Chapter 4688: Rockets for Crossbows and Flying Stones
Obviously, the wooden armored machinemen on the opposite side also discovered these burning rockets and hundreds of bolide-like arrows in the Jin army's formation, even from a hundred steps away, even across three or five rows of heavily armed halberdiers.
The soldiers and soldiers could also see clearly. Correspondingly, a rapid whistle sounded in the direction of these wooden armored robots, which seemed to come from the body of the wooden armored robots. Where the whistle was,
It was a wooden armored machine man standing in the back of the center, about fifty steps away from the shield in the front row.
Zhu Xiuzhi's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Thirty arrows in the center, volley at the whistle-blowing wooden armor machine man, follow my arrows!"
As he spoke, he turned the arrow and pointed it directly at the wooden armored machine man who was making the whistle, because he could see clearly that the machine man had not had time to lift up the big wooden shield in his hand.
As soon as Zhu Xiuzhi loosened his fingers, he heard a "swish" sound, and a fist-sized flame was like a bolide. Under the load of this arrow, it went straight towards the wooden armored machine man who was making the whistle, without missing a beat.
Leaning, it shot directly towards his chest.
More than thirty rockets followed closely and shot at the wooden machine man. All the archers, like Zhu Xiuzhi, almost no longer made any subsequent actions after the arrow was shot.
The big bow in his hand was swinging and drooping. Everyone was looking forward to the sight of the wooden armored robot turning into a huge burning pile of wood in an instant after more than thirty rockets hit the target.
However, the expected scene of flames rising into the sky did not appear. From Zhu Xiuzhi's arrow, when it hit the wooden armored machine man, it was like hitting a defeated enemy. Even the arrow did not penetrate.
The wooden armored machine man's body was nailed to his body, but it hit the wet cowhide that the wooden armored machine man was wearing. This cowhide was also smeared with a lot of yellow dung, and even
There were some white maggots crawling around on it, which was extremely disgusting.
However, despite being disgusting, it was extremely effective. After the rocket hit the dung-smeared cowhide, not only could it not penetrate the skin, but even the sparks were extinguished in an instant. More than thirty arrows fell on it.
Under this wooden armored mechanism man, the arrow that was burning just now could only emit wisps of clear smoke, but this wooden armored mechanism man, covered in dung-wet cowhide, still stood proudly motionless.
The wooden armored machine man's head turned and looked in the direction of the arrow. This expressionless wooden head seemed to Zhu Xiuzhi to have a mocking smile at the moment, and it quickly raised its head.
There was no big wooden shield hanging on this arm. Instead, two repeating crossbows were placed, each with ten arrows, pointing directly in the direction of Zhu Xiuzhi and the archers.
Zhu Xiuzhi finally reacted and shouted: "Everyone, move quickly." When he said the first word, he lunged forward, rolled forward and disappeared into the rolling dust.
, because his rich battlefield experience made him understand that within a hundred steps, there is a powerful crossbow range, and even if he ran ten steps back, he would not be able to dodge. And this wooden armored mecha man used direct aim shooting,
It's not an ordinary lob shot. If you're half a step too slow, your life may be lost.
As Zhu Xiuzhi suddenly lunged forward, the shield bearers behind him quickly stood beside the archers with their shields on their backs, just like before, and stepped back together, using this conventional method of blocking arrows.
, but this time it was of no use.
The sound of "ta" and "ta" when the crossbow is fired is endless, and the unique roaring sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air, as well as the terrifying sound of piercing the flesh and breaking wood when it hits the human body or the shield, is almost astonishing.
At the same moment, they were shot by six to eight stone crossbows from a distance of seventy or eighty steps. Even if a shield was held in front of them, it was of no avail. Not to mention, most of these shields were still held above their heads, ready to defend themselves.
What about the lob?
Zhu Xiuzhi could feel the salty and hot liquid spraying on his back and neck. It was the blood of his comrades. He didn't care to look back and continued to move forward quickly, rolling and crawling.
He could even hear Xiao Linzi and his personal guards screaming from behind: "Brother Xiuzhi, save..."
At the same time as this sound came out, there was another sound of a crossbow arrow entering the body. Xiao Linzi let out a muffled groan, and then the sound of throwing himself on the ground was heard no more.
There were tears in Zhu Xiuzhi's eyes. He didn't need to look back, he could know what was happening next, but he understood one thing better. Only by living can he fight back and take revenge. Thinking of this, he tightly grasped the gun in his hand.
Bow, crawling forward faster.
Fu Hongzhi's roar sounded from thirty steps behind: "Throw the pole, throw the stone, knock down these wooden armored robots, quickly!"
In front of Fu Hongzhi, at a position of more than 20 steps, none of the more than 30 archers who were standing just now were still standing. Together with the shield bearers, more than 50 people on the ground had become corpses.
Blood flowed everywhere, and some people were even shot through the chest and abdomen, their intestines flowed out, their eyes were wide open, and they died in a miserable state, while the remaining living people were crawling on the ground like Zhu Xiuzhi, avoiding and returning.
He continued to shoot the crossbow bolts into the smoke and dust, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Behind Fu Hongzhi, six or seven wheelbarrows were quickly pushed forward. Each of these carts contained a large bamboo with the branches and leaves cut off. On the top of the big bamboo, there was a small nest containing a piece of three-dimensional bamboo.
The stone that weighs four kilograms and is as big as your head, isn't it the mini trebuchet commonly used on the battlefield - the throwing rod?
These throwing poles were pulled down and bent by four or five sergeants with ropes. Then, under the chants of everyone, they suddenly let go. Six or seven stones flew up into the air and were thrown directly at the seven in front.
A wooden armor machine man, especially one with three stones, hit the whistler in the middle.
In front of these wooden armored robots, several large wooden rafts suddenly rose up. The auxiliary soldiers in front of the wooden armored robots had already prepared them. When the rockets attacked, these wooden rafts were not used because
Wet cow hides smeared with dung water are enough to prevent fire, but when such arrows and rocks attack, these rafts come in handy.
With a few "dong" and "pop" sounds, two stones were directly blocked by the wooden raft, and several screams sounded from the direction of the wooden armored machine man. It should be that the falling stones hit the nearby sergeant, and another stone
The block was unbiased and hit the left arm of the whistling wooden armor machine man who was firing the crossbow. The repeating crossbow was immediately smashed to pieces, and even the left arm was damaged.
Like a person's broken arm, it hangs straight down and can no longer be lifted up. ()
