After working overtime, the deputy professional players of the Silver Empire finally produced the first batch of ordnance the next day. It was so easy that they felt nothing. Fatty and several Silver Empire players were happy and happy, looking at the four freshly baked ordnance.
, as if seeing a peerless beauty.
"Finally made it!" Fatty couldn't help but sigh.
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Quickly wipe the irritation, it's about to leak out!"
What players are most familiar with and expect the most is not the siege equipment, but the three-bow crossbow, which is a defensive equipment. It can be said that this thing allows players to truly see the role of large ordnance in war.
Everyone's first choice was to gather next to the three-gong bed crossbow. The three-gong bed crossbow, also known as the "Eight Ox Crossbow", uses hard wood as the shaft and iron pieces as the feathers. It is known as "one gun, three swords and arrows" in the world.
The bed crossbow can also fire "stepping arrows", which are spectacular when fired. The arrows are like javelins and have a very long range!
"Are the arrows ready?" Zeng Yi asked as he looked at the three-bow crossbow.
The players of the Silver Empire were stunned, and all showed embarrassed expressions. After the three-bow bed crossbow was made, Guang was so excited about this thing that he forgot about the arrows. Fortunately, the arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow were like javelins, and he used the javelin to shoot them slightly.
It can be used after modification.
Soon, with the efforts of the Silver Empire players, several arrows were quickly produced.
"Hurry up and test its power!"
A group of players immediately rushed forward and immediately operated the three-bow bed crossbow. The three-bow bed crossbow was standard for the imperial court. There were thirty people in a combat team. The players were much stronger than the imperial soldiers, but they still needed more than a dozen
Only people can operate the three-bow bed crossbow. Fortunately, players have already been exposed to the three-bow bed crossbow, so there is no need for further training.
Soon everyone installed the arrows. Fatty gave the order and the arrows were launched. The arrows were extremely fast and had a very long range. After flying for a few seconds, the arrows plunged in. The Silver Empire arranged in advance.
On a good target.
The Silver Empire knew that the three-bow crossbow was extremely powerful, so when setting up the target, they built a special wall imitating the city wall. As a result, the arrow, which was as thick as a child's arm, actually penetrated deeply into the wall.
After a group of people rushed over and saw this power, they cheered again, "Hey, with this power, if it can solve the transportation problem of the three-bow crossbow, it is completely possible to use it as a siege equipment!"
The historical three-bow crossbow can indeed be used as a siege weapon. The arrows are like javelins. When fired at close range, they can be directly nailed into the city wall. When firing a salvo, rows of slug arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall.
Siege soldiers can use this to climb up. However, in the game, probably for the sake of the player's gaming experience, the three-bow bed crossbow was directly shaved off, making it a very heavy defensive instrument that needs to be fixed on the city wall and fired. After all, if this thing
If you can move casually, even a top-notch expert may not be able to withstand a shot.
Zeng Yi nodded, "The power is okay, but compared to the three-bow bed crossbow produced by the imperial court, it is still slightly insufficient. Let's try the range next!"
Soon the three-bow crossbow was fired again, this time to test the range without setting up a target.
"The range is also missing by one section, but it is still within the acceptable range. As your people become familiar with the manufacturing process and control the accuracy, it should be able to improve a bit, reaching a level similar to that of the imperial court!... Three
Large-scale construction of bow bed crossbows can begin!”
After watching the three-bow crossbow, everyone gathered around the catapult. Catapult players are also very familiar with it. During the chaos in the Western Region, the ten major guilds suffered greatly. As a siege equipment, this thing is simply a rogue, even if it can't attack.
Coming down, it can also destroy a large number of buildings in your city. The problem is that the ammunition can be replenished anytime and anywhere. You can just quarry the stone on the spot.
Zeng Yi could imagine that in the future, the major guilds would stand randomly among each other and get a bunch of catapults. If they couldn't attack your city, they would destroy you and go bankrupt.
In order to verify the destructive power of the catapult, the Silver Empire made preparations in advance. Of course, it was impossible for the Silver Empire to get a real city for the experiment, but they prepared a section of city walls and buildings overnight. It must be said that the Silver Empire was still very
It's amazing, being able to prepare those things overnight is really amazing.
The ammunition of the catapult is easy to get, just collect some stones. One person holds the stones, and they are thrown out by the catapult. They hit a section of the city wall built by the Silver Empire, and directly made a big hole.
Looking at the effect, the three-bow bed crossbow is still shocking.
"Trying the destructive power of the building!"
Another boulder was thrown out, accurately hitting several buildings, and the buildings were destroyed in an instant.
"Okay!" After he couldn't help but let out a cry of regret, the fat man couldn't help but said: "Unfortunately, compared to the three-bow bed crossbow, the range is too close. If the enemy deploys the three-bow bed crossbow, the power of the catapult will be greatly reduced.
Got it!"
"Siege equipment and city defense equipment are mortal enemies. On the other hand, with this catapult, the deterrent effect of the three-bow bed crossbow will be greatly reduced. After all, both sides are weapons that can threaten the other!"
Fatty looked at Zeng Yi, "I understand too, it's just a pity!..." After saying this, Fatty suddenly changed his attitude and asked several players behind him, "How are you doing? Take pictures of them all."
Alright?"
"Don't worry, President, we have arranged dozens of camera positions. From loading and launching to the final destruction effect, our publicity team has taken pictures!"
"What are you?" Zeng Yi looked at the fat man and asked.
"Hey, we plan to film the experiment, then edit it, post-art processing it, and add it to the BGM! When the major guilds take off, we can release it directly and it will definitely be a big hit!"
"Ours is a monopoly business. We still don't need publicity. We just need to keep a low profile and make money. Once the major guilds start a war, we won't have to worry about selling. By then, the supply of breakthroughs will exceed demand!"
"This...hehe, we have never done a monopoly business. This is our mistake, but we still have to make it after taking pictures, just in case it is useful in the future!"
"It's up to you... hurry up and experiment and try other ammunition!"
Although the ammunition of the catapult can be made from local stones, it is the most basic ammunition. In addition to stones, there are actually some other ammunition, such as kerosene, which is put in a clay pot and thrown out after being lit.
It is a kind of ammunition specially used to destroy the buildings in the enemy's city.
Generally speaking, the effect is pretty good, but the same problem as the three-bow bed crossbow is due to the unfamiliarity of the players and the assembly accuracy problem, which makes the catapults made by the Silver Empire worse than the catapults produced by the imperial court.
