Chapter 19: Skewers
Sun Lin's mouth of the bed crossbow can actually be called the scorpion crossbow, is a kind of Roman period appeared in the ballista, although the age, but the power of this ballista has not been weakened by the passage of time, on the contrary, after the transformation of the craftsmen in the Middle Ages, the performance of this long-range strike weapon by torsion has been improved again, the longest range can reach 400 meters, and its power can be in 3 hits Nottingham wooden castle wooden door, the wooden door will be completely broken.
Due to the problem of time, such ballistas specially used to defend the city (siege ones, that is, movable ballistas are not counted) in Sun Lin's ballista workshop in the town of London, can only be produced for free at most 3 units per week, and now the two of the Nottingham Wooden Fort were transported from the plains of the New Delhi Peninsula after there was no stackable scorpion crossbow shooting platform on the wooden wall of the London Town, although due to the fact that there was no war before, So that Sun Lin and all his troops have not used this huge weapon, all Sun Lin except for the knowledge of the huge power of this weapon, which can fire arrows with fire, and the range is about 400 meters, nothing else, so although Sun Lin bet on the battle in the Nottingham Wooden Fort area on these two scorpion crossbows, but seriously, he has no bottom in his heart now, as for his troops? It is estimated that in addition to Sun Lin's generals and guards, they also know how to use this thing, such as those civilian crossbowmen, hook and sickle soldiers, spear sergeants, etc., who don't know what this thing is.
"This............ Place the arrow on the groove and set the arrow on fire............ Then aim for the plank............ And then turn this more gear-like thing to the bottom............... Pull this handle after the last ............"
"Bump!" All the soldiers on the battlefield, including the half-orcs or the Terrans commanded by Sun Lin, were all attracted by a slender "meteor" that suddenly flew out from the wooden wall shooting platform, compared to the surprise of the Terran soldiers, the half-orcs looked at the flying "meteor" with a curious blank expression, curious about what this "meteor" was generated. But after a few seconds, the orcs suddenly reacted.
"Huh? This thing seems to be coming to us. A half-orc slinger suddenly shouted after seeing the flaming bolts from the ballista through the cracks with a wooden plank in his hand, but before he could finish his sentence, he found that the flying "meteor" had become as big as his head, and then after he suddenly smelled a smell of burnt barbecue, after he found that everything in his eyes had turned orange, the orc slinger who had reacted first died, leaving only a black corpse.
Looking at the wooden plank that was originally shot through by hundreds of crossbow arrows, after being shot by the scorpion crossbow, it not only shot in half and burned, but also shot the 4 half-orc slingers behind the plank directly together and roasted them into charcoal, all the soldiers under Sun Lin who stood on the city wall swallowed their saliva, after systematic transformation, these soldiers have not in their minds and memories those who were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows, or people who were chopped into meat sauce by dozens of weapons, but the premise is that these people have resisted before they die, But I don't think I've seen a way to die like this today when I was shot directly into a skewer without even reacting, and people are always afraid of the unknown, and forgetting that this weapon seems to be on their side.
Just before the group of orc slingers and Sun Lin's subordinates could react, when they came over, another slender meteor flew out from another shooting platform, and in the dense group of orc slingers, shooting the six unlucky half-orcs into a new skewer. At the same time, Sun Lin's soldiers remembered: "Oh! This horrific scene seems to have been made by our people! Then the crowd cheered "Hooray!" God Almighty! Great Urban. Charlie. King Sun! Then the half-orc slinger also reacted, and also began to shout loudly, shouting chaotic beast language, and under everyone's attention, he held his head with both hands and found the nearest cliff face and squatted down, and even Sun Lin, who was standing on the shooting platform, saw a certain half-orc actually take off his fig leaf, and found a wooden stick to put it on the head of the wooden stick, so that it fluttered in the wind in the air, and more than 2,000 half-orcs under the mountain, including a certain half-orc tribe leader, all reacted in this way...... ……
“…………… This is a surrender! What's this called............ Having said that, the way of surrender in this world seems to have a sense of déjà vu! Is it really surrender? Or is it a trick? Tangled............"
At the same time, the battle at the entrance to the crack in the canyon of "God Bless" also started for nearly 20 minutes, compared to the crushing victory of the human army against the half-orc army in the Nottingham Wooden Fort area, the battle here was extremely fierce, due to the lack of long-range troops, the 3 spear sergeants guarding the low stone wall and a team of hook and sickle soldiers were subjected to the "stone rain" tactics of the half-orcs at the beginning of the battle, which was originally a relatively empty stone wall, but at this time it was filled with countless stones, More than 10 spear sergeants have been killed, seriously wounded, or buried in stones under the "stone rain".
Captain Richard, the commander of the area, also suffered blunt injuries to his head from the impact of more than a dozen stones, causing him to suffer a mild concussion.
"Captain Richard! Those filthy orcs are climbing up from under the frontal walls again! ”
"How many times have orcs attacked?"
"It's the 4th time!"
"That means we have to fight back once before we can retreat after repelling this attack, hey! Tell the order! Tell the soldiers to prepare for hand-to-hand combat! Tell them to hold on one more time after this time and we'll be able to retreat! ”
"Yes! Ah! Abominable stones! ”
In the very old-fashioned battle for the city wall, when the half-orc troops finally climbed the city wall again after falling to death and injuring some of them while climbing the city wall, the 3 spear sergeants and 1 team of hook and sickle soldiers who had been waiting for a long time under the command of Richard Guard plunged hundreds of spears or hook sickles into the half-orcs, and the subsequent half-orcs fought to the death with the human soldiers according to the old rules of 3-on-1 fighting, although it was shameless, but this was war. However, Richard is not a fool, after discovering that this situation occurred again, Richard immediately ordered the front to shrink, so that the 3 spear sergeants formed a shield wall on the stone wall, and the 43 hook and sickle soldiers who survived several battles became the firefighters of the shield wall front, and when they were about to be broken through by the orcs, they immediately supported it, and the battle at the mouth of the canyon entered a stalemate for the fourth time.
