Chapter 194: The Great Killer

After Ma Jun finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to load the stones into the wheel catapult, and then only two soldiers were needed, and the big wheel was turned hard, and the stones rose in response to the sound and were thrown far away, and in an instant, dozens of stones flew down the city with a whizz. The soldiers next to them were surprised and amazed:

"Oh, it's amazing, this machine is fast and effortless!"

"This is too powerful, the enemy wants to raise his shield to defend, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Isn't it, before the enemy gets close, we have to smash it to pieces!"

"It's easy to save trouble now, let's finish throwing a round, let's change the direction and do another round, it is estimated that the enemy army will have to fall a large piece!"

Liu Feng and Lin Zhi saw it, and they also felt that it was quite ingenious, this kind of catapult, used to attack the city, may not be so far away, and it can be used to defend the city, which is too suitable. This distance, this speed, is really a big killer. But if you think about it, it's not without flaws.

"Mr. Ma, if the enemy army rushes under the city wall without his life, will this weapon be useless?" Lin Zhi asked, this question is also very realistic, in the end, the enemy still has to climb the wall, or dig the wall, if it is ineffective for the near place, it has to be said to be a defect.

"What General Lin said is that I have also considered this point. You see, there are four wheels down there, and you can move freely on this wall. There are two solutions to the close-range attack, one is to move the trebuchet to the bottom of the arrow tower and throw it at the same level as the city wall; Is there another way, this wooden bucket with stones, you can adjust its cutting slope, use this to adjust the distance, turn the wooden bucket close to vertical downward, you can go straight. After speaking, Ma Jun demonstrated again.

When moving the trebuchet to the arrow tower, it covers a wide area, and enemies along the walls can be hit. Keeping the trebuchet close to the city wall and adjusting the angle can also quickly fix the stone and still under the city, but in this case, the striking point is more fixed.

After listening to Ma Jun's explanation and seeing his demonstration clearly, everyone was amazed. This Mr. Ma is really a god, in just half a day, he made such a big killer, and the person who uses his brain is really powerful. The soldiers were curious and eager to try, and after picking a few soldiers to try it separately, Liu Feng found a new problem.

"Deheng, your trebuchet is indeed very powerful, but there is only one problem that is very difficult to solve." Liu Feng shook his head, his face full of regret.

"Lord, is there anything to be embarrassed about?" Ma Jun wondered.

"This stone is indeed thrown very quickly, and it can also hit the enemy hard, but it is too much of a stone, and after you look at it for a while, a large number of stones are gone. If you use it on a large scale, I'm afraid you won't be able to supply the stones. Liu Feng expressed his worries, in fact, advanced weapons have such a common problem, that is, they are consumed too quickly.

"Oh, Your Majesty is right, there are so many stones, let's move them up one by one, how many people will it take." When the soldiers heard this, they also felt that this was a big problem.

"That's right, even if you use people's husbands, it's not a long-term solution."

"It's a pity that such an advanced weapon can't be used in large quantities, so its power is limited."

"There is such a big place on the city wall, and it is true that there are not so many stones, and it is really a big problem to keep carrying them when they are necessary."

"It seems that this stone rain is really not good, so you still have to throw it honestly and practically."

"I'll just say, we still have to go the same way. Rolling wood thunder stone and fire oil, the three-piece set is the most practical. ”

Liu Feng's words were like throwing a stone in a dung pit, blowing up the nest of flies. The soldiers defending the city exchanged heads and discussed. They expressed their worries about weapons, and the hope of gas just now was extinguished in a blink of an eye, and they also felt very regretful.

"My lord, fellow soldiers," Ma Jun had to amplify his voice, "Listen to me. ”

"Be quiet and listen to Mr. Ma's opinions!" Liu Feng shouted, and the sergeants finally calmed down. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Ma Jun, and they also wanted to know what tricks this smart man could come up with to solve this problem.

"That's right, I've thought about this question too. In the past, I have also improved a lot of weapons, and all fast weapons have such a shortcoming, that is, they consume quickly. Automatic crossbow machines, or repeater crossbows, consume bows and arrows quickly. It's the same with our trebuchet. Ma Jun first explained the basic truth, it seems that he was prepared, he continued to explain:

"Our trebuchet consumes stones, and it is really not possible to carry them purely by manpower. So, I've got a stone movers for each catapult, and I'm going to set them up, everybody. ”

After speaking, he said a few words to the people, and the people went down to get busy.

I saw them carry several wooden frames of different heights, and then each pressed on the wheel, and then took out a long cloth strap and wrapped it around the wheel. Seeing this, Liu Feng still understood, and secretly gave Ma Jun a thumbs up, this person's wisdom can really be described as one in a million.

This is a simple conveyor belt, this thing was common in Liu Feng's previous life, but now in this year, people have never seen such a thing, Ma Jun Ma Deheng, he can come up with it out of thin air, and in just half a day, he made a few. It seems that in any era, there will be absolute cattle people, and Liu Feng has to have more expectations for Ma Jun.

After a while, the stone carrier was assembled, and there were two people at the top and bottom, turning the big wheels at both ends, and two more people below kept moving the stones onto the cloth belt, and soon, a large number of stones arrived on the city wall along the cloth belt.

This magical operation directly stunned the soldiers guarding the city. They huddled on the ramparts, looking at the miraculous stone carrier, and took a closer look. Ordinary people's worship of big bulls starts from patting. Their mouths began to praise:

"This is really a miracle!"

"That's right, not only can you transport stones, but no matter what it is, you can easily and happily transport them."

"This speed is amazing, you see, in just a few moments, a big pile of stones came."

"Isn't it, how much labor is needed!"

"Mr. Ma is so smart, I am completely convinced."

"Yes, I've never seen anyone so smart since I was born."

"In our city, the most important thing is to have stones, and when the time comes, ox carts and donkey carts can just transport the stones under the city walls, which is really convenient."

"Yes, as long as the enemy dares to come, we will rain stones on them every day to give them enough to eat."

"Haha, I'm a little looking forward to it, I hope they will come soon, let us try this magic machine too."
