I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 508 The changed situation

Stones weighing dozens of kilograms roared in mid-air, and the sound they brought with them was so painful that just hearing it made one's teeth ache.

When the rocks hit the canyon, no matter whether they were ordinary orcs or elite orcs, they were unable to withstand the impact.

After all, even if it were thrown directly, it would kill someone, let alone with the bonus of a trebuchet.

The orcs were so densely packed that the trebuchets on the city wall didn't even need to aim, and they could definitely knock down a large area just by hitting them.

But Jim still tried his best to find the right spot.

Throwing it out like this will only be a waste of resources.

Ten trebuchets began to operate and began a violent bombardment.

The entire battlefield seemed to have ushered in a period of silence. Both humans and orcs were shocked by this sudden situation and were speechless.

The huge boulders that kept roaring and falling were beyond everyone's imagination.

In the cold weapon age, the trebuchet was originally the most powerful means of killing.

At least before the advent of gunpowder, this was the most powerful weapon whether it was siege or defense.

A wave of projectiles came down, directly killing and injuring hundreds of orcs. The most important thing was the fear it brought to them.

Who can resist this kind of threat with huge rocks scratching overhead? No matter how brave the warrior is, he will be frightened and tremble.

"what is that!!"

The beast kings were no better than their subordinates, and their faces were also full of shock.

This is the question that countless people want to ask on the battlefield at this time.

But no one could answer their question.

At this time on this battlefield, no, in this era, the only ones who understand this principle are Chen Fan, and Jim who understands half of it.

It was not only the people outside the city who were shocked, but also the officers in the deep valley city.

The officers guarding various posts couldn't help but cast their eyes to the command hall behind them.

Everyone knew that these things must have come from the man in the command hall.

Their new leader really shocked them too much.

……

In the command hall.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Chen Fan was not at all proud, his face still looked serious.

The telescope had just been retracted from the direction of the trebuchet, and things were not going so well.

The trebuchets are indeed powerful, but due to materials and craftsmanship, the counterweighted trebuchets built by Jim did not reach the expected range.

Even if you are already standing at a high place, you can only project the attack to a distance of forty meters, and you will not be able to reach places slightly further away.

And when you see the crumbling trebuchet body, you know that many places are not fixed, and the wooden structure alone is not enough.

Such a trebuchet has a service life of at most ten or twenty times before it falls apart.

"Go and inform Jim that the ten trebuchets will be arranged in three groups for projection, and one will be left as a replacement."

"Arrange craftsmen as soon as possible to study the areas where the trebuchet needs to be reinforced. At the same time, arrange idle craftsmen to build more new trebuchets after the research is clear."

The order was quickly passed down, and Chen Fan could only shake his head and sigh.

Even though there is a lot of knowledge in his head, it is due to the backwardness of this era.

For example, even if there are blueprints for something like a trebuchet, the result is unsatisfactory.

You can't blame Jim, his craftsmanship is already very good, it can only be said that this era as a whole has not kept up.

This is also the reason why Chen Fan arranged for the trebuchet to appear so early. In normal times, the trebuchet might still scare away many orcs, but now the orcs have decided to fight for their lives.

Want to scare people away by relying on a trebuchet?

Rather than leaving it alone, it's better to use it as a means of intimidation.

At least looking at the battlefield now, when every orc is charging, he can't help but look up at the top of his head, for fear that the big stone will hit his head.

This is undoubtedly another blow to morale.

Chen Fan stood up, looked at the entire battlefield, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

There is still too little time left for myself. Until this moment, I have already arranged all the means that can be arranged.

Chen Fan could not guarantee that these methods could scare away the ferocious orcs. He could only say that he had maximized the winning rate of this battle.

However, the trebuchet can also cause damage to the beast kings, so Chen Fan believes that after this wave of projections, the beast kings will never be so bold as to take the lead in the charge.

This avoids the scene of seeing six powerful beast kings leading countless orcs to attack the city.

After all, Deep Valley City has already come up with means that are enough to threaten the life of the Beast King.

The beast kings who cherish their lives naturally have to consider the threat of the trebuchet.

……

The fighting on the battlefield is still continuing.

After recovering from the fright of the trebuchet, the Beast King was just as Chen Fan expected, and was not deterred by the trebuchet's methods.

After all, after calming down.

Look at the trebuchet. In fact, it can only kill a dozen orcs at a time, and there is no way to guarantee the accuracy. It will hit wherever it hits.

Only a dozen orcs were killed at once, which was a completely acceptable casualty for the Beast King who did not have to charge.

After reacting, they just continued to strengthen their siege orders.

The only change is that the Beast King arranged for more ordinary orcs to enter.

It seems that they want the lives of ordinary orcs and continue to come up to help as a shield.

The orcs continued to chant "Charge!"
More than a dozen new ladders were sent to the front line, passing through the hands of the orcs and sent all the way to the front.

They dreamed of covering the entire city with ladders and building a road leading to the city directly on the battlefield.

Although the orcs charged fiercely, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but have hope in their hearts after seeing Chen Fan's various methods.

Under Chen Fan's arrangement, the first thing to be reduced was the casualty rate.

That's the most straightforward thing.

The new captain brings everyone hope of defending the city.

The orcs, who were hit by several waves of attacks from Deep Valley City, failed to take down Deep Valley City in one go as planned, but instead started a war of attrition.

After all, there are too few places where they can directly cause damage, and the city wall has not been taken down yet.

The only place where the orcs can kill is in front of the wooden door.

On average, more than twenty orcs would have to die to replace a single soldier guarding the city.

Despite this, the crazy charge still did not stop.

The three frontal battlefields suffered a much greater impact.

The conflict became more serious, and the entire battlefield seemed to be stained red with blood.

The killing cries rising to the sky never stopped, making people's ears numb.

The war has begun to heat up!
