"No, how can the teacher bear to lie to Connor?" Snow thought, if not to persuade his companions to join the Empty Ferry Territory, at least take Connor away, she is the only relative in the world.

Well, if you don't count that grumpy kid.

Thanks to my dedication to teaching him, he only has his lord in his eyes.

"What's new lately?" Snow squatted in the snow, Connor was abandoned by his father after being shown to be able to do so since he was a child, and Snow was being hunted down at the time, perhaps because of the same sickness, he adopted the abandoned child, and gave all his heart and care.

In order not to suffer endless hunting and displacement, Snow chose to join the Dark Council at the beckoning of him, but as time passed, he found that the Dark Council was no longer suitable for the meek demon seeds, and the ambitions of the Right Court were constantly expanding, and he had to make a choice before the Right Court could do anything to him.

"On the days of the teacher's departure, we had two funerals. Connor's mood fell, "Uncle Blacksmith and Sister Wenlan died, and they said it was an accident. ”

But Connor knew that Uncle Blacksmith and Sister Wenlan had been poisoned. Councillor examined the corpse, which was the venom of the snake of greed. ”

The Serpent of Greed, the iconic assassination weapon of the Right Court.

Snow's mood that had just relaxed sank again, and it seemed that the right court had become more and more unscrupulous, and he even killed his companion completely undisguisedly.

However, the councillor tested the deadly venom, but chose to swallow his anger, and it seems that the situation in the parliament has reached an extremely bad point.

"Take me to meet the councillor!" Snow paused and raised his head: "There is one thing that is related to our life and death, and it must be decided as soon as possible." ”

......

"That's the barbarian!" Payne said, standing on the city wall, pointing to a vague dark shadow a few dozen meters away, "A lone barbarian, it may be a scout or a wanderer who has been driven out of the group, but the former is more likely, and he still carries a weapon." ”

The barbarians finally appeared, although there were only one number, but Rand knew that this was only the forerunner of the barbarian army, and believed that in the very short time to come, the air crossing leader would have to face the joint attack of the beast tide and the barbarians.

Luckily, they won't join forces, Rand thought, but even so, the news that the Rangers had brought back made him feel heavy.

If the barbarian tribe is unified, then the pressure on themselves will increase greatly, and they originally thought that they could defeat the barbarians with their strong armor-piercing ballista, but as the number of barbarians grew, the ballista began to show its powerlessness.

To break through the barbarian army's strongholds, he needs more powerful weapons,* only suitable for dealing with herds, and the barbarians may carry shields or planks as fortifications, which will make it difficult for the flintlock pistol to penetrate.

And in the face of barbarians with tactics, Rand can't guarantee that the militia and soldiers he has trained in a short period of time will be able to face them and not run away, after all, once there is a long-term fear of something, it will not be easily dispelled.

The most feared thing about the barbarians is their ability to charge, their sheer size gives them a natural advantage, and when carrying shields or blunt weapons, they can run like small tanks with enough horsepower, and even the same number of cavalry cannot surpass them in charge lethality.

Although the gates were sealed with stones and ice, the barbarians were still able to climb the walls using ropes or stacking arhats.

Rand must crush the enemy before they can charge.

Barbarians are a group of hungry wolves, more cruel than wild beasts, they want not only food, but also all kinds of cold materials and women, their body structure is very special, there are very few women, so for the reproduction of the race, they often have to rob women of other races as reproductive tools.

The plundered woman usually had a terrible fate, and more than five barbarians would have sex with her, promising to give birth to barbarian offspring every year, and when the women lost their fertility, they were killed and dried as reserve food.

This race will squeeze every ounce of surplus value from its prey.

"The most obvious difference between man and beast is that man has a conscience or human nature. Rand looked at the barbarians in the distance with a clearer and clearer view, indicating that he was getting closer and closer to the walls, "and I don't see this in the barbarians at all, and the name gorilla that has not evolved more appropriately is more appropriate for them than for men." ”

Scolding and scolding, but the problem of the barbarians still has to be solved, Rand is confident that the ballista can solve the small-scale invasion, but if the barbarians are all dispatched, I am afraid that the ballista and * will be difficult to deal with, even if the tar and coal are set on fire in front of the city wall, they can only deal with it for a while, and it is not possible to effectively kill the barbarians in essence.

He needed weapons that were more powerful and had a wider range of strikes.

Rand has already chosen a brand new weapon in his mind, and that is rocket artillery!

As a bombing weapon launched in a single barrel, the deterrent and lethality brought by rocket artillery is not comparable to that of ballistas and flintlock guns, and the range is far greater than that fired by trebuchets*, in this era, there is no shield and armor that can resist flame cannons, no team can maintain a stable charging speed under the bombardment of *, and the range is long enough, the opponent does not even have time to organize the team.

Unlike heavy guns, which fire solid projectiles,* it does not require a weighing barrel to act as a firing device, its power is provided by the internal loading*, and only a lightweight rail mount is required for it to complete the firing and precision bombing.

This simple bombing weapon is composed of three parts, the combat part, the propulsion part, and the stabilization part, the combat part is filled with * and sharp iron plates, and the combustion chamber and nozzle are composed of the propulsion part, and the stability aspect is maintained by the tail to maintain the stability of the flight and the accuracy of the strike.

Although there is a type of turbine nozzle that uses a turbine nozzle to maintain balance, it is too demanding for the technical tool, and the current tight situation does not allow the rand to complete it in a short time.

The figure of the barbarian in front of the city wall was already very clear, he was dressed in an animal skin, his arms and calves were naked, he carried a huge rough battle axe in his hand, and looked at the soldiers on the city wall, standing there expressionlessly.

According to past experience, the gate of Cabin Town should have been breached a long time ago, but this year's situation seems to be a little different.
