Chapter 119 Super Giant Crossbow vs. Super Giant Shield
Reading Settings
"General, although we have 30,000 men, that behemoth is too terrifying. We must not underestimate it. In my opinion, we must prepare at least three foolproof plans to deal with this behemoth, otherwise it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Nai'erbusi, who had retreated all the way from the North Gate Pass, knelt before the General of the Garrison.
This was his immediate superior, the General of the Garrison, who was equivalent to the commander of a region of six or seven hundred miles around. The entire defense zone in this area was under his jurisdiction, and one can imagine the extent of his power.
Of course, how could someone who can reach the position of General of the Garrison be someone who is ignorant of military strategy?
As the commander of an army, Doyan Wugu had already devised two foolproof plans and felt they were foolproof.
"I know a little about the affairs of this world. Water and fire are merciless, and this is never just an empty saying. To deal with that giant beast, I have prepared two foolproof plans and a scheme specifically designed for it. I am not afraid that it will not come."
"General Nai'erbusi, you should stop talking. Instead of wasting your time, you should think about how you will face His Majesty the Emperor after the giant beast is killed and explain the matter of the eight thousand Jin soldiers being naked. If you cannot explain this matter clearly, you will damage the prestige of our Great Jin and violate military discipline. His Majesty will certainly not let you off the hook."
"well……!"
Nairbusi sighed deeply:
"I really didn't expect that the Later Han Dynasty could come up with such a powerful weapon!"
Nai'erbusi's eight thousand Jin soldiers had just entered Qinglong Pass, and not long after, Liu Fu and Jingang had already caught up.
Looking out at the distant horizon, a long stretch of the Great Wall stretched out before them, a truly magnificent sight that even Liu Fu was amazed by.
Qinglong Pass is not a simple pass.
The territory of the Later Jin was similar to that of the Liao Dynasty, with many plains and grasslands, and frequent strong winds, so the further one went into the region, the less mountainous terrain there was to block the way.
In order to set up a second line of defense behind the North Gate, in order to prevent the enemy from breaking through the North Gate and advancing rapidly into the country.
Then someone began to design Qinglong Pass based on the entire Daqingshan Mountain.
The Daqingshan Mountains stretched across this grassland. Though called mountains, they were really just a cluster of hills a hundred meters high, offering no real resistance to the enemy's advance.
But after a hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall was built on this hundred-meter-high hill, the situation immediately changed.
This place instantly transformed into a massive fortress stretching for hundreds of miles, blocking all invading enemies!
Whether you are an infantryman or an archer, even the fearsome Liao cavalry, when you come to Qinglong Pass, you can only look at it with longing and sigh. They simply cannot break through. It can be described as an excellent fortress.
It took the Later Jin dynasty more than ten years to build this hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall, and it has been continuously repaired since then, so that this magnificent hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall can be presented to the world and let people see this majestic building.
“This place is great. There’s a stone Great Wall that’s over a hundred miles long. If we could move it back to the Later Han Dynasty and place it on the border of the Later Han Dynasty, wouldn’t that save us more than ten years of time building the Great Wall?”
"Wow, I'm such a genius!"
To say that Liu Fu's mind is full of all sorts of ingenious ideas is an understatement; there are simply too many.
At this moment, the bold idea that came to his mind was to move the entire Qinglong Pass, this hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall, back to the Later Han Dynasty.
As Liu Fu pondered, he also began to assess the length of Qinglong Pass:
“A hundred li seems like a lot, but in reality, the border in Liaodong is more than three hundred li long, directly bordering the Later Jin. Going back over a hundred li will only save a third of the effort; we still need to find a way to get the rest.”
But soon, Liu Fu came up with another idea.
"If a hundred-mile-long stone wall isn't enough, then tear down the wall!"
“That’s right, how come I didn’t think of that? Just dismantle the walls of a few more of their cities, and see how much my animal breeding ranch can hold. Dismantle it all, then dig the foundation, and bury these hundred-mile-long stone walls and city walls inside the foundation.”
"Great idea, really great idea."
As Liu Fu spoke and pondered, Jin Gang had already approached the city wall.
This time, as soon as he arrived outside Qinglong Pass, Liu Fu's eyes immediately fell on the super-large crossbow standing on Qinglong Pass!
These crossbows were so large that they were suspended between the battlements above Qinglong Pass. It would take several hundred people to pull the ropes together to trigger one of them.
Looking at the crossbow bolts on this super-large crossbow, they were as thick as a person's waist. The bolts were enormous, and the sharpest points were made of fine iron, their arrowheads gleaming. Even from a distance, Liu Fu could tell they were incredibly sharp.
Upon seeing this thing, Liu Fu laughed:
"Seven, look how scared you were of those Jin soldiers last time. They made such a big crossbow specifically to guard against you."
Upon hearing Liu Fu's words, Xingqi immediately roared excitedly, becoming incredibly excited and eager to rush up Qinglong Pass and have a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers on the pass.
But Liu Fu knew that if such a terrifyingly large crossbow bolt were to actually hit Xing Qi, he would likely be seriously injured no matter what.
After all, although the Seventh Gorilla has thick skin and a defense far superior to other ferocious beasts, it is still just one of the many living creatures.
Thinking of this, Liu Fu couldn't help but feel a pang of worry:
"Don't be too cocky this time, take out the new shield I exchanged for you yesterday."
Xingqi let out a low growl, clearly unwilling, as if to say that fighting with a shield wasn't fun enough and made him look cowardly and lose face.
Liu Fu slapped Xingqi's big head:
"You idiot, this shield is for your protection. I know your body can withstand a dozen crossbow bolts like these, but getting injured is secondary. Do you know how hard it is to pull those things out of your skin?"
Take the incident outside the North Gate where Xingqi was hit by hundreds of crossbow bolts in the back, for example. Those bolts pierced Xingqi's skin. Although the big guy didn't feel anything, Liu Fu had to expend a lot of effort to pull them out.
So this time, he absolutely had to get Seven to take out his shield and use it.
Looking across at Qinglong Pass, Commander Duoyan Wugu's heart leaped and his whole body trembled when he saw the giant beast appear!
He also knew that he couldn't let Xingqi get close to Qinglong Pass; now that they were further away, it was the best opportunity to kill him.
At a single command, twenty super crossbow bolts, each as thick as a waist and over four zhang long, were simultaneously fired from Qinglong Pass!
If this thing hits Gorilla Seven, it will definitely hurt him as well.
But Duoyan Wugu did not expect that just as he gave the order to fire the crossbow bolts...
Suddenly, Xing Qi in the distance smiled in their direction, then pulled out a super-large shield with a diameter of over twenty meters from behind his back...
