Chapter 527: Before the War

Chris and Mu Sen adjusted the trebuchet, their mouths were not idle, and they said to Wang Yong without looking back: "If you debug these trebuchets well, I think our city wall should also be destroyed by you." ”

Wang Yong approached Chris and Mu Sen, watched with curiosity as the two of them carved scales on the trebuchet, and asked curiously, "What are you carving these for? Have you ever fiddled with trebuchets before?"

Mu Sen glanced at Wang Yong, and then said, "When I first became a soldier, I was in charge of trebuchets, and I am familiar with this kind of trebuchet. After Chris and Musen had carved all the trebuchets on the scales, they called all the soldiers in charge of the trebuchets and began to explain to the stupid big men how to adjust the angle of the trebuchet and the range of the various angles.

Wang Yong and Tie Mian were also like elementary school students, standing among the soldiers and listening carefully, and raising their hands to ask questions when they didn't understand, which fully satisfied Mu Sen and Chris's vanity.

After each trebuchet successfully fired a few stone projectiles, the trebuchet was fixed in place, and Mu Sen asked the soldier in charge of the trebuchet to memorize these scales, and when the enemy attacked, he adjusted the distance between these scales.

In fact, trebuchets have more shooting angles, and the direction and angle can be adjusted at any time according to the distance and density of the enemy, but that requires long-term training of professional trebuchet operators can be flexibly mastered, and these soldiers who have just come into contact with trebuchets can't do it at all, so Mu Sen and Chris can only give up the flexibility of trebuchets and most of the shooting angles, and use them as fixed turrets, which is also a way out.

After dealing with the trebuchet, Wang Yong took Mu Sen and Chris and others to step on the leaky city tower, Chris looked around and teased: "Yes, now the vision is wider." ”

Wang Yong shrugged. Chris picked up the monocular and looked at the enemy camp, and then said to Wang Yong, "Boss, let's get ready for dinner." ”

Wang Yong was stunned when he heard this. Then he realized something, and asked, "What? Are they going to attack?"

Chris handed the lookout goggles to Wang Yong and said, "Look, they have prepared a lot of ladders to attack the wall, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will attack." Through the lookout glass, Wang Yong saw that the enemy's logistics soldiers were pulling a cart of long tree trunks back to the barracks, and at the front of the enemy's barracks there were at least fifty long wooden ladders.

Wang Yong put down the lookout glasses, handed them to the scouts around him who were in charge of monitoring the movements of the enemy army, and then said to Mu Sen, who was looking at him: "Brother Mu Sen, you are the commander of the Brave Battle Legion. It's up to you to give the order. ”

Mu Sen smiled slightly, nodded and instructed the heralds around him, let the soldiers start preparing dinner, and ordered the reserve of jerky and other meat to be distributed to everyone to improve the food, because this meal will be the last meal for many people, and Mu Sen also tried his best to let everyone have a good meal.

When the smoke rose from the Dragon Pass, Commander Hutt, who was observing the Dragon Pass from outside the big tent, put down the lookout glasses in his hand, frowned and said to himself, "These rabbles are not all idiots. ”

Hurt turned around and walked to his tent and instructed the herald beside him, "Tell the herald to go down and start preparing dinner." Don't skimp on food, let the soldiers all be fed. Then tell them that we have no extra food, if we can't capture the Shenlong Pass today. Everyone has to starve to death, and if you don't want to die, you can rush in with my life. The herald saluted, repeated Hutt's order, and turned to leave.

The other two senior officers who followed Hurt's side looked at each other, one of them in his forties. The middle-aged officer with a resolute face said, "My lord, is there really no food left? If we don't capture the Shenlong Pass, then we won't have a way to retreat. ”

Hutt entered the tent, sat down on the throne, took a sip of the water cup, and said, "This is the way it is, so that the soldiers can go forward." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged officer was about to open his mouth to persuade, Hurt smiled slightly and said, "Monroe, I know that you are more cautious, but sometimes if you are impulsive, you will have unexpected gains." ”

Seeing that Monroe nodded and stopped talking, Hurt continued: "Also, I have already thought about it, when we attack later, let the more than 10,000 deserters go first, and let them dull the enemy's weapons, so that our soldiers will die a lot less." Also, there is no if, we must capture the Shenlong Pass, otherwise even if we still control the grain and grass today, it will not be enough for us to cross the forest and return to Barun Province. ”

Seeing that the two cronies no longer spoke, Hutt ordered: "In a while, the Eagle will pass the message again, inform the Newman commander of our situation here, and ask him to capture the West Asia Province as soon as possible, and then come to the Shenlong Pass to join us." The two officers saluted and turned to leave the tent to prepare for the assault.

In fact, Hurt is not very worried about his own safety, as a middle-level knight, he is confident that he will take a small number of followers to climb over the blocked Hengshan Gorge or through the continuous jungle, even if he really does not capture the Shenlong Pass, the big deal is to sacrifice most of the soldiers, he can or return to the empire, and when the time comes, there will be Isaac and Jasparen personal fault first, and he will be cut off from the military at most.

Time passed little by little, Wang Yong and others gathered on the ruined city tower, each holding a big bowl, squatting on the ground and sucking the hot shredded meat noodles with a happy face. Niu Da and the others were even holding the rice bucket, sweating profusely from eating, and seeing Lan Xi, who was in charge of managing logistics, felt a pain in his flesh. Just now, Lanxi, who received the order, transported almost all the high-quality wheat flour in the territory, which can be regarded as satisfying the food needs of the army of Yongzhan mainly composed of big-stomached minotaurs.

Seeing all the soldiers sucking on the slippery noodles with a satisfied face, Lan Xi's heart was very complicated, and he felt that it was natural to let these soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield to eat a good meal, but as the logistics director, he knew that the family background of the territory was not thick, according to this way of eating, to feed this legion for half a year, he would have to consume half of the food, and there were still 200,000 people in the territory to feed.

Wang Yong drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, patted his swollen stomach with satisfaction, and handed the rice bowl to Mu Sen's guards after a comfortable burp, then clapped his hands and said, "Everyone come here, I will assign the next task." (To be continued......)
