Chapter 253 Ballista Unit
Ballista troops?Nori remembered that there was an extremely mysterious army in Pearl City, which was the ballista army.

The ballista unit was formed by Leander himself. Long after the Pearl City was established, Leander quietly issued an order to form the ballista unit. The executor of this order was Eltmons.At that time, Eltmons not only learned the combat skills of warriors by himself, but also secretly studied the ballista with Leander, and supervised the establishment of the entire army.

During the War of the Ancients, the ballista troops hadn't shown much power, and Leander didn't need to let them go on the battlefield. Not suitable for such a battle.After the War of the Ancients, Eltmons once again put the construction of ballista troops on the agenda after returning, and always paid attention to the update of ballista technology, so that ballista has multiple functions.

The current ballista troops are divided into four styles, light ballista, medium ballista, heavy ballista, and giant ballista.The light ballista is used by a single person, and it is also the most flexible ballista. It is wound by a single person and used to attack individual soldiers. Like the continuous crossbow, it uses arrow boxes, one arrow box has ten arrows.The medium ballista is used to attack large creatures. It uses two kinds of arrows, one is sharp piercing arrows, which are designed to hit small groups, and the other is attack-focused bursting arrows, which can cause huge damage to large creatures.The heavy ballista is used to deal with buildings. There are three types of arrows. The large penetrating arrows are used to deal with weak buildings, the large bursting arrows are used to deal with strong buildings, and the magic arrows are used to deal with enemies in the sky. The magic arrows have the function of guiding and tracking , can track and attack flying enemies, and there are two types of arrows, flowering arrows and explosive arrows, flowering arrows are used to attack small flying enemies, and explosive arrows are for Large enemies are attacked.The giant ballista is used to deal with extremely strong buildings. This kind of ballista has only one kind of arrow, which is the piercing blasting arrow. It uses the powerful force of the giant ballista to shoot the arrow into the building, and then explodes. It can directly cause the building to collapse.

Nori didn't know much about the ballista team, but he was looking forward to it. He also wanted to see how powerful this mysterious army was.

Three days later, a team entered Pearl City from the south, and this team was all composed of elite personnel.The leader of the team is the most stable general of the night elves, Old General Latusius. The team he leads has 1 people, all of whom are elite paladins, warriors, watchers, druids, mages, and shamans. And composed of scouts.

The task of Latusius' return this time was to escort the ballista troops to the front line. The reason why he was sent here was because he was afraid of possible attacks from the Zerg.The action of the ballista team is very complicated. First, the ballista of medium size and above must be dismantled and loaded on the vehicle, and then they can go with the arrows.The entire ballista troop is only 12 light ballistas, [-] heavy ballistas, [-] medium ballistas, and [-] giant ballistas, but there are only [-] vehicles loaded, and each vehicle has only ten escorts on average. And two ballista troop members.How can a car with only [-] people guard it?Latusius had no choice at all. It was impossible for Pearl City to draw out troops for himself, so he had to find a way.

In the end, Latusius put the four cars together in a row. The distance between the cars does not need to be too large, as long as they do not touch each other. In this way, 48 people can be used as a group of guards, which is more than enough.

"My lord, the troops are ready. When are we going to go?" The tauren Kona, the deputy commander of the watchmen, came over to report to Latusius immediately after arranging the convoy.

Latusius knew what Corner meant, and the front line needed this troop to arrive as quickly as possible, so he didn't delay the time, and directly ordered: "Let's go!"

Kerner immediately turned around and ordered the troops to set off.

The convoy moved slowly, but fortunately Leander saw this and specially allocated thousands of Kodo beasts to the ballista troop to pull the carts, so the speed of the convoy is by far the fastest in the empire so far.However, no matter how fast the convoy is, it will not be faster than marching. It took five days for the convoy to reach the front line after a three-day journey. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

After reaching the front line, the ballista troops were installed directly in the army formation.The Zerg also noticed this. They didn't know what those things were, but they knew that they were powerful things seeing how closely the night elves protected them.After the Zerg rioted for a while, a large group of flying insects flew out from the swarm and rushed towards the night elves' army formation.This kind of flying insect is not a regular army of the Zerg, but a derivative. The smallest flying insect of the Zerg is as big as a night elf, and these flying insects are only one yard long. They were created by C'Thun A failed product that comes with time.

There were many flying insects, overwhelming the night elf formation, but dozens of brilliance flashed in the night elf formation, and dozens of magic arrows shot at the flying insects. After approaching, the magic arrows suddenly exploded It turns into countless magic arrows and shoots at the surrounding flying insects quickly. Every small magic arrow will burn rapidly after encountering the flying insects, burning the flying insects to death.A single magic arrow emptied a field of flying insects, and dozens of magic arrows emptied more than half of the flying insects.

The sudden attack frightened the flying insect, and it quickly flew back, not daring to fly forward.

"My God! It's so powerful!" Countless elves exclaimed, but they had never seen such a sharp attack.

Leander also laughed, and said to Elune beside him: "I never thought that this kind of magic arrow would be so powerful, it seems that I have spent so much effort on it!"

Elune also laughed: "If there was such a ballista back then, it might have killed many people!"

Leander shook his head and said: "If the shortcomings of the ballista are not corrected, I will not let it go on the battlefield to deal with demons. Such an attack cannot cause any damage to powerful demons. If a giant ballista is used, perhaps It can only injure a strong man like Archimonde, but it cannot kill him. If the ballista is captured by a demon, it can be imitated quickly with the demon's ability, but our casualties will be even greater."

Elune thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It seems that dead things are still not good! Improving our own abilities is the key."

Leander nodded, agreeing with Elune.

"Okay, let's see the real power of the ballista!" Leander waved his hand after speaking.

Eltmons, who was standing aside, immediately waved the flag in his hand, and the ballista that had been prepared for a long time immediately entered the firing state, and then fired the crossbow with a "bang".
