"Of course, I don't force it. If we really can't defend it, then let's retreat, no matter where the heavenly fire hits, it's better than our city being destroyed. ”

Tang Ye's words made Wang Lai's tense heart finally relax a little.

He looked at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Of course, he was confused by Tang Ye's words, but he also had a strong trust in this rather legendary young man.

Because this young man not only once blocked tens of thousands of enemy troops with 1,000 soldiers and horses, but also became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even on the battlefield, there is no enemy general, either crushing or superiority!

And recently, the other party has actually shown the ability to destroy the enemy, although everyone tacitly did not ask deeply, but such a strange and terrifying power makes this young man seem to be covered with an unfathomable veil, and no one can see his details at all.

Tang Ye saw that Wang Lai didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry." Even if a natural disaster does come, as long as you follow me, it will definitely not befall you. Because my master is protecting me in heaven! ”

Tang Ye said, and looked up at the sky with burning eyes, completely ignoring the six extremely dissatisfied yells in his head.

…………

At this moment, in the south and west of Eight Finger City, there were mighty soldiers rushing towards Eight Finger City.

The soldiers in the south were mainly from Fanyang, while the soldiers from the west were from Hongmeng City.

Night fighting, in fact, has a certain advantage over the attacker.

Because the side that is preparing for the night battle will have a good rest during the day, and the soldier will be energetic at night.

The defenders of the city generally move during the day and rest at night.

In this way, when the war starts, those who attack are energetic, while those who defend the city are tired.

It's like Tang Ye, who just lay down and attacked the enemy, if it was an ordinary person, he would not only be physically tired at the moment, but also full of resentment.

A heavy mood will make the body more likely to enter a state of exhaustion. The tired state makes the mood even worse, and in such a vicious circle, the morale of the defending side is undoubtedly very bad!

When Tang Ye was going to the east of Bazhi City, he noticed that many soldiers on the road were walking sluggishly.

Such a situation is undoubtedly not good for them. However, there were too many such soldiers, and Tang Ye had no good way to lift their spirits for a while.

The only way to cheer them up is to fight off the enemy and go back to sleep soundly.

Ascending the city tower, Tang Ye saw from a distance that there were three catapults in the enemy army approaching this side.

The main body of the catapult is divided into two parts, the lower half is a square cart, and the cart has a total of twenty-four small wheels. This ensures that the force on each wheel is evenly balanced, and even if several of the wheels are destroyed, it can be moved.

The upper part is a half-meter-wide and ten-meter-long brace.

At the top of the brace plate, it resembles the mouth of a soup spoon and is the place where the boulder is placed. The top of the brace plate is fixed with a complex spring mechanism.

As long as the soldiers on both sides pull the lever next to it hard, the trebuchet can immediately generate huge kinetic energy to bounce the support plate, and the boulder placed in the "soup spoon mouth" can naturally turn into a cannonball and fly out.

The only disadvantage of the catapult is that there is a lot of time interval between each release, and in addition to loading the stones, you have to wait for the support plate to slowly fall before proceeding to the next operation.
