Chapter 551: Erection of Ballista

? Ye Xi continued to devote himself to improving the ballista.

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

The problem of the slow firing of the ballista has been completely resolved.

The development of the ballista came to an end, and 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 fighters to become ballistas.

Two months later.

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

The ballistamen strode through the crowd with their heads high, carrying the parts of the ballista, and went straight to the towering city wall, climbing along the stone ladder on the edge of the city wall to the top of the city wall.

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

Strong fighters relied on their good jumping ability and jumped directly onto the wall with one knee.

Regardless of the curious eyes of the people, the ballistas were busy and skillfully assemble the ballistas.

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

Pingyao is in a good mood today, and he doesn't sell anything, he smiled and said: "We are assembling the ballista, do you know the ballista? These big guys can shoot spears!"

"Ballista?" Torch's eyes lit up, "Bowbow, I know, there is a crossbow arrow team in Tushan. I have seen them train. Those arrows are shot accurately and ruthlessly, but the arrows are a little smaller and can't make much difference. ."

"Your ballista is similar to Tushan's crossbow? It's just a spear instead?"

Hirayao didn't expect that he could quickly think of crossbow arrows, and gave him an unexpected glance.

"Yes, a ballista is a bit like a crossbow."

The interest in Torch’s eyes was more intense, his gaze swept across the giant bronze spears scattered on the ground like a spotlight, and he thought, these giant spears are as thick as his arms, and they are longer than two big men stacked together. The guy called the Ballista can throw such a huge spear, how powerful should it be?

Torch's heart itchy, he draped Pingyao's shoulder sleeves and almost said: "How about giving me a ballista? I don't want you in vain, I will exchange the beast core!"

Pingyao disgusted and threw the torch's arm away: "This ballista is not owned by me. I don't have the right to change it with you. Besides, we have established a special ballista team, and all the ballistas belong to it."

Ju was not happy: "When was the Ballista Team established? How come I don't know, can they be as powerful as I am?"

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

Ju frowned.

Most of the people who assemble ballistas are ordinary people, even middle-aged men or middle-aged women who have lost fertility, or disabled people with missing arms and legs, or even a strong man.

Because these people are not physically strong enough, they may not be able to survive the pain of the warrior's awakening, so they are not qualified to become reserve fighters. They usually rely on sanding tools or other odd jobs, and they are considered to be the lowest level among the civilians in Xicheng.

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?

Spoil it, spoil it!

Torch was violent and wanted to get angry on the spot. He was afraid that there were ordinary people in front of him, and he faltered: "...Since it is a ballista team, what about the captain? Who is the captain? I'll talk to him."

Pingyao raised his head to the front: "Here, it is him, the sheep repairer of the Liao tribe."

Ju followed his gaze and stared angrily, and then his whole body froze in place.

What did he see.

... an old man with gray hair?

torch:"……"

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

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

Ju Chaotian rolled his eyes: "Go, go to the Colosseum for training."

The ballista team is made up of such a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled. It's nothing more than wanting to come to the ballista. It's a waste of time to stay here. It's better to spend more time training.

"Are you sure?" Pingyao raised his eyebrows, "This ballista was invented by Master Xi Wu."

Torch paused and turned around,

"Master Xi Wu invented it?"

He changed his attitude in an instant: "Let's take a look again."

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

Pingyao didn't laugh at him, and only said, "I am in a good mood today. I will stay with you. If I usually ignore you, I will let you regret it!"

"Also, I'll give you another message, Master Xi Wu took our pottery to the grassland..."

Before the words were finished, there was a noisy shout around.

"Look at the sky!"

"Master Xi Wu, Master Xi Wu is back!"

"Ah, Master Xi Wu's war beast flock, so domineering..."

Pingyao and Ju looked up.

A brilliant purple appeared in the light blue sky, and this purple red rapidly expanded. With a gust of wind that seemed to stir up people, the Great Wild Remains flock stopped gracefully on the city wall.

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

"Master Xi Wu!"

At this moment, whether it was the person who was assembling the ballista or the warrior on the sidelines, they saluted respectfully.

Ye Xi smiled and nodded.

The next moment, the three equally large Huyang birds flew straight to the city wall, and everyone hurriedly retreated to make room for them to land.

Zhuo, Hongmo, and Dayan jumped off Huyang Bird.

Except for Da Yan, the faces of both of them were very stinky, and the eyes looking at Ye Xi were very bad.

Burning took a sip, and cursed in a low voice: "Smelly boy, he's a follower..."

Because their task is to ensure the safety of flocks, every time Ye Xi rides flocks to leave, they have to follow behind, protect Ye Xi's safety in disguise, and become his followers.

The captain of the dignified super-big tribe and senior hunting team, nestled in a small Xicheng as a follower, was shocked when he spoke out.

Pingyao walked to Ye Xi: "Master Xi Wu~lightnovelpub.net~ have you found the giant beast?"

Ye Xi nodded: "Find a few mutant hammer-nosed thunder beasts in the grassland, and your people will be attracting them."

Pingyao rubbed his hands.

He knew that the Hammernose Thunder Beast was about the size of the Gray Elephant, but how big would this mutant Hammernose Thunder Beast be? Really been waiting!

"Ah……"

Hong Mo let out a sneer.

Everyone looked at it, and looked back at the past contemptuously.

They went to the grassland with Ye Xi just now, so they clearly saw what kind of huge mutant beast the Xicheng people provoke. If they didn't stop those mutant hammer-nosed thunder beasts in time, they would definitely smash the towering wall under their feet and break into the city.

At that time, Xicheng must have suffered heavy losses.

It's crazy.
