Alien Lord

In a hidden place on the left side of the city gate, there are more than a dozen small catapults erected, all of which have been deployed now, and the artillery around them is also ready at this time, waiting for Lin Ze's order to shoot. [No Pop-Up Novel Network].

This small trebuchet unit is commanded by a team officer.

When he saw the flag on the tower, he immediately waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Bearing xxx, fire!"

"Azimuth xxx, fire!"

There are five gunners next to each small trebuchet. The operation of the trebuchet is very complicated, and there are not so many people who can't control it at all.

This is just a small trebuchet, and those large trebuchets even require a dozen people to operate.

The gunners of these trebuchets have been trained many times before, that is, live ammunition operations have been tested many times, and Professor Lin Ze has given them some modern knowledge of artillery operations, such as parabolas and even ballistics. Lin Ze also taught them the superficial knowledge of human beings.

It is also for this reason that the gunners in the trebuchet army are all high-level intellectuals, at least they were born as children, and more than half of them were born as scholars.

Fortunately, this is in the mainland of China. In the state of Chu, the status of literati here is not high, even lower than that of warriors. Therefore, the scholars here can be recruited by Lin Ze as gunners.

If it was changed to ancient China, hehe, what kind of gunner do you want a scholar to be, hehe, stop daydreaming!

Because they have manipulated live ammunition several times before, these gunners are already familiar with it. At this time, they have already loaded the ammunition. When they heard the command from the officer, a gunner next to each catapult immediately picked up the big knife in his hand. , with a hard chop, cut off the rope of the trebuchet.

"Fufurfur...!" More than a dozen voices sounded, and more than a dozen small catapults fired one after another.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuu......!" A dozen stone bullets flew towards the shield chariot by the moat with a powerful momentum. Looking at the projectiles fired by the dozen or so small trebuchets.

More than a dozen stone bullets, with an indomitable momentum, flew fiercely in the direction of Heifeng Pirates by the moat.

"Run for your life!"

"Trebuchet!"

Countless Black Wind Pirates shouted loudly, and they also found more than a dozen stone bullets above their heads. When they saw these stone bullets flying towards them,

Many black wind bandits wanted to turn around and run away in an instant, which also caused many shield vehicles to stop directly.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a stone bullet hit a shield car from a distance, causing the shield car to be torn apart and sawdust flying everywhere.

Some black wind bandits behind the shield car saw that the stone bullet was about to hit the shield car in front of them, they were already scared and ran away.

"Ahhh......!" Countless screams sounded, and the countless fragments that the stone bullet caused when it penetrated the shield car killed several Black Wind Bandits in the distance. . There was even an unarmored black wind thief pusher, his face was covered with sharp wooden thorns, blood was dripping all over his body, and now he was lying on the ground with a pale face. It can be seen that his chest is coming out more and breathing in less It looks like, obviously, it's not enough anymore.

There were also two black wind bandits who were even more unlucky. When they fled, their route was facing the direction where the stone bullets rolled.

What kind of consequences this will have, it is clear to think about it.

After the stone bullet shattered the shield car, the remaining potential energy directly carried it forward and rolled forward, directly hitting the two unlucky black wind robbers.

"Ahh...!" Two extremely shrill screams sounded, but they disappeared quickly.

A curious Black Wind Bandit looked there, and saw that the two Black Wind Bandits on the ground were dead now, and a large transparent hole appeared in the middle of their bodies. Obviously, it was caused by the stone bomb just now.

This is not over yet. After killing two more Black Wind Bandits, the stone bullet rolled forward for a certain distance. Within this short distance, it killed at least three or four Black Wind Bandits around.

One stone bomb has caused such a big result, but this time there are more than a dozen stone bombs. The result of these black wind robbers can be imagined!

"it is good..........!"

There were thunderous cheers above the top of the city, and Lin Hu on one side patted the city wall heavily, and shouted: "Good fight, really fucking good fight! This wave of attacks killed at least thirty or forty Heifeng Pirates, destroyed seven or eight shield vehicles, amazing!"

Lin Ze also nodded with a satisfied smile at this time. These gunners have lived up to their meticulous training. For the first time in actual combat, they fought accurately and ruthlessly, directly hitting the morale of their own army and severely dampening the morale of the enemy!

Soon, the second round of attack started again.

"Fufurfur...!"

"Boom, boom, boom...!" More than a dozen stones were shot out.

It is a pity that this round of stone bomb attack is not as fruitful as the first attack. After the prepared Black Wind Pirates saw the stone bomb coming again, under the orders of the leaders, they began to avoid the air. stone bomb.

Of the dozens of stone bullets, only half hit, and the rest missed and were dodged.

However, even so, the power of the stone bullet was still exerted to a great extent.

The shield car dodged the attack of the stone bullets, but the large number of black wind bandit infantry following behind the shield car was not so easy to dodge. Far away, he smashed the wheels of the wheelbarrows following behind.

It's not over yet, these stone bullets have not disappeared, they jumped a few more times, and smashed heavily on the heads of some black wind bandits who were following closely behind.

"Puff...!" There was a sound like a watermelon being smashed, and these stone bullets were directly embedded in the chest or head of Heifeng Pirates, blood, organs, and brains flowed all over the place... …

"Reload!"

The officer of the trebuchet unit on the top of the city saw the result from a distance, and was very dissatisfied in his heart, and loudly ordered the gunner to reload.

In the trebuchet unit formed by Lin Ze, there are a total of two gunners, a powerful unloader and loader, an aimer, and a gunner, a total of five people, and a corporal leader leading a corps of long guns Soldiers or sword and shield soldiers guarded by the side.

Hearing the order from the officer, the unloaders of several small catapults immediately moved the stone bullets on the ground at their fastest speed, and loaded them directly on the catapult.

The trebuchet uses the gravity of the counterweight to shoot. It appeared in the early Middle Ages and was used until the fifteenth century, mainly for siege and defense of fortresses.

There is a fixed horizontal shaft between the two pillars of the frame of the trebuchet, and there is a lever perpendicular to the shaft, which can rotate freely around the shaft. A heavy object is fixed on the short arm of the lever, and there is a bullet bag (a sleeve similar to a sling) at the end of the long arm for loading.

When shooting, use the winch to pull the long arm back almost horizontally, let it go suddenly, and the stone bag will rise immediately. When the jib weight is fully lowered, the projectile flies out of the pouch at approximately a 45-degree angle. The range of a 30 kg stone projectile is about 140-210 meters, and the range of a 100 kg stone projectile is about 40-70 meters.

This is the data of the catapult machine on the earth. On the Shenzhou continent, because the material of the rope of the winch of the catapult machine is the tendon of wild beasts, its strength is much stronger than that of ordinary ropes. Therefore, the catapult here The range of the aircraft is much longer than that on the earth, and generally has a range of three to four hundred meters.

Large trebuchets have a longer range, and a range of thousands of meters is not a problem.

After the unloading hand lifted the stone bomb on one side, it was directly placed in the bullet bag of the trebuchet. At this time, the person in charge of the winch had just put the winch in place, and at the same time, the aiming hand began to reset the trebuchet.

These small catapults on the city wall are not fixed on the city wall for the convenience of quick movement, so after an attack, the orientation will shift somewhat.

Soon, the small trebuchet was reset.

There are scales on these trebuchets, and as long as the aiming hand follows these scales, he can adjust the attack angle of the trebuchet.

At this time, the black wind bandits under the city wall were moving quickly. After the loading hand placed the stone bombs, the aiming hand next to him immediately aimed at the front sight and rear sight equipped on the trebuchet.

Attacking a moving target requires an advance amount. Fortunately, Lin Ze taught them Arabic numerals and arithmetic before, so these aimers quickly calculated these advance amounts.

Soon, a red flag was raised above each trebuchet running position.

This is to tell the team officer that they have aimed and are ready to fire.

The catapult team officer looked at the dozens of small red flags around him, and without hesitation, he waved the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire!"

Hearing the team officer's order, the gunners of each trebuchet immediately raised their big knives and cut off the ropes on the trebuchet.

"Fufurfur...!"

More than a dozen trebuchets fired one after another.

"Bang bang bang...!" A dozen stone bullets directly hit the fast-moving shield vehicles below.

After the aiming hand calculates the amount of awakening advance, the hit rate of the trebuchet is significantly improved.

But at this time, there were countless screams coming from the moat below the city.

"Ahh...!" The little leader of the Heifeng Bandit wearing three layers of armor hidden behind a shield car directly covered his face, just knelt down and kept screaming. Inside the gap, countless blood flowed from it...

This was a stone bullet that directly hit the shield vehicle he was in, and before that, the leader had been commanding the shield vehicle to move quickly, and did not realize that the trebuchet troops on the city wall had already calculated the amount of advance. The commanding shield car just hit the stone bullet...
