The Era of Generals

How did you do it?

Not to mention General Fang who knew nothing outside the city, even Xu Qing, who watched Chen Ze arrange with his own eyes, was also confused at this time.

He knew what Chen Ze had done.

After running to the square to carve the coordinate axis for the catapult, Chen Ze called all the soldiers responsible for launching the catapult.

Chen Ze's so-called class was to teach these soldiers to recognize the coordinate axes he engraved, and he also spent an hour to let them do simulation exercises until they could quickly type the angles he reported.

Fifteen soldiers were required to operate a trebuchet, five to load the ammunition, and ten to pull the lever. Chen Ze also took a lot of effort to teach these one hundred and fifty soldiers to use the coordinate axis.

Xu Qing was listening from the sidelines at the time, and he understood Chen Ze's coordinate axis theory very quickly, but it didn't completely solve his doubts.

It is true that if you are familiar with the coordinates, you can improve the hit accuracy of the trebuchet. From this point of view, it really opened his eyes.

But the question is, just relying on the different angles, can Chen Ze make the catapult hit farther?

You must know that Chen Ze said just now that in theory, an elevation angle of forty-five degrees is the angle with the longest throwing distance, but it is obviously impossible for the trebuchets on the square to take advantage of this angle, otherwise the fireball will directly hit the home The walls are gone.

Do you want to hit high or go far?

With such doubts, Xu Qing saw that Chen Ze had finished the class and ordered someone to install an extra elastic cable on each trebuchet.

Use pull to increase range?

Seeing this operation, Xu Qing's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.

This is not difficult for him to understand, it is the same as the strong bow used by archers, the stronger the bow, the farther the arrow will be shot, and the more powerful it will be.

But the power required will also increase.

If one elastic cable requires ten people to pull it with all their strength, adding another elastic cable will at least double the force required!

Add more people?

Use twenty men to pull the trebuchet?

Xu Qing shook his head, this method will not work.

Although the trebuchet is not small, but the space directly behind it can accommodate ten people standing on the lever at the same time is the limit, if you double the number of people...

These extra people can only stand on the side to pull, and there will be problems in the direction of the force. If the force cannot be used in one direction, I don’t know if it can double the force, but what Xu Qing knows is that it will definitely affect the ejection. The angle rings into the influence.

If one is not done well, it is very likely to do stupid things like bombarding one's own city wall and making relatives hurt and enemies happy.

You can't pull it from the side, and you can't let someone hug the waist of the soldier in front to help pull it?

It's not pulling carrots.

The soldiers in front couldn't bear the force of the double elastic cable at all, either they couldn't pull it in place, or their hands were pulled off, and they couldn't complete the task either.

Although doubts arose, Xu Qing did not rush to express his suggestions like the previous few times, but wanted to wait until Chen Ze made another operation that caught his eye, so that the doubts in his heart would be cleared up.

But no.

He waited for a while, but saw that after Chen Ze checked all the trebuchets and installed elastic cables as required, he didn't take into account his eager eyes and went back to the tower on his own.

Only Xu Qing, who was at a loss, and the trebuchet soldier who shrugged and spread his hands in bewilderment were left behind.

explain?

how to explain?

How to get the soldiers to pull the doubling elastic cable has already involved Chen Ze's core secrets, and it will not be easy to understand.

After returning to the city tower, the archer just fired a rocket and ignited the last wall of fire. Under the light of the fire, Chen Ze saw the army of poisonous fog gathered behind the wall of fire, ready to attack the city at any time.

The timing was just right.

He smiled, and in his mind, including the general star of Wu'an that he had taken back from Guo Zi, all three general stars he owned had returned to usable status, which meant...

Child hour has come!

"My lord!"

Li Quan'an, who was always by his side, changed his expression and bowed respectfully to Chen Ze.

"You should know what I'm going to do?"

Chen Ze said indifferently, at the same time when the general star was available, he had already injected Cheng Yu's general star into Li Quanan's body. At this time, Li Quanan was the famous minister of Cao Wei—Cheng Yu!

"yes!"

Li Quanan bowed in response.

At the same time as he responded, Cheng Yu's first general skill was also used by him.

General Skill: Ambush!

You can lead soldiers with the limit of dominance to set up an ambush, and within one mile of the ambush, the ambush's combat power will be doubled!

Cheng Yu's military general skill is simply a cheating skill when used in defending the city. All the defenders can be counted as his ambush!

It's just that Cheng Yu's commandable soldiers are long-range soldiers, and melee soldiers can't enjoy this bonus.

But of course, melee units are not used right now.

The so-called long-range, archers count, trebuchet also counts!

Of course, this doubling of combat power does not refer to the trebuchet, but the soldiers who control the trebuchet!

Affected by Cheng Yu's general skills, the one hundred and fifty soldiers beside the catapult stood up straight, and suddenly felt that their whole bodies seemed to be full of strength.

The doubling of combat power brought stronger power to the soldiers, and the crux of Xu Qing's incomprehension disappeared. After Chen Ze reported the attack position, Xu Qing saw in disbelief that it was originally estimated that it would take twenty The trebuchet, which could only be pulled by a soldier, was easily pulled to the scale Chen Ze wanted.

It's not just as simple as being able to pull it apart.

After a round of salvo, these soldiers were like tireless and emotional machines, and continued to start the next round with the most concise movements, and then the next round.

As long as Chen Ze reported the position, the round of ten fireballs would never stop. The crazy scene made Xu Qing's eyelids twitch wildly.

The stronger the pulling force, the farther the ejection distance will be. After solving the strength problem, the range of Chen Ze's trebuchet has been increased by at least 1/2, which is enough to attack the poisonous fog army from within the city!

As the commander of the city defense force of Xiyun City, had he ever seen his soldiers so brave?

This is the strategy Chen Ze came up with to defeat the enemy!

To implement this strategy, the trebuchet is the key. As for placing the trebuchet in the city, Chen Ze is not trying to make a fool of himself, but an indirect aiming method of a war cannon that he accidentally saw when he was reviewing ancient battle cases in his previous life.

On the one hand, this method can be used to confuse the enemy, and on the other hand, it can also solve the problem of insufficient space on the tower and cannot place more trebuchets. When it is used at this time, it really has a significant effect.

Of course, if the strategy is to be successful, the trebuchet and Cheng Yu's ambush skills are indispensable, so this is why Chen Ze wants to wait until the end of the day anyway.

The general trend is set!

When the last siege tower was turned into coke under the fierce artillery fire, the threat of the poisonous fog army to Xiyun City has been minimized.

Without catapults, without siege towers, and even without battering rams, these six or seven thousand people who screamed incessantly wanted to attack the city?

Whether you can get close to the city wall is a problem.

Meng Yang led his group of swordsmen and spearmen back at this time.

"Brother!"

As soon as he got to the top of the city, he shouted excitedly: "Sure enough, you guessed it right, it's just that I didn't enjoy killing enough!"

He was holding a bloody head in his hand, and he was waving at Chen Ze as if asking for credit.

"Not enjoyable enough?"

Chen Ze turned his head and smiled at him, "Will those people outside the city let you kill them?"
