Xu Huang looked at Liu Zheng's people and stood next to the trebuchet, although he didn't have much hope, but he was still patient, planning to see if Liu Zheng's trebuchets were really useful.

Liu Zheng did not hesitate, and after all the manpower was ready, he directly ordered.

"Lift the branches and get ready to shoot!"

The branches placed on top of the twenty trebuchets were removed, revealing the appearance of Liu Zheng's twenty trebuchets.

It is said to be a trebuchet, but in fact, the trebuchet made by Liu Zheng is more like a ballista bed, a huge base, and a thigh-thick wooden pole is erected in the middle.

A huge bow and arrow hung from the wooden pole. It's just that the bowstring is pressed down by another central shaft.

At one end of the central axis, there is a wooden frame, in which a lot of stones are placed.

"Launch!"

After Liu Zheng saw that the personnel were in place, he immediately gave orders to those people.

Of the five, one person stepped out and pulled out the pole of the main bowstring at the bottom of the trebuchet.

Suddenly the bowstring was turned back to its normal position, and then the central axis was bounced together, and the stones that had been prevented from being thrown out of the wooden frame of the central axis.

The stones in this wooden frame weigh two hundred catties, and the power of the huge bowstring is far from being comparable to the force of several people together, this power is fixed, and the elastic force of the bowstring is used to make it more lethal.

With a bang, the first stone that was thrown fell on the tower.

A big pit was smashed directly on the city tower, and the city wall on the city tower was cut off by a small part of the huge stones, and at the same time, the stones after the burst were splashed around, and many soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom who were defending the city were also injured.

This was not the end of the story, as the first stone was projected, a dozen or so other trebuchets were pulled out of the wooden poles that pressed the bowstring.

Whoosh!

Huge stones were projected out and aimed directly at the city walls.

In the first round of shooting, Liu Zheng's twenty trebuchets also did not have a high hit rate.

After all, the previous run-in was not very good, and a detailed distance test was not done.

Of the twenty trebuchets, only three actually hit the towers.

However, Liu Zheng's trebuchet was very fast, and in addition to pulling the bowstring back on, it was to carry the stones, and the whole process took no more than three minutes.

And after the first round of projection, the distance of each trebuchet was clear, and the soldiers and horses in charge quickly readjusted the position of the trebuchet.

Because of their small size, it is not too difficult to carry, and it is easy to change the projection orientation of these trebuchets.

A few minutes later, the second round of projection began.

There was another boom, and the stones smashed on the city tower, aggravating the injuries of the unrecognizable Elephant Forest City that had been smashed by the previous rounds of attacks.

Moreover, this time, the projection of the second round, the probability of hitting has obviously been greatly improved.

Of the twenty trebuchets that were projected, there were actually seven that smashed the tower.

The stones projected by the seven trebuchets are not Xu Huang's trebuchets, not to mention the low hit rate of Xu Huang's trebuchets, and the weight of the stones projected out is not enough.

And the stones projected by Liu Zheng's trebuchet are not only heavier than Xu Huang's, but also more accurate.

After only three rounds of projection, on the tower of Xianglin City, the soldiers and horses of the city defense who were originally stationed in the city had already suffered a lot of damage, and some of the remaining ones did not dare to continue to carry them on the city tower at all, they were afraid of being hit by stones, and they accidentally died under the flying boulders.

And at this time, Fan Xiong on the city tower realized that Liu Zheng was not joking with him when he said that he was not joking with him when he broke through Xianglin City in ten days.

"It's over, it's over!"

At this time, Fan Xiong's face changed miserably, looking at the trebuchets under the city, he fell into a panic, and he didn't dare to stay on the city tower, for fear that a stone would fall down, and he, the king, would also die unexpectedly on this city tower.

And it was not only these people from Lin Yiguo who felt surprised, but even Xu Huang, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, was surprised by the terrifying power of Liu Zheng's trebuchets.

"Oh my God! Lord, this trebuchet is too powerful, is this really made by you? ”

Xu Huang opened his eyes and looked at the trebuchet on Liu Zheng's side.

Liu Zheng's trebuchet not only threw heavy stones, but also consumed less manpower, and even the accuracy was easier to mediate.

This made Xu Huang, who also built trebuchets, unable to believe that if he hadn't seen Liu Zheng lead people to design sketches, and then constantly test and assemble, he would not believe that these trebuchets were made by Liu Zheng.

"Hahaha, Brother Xu Huang, have you admitted defeat now, did I win our bet!"

"Admit defeat and admit defeat, what is in your head, my lord, just by virtue of my words, you can think of such a thing, if this thing came out a year earlier, when we were in the Tiger Prison, were you still afraid of the soldiers guarding the city in the Tiger Prison? Just hit him with this trebuchet! ”

Xu Huang directly admitted defeat, and then remembered that when the Tiger Prison was closed, he didn't need to use any fire attack tactics at all, and he could directly use a trebuchet to smash it, and he could completely break through this Xianglin City just like today.

"If you get it out a year earlier, won't you be learned by the officials and soldiers, and we will be the ones who will suffer when the time comes, and it's not too late to come out now, this will be our siege weapon in the future!"

"My lord, we don't have enough stones, so I'll leave the siege to me next."

Although Liu Zheng and the others sent a lot of men and horses to get stones, after the continuous projection of the trebuchets on both sides of Liu Zheng and Xu Huang, more than ten tons of stones were consumed in this way.

After Liu Zheng heard Xu Huang's words, he was not in a hurry.

"Hey, don't worry, the stones are gone, it doesn't mean that my ballista trebuchet is useless, show you another function of my thing!"

Liu Zheng's words made Xu Huang stunned, and he was confused for a while, not knowing what Liu Zheng meant by this.

"Here, bring me the wood!"

Liu Zheng shouted at the other group of people, and then some of the excess wood from the trees that had been cut down before was pulled over.

Although these eight or nine meter-long trees are not thick enough to be used, they are completely enough to be used by Liu Zheng as projected spears.

The central axis of the ballista bed was used as a support, and the wood was erected on it, and the branches and leaves were cut off, leaving only the wooden pole in the middle, and the bowstring was pulled on the same principle as that of a trebuchet.

Only this time, it's wood that is projected.

Whoosh.

The timber that had been laid out was shot out like arrows.
