mixed with the sound of breaking wind shot at the vulture king......
"Jingle Bell~"
"Woo ......"
Hundreds of sharp arrows were shot at the vulture king, and suddenly sparks splashed as if hitting the rocks, and the vulture king shook his wings, and threw the sharp arrows on the ground without care, and then looked up to the sky with a proud eagle.
Unable to break through the vulture king's defenses, the archer captain didn't care, obviously it was expected, but the vulture king's provocation made him angry.
"Load!" ordered the archer captain.
As soon as these words were spoken, the archers drew a round-headed arrow from the quiver behind them, and then drew the bowstring.
This strangely shaped arrow immediately attracted Xiao Yao's attention, he had also lived in the barracks, and he also knew a lot about the weapons used by the army, but this time it was an eye-opener, and he really couldn't figure out what damage an arrow without a sharp arrow could do to the vulture king, could it be a tickle for it?
"Put!"
At this moment, the captain of the archers gave the order, and saw several arrows fired straight at the vulture king......
"Bang ......"
"Smack......
The round-headed arrow landed on the vulture king, and white smoke rose and exploded......
"Wow~"
The vulture king let out an angry eagle chirp, and when the white smoke cleared, Xiao Yao was shocked, only to see the feathers of the vulture king, whose defensive power was terrifying, scattered all over the ground, and a large amount of blood spilled from his bare neck.
Gasping, Xiao Yao was shocked, what kind of material are these arrows made of, why are they so powerful, this is simply incredible, no wonder Jiao Nan said that the Star Sea Army is first-class, and this hand alone is completely invincible in the Dongzhou Army.
The vulture king was also frightened by the blow, and flapped his wings and flew into the air, while two giant crossbows pierced the air and shot out at lightning speed......
"Bang~"
After two loud bangs, it was like a continuous red rain in the sky, and countless fist-sized corpses "crackled" and fell, and a smell of blood wafted into the air.
The vulture king, who can be called a divine beast in the Heavenly Fire Domain, is gone?
Xiao Yao was dumbfounded, petrified in place.
"Hmph, I can't do it!"
Glancing at the bloody field, the captain of the archer had a swaggering expression, obviously satisfied with this result.
At the end of the battle, the soldiers quickly formed up and stood majestically in the field, waiting for the order to evacuate.
The captain of the archer talked a few words with the captain of the barracks, and was about to give the order to evacuate, when he suddenly remembered that when he entered the barracks, he saw three young men with suspicious appearances, and immediately turned his head to look out the door.
Trembling, Xiao Yao screamed, and ran away with Leng Ye and Zhou Shun......
