Chapter 525
What is going on?
Tang San moved his head, no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a reason.
Beside Tang San, the pretty Xiao Wu looked at her third brother, then faced Dai Mubai, and smiled playfully.
"Brother Mubai, wouldn't it be good to send someone to take a look? Maybe it's just something happened on the road, and it might not be delayed."
delay?
Dai Mubai sat back on it again, thought for a while, then raised his head, looking at the soldier who was still kneeling in front of him.
"Go, send someone to see what's going on."
"Yes!"
The soldier responded solemnly, got up, and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Dai Mubai seemed to remember something again, stretched out his hand to call the soldier back.
"and many more."
"Is there anything else the boss wants?"
The soldier stood bowed, respectful.
Dai Mubai pointed to the table and waved his hand.
"Arrange a few more people and go on fast horses. Go to City B first. If City B is no problem, go to City C. If City C is not okay, go to City D. If City Ding is no problem, go to City E. Go south all the way to see where it comes from. There was a mistake."
"Yes!"
The soldier responded solemnly again, then turned around and left the tent...
A while later, in the Star Luo Empire barracks, a few soldiers took off their armor, put on sergeant clothes, and rode out from the gate of the Star Luo Empire barracks on horseback.
Their horses ran very fast, and the whips in their hands kept whipping on the horse's buttocks...
A day and a half later, that is, the morning of the third day, in the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, north of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress.
Several soldiers were riding fast horses and were running on the small road north of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress.
They didn't wear any armor on their bodies, and they all wore the commoner clothes of the Star Luo Empire.
It was the soldiers sent out by Dai Mubai to inquire about the news!
Among the soldiers, a younger soldier complained.
"Running so far is really tiresome, thirsty and tired."
While talking, the soldier tugged at his collar, it was really unbearable.
At the front of the few people, an older soldier looked ahead without turning his head, cheering for the young soldier.
"Keep going, we will soon reach the Haagen-Dazs Pass, let's take a rest inside."
After he said this, the soldiers around him relaxed a little, and their expressions were more relaxed.
For the past day and a half, except for six or seven hours of sleep at night, they have been on the road non-stop, even eating in a hurry, after a few bites, they hurried on the road.
Along the way, they ran to five cities in a row, but without exception, these cities said that it was not their own problem, but that there was no food delivery in the rear, and the food in the city was a temporary reserve of a small number of garrison troops, which was only enough Garrison eats it himself.
Helpless, they can only continue south to find the root of the problem.
Where is the problem?
The older soldier frowned thoughtfully.
At this moment, suddenly, a soldier next to him spoke loudly and pointed forward.
"Look, that seems to be the flag of the Spirit Empire!"
Ok?
The old soldier followed the sound and looked up, only to see in the distance, a flag hanging high on the north wall of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, with a vivid pattern of a seraph on it.
It is really the banner of the Wuhun Empire!
The old soldier turned pale with fright, and a terrifying possibility instantly occurred to his mind.
Is it...!
He pulled the reins vigorously, tried his best to stop the horse, then turned the horse's head and shouted: "Quick retreat, go back to Wucheng!"
Just after he finished shouting, in less than two seconds, in the distance, in the direction of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, several dazzling red lights flew over, accompanied by the eardrum-piercing sound of "Woo!" In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of him and several soldiers.
"puff!"
The bright red blood soared to the sky, and the bright and beautiful flowers bloomed, reflecting the beautiful red brilliance in the sun.
The old soldier lowered his head with difficulty, only to see a big hole in his chest, with blood gushing out from the hole.
Behind him, another soldier had a long javelin smeared with blood on his chest. The head of the javelin had been pierced long ago, and only a little bit of the tail could still be seen, which remained on this soldier.
This scene also appeared on several soldiers nearby.
The faces of several soldiers were full of unwillingness, and then they fell from their horses and fell to the ground. Only the young soldier before was luckier and did not have a javelin stuck in his body.
"Wow!"
The young soldier screamed in fright, turned his horse's head around quickly, and rushed northward towards Wucheng.
It's too scary, it turned out to be a city defense crossbow, I don't want to die!
The young soldier swung his whip with all his strength, and lashed his horse under his crotch, causing the horse to neigh in pain.
And after the soldier left, in the direction of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, several soldiers wearing the standard military uniform of the Wuhun Empire stood in front of a large crossbow on the city wall, curling their lips.
"Cut, missed, one ran away."
In front of these soldiers was a strange crossbow.
This is a rather large crossbow. The stretched crossbow string is 1.8 meters long. The crossbow arms are bent repeatedly, the middle position is concave inward, the crossbow arms at both ends are bent outward, and then slightly bent inward when reaching the tip of the crossbow.
It is consistent with the curved compound bow and the god arm crossbow!
Moreover, this giant crossbow is not a single crossbow arm, but a total of three crossbow arms, two of which are bent forward as a whole and placed in front, and one bent backward and placed at the back.
Use weapons against Titled Douluo, the three-bow bed crossbow!
A little far away from the city wall where the three bows and crossbows were located, in the watchtower, Meng De sat on a chair and was drinking a cup of green tea.
He held the middle of the earless teacup with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, picked up the teacup, blew it lightly in front of himself, and took a sip.
Green tea is light and refreshing, with the special coolness when inhaling, which makes people refreshed and fuller.
Meng De took two sips and put down the teacup.
He turned his head, and following his gaze, there were neatly lined up on the city wall at a certain distance...a whole row of three-bow bed crossbows!
These were all asked by Meng De to Qian Nawei, and then Qian Nawei called and asked the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Wuhun Empire to find them from the Tiandou City weapon storage.
Before the 88mm smoothbore armor-piercing gun was manufactured, the Wuhun Empire army also installed some three-bow bed crossbows, but with the advent of smooth-bore armor-piercing guns soon, these three-bow bed crossbows were eliminated.
Most of the three-bow bed crossbows have been disassembled, and the wood used to assemble them to make recurve compound bows or god-arm crossbows, only a part of them survived, and a small amount entered the Tiandou Museum.
The group that Meng De is now placing on the city wall is part of the surviving ones.
The reason why the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is not used is that the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is too heavy to be lifted up and cannot be lowered.
On the other hand, the smoothbore armor-piercing gun is also a gun with a certain elevation angle, and the design of the smoothbore cannot be used to shoot downwards at a depression angle. If it is placed on the city wall, it will leave a large dead angle and cannot hit the enemy.
In this way, the three-bow bed crossbow undoubtedly became the best choice.
Under the city wall, there are several winding trenches. From above, only the heads and backs of soldiers can be seen.
These trenches are dug quite narrow, the bottom is only about fifty centimeters, and some are less than!
In such a trench, a soldier can barely stand up, and if two people are together, they will squeeze each other.
This is for avoiding projectile weapons. The narrower the trench, the lower the probability of projectile weapons being thrown. On the contrary, if the trench is the same as in the drama, it is dug like a flood channel, and the wide one can even accommodate a car. , that will have no effect.
Inside the watchtower on the city wall, after drinking tea, Meng De got up, walked down the stairs of the watchtower, and walked down the watchtower.
His mission has basically been completed, and the rest is to wait for the Star Luo Empire army to attack the city by itself, while he sits in the city and waits for the rabbit.
As for defending the city, Meng De wasn't worried at all.
The fortifications on the north side of the Haagen-Dazs Pass fortress can't be penetrated by needles or splashed by water. Even if Tang San and Dai Mubai bring hundreds of thousands of people, Meng De is confident that they can completely block it.
Under the city wall, Meng De came out of the watchtower and came to a small room.
Entering the room, he took off his clothes embroidered with the Wuhun Empire seraph badge and several gold star badges, and changed into a set of clothes embroidered with a white tiger head.
Star Luo Empire standard military uniform!
Putting on the Star Luo Empire costume, Meng De walked on the street, and after a while, he came to the south of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, at the South City Gate.
On the wall of the south city gate, there was a flag embroidered with a white tiger's head, just like the logo on the chest of the clothes Meng De was wearing at the moment.
The flag of the Star Luo Empire!
Under the city wall, that is, at the gate of the city, are several soldiers holding refined iron spears, facing south.
These soldiers are all under Mengde's command, but they all wear the same clothes as Mengde's.
Star Luo Empire military uniform!
Outside the city gate, a group of soldiers escorted a large amount of food and grass, and were preparing to enter the city.
Meng De saw it and waved his hand.
"Stop, it's enough to deliver the food and grass here, we will take care of it, you go back."
The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire who were in charge of escorting the grain were immediately overjoyed.
"Is that so? Thank you so much!"
Saying that, the leading Star Luo Empire soldier waved his hand, and directly called the small group of soldiers he was leading to turn around and walk back south.
"Go, brothers, go back and drink."
Although escorting food and grass is easier than going to the front line, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. It will make people very tired when they go up the mountain or it rains. Meng De can let them stop here, and they will naturally is very happy.
At the gate of the city, a small group of Star Luo Empire soldiers left. Several soldiers under Meng De stepped forward and quickly transported a convoy of food into the city.
Meng De looked at it, and ordered a few soldiers to pay attention to the movement at all times, not to show their feet, then turned around and entered the city.
After a leisurely day in the city, it was evening, dinner time.
Meng De put on his Wuhun Empire uniform again and came to the cafeteria.
At this time, there were already many soldiers in the cafeteria, and everyone was queuing up to get their meals, orderly.
