Chapter 99 Suzaku Formation
This is a large-scale crossbow that has never been seen before. It is fired from a distance of 150 feet. The crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm are ejected by a spiritual light visible to the naked eye, and the attack is extremely fast and violent.
The small magic formations deployed at each city gate could not stop the impact of the giant crossbow. The huge crossbow body was shot at the city head, and most of them were directly nailed to the city wall, inserting a full three feet into the city wall, causing damage to the city wall.
Fly directly over and shoot into the city.
The defenders on the city wall immediately blocked the attack. A golden elixir monk flew out his long sword and struck at the giant crossbow. The long sword struck the crossbow pole and was knocked away seven to eighty feet, falling somewhere far away in the city.
, this Jindan spiritual consciousness was injured, he immediately vomited blood, his face turned pale, and he was injured on the spot.
The giant crossbow was deflected by the flying sword, flew out diagonally in the air, swept across the street corner, and destroyed half of a house.
The power of a crossbow is so powerful!
When Gu Zuo raised an army to fight against Xianyu Xiang, he also obtained a batch of "scrapped" French crossbows from Chen Xuanli's Longwu Army warehouse, and showed their skills in the Menngle Mountain ambush. This kind of crossbow is also called a hand crossbow, and it is a single-person crossbow.
In operation, the arrows are only one foot long, using the tendons of monster beasts as strings, and the arrowheads are made of special gold and iron, which has the effect of breaking armor.
This is the standard French crossbow popular in the Tang army. The most exquisite batch was refined by the craftsman of the Ministry of Industry in the workshop of Chang'an. During these days, the craftsman worked day and night to make it. It has been used by the Beiya and Nanya Imperial Guards.
Equipped with 1,500 pieces.
Gu Zuo once thought that the Chang'an Forbidden Army was unique in the world when it came to war-defending magic weapons. Even if they had little combat experience and weak fighting will, they could still perform well with their sophisticated magic armor and magic weapons. Unexpectedly, he saw the rebels using them today.
Heavy magic crossbow, self-confidence suffered a heavy blow.
Regarding heavy-duty magic crossbows, Gu Zuo had not thought about refining a batch in the past, but after understanding the principles and methods of supervising the refining of magic crossbows, he understood that he wanted to refine the "ballista" in his mind.
”, which is extremely difficult.
First of all, the bones and muscles of heaven-level monsters are needed to make the string and crossbow frame, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the huge shock force of the bullet.
The second is the fine iron arrow shaft. The huge shaft and the force of the shot require very high strength. In addition, the breaking and armor-breaking effects can be used to refine such a giant crossbow and a mid-to-high-end one.
There is no difference in the magic weapon, but it can only be regarded as a one-time consumable item.
As a result, it is difficult to refine, difficult to use, and the cost is too expensive. Maybe you can refine a ballista to test your idea, or play with it, but on the battlefield, the cost-effectiveness ratio is extremely low.
Cost effective.
At this moment, we don't have to worry about the cost-effectiveness of the crossbows. We must first block this round of rebel attacks.
Without Gu Zuo's orders, Chen Xuanli, who was responsible for guarding the south city wall, had strictly ordered the Jindan and below monks not to use the magic crossbow, but instead summoned five Nascent Soul monks in the city to be responsible for intercepting it.
However, the puppet Yan rebels launched nearly a hundred ballistae at once, and no matter how hard the five Nascent Soul monks tried, they could only intercept less than half of them.
The remaining ones were either stuck on the city wall and became a ladder for the rebels to climb into the city, or they were forced into the city, destroying houses, killing and injuring the people, and triggering waves of panic in the city.
This was definitely not the way to go. Chen Xuanli, Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Siye, Li Guangbi and other generals gathered around Gu Zuo, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Gu Zuo still made up his mind: "Inform King Qi and ask him to launch the Suzaku Formation."
The Suzaku Formation is powerful, but its consumption is also staggering. In fact, this formation has been prepared for a long time. When it is not actually activated, it consumes two hundred spirit stones every day to maintain the minimum operation requirements. Once it is activated and used for offense and defense, it consumes 200 spirit stones every day.
The consumption of spiritual stones will suddenly rise to one thousand, and this is still the minimum consumption. If it responds to a stronger attack, the peak consumption will reach 10,000 spiritual stones per hour!
If it exceeds 10,000, it means that the formation has been breached.
After receiving the report, King Qi immediately activated the formation eyes on Zhuque Street. All the formation disks in the 108 squares of Chang'an were activated, and colorful brilliance shone in the sky.
The projection of the imperial palace was first reflected in the sky, forming the head of the Suzaku, followed by the projections of the 108 inner squares, transforming the Suzaku's body, limbs, and even wings.
King Qi walked on the Zhuque Street and saw the Suzaku that was about to transform into shape. He waved his left hand sleeve, and the shadow of the west wing rose up to the bird's head and turned into a smart eye. His right hand sleeve waved, and the east wing transformed into the Suzaku's head.
Right eye.
After the eyes were formed, the bird screamed, spread its wings, and shook off its feathers. These feathers seemed to be falling slowly, but they were extremely delicate and blocked every incoming giant crossbow, turning into pieces.
The flames burned extremely fast, burning the crossbow body to ashes within a few breaths before the crossbow arrow hit the city wall and swept through the streets.
The Suzaku Formation blocked the ballista's fire, but it also consumed thousands of spirit stones in one stick of incense. The intensity of the attack had reached 50% of the maximum endurance of the Suzaku Formation!
Although the rebels did not know the limits of the Suzaku Formation, they understood the reason for strengthening the attack and applying continuous pressure. An Shouzhong and Cai Xide appeared at Yanxing Gate, Tian Chengsi mainly attacked Mingde Gate, Cui Qianyou and Yin Ziqi
To attack Gwanghwamun, dozens of large and small offensive formations took action at the same time, working together to attack Chang'an.
This was the first full-scale attack by the rebels in more than half a month of siege. The pressure on the Suzaku Formation suddenly increased, and at one point it reached the point where seven thousand spiritual stones were consumed in an hour.
All the armies in the city are also trying their best to relieve the pressure of the Suzaku Formation. Everyone knows that once the formation is broken, they will face brutal street fighting and the prosperous Chang'an will be destroyed.
Chang'an City was under fierce attack, and Longshouyuan Dazhai could not rest idle. The two sides were very close to each other, and their respective battle conditions and situations were clear at a glance.
Kusang Taoist led 200 heavy armored cavalry of the Southern Wu Army to attack. Gao Xianzhi followed with 2,000 troops, opened the gate of the village, and fought out. The rebels were also prepared, and 5,000 people from Shi Siming's troops came to rob Longshouyuan Dazhai. Both sides immediately
Kill in a group.
Gu Zuo was observing the fighting in various places at the top of the city. No matter Chang'an or Longshouyuan Dazhai, there was no danger of the city being breached in the short term. However, he had been waiting eagerly at the top of the city, waiting for Anlu Mountain and Dugu Wen.
Su Su and Shi Siming took action on the three major methods of refining the void.
King Qi is also waiting for the opportunity to go into battle. No matter who among the three major refiners comes, he will go up to pick up the next one. The three leaders of the Lishui faction, including Sanniangzi, plus Tang Shisan, work together to deal with it.
One. The last person to practice Xu, Gu Zuo's idea was to be resisted by himself, Chen Xuanli, Li Guangbi, and Guo Ziyi.
But if the battle becomes too intense, the pressure on the Suzaku Formation may exceed the critical limit, which is what he is most worried about.
There are two solutions. One is to lead the battle with the three major Lianxu to the outside of the battlefield, and the other is to destroy the enemy's ballista by surprise before the three major Lianxu take action.
