Chapter 88: Layout

On the fence,'thorns' saw two trebuchets that had been brought up. He has seen the power of the thing when it is tested-a rock with a human head can be thrown three hundred meters away. However, in order to get a better accuracy, you need to zoom in to within two hundred meters.

At this distance, the heavy crossbow on the fence can also be used. Anyway, let the craftsman who launch the stones not be too rampant.

As for whether the orc stronghold can last for two days,'Thorns' felt that there should be no problem. This settlement was besieged by violent animals many times in the past, and the walls were very strong, high and thick. It is certainly not easy to destroy it simply by smashing with a trebuchet.

As long as the wall is there, those unwilling to succumb outside the wall dare not approach easily. At most, I was afraid that they risked their deaths to attack at night, but the orc strongholds were all barbarians. The more deadly and injured, the stronger their fighting spirit.

Besides, the choppy outside the wall may not dare to come desperately.

As long as it can last for two days, the Maglu tribe, who is aware of the mortar pit of Thorns, will certainly not sit idly by, and will definitely send reinforcements.

Like the'thorns', the barbarians in the orc stronghold all climbed onto the wall, shrank into the crenel and looked out. They saw the enemy sending out some skirmishers to monitor the two wings of the stronghold, and they also saw the enemy coming from the front to set up a horse.

"Those guys look weird." The leader Schroeder said to himself uncomfortably.

According to the horse, it simply uses a few pieces of wood to build a shelf to prevent the enemy from making a quick assault. It has no technical content. But in the eyes of the people in the orc stronghold, the crumbs outside were immediately equipped with wheels and thick wooden boards as shields.

Three or five handymen pushed the rough-worked wheeled horses, and slowly approached them to a position less than two hundred meters from the wall. At this distance, the large heavy crossbow on the fence can be fired.

"Shoot a wave." Schroeder ordered immediately. Although he had confidence in his own wall, he didn't want the enemy's horse to be too close to him.

Compared with the light crossbow in hand, the heavy crossbow on the fence is a big and cumbersome one. The weight of hundreds of kilograms, the semi-fixed layout, and the torsion spring made of monster tendons are only in exchange for super long range and powerful power.

There were two heavy crossbows in front of the settlement, and they fired immediately after receiving the order. The crossbow bolts with thick arms whizzed sharply and flew towards the approaching wheeled horse.

As soon as he flew over a distance of more than a hundred meters, the knockdown was quite accurate, and the metal arrow pierced the thick plank on the front of the horse and pierced in.

The sudden crossbow bolt exploded with a large number of wooden thorns, scaring the handyman pushing the horse to death, and immediately ran away without observing the command. The armed attendants who supervised the war in the back lashed out, trying to drive the handyman back. It just so happened that the second wave of crossbow arrows flew over again...

Crossbow arrow did not hit Shima, but flew over the head of an armed attendant, frightening him and sitting on the ground, causing him to lose control on the spot.

Hahaha...

There was a burst of laughter on the wall of the orc stronghold. Even though they were far away, the barbarians behind the fortress still saw the figures running around like cockroaches, and they relaxed when they were nervous.

The clutter that struck outside looked crowded, but that's all.

The handymen who pushed the horse quickly came back, because they found that although the horse they pushed was cumbersome, the defense was still trustworthy. Although the heavy crossbow of the orc stronghold shot through the thick wooden baffle of the wheeled horse, it didn't hurt himself.

So six or seven hastily made horses were pushed to a position one hundred and fifty meters away from the surrounding wall. This distance is simply a kind of provocation, and the people in the orc stronghold are not taken seriously.

"Captain Schroeder, let's rush out and kill a wave. The shreds outside are too hateful, and I can smell them stinking." Several barbarians asked for a fight, and wanted to rush out and take an axe to smash the evidence horse.

"No, there are too many enemies, and going out is to die." Schroeder snorted and flatly refused: "Stay steady, we can win!"

The wheeled horses are in place, and the handy laborers transported sacks filled with sand one by one by hand, which will make the horse fortifications stronger. This process was protected by dozens of adventurers and armed attendants.

Waiting for the construction of the fortifications, two hours have passed. Both sides seem to be very patient, one is sticky, the other is prepared slowly.

Zhou Qingfeng placed his headquarters at the edge of the woods 300 meters away from the orc stronghold. The communications team he had formed was running around to ensure that everyone involved in the battle understood their current situation and their responsibilities.

This is also very novel. Those who participated in the war found that the more they knew, the more relaxed they were, and the more calm they were in dealing with nature.

The handyman who carried the horses and sandbags was Zhou Qingfeng's men. They take turns to play, and every time they complete a mission, they can return to the temporary camp to drink hot water, eat bread, and take a break. This allows them to maintain reasonable morale and continue to work.

This way of fighting is really strange. Fei Zhe of the Iron Mine Valley is responsible for protecting these laborers. He and his armed attendants are very puzzled. An attendant whispered: "These untouchables can actually work for a while, take a break, and have something to eat."

Fei Zhe used to attack other settlements by blocking the door of the enemy's house with armed attendants and a group of slave-like handymen, riding a horse Yaowu to provocation. If the opponent can't stand it, they will fight, and the two sides will fight each other face to face.

What is the role of untouchables? Basically, they are waving the flag and shouting, being a coolie afterwards, and can't do anything else.

Under the command of Uncle Zhou, it was all the lords who watched the battle. A bunch of untouchables actually become the main force, and there are food and drink. Not to mention that Fei Zhe is extremely unsuitable, and the other settlement leaders are unsuitable.

But at present, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. The masters who participated in the war didn't even need to sweat, and the construction of a line of defense against horses was completed, and then two trebuchets were pushed onto the field and began to unfold.

It was all afternoon, and there were only two or three hours left before dark. The fighting atmosphere was not strong at all, and many armed attendants ran back and forth on horseback, as if leisurely on an outing. I don't know if I can fight that day.

Schroeder on the wall also felt dull. He also thought that the shreds of the attack would hit his wall without thinking, just like those ferocious animals in the past, blocked under the wall and subjected to various slaughters by humans on the wall.

It's better to have someone who can get on the wall and behead a few barbarians on his side, so that no one can beat him for a while. So Uncle Schroeder stepped forward and turned the tide when everyone was frightened, cut the formidable enemy under the axe, and once again saved the homeland.

This kind of battle is perfect!

But today the group of choppy outside the fence doesn't play this set, it's so slow that it makes people worry. Schroeder could only keep telling jokes to his subordinates to relieve the boredom-behold, the rookie commanding battle is so boring. For a long time, no one was dead, and he couldn't even see blood.

Hahaha...

So laughed again on the fence.

Schroeder understands only so many jokes, he has to say too many times, his laughter is perfunctory, and it is a smirk when he hears it. Waiting and waiting, half a day passed. Suddenly I heard a rumbling from outside the wall, as if something was tumbling.

Schroeder quickly looked up, and the enemy had set up a trebuchet behind the horse wall. The counterweight of the trebuchet sank, swinging its arms, and a stone in the net was thrown high, over a distance of more than 100 meters...

Hu Deyi fell behind the wall of the orc stronghold.

The stone carries a lot of kinetic energy, and it falls to pieces and shatters. The splashing rubble flew around with a crackle, hitting the buildings in the camp and causing a mess. This attack is not small, it is really going to endure immortality and disability.

The barbarians on the wall were a little frightened, but Schroeder laughed loudly: "Look, I said that the trebuchet can't hit it, it won't hurt half of our hair. The people outside can't get in!"
