Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Tie didn't know whether the airship would be attacked by some dangerous flying creatures every time it passed through no man's land, but this attack had obviously caused big trouble for the airship.

    The target of the Iron-billed Ibis is very clear, which is the airbag protected by a thin layer of light metal armor on the airship.  This made Zhang Tie feel a little weird. These iron-beaked ibises were like clear-minded and calm killers who knew what everyone was most afraid of.

    Because the people on the airship deck and all the attack weapons in the airship cabin have a maximum elevation problem, once those iron-beaked ibises fly to the top of the airship airbag, all weapons will be ineffective. Therefore, the airship flying in the air  He is always performing complex airship maneuvers, using the maneuverability of the airship itself to expose the iron-beaked ibises attacking the airship to the shooting angles of the airship cabin and deck weapons.

    The Iron-billed Ibis is very fast and has a clear target. The airship in the sky is like a fierce horse being harassed and attacked by a group of gadflies, dashing to the left and jumping up and down.

    At this time, Zhang Tie finally realized the function of this airship deck combat uniform with a safety buckle and a thin steel rope connected to the airship. When the airship completed those rapid turns in the sky with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour,  During the sinking and jumping movements, without this safety equipment, I am afraid that the only thing everyone can do is to hold on to something with both hands, and how can they operate weapons to fight those iron-beaked ibises.

    And all the battles started to feel difficult after less than five minutes.

    In addition to the good results of the first wave of attacks by the Iron-billed Ibis when approaching the airship, in the later mutual attacks between the two sides, most of the results were limited because there was no shooting angle most of the time. The four gun positions on the entire deck  The combined results.  There were not as many as the first mate holding a bow and arrow, and the first mate shot down less than eight iron-billed ibises with a bow.

    Except for the first mate of the airship, the most eye-catching person on the entire deck was Zhang Tie. The number of iron-beaked ibises that Zhang Tie shot down with a crossbow was only two less than those of the first mate of the airship.

    Every time, when the airship maneuvers at a large angle in the air to create shooting opportunities for the fire output points on both sides of the airship, Zhang Tie will calmly stand on the side of the ship and hold the weight firmly with one hand.  More than 40 kilograms of hydraulically assisted sliding rod cocking crossbow.  The other hand grasped the metal handrail beside him to stabilize his body shape. His whole body was as quiet as a rock, waiting for the opportunity to pull the trigger at the moment when those iron-beaked ibises passed by the shooting range of the airship deck like lightning.

    Every left-right or up-down maneuver of the airship can only create one shooting opportunity for everyone on the deck. The first mate on the airship uses a bow and arrow, and he seems to have deep attainments in bow and arrow.  Therefore, he was able to fire two arrows in one second when the airship made two turns, and he shot down two more iron-beaked ibises than Zhang Tie.

    Both the airship and the Iron-billed Ibis are very fast at this time, and those Iron-billed Ibis are very cunning. Once the airship changes lanes and maneuvers, all the Iron-billed Ibis fly high against the airbag of the airship as fast as possible.  , so leaving everyone on deck a chance to shoot, every time.  Probably only a second.

    For others, it is really difficult to quickly seize the opportunity in this second to shoot down the iron-billed ibis flying outside at almost 200 kilometers per hour as it flies across the space in front of them.  Too big for most people.  Almost as soon as his eyes caught the Iron-billed Ibis, the opportunity to shoot was lost.

    But at this time, Zhang Tie, as if he had found some kind of fun, calmly shot down an iron-beaked ibis that passed through the crossbow shooting range outside him every time the airship changed lanes.  Then he took advantage of the brief moment when the airship stabilized and let go of the other hand that was holding his body.  He quickly grasped the hydraulic power-assist slide rod on the crossbow, cocked it with a crisp click, and placed the crossbow in a ready state for the second time, waiting for the airship's next maneuver to change lanes.

    On the entire deck, Zhang Tie may not have the most results, but he is definitely the most calm.  Many airship crew members couldn't help but quietly look at this boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

    Zhang Tie is not pretending to be relaxed, but is really relaxed. In a state of concentration, the surge of mental power makes Zhang Tie feel that the speed of the iron-beaked ibis flying in front of him does not seem to be fast. At the same time, Zhang Tie's  The feeling became more delicate, long, and full of continuous texture. In this slowing effect, the clear flight path of the iron-beaked ibis appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, and then it was like a flash of lightning in the eyes of others.  Before he could even take aim, Zhang Tie pulled the trigger and fired the arrow from the crossbow, hitting the target every time.

    Zhang Tie here is like hunting rabbits, killing one after another.Next to Zhang Tie, the first mate who was responsible for commanding everyone on the deck had sweat on his forehead.

    In the howling wind, a piece of silver light metal armor about one square meter fell from the airship like a piece of paper. With a whoosh, it passed by the people on the deck at a very fast speed.  When it passed a sailor's arm on the left side of the deck, the edge of the thin layer of metal armor cut the sailor's arm, causing a splash of blood.

    The injured crew member remained silent and still firmly held the crossbow in his hand. This time, not only the first mate, but also everyone on the deck changed their expressions.

    Once the protective armor on the airship's airbag is torn apart by those iron-beaked ibises, the worst case scenario is about to come. Although the airship uses a compartment-type airbag, now that the first piece of protective armor has been torn apart, I believe that  It wouldn't be long before a second piece of protective armor appeared, torn open.  Once the armor is torn open, one of the compartment airbags above must be leaking. Although everyone has not experienced the impact of the leak in a short time, if it continues, it won't take long for the airship's speed and maneuverability to  The performance will definitely be reduced, and once the airship loses its speed and maneuverability at this time, it will be the beginning of the real disaster for everyone.

    Once the airship loses its ability to float and is forced to land in the wilderness thousands of kilometers away from the city, then, let alone whether everyone can return to the city where humans live, Huaiyuantang alone is thousands of kilometers away.  The cost of completing the rescue of this damaged airship is almost enough to rebuild such an airship.

    "Zhang Zhitian, Liu Yu, Qian Xitong, the three of you bring people up" The airship first mate made a decisive decision and immediately issued the order.

    The first mate gave the order, and the moment the airship stabilized again, more than a dozen people ran out of the deck. Each of them carried a crossbow on their back, divided into three teams, and began to quickly pull the rope ladder hanging from the airship's airbag.  Climb up.

    Just after a few people climbed up, the airship changed its lane again. Due to the centrifugal force, the groups of people on the rope ladder were thrown out like swings. They were thousands of meters above the ground. Once they fell down, they would be thrown out.  His body was shattered into pieces. This time, even Zhang Tie's heart was hanging for a moment.

    At the moment when the rope ladder was thrown out, the crew members who climbed up the rope ladder tightly grasped the rope of the rope ladder. When the rope ladder swung back again, they began to climb up quickly.

    Zhang Tie thought about what Tang De had said before about the sailors fighting the sea. He didn't expect that airship crew members were similar to those sailors, and sometimes even more dangerous.

    The sailors fight against the sea, and these crews fight against the sky.

    "Everyone, cover them!" the first mate ordered loudly again.

    The iron-beaked ibises that had been circling outside the airship seemed to have noticed some people crawling out of the airship deck and were climbing onto the airbags of the airship. These climbing crew members suddenly became the targets of the iron-beaked ibises.  The goal.

    Zhang Tie had never seen an iron-billed ibis before, but at this moment, he felt that these iron-billed ibises were so smart that they were weirdly smart.

    The first mate shot two arrows again, and Zhang Tie also shot one. All the crossbowmen and crossbowmen on the deck shot their weapons at the few who wanted to attack the groups climbing on the rope ladder.  crew.

    Five more Iron-billed Ibis were killed.

    Under everyone's cover, the crew members climbing on the rope ladder quickly climbed up and disappeared from everyone's sight. After a while, when everyone on the deck was not shooting, an iron-beaked ibis emerged from the airship's  The top fell down, and everyone knew that those people climbed up and started to fight back.

    The Iron-billed Ibis on the airship was croaking, and the harsh sound of metal scraping in the ears suddenly disappeared a lot. After a few more Iron-billed Ibis fell down, the number of Iron-billed Ibis shot down by the people above  Less and less, Zhang Tie heard the roars of those on the airship when they were fighting with the Iron-beaked Ibis. Among the roars, there were also some sounds made by people and the Iron-beaked Ibis when they were injured.

    The second piece of metal protective armor of the airship fell from above, and even Zhang Tie felt that the speed of the airship seemed not to be that fast at this time.

    The airship's first mate's face became increasingly gloomy. Just when he was about to send a second team up, Zhang Tie quietly stood up.

    "Let me try it!"

    "You?" The airship first mate's eyes fell on Zhang Tie's calm face, and the eyes of the surrounding crew members also fell on Zhang Tie.  "taking off own life!"

    ¡°I used to be in the Iron-Blooded Camp of the Norman Empire!¡± Zhang Tie said calmly.

    The iron-blooded camp of the Norman Empire?  The first mate's eyebrows twitched and he made an instant decision, "You needwhat?  "

    Zhang Tie pulled out a huge steel crossbow arrow that was more than one meter long, weighed five or six kilograms, and had a triangular head from the crossbow box at the crossbow station next to it. This kind of crossbow arrow was completely similar to  Javelin is almost the same.

    "Prepare for me this kind of crossbow arrow that can be carried easily on my body and let me take it with me!" Each box of this kind of crossbow arrow has twenty-five pieces, and one box weighs almost more than one hundred kilograms
