Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1089 Secret Weapon? 5
Like the giant cannon driven by the dream crystal, the crossbow defense system also has battle records to check.The reason why it is called a laughing stock is because the "loss" it causes is not comparable to the "loss" of the cannon.

There used to be a country that built a crossbow defense system with dream crystals as the core energy source in the border defensive town—in fact, that was the only completed set in history.The supporting equipment is placed near the city wall. Although the crossbow bolts are specially made, "special" and "expensive" are not the same - those crossbow bolts are basically thin strips cut from steel blanks, and after simple Grind and sharpen and it's ready for battle.Although the hardness is not as good as the special steel used for chariots, it is superior in speed and quantity, so its power is extremely amazing.

After this defense system was activated, the effect really lived up to expectations—the incoming enemy chariot teams were pierced by crossbow arrows one after another, the attacking side suffered huge losses, and the defending side didn't even get injured.This kind of battle situation has been going on for many days, and the chariot team has launched wave after wave of attacks, causing heavy losses; the generals of the attacking side have also been thinking about the solution—how to defend against this extremely powerful attack. Strong crossbow?In the past few days, they tried various methods, but they didn't change the angle—why couldn't they just destroy those defense systems?
After this method was put forward, it was not immediately adopted—because it was not easy to hit the shells on the defense device. After all, there was a tank defense line outside the city, and it was quite difficult to transport the artillery to the attackable range. The most important thing: the artillery can attack the city wall, and the tank defense line can attack the artillery.Even if the defense system can be destroyed, a large number of precious artillery will be lost, which is not necessarily cost-effective.

However, if this method is not adopted, the consumption of the chariot will have reached an unbearable level for the attacker.The battered attacking general had no choice but to order the implementation of this plan with a gamble mentality.He concentrated all the long-range artillery on the attacking side, and under the cover of the forward chariot, he successfully won the opportunity to fire a volley into the city.

It was a salvo that went down in the history books.

Although the hit rate of normal artillery is not high, it is not too bad; most of the dense shells hit the defense system at the top of the city-those crossbow launchers covered with iron armor on the surface.Although iron armor can provide a certain degree of defense, it still cannot withstand the shells that explode at close range.The crossbow launchers were destroyed in large numbers, and the defense system seemed to be disabled-but the situation was not so bad for the defenders.In order to guard against this situation, there are spare crossbow launchers. As long as the chariot defense line destroys the artillery of the attacking side, then the crossbow launchers can be reinstalled, and the loss of the defending side is still relatively small.

However, the sudden disaster made the city guards no longer have to think about what happened next—there was no way to think about it.

After those crossbow launchers were destroyed, the attached energy transmission lines also caused a fire due to being hit by shells; the fire triggered further explosions, and soon, along the energy transmission lines, uncontrollable flames spread to the center—— The place where the Dream Crystal is located.

The magic power released by the dream crystal is transformed into huge energy, which can be controlled under normal circumstances, but... this kind of situation is not normal.
