Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Five: The Last Stand
Cai Xu is an auxiliary soldier of the Modao Team, and at the same time, he is also a reserve Modao player. He is just over 20 this year and is tall and far beyond his peers. It is precisely because of his good figure that he was picked out of the Modao Team.
If you go to the Modao Team, you may not be the Modao Hand. Because the Modao Team now only has one thousand heavy armor and one thousand Modao teams, naturally, there are only one thousand places for the main soldiers. If you want to become the main soldiers of the Modao Team, there is only one way to be the main soldiers, and the main soldiers will be supplemented after they die in battle.
But even so, the competition is quite fierce. Because there are as many as two thousand auxiliary soldiers, everyone is eager to become a regular soldier.
Once they become regular soldiers, it means that their treatment will increase dramatically. The regular soldiers only need to do one thing every day, that is, to work hard and practice sword skills, and the auxiliary soldiers will have more to do.
They must ensure that each Mojiu is extremely sharp and every heavy armor is in the best state. In addition to practicing Mojiu's sword technique and knife array every day, they also have to practice long-range weapons such as crossbow chariots, arm-opening crossbows and other types of weapons. Speaking of which, they are much more tired than the regular soldiers every day.
In June this year, the Modao team conducted a large-scale supplement. It was this supplement that made the Modao team reach a scale of 1,000 people. Every time I think of this supplement, Cai Xu felt heartbroken. What a great opportunity, but he missed it. It was just because he took such a small step. This small step was a short distance away and was immediately kicked out by the superiors.
Mo Dao Hand, there is no retreat! Even if Mount Tai is pressing down on the top and the sky collapses and the earth is broken, you can still move forward, move forward, swing the knife, and swing the knife again. The words of the officer of the Mo Dao Team who was assessing are still echoing in his ears to this day.
Next time, I will not take a step back.
He said to himself more than once.
The war came as scheduled. In front of him were a thousand Mo Dao soldiers. They were wearing heavy armor and holding Mo Dao, standing like steel giants. Cai Xu stood behind them, beside them, with a crossbow cart. The twelve crossbow guns on the crossbow cart ready to go, and in his hand, he was holding a strange weapon with a domineering name, called Hongtian Lei. I heard that it was the name that Jie Shuai personally named.
However, Cai Xu, who had practiced this thing several times, knew that this thing was just a good thing. Although he looked very powerful when he launched it, it was actually not lethal at all. Compared with the crossbows around him, it was not above the same level.
What's even more funny is that sometimes this thing does not keep moving forward after being shot out, and occasionally it will fly randomly. Such funny things happened during their practice. After the so-called thunder flying out, it turned a corner and flew back and exploded among them. It made everyone panic at that time, but afterwards, everyone was unscathed.
Cai Xu felt a little strange when he put such things together with the killing weapon Mo Dao Hand.
But commands are commands. This thing can probably scare the enemy, or it can scare the enemy's war horses. Who makes his range reach thousands of steps!
The so-called thunderbolt is actually the most primitive gunpowder weapon, but its power is not worth mentioning. In Li Ze's secret camp, there is a team called Shihuozhu. This team is specially used to study some strange things, and this thing was made by them.
Li Ze didn't know how gunpowder was made, so he talked about these things with them casually. When Zhu Yi and the others made this thing, they surprised Li Ze for a long time. However, after trying the power, Li Ze could only shrugged. This thing, or could it be a celebration or festival. Even as firecrackers, Li Ze still thought they were not loud enough.
Of course, the spirit of research still needs to be promoted and encouraged. Even if it does not have much effect on the military, it can make money by making fireworks and firecrackers, right?
Zhu Yi and the others were encouraged and continued to help, so they had these messy things in front of them, such as thunder and rushing swarms.
This time, Li Ze specially brought some such things, because Yan Jiu added some special seasonings to it, and was about to use them when attacking cities or conducting street battles. Now, Li Ze is planning to use him to perform some special effects. Of course, it is impossible for the soldiers like Cai Xu to know about these special effects.
The drum beats suddenly became dense, which was the order to prepare for the battle. The training of many trials made Cai Xu instinctively withdraw Piaofei's thoughts.
Next, he saw a spectacular scene.
In his vision, almost all he was filled with galloping war horses. The deafening shouts and the sound of horse hooves like thunder made his mind almost blank. His body subconsciously trembled.
"Stop, don't tremble!" He roared loudly in his heart. In front of him, the Mo Dao Hands in heavy armor remained as a rock. At this moment, Cai Xu suddenly felt that there was no reason for him to be eliminated. Compared with them, he was really much worse.
He could hear almost nothing except shouting and horse hooves in his ears, but he could still clearly distinguish the dense and rhythmic drum beats. The long-term training almost made him instinct.
The drum beat suddenly stopped, and the chief shouted loudly. Without thinking, Cai Xu immediately put the lead of the thunder in his hand onto the fire incense on the side. Listening to the burning sound of the lead, he raised the thunder high, and prayed in his heart, don't fly randomly, don't fly randomly.
The vibrations in his hands continued to come, and thunders flew out from the thick and thin stick in his hand. The howling sound of ghosts and wolves immediately resounded throughout the battlefield. This time, even the Modaomen in the front row couldn't help but look up at the fire meteors flying out from their heads.
After ten vibrations came from his hand, Cai Xu immediately dropped the useless big stick in his hand and focused his attention on the crossbow. This big stick is a disposable item and throws it away after use.
At this time, the cavalry were still far away from them, and within less than four hundred steps, the crossbows would not fire.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the thunder.
Fire meteors drilled into the herd of horses like a tide, and the sound of explosions kept coming, but Cai Xu knew that this thing would not kill anyone.
But the enemy's horses were indeed in chaos.
The sound of the explosion still disturbs these well-trained war horses, but the smoke and dust that plays the greatest role are the explosion.
Yan Jiu added some extremely irritating dust to it, and only the skin was stained, and dense blisters appeared on the skin in an instant, and itchy was unbearable.
For Li Ze, this is considered the primary chemical weapon. The so-called thunder is just the carrier of these biological and chemical weapons. This level of stimulation is still tolerated by people, but it is not certain, especially once the ubiquitous dust flies into the eyes of people and the horse's geese, even if it is not blind, it is certain that it cannot see anything clearly in a short period of time.
The attacking cavalrymen turned over, but this did not prevent their large forces from continuing to move forward.
The crossbow cart began to fire. Although it was called a crossbow cart, it actually shot out a spear. For the cavalry's attack, it is the most effective long-range blocking weapon. No matter how strong your war horse is, you will definitely die.
Cai Xu saw that at least hundreds of spears flew out at one time in the camp of the Modao team. Facing the impact of the enemy's cavalry on the battlefield of a thousand meters wide below, Bi didn't have to worry about whether they would hit it, because as long as they flew out, there would always be unlucky guys who would hit it.
The enemy attack on the Modao Team was stagnant.
Cai Xu raised the crossbow at his feet, and together with his two thousand comrades-in-arms, he extended his crossbow to the sky obliquely. When the thunder sounded from the other two friendly troops on the left and right, the crossbow arrows in their hands also flew into the sky.
When the crossbow arrow flew into the sky, Li Han raised his Mo Dao high and shouted: "Mo Dao Team, move forward!"
Fifty people were in a row, and twenty rows of Mo Dao's hands raised Mo Dao over his head, and lined up neatly, moving forward.
Cai Xu had no other thoughts in his mind. According to the prior exercise, he needed to shoot out three crossbow arrows as fast as possible.
After shooting an arrow, he sat on the ground with his butt, kicked on the crossbow body, and roared. With the help of waist force, he pulled the crossbow body, installed the crossbow arrow, and then jumped up, pointed to the sky at a 45-degree angle, shot the crossbow arrow, and then repeated the last action again. At this time, there was no longer unified command, and all the soldiers spontaneously completed these tactical actions.
After shooting the three arrows, Cai Xu threw away his arm-opening crossbow and pulled up the sabre beside him.
They had no magic sword, but they could only use one sword to kill.
Two thousand people completed the shooting task at about the same time, then lifted the saber to complete the assembly in the blink of an eye, and then walked forward in the footsteps of Mo Dao's hand.
They don’t have a saber, but they have a saber. They don’t have heavy armor all over their bodies, but they are also wearing half-body plate armor.
After continuous long-range attacks, the speed of the impacting cavalry had significantly reduced. The cavalry in front lowered his body, held his spear in one hand, and rushed forward.
The Modaomen did not seem to see the spear that was stabbed. The Modao they raised high and slashed down heavily.
The sword formation started, and the people and horses were shattered.
When Mo Dao hand fell down, he could never stand up again. The heavy armor made it impossible for them to stand up with their own strength.
In the distance, on the river bank, Li Ze saw with pain that his most sophisticated Modao team, the three rows at the front, disappeared almost in an instant.
But what they received was the frontal cavalry offensive that was suddenly restrained.
The Modaomen in the rear screamed and rushed forward, slashed down, and then slashed down.
Then they couldn't take a step forward either.
Chapter completed!
