Start a city building order

Chapter 37 Jincheng Information

The trebuchet is quite metaphysical.

If you don't test it yourself, you will definitely lose the chain in wartime.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Zhao Shan led the way in person. He had explored all the nearby hills in the past two days, and even personally commanded the soldiers to open up several rugged mountain paths leading directly to the top of the mountain.

Climbing up in one breath, Li Si was panting slightly, this body was still too weak, and he missed the strength potion of the previous level a little bit.

Looking around, there are still towering trees, so you can't see how far it is, but it is concealed enough. As for the height advantage, there is nothing to say.

This place is a hilltop of Luming North Mountain. The south side is Zhulu Pass, and the east side is a steep slope with a slope of about 70 degrees. The height from the ground is about 300 meters. It is really comfortable to put a catapult on this place.

After observing the specific location, Li Si initially set the position of the catapult, and asked someone to dig a hole with a depth of three meters and a width of three meters with an opening at the front. Concealment, as well as fireproof and rainproof.

After the pit was dug, a small catapult was fixed in it.

After some adjustments and recording of the angle parameters, the person took the bronze mirror and shook it three times in front of Zhulu Pass.

Soon, Zhao Xiaoer, who had been waiting there for a long time, also waved the red flag three times. This was mainly to prevent unsuspecting craftsmen from entering the test firing area, and was even more afraid of those craftsmen and common people panicking.

"Ready! Shoot!"

A craftsman took a sledgehammer and slammed open the pillar. The five-hundred-jin counterweight lost its support and suddenly drove the wooden pole down. The sudden burst of impact was ejected into the sky.

After flying upwards for tens of meters, the stone bullet dived downward in an arc. In just a few seconds, there was a bang, and the stone bullet hit the ground.

But in fact, there was not much movement, and the visual effects were even negligible. The craftsmen at Zhuluguan were not disturbed.

Soon, Zhao Xiaoer rushed out and planted a small red flag at the point where the stone bullet fell.

Li Si took a branch to write and draw on the ground for a while, seeking derivatives of various formulas, and it took a long time before he came up with a result that he didn't know whether it was accurate.

Then, keep firing, keep computing.

After ten consecutive projections, Li Si personally adjusted the catapult according to the calculation results, and marked three projection areas. In this way, the person in charge of launching only needs to remember these three projection areas to make temporary adjustments.

With his IQ, there is only so much he can do.

Afterwards, Li Si held hands and told each of the flying stone shooters to explain, and at the same time let them adjust the catapult by themselves, shooting the target round after round until they mastered it.

For four consecutive days, Li Si deployed a total of twenty trebuchet bases on the hills on both sides of Zhulu Pass.

Three trebuchets are placed in each base. Although each trebuchet requires five people to operate, he can use the method of pre-balancing the trebuchet, that is, one person, three guns, so that you can Inflicts maximum fire coverage in a short amount of time.

However, because there were no refugees, young men could not be recruited, let alone recruits, so Li Si had to spend 800 popularity points to recruit 80 swordsmen.

At the same time, he also drew the position of each catapult in detail on paper, calculated the cross-shooting range, and then designed three command flags of red, yellow and blue.

In addition, each catapult must have a bunker to prevent sun, rain, fire, and a duty cabin.

Each flying stone team is on duty during the day.

Every five flying stone groups set up a night guard post and arrange soldiers to patrol on duty.

Finally, each flying stone group should keep [-] stone bombs on hand.

After completing the above supporting facilities, each flying stone team will test [-] times a day, or conduct joint exercises, such as the yellow flag war warning, the red flag covering the established area, and the blue flag freely projected.

A few days passed, and all the Flying Stones groups played like a charm.

But Li Si also knew that relying on this Taoist holy beast, it's better to save money.

And he only has 1000 people's hearts left in his hand, and he can't even summon historical celebrities at random.

Fortunately, the progress of the God Arm Crossbow is going well. At present, 100 God Arm Crossbowmen have been successfully assembled, all of which are transformed by the Ranger Captain.

However, considering the speed of fire of the god arm crossbow, they are currently completely abandoning the two-handed machete. 10 sticks.

But in addition, they will also be equipped with ten heavy soldiers and ten pack horses, responsible for carrying supply crossbows for them.

And this kind of god arm crossbow has been tested, and its power is not bad at all, almost equivalent to the last batch of god arm crossbows.

However, if facing the Taoist holy beast, Li Si still feels very nervous.

Fortunately, his eight-ox crossbow design has passed the first round of verification by Daniel Zhang San. Currently, he is working on the problem of gear winding, which is expected to be resolved within a few days.

And on the evening of the seventh day of the opening, when Li Si was discussing with Cheng Daniu and Zhang San about the specific gear building plan, Huang Yu from the scout battalion hurried back.

Seeing this, Li Si immediately took Huang Yu back to the tent, "How is the situation in the north?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, in the past two days, my subordinates and a few brothers did not dare to walk on the main road. They hid day and night and approached the Jincheng battlefield fifty or sixty miles away cautiously. The first thing they saw was the black-toothed army. It's really boundless, the number is countless, the black-toothed barbarians are quite rampant, and they are attacking Jincheng day and night, but so far, they can't see the appearance of breaking the city."

"Then there is Lucheng Lu's army. They are very strange. They are stationed more than 50 miles away from Jincheng. Relying on the terrain, they built a big camp. They don't want to help at all. The black-toothed barbarians tried to charge them a few times. The big camp, but there is no result."

"Others, because there are a lot of crows around Jincheng, Your Highness, you have repeatedly asked to avoid these crows. If you can't hide, you can pretend you didn't see them, so your subordinates dare not visit them. But having said that, these crows are really evil. After entering the door, they seem to have become spirits."

"In addition, my subordinates also paid attention to Yanhui Mountain and the area around Futou Mountain. There is no one inhabited in that area. There is not a single refugee in sight. Even the refugees from Huangzhuangji don't know where they went. Instead, they are residents of Xishan Town. They have all gone back, and they are rushing to harvest rice and wheat these two days."

"Very good, take the brothers to rest first, this time you should make the first contribution to scouting the battalion."

Li Si praised Huang Yu, but when Huang Yu retreated, his brows were tightly frowned. Based on all the circumstances, Lucheng Lu's army was really waiting for the sudden death of the Black Tooth King.

If this is true, then there are only two days left before the sudden death of the Black Tooth King.

Is he going to take this opportunity to do something?
Looking up at the direction of Yanhui Mountain, Li Si knew that there were at least 1 refugees imprisoned in the hidden chamber of Yanhui Mountain Fusheng Taoist Temple at the moment, because not only the refugees from Dongjiazhuang, Mijiazhuang and other places, but also Refugees in Huangzhuangji.

Huangzhuangji is a big town, with a larger population than Xishan Town, but deducting those who were massacred by the black-toothed barbarians and those who fled to Luming Mountain, at least thousands of people fled to Futou Mountain. trace.

Therefore, as long as you win Yanhuishan, you can immediately get 3 points of national luck, at least [-] points of popular support.

Only in that way, he would be tantamount to an all-out war with the Taoist sect.

"Be patient, don't worry."

Li Si comforted himself that it was not enough to rely on the wealth he had accumulated now, there had to be a bigger incident that would draw the attention and most of the strength of the Taoist sect.

For example, the sudden death of the Black Tooth King.
