"Woo..." A dull and lengthy horn buzzed from the slave army's camp. Under the night, 1,500 big birds waved their strong and powerful wings and soared into the sky. The sky above the camp was surging. Violent and turbulent air currents.
For a moment, the sky was filled with dust, flying sand and rocks, like an all-devouring sandstorm sweeping over...
Luo De mobilized nearly half of its air power, and all the big birds in the air carried 10 slave warriors armed with scimitars on their backs. They would serve as a surprise airborne force and pass over the tall and strong walls of Jiye City from the air. Enter the city.
At the same time, a ground force of about 80,000 people has been assembled. After the airborne troops break into the city, they will launch a general attack on Jiye City.
Luo De's intention is obvious, that is, to cooperate internally and externally to capture Jiye City in one fell swoop!
A fire spread from the city wall of Jiye City. It was an early warning siren of an incoming air attack. Among the raging fire were busy and hurried figures. Under the urging of the generals and subordinates, the soldiers ran into their respective battles. post.
As bursts of mechanical sounds resounded through the city, 500 heavy crossbows on the city wall were ready to fire, and the long and sharp crossbows pointed at the airborne troops sweeping in like dark clouds.
This heavy-duty crossbow is about 2 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. It is made of extremely tough cork. Its bow string is made of elastic animal ligaments and long tendons. Each bow string is enough to hold an adult Feida. The starman's arms are as thick as each other, and the arrow clusters it carries are about 5 meters long and 8 centimeters in diameter. The front end is composed of the head of a spear, which is simply a large spear.
But it is a cluster of arrows.
This heavy-duty crossbow is placed on a wooden platform that can be raised and lowered freely, and the shooting angle and elevation can be adjusted arbitrarily. It is controlled by four soldiers, two of whom pull the string, one who fires, and one who is responsible for loading the arrow cluster. Its range reaches An astonishing 350 meters! Ground and air units designed to attack group charges are extremely powerful.
In the blink of an eye, Luo De's airborne troops had flown to the airspace about 300 meters away from the city wall. They were like a sweeping black cloud pressing toward Jiye City. At this moment, it had entered the heavy crossbows. range of shooting range.
"put!"
As the sharp sword in the general's hand fell down, 500 heavy crossbows were fired. In an instant, 500 spear-like arrow clusters roared into the sky in a dense formation.
The silence only lasted for a few seconds. After the silence, screams pierced the night sky. The swarming birds were hit one after another, and the sharp and thick arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the bodies of the big birds. , they didn't have time to flutter a few times before they fell headlong to the ground with more than 10 slave warriors on them.
"put!"
The general's angry shouts shook the city wall, and a second wave of arrows came as expected. After the sound of piercing and cutting muscles, another batch of big birds fell to the ground.
After two waves of attacks, about 900 of the 1,500 invading birds were shot down, but 600 still broke through the defense line of the heavy crossbows and entered their shooting blind spots.
At this moment, these 600 big birds are about 50 meters away from the city wall. In a few seconds, they will tear through the entire defense line of Jiye City and break into the sky above the city. At that time, the 6,000 strange soldiers on their backs will attack Jiye City like divine soldiers. The city was in turmoil.
Once the city gate is lost, the 80,000 ground troops outside Jiye City will pour into the city like a tide, and there will no longer be any suspense about the city's defeat.
But the defenders of Jiye City did not give Lot's airborne troops any chance. At this time, they were only 20 meters away from the city wall. The slave warriors on their backs could even see the stretching buildings and soldiers constantly shuttled in the city. But they also saw thousands of incoming iron balls as big as millstones flying out of the city...
The iron balls were so dark that they looked like demons from a devil's cave under the light of the fire, reflecting the aura of death.
This iron ball is made of black iron and weighs
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It weighs 300 kilograms, and has sharp conical spikes evenly distributed on its surface. The spikes are about 1 meter long and about 5 centimeters in diameter at the bottom. From a distance, they look like round hedgehogs.
But they are indestructible, giant iron balls with spikes, capable of destroying everything in their path.
The iron ball is thrown by a "door"-shaped device. In the middle of the "door"-shaped device is a huge waist-thick bowstring. The middle of the bowstring is connected to a bag about 5 meters in diameter. The bag contains this An iron ball with a conical spike.
In addition, there are more than 20 thick ropes tied to the "door" frames on both sides of the "door"-shaped equipment. The other ends of the ropes are connected to large birds. These large birds provide mobility for the equipment. It can move freely to any attacking area.
In addition, there are more than 50 thick ropes tied to the back end of the bag, and the other end of the rope is also connected to more than 50 large birds. These large birds provide elasticity for the device, which is the force that propels the iron ball to fly at high speed. .
The "gate"-shaped device and nearly a hundred large birds together form a giant mobile slingshot, with more than 300 in number. They can quickly maneuver to any airspace they want to attack, and the iron balls they launch are their indestructible weapons.
Faced with the sudden attack of the iron ball formation, the airborne troops had no time to make any evasive action. 600 big birds were like a dense swarm of locusts and collided head-on with the iron ball formation...
Screams pierced the sky in the dusk. Wherever the iron ball array passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and corpses exploded. The big birds were either pierced through the body by the iron ball, or were struck by dense conical spikes. Cut into two halves.
The huge impact force and the sharp spikes caused all the big birds in the queue to fly vertically. The iron balls were like heavy bulldozers, crushing everything in their path.
As the broken bodies of the big birds continued to roll under the impact of the iron balls, the slave warriors on their backs were either harvested by the iron balls or fell like raindrops.
The crashes and screams gathered into a prelude to death, and blood and feathers became the paint and brushes in the rolling death, depicting tragic and bloody patterns wantonly...
After the attack, the sky was in chaos. The 600 big birds and the 6,000 slave warriors on their backs instantly turned into piles of feathers fluttering in the wind and mutilated corpses, against the backdrop of blood. They all fell to the ground.
However, the iron ball array did not slow down. They continued to move forward at high speed in the form of a parabola. It was not until a loud noise like earth shaking and mountain shaking was heard from a distance of more than 500 meters that they stopped.
The iron ball formation hit the front of the 80,000-strong ground force waiting for an opportunity to attack the city. Hundreds of huge craters were smashed into the ground, and the splashed dust enveloped the ground force like a ghost.
Everyone's face showed great shock and fear of imminent death. They looked at the heavy iron balls with spikes in the pit, their faces were ashen, and their livers and gallbladders were broken.
"spread!"
A shout cut through the dead and bloody night. The person who made this shout was Rod, who was standing on top of the transport aircraft. He realized that the danger was coming, because a huge iron ball was smashed next to him. , only a few meters away.
"Spread out, quickly!"
As he finished speaking, a group of large black birds were reflected in Luo De's eyes. They dragged the "door"-shaped equipment like a layer of dark clouds covering the sky. They jumped up from the wall of Jiye City with murderous intent and charged forward. Refers to the ground troops.
The slave soldiers in the ground troops were stunned by the sight before them. They never imagined that just now they were bystanders of the massacre, but in the blink of an eye they became the target of attack.
As the huge bow strings in the middle of the "door"-shaped device were pulled to full length by the big birds, under the night, the giant iron balls with long nails that could destroy everything emitted cold death. The colors are like the scythe in the hand of death, about to be slashed away
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Down.
The slave warriors reacted and fled around desperately. The ground was like a pot of boiling water, churning and surging and spreading in all directions...
As the low and trembling sound of bowstrings came from the air, the iron balls were bounced out by the "door"-shaped device. In the night, they were like meteorites falling from the sky with an unstoppable force. The slave warriors running wildly on the ground smashed...
The sound of the iron ball cutting the air formed a strange whistling sound from far to near. The slave warriors fled in panic. When this sound rang in their ears, no matter how hard they ran, it was useless.
Like pieces of paper, the slave warriors were knocked into the air in piles by the rapidly falling iron balls. Amidst the screams that tore through the sky, their heads were missing and their corpses were flying everywhere.
The moment the iron ball hit the ground, it directly tore the ground into deep and long pits. The sand and gravel stirred up were like huge waves that swallowed up the fleeing people nearby.
However, the iron balls did not stop. With their huge kinetic energy, they kept thundering forward. The slave warriors who had no time to escape were crushed to the ground and either became a puddle of meat patties or were crushed by the sharp cone-shaped long Pinned into a hedgehog.
What's even more deadly is that with the flexible maneuvers of the big birds, these giant slingshots can change the direction, angle and target of the attack at will. The commander on their back will pick up weapons with a larger attack surface and more lethality according to the battlefield situation. Strong goals.
In just a few minutes, more than 300 giant slingshots hovering in the sky launched more than 500 giant iron balls to the ground. They projected them in batches. After a batch of projections were completed, they quickly returned, replenished and then dropped again. fighting.
For a time, the sky became an extremely busy "relay race", while the ground became a human purgatory with flesh and blood flying everywhere and corpses strewn everywhere.
The ground was already miserable. In front of the more than 500 large pits were more than 500 bloody pits, extending to the far end. Blood flowed into rivers in the pits, pieces of meat floated, and corpses lay and piled up on both sides of the pits. Chengqiu.
The bloody killing quickly woke up the unattacked slave troops. According to the order issued by Lot immediately, a group of about 5,000 crossbowmen fired the first wave of arrows at the slingshot troops in the air.
The murderous slingshot troops were disrupted by the dense rain of arrows. After dropping the corpses of more than 300 big birds, they dragged the "door"-shaped equipment and flew rapidly to high altitude, trying to pass through. height to offset the range of the arrow cluster.
But Lot did not stop there. He dispatched only 1,500 big birds, which were all the air power of this slave army.
The big birds each carry five crossbowmen on their backs.
1,500 big birds rushed into the queue of slingshot troops in an instant, and the crossbowmen on their backs fired at the latter at close range.
Although the slingshot troops have an absolute advantage in the number of big birds, they are not aerial mounted archery troops, and the birds are not equipped with crossbowmen on their backs.
For them, if they want to attack the mobile and flexible aerial cavalry troops, it is like a cannon hitting flies. Although it is powerful, it is of no use. The most important thing is that the distance between the two sides is too close, and the slingshot troops cannot use their fists at all.
After a brief confrontation, the slingshot troops retreated after losing half of their strength. They fled towards Jiye City in panic...
Although the slingshot troops suffered some losses, they were insignificant compared with the achievements they achieved.
In this battle, Lot's airborne troops carrying 15,000 slave warriors were destroyed at the top of the city. One-third of the ground troops were also wiped out, with nearly 30,000 casualties.
Under the night, the battlefield was a mess, and the smell of blood was mixed with the sound of constant wailing, like the sound of ghosts spreading under Jiye City.
In the sky with dark clouds hanging low, dense blackbirds appeared again. They pierced the ground like sharp arrows and started their gluttonous feast...
