Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 421: Trebuchet



The army of the Demon Kingdom gradually approached Blanes. Although it was a city of a marquis, there were not many defense facilities in this city. Nord even saw that some of the walls had been in disrepair. crack.

Because there was no war between the Kingdom of Euler and the Kingdom of Seaman, the civilians and nobles on this land have been at peace for a long time. Even if they participated in the battle, they went to fight with the Kingdom of Sene on the western border line thousands of miles away. , And the towns in the northern part of the Kingdom of Euleruo did not need to be renovated at all.

But it was too late for them to renovate this time. Nord did not give them the time to prepare. It should be understood that renovating the city wall is a very large siege, and the average marquis simply cannot afford this cost. He was recruiting soldiers before. At that time, the repair of the city wall was already on the agenda.

However, in the entire northern part of the Kingdom of Euler, the towns where the walls were renovated are very few. It is not only a financial problem, but also the seriousness of the problems that the nobles and civilians of the Euler Kingdom are aware of after a long time of ease. , Also seriously underestimated the cruelty of war.

Now they can only eat their own bitter fruit. Nord doesn’t even have the mood to prepare the nest cart. No matter how you look at the wall in front of you, it’s vulnerable. Nord found a gap in the wall and used a simple catapult to hit the wall. Throw boulders.

This simple catapult is a siege machine recently invented by the Demon Kingdom. Just like the nest car, this siege machine has long been on the agenda and has been built, but the effect is not very satisfactory and its power is far from satisfactory. Reach the power of the catapult in NORD’s mind.

At the very beginning, a catapult could only throw a 50-kilogram stone to a distance of 50 meters. This distance is too close, and it will not play any role in a siege. Therefore, promise De let these carpenters keep improving, but it was not very effective. It was not until Nord recruited the mathematician from Gowers from the tavern to solve the problem for the carpenters.

Although the structure of the trebuchet is simple, its technical content is not low. The principle of leverage alone drives the carpenters crazy. They know this principle and how to use it, but they don’t understand what the principle is. I don’t know how to play its biggest role.

This is also the main reason for the short range of the catapult attack. After Gowers joined the research on the catapult, the research on the catapult became very rapid. The current catapult can throw a hundred kilograms of boulders to two hundred meters. Outside the wall, the lethality can be said to have doubled.

The most important thing is that the catapult can be easily disassembled and assembled. This allows Nord’s army to carry the catapult at any time. The catapult does not have a bulky body like the nest car, and it has no way to move. Its main body is It’s just a thick wooden stake with elasticity.

Thanks to the convenience of the catapult, the siege methods of the Demon Kingdom have become more complex and diverse. Whether it is a catapult or a nest car, the Demon Kingdom’s siege is very simple. After arriving in Blanes Before, Nord didn’t even need to use the catapult, and the small towns in the Kingdom of Euler were destroyed by Nord.

This battle is the first battle of the catapult. Nord also wants to see how powerful the catapult is. Before the catapult enters the position, Nord has to let the remote troops **** the catapult. The distance of two hundred meters is already It was within the shooting range of the archer of Olilo on the city wall.

First, clear out the archers on the city wall to leave room for the catapult to play. Nord doesn’t want his catapult to turn into a big torch. The lesson taught to the Euler Kingdom last time, Nord doesn’t want it to happen On one’s own body.

The battle of the long-range troops finally suppressed the Orilo archer on the wall with the advantage of the Demon Kingdom. Seeing the precise archery skills of the Orilo archer on the wall, Nord had to be amazed. These Ou The archer of Liluo is no weaker than Nord’s elite archers in archery.

The Demon Kingdom’s long-range troops have the advantage of equipment, and the Oliero Archer has the protection of the city wall. The two sides can be said to be equally matched. Although the Demon Kingdom temporarily gained the upper hand by virtue of its number advantage, it suppressed Oliro. God archer, but the loss is not less than them.

Sure enough, the Euriro archer standing on the wall can display their true strength. Nord did not care too much about the casualties of the troops. After a lot of battles, Nord’s heart gradually hardened. Seeing the deaths of hundreds of people, Nord’s eyes stopped blinking.

This is the inevitability of war. There is no undead in a war. As long as their sacrifice is worthwhile, it may be the reason for the high position. Nord feels that he has become more indifferent. He should have treated these hundreds of people. The regret of death, I don’t know when it has disappeared.

Nord previously believed that he would never become hard-hearted. Nord did not do it. I don’t know when it started. It is difficult for Nord to see the soldiers who died in battle, as if he was innocent and kind. All disappeared.

It may be that Nord has become more ruthless, or it may have been accustomed to seeing the death of soldiers, a sincere heart has long become numb, and Nord’s current affairs are very heavy, and there is a magnificent small goal waiting. He did it, and now Nord doesn’t have so much time to be sentimental.

In Nord’s calm gaze, twenty catapults came to the city and were ready to go. With the commissioning of the army craftsmen, hundreds of catties of boulders were loaded on the catapults, and then they gave an order. The boulder carrying the momentum of thunder fell on the wall of Blanes~www.mtlnovel.com~ The wall of Blanes’s disrepair cannot withstand the impact of the boulder at all. The power of a hundred catties of boulders falling from the sky makes the wall surface. The enemy was stunned. Where did the soldiers of the Euroro Kingdom have seen such a scene? The entire city wall was smashed by huge boulders and splashed. There was no place to hide.

Because even if you can avoid arrows by hiding behind the city wall, these huge stones are useless. After several rounds of attack by the catapult, Blanes’s city walls almost collapsed. It is embedded in the city wall.

Broken arms and limbs can be seen everywhere on the walls, some even unable to escape and were crushed into meat sauce by the boulders falling from the sky. When Nord asked the soldiers to attack the walls, there were no soldiers on the walls of Blanes. .

The Marquis of Harris, who was standing under the wall, had a dull gaze, because a huge boulder flew to the wall due to a problem with its angle, and crushed more than a dozen soldiers in front of him. The huge stone also crushed the resistance of the Marquis of Harris. He didn’t know what kind of enemy the Euler Kingdom had offended.

But Marquis Harris knew that such an enemy was definitely not something he could resist. Marquis Harris looked at the shattered city wall with his sluggish eyes. He was very helpless. The resistance he had imagined for a period of time was just his own wishful thinking. It was not the opponent of the Demon Kingdom, and Blanes City fell before a round of fighting.
