The First Emperor vomited blood, and many people in the palace were startled. Countless people were rushing over, their faces as pale as if the sky had fallen.
However, this news has not been leaked yet to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil.
Now, the first thing to do is to invite the imperial doctor to check the physical condition of the First Emperor.
Just hope it’s okay!
But in this chaotic moment, no one noticed that the blood-stained book on the case had a faint light and disappeared, as if it was sensing, and another page was opened corresponding to the direction of the East China Sea...
…
On the other side, Langyatai.
In the sky, two hundred crossbow arrows were whizzing down.
Without waiting for these crossbow arrows to completely hit the ground, there was another "buzz" sound, the sound of the crossbow string vibrating, and the crossbow had already begun to fire the second round of crossbow arrows.
At the same time, the two hundred Qin soldiers responsible for operating the crossbows did not care about the effect of the first round of crossbows they had just fired.
Working in groups of two, they all lowered the arms of the crossbow, one person stretched out a foot to step on it, and then they all grabbed the crossbow string and straightened their waists.
Amidst the sound of "squeaking", the crossbow has also been re-strung. Then one person took advantage of the situation and picked up the entire crossbow, while the other person picked up a crossbow weighing one or two, placed it in the crossbow, adjusted the angle, and pulled the hanging knife again, that is, the trigger.
The sound of the bow string vibrating was heard again, and the crossbow was opened and the second round of crossbow arrows was fired. At this time, the arm-opening crossbow has completed the third round of winding!
Not to mention Hu Hai, even Li Chao, who was used to seeing crossbowmen firing, felt relaxed and happy at this scene.
"My guard's crossbow is worth eight stones when it is stretched out, and twelve stones when it is stretched out. The cavalry can fire three rounds within a hundred feet of galloping!" he said proudly.
In the Qin Dynasty, one stone weighed about 60 kilograms in later generations, and the eight-stone crossbow meant that its tension reached 480 kilograms or 240 kilograms. Even for a crossbow, it is already ridiculously large.
"Maybe it's possible to kill evil spirits?" Hu Hai's eyes fell on the white dragon. Since the distance was more than a hundred feet, and there were scattered vegetation blocking it, it was impossible to see the condition of the white dragon from here, and Hu Hai was slightly anxious.
"My Great Qin's crossbow can reach a hundred feet at arm's length, and a hundred and fifty feet at full stretch!" Li Chao did not answer Hu Hai's question directly. He looked at the white dragon in the rain of arrows with burning eyes.
Although it is a dragon, it is a legendary spiritual creature. However, this white dragon is slender and only five feet long. Although it has an agility that is not like ordinary things, it is not as stable as a spiritual beast.
Obviously, this is still a young dragon!
"Within fifty feet, an arm can penetrate two layers of heavy armor, and a stretched arm can penetrate three layers!" Li Chao added meaningfully.
"That's it, it's settled!" Hu Hai clapped his hands and laughed.
He also saw that there was a young dragon on the top of the stage, and the dragon was less than thirty feet away from the Qin army's crossbow formation.
The so-called heavy armor refers to bronze armor. The total weight of a suit of bronze armor reaches an average, which is thirty kilograms. Three pieces of heavy armor weigh a total of almost one stone.
In the past, Wei soldiers wore three layers of heavy armor. Although they were infantry, they could compete head-on with chariots!
One can imagine how abnormal the protective power of the three layers of heavy armor is. However, such protection was like a chicken in front of the Great Qin Crossbow Formation, easily broken!
This evil spirit is so slender and light, can the scales on its body compare to the triple armor of Wei Wushu?
With a smug smile on his face, he watched from a distance as the crossbow arrows completely covered the area several feet around the monster dragon like rain, but the monster dragon was still sitting there blankly, seemingly not understanding the situation at all. , the smile on Hu Hai's face became even brighter.
He didn't know where Fusu got this thing from. Perhaps when Fusu went to Chu Land, he came into contact with the elders of Chu Land, and then they joined forces to concoct such a dragon.
The Chu land has always been mysterious. Legend has it that witches come from Yunmengze, as well as various mountain ghosts and even poisonous insects. It's not surprising that a monster dragon appears.
He subconsciously looked at Li Chao, only to see Li Chao's expression slightly condensed.
"What happened?" Hu Hai asked in confusion.
"Something seems wrong!"
Li Chao's expression became serious: "The crossbowmen have fired three arrows, but the demon doesn't seem to be injured!"
Hu Hai was stunned. He squinted his eyes and looked at the location of the monster dragon. He saw that crossbow arrows had been inserted densely on the edge of the water pool, making it look like the water pool was covered with hair.
The monster dragon was still standing on the edge of the pool in a dragon's coil posture, without any change. It was just that it was too far away and Hu Hai couldn't tell whether it had been injured.
"How did the Cavalry Commander see it? Could it be that the Cavalry Commander could clearly see things a hundred feet away?" He asked doubtfully.
The world view of the Qin Dynasty was still extremely simple. The Qin people's understanding of the world came from what they had seen. When it comes to hardness, it is comparable to gold and stone. When it comes to monsters, the bigger they are, the more powerful they are. If they are big enough to swallow the sun and the moon, they are gods.
The five-foot-long dragon in front of us is huge. It is still far from the Kunpeng and other exotic beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which have wings spread out for thousands of miles. They look similar to ordinary beasts, or even larger than ordinary beasts. Bigger than it is.
For example, Li Si once reported many times that a large snake about ten feet long was dug up from the tomb of Emperor Xiu Shi and devoured civilians.
In this way, although this dragon is a spiritual beast, it is extremely weak. With the power of the Great Qin Crossbow Formation, it is no problem to shoot it to death directly.
Why is Li Chao so nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy?
"I can't see this far either."
Li Chao shook his head: "But I know the formation of my guard army!"
"If this dragon has been injured, the front army will continue to suppress it with crossbows and arrows, and at the same time, the troops will press forward!"
He spoke meaningfully: "My order to the front army is to capture them alive!"
Hu Hai nodded clearly, he understood what Li Chao meant.
The First Emperor ordered Hu Hai to kill the dragon and wanted to sacrifice it to the heaven, so naturally the dragon could not die in the hands of a soldier.
Therefore, they could only be shot half to death by the crossbow array, and then reported to the First Emperor, who ordered either Hu Hai to kill him, or the First Emperor to kill him personally.
This is the way to be a minister.
However, since the former army is still staying in place at this time, it seems that it is ready to continue winding up and another wave. It can be seen that even if the dragon is injured, it is not serious.
Hu Hai was slightly confused.
Not to mention stretching, even if the crossbow is held within fifty feet, it can penetrate two layers of heavy armor. At this time, the demon dragon is only thirty feet away from the crossbow array. At such a distance, I am afraid that even three layers of heavy armor can penetrate it.
Even though the scales of the monster dragon are as hard as gold and stone, at this distance, even gold and stone can be shot through!
And this monster dragon was not seriously injured even though it was injured?
What is it made of?
Hu Hai was beyond recognition, but Li Chao on the other side was still squinting his eyes to look at the white dragon. A clear cry of "Ouch!" sounded, full of anger, and Li Chao's expression suddenly changed. .
"No, this evil spirit has gone crazy!"
He roared suddenly: "Where is the bed crossbow?"
…
Li Chao was right, Xiao Bai was already filled with anger!
The so-called simplicity may also be due to laziness. Qin Tian gave Bai Jiao a single-character name, which he called Bai.
As for the ancient ape on Yunmeng Mountain who learned boxing, it was Qing.
It's just that the word 'small' was added in accordance with the customary name of later generations. Otherwise, it would be a little weird to call it 'white' alone.
For Xiaobai, today is just an ordinary day.
It was just a small white snake, still in its infancy. Even though he was enlightened by Qin Tian and opened his spiritual wisdom, he was still a young dragon, maintaining a mind like an innocent child.
I don't know that I can be called a 'spirit' now.
In the past few days, it has been staying on the top of Langyatai according to Qin Tian's instructions, playing in the pool formed by the accumulated water on the top of the platform. There was always an endless stream of people in the audience, paying homage to it.
Children naturally do not hold grudges. At this time, Xiao Bai has forgotten the experience of being almost killed by Young Duan and others when he was still a white snake. Although he is a little wary of the villagers who come to worship the spiritual dragon in an endless stream, he still remembers it. Qin Tian said "no harm, no fight."
Even though a group of strange people came to the top of Langyatai, and they looked murderous, Xiaobai just hunkered down vigilantly, paying close attention to each other's every move, and did not take the initiative to attack.
However, what he never expected was that the other party would attack it first!
Although those sharp weapons that fell from the sky did not penetrate Xiaobai's scales, they were enough to make him suffer unbearable pain!
"Ouch!"
It roared again, and at this time it had exploded with ferocity. Its body suddenly jumped up, like a spring, and electricity shot out!
With a muffled sound of "boom" and smoke and dust flying everywhere, it had jumped a full distance of more than twenty feet in one step and landed heavily in front of the Qin army's formation. It looked at it with a pair of big green eyes with vertical pupils. The Qin army at his feet.
The Weiwei Army is indeed the strongest army in the world. Although the soldiers were a little panicked by suddenly facing such a huge behemoth at close range, their movements were not slow.
"hit!"
A rough command sounded instantly, and more than a dozen Changge stabbed at Xiaobai fiercely. The card soldiers in the front row holding shields also hid behind the shields, holding up the spiked shields and fiercely aimed at him. Xiaobai bumped into him and seemed to want to squeeze Xiaobai with his shield.
Xiaobai watched all this indifferently. He looked down at a dozen famous soldiers approaching and about to hit him, and his tail suddenly moved.
There was a sharp roar of "Woo", and a fish-like three tails flashed past like flowing fire. There was a "crackling" sound. The wooden shields with cowhide padded in the hands of the soldiers and inlaid with iron bars as the skeleton shattered instantly, and ten The remaining figures flew out like shooting stars!
The fragments of the broken shield were also shot. A soldier was about to stab Xiaobai with the long sword in his hand, but suddenly he felt a powerful attack on his chest and abdomen.
There was a muffled "thud" sound, and his triple armor suddenly dented and shattered. A broken shield was stuck squarely in his armor, and he staggered backwards.
With a "pop" sound, he fell directly into the muddy water. Before his body came to a complete stop, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Shadows were flying, and more than a dozen famous soldiers were swept away more than ten feet by Xiaobai's blow. Fortunately, they were buffered by shields and protected by heavy armor. Although they were all seriously injured and vomiting blood, they still managed to survive.
At this time, Xiaobai was already like a tiger like a flock of sheep. It moved again, and its slender body suddenly lifted slightly into the air. There was another muffled sound, mixed with screams and the sound of the crossbow machine breaking, and it had jumped directly into the back row. Among the crossbowmen!
He lightly pressed several crossbowmen into the mud with his body, and with a flick of his claws, the heavy armor on several crossbowmen was torn apart like eggshells, and blood spattered as they staggered back.
There was another sharp roar of "Woo", and the tail of the dragon passed by like flowing fire, and more than twenty crossbowmen flew into the sky.
"retreat!"
A sharp roar sounded, it was the former army general, the Five Hundred Lord.
At this time, his eyes were splitting!
He never expected that this evil spirit would stop moving, but if it moved, it would be as powerful as thunder!
Five hundred guardsmen, the most powerful army in the world, are not their combined enemies!
So scary!
