Five hundred people are also called a great army, and in later generations, it will be a joke, but at this time, people can really be called a great army.

You must know that at this time, the average small tribe has less than five hundred people, and a medium-sized tribe like the Black Stone Department can't pick out such a strong man as five hundred, and only a large tribe like the Xue Manbu can send so many elite soldiers at one time.

If it was before meeting Zhao Hao, Cangwu would immediately be frightened when he saw such a large army of Xue Man's army, because their Black Stone Department couldn't do so many elite soldiers, not to mention, there was a general with a strength of more than 10,000 catties to lead the team.

It's different now, Cangwu even secretly rejoiced in his heart when he saw this little bit of people.

All this is because of Zhao Hao, the heavenly general.

He believed that it would definitely not be a problem for Zhao Hao to take down the generals of the Xue Manbu, because Zhao Hao had already slaughtered a general of the Xue Manbu, and the remaining soldiers of the Xue Manbu were not afraid of the masters who had more than 5,000 catties of strength in them, because the Blackstone Department at this time was no longer what it used to be.

Not to mention the tall and sturdy city wall, let's just say that the current strong equipment and momentum of the Black Stone Department are not comparable to these five hundred people, even if they meet in the wild, he dares to take people up.

Zhao Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, five hundred soldiers and an ordinary general, this was far lower than his original estimate, he felt that this person could not threaten the current Black Stone Department and Salt Stone City at all.

Of course, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention, he is not a rabbit, he is not a lion, just an ordinary general of the Xue Man's department, the strength is about the same as him, he doesn't dare to be careless.

After he led everyone all the way to Salt Stone City, he began to prepare for the battle with all his might.

First of all, the armor, this thing, can block the sword qi, naturally have to prepare more, after coming back, he directly took over the daily training of the fifth battalion of the black stone, and Ah Hua and Ah Shan were driven back to the tree house where the furnace was located, and took ten new Yanbu Qingzhuang with all their strength to build armor.

This time, he is not only going to build a set for himself, but also a set for people like Ah Mu, Ah Yun, Ah Yue and others, and even Ah Hua and Ah Shan, he is ready to do one set for each person.

There is also the preparation of city defense facilities.

At this time, the fifth battalion of Blackstone has actually practiced almost, even if they practice to the death, their combat effectiveness is unlikely to be significantly improved, rather than sharpening their guns in battle, catching the strength of Blackstone to practice to the death, it is better to build more city defense facilities, and it can also significantly enhance the defense of the city wall.

As for the drills of the Fifth Battalion of Blackstone, if they do it for an hour or two every day, it will be almost enough for them to maintain their current combat strength.

Zhao Hao actually didn't do this city defense facility, because there was no city wall at that time in later generations, but he still saw some of it on TV.

For example, rolling stone and sassal wood, these two things, that are the most basic.

Rolling stones, whether it is to deal with the ladder or directly drop the city wall to smash people, the effect is quite good, the drop of the city wall plus the weight of the rolling stone itself, the enemy who is generally hit by the rolling stone is basically not saved.

Moreover, because the strength of people at this time is generally more than two hundred catties, the effect of rolling stones is even more obvious, because they can directly pick up forty or fifty catties of rolling stones and throw them out.

That guy, smashing someone, it's not a broken tendon!

As for the sassal wood, it is mainly used to deal with the ladder, and if you smash people, the effect is not as good as that of a rolling stone, after all, the trunk itself is not easy to pick up and throw away, and it generally takes two people to lift it up to push down the city wall.

At this time, Zhao Hao didn't care about the role of the sassa, anyway, the strength of the Black Stone Department was strength, and the rolling stones and sassalwood in this wild jungle were also inexhaustible.

He simply took the five battalions of black stone and swept around the city wall for more than ten days, and all the boulders of more than fifty catties were carried on the city wall by him, so as not to be used by the enemy to smash them, and all the big trees above the thickness of the thigh were also cut down by him, and cut into one by one, so that people could carry the city wall, so that not only could increase the defense of the city wall, but also prevent the people of Xue Man's department from using the big trees near the city wall to make a fuss.

After the rolling stone was almost prepared by the sandalwood, Zhao Hao asked the old master of the Black Stone Department to find a way to fire a batch of large pottery pots with a diameter of about one meter.

Of course, these clay pots are not used to cook soup, but to boil hot water, and the hot water that comes out is not used for bathing, but for scalding people.

Boiling water is also a pretty good city defense facility, once the enemy comes under the city wall, the boiling water can also be poured down, which can also scald them to lose their combat effectiveness.

Especially at this time, the soldiers of Xue Man's department were only wearing short skirts of animal skin and sleeveless shoulders, and the lethality of boiling water was even stronger.

After these things are ready, the city defense facilities are basically the same, because Xue Man's department has a total of more than 500 people, after several rounds of baptism of arrow rain plus the barrier of spears and halberds, it is estimated that there are not many people who can rush to the bottom of the city wall, and these city defense facilities are basically the same.

Thinking of this rain of arrows, Zhao Hao considered another problem, that is, the problem of accuracy.

When the longbowmen defend intensively on the city wall, they do not aim at the enemy and shoot directly, because they need to be lined up, and they cannot form a dense rain of arrows at all, so the longbowmen generally use projectiles to defend intensively on the city wall, that is, all the longbowmen line up in a dense phalanx, and then collectively throw the arrow rain diagonally upwards according to the order.

This accuracy is not a matter of the individual eyesight of these longbowmen, but of the experience of the person who gives the order.

Does Ah Feng have any experience in this area?

Obviously, no.

So, what to do?

It's simple, just experiment.

That is, before the enemy arrives, let the longbowmen line up in a long square on the city wall and shoot directly down at various angles, so as to measure the approximate range of the rain of arrows from various angles.

In this way, as soon as the enemy enters the approximate landing range of the pre-measured landing point, Ah Feng will know the approximate angle of the longbowmen under his command.

After finishing these, Zhao Hao thought of a good thing again, this thing is the thick wooden shield.

Although the people of the Xue Barbarian tribe did not have bows and arrows, their weapons were all spears, and the walls of Salt Stone City were not very high, if they were allowed to approach the city walls, they could still stab the people on the city walls with tree spears from below.

At this time, if they can block it with a wooden shield, their tree spear will basically be useless.

And the Excalibur Battalion and the Excalibur Battalion can only fight in close combat, and they don't seem to have much to do if the enemy doesn't rush to the city wall, so it must be more than enough to prepare a thick wooden shield for them to block the enemy's tree spear piercing.

After all these preparations were made, more than a month had passed, and Ah Hua's armor was almost finished.

After everyone put on the armor, they didn't have to worry about being killed by the general of the Xue Barbarian Department.

At this point, the entire Salt Stone City can be said to be in full array, just waiting for the army of Xue Man's army to come.
