Under Xia Yuqing's guidance, it didn't take long to understand the magic tower inside and out, and everyone also understood how to operate, the key is that this thing is originally semi-automatic, and it is easy to learn, as long as the second-layer personnel inject magic power, the third-layer operator can aim and launch, not a fool will play. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then Yi Chen spent another five hundred gold coins to build an arrow tower on the side of the stall in the commercial area not far from the heart of the city, this is not mainly for defense, but is ready to be built and handed over to the patrol team, they can send a few people up to monitor the entire area of the square, which is still very useful for maintaining law and order.

The arrow tower requires 500 gold coins, and the materials required are much less, as long as the wood is 5,000, and the ore is not needed.

After it is built, everyone knows why there is no ore, because this tower is all wooden, ten meters high, below is a wooden frame structure, there is a wooden ladder for climbing on the wooden frame, and the top is a tower house with a diameter of about three meters, and it is also surrounded by wooden planks, and there is an eaves on the top, but the planks around the house only reach people's chests, which seems to be convenient for people to shoot arrows on it.

The square is considered semi-experimental here, and after this is completed, everyone will follow Yi Chen to the main gate in the east of the city, and the front and rear gates are the most important defense points.

After reaching the destination, Yi Chen first built a magic tower base on each side of the city wall inside the city gate.

Everyone had enough materials, and the donation was completed quickly, and then two arrow towers were built on each side of the city gate, and the materials were enough.

Looking at the several defensive buildings standing next to the gate, everyone's hearts inexplicably felt a sense of security.

Due to the current limited economy, Dongdaemun will be like this for the time being, with two magic towers and four arrow towers, which can barely be regarded as establishing a preliminary defense system.

Then everyone spent some time going to the back door on the west side, the same two magic towers and four arrow towers, but this time everyone stopped eating after donating two magic towers and one arrow tower, because the materials were not enough.

Yi Chen did not stop after instructing everyone to continue collecting materials, and seeing that there were more than 5,000 gold coins left, he came to Weiyang's barracks to prepare to build some small facilities to store here.

Of course, the magic tower and the arrow tower will be rebuilt when there is money in the future, and now the defense of the two city gates here is obviously insufficient, and although there are moats in other areas, no one is allowed to find a way to cross the river, so in addition to the gate here, other places must also slowly establish a defense line, so that there is no dead end in all directions to defend in order to be considered a defense system.

However, the financial and material resources required to achieve this step are huge.

It costs much less to build a trebuchet and the like, Yi Chen had already asked the team to find some spare wood and ore in the villagers' bags, ten ores and a hundred pieces of wood were enough to build a trebuchet.

And it's different to make this thing, Yi Chen has to have materials in his bag, let the team members trade some materials for himself, and then after paying the money and choosing to manufacture, he will have a progress bar prompting the words "in manufacturing".

About a minute later, as soon as the manufacturing was completed, a trebuchet suddenly appeared in front of Yi Chen, startling the crowd who came to make soy sauce.

This trebuchet is about two meters long, one person high, the bottom is a thick flat bottom, and above it are some triangular support structures that do not look complicated, such as support frames, nooses, catapults or something, and a square weight is hanging from the back of the support rod.

Yi Chen didn't understand, but Wei Yang next to him understood, walked up to the trebuchet, called two people to pull the rope on the lever with him, and a large wooden rod connected to the big spoon of the loader "creaked" down, and then tied the rope to a wooden stick on the base.

Wei Yang clapped his hands and said: "This is a small lever trebuchet, the operation is relatively simple, as long as two or three people with greater strength operate the rope, pull the lever down, and then one person can load it, it can throw stones below a hundred catties." ”

Yi Chen nodded first, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Brother Yang, are ordinary stones in the trebuchet, aren't ordinary stones not able to cause harm to people?" ”

Wei Yang laughed when he heard this, and then asked someone to find a stone and let Yi Chen try it himself.

It's not stupid to look for a stone, he came back after a while, and he didn't come back stupidly with a stone of one hundred and eighty catties, and he took a stone of more than ten catties and handed it to Yi Chen.

Yi Chen took the stone, and as soon as he put the big spoon on the trebuchet, he understood what was going on, because a progress bar of "Loading" actually appeared in front of him, and after about two seconds, it prompted that the loading was completed, and then everyone was stunned to find that the originally uneven stone had now turned into a round bullet stone!

"This hanging! It also comes with automatic processing! ”

"It looks like a cannonball, and if it explodes, it's even more hoisting!"

"But it's like this kind of efficiency is a little worse, and it takes time to reload."

The villagers all discussed it in twos and threes, and Wei Yang also stood up to explain that it does take time to fill, the smaller the stone, the faster it will be filled, and if the full amount of 100 catties of stones, the loading time will take about five seconds.

Of course, Yi Chen also discovered this problem, in fact, whether the stones thrown out are round or square, there should be no improvement in lethality, but the damage caused by some stones that were originally with water chestnuts should be higher, but Yi Chen They have nowhere to find someone to reason, the system is the boss, what it is is when it comes out, and if there is no such process, the stones that may be hit out will be harmless.

However, as long as the trebuchet base is large, it will not have much effect on the rotation, and it can still be used to strike non-stop.

"Where's the transmitter switch for this thing?" Yi Chen observed for a while and didn't figure out how to launch.

After hearing this, Wei Yang speechlessly pointed to the rope with a lever under the catapult, took out a weapon and gestured, the meaning was obvious.

"Ho! So simple! After Yi Chen finished speaking, he gently picked up the dagger and cut it lightly at the rope.

"Whew!"

The catapult ejected, and then the stone flew away with a whistling sound, and there was a faint "clang" sound in the distance.

A woman who was buying a new house with a child suddenly heard a loud noise from the second floor, put down the child and secretly went upstairs to see that the wooden window was gone, and the things in the room were broken, and then saw a stone ball rolling slowly in the room!

After the woman was stunned for a moment, her eyes slowly burned into flames, and then she leaned on the windowsill with an earth-shattering sound: "Which goddamn bastard throws stones and smashes the windows of my house, there is a kind of standing up, the old lady can't beat you to death!" ”

Most of the village echoed with this roar!

Yi Chen shrunk his neck and said with an embarrassed expression: "Ouch, I'll go... I forgot it's still in the village! ”

"By the way, Brother Yang, isn't the village a safe zone, why does it seem to have smashed people?" Yi Chen said with a little embarrassment.

Wei Yang rolled his eyes and said: "The trebuchet is originally a siege weapon, what is so rare in smashing a house, of course, the key is that you are now the mayor of the town, here is the highest right holder, here is a safe zone for others, the cannon is fired by you, it is no different from the wild for you, fortunately, it is to smash the house, if you smash people, this power is definitely killed in seconds!" ”

Yi Chen smashed his mouth, secretly said that it was dangerous, fortunately no one died, at this time, there was already a guard team to send the news to Wei Yang, saying that there was a family in the village that seemed to have been attacked by unknown people, and the house furniture was broken a lot, they were worried that something was wrong, you must know that ordinary people can't smash people's houses, but they haven't found the culprit yet, fortunately, there are no casualties at present.

After hearing this, Yi Chen hurriedly traded fifty gold coins to the sunspot, and asked him to help compensate for it, which was a big mess.
