Chapter two hundred and eighty nine new elastic catapult

Xu Huang looked at Liu Zheng's people and stood next to the catapult. Although he didn't have any hope, he was still patient and planned to see if Liu Zheng's catapults were really useful.

Liu Zheng did not hesitate, and after he had all the people, he directly ordered.

"Raise the branches and prepare to project!"

The branches placed on top of twenty treble treble treble were moved away, revealing the appearance of the twenty treble treble treble by Liu Zheng.

It is called a catapult, but in fact, the catapult made by Liu Zheng is more like a crossbow bed, a huge base, and a wooden pole as thick as a thigh is erected in the middle.

A huge bow and arrow hung on the wooden pole, but the bowstring was pressed by another central axis.

At one end of the central axis is a wooden frame, with many stones placed inside.

"emission!"

After Liu Zheng saw that the personnel were in place, he immediately issued an order to those people.

Among the five people, one person walked out and pulled away the wooden pole of the main bow string at the bottom of the trencher.

Suddenly the bow string was turned back to its normal position, and then the central axis was bounced up together, preventing the stones in the wooden frame of the central axis from being ejected.

The stones in the wooden frame weighed 200 kilograms, and the power shot out by the huge bowstring is far beyond the power that a few people can use together. This power is fixed, and the elasticity of the bowstring is stronger.

With a bang, the first stone that was thrown out fell on the city tower.

A large pit was directly smashed on the city tower. The wall on the city tower was cut off by a small half of the huge stones. At the same time, the burst stones sputtered around, and many soldiers from Linyi who were guarding the city were injured.

This is not over. After the first stone was cast out, more than a dozen other catapults were pulled out of the wooden poles that pressed the bowstring at this time.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

Huge stones were projected out and aimed directly at the city wall.

In the first round of shooting, Liu Zheng's twenty catapults also had no high hit rate.

After all, the previous running-in was not very good, and there was no detailed distance test.

There were only three that really hit the city tower with twenty catapults.

However, Liu Zheng's trench machine was loading very quickly. Apart from pulling the bowstring up again, it was just moving the stones. The whole process took less than three minutes.

Moreover, after the first round of projection, the distance of each trencher was clear, and the responsible soldiers quickly re-adjusted the position of the trencher.

Because it is small in size and it doesn’t take much effort to move it, it is also easy to change the projection position of these treble machines.

A few minutes later, the second round of projection continued to begin.

Another rumbling sound, and the stones hit the city tower, aggravated the unrecognizable Xianglin City, which had hit the previous rounds of attacks again.

Moreover, the chance of hitting in the second round of shooting has been significantly improved.

There were actually seven of the twenty projected catapults hitting the city tower.

The stones projected by the seven trenchers were not those of Xu Huang's trenchers. Not only did Xu Huang's trenchers have low hit rate, but the weight of the stones projected were not enough.

The stones projected by Liu Zheng and other catapults were not only heavier than Xu Huang's, but also more accurate.

With just three rounds of projection, the city defense troops that were originally stationed in Xianglin City had been damaged a lot, and some of them were still not afraid to continue to carry them on the city tower. They were afraid of being hit by stones, and they accidentally died under the flying rocks.

At this time, Fan Xiong on the city tower realized that Liu Zheng was not joking with him that he had said that the ten-day attack on Xianglin City was not joking with him.

"It's over, it's over!"

At this time, Fan Xiong's face changed drastically. Looking at the catapults under the city, he fell into panic. He did not dare to stay on the city tower, for fear that a stone would fall down and the king would also die unexpectedly on the city tower.

What was surprised was not only those people from Linyi Kingdom, but also Xu Huang, who was standing beside Liu Zheng, was surprised by the terrible power of Liu Zheng and other catapults.

"My God! Your thief is so powerful, is it really you made this?"

Xu Huang opened his eyes and looked at the catapult on Liu Zheng's side.

Liu Zheng's trench machine not only casts stones with a large weight, but also consumes less manpower, and even the accuracy is easier to mediate.

This made Xu Huang, a man who also built a trencher, unable to believe that if he had not seen Liu Zheng bring people to design sketches and constantly tested and assembled them, he would not have believed that these trenchers were made by Liu Zheng.

"Hahaha, Brother Xu Huang, have you admitted defeat now? Did I win our bet?"

"I admit defeat, lord, what are you pretending to be in your mind? With my words, you can think of such a thing. If this thing had come out a year earlier, would we be afraid of the soldiers guarding the city in Hulao Pass when we were in Hulao Pass? Just use this catapult to hit him!"

Xu Huang directly admitted defeat, and remembered that when Hulao Pass, he didn't need to use any fire attack tricks. He just used a catapult to smash it. He could break through Xianglin City like today.

"Will it be learned by the government army a year ago? We will suffer losses at that time. It is not too late to come out now. This will be our weapon to siege in the future!"

"Lord, we have insufficient stones. Let me leave the next siege to the city."

Although Liu Zheng and the others sent a lot of people to get stones, after the continuous projection of the catapults on both sides of Liu Zheng and Xu Huang, more than ten tons of stones were consumed.

After Liu Zheng heard Xu Huang's words, he was not in a hurry.

"Hey, don't worry, the stones are gone, but it doesn't mean that my crossbow bed catapult is useless. Let me show you another function of my thing!"

Liu Zheng's words made Xu Huang stunned and confused again. I wonder what Liu Zheng meant.

"Come on, bring me the wood!"

Liu Zheng shouted at the other part of the people, and then some of the excess wood from the trees that had been cut down before was pulled over.

Although these eight or nine meters long trees are not thick enough to be used, they are completely enough to be used by Liu Zheng as projected spears.

The central axis of the crossbow bed was used as a bracket, with wood set on it, cutting off branches and leaves, leaving only the wooden pole in the middle. After the bowstring was pulled, it was the same as the principle of the catapult.

But this time, the wood is projected out.

Whoosh swish swish swish.
