Chapter 491 Ning Fan: I start performing
Although the old general was angry, he was not confused. His eyes were almost blurred. He looked at the phalanx below and sighed helplessly: "There is no way to continue like this, alas!"
"The army of Da Li is so powerful. No wonder it can conquer seven levels in three days. With such a magical weapon, even an iron barrel can tear a hole!"
"boom!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the bolide flying from the sky suddenly changed. Instead of long flames, huge rocks directly hit the tower.
Each piece weighed hundreds of kilograms and fell on the city wall, directly punching a hole.
"boom!"
"boom!"
There were loud noises, and more and more stones flew from the sky. Many soldiers and generals won the lottery one after another and were directly smashed into pulp, without even having time to scream.
"this……"
The veteran clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anger, he immediately lost his mind and shouted: "Wang Lang, you lead three thousand light cavalry out of the city, you must destroy the enemy's chariots!"
"As you command!"
The general who had just asked for a fight immediately clasped his fists in salute and strode down the tower with a few generals.
"Strange, why haven't they attacked the city yet?"
"Are you planning to smash my eighth level barrier like this?"
"snort!"
The veteran looked far away with a faint look, looking at the figures standing on horseback under the dragon flag with a strong fear in his eyes.
"Kill!"
Along with a cry of killing, the city gate of Eighth Pass suddenly opened wide, and a group of light cavalry rushed out of it, heading straight for the catapult formation. Huo Qubing and Qin Qiong looked at each other, both showing a smile.
"Giant crossbow team, prepare!"
"shoot!"
With an order, giant crossbows were pushed directly to the front of the formation. Each giant crossbow could fire three giant crossbows at the same time, and the range reached a terrifying 1,500 steps.
In other words, at this distance, even if the cavalry stood still at the city gate, they were still targets.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The bow string was suddenly released, sending out strings one after another. The unstrung crossbow arrows made a sound of breaking through the air, and seemed to be carrying the power of thunder and lightning, rushing towards the cavalry who had just rushed out of the city.
"not good!"
Wang Lang looked at the giant crossbow coming towards him, and his pupils began to shrink violently. He had joined the army since he was a child, and he had fought in both north and south, but had he ever seen such a huge crossbow?
"Quick, raise your shield!"
In a hurry, with an order, the shielded cavalry raised their round shields in front of their chests and protected their heads tightly behind the shields.
"ah!"
Along with a scream, a cavalryman who was charging forward was torn apart by the terrifying giant crossbow, and the shield in his hand was directly torn into pieces.
What's even more terrifying is that after the giant crossbow passed through one person, it shot through the knight behind him again.
In just a short moment, the three thousand light cavalry who had just left the city with great ambitions seemed to have experienced a catastrophe. It was just a wave of arrows, and more than half of the three thousand cavalry had been destroyed.
This terrifying scene fell into the eyes of the defenders on the tower. Their expressions were even more horrified, and their legs could not stop feeling weak.
"What kind of killer weapon is this?"
"How could there be such a cruel weapon in the world?"
"My dear, have you seen that after being shot by that giant crossbow, the whole person was torn apart and there was no whole body left!"
"Damn it, we can't even reach someone else's figure, how should we fight this battle?"
"I heard that Wuchongguan surrendered directly at that time, otherwise we would also..."
The defenders on the city tower huddled under the city wall, talking quietly while avoiding the flying boulders.
"withdraw!"
"Get back quickly!"
The old general stood on the tower and shouted directly below. Wang Lang quickly turned his horse's head as if he had woken up from a dream: "Quickly, retreat into the city."
"Now that you're out, do you still want to go back?"
Ran Min showed a sneer and whispered: "Giant crossbow, shoot!"
Another rain of arrows began the brutal harvest, and the area directly in front of the city gate had turned into a hell on earth. Many soldiers who had survived were holding broken arms or legs and letting out heart-rending screams.
However, most of them didn't even have time to scream.
On the observation deck, Mu Qingcheng looked at the scene on the tower and said nothing for a long time, but the paleness on her pretty face was enough to show that she was not in a calm mood at this time.
"Is this also your Dayu's killing weapon?"
"So be it!"
Ning Fan smiled: "This crossbow is called the bed crossbow. It has a range of up to 1,500 steps and is incredibly powerful. It can penetrate seven layers of armor."
"hiss!"
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but take a breath. If they had such a deadly weapon in Da Li back then, what would they have to fear even if Da Yan's Da Yan Dragon Rider came?
For a moment, Mu Qingcheng looked at Ning Fan with a bit of envy.
"Did you rely on this magic weapon to defeat Da Yan in the battle at Xuanjian Pass last year?"
"No!"
Ning Fan shook his head and said softly: "In that battle, the bed crossbow was not used, and today, the bed crossbow made its first real appearance."
Although bed crossbows had been used on the previous battlefields, they had never been organized into formations to display their power like today. Therefore, Ning Fan was very conservative.
"This bed crossbow..."
Mu Qingcheng's lips moved slightly, but as soon as the words came out, she paused again.
Ning Fan immediately understood what she meant and asked with a smile: "If this crossbow is in your Majesty's hands, would you be willing to give it to me, Dayu?"
Mu Qingcheng was silent for a long time and shook her head: "Of course I don't want to. If this bed crossbow is used properly, it can turn the tide of a war. It is a national treasure for any force."
"If I say that I am willing to give you the manufacturing method, what do you think?"
"You..."
Mu Qingcheng looked at Ning Fan in surprise, covering her mouth for a long time and unable to speak.
"Really?"
"Have I lied to you?"
Ning Fan asked back, with a bit of tenderness in his eyes. Mu Qingcheng was also moved by his sincere eyes, with a bit of trance in his expression.
He was willing to hand over the manufacturing method of such a divine weapon for himself?
Isn't he afraid of being impeached by the court officials?
If Emperor Yu knew about it, he might not even be able to save his life in the thundering rage.
Has he considered it?
"Actually, you don't have to do that."
"This bed crossbow is of great significance to any country. Although I want to get it, I won't accept it without merit!"
"I appreciate your kindness."
Mu Qingcheng looked at him sincerely. Ning Fan smiled and said lightly: "This bed crossbow was invented by me. Even if it is spread out, the court will not know about it. So, Qingcheng, you don't need to worry that I will be punished."
"But you... why do you want to give the bed crossbow to me..."
"For you, let alone a mere bed crossbow, even if I give you my world of Dayu, what's the harm?"
