After digesting the information provided by Weng Qiuchan, Nie Chen said,
"In other words, although there are many people on Heifeng Ridge, in fact, most of them were good citizens before and were forced to become bandits by them. The real core personnel are still the 100 people who followed Zhang Taonian before."
"Yes, those one hundred people are all just like the Zhang brothers. They do all kinds of evil and are bad to the core. Their presence can also deter other bandits. Other bandits call them black bandits.
Those bandits were forced to destroy their families and go up the mountain to become bandits. They felt unspeakable pain in their hearts. They also suffered from the overwhelming power of Black Wind Ridge and did not dare to resist.
Zhang Taonian's ambition is very big, and it doesn't stop there. He only has a thousand people now because he can't find much food in the surrounding areas.
That's why he set his sights on our Qingfeng Village, wanting our troops and territory to expand his power. "
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"The reason why those bandits dare not resist is because they feel that the black bandits are too powerful and they lack a suitable opportunity and someone who can stand up and take the lead.
We need to let them know that those so-called gangsters are not that strong. They have one head and two arms and can be easily killed. "
"Those people fight with their lives and are very vicious. Can you beat them?"
"Aren't you looking down on your husband-in-law?"
Nie Chen sneered.
"Gungun, who are you? Besides, I don't know you yet? With your three-legged cat skills, you can't beat anyone but me."
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes.
"Qiu Chan, do you know what is the biggest difference between humans and beasts?"
"What is it?"
"People use weapons."
Nie Chen stood up, picked up the assembled frame, and called two people over.
"Come on, brothers, tie the bow strings with me."
"Okay."
With the help of everyone, the bowstring was tied up, and a large crossbow two meters long and wide was assembled.
"what is this?"
Weng Qiuchan asked curiously.
"Things that can widen the gap between humans and beasts."
Nie Chen smiled, turned to the other side and asked,
"Have the crossbow arrows been made?"
"Second Master, the one who installed the arrows has only made ten in total. The iron room is a little slow."
"Bring them all over and speed up the progress."
Nie Chen asked people to take out the crossbows and arrows.
The arrows were more than two meters long. Weng Qiuchan felt that they were similar to spears, but the tip of the spear was different from the spear, much like the tip of a bow and arrow.
"Hey! Such a big thing, what is this?"
The leader looked at the big guy behind Nie Chen and couldn't help but be surprised. All the bandits also looked over curiously.
"Master, this is what I call the Army-breaking Crossbow. This time I am here to test its power."
Nie Chen smiled.
At this time, several little bandits came over with prepared wooden boards.
Ten of the wooden boards were prepared, each one five centimeters in length, arranged neatly with twenty centimeters between each one.
Nie Chen called three people and put the two-meter-long arrow up. Then he asked them to pull the three people with all their strength, and finally managed to wind it up after exhausting the strength of nine cows and two tigers.
The headmaster sighed,
"It takes so much strength to pull the bow string. I have already imagined how terrifying the power of this arrow is."
"Master, I installed a lot of mechanisms on it so that three people could pull it open. If there were no mechanisms, it would probably take ten people to pull it open."
After Nie Chen finished speaking, he adjusted the shooting angle, and then gently pressed the trigger that held the bow string.
boom!
The two-meter-long arrow shot out with a swish, and the ten wooden boards were shot through like a piece of wood. Then the arrow continued unabated and hit the stone wall heavily.
These walls were newly built and very strong. After the broken army crossbow hit them, the walls actually shook.
When he looked again, the arrowhead had completely sunk into the rock of the village wall.
The arrow that was originally ←———— has now become————.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
"This is really a big killer. No one can withstand such speed and power."
The headmaster repeatedly praised,
"Just now I saw that the wall of the village was shaking. If there were such broken military crossbows as ten, I'm afraid it wouldn't take more than two or three rounds for the wall to be blown down."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Master, there is a special city-breaking crossbow for attacking the city wall, and it is much bigger than this one.
The army-breaking crossbow is mainly used when two armies are fighting.
Most of today's armies are wearing leather armor. If the enemy's formation is dense, one arrow can shoot through five people. Even if they encounter elites wearing iron armor, one arrow can kill at least two.
If the cavalry on the opposite side only needs one arrow to shoot through both men and horses, the cavalry behind will also suffer, which can greatly delay the opponent's offensive..."
At this point, Nie Chen remembered that there was no large-scale cavalry in this era, so he stopped talking.
"Okay! Okay! With this kind of treasure, if you put it on the wall of the village, no matter how many people come, it will turn into a hornet's nest."
The boss is a general, and he is most aware of how terrifying this weapon will be.
Weng Qiuchan frowned and said,
"But our village wall is not six feet wide. How can we possibly hold such a heavy thing?"
"It's okay. Just pile up mountains of earth and rocks where the broken crossbow needs to be placed. That's not that simple."
Nie Chen smiled and left the broken military crossbow behind. After teaching the master how to control and aim it, he turned around and returned to the craftsman's workshop.
As Nie Chen invented one good thing after another, the bandits in the village also admired him very much. They sincerely called him the second boss and regarded him as one of their own.
After returning to the craftsman's workshop, Nie Chen started making the second military crossbow in full swing. Now the craftsman's workshop, iron-making room and wine-making room have become the military center of Qingfeng Village.
Nie Chen stayed in the craftsman's workshop as if forgetting to sleep and eat. The air inside was not good, so he drove Weng Qiuchan out.
At night, it was already dark. The carpenters and the little bandits all went to rest. Nie Chen was still busy lighting the oil lamp.
In the dead of night, Weng Qiuchan came alone outside the craftsman's workshop. Through the window, he saw Nie Chen who was still busy inside. He frowned and felt a little distressed. He turned around and walked towards the kitchen first.
Nie Chen worked until he was yawning all the time and could hardly keep his eyes open. Then he took off the scarf wrapped around his head, took off the long gown full of sawdust, walked outside and washed his face, and then went straight to Weng Qiuchan's residence. Go.
Just like last night, he came right in without even knocking on the door.
Weng Qiuchan, who was sitting on the chair, rolled her eyes.
"Do you really think of me as your home? Now you come directly to my place at night?"
