In a hidden place on the left side of the city gate tower, there are more than a dozen small stone throwing machine Buddhas, all of which have now been deployed, and the artillery around them is also ready at this time, waiting for Lin Ze's order to shoot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This small troop of catapults is commanded by an officer.

He saw the banner on the city tower, and immediately waved the command flag in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Direction XXX, open the cannon!"

"Direction XXX, fire!"

There are five gunners next to each small catapult, and the handling of the catapult is so complicated that there are not so many people who can't handle it at all.

And that's just small stone throwers, and those large ones even require a dozen people to operate.

The gunners of these catapults have been trained many times before, that is, they have been tested many times in live ammunition operation, plus some modern knowledge of operating artillery fire taught to them by Lin Ze, such as parabola, and even superficial knowledge such as ballistics, Lin Ze also taught them.

It is also for this reason that the gunners in the catapult unit are all high-level intellectuals, the lowest are born as children, and more than half are born as shows.

Fortunately, this is in the Shenzhou Continent, in the Chu State, the status of the literati here is not high, and the status of the warriors is lower, so the talent here can be recruited by Lin Ze as a gunner.

If you change to ancient China, hehe, what do you want Xiucai to be a gunner, hehe, don't daydream!

Because they had been operated with live ammunition several times before, these gunners were already proficient, and at this time they had already loaded their ammunition, and when they heard the commander's order, a gunner next to each catapult directly picked up the big knife in his hand and slashed hard, cutting the rope of the trebuch.

"........Boom, boom, boom!" A dozen voices rang out, and more than a dozen small stone throwers opened fire one after another.

"Woo woo woo .........!" A dozen stone bullets flew quickly towards the shield cart by the moat with a powerful momentum, and all the soldiers on the city wall, including Lin Ze and them, looked at the projectiles shot by the dozen or so small stone throwers at this time.

More than a dozen stone bullets, with an indomitable momentum, flew fiercely in the direction of the Black Wind Thieves by the moat.

"Run for your life!"

"Stone thrower!"

Countless Black Wind Thieves shouted loudly, and they also found more than a dozen stone bullets above their heads, as soon as they saw these stone bullets flying towards them, many Black Wind Thieves instantly wanted to turn around and flee backwards, which also caused many shield carts to stop directly.

"........Boom!", and a stone projectile hit a shield cart from afar, tearing the shield cart apart and sending sawdust flying.

Some of the black wind thieves behind the shield cart saw that the stone bullet was about to hit the shield cart in front of them, and they were already frightened and ran away.

"Ahhh.......h There was even an armorless Black Wind Thief Cartridge Rider, whose body and face were full of sharp wooden thorns, and his body was covered in blood, and now he had fallen to the ground with a pale face.

Two other Black Wind Thieves were even more unlucky, and when they fled, the route was exactly in the direction of the stone bullet rolling road.

The consequences of this are clear when you think about it.

After the stone bullet shattered the shield car, the remaining potential energy directly rolled forward with it, directly hitting the two unlucky Black Wind Thieves.

"Ahh.......h

A curious black wind thief looked there, only to see that the two black wind thieves on the ground were now dead, and a large transparent hole appeared in the middle of their body, which was obviously caused by the stone bullet just now.

This is not over, after killing two more Black Wind Thieves, this stone bullet rolled forward for some distance, and within this short distance, at least three or four Black Wind Thieves in the vicinity were killed.

One stone bullet caused such a big result, and this time more than a dozen stone bullets attacked, the result of these black wind thieves can be imagined!

"Good ..........!"

There was a thunderous roar of joy above the city, and Lin Hu on the side slapped the city wall heavily and shouted: "Well fought, really fucking well! This wave of attacks killed at least thirty or forty Black Wind Thieves and destroyed seven or eight shield carts, so powerful!"

Lin Ze also nodded with a satisfied smile at this time, these gunners did not live up to their careful training, and in the first actual battle, they fought accurately and ruthlessly, directly hitting their own military morale and seriously dampening the enemy's morale!

Soon, the second round of the offensive began again.

"Uh-woo-woo-.......!"

"Bang bang bang .......!" another dozen stone projectiles were fired.

It's a pity that this round of stone bullet attacks did not have as rich results as the first attack, and the prepared Black Wind Thieves began to dodge the stone bullets in the air under the orders of the leaders after seeing the stone bullets coming again.

Of the dozen or so stone bullets, only half hit, and the rest did not hit and were dodged.

However, even so, the power of the stone bullet was greatly exerted.

The shield cart dodged the attack of the stone bullets, but the large number of Black Wind Bandit infantry following behind the shield cart were not so easy to dodge, and the dodged stone bullets hit the ground directly, and jumped a few times, smashing the wheels of several wheelbarrows that followed behind from a distance.

This was not the end, the stone bullets were still in full swing, and they jumped a few more times, slamming heavily on the heads of some of the Black Wind Thieves who were closely following behind.

"Poof......" A sound similar to the smashing of watermelons sounded, and these stone bullets were directly embedded in the chest or head of the Black Wind Thief, and blood, organs, and brains flowed all over the ground.........

"Reload!"

The officer of the trebuchet unit at the head of the city saw this result from afar, and was very dissatisfied in his heart, and loudly ordered the gunners to reload.

In the trebuchet unit formed by Lin Ze, there were a total of two gunners, a strong unloading and loader, an aimingman, and a gunner, a total of five people, and a captain leading a team of pikemen or sword and shield soldiers to escort him.

Hearing the officer's order, the unloaders of several small stone throwing machines immediately carried the stone bullets on the ground as fast as they could, and loaded them directly on the stone throwing machine.

A stone thrower is a gravitational launch using a counterweight. Appeared in the early Middle Ages and was used until the fifteenth century, mainly for sieges and defense of fortresses.

There is a fixed transverse axis between the two pillars of the frame of the stone throwing machine, and there is a lever perpendicular to the axis, which can rotate freely around the axis. A weight is attached to the short arm of the lever, and a pouch (a sleeve similar to a catapult belt) at the end of the long arm is used for loading.

When firing, the long arm is pulled back almost horizontally with a winch, and when it is suddenly released, the stone bag is quickly raised. When the short-arm hammer falls completely, the projectile flies out of the cartridge at an angle of about 45 degrees. The range of a 30-kilogram stone projectile is about 140-210 meters, and that of a 100-kilogram stone projectile is about 40-70 meters.

This is the data of the stone thrower on the earth, on the Shenzhou continent, because the material of the rope of the stone thrower's winch is the tendon of the brute beast, the strength is much stronger than the general rope, so the range of the stone thrower here is much farther than that on the earth, and it generally has a range of three or four hundred meters.

Large catapults have a longer range, thousands of meters, and it is not a problem.

After the unloader lifted the stone bullet on one side, he put it directly in the bullet bag of the stone throwing machine, and at this time, the person in charge of the winch had just put the winch in place, and at the same time, the aiming hand began to reset the stone throwing machine.

These small stone throwers on the city wall are not fixed to the city wall in order to facilitate rapid movement, so after an attack, the bearing will be somewhat offset.

Soon, the small stone thrower was reset.

These catapults have scales on them, and the aiming hand can adjust the angle of attack on the catapult as long as they follow these scales.

At this time, the Black Wind Thief under the city wall was already moving rapidly, and after the loader placed the stone projectile, the aiming hand next to him immediately aimed at the crosshair and the door equipped on the stone thrower.

Attacking moving targets requires a pre-output, but fortunately, Lin Ze taught them Arabic numerals and arithmetic before, so these sighters quickly calculated these pre-outputs.

Soon, a red flag was raised on each stone throwing machine position.

This is telling the team officer that they are ready to aim and ready to fire.

The officer of the catapult team looked at the dozen or so small red flags around him, he did not hesitate, directly waved the order flag in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fire!"

Hearing the officer's order, the gunner of each stone thrower immediately raised the big knife in his hand and directly cut the rope on the stone thrower.

"Woowoo ........!"

More than a dozen stone throwers fired one after another.

"Bang bang bang ........!" a dozen stone projectiles hit the fast-moving shield carts below.

After the aiming hand wakes up the calculation of the advance amount, the hit rate of the stone thrower is significantly improved.

And at this time, I saw countless screams coming from the moat under the city.

"Ahh.......hh.......h

This was a stone bullet that directly hit the shield car where he was, and before that, this leader had been directing the shield car to move quickly, and he didn't realize that the stone throwing machine troops on the city wall had calculated the amount in advance, and the shield car he commanded happened to meet the stone projectile.........
