c_t; Fang Ruitao walked on the street, looking at his works overnight, looking very satisfied, these are a batch of manpower catapults he built in the shape of a return cannon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info manpower catapult is different from the mechanical catapult with counterweights, although it requires more manpower, it can theoretically be infinitely enlarged, and Fang Ruitao's purpose is to make a larger catapult.

The soldiers laboriously pushed the catapults and placed them on top of the earthen platforms that had been piled up overnight. These platforms are two meters lower than the city walls, but such huge catapults cannot be used on the city walls, and such earthen platforms are already the limit.

Standing in front of the huge catapult, Katerina looked up and down curiously, unexpectedly that in one night, Fang Ruitao had created such a strange thing. This kind of thing without any blade can't be regarded as a weapon at all in the traditional thinking of the people of the Heavenly God Continent. In fact, in the entire Heavenly God Continent, only those who had witnessed Fang Ruitao's several urban defense battles could understand the power of this weapon.

"Is this your secret weapon?" Katerina said curiously.

"This is the most complicated one, and the other stones and forks have already been sent to the city, and the Durrants will suffer later. Fang Ruitao waved his hand and replied with a smile, with this thing here, he would be much more stable.

"Well, the enemy is about to attack, and may your weapons be useful. Katerina was still worried, although Fang Ruitao's reputation was very famous, she was not optimistic about this battle with a huge disparity between the enemy and herself.

"The young men are all assembled, we need people to use these big guys. (Marshmallows," Fang Ruitao pointed to the catapults.

"Do these weapons require no training to use? They are civilians without any military training. Katerina asked, a little uneasy.

"I just need them to pull the rope, just listen to the command. Fang Ruitao smiled, when he was making these weapons, he had trained a group of soldiers who had been sent by Katerina to help, and these people were already able to barely operate these weapons.

In the distance in the Durrant camp, there was a lot of shouting, and it was obvious that officers of all ranks were gathering their subordinates. Since the army wears civilian clothes, officers and soldiers cannot distinguish officers and soldiers from military uniforms and special emblems, so they can only rely on shouting. After tossing for a full hour, the Durrants lined up and walked out of the camp.

Fang Ruitao and Katerina climbed to the top of the city together, and the students who participated in the competition also came to see the excitement and help by the way, after all, his strength is not weak in the army. Fang Ruitao pointed to the Durrant who walked out of the barracks: "Look at these people, the regular army originally had a clear military uniform and flag guidance, so it was able to do the ban." Now they put on civilian clothes and have abandoned the flag again. If the operation is carried out step by step, it is fine, but in the event of an unexpected situation, they will not be able to find their generals, and they will not be able to gather troops. In this case, if there is chaos, it will become a catastrophe for them. ”

What Fang Ruitao said was all about experience, which made several students who had not yet walked out of the school nod, and secretly admired Fang Ruitao's rich combat experience and unique vision. Katerina on the side also secretly praised that this is a knowledge born out of war.

The Durrant army shouted slogans as they marched, and the long swords in their hands struck on their shields, and the momentum shook the sky, causing the faces of the Amadeira warriors who had not been in battle to change color. Fang Ruitao whispered to Katerina: "Your warrior has never fought or seen blood, and his mental quality is much worse at this time. Remember that any elite army is not a luxury equipment that can be piled up, it must be tempered from a bloody battle, and only an army that has fought a bloody battle is a real army. ”

"According to you, your Dragon Soul Legion is already an elite soldier?" asked Katerina with interest.

Fang Ruitao nodded: "Before the bloody battle of Gaoyang Hill, my Dragon Soul Legion was only a rookie team even if it was well equipped. After the Battle of Gaoyangqiu, I can say with certainty that they are already an elite army, even if there are less than one-tenth of the veterans, as long as these veterans are there, they can play a rock-like stabilizing role. With these veterans here, as long as they go through two battles with little intensity, those recruits can be as elite as veterans. ”

Katerina obviously trusted Fang Ruitao's words very much, she nodded and said, "But now there is no Dragon Soul Legion, with these soldiers under me, are you sure of victory?"

Fang Ruitao nodded: "Don't worry, we will win this battle." After this battle, your soldiers will grow up. Fang Ruitao didn't worry about Katerina, at this time, they not only needed to fight for strength, but also for their hearts, especially since these were all recruits under him who had never been on the battlefield. Only if Fang Ruitao and Katerina are full of confidence, these people can be stable in their hearts, otherwise they will already be defeated without fighting.

"Attention all catapults, six hundred meters ahead of the target, ready. Fang Ruitao immediately issued an order to the catapults on the earthen platform behind, they were only in the main attack direction where the main army of the Durrants was located, and the other directions were commanded by the senior officers of Amadeira City, and when the Durrants attacked from all sides, those officers also issued the same order almost at the same time.

Fang Ruitao's order was issued, and the people on the city wall all turned around, they wanted to see how this novel weapon could attack the enemy. After hearing the order, next to all the nearby catapults, one soldier placed a large sealed ceramic jar into the throwing bowl, and another soldier quickly poured a small amount of oil on the surface of the jar and lit a fire at the same time.

Looking at the raging flames, Katerina was shocked: "What are you going to do? You will set the city on fire like this, it will cause panic." ”

Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can watch it." Attention all catapults, launch. Fang Ruitao commanded loudly, his right hand was raised high and waved down, and the soldiers who had already prepared shouted at those young men: "Pull the rope quickly, hurry up." ”

The young men who stood on either side of the catapult had been waiting for a long time, and when they heard the order, they pulled up their ropes and ran in the direction of the center of the city. Under the traction of these men, the catapult's huge arm was quickly raised, and with great inertia, the burning clay pot flew out, cut a high arc, and threw it at the Durrants who were advancing in a dense line.

After Fang Ruitao handed over the longbow making method to Zhu Yunmei, the army of Luoyu City was equipped with a large number of such sharp weapons, even to the extent that everyone had one in hand. Due to the rain of arrows, the attacking Durrant army had to make changes, and soon the shields, which had always been improvized, became standard.
