Chapter 74 Torsion Ballista
Needless to say, the forging skills of the dwarves, Tang Zhao moved a little bit, and the armor behind him did not affect his actions at all.

The steel reserves are only so small, and after the claw sleeves and neck guards are finished, they are basically used up.

However, the equipment produced is indeed not to be chosen. The manufacturing process and materials are excellent. Tang Zhao believes that this set of equipment will come in handy in the future.

At this stage, his flesh and blood body is still inferior to steel, and even that dragon beast's physical strength is absolutely impossible to compare with steel.

In addition, he also shunned the arrows of a few ballistas from the dwarf settlement - the craftsman who made the weapon for him came from this place, and the specifications of the weapons in the two places were the same, so they could be brought there for use directly.

After thanking the dwarf craftsmen, Tang Zhao led the bears and quickly left the dwarf settlement with their supplies. They still had matters to solve.

After returning to my settlement, the situation hasn't changed much in just a day or two. Generally speaking, it's still the same.

The goblins made a few more harassing attacks on the colony, but that was all. The kobolds and goblins were able to stop their attacks.

The kobolds had a few casualties, but with the assistance of the dryads, they were definitely much less than the goblins.The dragon beast still hasn't shown up. Tang Zhao purposely walked around the camp several times, but he didn't smell the dragon beast's scent, which means that it should not be nearby and is safe for the time being.

Tang Zhao didn't waste time, and started to check the combat readiness as soon as he returned to the camp.

The most important thing is the engineering equipment designed by the dwarves, a ballista as tall as a man.

The overall structure is not complicated - the ballista body, the bracket and the torsion groups on both sides of the front end, there is nothing else, it looks like a typical torsion ballista.

According to the standard of the ballista, it is not very big, between the light and medium size, but it is enough.Tang Zhao just used the ballista to shoot living creatures, and didn't use it to attack the city and break through. He was sure that a ballista of this size could break through the dragon beast's defense.

The whole is made of oak, the rope is purchased from the human world, and the animal tendons used for the bowstring are taken from Tang Zhao's prey. After simple processing by the little fairy, it can be used.

Before Tang Zhao processed these tendons to make bowstrings for longbows, but now it seems that they are actually used to the best of their ability, anyway, they are all used to fight against the enemy, and it doesn't matter what form they are in.

The ballista has not undergone much modification, there is no dwarven metal carving decoration, nor is it painted with the patterns that goblins like. It is just a simple war machine, but no one will doubt the lethality of this big guy.

An excellent ballista is extremely accurate, and at the same time has a strong penetrating ability. It can nail a heavily armored enemy into a meat skewer from a hundred meters away. In terms of power, it is absolutely sufficient.

Tang Zhao didn't expect this thing to have the lethality of the fantasy world. As long as it can be on the same level as the ballista in history and can maintain the lethality within 300 meters, it will be enough to deal with the dragon beast.

[No problem, it's better than I expected, now just install this thing on the tower behind the wall.Make as much as you can in the remaining time, and it doesn't do us any harm to have too many of these things. 】

The dwarf artisans have now shown a rare generosity, directly passing on the ballista production technology to the kobolds, that is to say, even after the crisis is over, they can still create this kind of ballista, at most the power is reduced by a couple of dollars become.

Of course, this kind of ballista was played by the ancient Ostians thousands of years ago. Naturally, it is not a high-end product on the side of the dwarves, and they didn't feel bad about giving it.

After finishing this matter, Tang Zhao continued to pay attention to the overall defense of the settlement.

From the configuration of the patrol team to the schedule arrangement, it can only be said that a professional is a professional. The arrangement efficiency given by the dwarf craftsman is indeed much higher, which can free up a lot of manpower.

In addition, the kobolds have also brought in a lot of kobolds from the forest recently, which can free up a lot of labor force. Tang Zhao asked the little fairy Lalique to train a small group of people to prepare for emergencies.

The dwarves craftsmen actually made the planning drawings in general, but now they really don't have the spare energy to take care of these things, let's talk about the goblins and dragon beasts.

There is no equipment related to metallurgy, so in fact, the dwarf craftsman has nothing to do. He proposed that he help train the kobolds, but was rejected by Tang Zhao.

First of all, the tactics of the dwarves are not suitable for forests and suitable for tunnels. Secondly, the physical abilities of the dwarves are too good.

The goblin's military quality should not be as strong as the white bearded grandfather, but it is more suitable at this stage, and this is enough.

[Now that the chores are almost done, it's time for us to make some changes. It's not an option to be passively defensive all the time, and it's necessary to take the appropriate initiative.Get ready to take count, we're going to be ready to fight back now. 】

Defending is worse than attacking, and getting into a confrontation with those goblins will consume too much resources and time, and the current Tang Dynasty can't afford it.

Now that they already know the location of the dragon beast's lair, they also have suitable means of attack. Before the opponent is prepared, Tang Zhao thinks that it is completely possible to make a surprise attack if there is a difference in information.

It can range from harvesting the heads of dozens of goblins, to killing dragon beasts directly with ballistas. As long as they are careful enough and their tactics are properly planned, they will take advantage no matter what.

The dwarves who are currently half of the military advisers agree with Tang Zhao's idea. Other races have no objection to this proposal. A few abnormal voices did not overwhelm the mainstream. The proposal was passed after a short vote.

Of course, there is a little preparatory work to be done before that. Cynthia informed Tang Zhao when he first arrived that a tree man had initially awakened, and hoped that he could take time to meet with the other party and exchange a little bit, at least to gain some knowledge about how to deal with dragon beasts. First-hand information.
