Chapter 189: Make a big bowl of fried noodles

Everyone looked at those heavy vehicles with fear, but they were covered with oilcloth, but they couldn't see anything strange.

Everything above and below the city fell silent for a moment.

There is a sense of uneasiness and panic in the air.

At this time, the huge machinery had been pushed to the position several hundred meters away. The big men pushing the carts shouted and got busy.

Someone picked up a heavy hammer and swung it, knocking off the wheels in one fell swoop, and then tore off the oilcloth, exposing the huge machinery to the air.

The people on the top of the city immediately panicked.

"It's King David."

"It's King David."

"..."

People shouted randomly one after another. Everyone's face was earth-colored and extremely depressed.

Seeing everyone's panic, Lorraine couldn't help but frown, and shook his fingers slightly dissatisfied. The inspector next to him immediately ran out, waving his flag and loudly issuing orders.

After the "military police" standing behind the soldiers received the "suppression order" from the supreme commander, the commanders at all levels immediately felt ashamed. Because this was their own job, but in panic and negligence, they

Forgot.

After receiving Lorraine's "kind reminder", these scoundrels went even harder to make up for their mistakes. They slapped the big-headed soldiers hard again, making them scream.

, and then finally became honest under the scoldings of the officers.

Lorraine listened and found that no one was shouting in panic anymore, and everyone fell silent. Then he picked his ears with satisfaction and cursed in a low voice: "These damn bastards really can't survive without beating~"

!”

(Afterwards, when Lorraine accepted the war case inquiry meeting, she was severely criticized by the dean of the Military Academy: "It's so immature. You should have used a knife. As long as you kill a few, they will be honest.")

Come down. You are so merciful."

But the old guy just said this in private.")

He stood up slowly, ignoring the resentful looks cast by the soldiers beside him, then held onto the crenellations of the battlement wall with his hands and looked carefully to the opposite side.

At first glance, Lord Lorraine couldn't help but be disappointed. What kind of bullshit 'King David' was just a giant trebuchet~!

These guys are so pretentious that they actually gave a trebuchet such an awesome name. They always like to brag about it. Even if they grab a carrot, they call it 'a major victory' and then deceive everyone.

The stupid people in the village are as good as the Japanese army who organized a lantern parade.

Catherine stood by and watched.

As the governor of the East, she worked as a rear guard and vigorously transported supplies to the front line to support the war mongering Archduke Julius, so she knew very well about these military equipment. She also had a look on her face when she saw several trebuchets launched by the other side.

of surprise.

She turned her head and saw the disapproving look on Lorraine's face. She was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy and introduced in a low voice: "Lorraine, be careful. These are giant trebuchets with a long range and can be loaded with kerosene.

, stone bullets and other kinds of ammunition, which are powerful.

And unlike weapons such as magic cannons, it does not require magic or the support of the holy power of the Holy See. It only relies on mechanical power to shoot continuously without interruption. It can be said that it is the most powerful thing that humans can create so far.

The most powerful mechanical weapon.

Because of this, people named it after the trebuchet used by King David to kill the Gath warrior Goliath.”

She paused, looked at the heavy plumb bob under the trebuchet opposite, and continued: "Look at these trebuchets, each one weighs about 20 tons and is super heavy. Each one is worth a lot of money. These guys

It's true that they were willing to spend money. They even sent out more than twenty vehicles to besiege a castle."

Only then did Lorraine wake up. These trebuchets were nothing new for a person like him who came from the era of mechanized production, but for people of this era, their power was no less than that of a trebuchet.

The powerful railway cannon used in battle - the Paris Cannon.

Lorraine looked at the positions of the trebuchets, then stretched out his thumb, squinted his eyes, and made a brief comparison.

Leo looked at his appearance and couldn't help but feel strange. He blinked his big, bright black eyes. Then he shook his little head and squeezed past Catherine.

He stood nearby, biting his fingers hesitantly, and finally couldn't help his natural curiosity and asked: "Boss, what are you doing? Are you those evil-minded guys who have studied in the magic academy?"

, draw a circle and curse them to death?"

The rest of the people had also been aroused by Lorraine's action for a long time, but they couldn't ask directly.

"Commander, are you dancing?"

Once these words were uttered, Lord Lorraine, in anger, gave that blind guy a gleaming, extremely sharp nail clipper, and then kicked him down the city to serve as a death squad.

A brave man's charge.

Therefore, everyone looked eagerly this way.

Lorraine smiled, stretched out her finger, and said: "This is a measurement method. Straighten your arm, take one centimeter from the nail of your thumb, and compare it with the approximate height of the person opposite. After a little comparison and calculation, you can calculate a relatively accurate distance.

.”

Seeing that there was no magic to play with, Leo immediately sighed in disappointment and said, "Oh, that's it."

The officers nearby listened and looked at each other with astonishment. Accurate distance measurement has always been one of the difficult problems in the military.

But Lorraine discovered what no one had thought before, and solved this problem easily with just a few words. (Napoleon, Napoleon, when the fat man built the pontoon bridge to cross the river, he seemed to have carried out similar measurements, and

It seems to be quite complicated, and the time at this time is already 1805. This shows how slow the progress of knowledge is.)

These guys are almost going crazy.

They all looked at their commander with strange eyes, their eyes filled with blazing flames.

Lorraine has already given them too many surprises. First, he wrote a book called "On War" that was difficult for everyone to memorize. Although this bastard often delayed the manuscript with excuses, he was the scum of scum.

But no matter what, this book alone is enough to make him a famous military master in history.

Then came scripts, novels, reforming steel, making carriages, wind mills and waterwheels, and later springs and balls...

If a person can make just one of these things, it will be enough to comfort him for the rest of his life. But he still keeps taking out one item after another, surprising people every time and giving them a refreshing feeling.

Is there really an amazing genius in this world who is known from birth?

If it weren't for the fact that they were on the battlefield, these guys would have launched a mutiny, kidnapped Lorraine, and then, as Leo often said, 'Burn the island, cut pork, pepper water, tiger bench, Jiuhua Mountain Ten

The Eight Bronze Man Arhat Formation, the Ten Major Tortures of the Qing Dynasty...', use all that can be used, and you must take all the knowledge out of Lorraine's mouth.

At this time, I saw that the trebuchets on the opposite side had been slowly assembled. The throwing arms, which were more than ten meters long, were erected high, piercing the sky like sharp swords.

Everyone immediately seemed like ants on a hot pot, scurrying back and forth anxiously.

Catherine also coughed slightly from the side and reminded: "Lorraine, do you want to fight? If you don't send people to attack and destroy them, when they are all standing up, we will only be beaten."

When Lorraine saw the people on the opposite side running back and forth, assembling the trebuchet in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but sigh softly and murmured: "I know, I know..."

He held the crenel with his hand and thought to himself: The distance chosen by the opponent was just right, just outside the range of the ballista.

Although the magic ray on the castle magic tower is powerful, it charges slowly and can only be used as a trump card. Before the location of the opponent's great magician is found and the opponent's humanity is destroyed, the opponent may face an extremely critical situation.

, but dare not use it easily...

"I didn't expect that I'm quite good at fighting~!"

Opposite Lorraine, the burly and dignified old Despey was sitting upright with his back straight, holding a slender bayonet in his hand, and sitting in front of the painting of the Almohad Empire.

It is similar to the 'Lion' of the Impressionist painters, but it looks like a 'Pig's Head' under the banner.

He looked ahead with a proud look on his face, and saw that there was still no movement above Maple Leaf Danlin Castle. He couldn't help but wiped his smooth and shiny beard that had been coated with sesame oil, laughed, and said: "It seems that Maple Leaf

Danlimburg is no big deal~!”

A general with a wispy beard next to him bowed and said in a deep voice: "Sir, according to the rules, we should send troops to pretend to attack Maple Leaf Danlin Fort at this time to contain their troops and prevent them from taking action.

To prevent them from sending troops to destroy our trebuchet troops."

When Old Despey heard this man bluntly pointing out his shortcomings, he immediately changed his face.

He snorted coldly, brushed his long sleeves embroidered with white lace dismissively, and scolded unceremoniously: "You are a bunch of stubborn Qiu Ba, what do you know about strategies and tactics?"

He paused for a moment and then continued: "Over the years, during the hunting in the royal paddock, His Majesty often rushed to the front for pleasure and was responsible for commanding the battle, but I, a loyal minister, did it all the time.

I am so tired that I am exhausted.”

As he said this, his eyes shone with light.

The officers couldn't help but look at each other. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they despised this extraordinary general in their hearts. They cursed in their hearts: An old rabbit actually climbed on our heads. This is ridiculous enough.

As for the royal hunt? Don’t think we don’t know that the royal family has long since lost its original spirit and has become a gathering of gossiping old ladies who only know how to shoot pheasants and hunt hares.

But "the bigger the official, the more he knows." This first iron rule of bureaucracy is universal among civil servants. It is even more universal among military officers. It can even be said to be a truth that applies to everyone.

Although these Qiu Ba people cannot summarize this law philosophically, they know it very clearly in their hearts.

Old Despey pointed at the castle and said proudly: "Do you think I haven't thought about your method? I am playing a very big game of chess."

Everyone immediately remembered a famous line from Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, "I'm making a big, big bowl of fried noodles." Their hearts raced and they looked weird.

Some even sneered lowly.

Old Despey was so proud at this time that he didn't pay attention and continued: "According to reliable information, the castle opposite is seriously lacking in troops. So I deliberately placed the trebuchet closer to the front.
To be continued...
