Chapter 27 The terrifying power of the ballista
Yes, it is a tank.
When a horned demon with a height of nearly 2.3 meters, a weight of 500 to 600 kilograms, and a body full of muscles appeared in the corridor.
The entire corridor was completely blocked, almost completely blocked!
"Roar!" roared at this time.
The sound was amplified by the corridor.
The Swadian light infantrymen who were close at hand and formed a dense formation like steel hedgehogs felt the gorilla wind blowing towards their faces. They all subconsciously bent down slightly, and their hearts were filled with excitement. Getting nervous!
Such a big guy!
Really very intimidating!
“Fight!”
However, there was no fear on the faces of these Swadian light infantry. The heartbeats in their chests and the courage that emerged from standing within the range of the Swadian stronghold made their mentality even more intense. High pitched!
So much so that just when the horned devil burst out of the darkness and came in front of these Swadian light infantry, he roared.
These Swadian light infantrymen, as if they had a telepathic connection, raised their fan-shaped shields and spears, and also roared:
"For!"
"Swadian light infantry Dia! ”
The sound was even less powerful than the roar of the horned devil.
But these 25 adults shouted slogans in unison at this time, still forming a loud wave in the corridor!
This is the response.
It is these Swadian light infantry who have a strong fighting spirit in their hearts when facing this horned demon!
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
But on the second floor of the main building of the stronghold, the hired sentries who had finished winding the guns in the shooting ports were even more full of fighting spirit at this time.
When the winding was completed, the iron crossbow bolt was stuck in the shooting slot. He raised the light crossbow in his hand and fired another round of volley!
Crossbow arrows flew.
The short and thick crossbow bolts flashed over the heads of the Swadian light infantry in an instant, and when they appeared again, they were directly pierced into the face, neck, and chest of the horned demon. and abdomen.
On the spot, the horned demon was transformed into a ridiculous hedgehog with crossbow tail feathers all over his body!
"Roar!"
The pain from all over the body immediately angered the horned demon, and he let out a roar. The huge body that already occupied the entire corridor pressed over like a tank!
Facing the spear phalanx composed of Swadian light infantry!
“Kill!”
And this is exactly what the Swadia light infantry want to see.
They shouted in unison.
Holding a spear tightly in his hand.
Arranged closely together, looking at the horned devil getting closer and closer, the spears in their hands relied on long-term training and the tacit understanding of fellow Swadians to work together. Stab forward and block the horned demon in front of them!
Blocked away from their spears!
“Roar!”
The horned demon was even more angry at this time, because its body had been stabbed by 25 spears at this time.
There are wounds everywhere.
There are blood holes everywhere.
Even a creature with a horned devil with tough and rough skin, like leather, and strong muscles, will still be injured when facing sharp weapons!
But facing this spear phalanx, which is really no different from a hedgehog, even if it is as strong as a tank, it is helpless now!
What's more, there are hired sentries holding light crossbows and firing quickly.
And right at the top of the third floor.
The crossbow, which had been carried from the bedroom on the second floor to the roof by the newcomers of the Lake Rat Gang, had been set up and was about to be wound, finally made a 'click' sound.
The two thick giant crossbow strings were finally wound up, and the one-meter-long shooting spear was also put into the shooting slot.
Two newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang are on the string.
A new member of the Lake Rat Gang puts in the shooting spear.
A total of 3 people operate this ballista, all of them are skilled and capable, and the overall flow is smooth and there are no unnecessary movements.
Finally, after the horned demon appeared in the corridor.
Another successful winding!
Then just when the new member of the Lake Rat Gang who was operating the crossbow picked up a wooden hammer and slammed it into the crossbow string slot.
‘Buzz! ’ The bowstring and bow arms vibrated violently.
‘Whoosh! ’
The 1-meter-long shooting spear in the shooting trough disappeared instantly.
‘Poof! ’
When it appeared again, it had already been inserted into the connection between the horned devil’s lower abdomen and chest.
The huge power originally caused the horned demon, which was still waving its arms, baring its teeth and claws, and full of ferocious aura, to suddenly pause and stagger its entire body back half a step.
So much so that the few little demons following him had no time to dodge, and were directly hit hard on the buttocks by the body that fell backwards!
With the crackling sound of bones cracking, the results of those little devils were obvious.
This made the little devils who were blocked behind them all scream and run away into the darkness behind them. There were only seven or eight dark red, hairless hellhounds that looked like small Tibetan mastiffs, and they were still barking wildly from behind.
But the entire corridor became increasingly chaotic.
‘Swish, swish, swish! '
But those who were greeted by the barking of these hellhounds were those who finished cocking the light crossbow again, raised the light crossbow without even looking at it, without even aiming, but just aimed at a general direction and pulled the trigger directly. The hired sentinels!
Another volley fired, and the crossbow bolts passed by.
The barking hellhound stopped on the spot, and the barking turned into howls.
These hellhounds also know pain.
Including the horned demon who fell to the ground and was still struggling to stand up again, but because a spear was directly pierced through his abdomen and his movements began to slow down, everyone roared because of the pain.
This scene made the Swadian light infantry, who were still in formation and as motionless as a rock, even more excited.
The look in his eyes is even more eager to try!
When the fear dissipates.
When courage increasingly takes over the high ground of the soul.
So.
Even when faced with the horned demon that had rushed towards them in a menacing manner just now, as if it wanted to crush them all.
They all have a mentality of wanting to fight to the end!
“Roar!”
However, the horned demon still stood up again. The location of the abdominal wound that was directly penetrated by the spear was still sparsely bleeding with dark red blood that smelled of sulfur.
It was indeed hit hard.
The wide open mouth, the fangs in the mouth, and the violent and angry madness revealed in the small eyes cannot be concealed at all.
Let out a roar, and actually hit the spear phalanx composed of the Svadia light infantry in front of them, just like that!
The pain makes it angry.
Being hit hard makes it angrier.
And being severely injured by a group of little demons led by him and slaughtering many humans caused unbearable pain...
It made him furious to the point of madness!
‘Buzz…poof! ’
Just as it stood up again and howled into the spear formation, a muffled sound appeared again.
Just on the right shoulder of this horned demon, a brand new 1 meter long spear appeared here again, and also penetrated its shoulder blade, with a sharp spear tip full of blood, from the back Poke it out!
This spear directly destroyed its right arm.
And right in front of it, they all had their spears pointed out, and the spears that were thrust towards it even stabbed holes in its body.
Because of the assistance of the ballista.
These Swadian light infantry did not even take half a step back. They were still holding up the spears in their hands, resisting the impact of the horned demon and preventing it from moving forward closer to their range. !
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
Even the hired sentry once again fired at him at almost the fastest speed with the light crossbow in his hand!
In just ten seconds, the body of this horned demon was covered in blood and wounds, and it looked extremely miserable!
Even talking about the total time this horned devil appeared.
That was only four or five minutes.
Already...
Reduced to this!
"It's a bit funny." Even Shen Mu, who was standing next to the wall of the main house of the stronghold, pressing the hilt of the Germanic sword and groping for the silver ring on his index finger with his thumb, looked relaxed at this time. A lot.
So much so that when he looked outside the crowd of Swadian light infantry, they were still forcibly carrying the horned devil who had not fallen.
There is ridicule in the eyes!
It is a living thing, so we must respect the killing effect of weapons.
Even the devil on the fantasy side.
When facing a ballista, you must remain respectful!
And Shen Mu, standing below the main house of the stronghold, could easily hear that just above his head, the winch was rapidly pulling the crossbow arm and crossbow string, and there was a soft "click" sound. ring.
Shen Mu knew that this was the sound of the ballista being wound up again, and the sharp spear in the shooting slot could be fired out!
Only this time, the new member of the Lake Rat Gang slightly adjusted the shooting angle of the crossbow.
‘Poof! ’
The 1-meter-long spear appeared just at the chest of the horned demon, pierced deeply, and then came out from the back.
The horned demon was still waving its left arm, looking like it was going crazy, and everyone was stunned.
"Three arrows set Tianshan?" As Shen Mu watched this scene from behind, this word suddenly appeared for no reason.
‘Poof! 'Then the horned demon, right in front of the spear phalanx thrust forward by the Swadian light infantry, fell heavily backwards to the ground again, hit the hard corridor floor, and let out a A loud, dull sound.
Twitched twice and then became silent again.
“Kill!”
At this moment, the Swadia light infantry who were still forming a spear phalanx shouted excitedly.
Because they know.
Victory is here in the blink of an eye!
