，

The family looked at the heavy vehicle with fear, but it was used by the flail, but it didn't see anything strange.

There was silence in the city.

There was an air of unease and panic in the air.

At this time, the huge machine had been pushed to the position hundreds of meters away. The big men who pushed the carts shouted one after another and got busy.

Someone took down the hammer and swung it, knocking the wheels off in one fell swoop. Then the tarpaulin was ripped off. Exposed the massive machinery to the air.

Immediately the people at the head of the city were in a state of panic.

"It's David Mao"

People shouted wildly. One catty, his face is like earth, and he is extremely depressed.

Lorraine looked at everyone's panicked looks. couldn't help frowning, and shook his fingers slightly dissatisfied. The inspector next to him immediately rushed out. Waving the order flag, loudly spreading orders outward.

Those who stood behind the soldiers "gendarmes." They received an "order from the Supreme Commander to suppress the bullets, after which the commanders at all levels were immediately ashamed and handed over."

Because this was originally their own job, but in the panic and negligence, they forgot about it.

These ruffians were reminded by Lorraine's "kindness." Later, in order to make up for his mistakes, he added the meaning of Xiàn. He gave the big-headed soldiers another hard slap on their heads, beating them to scream, and then under the shouting and scolding of the officers, they finally became honest.

Lorraine listened, and now that no one was there shouting in fright, and everyone fell silent, then she picked her ears in satisfaction and scolded in a low voice: "These damn bitches. It's really not a fight."

(Afterwards, when Lorraine was questioned about the war examples, he was also severely rebuked by the dean of the military academy for this: "It's so immature.") You should use a knife. As long as a few are slaughtered, they will definitely be honest. It's so soft-hearted. ”

But the old guy was just talking about it in private. ”）

He slowly stood up. Ignoring the resentful glances of the soldiers next to him. Then he put his hand on the battlement of the wall and looked carefully at the opposite side.

Looking at it, Lord Lorraine couldn't help but be disappointed, what kind of bullshit "King Fuwei" is just a giant stone throwing

These guys really have enough to pretend, and they actually give a pound. The trebuchet gave the name of such a bull fork, and it was followed by the one who always likes to brag indiscriminately, even if he grabbed a carrot, it is also called "won a heavy victory" and then deceived the stupid people of the whole village.

Catherine had been standing by and watching.

As the Governor of the East, she was the rear and vigorously transported supplies to the front line to support the years of war of the warmongers of Archduke Julian, so she knew a lot about these military equipment. Seeing the several trebuchets launched by the other party, I was also surprised.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw the disapproving look on Lorraine's face, for fear that he would underestimate the enemy, and introduced in a low voice: "Lorraine, you have a little heart." These are giant trebuchets with a long range and can be loaded with all kinds of ammunition such as fire oil and stone projectiles, which are very powerful.

And unlike weapons like magic cannons, it doesn't need magic, or the Holy See's Holy Powers. With the power of the machine, it can shoot continuously without interruption. It is the most powerful mechanical weapon that mankind has ever created.

Because of this, people named it after the trebuchet where King David killed the Goliath, the warrior of Gallet. ”

She paused, looked at the heavy plumb under the trebuchet opposite, and continued: "Look at these trebuchets, each of them is about twenty tons, and they are heavy. Each one is worth a lot of money. These guys are really willing to pay for it. The siege of a castle also sent out more than two dozen vehicles. ”

That's when Lorraine came to his senses. These trebuchets were nothing new to a man like him from the era of mechanized production, but for the people of this era, they were no less powerful than the powerful railroad cannons of the First World War.

Lorraine looked at the location of the trebuchets, then gave her thumb and narrowed her eyes for a momentary comparison.

Leo couldn't help but wonder when he looked at him, and his big dark eyes blinked. Then he pulled his head and squeezed past Catherine's side.

He stood beside him, hesitantly biting his fingers, and finally couldn't help his natural curiosity, and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here? Could it be those bad guys who have studied the magic academy, draw a circle, and curse them to death?"

The rest of the people were also curious by Lorraine's action, but they didn't want to ask directly.

"Lord Commander, are you dancing the Great God?"

Once this sentence is spoken. Don't delay Lord Lorraine in annoyance. Give the short-eyed creature a shining, razor-sharp nail clippers and kick him out of town, as a death squad, a charge for the brave.

Therefore, they all looked this way.

Lorraine smiled and held out her finger. "It's a measurement method. Straighten your arms and compare the approximate height of the person opposite you with a centimeter of your thumb fingernail to calculate a relatively accurate distance. ”

Seeing that there was no magic to play with, Leo immediately sighed in disappointment and said, "Oh, that's right. ”

The officers next to them listened to each other, but they looked at each other. Knowing that accurate distance measurement has always been one of the challenges in the military.

But Lorraine didn't think about it before, and with just a few words, he easily solved this problem. (Napoleon, when Napoleon built a pontoon bridge for crossing the river, seems to have talked about similar measurements.) It's more complicated, and this time is already the year of milk. This shows the slow progress of knowledge. ）

These guys are almost crazy.

They all looked at their commander with strange eyes, their eyes full of raging flames.

Lorraine had already given them too many surprises. first wrote a book "On War" that made it difficult for everyone to memorize, although this bastard often used excuses to delay the draft, which can be described as the scum of the scum.

But anyway. This book alone is enough to make him a famous generation of masters of the art of war.

Then it was the script, and then it was the reform of steel, the making of horse-drawn carriages, and the making of zuò wind-milled waterwheels, plus later springs, balls,

These things, one person can make one, it is enough to soothe the life. But he still kept digging one after another, and every time he could surprise people. It makes people feel refreshed when they see it.

Could it be that there are really geniuses in these worlds who are born to know and astonish?

If it weren't for the fact that it was on the battlefield now, these guys would have mutinied and kidnapped Lorraine, and then, as Leo often said, "Burn the island, cut pork, spicy water, tiger chairs, Jiuhua Mountain, eighteen bronze arhat formations, and the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" can all be used, and all knowledge must be taken out of Lorraine's mouth.

At this time, I saw that the trebuchets on the opposite side had been slowly assembled. The throwing arm that is more than ten meters long has been erected high. Like a sharp sword, it pierces the sky.

Everyone immediately turned back and forth in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

Catherine also coughed lightly next to her, reminding: "Lorraine, do you want to fight, don't send people to attack, destroy them, and when they are all erected, we will only be beaten." ”

Lorraine saw that the people on the other side were rushing back and forth, assembling the trebuchet in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but sigh softly, muttering, "I know." I know"

He held the battlement with his hand, and secretly thought in his heart: The distance chosen by the other party is good, just outside the range of the ballista.

And the magic ray on the castle magic tower, although powerful, but the charge is slow, can only be used as a hole card, before not finding the location of the opponent's great magician, destroying the opponent's humanity, or facing an extremely critical situation, but do not dare to use it lightly" reminds the intermission

"I didn't expect that I would still be quite good at fighting"

On the opposite side of Lorraine. The burly, dignified old Despi sat upright, with a straight waist, a slender bayonet sword in his hand, and a big sword and a golden knife sat under the Almohad Empire's "lion" painted similar to that of an Impressionist painter, but how to look like a pound of "pig's head".

He looked ahead with a smug face, and saw that there was still no movement on the top of the Maple Leaf Danlin Castle, so he couldn't help but wipe his smooth and shiny beard with sesame oil, laughed, and said, "It seems that the Maple Leaf Danlin Castle is not a big deal."

A general with a beard on his face next to him bowed and said in a deep voice: "My lord, according to the convention, at this time we should send troops to feint to attack Quan Ye Dan Limburg, contain their forces, and make them unable to free up, in case they send troops to destroy our trebuchet troops." ”

Old Despi heard that this man bluntly pointed out his shortcomings, and immediately changed color.

He snorted coldly. Disdainfully brushed the long sleeves embroidered with white lace edges, and rebuked unceremoniously: "A bunch of stubborn Qiu Ba, what strategy and tactics do you know." ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Over the years, during the hunting of the royal enclosure, His Majesty has always rushed to the front for pleasure, and has worked hard to be responsible for the command of the formation, but I am a catty. A loyal courtier. I'm tired, I'm tired. ”

He said so. But there was a sparkle in his eyes.

The officers couldn't help but look at each other, although they didn't say anything, but in their hearts they despised this extraordinary-looking general. I cursed in my heart: It's ridiculous enough that an old rabbit actually climbed on our heads.

As for the royal hunting, don't think we don't know, the royal family has long lost its bloody nature, and has become a group of old ladies who can only shoot pheasants and hunt hares.

But "the bigger the officer." The more you know. "This second iron law of bureaucracy is common among civil servants. In military attachés, it can even be said that it is a universal truth.

Although these Qiu Ba can't philosophically summarize this law, they also know it very clearly in their hearts.

Old Despi pointed to the castle. He said proudly, "Do you think I haven't thought about your method? ”

Everyone immediately remembered. There is a famous line that has been circulated from Maple Leaf Danlin College, "I'm making a big bowl of fried noodles." I couldn't help but feel my heart turn sharply, and my face was strange.

Some even sneered lowly.

Old Despi was just proud in his heart at this time, and he didn't pay attention, and continued: "You must know that by reliable information, the troops of the opposite castle are not enough. So I deliberately put the trebuchet in front of me.

So. If they don't keep their doors, they will watch themselves beaten. If they rush out of the city, we will rush over and entangle with them. Annihilate all enemies and shake their morale. If you're lucky, you might be able to take advantage of the chaos to storm the city."

When he said this, the light in his eyes couldn't help but eagerly rise, and he licked his lips. Then he stood up and said in a loud voice, "Everyone." Mechanical Ye Danlin, this is the demon clan million coalition army Duzhou Mule Shen Sha Lan Guo We will take it down, and the power can go down in history and will be of great quality

Fight your way to the enemy. Make a contribution, right now"

The officers next to them glanced at each other, their faces extremely strange. I thought in my heart: You also know that this is the place where the demon alliance broke its halberd, and if it can't be defeated here, everyone will have no place to die.

If you hit it down. How can it go down in history? It is almost the same as 10,000 years of stench.

But see this old rabbit who has the power of life and death. These generals didn't dare to ask for their own boring. They all lowered their heads, and said in unison in a dull voice: "Adults are wise and wise."

Old Despi looked at the battle-hardened, usually unruly generals, humbly bowed their noble heads in front of him, and for a while, the spirit was extremely high. secretly said in his heart: The big husband should be like that

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha" reminded the intermission

At the same time. Lorraine saw that the trebuchet on the opposite side was nearing completion, and did not disassemble and reassemble again, and then evacuated the ear energy of the battlefield. Only then did he look back at Lorina, who was already making preparations under the city.

Lorina couldn't help but smile at the sight of his concerned gaze, and then nodded a little firmly, slowly.

Lorraine looked at Vera, seeing her blinking blue eyes like the sea, looking at herself without blinking, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, he thought about it, handed her all the muskets in his hand, and said, "You also have a little heart." ”

Vera immediately agreed, and ran down the city as fast as she could.

Lorraine looked into the distance, there was no sun in the sky, and the dark clouds were still heavy overhead, like a large gray iron plate.

He exhaled softly, then reached forward and pointed lightly.

With his order, the ballistas of each battery turned their muzzles one after another. They tilted the muzzle of their guns upwards at an angle of forty-five degrees, increasing the range of their ballistas as much as possible, and then began to bombard the soon-to-be-assembled trebuchet troops in the distance.

"Boom, boom. rumble

With a loud bang, countless fireworks immediately burst into the ground, and the ground began to tremble again. Immediately after, billowing smoke rose into the sky, obscuring everyone's view.

Old Despi was startled when he heard the billowing explosion. He didn't bother to continue pretending, jumped up from his chair, took a few steps, and then looked forward.

Look down. He couldn't help but laugh.

I saw that the shelling of those ballistae was fierce. But because of the range, every time he flew to a distance of tens of meters from the trebuchet, he was exhausted and stuck obliquely on the ground.

The explosion was violent, but for those trebuchets. But it didn't hurt. Not even the flakes of the grass that had been blown up flew over their heads.

Old Despi pointed to the other side and said in a loud voice, "Gentlemen, take a look." They are now scared and have begun to fire indiscriminately without a goal. ”

He turned. His eyes swept over the faces of the generals around him, and he excitedly raised his right fist and announced loudly: "The victory is ours." ”

The generals glanced at each other, then bowed down and said in unison: "Congratulations to your Excellency for winning all battles."

The Almohads soldiers present also began to cheer in unison, as if they had received some kind of hint. The sound was like a tidal wave, wave after wave, and even the continuous explosion of the ballista on the opposite side was drowned out.

These emperors and people have been a little carried away when they see victory in sight.

They didn't notice that there were dozens of black dots in the castle opposite, which slowly rose into the air under the cover of the rising smoke, hiding in the low-hanging lead clouds.

By this time, the twenty or so trebuchets had already been assembled. Dozens of wagons loaded with ammunition slowly galloped out from behind the army.

Those big men were already tired and sweaty at this time, but they still didn't dare to relax, and busily carried all kinds of ammunition from the carriage.

They haphazardly piled the ammunition around the trebuchet. Then he began to manipulate the noose, pulling the throwing arm down. happily put on the oil bomb and hurriedly lit the fire. Then adjust it slightly, and it loosens.

Dozens of oil bombs smoked and staggered in mid-air, arcing one after another, and then slammed into the direction of the castle.

Seeing this, Shirmel Melia hurried out.

She stood on top of the city, like a plum blossom, standing proudly against the cold wind. He sang loudly. Clasp your hands together and place them in front of your chest.

The massive sacred parapet in the castle is immediately activated.

A white glow appeared on the roof of the castle, like a large, transparent glass cover, completely enveloping the castle.

I saw that the oil bombs smashed heavily on the protective shield, and then cracked, igniting a fire, and the oil in it slowly slid down the protective shield while burning, turning into magnificent and magical fire lines.

Seeing that the oil was useless, Old Despi couldn't help but sneer, and said softly: "Change the stone."

With that command, the trebuchets threw aside the canisters of fire oil and replaced them with heavy stone projectiles. Then shoot again.

"Tom, tom"

The stone bullet slammed into the shield with a loud sound. Although the stone bullets were bounced away, it was like a hammer slamming into bulletproof glass. Gradually, fine cracks began to appear on the protective shield like a sister net, and then spread to the naked eye, (to be continued)
