Chapter 673: Marlborough's backhand [Dabro]
"Young man, help me, go to the woods to pick up some dry firewood and come back!"
"What method did she use? The soldiers said they didn't see anyone..."
These old men are all serious people; after the fire was completely resolved, they were still here and began to investigate whether Mapoloshi had used magic; most of the soldiers were sorting out the endgame under the command of the chief clerk, and occasionally they were called by magicians to help.
"This... this torch was shot through by an arrow! It seems to be an enemy's raid!"
"There is fuel floating on the water stains on the ground! This... there is also here!"
"Young man, please help me see what this thing is...ah, is it turquoise?"
After some investigation, the magician unanimously agreed that the attackers did not use magic in this attack; even whether Mapoloshi was involved was doubtful, because the fire broke out here and the wind began to blow over the village;
The most important point is that the magic detection device has no response from beginning to end.
If Luo Xi really burned these equipment with fire magic, there would be no record there; and if the degree of fire magic is limited to "ignition"... the turquoise on the ground can mean that Luo Xi does not have this need, after all, the effects of the two are similar.
"It seems that we did something unfair in the end." An old magician sighed with some guilt, "As a magician, you should not have participated in the war."
"Maybe after we go back, we should make some review." Someone agreed.
"After the war is over, find a way to compensate the East."
These old guys are really unpleasant… Dabro shook his head not far away;
Since you are in the same camp as Wang Leader, what's wrong with helping with something? You didn't let you use magic to bombard the city walls directly... It's so old-fashioned that it's a headache.
Seeing the old magicians returning to the camp in a complicated mood, Dabro felt that he needed to investigate;
Of course, it is not an irrelevant thing like whether to use magic or not.
Dabro picked up a burning piece of wood from the bonfire as a torch, walked to a fairly intact trencher to look carefully;
From the outside, there is no problem with this trebuch except that the bracket on the outside is burnt;
It doesn't seem to affect the use, it seems.
Dabro lifted the torch closer and squinted his eyes and observed carefully;
He didn't think Mapoloshi would be satisfied with such a result - with so many siege equipment left, Bilin City was still not safe enough.
Soon, he discovered the problem.
Dabro's eyes fell on the long lever of the trencher - this is the most important piece of wood on the trencher; it has good elasticity and is responsible for carrying the thrown objects and the power of the soldiers. Once it is damaged, the entire trencher cannot continue to be used;
Now, there is a piece on it that is darker in color and slightly protruding, giving people a sense of swelling.
Dabro felt that the problem was a bit serious, it was not like a product of accident; he tentatively touched the unburned end with a torch-
It's soft.
It is worse than corks that swell with high temperature...
Oh my God.
Dabro felt a little dizzy; he called out to the soldiers around him and asked the latter to try the trencher;
The soldiers naturally obeyed the orders; they adjusted the direction of the trencher to the forest, and then placed the stones at one end as they were in training, then pulled the rope tied to the machine, and then exerted force together—
Click.
With a crisp sound, the lever of the trencher broke; the stones were scattered weakly on the ground, and the soldiers watched the broken trencher fall into concealment - is this, is the operation not compliant with the regulations? Why did it suddenly break?
Oops, will you be punished by the nobles? After the soldiers realized that they had caused trouble, they began to tremble;
Dabro stepped forward and observed the section - sure enough, it broke from the place where the bubbles were swollen; from the cross-section, only a small part of the wood was still intact; from the thickness of the intact part, it was strange that it was withstanding such a great force and continued to open.
"Don't panic... Come with me, let's try this." Dabro comforted the soldiers a little, and took them to another seemingly intact trencher.
Well, it probably just "looks" intact. Dabro thought to himself as he looked at the busy soldiers.
How could Mapoloshi attack only one trespass?
Sure enough, when the soldiers loaded the stones and started exerting force, there was another crisp sound similar to that before;
But this time the beam carrying the long lever broke; the lever fell to the ground with stones. Although the sound was louder, they were not as scared as before.
They also realized that there might be something wrong with the trench itself.
Dabro went to observe the section again, and the result was the same as before.
Two units were enough. Dabro signaled the soldiers to go back to work, and he continued to investigate;
It was not just the trenchers that were in trouble; other siege equipment also had problems.
For example, the rushing car - there is a large piece of softened area on the stout wooden cone; if it is put into use, it will be reimbursed if it hits the cone one or two. The situation of the well rail is even worse, and there will be swelling in the places illuminated by the torch, and it is estimated that it will fall apart if it is not too far out...
It can only be said that it was terrible. Dabro threw the torch back to the bonfire and walked towards the camp - the Black Bear should come to report on the situation later, and it is time to explain the next task...
Can those old magicians see an abnormality tomorrow? Dabro thought;
Although I don't know much about magic, if I can catch the handle, Mapoloshi probably won't have prepared such a complicated plan.
"Master, sorry...we couldn't..." Before Dabro could walk far, the Black Bear rushed over quickly with apologetic; there were too many people here just now, and he couldn't find Dabro;
"Don't worry, this is not your fault, it's your opponent too strong." Dabro had no intention of blaming him. "You are here, so I will give you the following tasks - everyone will go back to the camp to rest, there is no need to guard."
"Uh...will the enemy attack again while the defense is empty?" asked the Black Bear curiously-he often heard Dabro say that he should beware of the enemy's sneak attack when he is unprepared;
"There is no need for the enemy." Dabro smiled helplessly, "Tomorrow, you can choose a few people with quick legs and feet, bring enough dry food, and go and see the situation of nearby villages and cities, and come back within three days."
"Okay!" The black bear nodded seriously - it was always right to listen to the master's words;
"Well, remember not to leave too far, otherwise..." Dabro said in a low voice.
"Maybe I can't catch up with the big army."
