Wang Yong and the others watched the enemy move away most of the rejected horses on the city tower, but there was no way to do it, they could only watch the people use their own rejected horses to set up defenses outside the camp at the bottom of the mountain, and they were indescribably depressed.

After more than half an hour, Chris and Mu Sen shook their heads, sighed and said, "Let's go back and rest first, it is estimated that this battle will not start until the afternoon at the earliest." ”

Wang Yong put up a pergola and looked at the camp of the Eternal Empire, because the distance was too far, and he could only see a vague approximation, Wang Yong asked puzzledly: "Why? I think they are quite happy, maybe they will rush up in a while." ”

Chris looked at Wang Yong, handed him a monocular, and then explained helplessly: "They are now camped, which means that they will not attack immediately, you look at the soldiers who came in and out, they all drove the carriage to the direction of the woods to the south, they should be going to cut wood and come back to make a ladder to attack the wall." Although the walls here are not very large, it takes a lot of time to make enough wall ladders. ”

Wang Yong looked through the not very good lookout glass, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you go back and rest, I'm watching here." Seeing Wang Yong's uneasy look, Chris and Mu Sen and the others didn't say anything, turning around and returning to the temporary headquarters.

After the others left, Wang Yong and Tie Mian began to mumble shoulder to shoulder again, and let out a bad laugh from time to time, while Shadow Dance and the others were full of black lines on their faces, and finally they couldn't stand Wang Yong's shamelessness, and they all hid from the two of them far away, out of sight and out of mind.

Not long after lunch, with the efforts of many soldiers, the defense of the eastern city wall of Shenlong Pass was finally completed, not only more than 40 crossbow carts were erected on the city wall, but also more than a dozen trebuchets were transported from near the western city wall, and the long-range strike capability of the seaside side was basically saturated, and it far exceeded the enemy.

Trebuchets are long-range heavy weapons on this continent. It is an indispensable weapon of large-scale offensive and defensive warfare, not only with huge lethality, but also with super deterrent, and large stones a few meters square are flying all over the sky, Wang Yong is terrified when he thinks about it.

The trebuchet relies on twisted ropes to generate a force ejection, the ejection rod is usually upright, the top of the rod is a "spoon" containing the projectile, and the lower end of the rod is inserted in a tightly twisted horizontal rope. When ejecting, the ejection rod is first pulled to a near-horizontal position with a winch, and stone bullets are placed in a "spoon". When the winch rope is released, the ejection lever returns to a vertical position to eject the stone.

Although there are trebuchets, there are very few people who can use them, or they can be said to be almost none, because the soldiers on the seashore are either minotaurs who only know how to work before or new recruits who have just joined the army, although they are all physically strong, and after training, they will never lose to any regular army in hand-to-hand combat, but their knowledge is still too little.

These dozen trebuchets are huge, about fifteen meters tall. It is almost as high as the city wall, but the square chassis is more than 20 meters long and more than 10 meters wide, and it cannot be placed on the city wall, so it can only be placed under the city wall for projectile to the outside.

A brigade of minotaur hoplites was in charge of the dozen trebuchets. On average, there are less than ten people per trebuchet, but with the strong physique of the minotaur, it is enough.

Set up the trebuchet, after getting the permission of Wang Yong, the lord. The captain in charge of the trebuchet began to conduct projection experiments.

The two minotaurs turned the winch together, and when the top spoon was pulled horizontally, two more minotaurs placed a stone about one meter square on the spoon. Then, the captain waited behind the trebuchet for a sharp look at the bull's eye, adjusting the direction and angle of the shot.

After a moment of scrambling, everything was ready, and the onlookers retreated, waiting to witness the first shot of the trebuchet.

Under the wave of the captain, the minotaur soldier in charge of the launch spit into his hand excitedly, and then grabbed the sledgehammer, slammed it on the circlip of the winch, only to hear the crisp sound of 'bang', the circlip of the winch was knocked off, the noose pulled the connection with the lever and suddenly stood up, and the stone bullet contained in the 'spoon' at the top of the lever also shot out with lightning speed.

Wang Yong and Tie Mian, who were standing on the city tower watching all this, nodded after seeing the speed of the stone projectile, feeling that with this kind of energy, the stone bullet can definitely shoot 500 meters away, and it is downhill outside the city, and the stone bullet can also take advantage of the momentum to roll down after landing, and it can also form extended damage, which can definitely cause a lot of casualties to the enemy.

However, before Wang Yong, Tie Mian and the others were happy for too long, Wang Yong shouted: "I rely on your uncle." As he spoke, he pulled the somewhat stupid iron mask and beckoned the soldiers beside him to jump from the castle tower to the city wall below.

Just when Wang Yong and Tie Mian reached out flexibly and landed on the city wall first, the stone bullet that had just been fired drew a beautiful arc, just smashed on the top of the city tower, and smashed the wooden city tower after a burst of sawdust flying, the stone bullet with colorful sawdust, with the last trace of strength to roll forward a little and then fell down, smashing the wooden railing on the periphery of the city tower and falling outside the city gate, smashing a pit on the ground.

Everyone present was stunned after seeing this scene, especially the captain in charge of the trebuchet, who looked at the castle tower with the roof overturned for a long time.

Wang Yong patted the dust on his body, pointed to the soldiers who were still stunned, and said, "Why don't you go up and see if anyone is hurt?" Then he came to the city wall, pointed to the captain of the Minotaur who was still stunned not far away, and said angrily: "Damn, you want to murder the lord, you're finished, you're finished." As he spoke, he spat out the sawdust in his mouth.

Tie Mian shook the dust and sawdust on his hat and came to Wang Yong's side, pointed at the Minotaur and gritted his teeth and said, "You guys roll over for me, I'm going to fight you alone." As he spoke, he fiddled with the torn sleeve on his arm with a distressed expression.

The captain of the minotaur in charge of the trebuchet came back to his senses at this time, and saw that Wang Yong was not injured, so he felt a little relieved, but seeing Wang Yong and Tie Mian's angry faces and gritting his teeth, the captain of the minotaur plopped and jumped wildly, shrugged his head, and walked up to the city wall in frustration.

Coming to Wang Yong's side, the captain of the Minotaur stood up and saluted and said, "The seventh captain of the Brave Battle Legion Brave Fighting Wing, Mesfield, reports for duty." ”

Wang Yong pointed to Mesfield's nose and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Hearing this, Mesfield hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and said with a crying voice: "Absolutely not intentionally, I just aimed at the outside of the city, but I didn't expect the trebuchet to be so big, but the strength was so small, and the stone didn't fly far before it fell, this is definitely an accident."
