Chapter 716

"Countdown starts, last debugging, ready for projection!"

Cried the determined little wizard.

In the camp beside the river bank, hundreds of engineers are busy around one projection weapon after another; Alchemists from the red blood Castle wizard association are assisting them in completing the final inspection.

In the crowded positions, almost every catapult and crossbow were surrounded by at least one hundred soldiers - not counting the number of square infantry responsible for protecting them.

Master Halin van achmai, standing on the side of the black haired wizard, cast curious eyes and watched the engineers and auxiliary soldiers operate these "large toys" in an orderly manner.

Twenty people in the first team are responsible for stabilizing the support and repairing the gap, and pulling the projection equipment to the designated position with pack horses and livestock;

Thirty five people in the second team operate the projection device, rotate the chassis and elevation turntable, align the projection target with the designated target, and calculate the error range;

Twenty five members of the third team served as ammunition men, loaded heavy crossbows, stone guns and fire oil tanks at the fastest speed as required, and replaced on site as needed;

This is just the most common siege crossbow, and the number of people operated by the catapult on one side will even double... But master asamai's attention is not on these engineers, but on the weapon itself.

"Torsion device, dial, elevation dial, projection ruler... All are masterpieces of furnace academy and top equipment only seen in the imperial Legion." a flash of amazement flashed from the corner of his eye, and master asamai looked at the little wizard in disbelief:

"Lord ayin Rand, have you been to duanjie mountain fortress?"

"Alas?"

AI Yin, who was suddenly asked, was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "well... Once, I helped the alchemist there."

Master asamai silently nodded and smiled. Just looking at Ayn's expression, he knew that it was definitely not "some little busy" - otherwise, how could sakran wizards, who have always been xenophobic, easily take out such important military equipment?

"Master asamai, do you know these projection weapons well?"

The black haired wizard asked without looking back. He looked at the battlefield under the thousand tent city in the distance with dignified eyes.

"How many alchemists are not interested in these? Duke." Halin van achmai asked, "it is these technologies that enable wizards to have a place in the former cabinet of the heavenly palace."

"What's more, what these seemingly 'bulky' weapons mark is our future."

"The future?" the black haired wizard raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, as long as our alchemists continue to study, these projection weapons will become more sophisticated, cheaper and convenient."

Halin van achmai's expression was very serious, and his deep eyes glanced at the Byrne Knights fighting with the Centaurs on the Bank of the river:

"One day, we can let the soldiers hold these weapons in their hands, stand 300 steps away and instantly launch dozens of hundreds of crossbows and arrows that can pierce the armor."

"I can foresee that this weapon will eventually turn swords into dispensable things, exquisite armor into ornaments, and all wars into a cruel competition to compare each other and see who kills each other faster from 300 steps away."

"Knead the glory into waste paper, make the war rigid and rigid, and turn the courage of all soldiers into jokes 300 steps away - calm killing will replace bloody hand to hand combat."

Harlem van achamay, who was in a low voice, was suddenly stunned, shook his head and hissed: "of course, at present, this is just my imagination."

"You, who command the strongest heavy cavalry in the world and inherit the great cause of the black Duke, probably won't believe these nonsense."

Lauren frowned slightly, hesitated and didn't answer him.

On the contrary... I have no doubt about it.

If it were not limited to the upper limit of baggage, Loren would have planned to increase the number of weapons projected in the army... But unfortunately, not to mention qualified engineers, even qualified crossbow men can gather enough of a square array.

The development of metallurgical technology makes the projection weapons in Bain a short board, because ordinary crossbows and arrows can't shoot through the Bain's armor at 50 steps... If the bain rush to 50 steps, the enemy's Crossbow men have only two choices, either escape or surrender.

With a disturbing vibration and the noise of the machine including gears, the engineers have completed the commissioning of all the catapults and catapults.

Looking back, Loren raised his mouth and pretended to look at the little wizard with ease: "how, do you have confidence?"

The stubborn Ayn snorted, disdaining to answer such knowingly asked questions.

"Very good, then give our old friend chakar of ChiYan flag a little surprise." Lauren smiled and showed some killing intention in his dark pupils: "let him see the past and future, and where is the real gap between civilization and barbarism."

Nodding hard, the little wizard stared round his nervous eyes and shouted:

"Launch --!"

……………………………………

The burning stone cannon dragged the golden red tail, like a meteor, sent out the roar of tearing the air, and fell from the sky into the Centaur army attacking the city.

"Boom --!!"

The deafening explosion sounded, and chakar looked extremely shocked and stared at the "fireball" that fell steadily in front of the city wall.

The earth trembled, and the golden red flame rolled up its tongue with a shrill scream; Among the splashing blood, the limbs smashed by stone cannons could be seen falling from the air.

The stunned chakar couldn't believe his eyes.

His army also has these heavy "toys", but none of them can throw stones so far and so accurately... 500 steps away, they can fall steadily outside the city wall, which is still the most densely besieged place!

Is this... Is this a coincidence?!

Soon, he knew.

The next second, countless fire arrows and stone cannons soared into the sky, dyeing the dome dazzling golden red; Before the Centaur army under the city could marvel, these gorgeous "meteors" fell on their heads like a storm.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The loud noise of the shaking earth appears one after another, which sounds like the whole world is going to be subverted.

Under the shining light of fire, the siege army was like a tide, constantly setting off sad and tragic wails and blood red waves; The roar filled in his ears made chakal completely stunned in situ, numb as a chicken!

He looked at it in such a daze, watching his opponent, who was regarded as a mortal enemy, slaughtered his followers accurately and quickly 500 steps away in a way he had never heard of.

Those brave four hoofed warriors, even many of them can fight ten warriors with one enemy, even before they even see what the enemy looks like and where to attack, they died in the hands of this terrible "toy"!

Chakar's cheeks trembled with twisting as he breathed heavily.

At that moment, he understood - yes, the devil knew that he wanted to tear open the blockade of the besieged city. His troops were not enough. All he could do was deter and attract attention.

Cavalry and infantry are just bait to attract their attention. The real cards are the river in front of them and his catapult!

As long as his army didn't cross the river, as long as his catapult had ammunition and arrows, he could slaughter his troops from the other side of the river indefinitely until the morale of the four hoofed warriors of the two flags collapsed.

Before his ammunition ran out, the morale of his followers must have collapsed!

As for crossing the river, encirclement and suppression... If there are too few troops, he will become basaye's second; There are too many troops... Not to mention the risk of being attacked by half crossing, I must first withdraw the troops of the besieged city, so as to have enough strength to tear open his defense line and smash his "toys".

But in this way, his goal of rescuing Qianzhang city was achieved.

wait!

Chakar was suddenly stunned. He just thought of a very terrible fact.

If the other party can hit the city gate at a distance of 500 steps, can it also

"Boom --!"

Terrified, chakar suddenly turned back and watched a centaur catapult hundreds of steps away explode in the fire, splashing countless sparks.
