Chapter 2686 Self-propelled mecha reaches close range
Following Zhang Gang's order, these wooden armor mechanisms, which were about forty steps apart, raised the second arm on the right, which was about five feet long and half a foot thick.
, a six-stone crossbow is mounted on it, and on the crossbow arm is a short spear about three feet long. The difference is that the tip of this spear is not a sharp three-sided spike, but a
It's an hook-shaped thing similar to an iron anchor. At the end of the pointed end, there are two reverse claw hooks extending backwards. Looking at it makes people feel chilly.
The thirty-step crossbow was raised and pointed at the large shields lined up on the opponent's side. A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Gang's lips. The red flag was raised again, and then fell hard: "Shoot!"
The infantrymen behind the wooden armor machine shouted in unison: "Shoot, shoot, shoot!"
The almost uniform sound of crossbows firing sounded at the same time. Thirty short spears with undercuts quickly penetrated towards the shields on the opposite side. Everyone could see clearly that the tails of these short spears were actually
Dragging a long rope, and the car carried by the wooden armored machine man actually had a large bundle of long ropes on it. Just behind the big crossbow, the short spear hit it hard.
Those shields and these long ropes were also lifted up in the air for more than two hundred steps. Suddenly, dozens of long ropes appeared on the battlefield, standing in the air, just like the ropes of the suspension bridges between canyons.
Thirty large shields of the Jin army were hit hard by these short spears. The pointed ends were deeply pierced into the shield surface, while the undercuts were firmly opened, hooking the words painted on the shields.
Those fierce and evil-headed elephants, accompanied by the roars of the Yan Army soldiers, had been waiting behind the car. The sergeants pulling the ropes, in groups of ten, pulled up the ropes with all their strength like a tug-of-war.
Come, and with their movements, those large shields that were originally stable were suddenly pulled up and flew up. They shook and hit from left to right, bringing down several nearby shields. The shield formation that was waiting just now,
Almost instantly, more than twenty gaps of one or two meters wide were made, and the situation behind the gap could be seen at a glance.
Behind the shields of the Jin army, there were densely packed archers standing. Everyone was crouching on the ground with their bows and arrows ready. Obviously, they wanted to use the protection of the large shields to hide themselves. Once the enemy approached, they would get up.
Lifting in an arc towards the sky, thousands of bows and arrows were scattered among the enemy troops who were attacking the shield formation in the form of a rain of arrows that covered the sky.
Just opening more than 20 gaps like this, these Jin army archers were obviously a little surprised. Many of them stood up unconsciously and looked at the situation on the opposite side. Obviously, they were lurking like this just now, and they didn't know that there was a person outside.
What was going on? Many people looked surprised when they saw these wooden-armored robots that they had never seen before. They even stood up unconsciously and opened their eyes wide, trying to take a clear look at the situation on the other side.
The officers of the Jin army shouted and shouted, and asked the sergeants to squat down and step back again. Then with a wave of their hands, dozens of shield bearers holding large shields rushed forward, picked up the large shields, and blocked the soldiers.
In the broken space, a shield wall was erected again. Except for dozens of toppled and broken shields scattered on the ground in front of the formation, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Gang smiled and said: "How about it, General Duan? This first round of my attack has allowed you to find out the reality of the enemy's formation. Compared with the national division who had to sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers just now, this deal is much more cost-effective."
Bar."
Duan Hui laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the first attack of the crossbow was to draw the shield with a hook. But I also wonder why the Jin army kept so many archers behind the shield. Do they think they can rely on bows and arrows?
Have you restrained these wooden robots?"
Zhang Gang said coldly: "The range of bows and arrows is only 70 to 100 steps. They probably thought that our wooden armor mechanism would take the initiative to fight. It's ridiculous! I have such sophisticated machinery, so I can't use it.
All the bows, crossbows and arrows can completely suppress the bows and arrows outside their range, so why bother to actively attack their shield array?"
Duan Hui nodded: "Zhang Shangshu is very right. We have plenty of soldiers and horses here to attack the formation, but the enemy is cunning and will lay various traps. If we cannot break the enemy's formation, we must clearly see the situation inside their formation."
, if you rush forward hastily, you may fall into the enemy's trap like the previous attacks, and lose the lives of your soldiers in vain."
Zhang Gang smiled slightly, picked up the red flag in his left hand, waved it twice more, and said in a deep voice: "The second team of the wooden armor mechanism, move forward, join the first team, a hundred steps away from the enemy, fire with the powerful crossbow!"
Following Zhang Gang's order, another thirty-step wooden armor mechanism was pushed to the front. The thirty wooden armors of the first team now slowly descended from the wooden cart chassis, like a
The giant walked forward step by step.
Duan Hui couldn't close his mouth when he saw it: "What, what's going on? How come these wooden armored robots can still walk on their own without being pushed by a cart?"
Zhang Gang said with a smile: "If it can only be pushed by carts, it wouldn't be called a wooden armor machine. I might as well just get hundreds of large carts with various crossbows mounted on them. The wooden armor mechanism needs to be able to
Just walk on your own."
Duan Hui's expression softened a little, but was still full of surprise: "But, if you walk to the front like this, aren't you afraid that the lower body will be unstable and fall easily?"
Zhang Gang smiled and pointed at the steps of the wooden armored machine man in front of him, and said: "General Duan, look at it!"
I saw that the first batch of 30-step wooden armor machine men had already reached a position about a hundred steps in front of the Jin army's shield formation. All the wooden armors raised their right legs high and used a much larger weight than when they were walking just now.
With so much energy, he stepped hard onto the ground. Duan Hui could see it clearly. At the moment when the wooden leg was raised high, three sharp thorns clearly stretched out from the sole of the foot, piercing it hard.
ground.
Duan Hui suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is like this. Use the steel thorns on the soles of your feet to pierce the ground, and then extend the barbs to grab the ground. It is similar to the situation when a heavy baggage truck drops a wooden anchor when it stops. In this way, the wooden armor mechanism
People can be fixed in place and cannot move at all."
Zhang Gang nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, just like you said, stay in place, no matter the slightest difference. The wooden armored mechanists, the first team, the second team, let me fully fire the crossbows and shoot through the enemy's shield!"
All the wooden armored mechanists raised their left and right inner arms, and the two large crossbows pointed directly forward, and the seven-round crossbow arms were equipped with crossbow arrows more than a foot long. These six-stone
A powerful crossbow, a seven-shot crossbow arm, and sixty large crossbows were pointed at the thousands of large shields on the ten-mile-wide front. Zhang Gang's eyes flashed with excitement: "Beifu Army, let me see how you can stop me.
Crossbow Storm!”
Following his words, the yellow flag in his right hand fell fiercely, along with the switch of the six-stone crossbow held high by the sixty mechas.
