"So we don't rely on brute force to hunt wild beasts, but we set up traps in advance and use chariots to surround them, and finally use crossbows to kill them. Our beast-hunting chariot formation is actually a variation of crossbows and chariots. Law"
"So that's it." Huang Ming and Xiao Hua both understood.
Although martial arts cultivators have kung fu and internal energy, they are still mortals after all because they don't know magic, so they have to use tools to hunt large and terrifying beasts.
"Okay, let's go down and take a look."
Xiao Hua and Huang Ming were very interested and followed Rambo down to the square.
The crossbow cart is nothing special. It is just a giant crossbow cart with eight wheels that can be pushed. It is nothing more than three overlapping bows. Each bow has two strings and can fire three giant crossbow arrows at the same time.
But the other type of chariot is strange. It's a bit like the siege vehicles used to attack gates in ancient times. It has fully enclosed wheels and needs to be pushed by someone inside. The outside of the vehicle is also covered with a layer of bronze armor.
But unlike the siege vehicle, this tank does not have a siege ram. There is a rectangular shooting hole on each side of the vehicle body, and the entire vehicle body except the shooting hole is filled with sharp spears.
At first glance, the chariot looks like a spiny turtle shell, or a sea urchin.
When he arrived at the sidelines, Rambo waved to the elders standing in front of the chariot and shouted, "Get ready," and then he saw the elders and other martial arts cultivators getting into the vehicle with a "swish, swish, swish". Everyone Everyone.
"Use the bow and crossbow chariot as courage, and set up a double arrow attack formation."
Rambo roared, and the old man took command personally. He probably wanted Huang Ming and Xiao Hua to open their eyes and also be embarrassed by the way.
"Boom, boom, boom..." After a burst of sound, the martial arts cultivators pushed the chariot into a formation.
This formation has four crossbow carts in the center. The sea urchin carts are arranged with one in the first row, two in the second row, and three in the third row. Two are placed on the left and right of the crossbow cart. Equilateral triangle.
Just as the formation was set up, Rambo yelled again: "Change formation, circular defense."
So the martial arts practitioners pushing the chariot began to change again.
"Boom, boom, boom", the sea urchin chariots on the left and right quickly dispersed, surrounding the four crossbow chariots in the center, forming a circular defensive formation.
"Huh? It looks fun," Huang Ming muttered.
"Well, it looks like it does, but I don't know if it's useful?" Xiao Hua also muttered.
At this moment, Rambo began to change its formation again: "Flying Goose Formation, Transformed into a Wild Goose Formation."
"Boom, boom, boom..." There was another burst of wheels.
The four crossbow chariots remained on the spot, while the sea urchin chariots moved forward in two rows on the left and right with the crossbow chariots as the center, forming a large Chinese character.
The wild goose formation is a comprehensive formation that uses bows and arrows as an attack method, and can be used both offensively and defensively.
"Damn it, I really want to see how they kill the beasts now."
The more Huang Ming watched, the more excited he became. This large group of people pushing the chariot was so powerful that he couldn't help but want to try it himself.
Xiao Hua didn't say anything. He also thought it was quite new, but he wasn't excited enough to try it himself.
After changing a few more formations, the drill was over, and Rambo walked up to the two of them.
"How's it going? Is our hunting vehicle formation okay?" Rambo smiled.
"Yes, yes, Master Ailan, can you send one to us to play with?"
Huang Ming became childlike and regarded the chariot as a toy.
"This? Well, the chariot is a group of twenty people. I'm afraid it can't be operated by just two people. If you really want to use it, why not join us, hehe..." Rambo smiled meaningfully.
"Okay, if you want to join, just join. Anyway, we are just going to kill the wild beasts. It's okay." Huang Ming agreed immediately.
He just wanted to play with this sea urchin chariot, but he couldn't help it. Curiosity is human nature, and he felt itchy.
"Okay, since you two are willing to join, then join us for the drill tomorrow. In this way, I will ask Elder Hong to pick a team to cooperate with you. After you get familiar with it, how about one becoming the vehicle commander and the other the captain?"
"Can I still be an official? Okay, that will definitely work." Huang Ming agreed again, but he didn't expect that he could still be an official.
"Okay, since you two are willing to join, let me tell everyone."
Rambo returned to the field and first spoke to the elders in charge of each chariot and asked them to call people out of the vehicle to assemble. After the gathering, he began to announce loudly.
"Everyone, I now announce that these two mountain Taoist friends have officially joined our Shanyinmen's animal hunting operation next month. Starting from tomorrow, the two will practice the car formation with us. Please work together and learn from each other."
So from that day on, Xiao Hua and Huang Ming began to learn the art of transformation of the beast-hunting chariot formation with these senior martial arts cultivators from the Silver Silver Sect, and they had a great time.
Time flies and it is already more than twenty days later.
That evening, Xiao Hua and Huang Ming were chatting in the guest room after finishing the day's chariot drill. Rambo suddenly sent someone to call them to the meeting hall of Shanyinmen.
Except for Elder Hong, who was enforcing the law, all other elders were present in the hall, and everyone looked anxious.
"Fellow Taoists, I'm really sorry for calling you here to discuss matters so late. However, due to special circumstances, we have to disturb you. This is the case. Our hunting plan must be carried out in advance and we have to set off early tomorrow morning."
"You want to advance? Yes, it doesn't matter, but what do you mean by special circumstances?"
Huang Ming asked. Looking at the faces of these people, they knew something must have happened.
"Oh, that's it. I received a message from Feiniao before, saying that our camp in Maomaoqing, the Savage Beast Continent, was attacked by brutal beasts. I just asked Elder Hong to bring people to support, but they were unable to carry them because they were in a hurry. Heavy equipment, so the originally planned hunting operation can only be brought forward.”
"Mao Maoqing's camp was attacked by wild beasts?" Xiao Hua touched his bald head.
"Why does this place name sound like a village in my hometown? I asked Master Lan, what's going on with this Maomaoqing camp? Didn't it mean that the Savage Beast Continent is not suitable for human beings to survive? Why do you still have a camp?"
"Oh, our camp is just behind the Savage Gate and does not go deep into the Savage Continent."
"Set behind the Wilderness Gate but not deep enough?"
Xiao Hua touched his bald head again. He only knew that the Savage Gate was a canyon leading to the Savage Continent, but how long was this canyon? He didn't know what the environment was like, so he didn't continue to ask.
Huang Ming didn't care. He and Xiao Hua had already learned the method of changing sea urchin chariots and car formations, and they were eager to go to the Savage Beast Continent to find a brutal beast to try it out.
So the discussion ended, and early the next morning, after the team was assembled, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua took the sea urchin car assigned to them and hit the road.
Yes, you heard it right, sitting rather than pushing.
