Primitives are stunned

Chapter 628 Monster Siege (26)

The first thing to shoot into the herd was the big fireball fired by the trebuchet.

It's not that the big fireball was launched the fastest, but because the trebuchet was the first to launch.

This kind of big fireball used to defend the city is very easy to make.

At the beginning, the carpenter suggested soaking the foam wood, which is easier to absorb water, in kerosene, and when it is time to launch, ignite it and then launch it.

However, after testing, although such a big fireball looks more bluffing, its lethality is not much.

Because although it will still burn after landing, it has lost the ability to kill afterward.

As long as you are not an idiot, no one will lean on after the power of the big fireball is exhausted.

Later, Wang Hao thought about it and replaced the pickled wood with a smaller kerosene barrel.

In these kerosene barrels, apart from a small barrel of kerosene, an activated black crystal bomb was also placed.

Then the outside of the fire oil barrel is wrapped into a ball with bamboo strips or the like.

When fighting, pour kerosene on the bamboo strips, then ignite and launch them.

After falling to the ground, the black crystal bomb in the fire oil barrel will explode if it cannot withstand the force of the impact.

In this way, the fire oil in the barrel can be fried in all directions.

Because there is a flame burning outside the fireball, the kerosene that is blown out will also be ignited.

In this way, the fireball after the explosion will cause a large area of ​​​​damage.

Sure enough, the fireballs exploded after landing.

Although the power of the explosion was not great, only equivalent to an ordinary firecracker, the kerosene that was blown away turned into a rain of fire, splashing all the beasts around the explosion.

Every fireball formed at least a flame array with a diameter of 20 meters after landing.

Although these fire arrays could not cause instant damage to the herd of beasts, they made the wild beasts that were ignited flustered.

The huge sea of ​​flames produced by the explosion of the sweet fruit forest, coupled with the small sea of ​​flames formed by the explosion of these fireballs, made it feel like a big battle under Hwaseong.

If you ask, what is the most powerful weapon in Hwaseong, then almost everyone knows that it is the ballista.

The ballista is actually an upgraded version of the eight-ox crossbow.

However, due to material reasons, Hwaseong's ballista and the giant ballista used by the ballista can only be manufactured using the system.

Although Wang Hao has accumulated a lot of crossbows in the past few years, the number of crossbows in Hwaseong is really pitifully scarce compared to the eight-ox crossbow whose production process was later cracked by a carpenter.

In the past few years, Hwaseong has not been stagnant.

On the contrary, the entire Hwaseong City has been developing at a very rapid speed after it settled down.

Whether it's muskets or kerosene, or the fireballs just launched and the independent production of eight-ox crossbows, they are all manifestations of Hwaseong's progress in recent years.

Of course, because the toughness problem of the throwing arm of the trebuchet cannot be solved, all the trebuchets in Hwaseong are downloaded using the system.

However, if it is a simple trebuchet that does not have high requirements for distance and accuracy, Hwaseong can easily make it.

Because the production method of the eight-ox crossbow was cracked, the most large number of large-scale cold weapons in the entire Hwaseong, except for the rocket car, was the eight-ox crossbow.

For Wang Hao, making the eight-ox crossbow is not something worth boasting about.

You must know that the Eight-Ox Crossbow was originally a product of ancient times on the earth. Hwaseong has real objects for comparison, and all kinds of carpenter's tools are very complete. If the Eight-Ox Crossbow cannot be made, it will be really surprising .

Rows of eight-ox crossbows are placed between each wall stack.

The base of the ballista can be raised as well as lowered.

After rising, if you attack at the maximum depression angle, you can attack on the top of the city wall to a range of 15 meters from the corner of the city wall.

And if the base is lowered and the shooting angle of the eight-ox crossbow is adjusted to the highest, it can attack the range with an elevation angle of more than 65 degrees.

If it is said that the fireball thrown by the trebuchet is equivalent to the shells on the battlefield, it will strike the enemy's position at random range.

That eight-ox crossbow is equivalent to a calm and precise sniper rifle.

In their eyes, only those advanced creatures rushing towards Huacheng are the only ones.

The attack range of the eight-ox crossbow is very far, but if the distance is too far, its hit rate will drop.

Therefore, after the catapults randomly attacked, the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall waited until those high-level creatures rushed into the attack range of 500 meters before starting to attack.

It's not that the eight-ox crossbow will definitely hit the target within 500 meters.

It's just that compared to the huge size of advanced creatures, at a distance of 500 meters, there is at least a [-]% hit rate.

And this hit rate is already worth firing the eight-ox crossbow.

"800 meters!" The observer looked at the moat and loudly reported the distance in front of the advanced creatures.

"700 meters!"

The soldiers cheered up one after another, and the operator of the Eight Bull Crossbow observed the sight again.

"600 meters!

650 meters!
500 meters! "

At a distance of 500 meters, there was no need to order at all, and the crossbow archers hammered down the mechanism of the eight-horse crossbow one after another.

And after a series of ferocious bowstring rebounds, a series of black iron and wood arrow shafts, thick crossbow arrows with iron arrows shot towards the outside of the city.

If you look down from the sky, you will find hundreds of eight-ox crossbows, like hundreds of thousands of black lightning, rushing towards the herd of beasts.

A second-level lion king is rushing towards Hwaseong.

Its size is bigger than that of the original White Tiger King.

After being the beast king for so many years, this is the first time that this lion king has faced such an aggrieved monster attacking the city.

In the past, it didn't take half a day for the orcs to solve the battle when they attacked the city.

But this time, they were forced to wait for two full days in the cold rain.

This lion king has already thought about how to clean up the people in the city after climbing up to Huacheng.

At this moment, the Lion King suddenly noticed that a small black dot was flying towards it in front of it.

The Lion King's reaction was nothing short of unpleasant.

Although it didn't understand what the black dot was, it still opened its mouth and bit towards it.

However, what the lion king didn't expect was that the little black spot not only broke its big teeth, but also directly hit its belly along its mouth.

By the time the lion king felt the piercing pain, the tip of the crossbow arrow had penetrated its back, rushing out with a large canopy of flesh and blood.

The lion king, who was carried away by the crossbow arrows, killed two or three charging beasts.

After the lion king fell to the ground, he convulsed for a while, and then gradually died.

Although there are not many high-level creatures like the lion king who were directly shot by this wave of crossbow arrows, there are quite a few.
