Conrad IV excitedly used newly equipped military telescopes to the battlefield. He found that this new telescope was farther away from observing than toy telescopes and had a larger magnification. He was very satisfied with this. But as a meticulous person, he still knew the following fact. That is, even an ordinary soldier in the Song Dynasty used a telescope that was much better than his.

After all, reflective telescopes have much greater clarity and observation distance than ordinary telescopes whose diameter is only larger than toy telescopes. In addition, there are some scales in real military telescopes that allow them to easily judge the movement speed of objects or the distance of targets. Equipment such as the battlefield is very important, and its manufacturing results also come from the achievements of geometry, optics and chemistry.

Not to mention that Europeans do not understand these things at this time, even if they are given them, they do not understand the combination and application of these things. Military telescopes are a new tool for the horizontal joint formation of science and technology. Perhaps in the future, France and the Royal Academy of Sciences in Italy will think of these things, but that should have happened a long time later.

In the past, Zhao Fubo and his friends prepared some civilian technology for the alliance, hoping to make them develop faster. They included some ready-made products such as Santian wheel making, fertilizer fermentation, etc. However, it was obvious that King Louis IX of France and Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire believed that this kind of thing would be better for you to do it yourself.

Conrad IV's eyes went out of the telescope and saw the siege car slowly advancing under the opponent's city.

This is completely commanded by Zhao Fubo, with 7,500 musketeers and archers and infantry independent attacks. In addition to these troops, it is the Great Song Yulin Army under Zhao Fubo himself. Maybe everyone wants to see that the Great Song Yulin Army, which acts quickly and sharply in the field, is invincible in the world. So what if they attack the city? What will their abilities be?

Among the 7,500 musketeers, 7 long queues were set up at the hem of Turin City, consisting of a total of 2 rifle square arrays. The other 500 musketeers were the sharpshooters selected by Zhao Fubo according to the scores in shooting training. Only their musketeers were equipped with simple sights of the gate and sight. They were arranged to the two floors of the siege car that were far higher than the city wall as snipers, attacking the people on the top of the city.

These siege cars are really worth talking about. They are almost woody, but they are wrapped in thin iron sheets on the outside of the wood for fire protection. Secondly, it is a platform that can be lifted and lowered by ropes, and its structure is completely different from ordinary "x"-shaped support. Conrad IV has seen it in close proximity. These are wooden boards laid flat on "x"-shaped frames. The top of the "x"-shaped frame is an iron ring surrounded by columns that are respectively placed at the four corners.

These columns creatively use the mast connection technology of sailing masts, that is, no matter how high the height is, as long as you are not worried about the unstable center of gravity, you can always add laminates and masts. In this way, no matter how high the city wall is, it is not a problem. In fact, the city wall is not very high at this time, and this lifting platform that relies on ropes to lengthen its power has a heavy and huge base, and does not care about the height of the general city wall at all.

When the lifting platform needs to be raised, the entire platform is pulled up through the pulley set and rope of the center mast and the animal power. In fact, the principle is very simple. The hoist we use to build buildings today. While each floor is long and rising, the wooden plank slope with small cross-border wood between the boards also rises, forming a layer of spiral runway. Siege soldiers can run from below to the surface exit, and can climb the city through a thick wooden plank placed on the top of the city.

The "lifting cart" facing the city wall is hung with a whole wooden board for blocking arrows and fixed to some ropes. When the arrow hits the surface, the board moves backwards, thereby eliminating most of the power of the arrow branches.

The base of this vehicle is quite large and heavy, but when they came, there was no trouble. Because of the huge base, the fact is that it can be scattered into 9-cars. When you arrive, the 9-cars just form a rectangle, and the undercarriage is replaced with a chassis dedicated to "lifting building trucks", and the cabin is simply a beam made of thick wood.

Then just use livestock to pull it under the city. The wide platform completely covers the people driving the car. As for the direction, it is achieved by a rudder wheel with a roll. When such a car is moving forward, the straight ballistic weapons such as the giant crossbow of the city cannot cause huge damage. If the stone thrower wants to hit the moving object, the probability is smaller than that of the planet hitting the earth.

Especially at this night, the searchlights of the siege's head appeared to be bright, and even if you look down, you can't see clearly. The most amazing thing is that when the entire "lifting car" is moving forward, the rope fixed to the ground anchor is fixed to the ground, it starts to pull it up all the way. When it reaches the city, it reaches the predetermined height.

You should see that if this method does not understand the calculation method, like a train chasing problem, it will not be able to be applied on the battlefield. The two floors of the "lifting building car" are like rooms formed by silk and chain mail. The 25 soldiers on each floor are commanded by a subordinate officer to form a shooting team. The most accurate shooter is responsible for shooting, and the two behind are responsible for loading ammunition for him.

As the "lifting tower car" rose, soldiers on these two floors quickly sprayed bullets at the city head. Under one piece of flame, the city head was attacked by dense bullets. That's not all. When the "lifting tower car" was moving towards the city wall, the stone thrower moving into the fortress began to attack the city head. These bullets were all Gong Zi Fire Rain. At this moment, these cans filled with oil were turning the city head into a sea of ​​fire.

In the case of the sea of ​​fire on that side, let alone stick to it, the hot height makes it impossible to stay in the city wall. Originally, the people in the tower were still shooting arrows at the city. But then Zhao Fubo asked the "reincarnation cannons" to throw a group of "gong Zi Fire Rain" ammunition to the tower. Then the entire tower was burned under the oil. Although it would not burn the people in the tower to death, it would not be easy to attack outwards.

Conrad IV looked at these and suddenly understood something.
