Although Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er joined forces to attack the stronghold and were able to kill more than 200 soldiers and horses left behind in Black Falcon Cliff, but this failed to achieve the purpose of training the horse infantry through actual combat - they were fighting alone at this time. But when encountering a village with more than a thousand bandits and capable of gathering the strength to kill, he and Ning Chan'er can't go into battle alone, right
At this time, Chen Hai seemed to have no regard for what happened to the soldiers and horses sent by Hexi who were besieged in Yequshan. He also did not send anyone to detect the movements of the Western Qiang Kingdom. He did not even care whether the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom were seduced by the horse thieves. He came out and didn't care who in the Xiqiang country wanted to overthrow the Ye family that ruled the Pinglu Oasis at this time.
It is very difficult for a group of people to pull the slingshot simultaneously without missing a second. At this time, if you want to throw a stone projectile weighing a hundred kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms into the enemy's formation from a thousand steps away, it may take one or two seconds. It takes hundreds of people pulling the sling at the same time to achieve this.
They also persisted until the fifteenth day, but no reinforcements appeared. After the hundreds of remnant bandits in the village realized that Chen Hai was actually using them for military training, except for a dozen leaders who escaped at night, the others happily fled. Surrender.
Chen Hai enlisted more than two hundred slave craftsmen to build a waterwheel. However, they took ice from the glacial lake in front of Black Falcon Cliff and burned it to melt it. The waterwheel continued to sprinkle water on the village gate.

Even martial arts cultivators in the Spiritual Realm would not dare to easily catch ice bullets weighing a hundred kilograms thrown from two thousand steps away. However, the solid wall made of black sandstone poured with iron juice would withstand the intensive and precise continuous bombardment of ice bullets. , is also covered with dense spider web-like cracks that could collapse at any time.
Ning Chan'er also enthusiastically ran over to help. Of course, her purpose was to learn how to make and use a weighted sling crossbow.
The village gate made of iron birch was tightly closed, not much worse than the large iron gate made of fine iron. Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er and Fan Dachun did not go out to fight. The ordinary soldiers rolled down the arrows and stones shot from above. If you want to storm such a stronghold gate, there will be many casualties.
There are too many disadvantages, so stone-throwing crossbows rarely appear on the battlefield in Yanzhou.
The horse infantry army was hastily organized, and the generals' combat power was only slightly better than that of ordinary people. Even if they formed a defensive battle formation, it was impossible for the three or four people at the front to form a fighting group or fighting surface, holding halberds, shields or swords and shields. Blocking the charge of a Tongxuan realm warrior.
For a heavy-duty trebuchet, one end of the catapult is no longer pulled by manpower, but is equipped with a strong counterweight box, filled with thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of gravel or iron ingots, which are tied to the catapult as a counterweight. The tail end of the catapult is loaded with hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets in the front end of the catapult, and the front end of the catapult is slowly pulled down with a winch and tied with a rope.

Although the twenty catapult crossbows were extremely heavy, they were broken into hundreds of large and small parts and dragged directly through the vast sea of sand by thousands of horses. The traveling speed was not too slow.
Chen Hai was besieging Black Falcon Village at this time, just to buy time as much as possible to train his troops in actual combat. What can be used at this time is the heavy weight sling crossbows that are being built one after another.

The trebuchet that Chen Hai built at this time was a weighted trebuchet that used the principle of leverage.
At the same time, twenty or thirty people can operate a heavy-weight trebuchet. Local materials are obtained, and manufacturing is also very convenient. Only parts that require extremely high strength and need to be cast from quenched iron need Chen Hai to do it himself.

When attacking the enemy's position, use a knife or ax to suddenly cut off the rope at the bomb-throwing end, and the weight box weighing 10,000 kilograms at the end will suddenly fall, and the stone bomb can be easily thrown one or two thousand steps away.
Taking advantage of the severe cold when dripping water turned into ice, the water spilled in front of the village gate and quickly froze into layers of solid ice, freezing the city gate hole into a large lump of ice.
At this time, Chen Hai organized forty centurions for the Ma Infantry. Each time the baggage battalion built a heavy trebuchet, in addition to arranging more than twenty prisoners to operate it, one or two additional centuries were arranged to guard the flanks.
In the dense array, a Tongxuan realm warrior held an iron shield, which was enough to withstand the stabbing of three or four ordinary generals with spears.

Afterwards, Chen Hai ordered the army camp to cut trees in the oasis forest in front of Black Falcon Cliff, and built siege equipment such as side carriages, ramming poles, floor carts, and sling crossbows outside Black Falcon Cliff Walled City...

Since the gate of the stronghold was difficult to attack, it was simply sealed from the outside so that the rebels would not have a chance to send troops from the stronghold to fight back.

Just like the treatment in Black Mountain Village, bulk supplies such as food could not be taken away, so they were abandoned in an open field along with the timid and resigned slaves, allowing anyone to take them or leave them.

Ning Chan'er also enthusiastically ran over to help. Of course, her purpose was to learn how to make and use a weighted sling crossbow.
Fan Dachun first led more than 400 elite cavalry to approach the outskirts of Jinxiang Ridge, blocking more than 400 thieves in the stronghold so that they had no chance to abandon the stronghold and escape. The horse infantry delayed for two days and also came over with large and small parts of the sling crossbow. Assembly is carried out outside the village.
Han Wendang was already familiar with the same attack steps, having been demonstrated in the previous round.
There are too many disadvantages, so stone-throwing crossbows rarely appear on the battlefield in Yanzhou.
Chen Hai was besieging Black Falcon Village at this time, just to buy time as much as possible to train his troops in actual combat. What can be used at this time is the heavy weight sling crossbows that are being built one after another.
Side carriages are mainly used by the horse infantry to force the village wall to block arrows and stones, and hit poles to attack the wall; floor carriages are also extremely simple. The simplest wooden carriage has two high poles erected on the frame. As long as the carriage can be hoisted to twenty or thirty meters high, so that elite archers can stand in the cantilevered carriage and shoot down the traitors behind the wall of the Walled City.
Chen Hai's solution to this problem is very simple, which is to use the Macedonian phalanx plus five-meter super spears to train these ordinary soldiers.
The village gate made of iron birch was tightly closed, not much worse than the large iron gate made of fine iron. Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er and Fan Dachun did not go out to fight.

After gaining stronger self-confidence and expelling the leader, Fan Dachun also obediently accepted Chen Hai's suggestion and selected some prisoners from Black Falcon Cliff to be incorporated into the cavalry to make up for the lack of combat power; he also selected hundreds of strong slaves and organized them into the cavalry. Enter the horse infantry and baggage camps.
Afterwards, Chen Hai ordered the army camp to cut trees in the oasis forest in front of Black Falcon Cliff, and built siege equipment such as side carriages, ramming poles, floor carts, and sling crossbows outside Black Falcon Cliff Walled City...
These are all siege weapons recorded in the military code of the Bingwei Mansion, and Mojia Division also has records on the manufacturing methods of human-powered trebuchets, but this type of trebuchet was not taken seriously in many battles in Yanzhou.

Chen Hai was besieging Black Falcon Village at this time, just to buy time as much as possible to train his troops in actual combat. What can be used at this time is the heavy weight sling crossbows that are being built one after another.
In a dense battle formation, the five-meter-long iron spear allows the first four to five ranks of generals to be in direct contact with the enemy.
Although the stone bullets were more powerful, there were not enough manpower to collect them. Chen Hai directly arranged for people to collect lake ice and made a large number of hard ice bombs, which he threw at Black Falcon Village. At the same time, he continued to train during the throwing process. These prisoners of war were calibrated to improve the accuracy of the throw, so as to form dense ice bomb coverage on small sections of the village wall.
In addition to the extremely strong cities built in Yanzhou, the cast-iron shields held by ordinary generals are also extremely strong. If there are Tongxuan realm warriors, they will not need to throw stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms to pose a fatal threat.
In the dense array, a Tongxuan realm warrior held an iron shield, which was enough to withstand the stabbing of three or four ordinary generals with spears.
The trebuchet that Chen Hai built at this time was a weighted trebuchet that used the principle of leverage.
While Han Wen was able to organize the training and bombard the bandits in an orderly manner, Chen Hai's main focus was on casting more precise and stronger parts, and transforming the sling crossbow step by step to become more sophisticated and powerful.
Side carriages are mainly used by the horse infantry to force the village wall to block arrows and stones, and hit poles to attack the wall; floor carriages are also extremely simple. The simplest wooden carriage has two high poles erected on the frame. As long as the carriage can be hoisted to twenty or thirty meters high, so that elite archers can stand in the cantilevered carriage and shoot down the traitors behind the wall of the Walled City.
In this way, when a Tongxuan realm warrior, even if he is on horseback, charges towards him, he will no longer be met by three or four ordinary soldiers, but by ten or even twenty overlapping iron spears. . The dense spear wall formed in this way will completely make up for the serious lack of individual combat power of ordinary generals.
They also persisted until the fifteenth day, but no reinforcements appeared. After the hundreds of remnant bandits in the village realized that Chen Hai was actually using them for military training, except for a dozen leaders who escaped at night, the others happily fled. Surrender.
Chen Hai was besieging Black Falcon Village at this time, just to buy time as much as possible to train his troops in actual combat. What can be used at this time is the heavy weight sling crossbows that are being built one after another.
This is also the key reason why Fan Dachun doesn't look down on surrendered soldiers and slaves at all.
At the same time, Yanzhou's crossbows have an extremely long range. A human-powered trebuchet usually needs to be placed a thousand steps away to be able to operate continuously without being affected by the enemy's crossbows.
More than four hundred thieves were trapped in the stronghold, and their hearts were at a loss. Chen Hai was able to calmly borrow the energy of heaven and earth to condense the flames, melt gold and cast iron, making the casting more sophisticated. At the same time, he also worked hard to make the sling crossbow smaller. , easy to dismantle and transport.
At the same time, twenty or thirty people can operate a heavy-weight trebuchet. Local materials are obtained, and manufacturing is also very convenient. Only parts that require extremely high strength and need to be cast from quenched iron need Chen Hai to do it himself.

While Han Wen was able to organize the training and bombard the bandits in an orderly manner, Chen Hai's main focus was on casting more precise and stronger parts, and transforming the sling crossbow step by step to become more sophisticated and powerful.
First, water was diverted to solidify and the gate of the stronghold was blocked with ice, so that the bandit soldiers did not have the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack from the stronghold. Then they calmly assembled twenty catapults, harvested the lake ice to make bombs, and threw them at the sky above the stronghold in waves.
The five or six thousand men and horses did not stop at Black Falcon Rock. After all, the past ten days were mainly for training. It was much easier than the forced march that lasted for two or three days before. Ordinary generals did not have much consumption.
Fan Dachun first led more than 400 elite cavalry to approach the outskirts of Jinxiang Ridge, blocking more than 400 thieves in the stronghold so that they had no chance to abandon the stronghold and escape. The horse infantry delayed for two days and also came over with large and small parts of the sling crossbow. Assembly is carried out outside the village.
At night, the sling crossbow changed the weight of the counterweight box, adjusted the range, and threw a large number of stone projectiles into the Walled City, causing heavy casualties to the bandit soldiers, who did not dare to rest.
The village gate made of iron birch was tightly closed, not much worse than the large iron gate made of fine iron. Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er and Fan Dachun did not go out to fight. The ordinary soldiers rolled down the arrows and stones shot from above. If you want to storm such a stronghold gate, there will be many casualties.
If you want to attack the enemy formation intensively, you need to use twenty or thirty sling crossbows at the same time.
In the manufacture of sling crossbows, Chen Hai also first simplified and then complicated. He first asked craftsmen to cast parts from ordinary iron materials and use ordinary poplar trees to make catapult poles. However, he gradually replaced them with thousand-year-old Populus euphratica solid wood and quenched iron castings.
Of course, Chen Hai directly sealed the thieves in Black Falcon Cliff Village in the village. At this time, he had no chance to test the power of this super-long spear Fangcedonian Phalanx. After all, it takes time to compile and transform the Fangcedonian Phalanx. Three to four thousand lengthened iron spears will take time.
The scale of Black Falcon Cliff Village is much smaller than that of Black Mountain City, only four hundred steps square.
Since the gate of the stronghold was difficult to attack, it was simply sealed from the outside so that the rebels would not have a chance to send troops from the stronghold to fight back.
At night, the sling crossbow changed the weight of the counterweight box, adjusted the range, and threw a large number of stone projectiles into the Walled City, causing heavy casualties to the bandit soldiers, who did not dare to rest.
Afterwards, Chen Hai ordered the army camp to cut trees in the oasis forest in front of Black Falcon Cliff, and built siege equipment such as side carriages, ramming poles, floor carts, and sling crossbows outside Black Falcon Cliff Walled City...
At this time, at least four to five thousand people are needed to coordinate this matter at the same time, and sufficient defensive troops must be deployed on the periphery to prevent enemy counterattacks.
In addition to the extremely strong cities built in Yanzhou, the cast-iron shields held by ordinary generals are also extremely strong. If there are Tongxuan realm warriors, they will not need to throw stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms to pose a fatal threat.

At this time, Chen Hai seemed to have no regard for what happened to the soldiers and horses sent by Hexi who were besieged in Yequshan. He also did not send anyone to detect the movements of the Western Qiang Kingdom. He did not even care whether the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom were seduced by the horse thieves. He came out and didn't care who in the Xiqiang country wanted to overthrow the Ye family that ruled the Pinglu Oasis at this time.

However, the solid wall made of black sandstone poured with iron juice would withstand the intensive and precise continuous bombardment of ice bullets. , is also covered with dense spider web-like cracks that could collapse at any time.
In particular, a large amount of quenched iron was used to greatly increase the strength of the catapult and other parts, and it was even possible to throw stone projectiles weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
They also persisted until the fifteenth day, but no reinforcements appeared. After the hundreds of remnant bandits in the village realized that Chen Hai was actually using them for military training, except for a dozen leaders who escaped at night, the others happily fled. Surrender.

And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.
Although Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er joined forces to attack the stronghold and were able to kill more than 200 soldiers and horses left behind in Black Falcon Cliff, but this failed to achieve the purpose of training the horse infantry through actual combat - they were fighting alone at this time.

This kind of weighted sling crossbow, which is not recorded in the first volume of military training records, is not complicated in its manufacturing process. It is at least much simpler than the automatic repeating crossbow. However, when used by ordinary soldiers, it is used to attack cities and siege strongholds, and its power is considerable. .

At this time, Chen Hai organized forty centurions for the Ma Infantry. Each time the baggage battalion built a heavy trebuchet, in addition to arranging more than twenty prisoners to operate it, one or two additional centuries were arranged to guard the flanks.
Although the twenty catapult crossbows were extremely heavy, they were broken into hundreds of large and small parts and dragged directly through the vast sea of sand by thousands of horses. The traveling speed was not too slow.
In this way, when a Tongxuan realm warrior, even if he is on horseback, charges towards him, he will no longer be met by three or four ordinary soldiers, but by ten or even twenty overlapping iron spears. . The dense spear wall formed in this way will completely make up for the serious lack of individual combat power of ordinary generals.
This is also the key reason why Fan Dachun doesn't look down on surrendered soldiers and slaves at all.
In the manufacture of sling crossbows, Chen Hai also first simplified and then complicated. He first asked craftsmen to cast parts from ordinary iron materials and use ordinary poplar trees to make catapult poles. However, he gradually replaced them with thousand-year-old Populus euphratica solid wood and quenched iron castings.
The Macedonian phalanx had fatal flaws, but it was the best way Chen Hai could think of at this time to organize and train the horse infantry to fight against the elite horse bandits in the vast sea of sand.
At night, the sling crossbow changed the weight of the counterweight box, adjusted the range, and threw a large number of stone projectiles into the Walled City, causing heavy casualties to the bandit soldiers, who did not dare to rest.
The five or six thousand men and horses did not stop at Black Falcon Rock. After all, the past ten days were mainly for training. It was much easier than the forced march that lasted for two or three days before. Ordinary generals did not have much consumption.
More than four hundred thieves were trapped in the stronghold, and their hearts were at a loss. Chen Hai was able to calmly borrow the energy of heaven and earth to condense the flames, melt gold and cast iron, making the casting more sophisticated. At the same time, he also worked hard to make the sling crossbow smaller. , easy to dismantle and transport.
Of course, Chen Hai directly sealed the thieves in Black Falcon Cliff Village in the village. At this time, he had no chance to test the power of this super-long spear Fangcedonian Phalanx. After all, it takes time to compile and transform the Fangcedonian Phalanx. Three to four thousand lengthened iron spears will take time.
The trebuchet that Chen Hai built at this time was a weighted trebuchet that used the principle of leverage.
In a dense battle formation, the five-meter-long iron spear allows the first four to five ranks of generals to be in direct contact with the enemy.
These are all siege weapons recorded in the military code of the Bingwei Mansion, and Mojia Division also has records on the manufacturing methods of human-powered trebuchets, but this type of trebuchet was not taken seriously in many battles in Yanzhou.
At the same time, the Macedonian phalanx needs to cooperate well with elite cavalry and a large number of auxiliary sword and shield soldiers and archers. It also needs to be on a relatively open and flat battlefield in order to play its due role.
More than 4,000 horse infantry and twenty centurions continued to form a defensive formation on the open oasis meadow outside the village, practicing the Macedonian spear phalanx; ten centurions practiced the sword and shield formation; and ten centuries practiced shooting. Fan Dachun led more than 400 elite cavalry to monitor one side to prepare for sudden changes.

They also persisted until the fifteenth day, but no reinforcements appeared. After the hundreds of remnant bandits in the village realized that Chen Hai was actually using them for military training, except for a dozen leaders who escaped at night, the others happily fled. Surrender.
Although Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er joined forces to attack the stronghold and were able to kill more than 200 soldiers and horses left behind in Black Falcon Cliff, but this failed to achieve the purpose of training the horse infantry through actual combat - they were fighting alone at this time. But when encountering a village with more than a thousand bandits and capable of gathering the strength to kill, he and Ning Chan'er can't go into battle alone, right
Afterwards, Chen Hai ordered the army camp to cut trees in the oasis forest in front of Black Falcon Cliff, and built siege equipment such as side carriages, ramming poles, floor carts, and sling crossbows outside Black Falcon Cliff Walled City...
Chen Hai's solution to this problem is very simple, which is to use the Macedonian phalanx plus five-meter super spears to train these ordinary soldiers.
Of course, Chen Hai directly sealed the thieves in Black Falcon Cliff Village in the village. At this time, he had no chance to test the power of this super-long spear Fangcedonian Phalanx. After all, it takes time to compile and transform the Fangcedonian Phalanx. Three to four thousand lengthened iron spears will take time.
Although the stone bullets were more powerful, there were not enough manpower to collect them. Chen Hai directly arranged for people to collect lake ice and made a large number of hard ice bombs, which he threw at Black Falcon Village. At the same time, he continued to train during the throwing process. These prisoners of war were calibrated to improve the accuracy of the throw, so as to form dense ice bomb coverage on small sections of the village wall.
First, water was diverted to solidify and the gate of the stronghold was blocked with ice, so that the bandit soldiers did not have the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack from the stronghold. Then they calmly assembled twenty catapults, harvested the lake ice to make bombs, and threw them at the sky above the stronghold in waves.
In addition to the extremely strong cities built in Yanzhou, the cast-iron shields held by ordinary generals are also extremely strong. If there are Tongxuan realm warriors, they will not need to throw stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms to pose a fatal threat.
When attacking the enemy's position, use a knife or ax to suddenly cut off the rope at the bomb-throwing end, and the weight box weighing 10,000 kilograms at the end will suddenly fall, and the stone bomb can be easily thrown one or two thousand steps away.
At the same time, the Macedonian phalanx needs to cooperate well with elite cavalry and a large number of auxiliary sword and shield soldiers and archers. It also needs to be on a relatively open and flat battlefield in order to play its due role.
For a heavy-duty trebuchet, one end of the catapult is no longer pulled by manpower, but is equipped with a strong counterweight box, filled with thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of gravel or iron ingots, which are tied to the catapult as a counterweight. The tail end of the catapult is loaded with hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets in the front end of the catapult, and the front end of the catapult is slowly pulled down with a winch and tied with a rope.
At night, the sling crossbow changed the weight of the counterweight box, adjusted the range, and threw a large number of stone projectiles into the Walled City, causing heavy casualties to the bandit soldiers, who did not dare to rest.
And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.
This is also the key reason why Fan Dachun doesn't look down on surrendered soldiers and slaves at all.
Even martial arts cultivators in the Spiritual Realm would not dare to easily catch ice bullets weighing a hundred kilograms thrown from two thousand steps away. However, the solid wall made of black sandstone poured with iron juice would withstand the intensive and precise continuous bombardment of ice bullets. , is also covered with dense spider web-like cracks that could collapse at any time.
This is also the key reason why Fan Dachun doesn't look down on surrendered soldiers and slaves at all.
After gaining stronger self-confidence and expelling the leader, Fan Dachun also obediently accepted Chen Hai's suggestion and selected some prisoners from Black Falcon Cliff to be incorporated into the cavalry to make up for the lack of combat power; he also selected hundreds of strong slaves and organized them into the cavalry. Enter the horse infantry and baggage camps.
First, water was diverted to solidify and the gate of the stronghold was blocked with ice, so that the bandit soldiers did not have the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack from the stronghold. Then they calmly assembled twenty catapults, harvested the lake ice to make bombs, and threw them at the sky above the stronghold in waves.
Chen Hai was besieging Black Falcon Village at this time, just to buy time as much as possible to train his troops in actual combat. What can be used at this time is the heavy weight sling crossbows that are being built one after another.
The village gate made of iron birch was tightly closed, not much worse than the large iron gate made of fine iron. Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er and Fan Dachun did not go out to fight. The ordinary soldiers rolled down the arrows and stones shot from above. If you want to storm such a stronghold gate, there will be many casualties.

Fan Dachun first led more than 400 elite cavalry to approach the outskirts of Jinxiang Ridge, blocking more than 400 thieves in the stronghold so that they had no chance to abandon the stronghold and escape. The horse infantry delayed for two days and also came over with large and small parts of the sling crossbow. Assembly is carried out outside the village.
In addition to the extremely strong cities built in Yanzhou, the cast-iron shields held by ordinary generals are also extremely strong. If there are Tongxuan realm warriors, they will not need to throw stone bullets weighing hundreds of kilograms to pose a fatal threat.

Chen Hai's solution to this problem is very simple, which is to use the Macedonian phalanx plus five-meter super spears to train these ordinary soldiers.
Chen Hai enlisted more than two hundred slave craftsmen to build a waterwheel. However, they took ice from the glacial lake in front of Black Falcon Cliff and burned it to melt it. The waterwheel continued to sprinkle water on the village gate.
First, water was diverted to solidify and the gate of the stronghold was blocked with ice, so that the bandit soldiers did not have the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack from the stronghold. Then they calmly assembled twenty catapults, harvested the lake ice to make bombs, and threw them at the sky above the stronghold in waves.
Just like the treatment in Black Mountain Village, bulk supplies such as food could not be taken away, so they were abandoned in an open field along with the timid and resigned slaves, allowing anyone to take them or leave them.
In particular, a large amount of quenched iron was used to greatly increase the strength of the catapult and other parts, and it was even possible to throw stone projectiles weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
By the fifteenth day, the baggage camp had built twenty catapults, capable of firing hundreds of hundred-jin ice bombs at the same time.
At this time, Chen Hai seemed to have no regard for what happened to the soldiers and horses sent by Hexi who were besieged in Yequshan. He also did not send anyone to detect the movements of the Western Qiang Kingdom. He did not even care whether the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom were seduced by the horse thieves. He came out and didn't care who in the Xiqiang country wanted to overthrow the Ye family that ruled the Pinglu Oasis at this time.

The horse infantry army was hastily organized, and the generals' combat power was only slightly better than that of ordinary people. Even if they formed a defensive battle formation, it was impossible for the three or four people at the front to form a fighting group or fighting surface, holding halberds, shields or swords and shields. Blocking the charge of a Tongxuan realm warrior.
At this time, Chen Hai seemed to have no regard for what happened to the soldiers and horses sent by Hexi who were besieged in Yequshan. He also did not send anyone to detect the movements of the Western Qiang Kingdom. He did not even care whether the reinforcements of the Western Qiang Kingdom were seduced by the horse thieves.

At this time, at least four to five thousand people are needed to coordinate this matter at the same time, and sufficient defensive troops must be deployed on the periphery to prevent enemy counterattacks.
It is very difficult for a group of people to pull the slingshot simultaneously without missing a second. At this time, if you want to throw a stone projectile weighing a hundred kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms into the enemy's formation from a thousand steps away, it may take one or two seconds. It takes hundreds of people pulling the sling at the same time to achieve this.
The scale of Black Falcon Cliff Village is much smaller than that of Black Mountain City, only four hundred steps square.
The trebuchet that Chen Hai built at this time was a weighted trebuchet that used the principle of leverage.
And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.
When attacking the enemy's position, use a knife or ax to suddenly cut off the rope at the bomb-throwing end, and the weight box weighing 10,000 kilograms at the end will suddenly fall, and the stone bomb can be easily thrown one or two thousand steps away.

While Han Wen was able to organize the training and bombard the bandits in an orderly manner, Chen Hai's main focus was on casting more precise and stronger parts, and transforming the sling crossbow step by step to become more sophisticated and powerful.

In the dense array, a Tongxuan realm warrior held an iron shield, which was enough to withstand the stabbing of three or four ordinary generals with spears.
And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.

Chen Hai's solution to this problem is very simple, which is to use the Macedonian phalanx plus five-meter super spears to train these ordinary soldiers.
At the same time, twenty or thirty people can operate a heavy-weight trebuchet. Local materials are obtained, and manufacturing is also very convenient. Only parts that require extremely high strength and need to be cast from quenched iron need Chen Hai to do it himself.

Afterwards, Chen Hai ordered the army camp to cut trees in the oasis forest in front of Black Falcon Cliff, and built siege equipment such as side carriages, ramming poles, floor carts, and sling crossbows outside Black Falcon Cliff Walled City...
Han Wendang was already familiar with the same attack steps, having been demonstrated in the previous round.
In particular, a large amount of quenched iron was used to greatly increase the strength of the catapult and other parts, and it was even possible to throw stone projectiles weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.

In the manufacture of sling crossbows, Chen Hai also first simplified and then complicated. He first asked craftsmen to cast parts from ordinary iron materials and use ordinary poplar trees to make catapult poles. However, he gradually replaced them with thousand-year-old Populus euphratica solid wood and quenched iron castings.

The dense spear wall formed in this way will completely make up for the serious lack of individual combat power of ordinary generals.
More than 4,000 horse infantry and twenty centurions continued to form a defensive formation on the open oasis meadow outside the village, practicing the Macedonian spear phalanx; ten centurions practiced the sword and shield formation; and ten centuries practiced shooting. Fan Dachun led more than 400 elite cavalry to monitor one side to prepare for sudden changes.
She could imagine that once hundreds of these heavy-weight stone-throwing giant crossbows were arranged outside the city, and tens of thousands of generals were called to operate them, Yanjing City's defensive array would be fatally threatened - Chen Hai's sudden appearance , which truly completely changed the old war pattern in Yanzhou.

This kind of weighted sling crossbow, which is not recorded in the first volume of military training records, is not complicated in its manufacturing process. It is at least much simpler than the automatic repeating crossbow. However, when used by ordinary soldiers, it is used to attack cities and siege strongholds, and its power is considerable. .
And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.
At this time, Chen Hai organized forty centurions for the Ma Infantry. Each time the baggage battalion built a heavy trebuchet, in addition to arranging more than twenty prisoners to operate it, one or two additional centuries were arranged to guard the flanks.
The Macedonian phalanx had fatal flaws, but it was the best way Chen Hai could think of at this time to organize and train the horse infantry to fight against the elite horse bandits in the vast sea of sand.
They also persisted until the fifteenth day, but no reinforcements appeared. After the hundreds of remnant bandits in the village realized that Chen Hai was actually using them for military training, except for a dozen leaders who escaped at night, the others happily fled. Surrender.
While Han Wen was able to organize the training and bombard the bandits in an orderly manner, Chen Hai's main focus was on casting more precise and stronger parts, and transforming the sling crossbow step by step to become more sophisticated and powerful.
At the same time, the Macedonian phalanx needs to cooperate well with elite cavalry and a large number of auxiliary sword and shield soldiers and archers. It also needs to be on a relatively open and flat battlefield in order to play its due role.
In particular, a large amount of quenched iron was used to greatly increase the strength of the catapult and other parts, and it was even possible to throw stone projectiles weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
The village gate made of iron birch was tightly closed, not much worse than the large iron gate made of fine iron. Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er and Fan Dachun did not go out to fight. The ordinary soldiers rolled down the arrows and stones shot from above. If you want to storm such a stronghold gate, there will be many casualties.
More than four hundred thieves were trapped in the stronghold, and their hearts were at a loss. Chen Hai was able to calmly borrow the energy of heaven and earth to condense the flames, melt gold and cast iron, making the casting more sophisticated. At the same time, he also worked hard to make the sling crossbow smaller. , easy to dismantle and transport.

Side carriages are mainly used by the horse infantry to force the village wall to block arrows and stones, and hit poles to attack the wall; floor carriages are also extremely simple. The simplest wooden carriage has two high poles erected on the frame. As long as the carriage can be hoisted to twenty or thirty meters high, so that elite archers can stand in the cantilevered carriage and shoot down the traitors behind the wall of the Walled City.
Fan Dachun first led more than 400 elite cavalry to approach the outskirts of Jinxiang Ridge, blocking more than 400 thieves in the stronghold so that they had no chance to abandon the stronghold and escape. The horse infantry delayed for two days and also came over with large and small parts of the sling crossbow. Assembly is carried out outside the village.
Just like the treatment in Black Mountain Village, bulk supplies such as food could not be taken away, so they were abandoned in an open field along with the timid and resigned slaves, allowing anyone to take them or leave them.
At night, the sling crossbow changed the weight of the counterweight box, adjusted the range, and threw a large number of stone projectiles into the Walled City, causing heavy casualties to the bandit soldiers, who did not dare to rest.
And by taking a small amount of oak honey every day, the weak bodies of the soldiers selected from the slaves became slightly stronger; the day after they captured Black Falcon Cliff, Chen Hai, Han Wendang and others led the four soldiers More than a thousand infantry troops and baggage battalions headed directly for Jinxiang Ridge, four hundred miles away.
Ning Chan'er also enthusiastically ran over to help. Of course, her purpose was to learn how to make and use a weighted sling crossbow.

The ordinary soldiers rolled down the arrows and stones shot from above. If you want to storm such a stronghold gate, there will be many casualties.
At the same time, twenty or thirty people can operate a heavy-weight trebuchet. Local materials are obtained, and manufacturing is also very convenient. Only parts that require extremely high strength and need to be cast from quenched iron need Chen Hai to do it himself.
More than 4,000 horse infantry and twenty centurions continued to form a defensive formation on the open oasis meadow outside the village, practicing the Macedonian spear phalanx; ten centurions practiced the sword and shield formation; and ten centuries practiced shooting. Fan Dachun led more than 400 elite cavalry to monitor one side to prepare for sudden changes.
This is also the key reason why Fan Dachun doesn't look down on surrendered soldiers and slaves at all.
The trebuchet that Chen Hai built at this time was a weighted trebuchet that used the principle of leverage.

The five or six thousand men and horses did not stop at Black Falcon Rock. After all, the past ten days were mainly for training. It was much easier than the forced march that lasted for two or three days before. Ordinary generals did not have much consumption.
This kind of weighted sling crossbow, which is not recorded in the first volume of military training records, is not complicated in its manufacturing process. It is at least much simpler than the automatic repeating crossbow. However, when used by ordinary soldiers, it is used to attack cities and siege strongholds, and its power is considerable. .

Han Wendang was already familiar with the same attack steps, having been demonstrated in the previous round.

After gaining stronger self-confidence and expelling the leader, Fan Dachun also obediently accepted Chen Hai's suggestion and selected some prisoners from Black Falcon Cliff to be incorporated into the cavalry to make up for the lack of combat power; he also selected hundreds of strong slaves and organized them into the cavalry. Enter the horse infantry and baggage camps.

She could imagine that once hundreds of these heavy-weight stone-throwing giant crossbows were arranged outside the city, and tens of thousands of generals were called to operate them, Yanjing City's defensive array would be fatally threatened - Chen Hai's sudden appearance , which truly completely changed the old war pattern in Yanzhou.

By the fifteenth day, the baggage camp had built twenty catapults, capable of firing hundreds of hundred-jin ice bombs at the same time.
