Chapter 178: Defensive Strategies (2)

The ancient law said: The city of three miles, ten thousand families to guard it, is enough. But a small village like Shijia Village, which is only two miles in radius, certainly cannot be compared with the city. Moreover, there are only a few hundred people in the village, so they can only rely on more unexpected weapons to achieve the purpose of defending and holding for a long time.

Fortunately, the village is halfway up the mountain and half water, and there are fortifications and some equipment used to defend against bandits in ancient times, so it is relatively easy and quick to rebuild. For example, although there is no city wall in this village, there is a half-man-high embankment along the bank of the river during flood control, and as long as some sandbags or stones and other bunkers are scattered on the embankment, it can be used as a battlement of the city wall. Although the embankment is not high, there is a river outside the wall, and there is no fear that intruders will climb the wall. Villagers can also hide behind battlements to avoid attacks, or attack enemies on the other side of the river at the battlements.

In the defense of ancient cities, urn cities were generally set up. But after all, this is in modern times, and it is only to prevent them from demolishing the house, there is no need to kill Yingye, so this urn city is exempt. Moreover, the sheep and horse walls, horse rejection guns, horse traps, antlers and thistles that should be set up outside the city wall can also be reduced. After all, this is not a military conflict, and the other side is not a cavalry unit.

Fortunately, Ling Yunfeng had learned a lot of things in the Dragon Soul, and he also had a lot of things in that brain, which was enough for him to toss. And ever since he got that piece of crystal jade again, Ling Yunfeng felt that his brain seemed to be different from usual. In addition to recovering his memories, he could even feel that many neurons were beginning to interconnect with other unrelated neurons, growing new protrusions and forming a very strange network in his brain.

But exploration is an afterthought, and everything has to be prioritized. After all, no one knows when that Li Xiaotao will bring someone back.

At this time, the old village chief had already come to Ling Yunfeng with five or six people, and he pointed to one of the dark-faced thin middle-aged men and said, "Xiao Ling, this is Hua Pao Liu." The son-in-law who came to our village in the early years, don't look down on him, he is a good firecracker. The fireworks used in the New Year's festival here are all made by him. ”

After Ling Yunfeng said hello to the firecracker Liu, the old village chief pointed to an old man with thick knuckles and rough skin like old bark and said, "This is the old Kuitou, known as Living Luban." He is an old carpenter from ten miles and eight towns, and there are countless apprentices under his hands. It is said that there was an apprentice in the city who became the chief technician of the museum. But this old thing has to stay in this ravine, and he doesn't go to the city to enjoy the happiness with his apprentice. ”

After that, there were some bamboo craftsmen and craftsmen, and after Ling Yunfeng also saw them one by one, he said: "All the seniors are capable people, and I admire them very much, boy." This time, in order to protect our Shijia Village, boy, I will dare to talk about what I asked the elders to help do. ”

Seeing that Ling Yunfeng spoke very politely and respected the old craftsman, everyone put away their arrogant thoughts. Originally, he was a foreigner, and he dared to boast that he wanted to protect the village in Haikou at a young age, but the old people in these villages were still very distrustful. But at this time, seeing that he was humble with strong self-confidence, he gave people the feeling that he was capable.

At this time, the old village chief had already taken the villagers to set up the wall buttress according to Ling Yunfeng's requirements, and Ling Yunfeng was no longer polite in the face of a group of old craftsmen, he first said to the fireworks Liu: "Mr. Liu has been doing fireworks for so many years, and the fireworks will definitely be done, right?"

"Hmph, you're looking down on me!" Hua Pao Liu turned around with some disdain.

Ling Yunfeng was not annoyed, and continued: "Then I don't know if you can use a porcelain bottle to fill it with black medicine and increase the stepping fuse?"

"This ......" Hua Pao Liu was sweating a little, what kind of flower cannon is this, this is a landmine. It's just that it is filled with black medicine, and the power is definitely not as good as that of modern strong zha medicine, but the lethality is not small. What is this kid going to do......?

Ling Yunfeng saw that Liu didn't speak, and he was sweating vigorously, so he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly relieved: "Of course, I won't make those that are too lethal, which can reduce the proportion of nitrate, and at the same time add items such as chili powder to make it the original version of chemical bombs and tear gas." ”

"This ...... It's not that hard. It's just that I don't have enough nitrate in my hand, and the fuse ......"

"Hahaha, this is simple, there is ammonium nitrate fertilizer in the village......, right? That'...... ...... like this again" After Ling Yunfeng's explanation, that Hua Pao Liu was completely stupid. Fortunately, he repeatedly promised that he would never reveal the manufacturing method to the outside world, so Ling Yunfeng was relieved. After all, it is illegal to make it privately, and now it is okay to have him, a fugitive. If after he leaves, the villagers secretly make it, it will be on the road of crime. Therefore, he still has to complete the key procedures himself.

Except for a few mines with high lethality that Ling Yunfeng personally made, most of the other mines were loud and smoke-emitting. After all, there are many records of this kind of thing in ancient books, such as Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations".

In addition to mines, Ling Yunfeng also asked Hua Pao Liu to make some incendiary bombs from wine bottles and wine jars. As for the oil poured into it, because the materials were insufficient, some gasoline, vegetable oil, and even sesame oil were also obtained. This made the aunt of the food group chase him for two blocks before he managed to get some incendiary bombs. In order to increase the power, Ling Yunfeng also deliberately added things like sugar and white phosphorus to the oil. Of course, white phosphorus is difficult to preserve, and it is poisonous, and for the level of the villagers, Ling Yunfeng still gave up on letting them extract it.

There were still some ready-made fireworks shells in the firecracker Liu, and Ling Yunfeng didn't let it go. He also had several launchers made out of iron pipes, which looked like mortars. It's just that it's much larger than the caliber of mortars, Ling Yunfeng looked at the barrels of the cannons, and suddenly had an idea, and asked people to prepare some wooden planks that were slightly smaller than the muzzles, and then got some black medicine bags, and added some stones and other things to the bags. This is simply the conscienceless cannon used by our army in World War II!

Firearms are actually very rare. After all, this village is very small, not to mention the lack of materials, and the industrial level is also very low, except for those small things that the ancients could make, most of them have to rely on cold weapons.

After letting go and letting Hua Pao Liu go busy, Ling Yunfeng found the old Kui head of the living Luban just now. There is a lot of carpentry required here, such as antlers and horses.

However, the most important thing for Ling Yunfeng to find Lao Kuitou is to make trebuchets. He weighed it again and again, and finally decided to build a counterweight trebuchet, which was also known as the ancient return cannon.

To put it bluntly, it is a wooden shelf, on which a horizontal log is erected, using the principle of levers, a counterweight basket is installed at one end, and a parabolic basket is placed at the other end. According to the amount of counterweight, the distance of the projectile can be determined. The angle of the shelf determines the direction of the projectile.

Of course, it is difficult to be precise due to the precision of the materials used. But for an open area of only about a hundred meters on the other side of the river, a few small trebuchets are enough.

In addition, there is the manufacture of wooden shields and spears, and the weaving of rattan helmets and rattan shields. Because of the bamboo forest, it is faster to mix bamboo and wood to make it.

When Ling Yunfeng explained everything that needed to be made, he also felt very tired.

But that's not all, such as dismantling tricycles and making crossbow machines from leaf springs. Although this is the Great Sage's forte, Ling Yunfeng will also.

So he converted the only three cars in the village into three bed crossbows. The board is used as a ballista, and the wheels can increase maneuverability.

After working for most of the day, Ling Yunfeng noticed that Shi Xiaolu had been following behind him.
