Chapter 242 Iron Caltrops and Storm Crossbow, Zong Shen's Self-Refrigerated Warehouse [8,000 on the Day]

This luggage box is full of iron caltrops the size of a sea bowl.

Zong Shen had seen this kind of thing in an ancient military documentary.

It belongs to the iron thorn spreading obstacles used by the military in the cold weapon era. In ancient wars, the thorns were spread on the ground to delay the enemy's actions. There are holes in the middle of the thorns, which can be connected in series for easy laying and collection.

The shape of the caltrops in this luggage box is different from what Zong Shen saw in the documentary, and the body size should be larger, but the effect should be similar.

The main threat of the caltrops in the sea bowl is not the target of the infantry, but the target of the cavalry. Speaking of which, the heretics of the Calamity Church in Odo Village seem to focus on making arrangements for the cavalry of the aborigines.

【Heavy Tribulus terrestris (green)】

[Quality: Excellent grade]

[Puncture damage: 67~70]

[Durability: 500]

(The heavy version of the caltrops, the nemesis of the heavy armored cavalry, can reduce the charging efficiency of the cavalry. It is a very practical defense weapon. It can also be connected in series with a tough net rope to form an iron net, which can wrap horseshoes in a range. , the effect is better)

The heretics of the Calamity Raven Church are very afraid of the kingdom's cavalry, including the horse-blocking ditch dug outside the village and the iron caltrops in the luggage box, all of which are deliberately targeting the cavalry.

After preparing so many measures, I almost wrote the word fear on my face.

Now all these caltrops belong to someone from his sect. When he was expanding his territory to deal with savages in the grasslands, Zong Shen discovered that his territory was very inefficient against enemies who could charge and assault.

Even the prairie bulls can easily rush under the city wall, and the outside is almost unobstructed. This must be improved.

First wait for the end of the crypt challenge, and then re-plan the future urban area. All the buildings are divided according to the area, and then let Mariel slowly start to migrate, and then build the prototype of the city first.

The current city wall and the lord's courtyard are retained as the inner city, and no other changes will be made.

Zong Shen and his subordinates counted a little. There are about 90 iron caltrops in a luggage box, and a total of 20 luggage boxes are full of this stuff, with a total of 1800 iron thorns. All of these iron thorns are very heavy. Zong Shen's strength value felt a little falling when he grasped it in his hand.

These large caltrops are all pitch black, and a layer of grease is applied on the surface for basic maintenance. If they are in the dark, they cannot be seen on the ground.

Especially against heavy-armored cavalry, when passing by at high speed, the horse's hoof falls directly to the ground. Each caltrop has four spikes, and the length reaches 20 cm, which is enough to penetrate the horse's hoof. Slip, lose balance.

If it is laid on a large scale on important gates, it can indeed delay the cavalry's offensive, either flipping the horse or ending the charge. This thing is a conspiracy for the cavalry.

Zong Shen accepted it all with a smile. In the future, it would be a good choice to use it as a territorial defense or a military supply reserve. If there is a large-scale war in the future, these thorns can come in handy.

After collecting all the caltrops, there are still 10 luggage boxes left. These luggage boxes are all rectangular, and in terms of volume, they are larger than other luggage boxes.

Zong Shen used the guard sword to split the cover plate with ease. Inside these rectangular baggage boxes was a strange ordnance.

There are two in each luggage box, which are somewhat like siege crossbows, but the front section is a square box.

There is a slap-sized winch at the back, and the same trigger as the crossbow. There is a safety card above the trigger. Only when the safety is pulled can the trigger be pulled. This is also a protective measure to avoid accidental touches and mistakes. operate.

The size of this thing is not small, and it needs to be erected before it can be used. The bottom is two horizontal brackets to support it on the ground, and there is a support point under the trigger at the rear. By adjusting, the shooting direction can be adjusted at a small angle.

Judging from these structures, this thing is definitely a kind of crossbow machine, and it is the kind of crossbow machine used to siege or defend a city. Judging from its size and weight, it belongs to a small crossbow machine.

The huge box in front was covered by a sliding panel. Zong Shen reached out and pulled out the panel from bottom to top, revealing the hideous hide in the box.

The box is divided into 120 squares, and each square has a crossbow bolt.

That is to say, this thing can fire 120 crossbow bolts at one time. According to the configuration of 12 people in a team and 120 people in a squadron in this world, this crossbow machine can be worth a squadron of crossbowmen to shoot one round at the same time. .

Zong Shen's eyes lit up, this is definitely a good thing!

He stared at the crossbow machine, and its specific attributes began to emerge in front of him.

【Storm Crossbow Machine (Blue)】

【Light positional crossbow】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Puncture damage: 89~92]

[Range: 210 meters]

[shooting height: 100 meters]

[Sturdy value: 600]

[Armor value: 15]

[Skill: Storm Shot lv10 (Vent all the bolts in the designated direction within 3 seconds, causing 1.0 times the piercing damage to all targets, and causing the enemy to enter a vulnerable state for 10 seconds, increasing the damage received by 10%, the Skill has no cooldown)

Passive skills: single-shot/three-shot mode (can switch single-shot or three-shot mode, and launch one or three arrows at a time)]

(A practical light positional crossbow, which can be used for long-range suppression. In the single-shot mode, the target is extremely poor. When the enemy is about to break through the front line, it enters the state of storm shooting, pouring all the crossbow bolts at one time, causing a large range of piercing damage)

This storm crossbow machine is really similar to what Zong Shen expected before. It can be used for long-range suppression. In addition to being able to fire all the crossbow bolts at one time, it can also shoot with a single shot or three shots. However, such a densely distributed firing hole thinks it has It doesn't matter how accurate it is.

It's good for long-range suppression, and the bolts used in this storm crossbow machine are also ordinary bolts. Four sets of bolts are needed for a full load, but the bolts and arrows can be recovered, so there is no need to worry too much. .

Now the front line of the crypt in Zongshen's territory is a big consumer of crossbow bolts and arrows. Most of the crossbow bolts and arrows shot out will be recycled once every once in a while.

Some bowed and worn arrows need to be handed over to Uncle Dwarves for forging and repairing. Basically, most of them can be reused without repair, so the problem of consumption is not a big deal.

Zong Shen put the cover back on and put the crossbow machine back in the box.

There are a total of ten rectangular baggage boxes, each containing two storm crossbow machines, a total of 20 storm crossbows, which can pour 2,400 crossbow bolts in a short period of time, which is definitely a bloody storm .

However, this kind of crossbow machine is loaded for two hours and fired for five minutes. After one round, it is not easy to hit the second round. It takes at least half of the crossbow bolts one by one to tighten the reel. hours of time.

It can only be used in groups and fired in turns.

Or directly use it as the killer of the position, without considering the second round, one round will determine life and death.

No matter how you use these, they are all good things that can strengthen the defense of the territory. Zong Shen accepts it all!

I don't know how the members of the Calamity Raven Church will look when they find out that all the secret materials have been emptied. This is undoubtedly a great blow to the church heretics in Odo Village.

The food problem is easy to solve, but after the lack of [Heavy Iron Caltrops] and [Storm Crossbow], it will definitely have an impact on their resistance to the crusade or the Knights.

After Zong Shen emptied all the luggage boxes, the entire warehouse seemed a lot empty. After repeatedly confirming that there were no omissions, he directly chose to go home.

Go through the narrow passage, return to the compartment, climb back through the opening of the city wall fault, and then return directly to the ground.

Luna is venturing nearby, and so far, no suspicious people have appeared around and there is no other situation.

So Zong Shen immediately took out two weight-bearer mechas, and greeted everyone to get on the bus. Without stopping too much, he immediately set off towards the territory and returned.

But this time, he didn't notice that while the crawler of the load bearer's mecha ran over the ground and continued to advance, it also left obvious imprints on the grass behind him...

These imprints are intermittent, pointing to the location of Zongshen's territory.

If there is no accident, this kind of trace will naturally disappear in a day or two.

But now, this is undoubtedly a big flaw and omission...

...

More than an hour later, Zong Shen has returned to the territory with the soldiers of the expedition team.

It was already noon at this time. In the territory, Mariel and San Fatty were simply processing some ingredients by the stove. Today, another batch of iron ore was put up for sale, and the territory technology was also being researched.

After having Mariel, Zong Shen did save a lot of energy. Some trivial arrangements and tasks were handled by Mariel, including scientific research and market listing. Usually, Zong Shen would hang up a batch when he returned to the territory. , and now Mariel is staring at it basically all day long.

Efficiency before and now are not comparable.

Zong Shen stored all the materials obtained this time into the territory storage box, but left some in his personal storage compartment.

The two gold diggers were still hanging on the arrow tower, covered with dust and dirt, looking like two beggars, and the smell of defecation was all around them. Even San Fatty would bring people here every day. Cleaned it up once, but it still stinks.

When they saw Zong Shen walk into the courtyard, they whimpered again, as if begging for mercy, but Zong Shen still didn't have any desire to pay attention to them. Giving a piece of barbecue seems a bit inhumane, at least saving one life is no problem.

Just hang it like this first, then hang it for five or six days, and then talk about it.

At that time, put on the chains and send it directly to the mine to mine with the kobolds. Such a good mining talent cannot be wasted. It happened that thousands of mining picks were found in the mine warehouse and the kobold warehouse before. Enough to mine for a long time.

This time, Zong Shen came directly to the cellar. He had built a cellar before, with a total volume of about 27 cubic meters. If the storage materials are too small, the stored food cannot be kept fresh, so it has been idle here.

But now the cellar can be used completely. The cold storage blueprint needs frost gems, which he can't make temporarily, but now that there is the Frost Raven, there is no problem in transforming the cellar into an imitation version of the cold storage.

Zong Shen contacted Colby and asked him to lead someone to carry the Frost Raven trapped into a zongzi to the gate of the yard, and then prepare a dozen barrels of water.

After everything was ready, he came to the gate of the small courtyard, came to the front of the Frost Raven, and directly pulled out the guard sword, the silver sword flashed, and the Frost Raven was frightened and kept shaking. .

I saw Zong Shen cut the hemp rope that bound its beak, and pointed at the bucket on the ground with his sword.

"Lend you some cold air to use!"

"Freeze all these buckets into ice."

These artificially cultivated monsters have certain wisdom and can understand simple instructions.

Sure enough, after Zong Shen finished speaking, it looked at the wooden barrels very smartly, but did not act, and seemed to be hesitating whether to do it.

Zong Shen, however, would not grumble with it. He raised his hand and took out a mottled and exaggerated epee with a "swipe" sound, which was the Dragon Slaying Epee.

This epee has once killed a giant dragon and was stained with dragon blood. Even if it is damaged, it is a real killing soldier. It has a strong deterrent effect on a beast of prey like the Frost Raven.

Zong Shen held the Dragon Slaying Epee in both hands and gestured on its neck.

"Oh, what a useless bird, why should I keep you?"

"Why don't you bake it and eat it, how can such a big bird still have a meal!"

When the blade of the Dragon Slaying Epee was about to touch its neck, all the feathers on its body stood up.

He hurriedly let out a whimper, and started breathing cold air towards the bucket in front of him.

A white cold air swept out and sprayed towards the water bucket on the ground. The escaping cold air rolled up and blew to the surroundings. Immediately, the armor of Zong Shen and the wolf cavalry soldiers on the side began to condense frost flowers.

The giant wolf under the wolf cavalry was even more restless, and frost began to condense on the thick hair.

Zong Shen and the wolf cavalry stepped back one after another, allowing the Frost Raven to play freely.

After only 20 seconds, the dozen or so buckets on the ground were all frozen into ice cubes, and even a layer of ice appeared on the ground.

Zong Shen asked Colby to put all the ice cubes in the barrels into the cellar, spread a layer on the basement of the cellar, and then asked the wolf cavalry to call a dozen barrels of water and put them in the Frost Raven again. in front of it and let it continue making ice.

The Frost Raven was about to cry. It was a serious bird of prey, and it was a monster that mastered frost magic. Every day in the church, it was served by big fish and meat, and everyone respected it.

But everything is different here!

It takes 20 minutes for a chapter to be reviewed for a detailed review. Recently, it has been a rough review. If you see a typo or a paragraph that is not smooth, you can pay attention to it, and it will be dealt with after you see it.
