I saw the slaves near the machine put a huge sphere into the machine, and then began to pull the rope at the other end...

Just listening to the sound of "Hu--", the huge sphere was instantly projected by the machine and flew towards them.

"How is that possible? That's actually a trebuchet!?" Melibra paled in shock, "Isn't the trebuchet used to siege cities? How could it move?"

Melibra didn't understand the principle at all. In his mind, the trebuchet was not like that at all. The real trebuchet should be a tall and complex machine, and it must spend several hours on the scene before attacking the city. Build to use, and no mobility at all.

In fact, the catapult used by the Pharaoh Army is a newer type of small mobile catapult designed by Ye Ting, or it can also be called a catapult. Although it does not have the powerful range and strength of a real catapult, it can be pulled when pulled. It is very convenient to use in battle.

I saw the flying stone-like sphere was launched by the trebuchet, and then slammed into the rear of the Herakliopolis Army. The ground was immediately smashed into a big hole, and the two unlucky ones were smashed into meat sauce.

"It's okay, it's okay, it hit the end."

Although Melibra wondered why only one of the trebuchets had started, he was secretly glad that it did not hit the formation. What he was most worried about was not how many people were killed, but that the stone throwing would disrupt the formation of the phalanx.

In the Cold Weapon War, no matter how bells and whistles the so-called formation is, the core point is only one point, that is, local people beat more people and fewer people.

Therefore, a tight formation is quite important.

However, Melibra didn't know that this sling was just a calibration, similar to how modern artillery fired a calibration bullet.

The trebuchet designed by Ye Ting naturally has a relatively reliable scale.

After the stone throwing data was determined through this attack, the real attack was about to begin.

Chapter 0849 Magic Artillery

What Melibra didn't notice was that besides the working slaves next to each trebuchet, there would be one or two people dressed in elegant robes and holding pen and paper.

Just as artillery requires good mathematics, so does the trebuchet designed by the rigorous mage Ye Ting. These people in cloth robes are the real operators of the trebuchet. Before each trebuchet is activated, they must Responsible for providing data for adjusting weights.

The best of them will lead the shot, shoot the corrective rounds, and then determine the weight data.

Such people often have the greatest credit in the war among their colleagues, so after the establishment of the "artillery unit", Egypt set off a small boom in mathematics learning.

After a person who was in charge of the first shot was not accurate, the person in charge of the shot immediately calculated nervously, and soon he came up with the data, and then shouted for all the trebuchets to be adjusted.

When the two armies were about one hundred and twenty paces apart, the trebuchets attacked again.

And this time, it was a volley.

More than a dozen gigantic spheres were thrown out, drawing beautiful parabolas in the air.

With the familiar "whoosh——" sound, Melibra and the soldiers under his command were all in danger for a while, and no one wanted to be smashed into pieces by these spheres.

Melibra had begun to pray to the gods, and this time the trebuchet was not accurate.

However, the blessings of the gods are no match for strict calculations.

This time, the landing points of the trebuchets were all in the middle of the enemy's formation, and the error between different trebuchets was quite small, which showed the accuracy of the trebuchets themselves.

Compared with the previous throw, the result of this attack was much more tragic.

This is not just because of the number of trebuchets and where they hit, but also because of the difference in the throws.

I saw a round of spherical stone bullets falling into the formation almost at the same time, and many soldiers were smashed into meat sauce at that time.

However, something even scarier happened.

"boom--"

"Boom-"

The falling stone bomb produced a huge explosion, and the nearby soldiers were either blown away by the violent airflow, or were blown up with blood by the flying gravel, and even many unlucky people were directly cut by the gravel.

Within a radius of dozens of meters, it was instantly empty.

Mai Libra was stunned. He didn't expect that the stone bomb would explode, or was it the punishment of the gods?

After all, only the Thunder of God's Punishment can have such an effect.

Melibra is still a knowledgeable person, even he would think so, those ignorant ordinary soldiers naturally shouted in horror.

"It's divine punishment, that's divine punishment!"

"This is the end of being an enemy of Pharaoh!"

"God is angry!"

Melibra's subordinates became a mess in an instant, and even the elite guards around him had the urge to escape.

"That's not divine punishment, it's the enemy's sorcery!" Seeing this, Melibra immediately reacted and began to command loudly, "The whole army will attack, everyone will charge and destroy the enemy's props, otherwise the enemy's props will be destroyed. Black magic will kill us all."

Melibra did have two strokes. He had a lot of prestige in the army, so his decisive decision immediately had good results. Most of the soldiers believed his words, so they immediately launched a charge towards the enemy.

The price is that their formations are immediately scattered.

However, for Melibra, this is already the best outcome, better than the collapse of the army and the soldiers running away.

So, where did this exploding stone bomb come from?

Of course, Ye Ting did not use gunpowder weapons in this era.

In fact, these exploding stone bullets are the effects of magic.

Although Ye Ting formed a war mage group for Nitocris, in fact, the role of the war mage group is not just to use spells to strike the enemy on the battlefield.

They can do much more.
