Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Chapter 523: The Beast Appears (2)

The young man hurriedly said: "In history, the son of King Antigonus, Dmitri Birds, used this machine to successively capture Rhode Island and many other cities, thus earning the nickname of the siege ..."

Listening to historical introductions, Li Du started calling people to assemble this wood giant.

Every day in the camp, many people play here, and he calls for help.

A treasure picker said, "Boss Li, what's the benefit in the future? Do you offer beer?"

Li Dudao: "Drink beer casually, I will have a party after the group is formed, when the guys want to enjoy it!"

I heard that there is a party to play, and people are interested in picking treasures.

In fact, even if there is no party, they are willing to help, after all, the siege tower is a legendary thing. They have only seen it in movies and TV, and never encountered it in reality.

There are many people and powerful people, and even if there are no drawings, relying on everyone's discussions, the parts are quickly assembled.

In addition, Li Du can use Xiao Fei's ability to reverse time, and constantly check the appearance of the siege tower to guide everyone to build it.

The protection room was built first. This is the main body of the siege tower. It is a small solid wood house.

The protective room is a basic building. The ground floor is equipped with steerable wheels. The wheels are also wooden. They are full of people and require two big men to help them.

In addition to the wheels, the other parts of the protective room are mainly composed of hard wooden boards, reinforced by iron nails, and have thick leather hanging layers on the outside.

Hans stroked the thick cowhide connected and said, "Even if this siege tower can't be built in the end, we have something to gain, and these cowhide are very valuable."

Mr. Martin looked at it and said, "This is all old cowhide. It is of little value now. It is a hanging layer to resist the arrows that shoot."

"Is it easy for the cowhide to catch fire? Why should archery attack them? Shouldn't it be a fire attack?" A treasure hunter asked.

Mr. Martin laughed: "Of course, there is also a protective cover outside the cowhide, made of fresh branches, covered with slimy mud, so that it can resist the fire and the flying arrows at the same time."

The protective room was gradually built. Although everyone was exhausted, their spirits were high.

The protective room that appeared in front of them was domineering, with sharp three spikes fixed around it. The spikes resemble lightning, the texture is steel, and rust, but it does not hinder its lethality.

After seeing the spikes, the student said, "Okay, we are right. This is a siege tower that looks like a Greek style. Look, the spikes are in the shape of Zeus lightning."

Mr. Martin shook his head and said, "No, I can't make this inference from the spikes. Continue to look down. I think it's an Indian work."

In addition to spikes, there are some patterns in the protective room, which he judges from the patterns.

Li Du had to admit that the old man had a bad eye, and when he turned back, he saw that the siege tower was in the hands of the Indians in the early stage and was used by Indian tribal wars.

Continue to build, the siege tower needs a complete set of accessories, they are like assembling a large building block, the procedures are complicated, but it is not difficult.

The protective room is more than two meters high and there are multi-level towers. Each floor can be equipped with different weapons and equipment, and thus has different functions.

The protective room is not only one floor, but two floors, with a middle floor.

Mr. Martin said: "There are coolies on the first floor. They are very strong and are responsible for pushing the siege tower closer to the target wall. On the second floor are soldiers. They hide and approach the wall and try to climb up to fight."

Further to the upper level are crossbow machine slots, which can be equipped with a total of four large crossbow machines. Unfortunately, although the crossbow machine is present and the crossbow is missing, they can even pull the crossbow machine on the spot.

The top floor is an arrow tower. Soldiers can stand on it to shoot arrows and attack the opponent to cover themselves. In addition, the arrow tower can also be converted into a suspension bridge for soldiers to climb the wall. It is very clever.

Below the arrow tower are some claw-like tools, all made of fine iron. This kind of thing has the function of destroying the enemy's top retaining wall and fixing its own climbing bridge.

More than twenty people have been busy working from morning to evening, and finally built this siege tower.

Everyone was tired, but very fulfilled. The siege tower looked very domineering and sold well.

The entire siege tower is more than six meters high. During the siege, a large number of soldiers hid in the huge machine, relying on wheels and ropes to advance.

Everyone worked together to move the siege tower to the weak part of the enemy's wall, and then they could attack. Unless the defender is much stronger than the attacker, the siege tower will open a huge gap on the wall smoothly.

Mr. Martin took a few photos, everyone was taking photos and went up to take photos with the siege tower.

Obviously, this siege tower is an out-of-the-box weapon, not a simple prop ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ So if you miss this opportunity, they may never run into it in their lifetime.

Mr. Martin lamented: "This should be the siege tower of the Indian tribe. It may be an antique with a history of hundreds of years or more."

Hans asked in surprise: "Is it?"

Mr. Martin said with certainty: "Yes, I do n’t know which tribe, but the Indian siege tower was no longer manufactured at the end of the nineteenth century. Because the government communicated, the tribal war between them ended. The towers have no effect. "

For the Indians, the siege tower of an active siege has a great psychological deterrent to the defending enemy, which often makes the enemy frightened and drop without fighting. This is its real role.

Until a hundred years ago, Indian tribes still fought from time to time, and some tribes built cities. Of course, the cities were villages surrounded by walls.

If you do not use firearms, it is not easy to capture such a village, and it may even cause huge losses to the attacker.

So before the Europeans came to North America, the Indians used this siege tower to siege the city.

If Mr. Martin is right, this siege tower will be of great value. Now the Indian tribes are often rich, and they will be willing to collect such a siege tower.

Mr. Martin took the opportunity to teach students and discuss with them historical events related to the siege tower.

"In 363, the Roman expeditionary forces besieged the Persian fortification city Pilissapola. After the persuasion was invalid, the Romans used the siege tower to attack, opened the gap on the wall, and invaded the city ..."

"In the third Macedonian war, Rome marched into Greece. In the early days, the Roman legionaries were repeatedly frustrated. In 16 BC, the ruling officer Paulus led the main army to attack and used the siege tower to deter the military and civilians in Macedonia from winning ...
