Several people who reported the situation at the Tatsu Leng Feng Mansion last night, that is, on the night of June 18, 424/424 Mayan time, returned to their posts after breakfast...

At about ten o'clock, Wei Deqing rushed to Qiuhua City, which is more than 50 kilometers away from Teklabi City, between the two cities is composed of winding mountain roads and many trees.

Coming out of the woods in the east, as soon as I entered Qiuhua City, I felt strange...

Note: Qiuhua City is located in the south-west of Teklabi City, the distance between the two cities is about 50 kilometers, the east-west span is 2.2 kilometers, the north-south span is 3.5 kilometers, and the area of more than 100 meters in the center of the city is the imperial sacrifice and the residence and sacrifice place of the high-ranking officials in the city; The outward range of 142~500 meters is the city officials, wealthy businessmen, commercial transactions, various collections, trading areas, belonging to the economic core area of Qiuhua City; The rest are the places where the civilian areas and residential areas are heterogeneously distributed, and they are also the areas with the largest population concentration and disorder.

The streets that should have been bustling with traffic are now empty, and the doors of the houses are closed...

Wei Deqing, the middle-level holy priest, felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran towards the center of the city, about 1.1 kilometers away, and arrived at the gate of the Deqing sacrificial mansion in less than five minutes...

"Your Excellency, you're finally back," a young man hurriedly greeted him at the door.

"What's wrong"? Wei Deqing asked with some confusion.

"My lord, after you left yesterday, the orcs launched a larger-scale attack, and the traps we set were basically broken by the orcs, and now the priests and soldiers are resetting the traps and blocking the western city wall, but the situation seems to be getting worse and worse", the young man was obviously a little excited when he spoke.

"Wasn't it fine when I left yesterday, how can it be like this today"? Wei Deqing asked in disbelief.

"No, it used to be a small group of wild boars and a small group of shape-shifting lions, but now it seems to be a step-by-step attack and a batch of attacks, so it is difficult for us to attack them accurately," the young man continued.

"Let's go, go to the fortifications of the city", after speaking, he ignored the young man and walked straight to the west.

"The catapult is about to go two hundred meters to the west, and the wild boar herd is attacking over there," shouted a commander-in-chief at several of the catapults.

"Sir, it's too much, I'm afraid it won't last long," replied the soldier, who had just finished loading a stone.

Stone-throwing cart - generally need dozens or even hundreds of people to operate one, 200 people pull a stone-throwing cart, a stone thrown can kill dozens of people, the power is huge.

Cons: Slow rate of fire and no melee combat capabilities.

Nemesis: Any class rushing to its side can be its nemesis, the key is that the catapult is protected by soldiers and horses, just see if you can't rush to its side.

Uses: The best type of troops to siege, trap, and defend the city, which can greatly kill and injure the enemy, and not be killed by the enemy.

The original structure of the catapult was very simple, a huge lever, the long end was a leather holster or a wooden basket loaded with stones, the short end was tied to dozens of ropes, when the order was given, dozens of people pulled the ropes at the same time, using the principle of the lever to throw the stones.

Then it developed into an animal-powered catapult, where dozens of ropes fired stones through animal power, and its attack power increased for a time.

Higher level of the counterweight catapult, few soldiers can use the winch to lift the heavy object first, after loading the gunstone, and then release the heavy object, the gunstone is thrown, this method in addition to greatly reducing the operator of the operation, reducing the space required for the operation, the accuracy of the throwing is also greatly improved, the weight can be adjusted to control the range, if it is pulled by manpower, it can not be controlled, and the personnel must be trained to throw the gunstone smoothly (imagine that 250 people at the same time accurately pull the rope, it takes a long time to run-in. Wait a minute...

At this time, the defenders used a huge lever, the long end was a leather case or a wooden basket loaded with stones, and the short end was tied with a rope, when the order was given, twelve people pulled the rope at the same time, using the principle of the lever to throw the stones.

After the soldier finished speaking, he cooperated again with the loading stones.

"Herald, pass on my order, issue a notice to the whole city, all adult men in the city bring weapons to the new barracks to assemble, do not force it, and explain to everyone that if you want to be trampled on by the beast clan, you can cower at home", the middle-level holy priest Wei Deqing turned to the soldiers beside him and said.

"Yes, sir."

"All sacrifices are based on the attributes of the elements, fire sacrifices, water sacrifices, wood sacrifices, dark sacrifices, light sacrifices, earth sacrifices, summoning sacrifices, etc., among the infantry, clan soldiers, apprentice soldiers, apprentice soldiers, armored soldiers and other types of troops are gathered in platoons, except for special troops such as defending the city and arranging traps, the rest are all gathered at the 25th base, and the commanders of each part will carry out the order"! Soon after arriving at the city wall, he immediately gave an order.

A battalion assembles, a platoon assembles...

The second battalion assembles, the first row assembles...

Three battalions assembled, three rows assembled...

At this time, the commanders of each part shouted for their subordinates to assemble.

Go down the stairs on the left, 500 meters on the right, there is a huge square about two meters high surrounded by wooden planks, Wei Deqing jumped over the city wall, performed his driving skills, easily jumped over the uneven houses, and came to the giant square in a moment, waiting with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed...

……

Click, click, click..., at this time, a rhythmic sound gathered towards Wei Deqing's 25th base, and the sacrificial soldiers and infantry lined up according to their attributes, and in less than ten minutes, nearly 1,000 people gathered in the entire square...

There are clan militia platoons armed with halberds, and there are platoons of gangsters armed with spears and hunting bows, of course, such as fire sacrificial platoons, water sacrificial platoons, etc., all of which are re-planned.

The three battalion commanders each reported to Wei Deqing to take up their positions, and then waited for him to speak...

And Wei Deqingde paced in front of staff officer Jia Lei and asked: "How many operational troops are there now?"

"Report to the chief, there are now four battalions of 1,752 officers and soldiers in the combat force, including the clan militia, which does not include the logistics personnel who transport supplies", Jia Lei did not drag the mud and waterway.

"1752 people? Why didn't I see so many people at the city wall just now"? Wei Deqing asked again.? Just now there are active combat personnel on the city wall, and there are still reservists in the city, you just said that except for the special troops, all of them will be gathered here, so I will let them come in full equipment", Jia Lei replied.

"Well, that's good", he turned around and walked to the middle of the group, staring at everyone...

"Commander of the first battalion, come out and tell me why this is happening"? The sound was unmoving, but it was heard.

"Yes", a crisp and concise answer.

"Sir, here's the thing, after you left yesterday, those such as the lion-faced beast and the iron-haired pig did not attack irregularly like before, it seemed to be a large-scale and planned attack, which was completely beyond our imagination, when you came just now, it was their 23rd attack that was thwarted by us, and if it goes on like this for a long time, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it", Jia Lei expressed his worries.

"Well, got it," Wei Deqing said with a wave of his hand.

Then he paced to the middle of the line...
