Chapter 15: Aerial Combat (1)


Zhang Tie didn't know if the airship would be attacked by some dangerous creatures that could fly every time it crossed the no-man's land, but this attack had obviously brought big trouble to the airship.

The objective of the iron-beaked ibis is clear, which is that the airship has a thin layer of light metal armor on it, and the airbag is protected by a thin layer of light metal armor.

This made Zhang Tie feel a little unbelievable, these iron-beaked ibises were like killers with clear and calm heads, knowing what to attack and what everyone was most afraid of.

Because the people on the deck of the airship and all the attack weapons in the airship cabin have the problem of a maximum elevation angle, once those iron-beaked ibises fly to the top of the airship airbags, all weapons will be useless, and therefore, the airships flying in the air are always doing complex airship maneuvers, using the maneuverability of the airship itself to expose those iron-beaked ibises attacking the airship to the firing angle of the airship cabin and deck weapons.

The iron-beaked ibis is fast and has a clear aim, and the airship in the sky, like a fierce horse harassed and attacked by a herd of gadfly, jumps up and down on the left rush.

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

And all the battles, after less than five minutes, felt tough.

In addition to the results of the first wave of attacks of the iron-beaked ibis when approaching the airship, in the mutual attacks of the two sides in the back, because most of the time there is no shooting angle, most of the results are limited, and the results of the four gun emplacements on the entire deck are not as many as the first mate with a bow and arrow, and the first mate with a bow and arrow to shoot down the iron-beaked ibis is less than eight.

In addition to the first mate of the airship, the most eye-catching thing on the entire deck is Zhang Tie, and the iron beaked ibis that Zhang Tie shot down with a machine crossbow is only two less than the first mate of the airship.

Every time, when the airship maneuvered in the air with a large inclination angle as the firepower output point on both sides of the airship to create a shooting opportunity, Zhang Tie would stand calmly on the side of the boat, firmly holding the hydraulic power slide rod winding crossbow weighing more than 40 kilograms with one hand, and the other hand grabbed the metal handrail around him to fix his figure, and the whole person was as quiet as a rock, waiting for the opportunity to pull the trigger at the moment when the iron-beaked ibis swept across the airship deck.

Every maneuver of the airship left and right or up and down can only create one shooting opportunity for everyone on the deck, because the first mate on the airship uses a bow and arrow, and he seems to have a deep attainment in the bow and arrow, so he can send out two arrows in one second when the airship has two turns, and he has two more iron-beaked ibises than Zhang Tie.

Both the airship and the iron-beaked ibis are very fast at this time, and those iron-beaked ibises are very cunning, once the airship changes lanes and maneuvers, all the iron-beaked ibises are flying high with the airship's airbag at the fastest speed, so the opportunity for everyone on the deck to shoot, every time, is about only one second.

For others, it is too difficult to quickly seize the opportunity to shoot the iron-beaked ibis outside at almost more than 200 kilometers per hour as it flies through the space in front of them, and for most people, the opportunity to shoot is lost almost only the moment they catch the iron-beaked ibis with their own eyes.

At this time, Zhang Tie, as if he had found some kind of fun, calmly shot down an iron-beaked ibis that swept over the crossbow shooting world outside him every time the airship changed lanes, and then took advantage of the moment when the airship briefly stabilized, let go of the other hand that fixed his body, and simply held the hydraulic power slide bar on the crossbow neatly, and with a crisp click, he wound it up, so that the crossbow was in a state of readiness for the second time, waiting for the time for the airship to change lanes next time.

On the entire deck, Zhang Tie may not have the most results, but he is definitely the most calm.

Many of the airship crew couldn't help but quietly look at the boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Zhang Tie is not pretending to be relaxed, but really relaxed, in a state of concentration, the surge of mental power makes Zhang Tie feel that the speed of flying over the iron beak ibis in front of him does not seem to be fast, the same time in Zhang Tie's feeling becomes more delicate, long, full of continuous texture, in this slowing effect, the clear flight trajectory of the iron beak ibis appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, and then at the moment when others felt that the electric light and stone fire were too late to aim, Zhang Tie pulled the trigger and shot the crossbow arrow inside the crossbow, Every time, every shot.

Zhang Tie killed one after another iron-beaked ibises like a rabbit here, and next to Zhang Tie, the first mate who was in charge of commanding everyone on the deck had sweat on his forehead.

In the howling wind, a piece of silver light metal armor of about one square meter fell from the top of the airship like a piece of paper, and with a whirl, it brushed against the people on the deck, and the speed was very fast, and when it swept over the arm of a crew member on the left side of the deck, the edge of the thin layer of metal armor cut the arm of the crew member at once, splashing a piece of blood.

The cut crew remained silent, still holding the crossbow in their hands firmly, and this time, not only the first mate, but everyone on the deck changed their faces.

Once the protective armor on the airship airbag is torn off by those iron-beaked ibis, the worst is coming, although the airship uses a bulkhead airbag, but since there is the first piece of protective armor that is torn off, it is believed that it will not be long before the second piece of protective armor is torn apart.

As soon as the armor is torn apart, a certain compartment airbag above must be leaking now, although everyone has not experienced the impact of the leak for a short time, but if it continues, it will not take long for the speed and maneuverability of the airship to decrease, and at this time, once the airship loses its speed and maneuverability, it will be the beginning of the real disaster for everyone.

Once the airship that lost its ability to float was forced to land in the wilderness thousands of kilometers away from the city below, then, not to mention whether everyone could return to the city inhabited by the human race alive, the cost of Huaiyuantang to complete the rescue of the damaged airship tens of thousands of kilometers away was almost enough to rebuild such an airship.

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

At the moment when the airship stabilized again, more than a dozen people ran out of the deck, carried the crossbow on their backs one by one, divided into three teams, and began to quickly pull the rope ladder hanging from the airship's floating air bag to climb up quickly.

A few people just climbed up, the airship maneuvered again to change lanes, because of the effect of centrifugal force, several teams of people on the rope ladder were thrown out like swings, and several people were thousands of meters in the air below, and they were going to be crushed as soon as they fell, and this time, even Zhang Tie's heart was suspended.

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

Zhang Tie thought of the sailors who fought with the sea that he had heard Tang De say before, but he didn't expect that the crew of the airship was similar to those sailors, and sometimes, it was even more dangerous.

The sailors fight the sea, and the crew fights the sky.

"Cover them," the first mate commanded again.

The iron-beaked ibis, which had been hovering outside the airship, seemed to have spotted some people crawling out of the airship deck, crawling towards the airship's airbags, and these climbing crew members suddenly became the targets of the iron-beaked ibis.

Zhang Tie had never seen an iron-beaked ibis before, but at this moment, he felt that these iron-beaked ibises were too smart, a little weirdly smart.

The first mate fired two arrows again, Zhang Tie also shot one, and all the ballistae and crossbowmen on the deck shot their guys at the few boatmen who wanted to attack the teams of boatmen who were climbing on the rope ladder.

Five more iron-beaked ibises were killed.

Under everyone's cover, the crew who climbed on the rope ladder quickly climbed up and disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and after a while, when everyone on the deck did not shoot, an iron-beaked ibis fell from the top of the airship, and everyone knew that those people had climbed up and had begun to fight back.

The iron-beaked ibis on the airship croaked and croaked, and the piercing sound of metal scraping in the ears suddenly became much less, and after a few more iron-beaked ibises fell, the number of iron-beaked ibises shot down by the people above became less and less, Zhang Tie heard the roar of the people on the airship when they fought with the iron-beaked ibis, and in this roar, there were also some sounds made when people and iron-beaked ibises 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 mate of the airship became more and more gloomy, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to send the second team up, Zhang Tie stood up quietly.

"Let me try" The eyes of the first mate of the airship fell on Zhang Tie's calm face, and the eyes of the surrounding crew also fell on Zhang Tie's body.

"It's a game of death" "I used to be in the Iron Blood Camp of the Norman Empire," Zhang Tie said calmly.

The eyebrows of the first mate of the Norman Empire's iron-blooded battalion twitched, and he made a decision in an instant, "What do you need?"

Zhang Tie took out a huge crossbow arrow for steel ballista more than one meter long, weighing five or six kilograms, with a triangular head from the ballista box next to him, which was exactly the same as a javelin.

"Prepare me with this kind of crossbow arrows that are convenient for me to carry on my body" There are twenty-five of these crossbow arrows in each box, and the weight of one box is almost more than a hundred kilograms:
