late at night.

The Fire Army entered the position, and 50,000 people were arranged in full force. The Yan Shen Legion and the Silver Screen Legion on the right were divided into front and back sequences, guarding Fenglai City together to strategically attack the northern part of Fenglai City. In the middle of the night, the sound of horse hooves and the yells of soldiers were connected together, and anyone could feel the suffocation momentum of the war.

In the distance, a large number of Mo Lin knights have appeared in the jungle in the north of Fenglai City and are gathering. There seems to be no sign of attack yet. Most of them are waiting for dawn. I think the night battle ability of Mo Lin knights should not be too strong, or the immortal Sturem wants to defeat the last main legion of the Light camp in one go during the day.

Riding on the black marsh, walking in the sequence of the fire army. When I brought Zhang Lingyue and Chai Lu to the camp, I saw heavy artillery and crossbows on standby. In addition, there were rows of crossbow stone cannons. The principles of these crossbow stone cannons were similar to those of crossbow arrows. They placed more round stones in the arrow groove and shot with thick and long bowstrings. Generally speaking, they were shot diagonally towards the sky, and threw the huge stones into the enemy formation to obtain a certain killing effect.

However, the attack effect of crossbow stone cannons is much worse than that of heavy cannons and bed crossbows.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

When Zhang Lingyue saw me staring at the crossbow stone cannon in a daze, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Is there any problem with this... stone cannon?"

“A little bit.”

I gently patted the cold wood of the crossbow stone cannon and asked, "Zhang Lingyue, if this crossbow stone cannon is flat and fired, how far can it be hit?"

"Let it be flat?"

Zhang Lingyue smiled slightly: "You will know after trying it. Come on, let's put it flat, and try to shoot a stone cannon."

"Yes, sir!"

Three soldiers operated, two people pulled the bowstring, one of them filled the stone in the groove, and then adjusted the direction. Suddenly, the entire crossbow stone cannon was flat and aimed at a clearing on the left. With a "bang", the force was beyond my expectations. This huge rock actually flew out of nearly fifty meters flat before it rolled into the grass.

"That's how..."

I looked at the crossbow stone cannon, walked forward in person, looked at the fine scale on it, and found that the scale used was actually 360 degrees. So I gently adjusted the firing direction of the crossbow stone cannon to a level of 15 degrees above the horizontal slope and said, "Come again to show me."

"yes!"

This time, the stone cannon flew nearly a hundred meters to the ground with a "swoosh", but the height at the front of the flight was slightly higher, about three meters. It was not until the position of 40-100 meters that it re-entered the ground-off height of 0-2 meters, which means it was the real killing range.

"Sir, what are you... going to do?"

Zhang Lingyue was confused.

"Flame Thorn Demon."

I turned around and looked at him and said, "Zhang Lingyue, do you know creatures like the Fire Thorn Demon?"

"Who doesn't know?"

Zhang Lingyue's face changed slightly, and he said, "Isn't it the important places such as Yanmen Pass, Huoling County, etc. captured by the alien demon legion because of the attack of the flame sting demon? But sir, what does this flame sting demon have to do with the crossbow stone cannon?"

I pondered, looked at the crossbow stone cannon and said, "The most terrifying thing about the flame stinger demons is self-destruction. Their self-destruction power is too strong, and the city defense cannot stop it. The effect of the flame stinger demon breaking formation is similar. Once it self-destructs, even our Iron Step Camp will definitely not be able to stop that terrible explosion power. However... I have studied some flame stinger demons, and they will immediately explode when they are hit by heavy objects. I think the weight and speed of the crossbow stone cannon should be enough to trigger such self-destruction."

Zhang Lingyue is so smart: "I understand, sir, you want to use crossbow stone cannons to deal with the flame sting demon, right?"

"Yes."

I gently stroked the cold bracket of the crossbow stone cannon and smiled: "This kind of broken thing has been almost abandoned by the empire. It is a tool that is about to be eliminated by the times. This time, it may be able to tie our busy schedule. Zhang Lingyue, how many crossbow stone cannons do we have in total?"

"Forehead……"

He thought for a while and said, "These crossbows and stone cannons were transported directly to us from the material warehouse when we were traveling through the Northern Wilderness Province. He said that these heavy and worn-out things would only produce borers if they were kept. They simply pulled them all to us for fireflying troops. Then we should use them or chop firewood to keep warm. Therefore, my subordinates carefully selected a total of 3,000 crossbows and stone cannons, all of which were here."

"That's how..."

I frowned: "The material warehouse in Fenglaicheng is very sufficient, so there should be one. You can apply for it. What is the amount you can bring."

"ah?"

Zhang Lingyue was stunned: "I am just a deputy commander. I have not applied for the power of wartime supplies yet. Sir, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Don't worry, since it's something no one wants, as long as you speak, I believe the qualifier will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Okay, let's try it out."

...

As soon as Zhang Lingyue left, I immediately turned around and looked at the veteran Chai Lu and said, "Chai Lu is in charge."

"Sir, the veteran is here!"

Chai Lu immediately clasped her fists solemnly and waited for the order.

I touched the stone cannons placed on the wooden cart. Each of these stones was about the size of a basketball. They were round as a whole, but they were not particularly round. They were just a little chiseled with rugged edges, but perhaps this would be the maximum lethality. So I said to Chai Lu: "Look for stones like stone cannons from the surrounding mountains, and then make them for me to make the more shells the stone cannons, the better."

"ah?"

Chai Lu was stunned: "But sir, these stones need stonemasons to chisel. Although there are many stonemasons born in our Fire Legion, we don't even have a hammer and cannot make them!"

"Then just mobilize the stonemasons from Fenglaicheng, hurry up and work overnight. How much can you make? Let me tell you, don't slack off. These stones are related to the life and death of our brothers in the Fire Legion!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Although Chai Lu was not clear about it, he obeyed my words. After all, after repeated battles, my torpedo tactics were originally something that everyone didn't understand when the battle in the Northern Wilderness Province, but later it was proved to be effective one by one. This time, the Fire Legion could only rely on this crossbow stone cannon if he wanted to resist the self-destruction tactics of the Flame Thorn Demon.

...

Not long after, Zhang Ling returned, his face full of excitement, and said with a smile: "Master, the master is a clever idea. When I spoke, the quarantine officer in the material warehouse actually gave us five thousand crossbow stone cannons that had just been made without saying a word. He gave us a lot of stones, saying that other legions didn't want these materials at all. Since the Liuhuo Legion sent someone to collect them, they would give them all."

"Hahahaha, God helps me too..."

I smiled and said, "Zhang Lingyue, all the positions of these crossbow stone cannons are advanced forward, and they are arranged in the Iron Buying Camp. After the first defense line of the Shengong Camp, the firepower of the crossbow stone cannons must be maintained to cover the positions of the entire fire army. In addition, you should inform all soldiers who operate crossbow stone cannons that the level of crossbow stone cannons is 15 degrees up when the crossbow stone cannon is launched, and the effective killing distance is 40-100 meters. It must be controlled well. Once the crossbow stone cannon attack, everyone in the front line will kneel down to defend to avoid being affected by crossbow stone cannons."

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhang Lingyue was excited and lowered his voice and laughed: "Sir, I heard that the Flame God Legion and the Knights Templar have suffered great losses under the Flame Thorn Demon's men, and even formed a Death Soldier Camp to deal with the Flame Thorn Demon. This time, will it be the case that our Fire Legion teaches them how to fight the Flame Thorn Demon?"

"Maybe."

I smiled slightly: "Go and prepare quickly. If necessary, our Fire Legion will also prepare for the Death Soldiers Camp, which has been needed from time to time."

"Don't worry, sir, our brothers can kill everyone when they need it. Before going to war, everyone has already expressed their attitude."

"That's good."

After a while, Chai Lu returned with thousands of stonemasons, so the sound of "ding Ding Dangdang" axe and chiseling stones soon came from the positions of the Liuhuo Legion, which seemed a little out of place with the armor and weapons that the other legions were actively preparing for war.

...

"Fengxiang inspects the position!"

In the distance, someone suddenly shouted, and then Gao Guanbo led a scholarly white-clothed Qing Xiang riding a majestic white horse, surrounded by a group of generals to patrol the front positions, and walked through the positions of the Silver Screen Legion, Yunxi Legion, and Yan Shen Legion one by one, with a smile in his eyes, but when he came to our Liuhuo Legion position, he listened to the "ding ding ding" sound of the stonemasons chiseled axe in his ears, and he couldn't help but say "oh", but he didn't know whether he was surprised or suddenly realized.

"The wind is coming!"

A group of people reminded each other that even the stonemasons stopped their work.

"Don't stop, continue!"

I rode the black shark, waved my hand directly, and ordered the stonemasons to continue working, while Chai Lu held the sword and said in a low voice: "Continue to work, hurry!"

Looking at the scene of the stonemasons working under the dim bonfire, accompanied by the hammers, chisels and rocks rubbing out of Mars, the wind slowly stopped the war horses and said with a smile: "Ah...this?"

I stepped forward and said respectfully, "See the wind."

"Um."

The wind blows his sleeves and smiles: "The commander does not need to be polite, so... other legions are actively preparing for war, preparing equipment, weapons and food, and Lord Liuhuo here... but he is digging the mountains and quarrying. May I ask, why is this?"

I reached out and pointed to the neat crossbow stone cannons in the distance, and said, "I am ordering people to make the launching materials for crossbow stone cannons."

"Cross crossbow cannon?"

Feng Buwen glanced at it and smiled, "This kind of antique that no one has used is unexpectedly added to the blue eyes of Lord July Liuhuo. This is really... unexpected."

I smiled awkwardly: "There is no way. I have seen the powerful people of the Immortal Legion. The regular array of warfare methods, our Fire Legion may not have any chance of winning. We can only think of other ways and take a different approach."

"Um."

The wind did not hear or intervened, and rode his horse by, saying meaningfully: "Your Majesty is also a pair of blue eyes to you, do it well!"

"yes!"

Looking at Feng Buyin's back, I slowly clasped my fists: "Thank you Feng Xiang!"
Chapter completed!
