Chapter 15 Fighting in the Air (1)

Zhang Tie didn't know if the airship was attacked by some dangerous creatures capable of flying every time it passed through no-man's land, but this attack had obviously caused great trouble for the airship.

The goal of the iron beaked ibis is very clear, which is the airbag protected by a thin layer of chalky light metal armor on the airship. This made Zhang Tie feel a little unbelievable. These iron-billed ibis were like killers with a clear mind and a calm mind, knowing what to attack was what everyone was most afraid of.

Because everyone on the airship deck and all attacking weapons in the airship cabin have a problem of a maximum elevation angle, once those iron beaked ibises fly to the top of the airbag of the airship, all weapons will be useless, and therefore, in Airships flying in the air are always performing complex airship maneuvers, using the maneuverability of the airship itself to expose the iron beaked ibis attacking the airship to the shooting angle of the airship cabin and deck weapons.

The iron-billed ibis is fast and has a clear target. The airship in the sky is like a galloping horse being harassed and attacked by a group of gadflies, jumping up and down to the left.

At this time, Zhang Tie finally realized the function of the airship deck battle uniform connected to the airship with safety buckles and thin steel cables. When turning, sinking and jumping, if there is no such safety equipment, I am afraid that the only thing everyone can do is to hold something tightly with both hands, and how can they operate weapons to fight those iron beaked ibis.

And all the battles felt difficult after less than five minutes.

In addition to the good results of the first wave of attack when the iron beaked ibis approached the airship, in the subsequent attacks between the two sides, because most of the time there was no shooting angle, most people's results were limited. The four gun positions on the entire deck The combined results were not as many as the first officer holding a bow and arrow alone, and the number of iron-billed ibis that the first officer brought down with a single bow was less than eight.

Apart from the first officer of the airship, the most eye-catching thing on the entire deck was Zhang Tie. The iron-billed ibis that Zhang Tie knocked down with a machine crossbow was only two fewer than the first officer of the airship.

Every time, when the airship maneuvered in the air at a large angle to create shooting opportunities for the fire output points on both sides of the airship, Zhang Tie would calmly stand on the side of the ship, firmly holding the weight of the airship with one hand. More than forty kilograms of hydraulic power assisted the sliding rod to wind the crossbow, and the other hand held the metal handrail beside him to stabilize his figure. The whole person was as quiet as a rock, waiting for those iron beaked ibis to fly across the deck of the airship like lightning. That split-second chance to pull the trigger.

Every time the airship maneuvers left and right or up and down, it can only create one shooting opportunity for everyone on the deck. Because the mate on the airship uses bows and arrows, and he seems to have a deep knowledge of bows and arrows, he can use them on the airship. When turning twice, two arrows were fired within one second, and Bi Zhang Tieduo shot down two iron-billed ibis.

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, all the iron-billed ibis are flying high against the airbag of the airship at the fastest speed , so there is only about one second for everyone on the deck to shoot each time.

But for others, it is really difficult to quickly seize the opportunity to shoot down the iron-billed ibis that is flying at more than 200 kilometers per hour when it flies across the space in front of them within this second. It is too big. For most people, the chance to shoot is almost lost the moment their eyes catch the ibis.

But at this time, Zhang Tie, as if he had found some kind of fun, calmly shot down an iron-beaked ibis that passed by the crossbow shooting circle outside him every time the airship changed lanes.

Then, taking advantage of the short moment when the airship stabilized, he let go of the other hand that fixed his figure, and simply and neatly held the hydraulic power-assisted slider on the crossbow. The second standby state, waiting for the next opportunity for the airship to maneuver and change lanes.

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

Zhang Tie is not pretending to be relaxed, but really relaxed. In the state of concentration, the surge of mental strength makes Zhang Tie feel that the speed of the iron-billed ibis flying past his eyes 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 down effect, the clear flight trajectory of the iron beaked ibis appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, and then it was felt by others. Before he even had time to aim, Zhang Tie pulled the trigger and shot out the bolts inside the machine crossbow, every time with a hundred hits.

Zhang Tie killed one after another of the iron-billed ibises here like a rabbit. Beside Zhang Tie, the first officer in charge of commanding everyone on the deck was already sweating.

In the howling wind, a piece of silver light metal armor about one square meter fell from the top of the airship like a piece of paper. When passing the arm of a crew member on the left side of the deck, the edge of the thin layer of metal armor cut the crew member's arm at once, splashing out a piece of blood.

The cut crew member remained silent, still firmly holding the machine crossbow in his hand. This time, not only the first officer, but everyone on the deck changed their expressions.

Once the protective armor on the airbag of the airship is torn apart by those iron beaked ibises, the worst situation will come. Although the airship uses compartmentalized airbags, since there is the first piece of protective armor torn apart, then I believe that it won't be long before the second piece of protective armor is torn apart. As soon as the armor is torn apart, the airbag in one of the upper compartments must be leaking. Although everyone has not experienced the impact of the leak in a short time, if it continues, it will not take long. The speed of the airship and Mobility will definitely decrease, and once the airship loses its speed and maneuverability at this time, it will be the beginning of a real disaster for everyone.

Once the airship that has lost its ability to float is forced to land in the wilderness below that is thousands of kilometers away from the city, let alone whether everyone can return to the city where the human race lives, Huaiyuantang alone is tens of thousands of kilometers away. In addition, 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 take people up..." The first officer of the airship immediately gave the order.

At the order of the chief mate, the moment the airship stabilized again, more than a dozen people ran out on the deck, one by one carrying the crossbow on their backs, divided into three teams, and began to quickly pull the rope ladder hanging from the airbag of the airship to move quickly. climb up.

A few people had just climbed up, and the airship maneuvered to change lanes again. Due to the effect of centrifugal force, the teams on the rope ladder were thrown out like swings. His body was broken to pieces, and even Zhang Tie's heart was suspended at this moment.

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

Zhang Tie thought about the sailors fighting the sea that Tang De had heard before, but he didn't expect that the airship crews were similar to those sailors, and sometimes even more dangerous.

Sailors fight the sea, these sailors fight the sky.

"Everyone, cover them!" The first officer ordered again loudly.

The beaked geese also seemed to have noticed some people climbing out of the deck of the airship and climbing onto the airbag of the airship. These climbing crew members immediately became the targets of the iron beaked ibises.

Zhang Tie had never seen iron-billed ibis before, but at this moment, he felt that these iron-billed ibis were really too smart, so smart that it was a bit weird.

The first officer shot two arrows again, and Zhang Tie also shot an arrow. All the ballistas and machine crossbowmen on the deck shot at the ones who wanted to attack the teams that were in the area. Crew climbing a rope ladder.

Another five iron-billed ibis were killed by chalk.

Under everyone's cover, the sailors 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 shot from the airship. It fell down, and everyone knew that those people had climbed up, and they had already started to fight back.

The iron-billed ibises on the airship croaked, and the ear-piercing sound of metal scratches suddenly decreased a lot. After a few more iron-billed ibises fell, the number of iron-billed ibises shot down by the people above Less and less, Zhang Tie heard the roars of the people on the airship when they were fighting with the iron-billed ibis. In this roar, there were also some sounds made by the people and the iron-billed ibis when they were injured.

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

The face of the first officer of the airship became more and more gloomy, and just when he was about to speak to send the second team up, Zhang Tie stood up quietly.

"Let me try it!"

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

"I used to be in the Iron Blood Camp of the Norman Empire!" Zhang Tie said calmly.

The Jagged Camp of the Norman Empire? The first mate's eyebrows trembled, and he made an instant decision, "What do you need?"

Zhang Tie took out a huge crossbow bolt specially designed for a steel ballista with a triangular head, which was more than one meter long and weighed five or six meters from the bolt box in the ballista position next to it. Exactly the same as a javelin.

"Prepare me this kind of crossbow bolts that are easy to carry on my body!" There are twenty-five of these crossbow bolts in each box, and the weight of a box is almost more than 100 kilograms...
