Chapter 34: The Strange Beasts Attack Again
"Strange beasts, strange beasts, they are coming..."
Just as Li Meng was about to give the order to set off, a panicked cry suddenly sounded from the crowd on the dock.
This caused the crowd on the dock to fall into chaos, and everyone's face showed fear.
"Where, where?"
"Strange beasts are coming, run..."
The fear of strange beasts made some people flee in panic, leaving behind the sled and their companions.
Looking at the chaotic scene on the dock, Li Meng frowned slightly, turned back to Zhang Guowei who seemed a little panicked and said: "Go to maintain order, don't let them run around, here, can they run away?"
When the words fell, Li Meng turned and faced the northwest direction...
In that direction, to the west of the Jianghuai Canal, Li Meng heard a series of beast roars.
Just on the snowy plain on the river, at the end of the sight, a red figure appeared.
As they ran wildly on the snowy plain, they roared, and wherever they passed, snowflakes flew, rushing towards the dock like a snowstorm.
This time, there were more of them, more than ten, no, more than twenty.
Without Li Meng's order, the scattered imperial archers gathered in neat steps towards the northwest of the dock.
Soon, more than a hundred imperial archers gathered on the northwest embankment, right beside Li Meng.
Looking at the imperial archers lined up in a row not far away, Zhang Guowei's expression was slightly positive, and he turned around and left in a hurry.
"Don't be chaotic, they are all back, what are you still doing, chase them all back..."
With Zhang Guowei's roar, the chaotic crowd seemed to have found the backbone. Although there was panic on their faces, no one left the team and ran away. They all looked at the army lined up on the embankment. Whether they could survive depended on those soldiers.
The roar from Zhang Guowei also made Zhang Guowei's subordinates come back to their senses, and they hurriedly chased after the fleeing crowd.
In just a short while, some people had already fled the dock, and there were quite a few people, as many as dozens of people.
Standing by the embankment, Li Meng looked at the herd of alien beasts approaching on the river, and his expression was solemn.
There were quite a few alien beasts this time. If they started to attack within a hundred meters, they might get close to them.
Thinking of this, Li Meng said loudly: "I won't give orders this time. You can calculate the reasonable attack distance by yourselves..."
The brains of bionic people are all computers, which can calculate the range and parabola of bows and arrows, and improve the accuracy of long-range attacks.
Following Li Meng's words, the imperial archers responded, all put their bows on and arrows, and aimed at the sky. This is the throwing posture...
The actions of the imperial archers made Li Meng's expression on his face stunned. So far?
Using visual distance measurement, the herd of alien beasts is at least three or four hundred meters away from the dock. So far...
"Swish..."
The imperial archers didn't know what Li Meng was thinking, and all released the bowstrings.
Amidst the sharp whistling sound of "Woo-woo", a black rain of arrows rose up and flew into the sky...
The iron arrows were still flying in the sky, and the imperial archers put arrows on their bows again and released the bowstrings together...
Amidst the sharp whistling sound of "Woo-woo", a black rain of arrows rose up again and flew into the sky...
When the imperial archers put the third arrow on the bowstring, in the distance, a black rain of arrows fell from the sky, and fell on the heads of the charging beasts with a whistling sound...
It was very accurate, as if the beasts themselves rushed into the coverage of the rain of arrows.
"Swish..."
Amid the whistling sound, iron arrows fell to the ground, plunged into the snow, and some iron arrows hit the beasts.
The sharp arrowheads broke through the skin and scales of the beasts and sank into them.
With the sound of sharp weapons hitting flesh, the herd of strange beasts suddenly fell to the ground, raising billowing snowflakes.
Just after falling to the ground, before they could get up, a black rain of arrows attacked again.
"Swish..."
The black iron arrows fell to the ground like raindrops, hitting the snow and the strange beasts...
With only two waves of arrow rain attacks, one-third of the strange beasts fell to the ground and struggled on the snow.
"Roar..."
Amidst the roars, the strange beasts rushed towards the dock in the rain of arrows.
So strong...
Looking at the strange beasts on the snowy field in the distance, people and horses fell, and I don't know how many strange beasts fell. The eyes of the people watching on the dock were only surprised and incredible.
At such a long distance, the bows and arrows in the hands of those soldiers were so powerful?
Those were iron arrows, with a range of more than 300 meters. How much power would it take?
In the crowd, Zhang Guowei's mood was the same as others, surprised, unbelievable, incredible, and happy.
With these soldiers, those terrifying beasts didn't seem so scary anymore...
"It's OK, it's definitely OK..."
Looking at the soldiers lined up on the embankment, Zhang Guowei's eyes were filled with joy, and his face became ruddy with excitement.
Ever since he was sensible, the horror and terror of the beasts have been deeply rooted in his cognition. From childhood to adulthood, he didn't know how many people had heard of dying under the claws of the beasts, and how many times he had woken up from nightmares because of the beasts.
In the past, in order to hunt the beasts near the shelter, countless people died.
And now, Zhang Guowei suddenly found that the beasts that were originally terrifying in his eyes were so fragile. They fell one after another under the attack of those soldiers, and they couldn't get close at all...
"Swish..."
Another rain of arrows rose up and flew into the sky.
At this time, the herd of alien beasts had already rushed to within a hundred meters of the dock.
"Swish..."
The closer they were, the lower the parabola of the rain of arrows was, and the faster the speed of the iron arrows was.
In just a few seconds, more than a hundred iron arrows fell on the heads of the last five alien beasts with iron arrows stuck in their bodies...
"Roar..."
In the angry roar, the rain of arrows attacked the body, and one iron arrow after another nailed the alien beasts. Three alien beasts immediately rolled to the ground, struggling on the snow, and could no longer stand up.
The last two alien beasts also lost their speed, staggering, stumbling, crawling forward for more than ten meters, and fell headfirst on the snow more than forty meters away from the dock...
Seeing that all the alien beasts fell, the imperial archer took back the iron arrows on the bowstring.
At this point, the herd of more than twenty alien beasts was declared destroyed, and the speed of falling was surprising and incredible.
Is this the end?
Looking at the river surface that had returned to calm, the survivors on the dock were stunned.
The terrifying beast was destroyed so easily?
This... This is too easy, right?
"Fifty people follow me, the others escort the transport team to evacuate..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Meng took a step forward and walked along the embankment to a flat riverside area in the west.
The soldiers on the embankment responded and split into two, one team followed Li Meng, and the other team walked towards the crowd on the dock.
"Zhang Guowei ordered the governor to evacuate immediately..."
An imperial archer came to Zhang Guowei and said.
Looking at the tall and mighty soldiers in front of him, Zhang Guowei's eyes flashed with a trace of awe, and he hurriedly said: "Understood, understood..."
As he said that, Zhang Guowei turned and said loudly to the crowd: "Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go..."
