Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 423 Catapult

The army of the Kingdom of Demon is gradually approaching the city of Blanes. Although it is a city of a marquis, there are not many defensive facilities in this city. Nord even saw that some of the city walls have been in disrepair. crack.

Because there was no war between the Kingdom of Orilo and the Kingdom of Seaman before, the civilians and nobles in this land have been at peace for a long time. Even if they participated in the battle, they would go to the western border thousands of miles away to fight against the Kingdom of Sine , and the towns in the northern part of the Kingdom of Olilo do not need to be renovated at all.

But this time it was too late for them to renovate. Nord did not give them time to prepare. You must know that renovating the city wall is a very large siege. The average marquis simply cannot afford this cost. Before recruiting soldiers At that time, repairing the city wall was already on the agenda.

However, there are very few towns in the northern part of the Orilo Kingdom that have renovated their walls, not only because of financial problems, but also after being comfortable for too long, the nobles and commoners of the Orilo Kingdom are aware of the seriousness of the problem. , and seriously underestimated the cruelty of war.

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

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

At the beginning, a catapult could only throw a 50-kilogram stone to a distance of 50 meters. This distance is too short, and it is useless in a siege battle. De let these carpenters keep improving, but it didn't have much effect. It wasn't until Nord recruited the Gowers mathematician from the tavern that he solved the problem for the carpenters.

Although the structure of the trebuchet is simple, its technical content is not low. The single principle of leverage drives those 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 get the most out of it.

This is also the main reason for the short attack distance of the catapult. After Gowers joined the research of the catapult, the research of the catapult became very fast. The current catapult can throw a 100-kilogram boulder to 200 meters The lethality can be said to increase exponentially on the city walls outside.

The most important thing is that the catapult can be easily disassembled and assembled, which allows Nord's army to take the catapult to action at any time. The catapult is not as bulky as the nest car, and there is no way to move it. Its main body is It's just a sturdy 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 vehicle, the siege of the Demon Kingdom has become very simple. After arriving in the city of Blanes Before, Nord didn't even need to use the catapult, and those small towns in the Kingdom of Orilo were broken 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 long-range troops escort the catapult. The distance of two hundred meters is already We are within range of the sharpshooter Olleiro on the city wall.

Clear the archers on the city wall first, so as to leave room for the catapults. Nord does not want his catapults to become big torches one by one. Nord does not want to teach the lesson of the Kingdom of Orillo last time. own body.

In the battle of the long-range troops, the Kingdom of Demon suppressed the Orilo Archer on the city wall by virtue of its superiority in numbers. Seeing the precise archery of the Orilo Archer on the city wall, Nord had to be amazed. Rilo sharpshooters are no weaker than Nord's elite archers in terms of archery.

The long-range troops of the Demon Kingdom have the advantage of equipment, while the Orillo archers are protected by the city wall. The sharp archer, but the loss is not less than them.

Sure enough, the Orilo archers standing on the city wall can show their true strength. Nord didn't care too much about the casualties of the troops. After many battles, Nord's heart gradually hardened. Nord's eyes stopped blinking at the sight of hundreds of deaths.

This is the inevitability of war. There are no immortals in war. As long as their sacrifices are valuable, it may be due to the high position and weight. Nord feels that he has become more indifferent. He should have treated these hundreds of people. The pity of death, I don't know when it has disappeared.

Nord believed that he would never become hard-hearted before. Nord did not do it. I don’t know when it started. Nord looked at the soldiers who died in battle, and it was difficult to make waves in his heart. All disappeared.

It may be that Nord has become more ruthless, or it may be that he is used to seeing the death of soldiers. A sincere heart has already become numb, and Nord's affairs are very heavy now, and there is a grand small goal waiting for him He realizes that Nord doesn't have so much time for sentimentality now.

In Nord's calm eyes, twenty catapults came to the city and were ready to go. With the debugging of the artisans accompanying the army, one hundred catties of boulders were loaded onto the catapults, and then with an order, The boulder fell to the city wall of Blanes with the force of thunder.

The city wall of Blanes, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could not withstand the impact of the boulder at all. The power of the 100-jin boulder falling from the sky stunned the enemies on the wall. Where have these soldiers of the Kingdom of Orilo seen such a scene? The entire city wall was covered by the boulder The smashed pits and gravel splashed, and there was no place to hide at all.

Because even if you can avoid the arrows by hiding behind the city wall, it is useless to huge stones. Under several rounds of attacks by catapults, the city walls of Blanes almost collapsed, and the huge stones are like It is embedded in the city wall.

Broken arms and stumps can be seen everywhere on the city wall, and some of them could not even escape and were crushed into meat paste by the boulders falling from the sky. When Nord asked the soldiers to attack the city wall, there were no soldiers on the city wall of Blanes. .

Marquis Harris, who was standing under the city wall, had a dull gaze, because a boulder flew to the wall because of the angle, and crushed a dozen soldiers in front of him. The boulder also crushed Marquis Harris' will to resist. He didn't know what kind of enemy the Olilo Kingdom had offended.

But Marquis Harris understood that such an enemy was definitely not something he could resist. Marquis Harris looked at the shattered city wall with dull eyes, and he felt very helpless in his heart. It was not the opponent of the Kingdom of Demon, and the city of Blanes fell before a round of fighting.
