Chapter 595: It's Coming!
Soon, Lin Ze and the others came to several battlements on both sides of the east gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this area, there are hidden heavy crossbows, as well as stone throwers.
Among them, there are twelve heavy crossbows, which are the best defensive heavy weapons against powerful warriors, and there are also a lot of stone throwers, there are six, which are the best heavy weapons against infantry.
Just in case, these heavy crossbows and stone throwers are hidden in the most difficult places to reach, and many of them are even directly hidden in the hiding cave, anyway, the weight of the heavy crossbow and stone throwing machine is really nothing to the soldiers under Lin Ze.
In the past, Lin Ze had already asked his subordinates to determine the number of battlements on the walls of Black Sand City, how many people were needed for each battlement, how many defensive materials were needed, and how many of them were melee soldiers and long-range attackers........ , etc., these data are calculated one by one.
At this time, on the city walls on both sides of the cave gate, there were already defensive sergeants standing there, and they were also covered with relevant defensive equipment.
Each battlement is responsible for a team of 50 soldiers from each of the two guard guards, and each team is responsible for which battlements and what equipment they have.
At each of the battlements in this area were erected shields of large size, two meters high and one meter wide, and all the shields were made of iron.
The shield is just enough to block the gaps in the battlements, as long as the shield is placed behind the gaps in the battlements, you can firmly block all the gaps, so that the sharp arrows that prevent enemies from outside the city from shooting in are more than enough.
Of course, the weight of these shields is not light, and the weight of each shield is about four or five hundred catties.
This weight is also a great burden for ordinary people on the earth, or ordinary civilians on the Shenzhou Continent, but for quasi-martial artists, or martial artists, it really is nothing.
Quasi-martial artists and martial artists can easily raise such a shield, and in Lin Ze's army, because there are countless elixirs in Lin Ze's plane seed world, his cultivation of the army is also unprecedentedly large.
Now, half of the soldiers in Lin Ze's army have the strength of quasi-martial artists, and in another year and a half, it is not very normal for all of them to advance to the acquired level of martial artists.
As for the source of the shield, hehe, Xiao Quan had prepared a lot before, but when he went to attack Black Sand City this time, he didn't bring it, no, it directly cheapened Lin Ze.
I believe that when Xiao Quan sees these shields, he must be angry in his heart and wants to scold his mother.
There are more than 50 soldiers in charge of the battlements, and there is also a cave on the city wall, which is covered with hard bluestone, which can be used to shelter from wind, rain and sunshine, and can also hide when the enemy launches siege artillery attacks.
In addition, there was a pile of rolling wood and stones beside each of the soldiers on the city wall, and the rolling wood and stones were piled up next to the battlement wall, and a device similar to a small stone throwing machine was erected next to it. It can be used to easily throw stones under the city and smash the enemy troops who ascend the city, and the people next to them can observe the enemy situation from the lookout hole in the battlement wall, which can be used to direct a small stone throwing machine to throw stones.
At some key battlements of the city wall, Lin Ze also ordered people to place some rejection horses.
These horses are made of iron, not only are they of excellent quality, but they are also full of sharp iron barbs, and even the Black Wind Thieves who climb the city wall will cry in front of these iron horses.
Moreover, after the power of the last barbed wire, Lin Ze was also very 'kind' to wrap a lot of barbed wire on these iron horses and nearby.
Lin Ze believed that the warriors of the Black Wind Thieves would definitely be surprised to 'cry bitterly' when they climbed on top of this city wall!
This is not over, after the discussion of other generals in the army, at the gate of the east gate, there are also more than a dozen groups of iron horses, and the surrounding area is also wrapped with barbed wire, so that even if the heavy cavalry and hoplites of the Black Wind Thieves rush in together, facing these horses, barbed wire, plus the blows of those crossbowmen behind.
In that case, the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Black Wind Thieves can be considered good if they are not completely annihilated, as for the breakthrough, hehe, in Lin Ze's opinion, it is absolutely impossible.
In order to increase the lethality, Lin Ze also laid iron horses and barbed wire at the base of the city wall on both sides of the east gate, and on the outside of the city wall ditch, some important positions.
Anyway, Xiao Quan had prepared a lot of iron before, and Lin Ze was not worried at all about making these rejection horses and barbed wire.
Even, in the end, in the end, Lin Ze, just in case, after seeing that there were many iron horses and barbed wire, he directly arranged barbed wire and barbed wires at several other city gates.
In this way, the other gates will be much easier.
After such a 'luxurious' arrangement, in Black Sand City, half of the iron material that Xiao Quan had accumulated before was consumed, and I believe that Xiao Quan would definitely be 'moved' to tears when he knew the news!
After seeing the ordnance and combat readiness on the city wall, Lin Ze led everyone to check the layout of the army on the city wall.
Soon, Lin Ze and the others came to the place where Xu Qiang was defending, and the soldiers under Xu Qiang were sitting in the shadow of the city wall chatting.
It was almost noon, the sun was fierce, and most of the remaining soldiers were hiding under the shadow of the city walls to escape the heat, except for a few soldiers who had to keep an eye out.
Seeing this phenomenon, Lin Ze didn't blame much.
In the military regulations he stipulated, except for some soldiers on duty, the rest of the soldiers could rest, so that the physical strength and combat effectiveness of the army could be better guaranteed, so as not to cause the soldiers to suffer from heat stroke due to the high temperature after the enemy army came, so that they were not in good spirits and were unable to defend the city.
Even in the cool evening, each team takes turns to send people to keep vigil, and the rest can sleep peacefully, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army to the greatest extent.
Of course, all soldiers were not allowed to leave the walls while they were stationed on them.
Those who leave without permission will be dealt with by military law, including the captain.
The sun is very strong today, and this is Black Sand City, and the temperature is extremely high, so these soldiers can't help but hide under the shadow of the city wall to escape the heat, and because of this, in Lin Ze's opinion, it looks a little chaotic.
Xu Qiang has been accompanying Lin Ze all the time, seeing his soldiers so sloppy and listless, his heart burst into flames, and he shouted loudly: "T Mom D lift my spirits, don't want him to sleep here, wait for the Black Wind Thieves to sneak up, even if you don't want to sleep in this life, you can't do it! Look at your current appearance, where is there still the appearance of our soldiers in Huangsha Town, give me his M!"
Xu Qiang said as he moved his hand, oh, no, it should be his feet.
Directly stepped forward and kicked the resting soldier on the ground.
Seeing Lin Ze coming, the soldiers on the ground who were still resting were in awe in their hearts, and immediately got up and saluted Lin Ze with a straight body.
"I've seen Lord Commander!" all the soldiers greeted Lin Ze with great momentum.
"Hello everyone!" Lin Ze also saluted back.
Seeing the full momentum of these soldiers, Lin Ze was very satisfied in his heart.
"This is my soldier!" Lin Ze said secretly in his heart.
At this time, several soldiers asked Lin Ze directly: "Lord Commander, those black wind thieves have been waiting for many days or not." ”
There was no fear at all between the words, as if the Black Wind Thief who had been rampaging on the sandbank for decades before was as ordinary to him as an ordinary person.
Lin Ze smiled, and then asked, "What, it seems that you are very much looking forward to the Black Wind Thieves?"
Then, Lin Ze turned to Xu Qiang and said, "Xu Qiang, it seems that the soldiers are very angry!"
"Hahaha........." Lin Ze's words made the people around him laugh.
At this time, Xu Qiang replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the brothers have long been itching in their hearts, I wish those black wind thieves were coming soon, I'm afraid they won't come, haha........." ”
"Hahaha........!"
Hearing his words, all the soldiers on the city wall also laughed, and there was no fear in their eyes before the big battle.
Lin Ze just wanted to say something, but at this time, suddenly, 'Bang ......', there were several sounds in the east direction, and then Lin Ze and they saw five rockets shot into the sky.
Immediately after, at the end of the horizon, a huge yellow dust appeared.
As soon as they saw this, everyone's faces changed, and they all looked out of the city.
Soon, I saw Yu Guanchun, the captain of the dark sentry team at the east intersection, desperately beating the horses under him, and anxiously rushed back to the gate of the east city gate with several soldiers of the team.
Soon, Yu Guanchun was taken to the city wall, came to Lin Ze's face, and reported to Lin Zeyu breathlessly: "Big ....... , adult, black ....... , the army of Black Wind Thieves is coming, and the number of the vanguard is about two thousand. ”
"About two thousand!"
Lin Ze's face sank, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Order, let all the soldiers prepare for defense!"
"Yes, my lord!" Xu Qiang on the side replied loudly, and then, he quickly went down to make arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qiang entered the city tower at the east gate, and soon, the soldiers set up inside sent out three red signal flares directly into the sky, and erected a large flag with the word forest on the top of the city.
Seeing the bright signal in the sky and the big banner at the head of the city, for a while, the captains and other officers of the various squads guarding the walls of Black Sand City all beat the brass drums and drums in the team, so that the soldiers were immediately on alert and ready for battle.
The soldiers of the various groups defending the city, after hearing these drums, all gathered with serious faces. He took out his weapons from the hidden cave next to him, and then, according to the previous arrangement, lined up in front of the various battlements on the city wall in a small line, and then, raised the weapons in his hands, and prepared for battle with a solemn face.
