Fang Yun didn't actually know how to make a heavy trebuchet in the later stage, nor did he know how to make the kind of thunderbolt that Liu Ye transformed.
But it doesn't matter, a trebuchet is a thing that throws heavy objects to attack the enemy using the principle of leverage, and knowing this principle, it is not a problem to make a very, very, very primitive trebuchet.
It doesn't look good, but with simple calculations, these trebuchets can definitely throw stones at each other's gates. And his purpose is to directly collapse the wall and gate that the other party relies on to protect him!
Siege warfare or something, with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers at this stage, it is doing death, how could Fang Yun be a fool if he is not a fool?
It's a pity that this kind of primitive trebuchet can't be moved, and it's rare to die if it is disassembled, and it will waste too much time if you want to continue to make meritorious contributions, otherwise according to his ideas, it will bomb all the way over, forcing the other party to give up the advantage of the cottage and come to the bottom of the mountain to fight with them in the field, so the chances of victory are greater.
The soldiers didn't know what Fang Yun thought, they only knew that this boss was not simple, he actually knew how to make trebuchets!
"Brother Fang, why didn't you suggest making this trebuchet before?" Xie Ran asked suspiciously.
"I still can't figure out if this trebuchet is useful or not, if I had proposed it before, do you think Qu Shuai would believe that this thing is useful?" Fang Yun shrugged his shoulders and said.
"That's right, don't talk about you, I think this thing can work after watching it." They are all brothers, and Xie Ran is not welcome.
"It doesn't work, you'll know if you try it!" Xie Yuan saw that his brother was so unconfident in the trebuchet, and immediately jumped out.
"Okay, good, try it, I know that you have a lover and forget your brother's ......" Xie Ran heard this and immediately quipped.
"Who...... Who's who's lover? Xie Yuan was told through his heart, and immediately retorted.
Just looking at her non-self-defeating appearance, the officers around her showed knowing smiles. On the contrary, Fang Yun had a little headache, this girl's performance became more and more obvious, she seemed to be a little unreasonable not to express her position, it hurt her feelings for a long time, didn't she?
But to do it to a girl who is thirteen years old...... I can't do it!
Depending on the situation, we have to think of a way to drag it out for three or four years...... As for the future, let's talk about it!
"How's it all set up?" Fang Yun's thoughts were clear, and he immediately opened his mouth to ask.
"It's already been erected, and time is limited to only ten trebuchets!" Yu Xing hurried to report.
"Then immediately send someone to load the stone projectile and try to shoot at the target!" Fang Yun ordered with a wave of his hand.
Yu Xing was not verbose, and immediately explained. The angle of the trebuchet was actually fixed, presumably the stones thrown in that direction, and at the same time, different amounts of stones were quickly placed in the throwing pocket. At the end of the day, it's about how many stones you put in so that you don't waste them and don't overdo them.
"Put!" With Yu Xing's order, the soldiers on the other side violently pulled the rope that was being pulled.
Ten trebuchets quickly lifted and threw stone projectiles, and judging from the results, it was only effective to put three pounds of stones, and if there were more, they would not be able to throw them at the other party's walled gate. But what's the use of a three-pound stone? I can only sigh helplessly, this trebuchet is still a little smaller, if it is bigger, the speed of projection is faster, and it can be added to ten catties.
That is to say, the three-pound small stone falling from the sky is also menacing.
Yang Yu and the others on the watchtower only felt that a stone was rushing towards them, and after a while, they only heard a muffled sound, and then turned around to look, only to see that the head of a sentry next to him had been bloomed, and the brains were smashed out.
"Trebuchet, fucking real trebuchet!" Yang Yu's eyes stared at the trebuchets at the bottom of the mountain, and his hands pinched on the guardrail pinched the wooden guardrail to a "crackling" sound, which showed its great strength and fire.
"Big brother, what should I do now? Let's not talk about what to do, big brother, come back quickly, otherwise they will come again, and the stone bullet will not have eyes! Cao Er hurriedly pulled Yang Yu and walked inside.
"Hiding in the village, I saw the stone, it weighs three catties, what are you afraid of?" The three leaders said disdainfully.
"How comfortable are you to let someone slam the door of our house so unscrupulously?" Cao Er asked.
"Why don't you lead the team out!" The three leaders thought about it before they spoke.
"In this way, our advantage has suddenly dropped by more than half, and the battle that can be won with a hundred men has increased to more than five hundred. Even if the lives of the Yellow Turbans are not worth much, are the lives of our brethren worthless? Cao Er said again.
"It's not okay to fight, it's not okay to guard, what do you say, second brother?" The three leaders directly moved the burden.
In fact, Cao Er didn't expect him to be able to answer this question, and he asked it for Yang Yu from the beginning.
"Let them toss, how can this stone withstand me? Not to mention that it is slowly getting dark today, even if we bombard them all night, we may not be able to open our walled door! Yang Yu said disdainfully.
"Isn't that aggrieved?" The three leaders immediately asked.
"I said the third child, you are stupid, my inch mountain range stretches mathically, and you can go down the mountain with a walled gate?" Yang Yu scolded with a smile.
"Eh, I really forgot!" The three leaders smacked their heads and laughed.
"Order everyone to have a good rest, and attack them on the side tonight!" Yang Yu explained this to Cao Er.
"Whoa!" Cao Er gladly accepted the order and immediately went down to inform the whole army.
On the other hand, Fang Yun had already started the second round of bombardment, but after all, there were only three catties of stones, and they really couldn't smash the opponent's walled gate. Seeing this, Xie Ran and the others couldn't help but worry, after all, they had only prepared food for three days.
"Brother, this is not the way!" Xie Ran stepped forward with a shy face.
"Who says it can't be helped? Could it be that this way up and down the mountain is just the main gate of this cottage? Fang Yun laughed.
"Boss, I've figured it out, there's a path on the side of the mountain, which seems to lead to the mountain!" Li Daniu came back, and it was clear that he was leading the team to collect stone bullets, but in fact he went to explore the way.
"Brother, what are you ......" Xie Ran seemed to understand something.
"If I were the leader of the thieves, I would naturally be indignant when I was attacked by such an inexplicable attack. Normally, I'm afraid that I'll kill someone directly, but I'm really worried about this situation. But the other party didn't kill him, that proves that he is not simple, there is a not easy way to deal with people who are not simple, and we will see tonight! Fang Yun said smugly, not at all worried.
"I said brother, talk to me!" Xie Ran cautiously leaned over.
"It's actually very simple, just do this, this and this...... That's it. Fang Yun said in a low voice.
"Great idea! But man, how can you guarantee that the other party will do that?! Xie Ran was a little puzzled.
"The general said that they are not ordinary people, since they don't plan to fight head-on, they don't really plan to be a shrunken turtle, right? I've beaten it, this Yang Yu is so short-tempered, even if others talk about him in private, they have to kill people because of it, how can this kind of person sit still? Yu Xing stepped forward to explain.
"That's right, look at my brain, it's just not as good as you!" Hearing this, Xie Ran laughed as if he was mocking.
