The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 515 - 465: Even His Own People Were Deceived
Rainstorm Crossbow Car!
When the contents inside the carriage were revealed, not only were the charging bandits dumbfounded, but even Wei Wushang and Yuan Bao traveling with Mr. Wei were stunned.
Knowing that Mr. Wei was traveling slowly to fish them out, the two had guessed that the carriage likely contained stones or other weights, pretending that it held gold and silver.
But who could have thought that the carriage contained Rainstorm Crossbow Cars?
The value of this thing is more expensive than gold.
But the issue is, a Rainstorm Crossbow Car loaded with crossbow bolts is an absolute powerhouse on the battlefield, especially against enemy forces launching dense charges; once the Rainstorm Crossbow Car appears, the battle is essentially over.
"Fire!"
As soon as the Rainstorm Crossbow Car appeared, the bandits had entered its firing range.
With a command from the leader of the guards, the crossbow bolts erupted like rain.
Five hundred bandits vanished under the rain-like barrage of crossbow bolts.
Both men and horses fell to the ground.
"That Mr. Wei is truly ruthless!"
Witnessing the Rainstorm Crossbow Car’s absolute slaughter of the bandits, Yu Budong, mixed in with the average convoy, was also startled.
He now had ample reason to believe that if his real identity was exposed, Mr. Wei would mercilessly eliminate him.
"Finish them off!"
After the bandit ranks fell, under Mr. Wei’s command, the Wei Family Guards stepped forward with knives to behead every bandit fallen to the ground.
Nanny Xue, Hu Niuniu, Ximei, and others with Yuan Bao had never seen such a scene and immediately vomited in disgust.
Due to Yuan Bao’s experience over two lifetimes, his will was far beyond ordinary, yet he also found it incredibly nauseating. The howling northern wind carried a strong stench of blood along with a foul odor of urine.
Ultimately, Mr. Wei empathetically allowed Wei Wushang to lead them and some of the guards a short distance ahead.
Only after they were far from the battlefield did Yuan Bao feel slightly better.
Previously, when Yuan Yindi was serving as Prefectural Governor in Yanmen County, Yuan Bao had witnessed the Daxia border army battling the forces of Beili and Great Yin, but those battlefields couldn’t compare to now.
Back then, it was only small-scale skirmishes.
Even battles involving a hundred participants were considered relatively large skirmishes.
What Yuan Bao didn’t know was that after Wei Wushang led them forward, Mr. Wei directly ordered a mound built on the battlefield.
The bodies of the five hundred bandits, along with the corpses of horses, were piled together to form a mound.
The people of the convoy where Yu Budong was hidden were forcibly conscripted by Mr. Wei.
Facing the Wei Family Guards equipped with Rainstorm Crossbow Cars, the Store Manager of the convoy did not feel the superiority of numbers and tried to bargain with Mr. Wei.
Moreover, he personally joined the fight and helped with the work.
In Daxia, the Rainstorm Crossbow Car is an absolute heavy military weapon.
To put it bluntly, even a Prince couldn’t get his hands on it.
If Yu Budong knew the Store Manager’s thoughts, one could only say the scope was too narrow.
Such a weapon as the Rainstorm Crossbow Car, not to mention a Prince, not even himself as a Director of the Sound Listening Bureau could get his hands on it. Even Yin Wuji, his superior, lacked this capability.
In Daxia, even a commanding general of an army does not have the authority to freely utilize Rainstorm Crossbow Cars.
The deployment of Rainstorm Crossbow Cars is exceedingly strict.
Firstly, deploying a Rainstorm Crossbow Car requires the Emperor Xia’s decree. Secondly, it requires obtaining the Eldest Princess’s Phoenix Order Silver Token. Finally, it needs Old General Wei Huo’s personal seal.
With these three items, one qualifies to deploy a Rainstorm Crossbow Car.
Even Wei Huo himself must comply with these three requirements.
The guard of the Rainstorm Crossbow Car is jointly managed by personnel from three sides.
Three gates, three checkpoints, three tokens, missing any one would be unacceptable.
Thinking of this, Yu Budong felt horrible inside.
He thought that perhaps the whole world had been deceived.
The death of the Empress Dowager seemed, in anyone’s view, to have severed the trust between Emperor Xia and the Wei Family.
But if this were truly the case, then how did Mr. Wei obtain these Rainstorm Crossbow Cars?
If there was only one Rainstorm Crossbow Car, it could be said Mr. Wei was abusing power for personal gain. But here were twenty Rainstorm Crossbow Cars.
Twenty Rainstorm Crossbow Cars!
During the great battle between Daxia and Beili, with each side deploying over 400,000 troops, Daxia only utilized a mere twelve Rainstorm Crossbow Cars.
