These trebuchets were designed by him, and the operators were trained by him, so he was responsible for the long-range strike. He took a few apprentices and kept running back and forth behind the trebuchets on the city wall, constantly Correct the actions of those soldiers so that the trebuchet can work normally.

Soon the catapults on the city wall cast the first batch of stone bullets. Because there were no Hercules loaders like the orcs, the stone bullets thrown by the human catapults were not as big as the orcs. But each one is also the size of a basketball.

In addition, they launch condescendingly, and the weight of the stone projectiles is small, so the distance they project is very long. A stone projectile the size of a basketball weighs about 30 kilograms. The trebuchet they use is a counterweight trebuchet. The counterweight uses a ten-ton heavy hammer. Of course, it does not use brute force like the orcs when it is powered up. Instead, it uses a lot of pulleys and winches. The first batch of projections is to achieve the effect of long-range killing, so The lightest stone bullet is used, and the throwing distance is greatly increased.

Those slaves of various ethnic groups carrying sandbags had just arrived in front of the first moat, and before they threw the sandbags in their hands into the river, they saw stone bullets roaring into the crowd, although they were far away from the city wall. The distance is about 800 meters, but these stone eggs falling from the sky still carry huge kinetic energy.

Like meteors, stone bombs fell from the sky and smashed into the crowd, immediately setting off a bloodbath. Thirty kilograms of stones, carrying huge potential energy, fell from the sky, often killing four or five slaves at once. It was hard, and would continue to bounce and roll, but all the slaves who stood in the way of the stone bullet were knocked to the ground, and as long as they were hit, it was basically hopeless.

After the first batch of stone bullets fell, the second batch of stone bullets fell immediately. Although there were not many trebuchets on the human city wall, they used winches and pulleys for strength, so it was not difficult to launch them. It is too laborious to guarantee a certain firepower density and continuity, and these slaves who have never been on the battlefield have experienced such a scene?

The people who were still around just now had their brains cracked by the big stones falling from the sky in the blink of an eye. Many people were stimulated by this scene. Almost when the third batch of stone bombs fell, these slaves collapsed. Fleeing to the back, the hundred or so werewolf supervisors in the back, although they tried their best to cut down dozens of escaped leaders, they couldn't maintain the collapse of tens of thousands of people, and were soon scattered by the fleeing slaves. He was pushed to the ground and trampled to a pulp.

And Tadel and a few half-orc leaders standing behind couldn't help becoming furious seeing such a scene, but it was the first temptation, and these damned slaves collapsed, which can definitely be said to be a bad start.

"Tariqi, take your men up, stabilize these slaves for me, and chop a few more for everyone's dinner at night, so that these wastes won't waste food, but don't kill too many, they will be used in the future."

With a gloomy face, Tadel ordered loudly to the werewolf leader beside him,

The werewolf leader with red eyes stretched out his tongue and licked his fangs: "Understood the general."

Then he turned around and rode on a giant wolf the size of a calf. He greeted him and rushed to the battlefield with hundreds of werewolf cavalry. The scattered slaves were like a flock of sheep surrounded by shepherd dogs. After hundreds of people were beheaded, they immediately stopped obediently, and then began to line up again under the kicks and butcher knives of the werewolf cavalry .

As soon as the line was lined up, that Taric asked people to continue to distribute sandbags to everyone, and then he directly pulled out all the more than one hundred people in the front of the line, and chopped off their heads in front of these slaves .

The blood mist and the pungent smell of blood made all the slaves present red-eyed, and Talic shouted to them viciously: "This time, if anyone dares to run back, this is their end. Listen to me, what you have to do today is to keep filling the trenches for me, no one can escape, if you are lucky enough to rush to the bottom of the city wall, I guarantee that you will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future."

The slaves also understood the situation. Today they had no choice but to rush towards the moat in front of the moat again, holding sandbags under the butcher knife of the werewolf cavalry.

The density of the stone bullets on the city wall was limited, so they couldn't kill all of them, but if they fled, these half-orcs could kill them all immediately, so they could only grit their teeth and fight.

Looking at the slaves under the city wall who were still desperately filling the river regardless of the stone bullets falling from their heads, Xiao Feng could only sigh bitterly. He had no choice but to leave the country now, just like them. He had no choice but to survive!

Although the trebuchet on his side was still constantly throwing stone bombs, after all, the stone bombs did not explode like cannonballs, and their lethality was still limited. The first moat was quickly filled up almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. . .

A ten-ton counterweight hammer and a fifteen-meter-long boom. According to the standards of the human world, such a trebuchet is a heavy weapon in the Middle Ages. Xiao Feng has also learned about history. Such a trebuchet can weigh 90 A kilogram of stone bombs projected a distance of 300 to 400 meters.

But now, because the projectiles are 30kg stone bullets, and they are fired from a ten-meter-high city wall, the projected range has at least doubled.

The distance of more than 800 meters is completely within the projection range of the trebuchet, and in terms of the power of weapons in the cold weapon era, the power of the dozen or so trebuchets on the city wall is absolutely huge.

So far, at least three or four hundred slaves have been smashed to death, but after all, these are only slaves, and they haven't really killed a half-orc. Under the threat of death, he has become numb to the killing of this trebuchet.

And the firing speed of the trebuchets on his side has gradually slowed down. Although these trebuchets are wound using winches and pulleys, manpower is limited after all. Hundreds of operators are projecting hundreds of stone projectiles. After that, exhaustion has begun to appear.

Richardsman had to replace those operators with some energetic soldiers, but the trebuchet had just been built not long ago, and not all soldiers had been trained to operate it, so the speed of projection slowed down.

Even one or two trebuchets were damaged due to improper operation and poor quality. At this time, Richardsman was leading his apprentices to replace the two trebuchets with broken booms. .

The decrease in firepower density on the human city wall greatly boosted the morale of the slaves and half-orcs under the city wall. Soon, those slaves rushed to the second moat 600 meters away with sandbags on their backs, and the half-orcs also The giant catapult that pushed them slowly came to the second moat.

The moat was about 600 meters away from the human city wall. Many soldiers on the city wall could already see the ferocious faces of the half-orcs from this distance, and the atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became tense.

Especially seeing the giant catapults pushed forward by the half-orcs. These catapults are more than twice as tall as the catapults on their city walls. If such catapults are human beings, they cannot be operated at all, but Because of their natural physical advantages, operating such a trebuchet is no problem for half-orcs.

A few more experienced half-orc officers, after roughly measuring the distance, began to order to stop the advance, and then began to anchor the catapult, and then a few nimble half-orcs turned their heads and asked people to put the human The stone bullets fired from the city wall were picked up and put into the projected net bag, and the stone bullets the size of a millstone in their ammunition cart were not used.

A beefman officer, seeing that the catapult was ready, immediately gave the order to launch. According to human standards, their catapult is definitely a heavy catapult. If they fire their standard millstone-sized stone bullets, They can project a distance of three to four hundred meters, but now they are projecting small 30-kilogram stone bullets, and the projected distance is directly doubled.

There were dozens of catapults pushed forward by the orcs. Although some of them were obviously new and shoddy, this did not affect the launch distance and killing efficiency of the catapults.

Soon there were several stone bullets whizzing over the city wall, and hit the back of the city wall. This shows that if such a type of stone bullet is thrown, it can completely cover the humans on the battlefield. The morale of the orcs was greatly boosted, and they chanted chant one by one, and began to quickly reload the catapults, working hard.

And Xiao Feng didn't expect that these half-orcs would think of such an idea, because he had noticed the half-orcs' catapults before, and according to his deduction, if they threw the standard stone bullets used by half-orcs, their effective range would be three One hundred meters, that is to say, they must reach the first moat before they can pose a threat to humans.

But he didn't expect these half-orcs to know how to adapt on the spot. They actually replaced the stone bullets on the spot and used the small stone bullets they fired. This is like a more powerful slingshot. It will be bigger, and although the power will decrease, the killing and deterrent effect on personnel will be greatly improved.

Some stone bombs hit the container city wall under his feet, making loud noises, and some humans on the city wall suddenly changed their expressions. . .
