"Launch!" With a powerful counterweight trebuchet throwing a boulder weighing about 500 kilograms, the Morse defenders in the arrow towers were either buried by stone bricks or fell from the sky and fell into meatloaf before they could react. If the entire wall of the capital of the Duchy of Morse is compared to a mouth, the arrow tower that is the tooth has been beaten by hundreds of counterweight trebuchets, and there is not even a single intact one.

As for the power of the counterweight trebuchet, this was squeezed into Sun Lin's expectations, and it was also beyond Sun Lin's expectations. The reason in it is very simple, as a kind of siege weapon that can compare the power of the initial artillery, hundreds of counterweight trebuchets will collapse all the stone towers under the launch of such a result that it is worthy of it, and the unexpected is because Sun Lin did not expect that this counterweight trebuchet can actually throw more than 500 kilograms of boulders, you must know that even in the original world, those counterweight trebuchets can only throw about 400 kilograms of boulders at most, and throwing 500 kilograms of boulders is simply delusional, But this delusion is fulfilled here.

But after thinking about it, Sun Lin was also relieved by this, the counterweight stone throwing machine in the middle and late Middle Ages could only throw about 400 kilograms of stones, that was because most people in that era spent their time on fighting the holy city with swords and guns, and at that time they put their minds on scientific research, and there would be no modern thinking like Sun Lin who would gather all scholars together and pay them salaries to engage in research. But it's not bad to be cannon fodder. And then ......... And then there was none, and those scholars had been pressed to the front-line troops, and a wooden stick was used as a death squad.............

After the counterweight trebuchet eliminated all the main fire points of Morse, the giant shield crossbowmen at the forefront of the three military formations of the Sunset Empire also began to march forward at this moment, and moved to a distance of 300 meters outside the city wall, which is the longest range of the pulley crossbows currently equipped in the hands of the giant shield crossbowmen.

"Ready! Launch! "30,000 giant shield crossbowmen, under the orders of hundreds of centurions, aimed the loaded pulley crossbows at the soldiers of the Duchy Morse who were still in a state of confusion on the city wall, and released steel crossbow arrows. 30,000 giant shield crossbowmen means that a total of 30,000 crossbow arrows have been shot out in this salvo, and the resulting arrow rain is like a dark cloud, but this is not an ordinary dark cloud, because it carries the breath of death. And when this dark cloud descended on the city wall, the Morse soldiers, who were originally more than 5,000 people, instantly lost more than 1,000 people, and their combat exploits were even higher than that of 30,000 Yoman longbowmen.

The reason for this result is not in the human body, if you really want to compare, the proficiency of the Yoman longbowman in weapons and the accuracy of firing arrows are much higher than that of the giant shield crossbowmen. The real difference is that the power of the longbow and the pulley crossbow is really not comparable.

Although the arrows shot by the Yoman longbow with the purple-shirted longbow and the crossbow arrows shot by the giant shield crossbowmen with the pulley crossbow are both treated with armor-piercing attributes, the essence of the armor-piercing effect caused by the two weapons is different, the longbow is equipped with a conical steel arrow and arrows are thrown into the air, the impact force generated when they fall to pierce the enemy's armor, to achieve the effect of armor-piercing, which is a complete test of the longbowmen's psychological quality and arm strength, and the result will be very variable.

The giant shield crossbowmen don't need to use the same trouble as the Yueman longbowmen, they only need to aim the simple crosshair made of wood on the pulley crossbow at the enemy and pull the shooting button, what is tested is only the stability of the giant shield crossbowmen when they lift objects with both hands, as for other ballistics, wind direction and the like, please they are crossbowmen, and they are not snipers with Barrett to play point shooting, consider so much top leather use! And the power of the pulley crossbow is completely generated by the pulley crossbow itself, and the arm strength has nothing to do with it, and the most important thing is that the power of the pulley crossbow is much stronger than the longbow, so although the longbowmen are all marksmen, and the power of the longbow is also very strong, but on the whole, the longbowmen are still not as good as these direct quick crossbowmen, and the longbow is not as direct as the pulley crossbow that does not play with the throwing ray and is more powerful in terms of strike. Of course, this is not to say that a pulley is stronger than a longbow, because sometimes, a longbow that can shoot can only shoot in a straight line may be much stronger.

The blow of the rain of arrows caused the morale of the Morse soldiers to fall to a low point, but it also woke up all the soldiers and the generals of the team to which they belonged, and the Morse generals who reacted immediately commanded the remaining archers on the city wall to raise their short bows and start to fight back, but the next scene made all the Morse generals and archers so depressed that they vomited blood.

I saw that the giant shield crossbowmen did not step on the crossbow in their hands and start reloading after the shooting, as those Morse soldiers had seen with treadmills, but immediately turned around after shooting, squatted on the ground with their backs to the city wall and began to reload. It doesn't make a difference if it's a normal crossbowman, because whether it's on the back or chest, being shot by an arrow will inevitably hurt or even die, but this is a big difference for a giant shield crossbowman.

But these Morse soldiers, who were full of grief over the death of their comrades, turned their grief into anger, and turned their anger into strength, and after aiming the arrows in their hands at the giant shield crossbowmen, they suddenly found that the giant shield crossbowmen who were originally standing outside the city wall disappeared, and were replaced by a huge shield made of steel that stood on the ground up to 2 meters high, and there was no doubt that the arrows fired by the soldiers of the Duchy of Morse were nailed to the giant shield except for some of the arrows that were inserted into the ground due to the miss. Only a handful of powerful arrows pierced the shield and stabbed the crossbowmen behind the shield. But apart from making the crossbowmen scream in pain, forcing them to tear themselves down from the battlefield and prepare to be treated by the combat doctors, they did not shoot a single one of them.

"It's worthy of the giant shield crossbowmen I hope for, and they are indeed crossbowmen specially used in siege warfare, such a terrifying defense should be able to disgust the Morse people, right?" Sun Lin smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, everything that should be tested has been tested, the Papal Guard is a defensive soldier, this kind of siege war cannot fully measure its combat ability, and with the current time, it is time to end this battle that has dragged on for so long............ Pass the order and let the Giant Shield Crossbowmen continue to attract the attention of the enemy and signal the Naga and Fish-Man Warriors who had been lurking beneath the harbor area of the city in front of them to get moving! ”
