"Well, not bad, not bad, push it to the bottom of the castle for me!"
Narant looked at the shape of the ballista. At least in appearance, he could no longer see any difference from his previous life.
Bow arms, arrow beds, bow strings, and an auxiliary winch for bow tensioning are all available.
You can determine whether this first ballista is successful by testing its power later!
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, several carpenters pushed the cart and followed Nalant's horse down the gentle slope towards the castle.
"Everyone gather together!"
Arriving at the gentle slope of the castle, Nalant immediately stopped everyone's training.
"Quick, go to the castle and get two pairs of old leather armors!"
"Yes, sir!"
After hearing this, Quick quickly returned to the castle.
The surrounding guards and bodyguards looked curiously at the crossbow bed behind Nalant.
Because of the existence of extraordinary power, this world has not yet seen such murderous weapons as crossbows. Yes, there are only longbows.
When everyone saw this weird ballista, they felt that it looked a bit like a bow, but not like it. Moreover, the size of this weird thing was too big.
If there was a bow, wouldn't it be necessary to shoot arrows the size of an arm?
"Sir, do you have any weapons here?" Finally, Vivian couldn't help but speak.
She was already a marksman, and due to her talent, she was particularly interested in shooting objects.
"This is called a crossbow! Just like a longbow, it is used to shoot arrows!"
"Ah? There are really people who shoot arrows!"
"Then...then how thick and long the arrow needs to be!"
The previous guess was confirmed, and the surrounding guards suddenly showed expressions of astonishment.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Nalant smiled and said to the carpenters, "Take out the arrows and show them!"
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Upon hearing this, several carpenters immediately opened a wooden box installed on the side of the ballista.
As the wooden box opened, the carpenter quickly took out a giant arrow.
The length of this arrow is at least 1.8 meters. Although the thickness of the arrow shaft is not as terrifying as the forearm of an adult, it is still as thick as the wrist of a five or six-year-old child.
Coupled with the gleaming, Mitsubishi-shaped arrow, everyone felt a cold air coming from their backs.
With such a big arrow, it would be unlucky not to mention hitting the body, but even just grazing it.
"Sir, the leather armor is here!"
At this time, Quick just returned from the castle, holding two old leather armors in his hands.
Originally, it was not refurbished because it was not too damaged, but now it can be used as a target.
"Quick, stack these two pieces of leather armor together, and then tie them to the big tree two hundred meters away!"
"Ah? Sir, is it two hundred meters?" Quick was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the big and scary arrow, and he was a little doubtful that it could be launched so far. .
"Go ahead, it's only two hundred meters away!"
This is also the result of Nalant's lack of confidence. According to the bed crossbow in the previous life, the range will not be less than 1,800 steps, and it is said that the furthest one can reach 1,500 meters.
Of course, his bed crossbow in another world cannot be compared with the ancients in previous lives. After all, he only chose the simplest structure according to the gourd.
If you want to shoot farther, you must need a more sophisticated structure.
"Yes, sir!" After being confirmed again, Quick did not dare to neglect and immediately ran towards several big trees in the open space in the distance.
Nalant also began to ask the carpenter to turn the direction of the crossbow, and then pulled the string of the crossbow.
Click, click, click!
Buzz!
As the winch pulled, the crossbow string made of wind blade wolf sinew made a buzzing sound.
When the surrounding guards saw this scene, they gasped. Even pulling a bow string required two people to operate the winch with all their strength. They had never seen such a weapon before.
To them, this is no different than ordinary people seeing cannons in previous lives.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the crossbow string was finally pulled into the machine position, and then two carpenters carefully placed the scary-sized arrows into the arrow bed.
"Lord, preparations are complete!"
"Well, stand down!" Nalant nodded, feeling a little expectant in his heart, "Vivian, you will be responsible for aiming!"
"Yes, sir!"
Vivian was not at all afraid of this big guy, but rather eager to give it a try.
In the distance, Quik had already led two guards to fix the leather armor on the big tree where one person was hugging him!
"Sir, we have already taken aim!"
Quick and others just returned, and Vivian also finished aiming with the crossbow at the end.
If Vivian hadn't been there, Nalant wouldn't have been so confident that he could aim at a piece of leather armor two hundred meters away, but he wasn't worried now.
Nodding, Nalant came directly to the side of the ballista.
Then under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nalant held a wooden pole on the side of the crossbow, which held the trigger of the crossbow.
Boom!
Whoosh!
As a muffled sound came and the car slave shook slightly, everyone saw a giant black light shooting out.
Because the crossbow arrow was so huge, the black shadow was visible to the naked eye. Even everyone could clearly see the crossbow shaft twisting left and right in the air!
Snapped!
The crossbow arrow arrived in an instant, and the next moment there was a crisp sound from two hundred meters away, and the giant arrow accurately hit the big tree.
For a moment, all the guards were stunned.
At this moment, there was no need to worry about whether the two pieces of leather armor could protect against the crossbow arrows.
Because everyone clearly saw sawdust flying behind the big tree, and most of the crossbow arrows were directly inserted into the trunk.
The second half of the crossbow broke directly because it could not withstand the huge inertia.
quiet!
For a moment, the guards could only stand there dumbfounded.
That's a big tree with a person hugging it, and most of it was shot into.
If it were their place...
Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Especially barbarians like Raymond. In the past, they had the courage to take bows and arrows with their bodies, but at this moment they couldn't help but touch their bodies.
If he was shot by this thing, his fist would probably be able to penetrate from his chest to his back.
"mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
After being stunned for a moment, everyone finally came to their senses. They looked at the ballista in awe, and looked at Nalant with eyes filled with admiration.
"Let's go over and see what the damage is like!"
The power of this ballista also exceeded Nalant's own expectations. If he had known in advance that it was so powerful, why would he waste two old leather armors?
Judging from the current situation, there is absolutely no problem with the range of his crossbow of five to six hundred meters, but within two to three hundred meters, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.
If it reaches more than 100 meters, even the Bronze Knight will probably rush into the street.
When Nalant led a group of subordinates to the big tree, the power of the crossbow was more clearly displayed before his eyes.
I saw that the two leather armors had been completely penetrated and penetrated the arrow shafts.
But half of the crossbow arrow, which was originally about 1.8 meters, was buried in the trunk of the tree.
When Nalant came to the back of the tree trunk, although the crossbow arrow could not completely penetrate the big tree, the trunk behind it had bulged and cracked. Obviously, it was not far away from being shot through!
"Good!" Nalant finally couldn't help but praise again. With such a sharp weapon, whether defensive or offensive, the combat effectiveness of his territory can be greatly enhanced.
Then Nalant looked at the carpenters and said, "Each of you go to the steward to receive a reward of fifty silver coins!"
"This is only a temporary reward. When you imitate the trebuchet, each of you will not only get one gold coin, but when the new stone house is allocated, you will also have priority!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your generosity!" After hearing this, several carpenters immediately knelt on the ground excitedly!
