Chapter 144 Interlocking(1/2)
As a large-scale upgraded version of the crossbow, the crossbow poses no technical difficulty to the Evernight Legion. Coupled with the abundant corresponding resources, it not only started mass production, but also played tricks.
There is a large defensive ballista installed on the top of the fortress.
There are also self-propelled ballistas that are equipped with wheels so that a single horse can pull them around.
There is also a one-wheeled mountain crossbow, which can be climbed over mountains and ridges by two soldiers pushing and pulling it.
As the secret research base of the Evernight Legion, this place not only has equipment, but it is also the most advanced. There are not only large defensive ballistae, but also semi-automatic multi-string small ballistae, and catapults.
The giant arrows just now that are thicker than spears are large defensive ballistas. The characteristics of this type of ballista are that they are powerful but slow to load. They cannot hit large objects like Andis Giant Bear and Four-horned Mountain Ox
The target is still achievable, and every hit is accurate, but when dealing with a large number of enemies, the power is not as powerful as a semi-automatic multi-string small ballista.
The arrows emitted by this small ballista are only one-third longer and two turns thicker than the Andis longbow. The advantage is that the more complex multi-string structure can reasonably distribute and reuse the power. The two of them
In operation, it can basically achieve non-stop shooting, more than seven arrows per minute.
Although its rate of fire is inferior to that of the well-trained Andis longbow, its power and range are beyond the reach of the longbow.
The most important thing is that its requirements on the operator are far less than those of the Andis Longbow.
If you want to become a qualified Andis longbow archer, you must at least be strong and have more than three years of shooting experience to be barely qualified. A person who has fired the bow thirty times in a row is considered qualified, and a person who has fired the bow fifty times is considered a good expert.
, more than a hundred times, at least have knight-level skills.
The semi-automatic multi-string small crossbow requires only a strong farmer and an archer who has been trained for more than three months (there is no physical requirement for the archer, even a dwarf child can do it), as long as the arrow is
If the crossbow string is not broken and the crossbow string is not broken, it can shoot continuously without interruption.
These semi-automatic multi-string small ballistae were developed not long ago. Even among the Evernight Legion, they have not yet become popular. The medical research base was among the first to install them.
The elites of the Walled City Alliance felt their terrifying power for the first time.
Dozens of semi-automatic multi-string small ballistas formed a terrifying firepower network.
Another difference between them and the Andis longbow is that most of the Andis longbows are projectile, forming a rain of arrows through the number of people, covering the shot, killing the enemy, and relying entirely on luck.
After the semi-automatic multi-select small ballista is fixed, under the control of the shooter, it can flexibly adjust the shooting angle and shoot in sniper mode, which will give people the illusion of running to and hitting wherever it goes.
Not to mention the trebuchet. This thing can be used dual-purpose. It can be loaded with large stone bullets and it is a powerful siege weapon. However, when defending a city, you usually choose fist-sized stones. Once fired, it will hit everyone.
10. Hundreds of projectiles will hit a person's head, bleeding, and staggering around. This is a normal phenomenon. If you are unlucky, it is not strange to kill him on the spot.
There was a crazy fire bull formation behind, and four weapons were deployed in front. The elites of the Walled City Alliance were shot to the point where they were crying for their fathers and mothers. They were panicking. Many people even rushed towards the walled city that the Yongye Legion took the initiative to open in the first place.
Bao rushed over, because looking around, that was the safest place.
"Keep rushing! Keep rushing! Don't go in! There's a trap there too!"
"Idiot, there is a bigger trap there, don't go in! Keep rushing!"
Even if there are wise people shouting madly to stop them, the effect is minimal. It's not that those who rush towards the hole are stupid and can't see the danger lurking in it, but the road ahead has become a complete
At the end of the road, they can be safe for a while, but some people are thinking of surrendering to the Eternal Night Army.
If you want to surrender, you have to see the opponent. Those crazy mountain cows with burning tails don't look like they will accept prisoners.
"Let go! If you don't let go, the two of us will die here!"
McGee the Skull Crusher and Tagore the Tiger Andis are still entangled.
At the same time that the trap of the Eternal Night Legion was activated, the two fought for an unknown number of rounds. They were covered in dust and mud, and Tagore's long knife was thrown away. The two of them turned into a real hand-to-hand fight.
However, Skullcrusher Mikey insists on one thing, that is, relying on his own strength, he is not inferior to Tagore. He insists on not giving him any chance to escape, because once he lets the opponent escape, he will never catch up.
Chance.
As the Fire Bull Formation approached, the tiger panicked and its counterattack became even more unorganized. It took two punches from McGee and was almost knocked out.
Skullcrusher Mikey was really energetic and had no intention of letting go. He grinned and said: "I finally caught a big fish, how can I let it go? Haha... I advise you not to move around.
Here, I can still guarantee your safety. If you get out of this circle, it will be difficult to say."
While he was talking, a rocket fell down and there was another boom and explosion.
A sea of fire spread quickly, forming a huge flame isolation zone, encircling Skullcrusher McGee and Andis Tiger Tagore.
The natural fear of fire is the instinct of wild beasts, and the four-horned mountain cow is no exception. Even if it is crazy, it will subconsciously avoid the blazing flames. Even if the four-horned mountain cow occasionally crosses the boundary, it will be nailed by a series of crossbow arrows.
Die where you stand.
Obviously, there was a special ballista on the top of the fortress watching them. In addition to preventing them from being accidentally injured by the fire bull, the main purpose was to prevent Tagore from escaping or being rescued.
Now McGee has become Tagore's talisman. Once he is killed or thrown off, there will be an overwhelming rain of arrows.
Tagore was not afraid of those Andis longbows, but the terrifying power of the ballistae, especially the large defensive ballistae, made even him shudder. It was not something that could be overcome by manpower, not even a champion knight.
Tagore's attack could not help but slow down, at least he did not dare to attack McGee's fatal vitals.
Skullcrusher McGee seemed to have seen through Tagore's thoughts, and did not take the initiative to attack. He just trapped him to death. As long as he persisted, he would win. He grinned and said: "You just wait to be our prisoner! You and
Those people are different. They are obviously tigers on the mountain, why do you want to hang out with those group of loaches? Come to our Eternal Night Army to keep your favorite food and drinks, and you will be as happy as a god."
"Don't even think about it!" Tagore said sarcastically, "They are loaches. Who are you? Do you really think of yourself as the savior of the mountain people? Everyone has to obey you. If you want to be loyal to me, you can, obviously."
If you fight me with open swords and guns, you can defeat me from the front. I will never give up. If you use this kind of conspiracy and trickery, even if you capture me, I will not accept it."
"Haha... This is what you said. Don't turn your back and deny it when the time comes. You really think you are invincible! The reason why I use so many small tricks is just that I don't want my soldiers to sacrifice in vain. I'm not really afraid of you. Wait.
It’s over, no one else is needed. I will lead my men to confront you head-on. If I don’t beat you to the point where you kneel down and call me grandpa, I will send you off personally!” Skullcrusher Mikey said with a cold look.
"This is what you said, and we swear to prove it."
"I will swear an oath to prove it. I thought you were afraid of me."
"Since you've sworn it as proof, why don't you let me go? Are you still afraid that I'll run away?"
"Swearing to be a witness is swearing to be a witness. Letting go is another matter. What if you really run away? I can't run away from you!"
"Are you questioning my character?"
"No, this has nothing to do with character. It's just a matter of being careful. I don't want to become the laughing stock of the entire Eternal Night Legion. Anyway, I have already sworn to bear witness to it. Just stay calm and you will be finished in a short time!
"
"That won't work. Now I'm a little doubtful of your integrity. Does your oath really count? Can you really make the decision? I heard that young Sean is the real general of your Eternal Night Army and has the final say.
The one!"
"Don't sow discord here. Compared to Clayton and others, your level is a bit immature. I have a strong relationship with Sean. Other people can't make the decision, but this person can still make the decision."
, I will help him conquer a champion knight, and he will wake up laughing in his dreams!"
"There's no competition yet, how can you be sure that you will definitely win? I will definitely be loyal to him? I think it is more likely that you will send me off respectfully!"
"Hehe... If you were talking about fighting alone, I might be a little more afraid of you, but in an army battle, I really deserve to be with you."
"I hope you will still be so confident when you go into battle!"
Andis Tiger Tagore had a sneer on his face. He knew that his chances of escaping today were slim, so he might as well try to get a chance to survive first.
The so-called swearing as evidence was nothing more than asking for an immortal amulet.
At least he showed the possibility of surrender, so the opponent wouldn't be able to kill him immediately.
No one can resist the temptation of loyalty to a champion knight, and Rabindranath Tagore was absolutely confident of this.
Who says rough people have no plans? In order to survive, Tagore's calculations were crackling and he prepared a way out for himself.
However, he also knew in his heart that the so-called swearing as evidence was 80% one-sided - even if he really defeated McGee, it would be difficult to gain freedom.
This all depends on the thoughts of those in power.
Who made them fall into the trap and become prisoners from the beginning!
As for the Skull Crusher McGee, of course he had his own plans. Not to mention, at least Tagore's will to resist was completely worn away, and at least he would not have any thoughts of dying together with him.
When he rushed out when his head was hot, he wanted to make a meritorious deed and catch a big fish, not to seek death.
With the credit of capturing Tagore, the strongest general of the Walled City Alliance, and the opportunity to subdue him, he was less likely to be criticized by Sean afterwards.
This beheading operation of the Walled City Alliance was all part of the Evernight Legion's calculations. No, to be more precise, it was planned by Sean and Hawkeye Special Agents using counterintelligence methods. The Walled City Alliance was just
They led by the nose and stepped into this huge trap step by step.
Originally, the Eternal Night Army wanted to catch a wave of elites from the Walled City Alliance, but who would have thought that the city lords of the Walled City Alliance, with their heads burning, actually took action personally and plunged into the trap of the Eternal Night Army.
I wanted to catch sharks, but I caught a big whale.
Fortunately, Sean always likes to be steady when doing things, and the fishing rope was strong enough to prevent the big whale from breaking free or biting him back.
But among the many traps, there was absolutely no Skullcrusher Mikey who rushed out alone. According to Sean's character, it was impossible to make such a dangerous arrangement.
Mikey, the pure skull-crusher, saw that Tagore was too quick to react. He jumped out of their encirclement before they could fully activate. He was eager to achieve success, and with a twitch of his brain, he rushed out single-handedly.
Fortunately, the overall layout of the Eternal Night Legion was not destroyed. Sean, who was sitting behind, made some adjustments in time.
As for the previous flame isolation zone, it was not specially prepared for Skullcrusher McGee, but was prepared to protect the stronghold.
Skullcrusher Mikey knew this, and during his entanglement with Tagore, he consciously walked to the nearest fortress to take advantage of the situation to protect himself.
In the end, even those who kept shouting not to enter the Eternal Night Army and took the initiative to open the stronghold, finally retreated involuntarily, because the Eternal Night Army obviously forced them to take this step.
The traps are interlocking, one after another. No matter whether you advance or retreat, it is a dead end. Only the fortress has become a living door.
