Ye Xi continued to devote himself to the improvement of the ballista.

He installed brass racks on both sides of the ballista's beam, which made the ballista more efficient at firing and could adjust the projectile power to get the desired range. In addition, he designed a set of gears and chains to make the preparation and reloading of ballistas semi-automated.

The problem of ballistas firing too slowly was completely solved.

The development of ballistas came to an end, and Xicheng began to manufacture ballistas and bronze spears on a large scale, form ballista teams, and train ordinary people who could not become warriors to become ballista fighters.

Two months later.

On a slightly hot day, the ballista officially appeared in front of all the people of Xicheng.

The ballistae strode through the crowd with their ballista parts held high, straight to the towering walls, and climbed the stone stairs at the edge of the walls to the top.

Many Xicheng soldiers along the road were attracted by their movements and followed them all the way.

The stronger warriors relied on their good jumping ability and jumped directly onto the city wall with a bent knee.

Ignoring everyone's curious eyes, the ballistae were busy and skillfully building shelves and assembling ballistas.

The torch of the Ganqi tribe looked at it for a while, found the flat kiln that was helping among the cadres, pulled it over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Pingyao was in a good mood today, and he didn't sell Guanzi, and said with a smile: "We are assembling ballistas, do you know the ballistas? These big guys can shoot spears!"

"Ballista?" Torch's eyes lit up, "Crossbow, I know, Tushan has a crossbow team, I have seen them train, those arrows are shot accurately and ruthlessly, but the arrows are a little smaller, and they can't play a big role." ”

"Is your ballista similar to Tu Shan's crossbow?

Ping Yao didn't expect him to be able to quickly think of the crossbow arrow, and looked at him unexpectedly.

"Yes, a ballista is a bit like a crossbow. ”

The interest in the torch's eyes was even stronger, and his eyes swept over the bronze giant spears scattered on the ground like a spotlight, and he said in his heart, these giant spears were as thick as his arms, and longer than two big men stacked together, this guy called ballista could throw such a huge spear, how powerful should it be?

The torch was tickling, and he put his shoulder on the shoulder of the flat kiln and almost said: "How about giving me a ballista? I don't want you for nothing, I'll exchange the beast nucleus!"

Pingyao shook off the torch's arm in disgust: "This ballista doesn't belong to me, I don't have the right to exchange it with you, besides, we have set up a special ballista team, and all the ballistas have their own." ”

Ju was not happy: "The ballista team, when was it established, how come I don't know, can their strength be as great as mine?"

Ping Yao smiled: "These people who are assembling ballistas are ballistamen, do you want to compete with them?"

Torch frowned.

Most of the people assembling the ballistas are ordinary people, and even most of them are middle-aged men or middle-aged women who have lost their reproductive function, or disabled people who have missing arms and legs, and they don't even have a strong man.

Because these people are not strong enough, they may not be able to survive the pain of the warrior's awakening, so they are not qualified to become reserve fighters.

And the ballista team turned out to be composed of such ordinary people?

Isn't it a joke to choose such a person to control such a powerful weapon?

Waste, waste!

The torch lost his temper and wanted to get angry on the spot, but he was afraid that there were ordinary people in front of him, so he held back: "...... Since it's a ballista team, what about the captain? Who is the captain? I'll talk to him. ”

Ping Yao raised his head to the front: "Oh, it's him, the cultivator of the Liao tribe." ”

The torch followed his gaze and looked angrily, and then the whole person froze in place.

What he saw.

...... An old man with gray hair?

Torch: "......"

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked to the wall.

Pingyao reflexively grabbed him: "What's wrong?"

Ju Chaotian rolled his eyes: "Let's go, go to the Colosseum to train." ”

The ballista team is composed of such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is nothing more than this to think about the ballista, so it is a waste of time to stay here, it is better to spend more time training.

"Are you sure?" Ping Yao raised an eyebrow, "This ballista was invented by Lord Xiwu. ”

After a pause, he turned around,

"Invented by Lord Xiwu?"

He changed his attitude in an instant: "Then let's see." ”

Ye Xi has such a magic power in the hearts of Xicheng people, and everyone, especially the people in the Black Ridge Mountains and the Nu River Valley who migrated with Ye Xi, almost blindly trust Ye Xi.

Pingyao didn't laugh at him, but said: "I'm in a good mood today, I'll leave you behind, if it's normal, I will ignore you, let you regret it!"

"Also, I would like to give you another piece of news, Lord Xiwu has taken our potters to the grassland......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a noisy shouting around him.

"Look at the sky!"

"Lord Xiwu, it's Lord Xiwu who is back!"

"Ah, Lord Xiwu's war beast, the cormorant, is so domineering......"

The flat kiln and the torch looked up.

A brilliant purple-red appeared in the light blue sky, and this purple-red rapidly expanded, and with a gust of wind that seemed to be about to lift people, the cormorant of the Great Wilderness came to a graceful stop on the city wall.

Ye Xi jumped off the top of the cormorant's head.

"Lord Xiwu!"

At this moment, both the people who were assembling the ballistas and the soldiers watching from the sidelines saluted respectfully.

Ye Xi nodded with a smile.

The next moment, three equally large Yang Birds flew straight down towards the city wall, and everyone hurriedly retreated to make room for them to land.

The scorching, red desert, and great flame jumped off the Yang Bird.

Except for Da Yan, both of them had stinky faces, and their eyes were very unkind when they looked at Ye Xi.

Zhuo took a sip and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky boy, become his follower......"

Because their task is to ensure the safety of the cormorants, every time Ye Xi rides the cormorants away, they have to follow behind, protect Ye Xi's safety in disguise, and become his followers.

The captain of the dignified super tribe senior hunting team, nesting in the small Xicheng as a follower, was shocked when he said it.

Pingyao walked up to Ye Xi: "Lord Xiwu, have you found the giant beast?"

Ye Xi bowed: "Find a few mutant hammernose thunder beasts in the grassland, this will bring your people over." ”

Ping Yao rubbed his hands.

He knew that the hammernose thunderbeast was about the same size as the gray elephant, but how big would this mutated hammernose thunderbeast be?

"Heh......"

Hong Mo let out a sneer.

Everyone looked at it, and Red Mo looked back at the past with contempt.

The grassland where they went with Ye Xi just now, so they could clearly see what kind of huge mutated giant beasts the Xicheng people were provoking. If they hadn't stopped those mutated hammernose thunderbeasts in time, they would definitely break through the towering walls under their feet and break into the city.

At that time, Xicheng will definitely suffer heavy losses.

It's insane.
