Chapter 961 Giants, Meteorites Fall From the Sky!
Chapter 961
"Master Hou, in fact... with our current conditions, it is still possible to build another one."
At this moment, an old voice came from behind.
The four people turned their eyes and all gathered on Zhang Shouzhi who was behind him.
"The biggest problem with the heavy-duty crossbow is the lack of experience and the special material, which is why I was not sure before. But now that it has been built, it means that there is experience to follow, although it is still very difficult to build a third one. Difficult, but as long as there is enough time, it is still possible. And those crossbows that were destroyed before are ready-made materials. We can also cast other parts on site. As for crossbow bolts and so on, they are also easy to solve... "
With the last sentence, Zhang Shouzhi turned his head and looked at the first steel defense line, the giant eating beast that had been shot down before.
The crossbow arrows used by the heavy crossbow are different from others. These are basically all cast by Zhang Shouzhi and others in the capital, bringing together the top craftsmen and masters from various foundry families, and using the best technology and In the process of the final release of the materials, a large number of formations and inscriptions were added.
Only in this way can these giant crossbow bolts penetrate the tough and elastic skin of giant beasts, and at the same time penetrate their bones as hard as iron. This is not something that can be cast casually on the battlefield. However, these most precious heavy crossbow bolts are the least to worry about at this time.
"Understood!"
On the other side, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of the deputy capital guard of the Anxi Protectorate Army. He slammed the horse's belly, and immediately galloped towards the nearest corpse of the rhinoceros without saying a word. When he arrived in front of the giant beast, he leaped vertically onto its head. Pfft, Cheng Qianli bowed his head and pulled out forcefully, pulling out a bloody and heavy giant crossbow bolt from the giant beast's head.
boom!
Cheng Qianli swiftly raised the giant crossbow as if it were light, and threw the long giant crossbow on the ground not far from a heavy crossbow, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky. One after another kept throwing the past.
—— Each of these giant crossbow arrows is extremely heavy. Except for a top general like Cheng Qianli, it may be difficult for others to pull them out.
With Cheng Qianli's shot, in a short period of time, everyone recovered thirty or forty giant crossbow bolts. All the heavy crossbow bolts were pulled out and stacked next to the two heavy crossbows.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
And at this moment,
A burst of dense battle drums suddenly came from the cannibal camp. Not long after the four giant beasts rushed out, the 200,000 large food cavalry that had been standing still suddenly surged, and rows of them followed behind the giant beasts, heading towards the defense line of the Tang people. rushed.
"kill!"
"Destroy them, kill these heretics!"
The sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering. Accompanied by the sound of drums, a breath of tyranny, brutality, and killing came roaring like mountains and seas.
The war has finally begun!
"Prepare!"
The sky was dark, and a loud and clear sound resounded through the entire defense line. With this sound, clang clang clang, the long swords were unsheathed, and row after row were shining brightly, pointing directly at the sky.
"Shields are ready!"
"The crossbowmen are in place!"
"Cavalry formation!"
...
One military order after another, clear and clear, spread throughout the entire army from top to bottom. In an instant, the Qixi reinforcements and the Anxi Protectorate Army, totaling more than 100,000 troops, all moved into action. The sound of footsteps, the sound of armor, the sound of swords, the vibration of shields, and the sound of forging in the furnace are all connected together.
The entire Datang/army was running rapidly like a huge machine, and a powerful aura burst out of the air instantly, covering the entire Datang/army.
There was a lot of killing on the battlefield, and even the Uzbek Tibetans and Western Turkic people in the distance were affected. They all looked tense and concentrated, and almost forgot to breathe.
"Maisiel! Get ready, you should go out together!"
In the distance, Abu Muslim/Lin looked at Datang's defense line, and suddenly didn't turn his head back.
"Hehe! Understood."
Mai Xier seemed to have expected this scene long ago, looked at the Datang front in the distance, smiled darkly, and walked quickly to the rear. After a while, with a bang, a crack opened in the ground, and Maisir quickly disappeared in the crack.
Roar!
The giant beasts roared, and the rumbling footsteps shook the sky. They were getting closer and closer to the army and the first steel defense line. Their heavy bodies stepped heavily on the ground, raising a billowing wave more than ten meters high in front of them. dust. And behind the giant beast, a big food cavalry waved the big food scimitar in his hand, like a flood, also came surging.
Three thousand feet!
Two thousand five hundred feet!
The four giant beasts and the sea-like cavalry rushed towards the defense line of the Tang people with all their strength.
"The army is ready!"
Li Siye led five thousand black-scarred cavalry to stand at the forefront of the line of defense. The thunderous voice shook the sky and echoed in everyone's ears.
nervous!
Extremely nervous!
The tense feeling between the two armies grew exponentially in a short period of time, regardless of whether it was the cannibals, the Tang people, or the mercenaries, everyone was staring at each other, holding hands tightly Weapons, even the veins on the arms are bulging.
At this moment, even Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi showed a slightly nervous look. The decisive battle between Dashi and Datang is probably now.
"Ballista troops!"
The wind howled, and when the big man-eating and giant beasts were still two thousand feet away from the line of defense, Wang Chong suddenly drew his long sword and gave an order. For a split second, the sound of the rolling machine came and went, endlessly. All the long arrows of the three thousand crossbows were stringed and aimed at the opposite side.
Now the only thing that can pose a threat to the big food cavalry and the giant beast at the same time is the ballista troop. Although the damage and power are far from that of the heavy crossbow, they are still effective in this war because of their large number.
However, just when all the three thousand ballistas had finished loading, there was a sudden bang, and everyone heard an earth-shattering bang, just behind the cannibal army, far away from the horizon, the ground suddenly shook violently After a while, something seemed to erupt violently.
The movement was so loud, even accompanied by the changes of light and shadow, it quickly attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
"what is that?"
At the front of the line of defense, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli and others stood side by side. Seeing the scene in the distance, Cheng Qianli narrowed his eyes and subconsciously said. Neither Wang Chong nor Gao Xianzhi spoke, but both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts at the same time. No matter what the loud noise was, it was definitely not a good thing if it appeared at this time.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, Dajun's doubts did not last long, and the answer was soon revealed.
"Look there!"
"what is that?"
"Meteorite! It's a meteorite!"
...
In the horrified eyes of everyone, above the Talas defense line, a huge "meteorite" was burning with dark green flames, rolling continuously in the air, condescending, and smashing towards everyone at an extremely astonishing speed. Quickly, when everyone found it, it was only a few hundred feet away from the top of their heads.
"careful!"
Wang Chong's pupils shrank, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart. The scene in front of him was so weird that even Wang Chong didn't expect it. However, even though Wang Chong had sounded a reminder, it was already too late——
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, there was only a loud bang, and the huge, flaming "meteorite" passed through a space of several hundred feet and hit the ground heavily.
"ah!"
There were shocking screams, and the meteorite fell to the ground, causing a shocking explosion. Waves of air blasted many Tang soldiers and mercenaries from the Western Regions, including men and horses, all of them were blown away. Under the action, it shot in all directions like a sharp arrow.
Xi Yuyu, the horses neighed, and countless horses opened their eyes wide, retreating in panic, and the army was in chaos around the meteorite.
And in the middle of these horses, a huge pothole exploded on the ground. The diameter of the pothole is more than ten meters, and the core area is six to seven meters deep. In the deepest part of the pothole, there is a "giant egg". ". The whole body of the giant egg is dark green, as tall as five or six people, and its surface is mottled. It seems to be an unknown hard metal, and it is also burning with dark green flames.
Crackling, bursts of crisp sounds came from the giant egg. The moment it landed, the surface of the dark green "big egg" that was mistaken for a meteorite immediately cracked with fine black cracks. Boom, before everyone could react, a huge palm like black steel suddenly protruded from the inside, grabbing the edge of the giant egg's crack.
"Hey hey, die to me!"
A cold, tyrannical voice, accompanied by a strong murderous aura, suddenly rang in everyone's ears. At that moment, everyone could see clearly that the palm protruding from the giant egg was actually bigger than a horse! And behind the giant egg, there is a pair of scarlet and terrifying eyes.
"ah!"
Surprises all around, countless war horses hissed back as if they had been greatly frightened. In the blink of an eye, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the giant egg cracked open, and amidst the roar of iron and steel, a giant with a black body, like steel, rose from the giant egg.
Ten meters, fifteen meters, seventeen meters... In the end, the height of this giant was fixed at eighteen meters.
With dark brown steel-like skin, a tall and mighty body, and those tyrannical, sinister eyes full of desire for destruction, this is an ancient giant in myths and legends! And the mottled green "eggshell" is the armor of this giant.
"boom!"
A huge gray-brown rock burst out of the air, and at the moment when it revealed its true body and "jumped up from the ground", the giant made a sudden move, grabbed a huge rock that was half a person's height, and threw it out. Bang, a mercenary from the Western Regions couldn't dodge in time. He was hit by a boulder, and he didn't even have time to scream. And the huge boulder continued to linger, smashing a bloody path in the dense army phalanx. Wherever the boulder passed, there were corpses all over the ground, human corpses, horse corpses, and various limbs and arms scattered all over the ground.
[Everyone, it's about to explode! ^-^]
