Chapter 323 Catapult, launch
Island?
Jiang Tian was stunned after hearing the news.
According to normal logic, this island should not be the island of other survivors.
Huo Qubing and his team set out to the south before. If someone else drove the island from that direction, they would definitely run into the bandits.
Could it be that Huo Qubing and his team are back?
So fast?
Jiang Tian felt something was wrong and followed the patrol member to the south of the island.
In the field of vision, there is indeed an island heading towards him.
And the speed is very fast. The island is getting closer and closer to him. Soon he can see the decoration on the island. There is a big word "Ma" written on the sail hanging on it.
It is indeed the island of Huo Qubing and others!
At the same time, their return this time is different from the past.
This time, the speed of the group returning is too fast, as if they are turning the fan without caring about their lives.
Could it be that they encountered an emergency?
Jiang Tian was thinking about this. On the other side, the bandit island saw their own piece of land of nearly 10,000 square meters and began to control the speed.
This time, they did not stop at the pier in the east, but rushed directly to the south of the island.
Under inertia, even if the fan stopped turning and slowed down, the small island still collided with the large island.
"Bang!"
With this muffled sound, the soil on the edge of the small island was broken up a little.
And the men on the small island also hurriedly got off the "bicycle", paved the two islands into a road with wooden boards, and then they went directly to their own island.
At this time.
The six men who were mainly responsible for pedaling the fan were already exhausted.
After landing on the island, they were pale and collapsed on the ground gasping for breath.
At this time, Sun Simiao, who felt the movement and walked out of the door, was shocked when he saw this scene.
He hurriedly trotted to the south of the island and ordered his other men:
"Hurry, help them up, don't let them lie on the ground like this!"
Hearing this, the men who came to check the situation hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up, and walked towards the stone brick house according to Sun Simiao's instructions.
But Jiang Tian himself didn't know what happened.
Before he had time to ask, he saw Lao An and Zhang San still standing on the south of the island looking forward, and Huo Qubing strode to his side, bowed his hands and reported with a serious face:
"My lord, we found a monster this time!"
"Monster? What monster?"
As soon as Jiang Tian asked this, he heard other patrol members pointing to the south and shouting:
"Look over there, there seems to be something flying over there! And it's bright!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian turned his head to look.
In front of him, there was indeed something flying towards him. It didn't look like an island, but more like a bug.
At the same time, Huo Qubing continued to describe:
"This thing looks like a bug, but it is huge and has a hard shell that can block the attack of crossbow arrows! Moreover, flames can come out of its body!"
Afterwards, Huo Qubing spoke quickly and simply told his group's experience, the defensive power of the dragon fly's scales, and the injuries it was carrying.
After listening to these descriptions, Jiang Tian looked at the thing flying in his field of vision and frowned.
"This... is this the 'dragon fly' I saw on the world channel before? Not only can it spit fire, but its defensive power is also so strong?"
No one talked about this thing during this period of time, and Jiang Tian thought that this so-called dragon fly disappeared or ran away to another place.
Who would have thought that he would be encountered by his own people!
At this time, Jiang Tian recalled the remarks made by the survivors who saw this thing in his area and CNNX area.
Combining what the two parties said, this thing is in the gap between the two areas, but he forgot about it!
Afterwards, Jiang Tian looked at the situation on the island again.
21 crossbow arrows, all used up.
This is the first time that the crossbow arrows have been used up since the business trip, and it has not caused fatal damage to the enemy.
Fortunately, there are no casualties at present.
At this time, there is no time to say too much, Jiang Tian directly ordered:
"You go to rest first, let me deal with this monster."
"No!"
Huo Qubing knelt on one knee and bowed.
"My lord, please give the order, let us fight to the end!"
Seeing this, Jiang Tian was stunned.
But he nodded and agreed to Huo Qubing's request.
Then Huo Qubing stood up and shouted:
"All men listen to orders, if there is a monster coming, use large weapons to kill it!"
"Yes!"
Following Huo Qubing's order, Lao An and Zhang San temporarily left the separated island.
In addition to a few people who continued to patrol the surrounding area of the island, a group of strong men at the fishing place, blacksmith shop and other positions stopped their work at the same time, and pushed all the large weapons to the south of the island according to Huo Qubing's order.
At present, including the old version of the crossbow cart made before and the new version of the crossbow cart improved by Lu Ban later, there are a total of 15 crossbow carts on the island!
Under the push of the crowd, the 15 crossbow carts were neatly arranged in a row on the south side of the island. Dozens of people loaded arrows at the same time, and the scene was extremely grand!
"Crossbows are in place!"
"Crossbows are in place!"
"..."
With the shouts of the men, all the crossbows have been loaded with arrows made of wooden stakes.
Huo Qubing looked coldly at the dragon fly flying towards him and waved his arm.
"Fire!"
For a moment.
The "click" sound of the trigger being pulled was endless, and a row of crossbow carts fired at the same time, and 15 crossbow arrows flew off the string and hit the flying object!
Seeing this posture, the dragon fly was also startled and quickly curled up.
"Swish!"
"Bang Bang!"
"Bang Bang Bang!"
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air and the sound of stones breaking continued to sound on the dragon fly.
Although it hit the scales and did not cause any damage to the dragon fly's body, it was hit by the impact and turned over in the air.
This time.
This time, the dragon fly became even more angry.
It chased all the way and was shot all the way by this inexplicable thing!
Through this chasing experience, even if its IQ is not very high, it can find that this thing needs a period of recovery after attacking before it can fire again.
Then, taking advantage of the interval of the crossbow carts reloading arrows, the dragon fly flapped its wings and rushed towards the island!
But there were many crossbow carts, and under Huo Qubing's arrangement, the crossbow carts were divided into two groups to fire in turn!
The dragon fly didn't rush much distance at all, and encountered another round of volleys, and could only curl up again to protect its internal organs from being hurt.
This time, the dragon fly figured it out.
Taking advantage of the frequency of this round of volleys to stop, it didn't rush to the big island in front of it.
Instead, it adjusted the angle to fly to the side for a distance to avoid the crossbow arrows, and then flapped its wings again to increase its height by a few meters.
This time, the crossbow cart launched an attack again, but because of the insufficient height, all the crossbow arrows shot out fell into the air.
Seeing this, the dragon fly also took advantage of the height advantage and continued to fly towards the island with a blazing fire!
At this time, it was less than 50 meters away from the island!
Seeing this scene, the men's hearts trembled.
"This guy is flying too high, the crossbow can't hit him!"
"What should we do? How about we lift the front end of the crossbow and fire it?"
At this moment, Lao An, Zhang San, and several other men shouted:
"The catapult has been loaded!"
Hearing this, Huo Qubing looked at the dragon fly emitting fire and showing off its might in the air, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Catapult, fire!"
