This scene that happened at Niangzi Pass really shocked countless soldiers in the world.
This catastrophic battle is inherently unequal and unfair.
In front of the tall, strong, and powerful celestial warriors, human warriors have no advantage.
Crossbows may be mankind's only advantage in catastrophic battles.
For millions of years, and during seven catastrophes, human bows and crossbows have played an irreplaceable role in battles.
However, the only advantage of human warriors disappeared at this moment.
Heaven has actually developed a new weapon that can break human crossbows.
When they saw the strange weapon that easily knocked away countless arrows and crossbows, the human defenders behind the lady were stunned.
A moment ago, they were still imagining how the heavenly soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows.
In an instant, I was slapped in the face.
Hundreds of thousands of iron-feathered arrows were thrown out, with almost no effect.
When the vast majority of human soldiers are in enlightenment.
The expression on the face of the old commander Xu Kai, who was standing on the command podium, changed suddenly.
He murmured: "Diamond Umbrella!"
It has always been a secret that heaven has developed a diamond umbrella that can specifically defeat the arrows in the human world.
Even though Ye Xiaochuan revealed this matter to the human court a while ago and sent a sample of the Vajra Umbrella to the court, only a very few high-level officials in the human world knew about it.
Among the more than 20 million troops at Niangzi Pass, only Xu Kai and a few military staff around him knew this secret. Most of the frontline generals did not know this secret.
Xu Kai has always been skeptical about the existence of the Diamond Umbrella.
He is a handsome man, but this old name has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that he has been in the military for decades and has combat command experience that young generals have never had.
The disadvantage is that the old people's thoughts are generally solidified and it is difficult for them to accept new things.
After this catastrophic war started, all kinds of new weapons sprung up and appeared one after another.
Especially the weapons and new tactics derived from new weapons such as black powder, it is difficult for an old general like Xu Kai to accept and digest them in a short period of time.
Xu Kai also has the same attitude regarding everything about the Vajra Umbrella.
He has seen hundreds of thousands or millions of arrows raining down before.
Black arrows occupied the entire sky, covering the sky and the sun.
He did not believe that an umbrella frame made of only a few iron bars could break through the array of crossbows in the world.
It wasn't until this moment that Xu Kai knew he was wrong.
He underestimated the power of this new, simple weapon.
In terms of killing enemies, the effect of the Diamond Umbrella is almost zero.
But after this thing was launched through the winch, it opened a rotating umbrella frame, like a rotating sickle, flying away all the arrows in its path.
This wave contained 300,000 arrows and more than 2,000 Zhangba crossbow spears, but the heavenly camp only fired about 1,780 diamond umbrellas, breaking the human crossbow array.
This is the first time that the Diamond Umbrella has been used in actual combat.
Not only the human soldiers behind the gate were confused, but also the heavenly soldiers below the city were confused.
After a while, the earth shook with an earth-shaking roar.
The soldiers in the heavenly world are all delighted with the powerful working efficiency of the Vajra Umbrella.
With this thing, the lethality of human bows and crossbows against them will be greatly reduced, which will greatly boost the morale of the soldiers in the heaven.
In the distance, An Wenxiu, who was riding on a six-legged black beast, saw this scene and showed a faint smile. The long-range firepower of the Skyfire Beast suppressed the first line of defense at Niangzi Pass, which Xu Kai worked hard to manage.
The first line of defense of more than two million troops was deployed, which was like a decoration, allowing human soldiers to reach Niangziguan without any effort.
In front of the second line of defense.
The Vajra Umbrella restrained the human bow and crossbow formation, greatly reducing the casualties of the heavenly warriors.
Even though the city wall of Niangziguan is dozens of feet high, once the Celestial Legion attacks the city wall, this wall, which is dozens of feet high, will be in vain.
An Wenxiu originally thought that it would take at least two months to conquer Niangzi Pass.
Now he feels that he should be more optimistic. Perhaps within half a month, he can completely defeat the five lines of defense at Niangziguan.
He ordered: "According to the commander's command, the skeleton warriors immediately attack the city, and the madman warriors build ladders.
Before dawn tomorrow, capture the first gate of Niangzi Pass."
The military order was passed to the front of the formation, and the polished wood was transported to the vicinity of the first line of defense.
Thousands of mad warriors were quickly splicing thick pieces of wood together, and gradually dozens of tall siege ladders slowly stood outside the city wall.
It's not quite accurate to say it's a cloud ladder, it should be called a cloud tower.
Each cloud building is made of hundreds of pieces of wood spliced together through mortise and tenon technology, with eight huge wheels underneath.
As the wood continues to be built, the height of the cloud tower continues to rise. It seems that the heavenly army wants to build the siege cloud tower to be flush with the city wall of Niangziguan.
Xu Kai saw dozens of siege cloud towers rising rapidly from the ground not far away.
Of course he knew how much of a threat this thing was to Niangziguan's defense line.
The commander of Tianjie is very smart. In order to avoid being destroyed by human soldiers during the construction process.
All siege cloud towers were built several hundred feet away from Niangzi Pass. They were outside the range of the eight-niu crossbow, the second line of defense at Niangzi Pass.
The only ones who can destroy the siege cloud tower are the soldiers on the first line of defense at Niangzi Pass. However, now the first line of defense on Thousand Holes Cliff has been firmly suppressed by the fireballs of the Skyfire Beast, and the entire defense line has been ignited with huge fires.
The soldiers in the cave will be burned alive as soon as they show up, and they will not be able to do anything.
What effect.
As a veteran coach, Xu Kai has rich experience.
He did not let the soldiers from Qiankongya risk their lives to rush out and destroy the siege cloud tower that Tianjie was assembling and constructing.
Instead, he ordered hundreds of catapults on the city wall to start loading large stone balls.
Since Qian Kong Cliff blocks the shooting range of the Destruction Legion behind the Heavenly Army, all the fireballs can only bombard the Qian Kong Cliff and cannot hit the second Niangzi Pass behind it.
The hundreds of catapults erected on the city wall did not suffer any damage.
Although those siege cloud towers were outside the range of the Eight Bull Crossbows, they were not outside the range of the catapults.
The winch of the catapult began to rotate, and large stone balls weighing hundreds of kilograms were rolled into the catapult.
The soldiers poured a layer of black goo on the stone balls and lit them with torches.
Following the order, hundreds of fireballs roared through the air and blasted towards the siege cloud tower being assembled.
In just one wave of attacks, seven or eight siege cloud towers were destroyed.
At the same time, Xu Kai was not idle either.
He saw that the skeleton army from heaven had penetrated under the city wall, and many skeleton warriors had begun to climb the city wall.
At this time, Xu Kai, as an old man with rich combat experience, showed his advantages.
He did not order the soldiers on the city wall to attack, but waited until the city wall was covered with terrifying skeleton warriors before he ordered the ultimate move, the rolling log formation.
