wild trail

Chapter 285
The iron ore in the forest was busy mining, and the seaside, with the delivery of reinforcements and building materials, also began to get busy.

The previous sixty soldiers were replaced by later soldiers. These troops, who had been traveling in the wild for a long time, started to move after only one day of repair here.

Hundreds of soldiers in light armor lined up neatly, marching towards the pterosaur's lair with a murderous look.

Dozens of crossbows were dragged behind by the giant deer, apparently armed to the teeth.

As they gradually approached the cliff, the leading officer immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

"Everyone be on alert, pay attention to the air." Shi Gang roared loudly.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately dispersed, unloaded the bed crossbow, pushed it to the front of the formation to adjust the angle, and the thick crossbow arrows shone coldly and pointed at the sky.

"Qian Mu, take your men to explore the way ahead, and try to lure those beasts here." Shi Gang ordered.

The corps leader Qian Mu bowed to accept the order and approached the edge of the cliff cautiously with ten rather robust soldiers.

Lying on the edge of the cliff, Qian Mu poked his head out and looked down, and saw dense nests built between the cliffs, and in some of the nests, those huge pterosaurs were crouching among them.

On the beach below, dozens of pterosaurs stopped there to rest, and on the sea in the distance, there were more than a dozen pterosaurs circling.

"Go and pick up some stones." Qian Mu said to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier stepped back quietly, and after a while, he picked up a few fist-sized stones and came over.

Qian Mu took the stone and said, "I'll use these stones to lure those beasts here, and when they fly over, we'll run to the team, remember?"

The soldiers nodded, staring nervously at the pterosaur below.

Qian Mu took a deep breath, and threw the stone vigorously towards the place where the pterosaurs gathered below.

The pterosaurs jumped when the stone fell to the ground, but these mentally retarded guys didn't realize that it was the fault of humans.

Seeing this, Qian Mu cursed secretly, threw another stone downward, and started howling exaggeratedly.

This time, the provocation of humans finally caught the attention of pterosaurs.

This group of pterosaurs looked up at the humans on the cliff with their teeth and claws open, and suddenly screamed strangely. Enraged, they flapped their huge wings and soared into the sky, hovering in the sky for a while, thinking of these prey who dared to provoke them. Come.

"run!"

After Qian Mu yelled, ten soldiers ran wildly, and after being bitten by this big guy, they could basically go to see the gods.

When Shi Gang saw that they had successfully lured the pterosaur over, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said loudly, "Everyone is ready!"

"Wow!"

After the sound of armor rubbing, more than 200 crossbowmen dropped their sharp arrows and aimed at the flying pterosaur.

Shi Gang tapped the hilt of the sword subconsciously with his fingers, judging the distance of the pterosaur.

When Qian Mu and the others retreated into the army formation, Shi Gang shouted loudly: "Let go!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The howling crossbow arrows mixed with the rain of arrows all over the sky blocked all the directions where the pterosaurs dodged. Under this dense rain of arrows, the pterosaurs who came to pursue them were shot into a sieve in an instant.

The powerful bed crossbow directly shot through their bodies, and the sky rained blood. The pterosaur corpses fell from the air and hit the raised rocks, making the sound of bones breaking.

Seeing that a wave of attacks wiped out these pterosaurs, Shi Gang smiled unabashedly: "It's really too weak!"

"Qian Mu, go and see how many of these things are down here!" Shi Gang ordered?

Qian Mu bowed to promise, trotted all the way to the edge of the cliff, glanced down, and then returned to report: "Return to the general, there are probably seven or eight pterosaurs left below."

Shi Gang nodded and said, "The crossbowman stepped forward and shot all the rest, and we will return after taking the eggs away. Let's taste the taste of this flying dinosaur today."

All the soldiers cheered loudly when they heard the words, licked their lips, and stood on the edge of the cliff with their bows and crossbows in their hands. After Shi Gang gave an order, hundreds of crossbows and arrows were shot at the same time. If not, they are all shot.

Shi Gang nodded satisfied with the effect of this attack, and said: "Prepare the rope, go down and clear this place."

The soldiers were already extremely proficient in this sweeping job. Immediately after Shi Gang finished speaking, a few soldiers with thick ropes came out and fixed these ropes firmly on the stone.

When dozens of ants were attached to the cliff, the soldiers manipulating the bed crossbow adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow. The pterosaurs flying in the sea had sensed that the nest was being attacked and were flying towards this side quickly.

"If you dare to come, you are looking for death!" Shi Gang sneered.

When the pterosaurs were within range, Shi Gang immediately ordered to attack. Although the shooting accuracy of the bed crossbow was not good, dozens of bed crossbows fired at the same time. Such a dense number of arrows completely made up for the shortcoming of the bed crossbow.

After a round of attack, only a lucky five or six of the dozen or so pterosaurs survived. Frightened, they turned around and quickly moved away from here.

Weapons have raised human beings from being prey to the top predators in nature, becoming the natural enemies of all wild animals, and with Wang Lang's encouragement, the people of Xia Kingdom are in an inexplicable state of excitement for hunting wild animals. middle.

After eradicating all threats, the soldiers who collected the loot quickly ransacked these lairs, and a large number of pterosaur eggs were shipped up.

The arrows that were shot were also pulled from the body of the pterosaur by the soldiers, and some who didn't know where they flew had to give up searching.

At dusk, the expedition team returned to the harbor full of spoils.

When Mu Feng heard the news, he immediately put down his work and quickly found Shi Gang, asking him to take care of the pterosaur eggs, write a letter of victory, and send several messengers back to Yancheng overnight.

As a high-ranking member of the Xia Kingdom, Mu Feng clearly knows that there is a dinosaur civilization that threatens the security of his country all the time, and he is also very clear about the future role of these pterosaurs. What he has done now is not as simple as personal honor and disgrace , but every decision of the Xia Kingdom is related to the life and death of human beings.

Although he doesn't know what's going on outside and whether there are any stronger human nations or tribes, he firmly believes that only the Xia Kingdom is the hope of mankind, and every increase in national power means that mankind has a chance of survival.

In the middle of the night, piles of bonfires were ignited by the seaside, and everyone exchanged glasses, enjoying the pterosaur meat with the sea breeze blowing, and it was very pleasant.
