In the distance, the drums of war thundered, and the pace sounded.

The county magistrate of Sixian County had a calm expression, and after looking down, he saw that on the horizon, troops continued to appear in the sun, fighting each other, and a sense of slaughter still rose.

The army is at its peak, hunting with flags, more than 1,000 people under the city, the queue is uniform, and the movements are neat, this is already a first-class elite soldier.

The county magistrate of Sixian County had a gloomy face, and saw the black and oppressive crowd behind him, as if there was an endless flow of people, and his heart was already surging and uneasy.

Hearing that there are more than 50,000 displaced people and less than 1,000 elite soldiers, it seems that the information is wrong, and the county commander of Sixian County looked into the distance again, there are at least 2,000 elite soldiers.

To his heart, the anti-thieves had few siege weapons and would only make rudimentary ladders.

The county magistrate of Sixian County was still frightened, and immediately remembered the information he had just received that Liang Taishou had sent 2,000 officers and soldiers to support, and as long as he held out for one day and one night, it would be a victory.

50,000 displaced people are indeed very much, but most of them have no combat power, Sixian County Commander specially recruited strong to repair and strengthen the city wall, now it is a thick wall high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are only 1,000 officers and soldiers, 2,000 township soldiers, it is not a problem to hold on for a day and a night.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate of Sixian County settled down, calmed down, began to encourage morale, and went to recruit the strong men in the county to guard the city.

At this time, Jiang Feng was a little worried, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, the recent intelligence shows that there are about 3,000 combatable soldiers in Si County, and there are many of our soldiers, but there are only more than 2,000 elite soldiers. If the city is attacked, it will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to conquer Nanyang Mansion City again. ”

Yang Qi stared at the city and sneered: "It's okay, it's just a small city, our army can conquer it in half a day, and it doesn't even take half a day." ”

Turning around, he said to one person: "How's the situation with the return gun?" ”

"Dashuai, the three are still being assembled, and because the structure is too complex and there are many modules, they are still being assembled." The carpenter-like man replied with a bowed head.

These three return cannons, also known as stone throwers, are stone throwers specially designed by the player, with heavy and powerful winches, and also realize modular manufacturing and assembly.

Yang Qike was deeply impressed by this kind of stone thrower, and when he was in Pingcheng County, he drew the design of the stone thrower, handed it to the carpenters of the Wubei Warehouse, divided these carpenters into groups, and each group made a module to prevent anyone from leaking secrets.

As Yang Qi's secret weapon, the manufacture of this thing was kept strictly secret, and the carpenters and craftsmen who made it were protected separately. There are very few people who know about her existence, Jiang Feng knows, but he is so focused on government affairs that he really doesn't pay attention to this.

This is an important weapon to destroy the city wall in ancient times, and it can be called a great killing weapon. The secrets that the empire has strictly leaked are also the weapons of the tightly sealed state.

In addition to being bulky and inconvenient to carry, it is not very troublesome to adjust the position and distance in battle, but its lethality and deterrence are undoubted.

At this time, someone waved the flag in the distance, and someone who understood the flag next to him immediately stepped forward: "Commander, the letter from the front, the return cannon has been assembled." ”

"Okay, give me orders, measure the distance, fix the structure, and make sure to break through the walls." Yang Qi said with a solemn face.

"No!"

In full view of everyone, three large stone throwers with a height of ten meters overturned the measured distance according to the order, and a total of ten people were preparing for launch.

Relying on the huge power generated by the winch rope to throw heavy stones, this kind of modern industrial design concept, the design of the return cannon, the power is about half of the legendary return gun, but the manufacture is simple, can be produced on the assembly line, repair, maintenance is simple.

It was an important weapon in the later battles against the Templars, and was an irreplaceable weapon for the larger guilds until firearms were allowed to be invented.

At this time, the county magistrate of Sixian County was on the city wall, and he also saw that more than 50 people pushed this huge machine to the front of the city.

"What kind of weapon is this?" The county magistrate of Si County suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"It seems to be a catapult, but it's a bit bigger, and the highest catapult in the empire is only half of it." Someone in the crowd recognized it.

"This official has also seen the imperial stone thrower, and it is indeed not as big as this, but how can a group of displaced people create such a sharp weapon of the country?" The county magistrate of Si County was puzzled.

Everyone else looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Carrying the billowing dust, three giant stone throwers were ready to take place, and the rolling logs began to be lined up behind them, and a steady stream of boulders were being hauled over.

The legendary return cannon can throw 500 catties of boulders, and the firing range is as high as more than 300 meters. Although these three return cannons are not so powerful, they can also throw boulders of 300 catties, and the range can also reach 300 meters.

When the boulder was lifted onto the stone throwing machine by several people, everyone on the county wall of the empire changed color, and the county magistrate of Sixian County looked like ashes, and muttered: "How can it be made into such a huge ...... in the world Stone-throwing machine. "The empire does not have such a technology to make it, let alone the district
