Chapter 551 Setting Up Ballistas

? Ye Xi continued to invest in the improvement of ballistas.

He installed brass racks on both sides of the crossbeam of the ballista, which made the bow of the ballista more efficient, and could adjust the projectile force to obtain the required range. In addition, he also designed a set of gears and chains to make the arming and loading of the ballista semi-automatic.

The problem that the ballista was too slow to open the bow has been completely solved.

The development of ballistas came to an end. Xicheng began to manufacture ballistas and giant bronze spears on a large scale, formed a ballista team, and trained ordinary people who could not become soldiers to become ballistas.

two months later.

On a slightly hot day, the ballista officially appeared in front of all Xicheng people.

The ballista players carried the parts of the ballista with their heads held high and strode through the crowd, went straight to the towering city wall, and climbed to the top of the city wall along the stone ladder on the edge of the city wall.

Many Xicheng soldiers along the road were attracted by their movement and followed them all the way.

The strong fighters relied on their good jumping ability to bend their knees and jump directly onto the city wall.

Regardless of everyone's curious eyes, the ballista players were busy and skillfully assembled the ballista.

The torch of the Ganqi tribe looked at it for a while, and found Pingyao who was helping out among the group of people, pulled it over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Pingyao was in a good mood today, and he didn't show off, he smiled and said: "We are assembling the ballista, do you know the ballista? These big guys can shoot spears!"

"Calista?" Torch's eyes lit up, "I know the crossbow. Tushan has a crossbow team. I have seen their training. Those arrows are accurate and ruthless, but the arrows are too small to be effective. .”

"Is this ballista of yours similar to Tu Shan's? It just shoots spears instead?"

Pingyao didn't expect that he could quickly associate crossbow arrows, so he glanced at him unexpectedly.

"That's right, a ballista is somewhat similar to a crossbow."

The interest in Torch's eyes became stronger, his eyes swept over the giant bronze spears scattered on the ground like a spotlight, and he thought to himself, these giant spears are as thick as his arm, and longer than two big men stacked, this is How powerful is it that a guy called Ballista can throw such a huge spear?

Juxin was itchy, put Pingyao's shoulder sleeve and approached: "How about giving me a ballista? I don't want you for nothing, I will exchange the beast core!"

Pingyao shook off Ju's arm in disgust: "This ballista does not belong to me,

I have no right to trade with you. Besides, we have set up a ballista team, and all the ballistas belong to them. "

Ju was not happy: "When the ballista team was established, why don't I know, can their strength be as strong as mine?"

Pingyao smiled: "These people who are assembling ballistas are ballistas. Do you want to compete with them?"

Torch frowned.

Most of the people who assembled the ballista were ordinary people, even middle-aged men or middle-aged women who lost their reproductive function, or disabled people with missing arms and legs, not even a strong man.

Because these people are not physically strong enough, they may not be able to survive the pain of the soldiers' awakening, so they are not qualified to become reserve soldiers. They usually rely on grinding stone tools or doing other odd jobs to subsidize them.

And the ballista team is actually composed of such ordinary people?

Isn't it a joke to choose such a person to control such a powerful weapon?

What a waste, what a waste!

Ju's temper was violent and he wanted to get angry on the spot. He was scrupled that there were ordinary people in front of him, so he suppressed it abruptly: "...Since it is the ballista team, what about the captain? Who is the captain? I'll go talk to him."

Pingyao raised his head forward: "Here, that's him, Xiuyang from the Liao tribe."

Ju followed his line of sight angrily looked over, and then froze in place.

what did he see.

...an old man with gray hair?

torch:"……"

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the city wall.

Pingyao grabbed him reflexively: "What's wrong?"

Ju Chaotian rolled his eyes: "Let's go, go to the Colosseum for training."

The Ballista team is made up of such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. If you want to come to the Ballista, it is nothing more than that. It is better to spend more time on training if you waste time here.

"Are you sure?" Ping Yao raised his eyebrows, "This ballista was invented by Mr. Xi Wu."

Pause, turn around,

"Master Xiwu invented it?"

He changed his attitude instantly: "Then let's have a look."

Ye Xi has such a magical power in the hearts of Xicheng people. Everyone, especially the people in the Black Ridge Mountains and Nu River Valley who migrated with Ye Xi, almost blindly trust Ye Xi.

Pingyao didn't laugh at him, just said: "I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you stay, if it's normal I don't talk to you, let you regret it!"

"Also, here's another piece of news for you, Mr. Xiwu has taken us pottery workers to the grassland..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of loud shouts from around.

"Look at the sky!"

"Master Xiwu, it is Master Xiwu who is back!"

"Ah, Lord Xiwu's battle beast, the beast of prey, is so domineering..."

Pingyao and Ju looked up.

In the light blue sky, a gorgeous purple-red color appeared, and the purple-red color expanded rapidly. With a gust of wind that seemed to blow people up, the relic species of the wilderness landed gracefully on the city wall.

Ye Xi jumped off the top of the bird's head.

"Master Xiwu!"

At this moment, whether it was the people who were assembling the ballista or the soldiers watching, they all saluted respectfully.

Ye Xi smiled and nodded.

In the next moment, three Liyang birds with the same size flew straight towards the city wall, and everyone hurriedly backed away to make room for them to land.

Zhuo, Hongmo, and Dayan jumped off the Liyang bird.

Except for Dayan, both of them had stinky faces and looked at Ye Xi unkindly.

Zhuo spat on the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "You brat, you've become his follower..."

Because their task is to ensure the safety of the bird, so every time Ye Xi rides away on the bird, they have to follow behind, protecting Ye Xi's safety in a disguised form, and become his followers.

The leader of the dignified super big tribe's high-level hunting team, who lives in the small Xicheng as a follower, is shocked to the point of view.

Pingyao walked up to Ye Xi: "Lord Xiwu, have you found the giant beast yet?"

Ye Xi nodded: "I found a few mutated hammer-nosed thunder beasts in the grassland, and now your people are leading them here."

Ping Kiln rubbed his hands.

He knew that the hammer-nosed thunder beast was about the size of a gray elephant, but how big would this mutant hammer-nosed thunder beast be? Really been waiting!

"Ah……"

Hong Mo sneered.

Everyone looked, Hong Mo looked back contemptuously.

They went to the grassland with Ye Xi just now, so they clearly saw what kind of huge mutant beast the Xicheng people provoked. If the mutated Hammer-nosed Thunder Beasts were not stopped in time, they would definitely break down the towering city wall under their feet and break into the city.

At that time, Xicheng must have suffered heavy losses.

It's just crazy.
