Nanming Engineer

Chapter 118

Ma Xintian received the order with fists in his hands, came to a large cowhide drum standing beside him, picked up two thick wooden sticks wrapped with red silk, calmed down, raised his arms, shouted, and put the wooden sticks in his hands Hit hard on the heavy drum.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of thick cowhide drums sounded like bursts of spring thunder, overwhelming all sounds on the battlefield. The people in Wanshou Valley were excited when they heard the sound, while the officers and soldiers were frightened by it.

The sound of the drum was inspiring, and Min Zhuang, who was carrying the oar and shield, suddenly became more courageous, bursting out with strength, shouting chant, and moving forward with firm steps.

Zu Bian was carrying the oar shield, and he was already close to the bird formation less than forty steps away. The heavy shield in front of him was pitted by lead bullets. The cypress board on the surface had many holes. The pine wood was also damaged in a few places. Although it hadn't reached the point of being shot through, if there were a few more rounds of Tori's shooting, the scull shield might not be able to hold on.

The shooting of a thousand-rod bird system is not a tickle toy after all. No matter how strong a shield is, it will be pierced under concentrated fire. No matter how close the distance is, the scull shield can no longer guarantee that the people hiding behind will not Wounded by bullets.

"Drop the shield! Drop the shield! Keep this distance!" Zubian shouted loudly, and the people around him passed his words on one after another. Hundreds of people with shields and shields stopped at the same time.

"Where's the Mountain Destroying Crossbow? Start shooting!" Zu Bian rushed behind him and shouted.

The warriors in white robes had already held their crossbows and were standing behind the scull shield, waiting for an order. As soon as he roared, the white-robed soldiers raised their mountain-destroying crossbows at the same time, throwing them at a 45-degree angle. The mountain crossbows were lined up in a horizontal row, and the handle of the crossbow was pulled down. In a short breath, 150 crossbow arrows turned into a rain of arrows and rushed forward all over the sky.

The mountain-destroying crossbow is manually pulled. The power of the crossbow depends entirely on the arm to pull the handle and pull the string. Therefore, although the speed of fire is fast, the power is not very powerful. The effective range is very short, and the distance of forty steps is already the limit of lethality. , and another projectile, although it used a little potential energy, the effect would not be very good if it encountered an opponent in armor.

But the Bird Commander on the opposite side was only wearing mandarin duck combat uniforms, or summer civilian clothes, not even cotton armor, and a red tasseled felt hat on his head, which had almost no protective effect, so when the arrows in his pocket hit him Suddenly, there was a panic.

"It's a crossbow! A barbarian crossbow is coming!"

Someone with sharp eyes shouted loudly. The officers and soldiers looked up and saw that a heavy rain of arrows was falling from above their heads. The cold light of the arrows was clearly visible. They were poisonous arrowheads soaked in feces!
The standard weapons of the Bird Commander are a bird gun, a cupping tank, a bullet bag, and a waist knife, but there is no shield. Facing the arrow attack, there is no other way but to hide and seek cover.

It's a pity that the mouth of the valley here is empty, and it's all flat ground. Where can I find cover?Amidst the screams of the bird commanders, thousands of arrows fell down, hitting the bodies of many people who were not protected by armor, blood splashed, screams continued, and a layer of blood mist rose from the smoke.

The commanders in the first few rows immediately fell down a large piece, and the remaining few who were lucky also rushed backwards, while those in the rear rows retreated in a panic, panicked. , No one cares about reloading and shooting.

The most important thing is to save your life, first avoid this rain of arrows.

Standing in the first row, Mr. Qian, the leader of the team, had two arrows stuck in his forehead. The arrows penetrated into his skull, and only the feathers at the end of the arrows trembled slightly in the wind. His eyes were wide open, and the pupils were full of incredible colors. meeting?How can I die here?Aren't the natives some natives who only know how to chop firewood?

Seeing Mr. Qian's body crashing to the ground in the rain of arrows, the bird commander soldiers who witnessed Shangguan's death became even more panicked. They yelled, lost the bird commander, and retreated recklessly, crowding in the narrow Taniguchi open space, Desperately hide his body behind his colleagues.

Niu Sicheng was protected by the shields of the soldiers, his face was pale and expressionless. He watched the front team being shot into pigs by crossbow arrows. He was at a loss, except for shouting "shoot!" Nothing else.

One general is incompetent, and thousands of troops are killed.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the officers and soldiers, Zu Bian only felt that the shooting of the bird in front of him stopped, and immediately stood up with the oar shield on his shoulders, and shouted: "Quick, quick! Get up for me, and move forward quickly! Take advantage of this Get closer, get closer!"

The stopped shield wall stood up again, hundreds of people chanted, gritted their teeth and carried the heavy oar shield, and followed the pace of Zubian, speeding up, at a speed that was a few minutes faster than before, sharply Press forward.

The mountain-destroying crossbow has a box of ten arrows, and the arrow box has to be replaced when all shots are exhausted. The white-robed soldiers did not change it, and hung the crossbow arrows back to their waists. Follow Ludun closely and move on.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the officers and soldiers, the shield wall approached smoothly. Except for a few scattered gunshots, there was no obstacle. Soon, the distance between the two sides was further shortened, and it was already close to the distance of twenty steps.

At this time, the officers, soldiers and birds have figured out that the crossbow arrows on the opposite side seem to be only one round, and they disappear after shooting. Although I don’t understand why, this is a good thing. Calm down a little.

"Array, array, shoot, shoot!"

The subordinates yelled hoarsely at the top of their lungs, and they could no longer go back. The last person had already stuck to the rocks at the mouth of the valley, and what was behind was the pile of rocks blocking the valley. There is no way out.

The so-called swarms of victorious battles and swarms of defeated battles are the true portrayal of the officers and soldiers of this era. If a crowd in chaos wants to restore an orderly formation, it must be the ability of a strong army with hundreds of battles. Niu Sicheng's team, In any case, it has not reached this height.

The chaotic officers and soldiers barely stood in a row. They couldn't form rows or rows. They all mixed together in a mixed manner. They raised their guns and stuffed the gunpowder and lead with all their strength. They stirred it up with the gun for a while, and then lifted it up. put.

"boom!"

A bird's chest exploded, its hands were covered with flowers, covered in blood, it rolled on the ground and screamed, its eyes turned into two blood holes, and the miserable cry made other birds' hands tremble with fear.

"Leave him alone! Let the fuck shoot, shoot, or everyone will die here!" Waving the waist knife, the generals shouted frantically.

At this moment, the scull shield wall, which had reached a distance of nearly twenty steps, stopped again.

The deafening shouts of "kill the enemy" behind the scull shield also stopped briefly, and a strange silence appeared between the two armies.

Niu Sicheng was a little dumbfounded amidst the sparse bird's voice, he couldn't figure out what the gang of barbarians on the opposite side were going to do.

Wang Huan's people didn't let him think for long. The next moment, more than 100 bamboo tubes were thrown out from behind the scull shield. The matchlocks on the bamboo tubes "squeaked" and sparked, and arcs were drawn in the air. From a distance of ten steps, he hit him head-on.

What is this?Big firecrackers?
The generals were shocked at the beginning, but after seeing it clearly, they were a little relieved, it is not a crossbow arrow, this bamboo tube looks only one foot long, how much gunpowder can it hold?At worst, it can scare people.

The bamboo tube clattered down among the officers and soldiers, and the bird commanders instinctively avoided it. They looked at the smoking bamboo tube at their feet strangely, and if there were good intentions, they wanted to reach out and pick it up.

At this moment, countless explosions were heard that were comparable to red cannons. The inconspicuous bamboo tubes exploded violently. The shock wave of yellow explosives spread in all directions, and black mushroom clouds rose into the sky. Converging into a black cloud, iron nails and gravel flew around like lead bullets, penetrating flesh and blood, and tearing apart bodies. Human limbs, internal organs, and blood from the skulls flew in all directions with the explosion.

Thousands of Bird Command team, like being swallowed by a giant black beast, shrouded in black mist, red blood is constantly flashing in the black, no one can escape, no one can escape, as long as within the range of the explosion, All turned into a mass of meat paste.
