On the wall, McCann saw two trebuchets being brought up. He had seen the power of the trebuchets when tested - stones as big as a human head could be thrown three hundred meters away. However, to obtain better accuracy, it needed to be pulled
As close as two hundred meters away.
At this distance, the heavy crossbow on the wall can also be put to use. At least it can make the craftsmen who launch stones not too arrogant.
As for whether Violent Rat Village can last for two days, McCann thinks there should be no problem. This village was besieged by ferocious animals many times in the past, and the walls are very strong, high and thick. It is definitely not possible to hit it with a trebuchet alone.
The method is easily destroyed.
As long as the wall is there, the unyielding bastards outside the wall will not dare to approach easily. At most, they are afraid that they will risk their lives to attack at night, but the Violent Rat Village is full of barbarians. The more serious the casualties, the stronger their fighting spirit.
Besides, those bastards outside the wall may not dare to fight for their lives.
As long as he can survive two days, McCann feels that the church leaders in Guimu Village will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely send reinforcements.
Like McCann, all the barbarians in Violent Rat Village climbed onto the wall and huddled behind the crenellations to look outside. They saw the enemy sending some skirmishers to monitor the two sides of the village, and they also saw the enemy coming from the front to position their troops.
"The horses of those guys look weird." Leader Schroeder said to himself unhappily.
The security horse is simply to use a few pieces of wood to build a stubble to prevent the enemy from making a quick attack. It has no technical content. But in the eyes of the people in the Violet Rat Village, those trashy security horses outside actually have wheels and are equipped with thick armor.
wooden planks as shields.
Three or five handymen pushed the rough-made wheeled horses and slowly approached to a position less than 200 meters away from the wall. At this distance, the large heavy crossbow on the wall could already be fired.
"Shoot a wave." Schroeder immediately ordered. Although he was very confident in his own wall, he did not want the enemy's troops to get too close to him.
Compared with the hand-held light crossbow, the heavy crossbow on the wall is a big and bulky thing. It weighs hundreds of kilograms, has a semi-fixed layout, and a torsion spring made of monster tendons, just in exchange for ultra-long range and powerful power.
.
There were two heavy crossbows in front of the village, and they fired immediately after receiving the order. The crossbow arrows, as thick as their arms, flew towards the approaching wheeled horses with a sharp whistling sound.
It flew past a distance of more than a hundred meters, and the hit was quite accurate. The metal arrow penetrated the thick wooden board in front of the horse with a bang and pierced in.
The crossbow bolts that suddenly came out frightened the handyman who was pushing the horse half to death. He immediately turned around and ran away without obeying the command. Several armed attendants supervising the battle behind waved their whips and cursed, trying to drive the handyman back. Just in time for the second wave of crossbow bolts.
Flying over again...
The crossbow arrow missed the horse, but flew over the head of an armed attendant, frightening him so much that he sat on the ground and became incontinent on the spot.
Hahaha......
There was a roar of laughter on the wall of Violent Rat Village. Although they were far away, the barbarians behind the crenels still saw those figures running around like cockroaches, and their originally nervous mood relaxed.
The bastards who came outside looked like there were so many people, but that was nothing more than that.
The handymen who pushed the horses came back soon, because they found that although the horses they pushed were heavy, their defense was reliable. Although the heavy crossbow of the Violet Rat Village penetrated the thick wooden block of the wheeled horses,
It was a board, but it didn't hurt me at all.
As a result, six or seven crude and hastily built horses were pushed to a position one hundred and fifty meters away from the wall. This distance was simply a provocation, and the people of Violet Rat Village were not taken seriously at all.
"Leader Schroeder, let's rush out and kill them. Those bastards outside are so hateful, I can smell their stench." Several barbarians in the village asked for a fight, and wanted to rush out and chop them into pieces with axes.
Those who rely on horses.
"No, there are too many enemies. If you go out, you will die." Schroeder snorted and flatly refused: "Hold on, we can win!"
The wheeled horses were in place, and the handymen transported sacks filled with sand one by one by hand to build the horse fortifications more firmly. This process attracted dozens of adventurers and armed attendants.
protection of.
Two hours have passed since we were waiting for the fortifications to be formed. Both sides seemed to be very patient, with one defending and the other slowly preparing.
Zhou Qingfeng placed his command headquarters by the woods three hundred meters away from the Violent Rat Village. The communications team he formed was running around to ensure that everyone involved in the battle understood their current situation and their responsibilities.
.
The handymen who carried the horses and sandbags were Zhou Qingfeng's men. They took turns, and every time they completed a task, they could return to the temporary camp to drink hot water, eat bread, and take a short rest. This allowed them to maintain a decent morale.
Able to work continuously.
This method of fighting is really strange. Fei Zhe from Iron Furnace Village is responsible for protecting these workers. He and his armed attendants are very puzzled. One of the attendants whispered in a low voice: "These untouchables can still work at the same time.
Let’s rest and have something to eat.”
Fei Zhe used to attack other villages by blocking the enemy's doorstep with his armed retainers and a group of slave-like servants, riding horses and showing off his power to provoke. If the opponent couldn't stand it, he would go to war, and the two sides would fight each other face to face.
What is the role of the untouchables? Basically, they are just to wave the flag and shout, then work as coolies afterwards, and they can’t do anything else.
Under the command of Uncle Zhou, all the gentlemen were watching the battle. A group of untouchables actually became the main force, and they had food and drink. Not to mention that Fei Zhe was extremely uncomfortable with it, and the leaders of other villages were not adaptable.
But at present, there seems to be nothing wrong with this arrangement. The gentlemen who participated in the war did not even need to break a sweat. They saw that a line of defense was completed, and then the two trebuchets were pushed onto the field and began to deploy.
At this time, there are only an hour or two left before noon.
The fighting atmosphere was not intense at all. There were many armed attendants riding horses back and forth, as leisurely as if they were on an outing.
Schroeder on the wall also felt suffocated. He also thought that the incoming beasts would hit the wall of his house without thinking, just like those ferocious animals in the past, which were blocked under the wall and suffered all kinds of abuse from the humans on the wall.
tú shā.
It would be best to have a strong man who can climb up the wall and kill a few barbarians in the village. No one can defeat him for a while. So Uncle Schroeder stepped forward, turned the tide when everyone was frightened, and killed the powerful enemy with an axe.
, saved the village again.
This kind of battle is perfect!
But the gang of bastards outside the wall today didn't do this. They were so slow and unnerving. Schroeder could only keep telling jokes to his men to relieve their boredom - look, the thief commanding the battle was so boring. It took a long time.
If you don't die, you won't even see blood.
Hahaha......
Then the walls burst into laughter again.
It's just that Schroeder only knew so many jokes. He told them over and over again, and his laughter was perfunctory and fake. He waited and waited for half a day. Suddenly, he heard a roar from outside the wall.
, as if something was rolling.
Schroeder quickly looked up and saw that the enemy had already set up a trebuchet behind the horse wall. The counterweight of the trebuchet sank, the swing arm was raised, and a stone in the net was thrown high and passed over a
A distance of more than 100 meters...
With a whoosh, he landed behind the wall of Violent Rat Village.
The stone carried a lot of kinetic energy and shattered when it hit the ground. The splashed gravel flew around and hit the buildings in the village, causing a chaotic noise. This blow was very powerful, and it would be impossible to survive if it was hit.
disabled.
The barbarians on the wall were a little frightened, but Schroeder laughed loudly: "Look, I just said that the trebuchet is not accurate, it can't hurt us even half a hair. Hold on, we can win!"
