Zhan Yue

late at night.

The Flowing Fire Corps entered the position, 50,000 people lined up, full of momentum, while the Yanshen Corps and the Silver Screen Corps on the right were divided into front and rear sequences, together guarding the northern strategic point of Fenglaicheng. In the middle of the night, the sound of horseshoes and the sergeant’s The screams were continuous, and anyone could feel the suffocating aura of the onset of the war.

In the distance, a large number of Mo Lin knights have appeared in the jungle north of Fenglai City. They are gathering. It seems that there is no sign of attacking. Most of them have to wait for dawn. If you want to come to Mo Lin knights, the night combat ability should not be too strong. , Or Stuurem the Indestructible wants to defeat the last main force of the bright camp in the daytime.

Riding on Wuqizhi, I walked in the sequence of the Liuhuo Corps. When I came to the camp with Zhang Lingyue and Chai Lu, I saw a series of heavy artillery and bed crossbows on standby. In addition, there was another one. Rows of ballistic cannons. The principle of these ballistic cannons is similar to that of crossbow arrows. The rounder stones are placed in the arrow slot and ejected with a thick and long bowstring. Generally speaking, they are thrown diagonally to the sky and the boulders are thrown into the sky. Enemy formations to obtain a certain killing effect.

However, the attack effect of ballistas is much worse than that of heavy artillery and bed crossbows.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Zhang Lingyue saw me staring at the stone cannon in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "This... stone cannon, is there any problem?"

"a little bit."

I lightly patted the cold wood of the stone ballista and asked: "Zhang Lingyue, if the stone ballista is flattened and fired, how far can it hit?"

"Is it leveled?"

Zhang Lingyue smiled slightly: "Just give it a try and you'll know it. Come here, let it go, let's take a test shot of a stone cannon."

"Yes, my lord!"

Three soldiers operated, two of them pulled the bowstrings, one of them filled the stone in the slot, and then adjusted the direction. Then the entire ballista was flattened and aimed at an open space on the left. With a "puff" sound, the force was beyond strength. To my surprise, this huge rock flew out nearly fifty meters flat before it rolled onto the grass.

"So..."

I looked at the ballista, walked forward, and looked at the fine scale on it. I realized that the scale was also a 360-degree scale, so I gently adjusted the firing direction of the ballista to 15 degrees above the horizontal. Location, said: "Come and show me again."

"Yes!"

This time, the stone cannon flew nearly 100 meters out of the ground with a "swish", but the height of the front of the flight was slightly higher, about three meters, and it didn't re-enter 0-2 meters until the position of 40-100 meters. The height above the ground, in other words, is the real kill range.

"My lord, what are you...what are you going to do?"

Zhang Lingyue was at a loss.

"Flame Sting Demon."

I turned to look at him, and said, "Zhang Lingyue, do you know such creatures as flame stingers?"

"Who wouldn't know?"

Zhang Lingyue's face changed slightly, and said, "Didn't the Yanmen Pass and Huoling County be captured by the alien demon army because of the attack of the Flame Sting Demon? But sir, what is the relationship between this Flame Sting Demon and the stone cannon?"

I groaned and looked at the crossbow stone cannon, and said: "The most terrifying thing about the flame thorn is that it explodes. The power of their self-detonation is too strong. The city defense can't stop it, and the effect of the flame thorn demon is similar. , Once it explodes, even our iron step camp will definitely not be able to stop the terrible explosive power, but... I have studied some flame stingers, they will immediately explode when they are hit by heavy objects, I think, crossbow The weight and speed of the stone cannon should be enough to cause this kind of self-detonation."

How clever Zhang Lingyue is: "I know your lord, you are going to use a ballista to deal with the flame thorn demon, right?"

"Yes it is."

I gently stroked the cold stand of the crossbow stone cannon, and smiled: "This kind of shattered thing, the empire is about to abandon it, a tool that is about to be eliminated by the times, this time may be able to tie our busy, Zhang Lingyue, How many ballistas do we have in total?"

"amount……"

He thought for a while, and said: "These ballistas were delivered to us by the quartermaster directly from the material depot when we passed through the Northern Barrens Province. They said that these heavy and worn-out things would only produce moths if they were left alone. Pull all of them to the Floating Fire Corps, and then it’s up to us whether to use them or chop wood to burn them for warmth. Therefore, the subordinates carefully selected a total of 3,000 ballistas, all of which are here."

"So..."

I frowned: "Fenglai City has a very sufficient material warehouse, and there should be some. You can apply for it. It doesn't matter how much you can get."

"what?"

Zhang Lingyue was taken aback for a moment: "The subordinate is just a deputy commander, and he hasn't had the right to apply for wartime supplies. Please don't embarrass me, my lord."

"Don't worry, since it's something no one wants, you just have to speak, and I believe the quartermaster will definitely not embarrass you."

"Well, subordinates and try it."

...

The more Zhang Ling left, I immediately turned to look at the veteran Chai Lu, and said, "Chai Lu is in control."

"My lord, the veteran is here!"

Chai Lu immediately clasped his fists solemnly, waiting for orders.

I touched the stone cannons placed on the wooden cart aside. Each of these stones is about the size of a basketball. The whole is round, but it is not particularly rounded. It was just a little bit chiseled, and the edges were jagged, but maybe so. In order to exert the maximum lethality, he said to Chai Lu: "Look for stones like stone cannons from the surrounding mountains, and then give me the cannonballs needed to make stone cannons. The more the better."

"what?"

Chai Lu was taken aback: "But my lord, these stone axe chisels need masons. Although there are many mason-born brothers in the Flowing Fire Corps, we don't even have a hammer, so we can't make axe chisels at all!"

"Then mobilize masons directly from Fenglaicheng, hurry up, work overnight, count as much as you can make, tell you, don't slack off, these stones are related to the life and death of our Brothers in the Fire Corps!"

"Yes, the subordinate understands!"

Although Shii Lu was unclear, but he did what I said. After all, after the battles, my torpedo tactics were originally unknown to everyone during the Battle of the Northern Wilderness, but they proved effective. , This time too, the Flowing Fire Legion wanted to resist the flame thorn demon's self-detonation tactics, and could only rely on this ballista.

...

Soon after, Zhang Ling returned with an excited look on his face, and said with a smile: "My lord, it’s a clever calculation. When I spoke, the quartermaster of the material depot actually gave us five thousand just a few words. We gave us a lot of stones for the crossbow cannons that were rushed out, saying that these materials were not wanted by the other legions. Since the Flowing Fire Corps sent people to receive them, they gave them to us."

"Hahahaha, God helps me too..."

I smiled and said: "Zhang Lingyue, all these ballista positions are advancing forward, and they are arranged just after the first line of defense of the Iron Step Camp and the Shengong Camp. The firepower of the ballistas must be maintained to cover the entire flow of fire regiments. Position, in addition, you should tell all the soldiers who operate the ballista, that when the ballista launches calibration, the level is 15 degrees upwards, and the effective killing distance is 40-100 meters. It must be controlled. Once the ballista launches an attack, then Everyone in the front line of defense kneeled down to defend, to avoid being affected by the ballista."

"Yes, the subordinate understands!"

Zhang Ling became more excited, lowered his voice and laughed: "My lord, I heard that the Flame God Legion and the Knights Templar suffered a big loss under the hands of the Flame Sting Demon, and even formed a camp of dead men to deal with the Flame Sting Demon. This time, will it be? We Floating Fire Legion teach them how to fight the flame stabbing battle?"

"maybe."

I smiled slightly: "Hurry up and prepare, and if necessary, our Floating Army will also prepare a dead soldier camp. It has been needed from time to time."

"Don't worry, sir, when our brother needs it, everyone can die. Before the expedition, everyone has already expressed their attitude."

"That's good."

After a while, Chai Lu returned with thousands of stonemasons, so the sound of "ding ding dang dang" axe chiseling stones soon came from the position of the Frost Fire Corps, colliding with the armors and blades of the other legions actively preparing for battle. The sound seemed a bit out of place.

...

"Fengxiang patrols the position!"

In the distance, someone shouted suddenly, and then, Gao Guanbo, a bookish white-clothed Qing, rode a white horse, surrounded by a group of warriors, patrolling the front line positions, one by one, they passed the Yinping Army, Yunxi Army, The position of the Flame God Legion had a smile in his eyes, but when he came to the position of the Flowing Fire Legion, he heard the "ding and clanging" of the masons in his ears. He couldn't help but "Oh", but he didn't know it was. Surprised or suddenly realized.

"The wind is coming!"

A group of people reminded each other that even the masons stopped their work.

"Don't stop, go on!"

I rode on Wu Hachi, waved my hand directly, and ordered the masons to continue to work, while Shii Lu was holding the saber and said in a low voice: "Keep on working, hurry!"

Looking at the scene of the masons working under the dim bonfire glow, accompanied by the sparks that were rubbed by the hammer, chisel and the rock, the wind slowly restrained the horse, and said with a smile: "Ah...this?"

I stepped up and said respectfully: "See the wind."

"Ok."

The wind blows his sleeves, and he smiles: "The commander does not need to be formal, then... the other legions are actively preparing for war, preparing equipment, weapons, and grain ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Master Liuhuo in July is here... Shi, may I ask, why is this?"

I reached out and pointed to the neat rows of ballistas in the distance, and said, "I'm ordering people to make the materials for the ballistas."

"Ballista?"

Feng did not hesitate a glance, and smiled: "This kind of antique that no one uses, I didn't expect that it would be added by the bluish eyes of the July Flowing Fire. This is really...unexpected."

I smiled awkwardly: "There is no way. I have seen the unbreakable legion's powerful people. With a regular array of tactics, we may not have any chance of winning in the Flowing Fire Legion. We can only think of other ways. The sword has gone slant."

"Ok."

Without hearing the wind and not intervening, he rode his horse and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty is not so blue-eyed for you, let's do it!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of the wind, I slowly clasped my fists: "Thank you Fengxiang!"
