Xu Sheng walked to Lin Ze's side, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, this black wind thief leader's mouth is really hard, I have ordered someone to break the three leather whips, but he just won't speak." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lin Ze looked coldly at the bloody Black Wind Thief Leader, and said coldly: "Xu Sheng, continue to torture, but remember not to beat him to death, keep his life, I still have a use." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Sheng took the order, and once again turned around to 'serve' the leader of the Black Wind Thief Sentinel Cavalry.

"Ah........h

Soon, in the gloomy cell, there was another terrible scream...........

Here, Lin Ze led the officers out of the cell and went up to the walls of Black Sand City.

There are killer bees that have been staring at Xiao Quan, the so-called confession of the leader of the Black Wind Thief Sentry Cavalry, which is dispensable for Lin Ze.

Along the way, the streets of Blacksand City were filled with soldiers preparing for battle, some civilians who had been hired to make and carry more rolling logs and stones, and some people carrying large vats of gold juice and other things up the walls. (Gold juice, in fact, is dung or something.) Boiled feces and urine were used to defend the city in ancient times, not only to burn the enemy, but also to make the feces dirty, the wounds were rotten, and it was difficult to heal. ）

Now all the men in Black Sand City are incorporated into the logistics department of the army, and even all the strong women have been organized, and the rations in Black Sand City are also distributed in one piece.

Lin Ze did this, first, to increase manpower.

He only brought an army of 30,000, and none of the other auxiliary personnel, so these auxiliary personnel only recruited the people in Black Sand City.

Second, in order to avoid the hidden line of Heisha Island, it will make trouble at the most critical moment.

The third is to give a way of life for those poor people in Heisha City who are below the level of food and clothing, or even have a full meal and a hungry meal.

It was precisely because of Lin Ze's actions that although the streets of Black Sand City were full of tension and the patrolling soldiers were continuous, there was no chaotic scene, and the civilians of Black Sand City did not have any hatred when they looked at Lin Ze.

Lin Ze and the others came to the city wall and carefully checked some of the security measures above.

In the plan of Lin Ze and the others, if the Black Wind Bandit Legion directly attacked the city, it would definitely be the place where the east gate of Black Sand City was attacked!

Because, outside the west gate and the north gate of Black Sand City, there are potholes and pits everywhere, and it is difficult to walk, let alone siege the city.

The most important thing is that the terrain here is not spacious, and it can even be said to be narrow, not to mention the army of more than 200,000, even if it is an army of more than 20,000, it can fill the open space here.

If the Black Wind Thieves attack the city from that side, they happen to be the target of the stone throwers on the city wall, and if they attack in one round and don't kill hundreds of people, it will definitely be considered a failure.

In addition, if the Black Wind Thieves fill in those soil pits, they will kill a lot of people, therefore, if the Black Wind Thieves really want to attack from the West Gate, Lin Ze and they are still eager to see if the Black Wind Thieves will die.

The other north gates and south gates are also in a similar form, so, according to the plan, the main troops and equipment in Black Sand City are arranged near the east gate, and the other gates only leave the necessary guardian forces.

According to Lin Ze's calculations, the width of the eastern city wall of Heisha City is more than five miles, with more than 2,000 mounds on it, more than 50 guard posts, and three small urn cities inside, especially the urn city in front of the east gate, which is a powerful barrier to protect the east gate.

There are some guard posts on all sides of the city wall of Black Sand City, the scale of each post is not small, the whole small castle, equivalent to the size of the canteen in the school, which extends out of the city wall part of about one meter, in this way, the enemy under the city wall wants to climb up, the difficulty increases a lot, and the outpost sticks out of the wall wall There are countless holes, some of which exist as lookout holes, and the other are the holes used for archery or heavy crossbows, such a post exists on the city wall, it is definitely a huge firepower point, and it is also the most feared existence of the enemy。

As for the horse face, along the two sides of the wall of the cave gate, at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, there are two horse faces. The part of the city wall protruding from the face of the horse is about five meters and six or seven meters wide, and there are many shooting holes on the battlement wall of the horse face, and there are many shooting holes under or next to the lookout holes.

(In the ancient times of China's cold weapons, in order to strengthen the defense capability of the city gate, many cities have more than two city gates, forming an "urn city", and the city wall protrudes from the rectangular pier at a certain distance to facilitate the defenders to attack the enemy from the side.

In fact, it is the protruding or protruding part of the city wall. It's like a beacon tower on the Great Wall. ）

As for the urn city in the black sand city, it is a small castle, on the left side of the urn city, there is a door, and there is a horse face on the city wall dozens of steps away on the left, this distance is just within the shooting range covered by the bow and arrow, from the horse face on the left, you can hit the enemy army attacking the door.

According to Lin Ze's calculations, the dozen or so battlements on the urn city, as well as more than a hundred battlements along the city walls on both sides of the city gate, would be the main attack place after the Black Wind Thieves Legion, so this place also became the main place for his army.

Lin Ze attaches great importance to this place, so he directly arranged for the strongest army under his command to guard this place, and equipped it with the best armament.

For every soldier, Lin Ze gave them the best armor and the best weapons.

These armors and weapons were not the broken weapons at the bottom of the warehouses before, but Lin Ze directly selected them from the sophisticated weapons of the White Elephant Legion in the warehouse in Huangsha Town.

After Lin Ze became the chief soldier, he was qualified to select weapons and armor from the warehouse in Huangsha Town.

Not only that, Lin Ze also equipped his subordinates with a large number of crossbows, anyway, there are many of these crossbows in the military warehouse in Black Sand City, and now they can be used now.

Although the quality of these crossbows is mediocre, it is better than having the sergeant engage in direct melee combat with the enemy.

Lin Ze directly arranged an army of nearly 5,000 on the battlefield in front, and there were tens of thousands of troops as backup, which was absolutely abundant in terms of troops.

Some people wonder, why Lin Ze didn't use gunpowder, the method of making gunpowder is very simple, and making it into an explosive bag, or a grenade, is an absolute weapon for the defending side, is it because Lin Ze doesn't want to make gunpowder on the Shenzhou Continent? Or is he afraid that gunpowder will threaten him?

Seriously, Lin Ze really thought about making gunpowder, but after thinking about it carefully, he still gave up.

First of all, gunpowder is not difficult to manufacture, but if you want to use it on a large scale in military affairs, the quantity will be huge. This necessarily requires tons of charcoal, nitrate, and sulfur.

Charcoal is easy to say, but where can Lin Ze find nitrate and sulfur?!

Sulfur is good to say, you can find it in some volcanic areas, such as the Baizhang Flame where Lin Ze went before, there are countless sulfur, but if Lin Ze wants to mine there on a large scale, it is impossible. The countless powerful beasts inside the Hundred Flames will teach those who want to come here to mine sulfur how to be human here.

Sulfur can be found, but nitrate is a big problem.

Nitrate is the name on the earth, God knows what it is called on the Shenzhou Continent, even if Lin Ze finds the name of nitrate on the Shenzhou Continent, but if you want to collect nitrate on a large scale, it is still a problem.

Saltpeter mines are not so easy to find, looking for minerals, even in modern times, with modern technology to find, it takes a long time, let alone on the Shenzhou Continent.

As for using urine and feces to collect nitrate, hehe, in this way, Lin Ze also has to build a plant for refining nitrate, which requires a lot of time and money.

Secondly, it is really difficult to keep the specific formula of gunpowder secret on the Shenzhou Continent.

The Shenzhou Continent is full of martial arts warriors, acquired martial artists, innate martial artists, they can easily appear anywhere with light skills, Lin Ze can't always guard the place where gunpowder is made, as well as those who make gunpowder, so when the time comes, the manufacturing method of gunpowder will soon leak out, Lin Ze is not looking for trouble for himself.

Also, in fact, it is also the most important reason, that is, this is the Shenzhou Continent, the Shenzhou Continent, and martial arts are respected!

Don't look at the power of gunpowder on the earth, it seems to be extremely powerful, and the power of explosion is extremely strong, but here in the Shenzhou Continent, the power of gunpowder is really not enough.

Weapons made of gunpowder are a threat to ordinary people on the Shenzhou Continent, but against the martial artists here, the threat is really not big.

Even if he is a martial artist at the first level of the day after tomorrow, he can easily resist the attack of grenades//bullets/bullets/pieces/, explosives, and explosives. Of course, if you prepare a few tons of gunpowder directly, that's a different story.

The martial artists of the first layer of the day after tomorrow can resist the attack of grenades, but what about the more powerful martial artists?!

Lin Ze will face all congenital-level martial artists in the future, and gunpowder can't even deal with acquired level martial artists, so he still has to deal with congenital-level powerhouses?!

In the end, Lin Ze is in the limelight now enough, big enough, if he takes out a strategic-level fire/medicine/weapon/weapon, then he will be directly exposed to the world, the royal family, the sect, and the family will all come to Lin Ze for trouble, when the time comes, what will Lin Ze do?

With these reasons, even if Lin Ze knew that it was easy to make gunpowder, he was still not ready to take out the gunpowder.

Taking out gunpowder, for Lin Ze, it will do more harm than good!
