Chapter 166: Catapult
The Spartans only killed a few Persian soldiers with long Go, but most of them were wounded, and the battlefield was a mess by sorcerers, and there was a poisonous fog everywhere.
By the time those few hundred Persian soldiers withdrew, the Spartans had already wounded nearly 1,500 people!
Those who were killed and burned by the cavalry, and those who were burned by the flames, were arranged to withdraw to the city, and then the Spartans that were replenished were then killed by the Persian soldiers, and finally a large part was poisoned by the sorcerers.
Leonidas frowned, he was very angry now, his brain didn't understand what was going on, the Persians had become so powerful overnight, he didn't know how powerful the Persians' weapons were, because the Persians didn't have a weapon left for them to study.
When they came into contact with the cavalry today, Leonidas and the Shark were also there, and the two of them were not injured by the cavalry impact, but the Shark was burned by the fire that followed, so Leonidas withdrew to the Hot Springs with the Shark, so he was not injured.
……
"That's amazing! What a ...... this weapon Unheard of......"
Xerxes I was shocked to see the soldiers who had returned unharmed, and even if he believed in the power of this weapon, it should have been a battle loss for the Spartans, but now......
"Little things."
Wang Yi is in a good mood, since they won't make a move if they don't make a move, then the next thing is interesting, just rely on the two armies to win or lose?
Why did you win me?
I grew up with 36 tricks!
At the celebration banquet, Xerxes was again to Wang Yi'ake
They touted and licked, and they were very satisfied, this is the style of the king of a country, knowing how to make good use of people, and not being informal.
"Those godbreakers, let them see with their own eyes how the hot spring pass they are sheltering has been breached!"
Wang Yi is full of confidence, although he has not been on the battlefield, and he has no experience in commanding soldiers to fight, but he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run?
All the strategies and weapons that can be used can be made are specially made to blow up the arrogant Spartans.
After the celebration banquet was eaten, Xerxes ordered to rush to make this weapon, and Wang Yi returned to the room and took out paper and pen.
"What are you doing...... Writing homework? ”
Bo Zai saw that Wang Yi also took out a pen and paper, and walked over curiously and asked.
"Go, I'm drawing drawings."
Wang Yi bit the tip of his pencil and was thinking about how to draw.
"What drawings? Would you still do this? ”
Bo Tsai pouted, he had only been in high school for two years...... It's really hard to play with something so advanced.
"Catapult ......"
The manufacturing drawings of the catapult Wang Yi not only did not do it......
I've never seen it, and I haven't drawn a drawing in a long time.
But it doesn't matter, these problems don't prevent him from drawing, it's just a drawing of a trebuchet, and he can basically understand it after a simple drawing.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ke
I'm a graduate of high school, but he doesn't seem to be able to help with the drawings.
"You can teach those soldiers how to use catapults, and how to use Ge."
Wang Yi has already thought of how to draw, but the painting is not very good-looking...... Barely able to read it.
……
The next day, Xerxes did not attack Hot Springs, because Wang Yi told him that there were several extremely lethal weapons in the making, so he was not in a hurry, on the contrary, he was very happy, it was really a genius from heaven, Xerxes shook his head, and a faint smile on his face seemed to be mocking Leonidas, Leonidas just let this kind of person go so casually.
Not only today, but for the next few days, the Persians were armistically attacking Thermopylae.
On the fourth day, Wang Yi still didn't plan to attack, but there seemed to be movement on the Hot Spring Pass, and a large group of soldiers entered the Hot Spring Pass.
"It should be an Athenian."
Wang Yi didn't know the strength of the Athenian soldiers, but he thought that it should be similar to the Greek coalition army, and the Greek coalition army would only watch, and the cowardly ones would die, Wang Yi didn't take it to heart.
On the fifth day, Wang Yi finally built a trebuchet that satisfied Wang Yi, and there were twenty of them!
"Smash! Smash me! Don't go to the front line today, just smash it! I'll see if their shields can hold back such a big stone! ”
Wang Yi was full of excitement with dark circles under his eyes, he hadn't slept for several days, he was doing everything from drawing drawings to manufacturing supervision, and he was even present to test the power of the trebuchet, and the result made him very satisfied, the cost of the trebuchet was not high, so they were manufacturing it one after another.
"Archers! Get ready! Let them cool off with a wave of arrows! ”
Xerxes has handed over the basic command of the battlefield to Wang Yi and let him play freely, and the bows and arrows equipped by the Persian army have also been improved by him, not only the rate of fire and power are a little greater, but even the arrows are poisoned! Just rub it a little! Hey......
The rain of arrows came as scheduled, and this time the rain of arrows was not covered in front of the hot spring pass, but farther away! The entire hot spring pass is covered, and it really covers the sky and the sun!
Day suddenly turned into night, like a demon king covering the sky with one hand.
Wang Yi didn't know about the casualties, but the effect should be good.
Of course, the effect does not refer to casualties, but to deterrence, and such arrows can only be released once in a long time, which is too expensive.
"Catapult ready! Aim! him! ”
Wang Yi yelled, he really has the feeling of being a commander-in-chief on the battlefield now, and the pleasure of giving orders is really cool!
It's simply addictive!
Twenty big stones in one round! Falling from the sky, smashing on the walls of the hot spring pass and inside the hot spring pass.
There is no need to look at or guess the power of a big stone, not to mention hitting someone, even if it is smashed on the city wall, it is a pit! The damage caused by the shattering and scattering of stones is also amazing!
"Go on! Launch! ”
Wang Yi didn't know what was going on in the hot springs, but it must be panicked, no matter how resolute and brave you are, under this kind of attack, you have to give me a good cat to tremble!
"Bang! Didn't hit...... It's your turn. ”
Ke
The three of them were bored on the cliff holding the *** game, to see if they could hit people at such a distance, the effective range of this heavy *** is very far, but the hit rate really depends on luck, and it has nothing to do with technology.
Ke
As a result, Xerxes on the side watched the catapult smashing people with great interest, he had never seen this kind of scene, and it was really cool to dare not show his head on the other side of this kind of crushing.
"What are you doing? I want to play too! ”
Xerxes saw the three of them playing with ***, although he didn't know what it was, but he wanted to try it.
"Aim at the person, press this, and that's it."
Ke
Hand the gun to Xerxes and let him try his luck.
"Bang!"
Despite his astonishment at how far this little thing could see, Xerxes didn't say anything, and shot at a Spartan on the wall.
"I've come to see if I've been hit!
……
it! ”
