Chapter 2078
Because the range of ordinary catapults is only about 100 meters, even if the exquisite version is better, it will not exceed 200 meters.
However, the range of the catapult car assigned to them by the Shang League can reach at least 300 meters away. Even if the huge rocks with the Shang League characteristics and crossbow arrows are used, the distance can be increased a little.
Because the huge rocks and crossbow arrows sold to other forces are rough and heavy, when such things are fired, they will increase a lot of resistance, and the range will naturally not be far away.
If the range is limited, the power will also be greatly affected.
However, the huge rocks and crossbows used by members of the Shang League were designed and created by masters like Luban and Tang Yan, so these defects and problems naturally would not exist. ωωw..net
Not only will the volume be less bulky, but the weight will also decrease, so the distance emitted will become farther.
Some people may ask, shouldn't the huge rocks launched by the catapult cart be bigger and heavier, because they can be larger and more powerful.
It seems that this is indeed a bit reasonable, but it depends on where to use it.
If it were wars in ancient times, they were all on flat ground and facing fixed cities, the bigger and heavier these huge rocks, the better.
Because the greater the weight, the greater the power, so that it can increase its destructive power and break through the solid and golden city wall.
Otherwise, if you put some small stones on it, no matter how far you hit it, it would be useless if you can't break the city wall.
But now it is different. This is not the scene like that in ancient times. It is in the sky island world. Although the city is fixed on the land and cannot move, the sky island that carries it can move freely through the windmill.
So at this time, if you make the boulder very huge and bulky, the power will indeed be greatly improved, but its range will be shortened because of the weight of the boulder.
Once the range becomes shorter and the enemy is outside your attack range, then your catapult car has a useless effect. You must know that the power is huge, and the premise is to be able to hit it.
If you can't even hit the target, then even if the power is increased ten times or a hundred times, it will be useless, just like not firing.
If the catapult and crossbow chariot used by both sides are of the same level, there may be no difference and will not have any impact on your combat effectiveness.
Because everyone's siege weapons have the same range, if both sides want to hit the opponent, they must be within this effective range, and they must never expand the distance.
Unless you don’t want to fight and just waste everyone’s time, you can only pull the distance and attack each other. Whoever wins at this time depends on who can operate the siege weapon with a stronger level.
Although they are all within the effective range, the technology still has some effect. After all, the area of the city wall is much larger than the huge rock you projected out.
But if it is just a hit, it may not necessarily damage the opponent's energy. Only by hitting the weakest part of the city wall can it truly play a fatal blow.
Therefore, the power of the same equipment is different, mainly depends on how the person to use it.
Of course, this refers to the situation where both sides fight under the same starting line.
But if you are facing an opponent who is much more than your effective range, then your disadvantages will be clearly visible at this time.
First of all, if your range is only 200 meters, but the enemy's range is 300 meters.
Then unless the distance between the two sides is within 200 meters, as long as you can hit the enemy at this time, the huge boulder you use can play its greatest role.
Because the opponent's damage is not as good as you, so when everyone hits the target, if your huge rock is stronger than the opponent, you will definitely have a higher winning rate. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely break through the opponent's wall first.
.
But if your distance is 200 meters away, then you will be uncomfortable at this time.
Your attack can't hit the opponent at all, but the opponent can easily hit your target.
Unless your empty island moves faster than the other person's empty island moves faster, let the other person's distance from you reach 300 meters away.
Because only in this way can you make the other party miss you like you.
But at this time, you can't decide the winner. At most, everyone is spending time and energy on each other.
But if your speed is not as fast as the other party and you cannot indent the distance between the empty islands of both sides to 200 meters, then you will become a living target, and you cannot dodge if the other party attacks.
Because your distance is always kept within 200-300 meters by the opponent, which exceeds your effective range, but within the opponent's effective range, and you cannot change the situation of being beaten until the opponent's ammunition is consumed.
However, once the other party has exhausted it, I believe you will be fine. At that time, you will die, be injured, and even if the last two islands are connected together and the landing war begins, you will not be able to change your fate of being defeated.
However, one thing that is worthy of gratitude is that for other forces, such catapults and crossbows will not appear for the time being.
At least it will not appear in forces outside the business alliance.
Even many forces don’t know that the catapult car sold to them by the Merchant Alliance is not the best, and there is a perfect version that is even more powerful than their excellent version. In addition to Jiangtian and the elevation of the Merchant Alliance, this news is also the elevation of the Merchant Alliance.
Some other middle and low-level people don’t know anything about it.
Because Jiang Tian could not guarantee whether there were spies among these people, or he was not afraid that these people were spies.
After all, those who can join the business alliance have been tested many times, and there is definitely no problem with character and loyalty.
Otherwise, if the Shang Alliance is such a big family and a big business, it would be fine if there is no accident. If something happens, there will definitely be a big problem.
It’s not that Jiang Tian is afraid that someone will come to destroy it. After all, the core things are in his own hands. If others want to come, they must first consider their own strength and whether they can beat Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, and Li Cunxiao.
Li Xiuning several masters.
If he did not have this ability, even if the other party lurked to the base camp, he would not be able to destroy it.
Even if he takes another step back, if he really does damage, it will definitely not have much impact.
