Chapter 642 Giant Crossbow Formation

Zhang Chunfeng was leading the human army to advance quickly, when a sentry from behind caught up and reported:

"General Zhang, a group of Tier 4 monsters are chasing from behind. There are sixty-eight monsters in total. They will catch up soon."

While they were marching, they deployed sentries in all directions, and these sentries used messenger talismans to convey information. Due to the limited transmission distance of the messenger talismans, they had to go through several relays before they could reach the army.

There is a special agency in the army, which is responsible for communicating with sentries everywhere.

The speed of the fourth-tier demon clan is naturally more than ten times faster than that of the monk army, so it is impossible to escape now.

"Send the order, stop advancing, and prepare for war on the spot!"

Although there are tens of thousands of human troops, there are only 25 Nascent Soul cultivators, and many Jindan cultivators have been transferred.

It may be difficult to deal with these sixty-eight fourth-order monsters.

Tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment and Tier 2 fighters can play a very limited role in front of Nascent Soul cultivators.

If all these people put their lives to the fight, they can also kill a few Nascent Soul cultivators, but the loss in doing so is too great, and the entire army may be wiped out.

This is an approach, neither Zhang Chunfeng nor Wang Hong is willing.

Fortunately, this situation was anticipated before setting off from Qizhou Island this time. There are no rules on the battlefield, and the chances of low-level monks facing high-level monks are definitely high.

For this reason, Chen Xiaofeng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, spent two or three years developing two kinds of giant crossbow magic weapons.

A kind of giant crossbow is driven by mana, which can be filled with arrow magic weapons that have been refined in advance, or can be directly condensed into arrows with mana.

This kind of crossbow requires a hundred foundation-building cultivators to input their mana at the same time, and each shot will almost drain the mana of these hundred people.

Another type of crossbow is suitable for warriors. Warriors have no mana, and this kind of crossbow is operated purely with great power.

It also requires a hundred people to operate at the same time each time, shooting arrows, or one-time magic weapons, such as the red flame beads that can release the Golden Crow Fire.

When a low-level monk is against a high-level monk, apart from being too weak, the biggest disadvantage is the gap in attack distance.

Cultivator Nascent Soul can reach more than two miles in consciousness, and the attack distance of the imperial envoy's magic weapon can also reach two miles. The Nascent Soul cultivator will definitely not run up to you to let you fight in order to challenge you to a higher level.

The spiritual consciousness of the monks who established the foundation can only reach ten feet at most, and they have no chance against high-level monks.

Of course, there are some body-training monks or monsters who are good at close combat, but in actual combat, monks of the same level dare not let them get close, and even lower-level monks dare not.

The biggest advantage of this kind of giant crossbow is that it makes up for the shortcoming of low-level monks in distance, with a range of five miles, giving low-level monks a chance to attack high-level monks.

After Zhang Chunfeng's general order was handed down, under the command of generals at all levels, tens of thousands of people selected favorable terrain, and each group of a thousand people formed a group.

When the human army set off, there were a total of 70,000 people. Now after several wars, they have lost 1,000 people, and there are more than 65,000 people left.

The foundation building and second-tier warriors in the team formed a total of sixty giant crossbow arrays, while Jindan or third-tier warriors formed a group of one hundred people and formed more than forty giant crossbow arrays.

A total of more than one hundred giant crossbows are densely packed and arranged according to certain rules, so that they can support each other and attack at the same time.

As long as a monster breaks into the range of the crossbow formation, it will be attacked by most of the crossbows.

The army of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom had practiced countless times on Qizhou Island before, and soon the giant crossbow was assembled, and the personnel were in place, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

It was the first time for the monks in the Southern Region to see this kind of thing, and their organization and discipline were not as good as the soldiers of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

For this reason, while distributing the giant crossbows to them, each group was assigned two instructors to teach them how to use the giant crossbows.

Although the proficiency is definitely not as good as the soldiers of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, it is worse than nothing.

The twenty-five Nascent Soul monks in the team are standing in the air at this moment, and they are all within the range of the giant crossbow array, so that the two can also support each other.

Moreover, the giant crossbow array cannot move, and can only wait here for the enemy to come to the door. If the battlefield of the Nascent Soul cultivator is too far away, the monks of the giant crossbow array can only stare blankly.

After the arrangement of the giant crossbow array was completed, everyone seized the time to recover their mana on the spot, trying to keep themselves in the best condition before the big battle.

"The giant crossbow array below needs a Nascent Soul cultivator to assist in commanding. Wang Yi, I will leave this matter to you!"

Zhang Chunfeng arranged for Wang Yi that this battle was too dangerous, and he didn't want anything to happen to Wang Hong's brother here.

"Brother Zhang! Are you looking down on me? You should arrange another person!"

Wang Yi naturally would not agree. All the sword cultivators of Taihaozong are militants. He grew up in the environment of Taihaozong, and naturally he is no exception.

"Your spiritual consciousness is stronger, and it is more suitable to command the giant crossbow array."

"Brother Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. Allowing me to face the fourth-order monsters of the Yaozu will be more helpful in this battle. Moreover, even if my brother is here, he will agree to my participation in the battle."

It is true that the giant crossbow formation still needs a Nascent Soul cultivator to command it with divine sense, but it is not difficult. Any Nascent Soul can do it, otherwise it would be a failure in Chen Xiaofeng's design.

Wang Yi, as one of the best combat forces in the current team, would be too wasteful if he were sent to command the crossbow array.

The two argued for a few more words, and in the end Zhang Chunfeng could only make concessions and let Wang Yi join the battle head-on.

This time, when Wang Hong left, he kept all the monks with stronger fighting power in the team, including Wang Yi and Jia Liang.

In addition, people like Sloppy Old Daoist, Ling Shuai, Zhang Chunfeng, and Hu Jian are in the second echelon of strength.

Apart from being sloppy and old-fashioned, their qualifications are not particularly outstanding, or even poor, but they have followed Wang Hong for a long time, and they have won Wang Hong's trust.

Usually get a lot of resources, and later through the transformation of Xuanlingye, the qualifications have been improved.

At this time, sixty-eight rainbow lights appeared in the distance, flying towards them rapidly.

Seeing this, everyone in the human army secretly mobilized mana, trying to gain an advantage in the first strike.

Generally, in this kind of battle, there is very little practice of both sides talking harshly first, and those who talk too much are often killed, and those who are left are those who are not talkative, and they are ruthless when they meet.

When the two sides were still two miles apart, each of them resorted to their strongest means and blasted towards the opposite side.

The one hundred giant crossbows on the ground also shot huge arrows at the same time, flying towards the opposite side with a sharp whining sound.

In mid-air, various spells collided with each other, making this area so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
