Chapter 956 Debut, Heavy Crossbow! (1)
Chapter 956
Roar!
The roar of the giant beast, one after another, resounded throughout the vicinity of Talas City, and the huge body kept squeezing and advancing towards Wang Chong. Although Abmus/Lin's arrow missed, it was not ineffective. At the moment Wang Chong was distracted, the giant scale beast took the opportunity to charge forward, and it was less than ten feet away from the first steel line of defense. distance. The airflow it breathed and sprayed hit the steel walls, making a huge roar like the beating of huge waves, and some of the closest Datang soldiers couldn't reach them, and even people and horses were swept away.
Wang Chong transformed himself into the arms of Yan Motian, hugged the fearer's neck, and resisted desperately. Although Wang Chong tried his best, it became more and more difficult to support. The power of "Yan Mo Comes to the World" is not unlimited. Every second of time, Wang Chong's power weakens by one point. At first, Wang Chong was able to resist the advance of the giant scale beast, but now, Wang Chong's entire body was crushed. The behemoth pushed forward.
"Damn it!"
Wang Chong roared angrily, and the iron rod in his hand hit the giant beast's head time and time again. The purple flames transformed by Lu Wu's power in his body wrapped around the iron rod and spread continuously into the giant beast's body. Every second that passed, the exuberant fire of life in the giant beast's body would dim a bit, and a majestic life force poured into Wang Chong's body, but it still couldn't stop this crazy giant beast. Although a hole was made in its skull by Wang Chong's impact, it was already at its limit. It seemed that there was an invisible force resisting Wang Chong, and it couldn't move any further.
"put!"
On the ground, Chen Bin swung his right hand again. In all directions, countless crossbow arrows shot out of the air, shooting at the giant scale beast in front one after another. But this time, a considerable part of the crossbow arrows were all bounced off by the hard scale armor on the giant beast, and only a small part shot in through the gaps in the scale armor.
——Although Wang Chong held back the giant beast, his huge Yan Mo body also had a great impact on the attack of the ballista troops on the ground.
"Play it again!"
Chen Bin's face remained unchanged, and he ordered again. This is already the last attack that everyone can launch. The giant beast can step over at any time, and it only needs one kick to cause heavy losses to the ballista troops.
"Zhang Shouzhi, are you alright?"
Wang Chong's anxious voice resounded through the sky. Where no one could see, Wang Chong's complexion was already as white as paper foil, and blood dripped down his tiger's mouth continuously. To forcibly fight against a giant beast that one cannot match is to place a huge load on one's body. Kachacha, a huge crack, like a spider web, spread from Yan Motianshen's shoulder through his back to his waist. And such fine cracks are still increasing at an astonishing speed on Wang Chong's four-armed Yama God. In just a moment, Yan Motianshen's body was covered with such fine cracks,
The whole is like a porcelain doll about to be broken.
This is a sign that Yan Motianshen's endurance has reached its limit and is about to collapse.
On the ground, the atmosphere was tense and extremely tense. All the craftsmen are frantically assembling, their faces are pale, their scalps are fried, and they are extremely nervous.
"There is still a moment! Lord Hou, hold on!"
Zhang Shouzhi's beard fluttered, and an anxious voice came from the ground.
At this moment, no one knew how much pressure he was facing.
not enough time! Far from enough!
Zhang Shouzhi can quickly assemble it if he draws a ladle from a gourd, but such a heavy crossbow has never appeared in the history of the empire. All craftsmen, including Zhang Shouzhi himself, do not have any existing ones. experience. This time is simply not enough.
"boom!"
As soon as Zhang Shouzhi's voice fell, the huge scale-armored beast immediately pushed the huge Yan Mo Tianshen forward. Yan Motianshen's huge heels kicked up a lot of mud and dust, and violently hit the steel city behind. There was only a loud bang, and amidst the exclamation of the crowd, seven or eight blocks of the steel city were uprooted, tumbling in the air like a kite with a broken string, and flew out.
"Back! Back quickly!"
A burst of screams resounded through the sky, and there was chaos in front of the giant beast, and countless soldiers retreated in panic. In front of the giant beast, everyone is like ants, it is too weak, even a little bit of damage is difficult to cause, let alone confrontation.
"The seventh square, the tenth square, the twenty-third square...all retreat!"
A familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, it was Wang Chong's voice. Even in the midst of a fierce battle, with his back to everyone, Wang Chong still grasped the situation of the entire battlefield at all times. Even if he was in an extremely dangerous situation, he didn't mess up the phalanx at all.
"coax!"
After receiving Wang Chong's order, the army in front of the giant beast quickly dispersed towards the two sides.
"Roar!"
And almost at the same time, the giant scale-armored beast also aroused its ferocity, and flung itself violently. With an agility that did not match its body, its huge body kicked up a large cloud of dust and shot out. Ah, there were endless screams, and those seemingly ordinary sand and dust suddenly became the most terrifying lethal "weapon" under the terrifying power of the giant beast.
Xi Yuyu, amidst the hissing sound, the war horses were unable to dodge in time, and were hit by the sand and dust, and their flesh and blood were immediately mutilated, and their bodies were covered with blood holes like honeycombs. As for the warrior on horseback, even though he was wearing battle armor, he was also beaten up from the horseback and fell heavily. His internal organs were already injured in the air, and his breath was cut off. ——Even if the giant elephant sneezes, it is a devastating blow to the ants. The same is true for the Tang Dynasty/army in front of Talas City. Human power is really too small for these giant beasts that only exist in myths and legends.
"Damn it!"
All of a sudden, Wang Chong's eyes turned red. Before he had time to think about it, the ten-meter-long iron rod in his hand, which was originally used to deal with giant beasts, was inserted obliquely by Wang Chong, and it was inserted into the soil behind the defense line. One end of the iron rod sank into the underground rock. The other side firmly pressed against the body of the giant beast.
In order to avoid the heavy casualties of the army, Wang Chong had no other choice.
But even so, this is only a temporary military crisis is far from over.
"Crack!"
At this moment, there was a crisp sound, and under the horrified eyes of countless people, the huge Yan Mo Tianshen broke off with a huge arm at the root, and fell heavily from the sky to the ground, startling the sky with smoke and dust. The four-armed Yan Mo Tianshen, this is the second arm that has fallen!
And in a place invisible to everyone's eyes, almost at the same time as the second god's arm fell, Wang Chong spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff.
"Lord Hou!"
Seeing this scene, on the ground, Chen Bin, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, Zhuang Zhengping and others all changed their expressions. Although the realm was far from enough, everyone could feel that Wang Chong's physical strength had reached its limit, and he might not be able to hold on any longer.
However, all this is far from over. With a bang, the giant scale beast "Fearer" exerted all its strength, and suddenly hit the head of Yan Mo Tianshen heavily. This blow directly sent Wang Chong flying more than ten feet away. Without Wang Chong's obstruction, a blank area more than ten feet away suddenly appeared in front of the giant beast, and all the troops were immediately exposed.
"Not good! Flash!"
"Retreat! Retreat! The army retreats!"
"Get out of here! I can't resist it!"
...
Seeing this scene, the tens of thousands of Datang/armies were in chaos, panic spread rapidly, and everyone felt a strong breath of death.
The army, which was still calm, was instantly defeated across the board.
No one can imagine the damage that an unstoppable giant beast can cause in an army.
"Master Hou! The heavy crossbow is ready, everyone get out of the way!"
Seeing that the army was about to suffer heavy losses, in the blink of an eye, a loud roar suddenly came from the crowd. Without the slightest warning, the thousands of craftsmen who had gathered together suddenly dispersed in a rush, and quickly retreated in all directions. And among the craftsmen, a huge and heavy crossbow has been completely assembled. The strings of this crossbow are more than ten meters long, the whole body is pitch black, and many parts are still steaming. Good parts, immediately used in the giant crossbow.
After spending a lot of time and energy, and gathering the strength of many craftsmen, Zhang Shouzhi finally completed this heavy crossbow!
"howl!"
The giant beast roared, and at the same time as everyone finished the work, the giant beast stretched out its muscles, squatted down, its huge head slowly lowered, and its scarlet eyes full of desire for destruction stared down. This is the giant beast. A sign of readiness to attack.
"Senior Zhang, give us the heavy crossbow!"
"The seventh, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth phalanx... everyone, step forward!"
"The 30th and 38th phalanx fully loaded with crossbow arrows!"
...
In the blink of an eye, without time to think about it, Chen Bin suddenly drew his long sword, rushed forward, and issued a series of orders. The army was in chaos, and everyone was running away. The craftsmen group and Zhang Shouzhi were almost exhausted. Chong was also knocked into the air by the giant beast. At this time, except for Chen Bin and his ballista troops, there was no power to stop the giant beast.
"boom!"
The well-trained skills of Chen Bin and the ballista troops were reflected at this time. The moment Chen Bin's voice just fell, the soldiers of the ballista troops who were already ready to retreat changed their direction and swarmed up, all rushing towards the heavy giant crossbow.
There were hundreds of crossbow fighters with a clear division of labor, and there was no confusion at all.
Cracking, amidst the loud noise, the huge mechanism was quickly pulled away, and dozens of Tang soldiers worked together to quickly install a crossbow arrow more than ten meters long and weighing nearly a thousand catties on the heavy giant crossbow. Boom, a huge foot stepped down heavily and landed in the area inside the defense line. The huge force penetrated into the ground through the sole of the foot, causing a wave of earthquakes inside the defense line. A few tens of feet away, there were screams, and hundreds of fleeing cavalry were thrown into the air with their horses and men.
——The giant beast finally broke through the defense line at this time and launched an attack!
Nearly 100,000 troops are in great danger and are at stake!
"put!"
Chen Bin finally gave the order to launch. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, everyone held their breath, and their hearts were in their throats. The idea of the heavy crossbow was a concept from the beginning to the end, and it was never really realized. Whether this heavy crossbow can succeed, whether it can be fired, and whether the fired crossbow can cause damage to the scaled giant beast, even Zhang Neither the actual creator nor the executor of Shouzhi is known, let alone anyone else.
But at this moment, everyone has no choice, no matter whether it succeeds or not, they can only try.
