But siege?Could it be a joke, just relying on the less than two thousand rebels under the city.

It's really like our Thessaloniki is made of mud.

Everyone followed the gaze of the head of the Ninth Army to look behind the Xu Ding Department under the city, and a transport team came from afar.

Soon the transport team unloaded a pile of wood and iron from the carriage.

Xu Ding ignored the call for comparison, and ordered Meng Yu and other cavalrymen to dismount.

"Follow me, do what I say, don't ask why, and don't ask what's the use." As he spoke, Xu Ding began to direct the crowd to install the pile of parts.

Meng Yu and the others shut their mouths halfway through their words, and then they and Xu Ding assembled the wooden and iron utensils.

There are many parts and they are extremely complicated, each of which has its own fixed point, and all of them are indispensable.

After all, only Xu Ding knew what it was?

His wife Huang Yueying invented it, and Xu Ding has played it for countless times. He has contributed a lot to the improvement and invention of this thing, so he is naturally very familiar with it.

But this is an oversized trebuchet, and it took him a lot of time and materials just to build these parts.

Soon Min Zhuang, who was transporting the materials, was also asked to collect stones and short logs from the surrounding areas.

"The rebels can't be... this can't be a trebuchet!"

On the city of Thessaloniki, all the Romans were stunned.

They have seen the trebuchet before, that thing is specially used to attack and destroy the city wall.

The Roman army was equipped with it, but it was not lightly shown to others, and it was a strategic-level secret weapon.

Generally, it can only be used to deal with barbarians around or attack the deadly enemy Parthian Empire.

There is no such weapon in their Macedonian province.

Similarly, the Roman army chasing Xu Ding and others would not carry such cumbersome weapons.

Catapult is a big killer, but its size is generally not small, and it is extremely difficult to transport it over long distances.

After all, the trebuchets built by the Romans were all large modules that could not be disassembled or were inconvenient to disassemble.

Generally, after the battle, if it cannot be transported back to the capital, this thing will be destroyed on the spot.

Therefore, the remaining materials are only available in the collection of books in the Roman imperial capital.

Ordinary people can't touch it.

Just like the big man, it was invented as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it was almost lost for some reason, and most people didn't know how to do it.

"How did the rebels know the maker of the trebuchet and go, and where did he get the trebuchet from?"

The Romans were momentarily perplexed.

Only the head of the Ninth Army sighed quietly: "Now I kind of believe that he is really a descendant of the Great Emperor."

Alexander the Great, the most glorious founder of the Macedonian Empire.

The great emperor not only made Macedonia shine to the world, but also made large-scale improvements to the trebuchet during his reign, making it really shine in the Western world.

Therefore, the head of the Ninth Army has reason to suspect that, as a descendant, Alexander Qin has mastered some unknown secrets of the emperor.

Everyone wants to pass on good things to their descendants, both in the East and the West.

No one has ever been selfish.

Now that Xu Ding made an oversized trebuchet, the commander of the Ninth Army couldn't help but make contact with it.

The others also suddenly understood.

Looking at the assembled oversized trebuchet, he couldn't help swallowing his throat.

"I have a hunch that we may be in trouble."

The super-large trebuchet, if it hits it, the strong city walls of Thessaloniki may not be able to stop it.

"Legion commander, are we ready? We may really have to go out of the city to fight the rebels!"

Decisive battle, what a ridiculous verb it is, it suddenly became a noun.

Originally, everyone didn't want to fight the rebels, and didn't want to fight in the field, but now they have no choice but to do so.

The head of the Ninth Army said: "Don't worry, just wait and see if Alexander Qin's trebuchet is really working. We don't want to mess around, we have to be steady. The troops can retreat first and gather together. Without my order act rashly."

"It's the commander of the legion!" Everyone took the order, and then hurriedly left the top of the city and hid in the city.

Because it is promised that the rocks will be loaded here.

As for this job, it is difficult for others to do it, so Xu Ding did it himself, and he easily put the huge stone bullet into the slot.

Originally, he could have picked some lighter ones and threw them directly at the city of Thessaloniki for a human-intensive preparation projection.

But it was tiring and too pretentious.

After finishing everything by myself, what do I need my subordinates to do?

The reason why Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang was because Xiang Yu's personal ability was so good that his subordinates felt useless, and they didn't even have a chance to play.

Therefore, the subordinates who had been suppressed for a long time betrayed Xiang Yu one by one and followed Liu Bang, who was of average ability.

"Launch!" After adjusting the throwing angle, Xu Ding gave an order, and the wrestlers in front of him who carried the power all moved together.

With a sound of "Hoo!", a huge stone bullet shot out fiercely, drew an arc in the air, and then hit heavily on the wall of Thessaloniki City.

"Boom!" With a sound, sand and stones flew, and bricks and trees flew across.

Two wall stacks were smashed, and a flag representing the Roman Empire was broken.

There was a mess on the top of the wall, the smoke and dust fell, and a hollow on the wall and side was half sunken.

Seeing this result, both the Roman soldiers above the city and the rebel soldiers below the city took a deep breath.

So sharp, so destructive.

"This is the trebuchet improved and invented by my great ancestors. My ancestors used it to hit the entire Mediterranean, destroy countless countries, conquer the mighty Persia, and conquer the vast India." Xu Ding continued passionately Huyou said:

"Now that we have it, we can also defeat Rome and all enemies who stand in our way!"

Xu Ding succeeded in arousing everyone's emotions, especially after seeing the results achieved by the super-large trebuchet, everyone cheered.
