Chapter 69: A New Type of Lethal Weapon

"City defense!"

"City defense?"

"That's right!"

Chu Feng continued, "The biggest difference between us and the nomadic tribes is that we have cities to rely on."

"However, our current city defense equipment still needs improvement and refinement."

"After all, they are numerous and powerful, while we have a garrison force of less than ten thousand."

Zhu Kang nodded in affirmation: "You are right, but how should we improve the defensive strength of the city?"

"The best defense is, of course, offense; I have already thought of a type of city defense equipment that can inflict damage."

"Oh? Really! What does it look like?"

"Hehe, you'll know in two days!"

Chu Feng smiled mysteriously, "Pay more attention to the workshop; I will be in seclusion for the next two days, so discuss other matters with Lu Peng."

"Fine, I understand."

After giving his instructions, Chu Feng left.

Watching Chu Feng's retreating back, Zhu Kang couldn't help but mutter to himself: "What is he doing! Being all mysterious!"

Great Wei, Pingjing Fortress.

"Damn it, this Demon Race is truly annoying!"

Lu Wenhan sat in command at Pingjing Fortress, watching the gradually retreating Demon Race.

Today, the Demon Race launched another large-scale attack on Pingjing Fortress.

Lu Wenhan commanded the garrison inside the fortress, blocking the Demon Race firmly outside.

The current situation.

They and the Demon Race were in a complete stalemate.

Neither side could do anything to the other for the time being.

"General, you haven't closed your eyes for three days!" the deputy general walked up and said with concern.

"Hehe, how can I rest easy without wiping out this Demon Race!"

Lu Wenhan gave a bitter laugh.

Afterward, he walked down from the fortress and returned to his residence.

At present, the rhythm of the Demon Race's attacks was becoming increasingly frequent, and the pressure on Pingjing Fortress was growing daily.

Although the palace had now tended toward stability, certain people were still hiding in the shadows, ready to make a move.

"Sigh, I wonder how that girl is doing now."

Lu Wenhan sighed.

In his heart, he still missed his daughter.

Just at this moment.

The deputy general came before Lu Wenhan once again.

"General, Polu General Chu Feng of Anwu County has specially sent 1,500 jars of fine wine."

"Oh? Anwu County!"

Lu Wenhan raised an eyebrow.

Wasn't that where his daughter went?

"There is also a letter here, to be handed to you, General."

The adjutant handed the letter to Lu Wenhan.

Lu Wenhan took the letter and read it through carefully.

"Hehe, this girl!"

Lu Wenhan shook his head and chuckled.

It recounted her experiences and living conditions in Anwu County.

It stated that the Anwu County garrison commander, Chu Feng, was a talent with extraordinary potential.

The wine sent was also a gesture of his sincerity.

At the same time, it warned Lu Wenhan not to overindulge.

"Transport the wine to the warehouse, and bring two jars over while you're at it."

"Yes, General!"

Before long.

Two jars of wine were brought before Lu Wenhan.

Wine was Lu Wenhan's favorite thing.

The warehouse contained quite a lot of the fine wine he had collected.

Many subordinates hoped that Lu Wenhan would share some, but they were sternly refused by Lu Wenhan.

"Let me taste what this General Chu's wine is like."

Lu Wenhan lifted the lid on top.

The next moment.

A violent fragrance of wine instantly permeated the entire space.

"Wow, what fragrant wine!"

The deputy general sniffed hard.

It was the first time he had smelled such a wine aroma.

"What a peculiar wine."

Lu Wenhan was likewise attracted by this fragrance of wine.

He had not expected that there would be such a rich wine fragrance in this world.

Immediately, he impatiently picked up the wine jar and took a gulp.

A scalding, hot, and stimulating sensation instantly spread throughout his entire body.

It took only the duration of a single breath.

A strange fragrance bloomed within his body.

"Good wine, truly good wine!"

Lu Wenhan exclaimed in admiration.

Then he poured another fierce gulp into his mouth.

This was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious wine.

"Gen... General, could you let me have a taste!"

The deputy general's saliva was already flowing all over the floor at this moment.

He also really wanted to taste what this wine was like.

"This..."

Lu Wenhan pondered for a moment, "You may drink any of the wine in my wine cellar, but all the wine sent from Anwu County is to be delivered to my residence; whoever dares to covet it, I will be furious with them!"

"Ah? No, General, you..."

"Do as I say!"

"Yes, General!"

The deputy general ultimately failed to taste the flavor of Life-Prolonging Wine.

All of this wine was transported by Lu Wenhan to his private cellar and kept under strict guard.

As for the other wine in the private cellar, it was distributed by Lu Wenhan to his subordinates.

He alone greedily kept all the wine that Chu Feng had sent.

On the other side.

After several days of seclusion and contemplation.

Chu Feng finally completed his city defense weapon.

"Phew, finally drawn it out."

Chu Feng looked at the blueprint he had drawn, feeling very satisfied.

With this thing, they would be able to effectively inflict damage on the enemy from a long distance.

Putting away the blueprint, Chu Feng immediately headed straight for the Craftsman Workshop.

Craftsman Workshop.

All the craftsmen were busy working in full swing at this moment.

Everyone knew that they would soon be launching a great battle against the Turkic people.

Therefore, the crowd did not dare to stop for a moment, and immediately threw themselves into the forging process of the Heavy Armor after finishing their meal.

Thanks to the generous treatment provided by Chu Feng, as well as the cost-free investment.

The production efficiency of the Heavy Armor was greatly improved.

"Master Zhu, according to our current progress, we are expected to finish this batch of Heavy Armor before the beginning of spring."

"Master Liu, you have really worked hard."

"Haha, this is all what we should do!"

Liu Ao picked up his wine bowl and took a light sip of Life-Prolonging Wine.

There was only one bowl of such wine a day, so he had to drink it sparingly, "It's just a pity that this fine wine is too scarce to drink to one's heart's content!"

"After the iron armor is completed, I will let everyone drink to their heart's content!" Chu Feng entered everyone's line of sight at this moment.

"General Chu!"

"Old Chu, has your seclusion ended?"

"Yes, it has ended!"

Chu Feng nodded, "Master Liu, everyone has worked hard during this time; it is not that I am unwilling to provide more, but I am worried that drinking will cause mistakes."

"That is natural, we understand!"

Liu Ao was also a reasonable person.

This concerned the safety of the lives of over a hundred thousand people in Anwu County, so there was no room for even the slightest carelessness.

"Old Chu, what are you holding in your hand?"

"A blueprint!"

Chu Feng handed the blueprint to Zhu Kang.

Zhu Kang took the blueprint and spread it out.

The content inside made him tremble with shock.

"This... what is this?"

Zhu Kang did not understand what kind of weapon this was and turned to look at Chu Feng.

"This is a Bed Crossbow, a type of weapon that can inflict damage on enemy troops from a long distance."

Chu Feng pointed at the blueprint and continued to explain, "Three bows are placed on this, so it is also called a Three-Bow Bed Crossbow; its maximum range is at least about nine hundred paces."

"What? Nine hundred paces!"

Upon hearing this distance, everyone was instantly stunned.

This weapon can shoot a distance of nine hundred paces.

This is too outrageous!

"Old Chu, you... you aren't joking, are you?"

"Whether I'm joking or not, won't we know once it's made and tested?"

Chu Feng turned his head to look at Liu Ao, "Master Liu, do you think you can make this thing?"

Liu Ao took the blueprint: "This object is so precise and complicated, it is no small project, but with the blueprint for reference, it shouldn't be a big problem. Give me five days, and I will make it for you."

"Fine, then I will trouble you, Master Liu."

Five days later.

Liu Ao had finished crafting the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow designed by Chu Feng.

Afterwards, Chu Feng immediately ordered people to carry the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow up to the city wall.

Looking at this new type of weapon, everyone was so surprised they didn't know what to say.

"This thing is like a bow and arrow, but it's lying down."

"According to the General, this thing can shoot at least nine hundred paces."

"Damn, nine hundred paces; this distance will easily crush those Turkic barbarians."

Everyone expressed great curiosity regarding the weapon designed by Chu Feng.

Lu Shuwan also had great interest in this weapon.

She found she could understand Chu Feng less and less.

It felt as if this man were capable of anything.

"Hey, who among you wants to experience the power of this Bed Crossbow?"

"I will, General!"

"I will!"

"I will!"

"Are you trying to snatch this from me, damn it?"

"So what if I'm snatching it! You want to fight one-on-one if you're not convinced?"

"A one-on-one fight it is, whoever wins gets to use it!"

"That suits me perfectly!"

Several Colonels under Chu Feng could not help but want to compete to win the right to use the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow.

Chu Feng did not refuse.

An army should maintain this kind of positive and upward spirit.

In the end.

Lu Shuwan achieved the final victory.

Although they were all of Postnatal cultivation, Lu Shuwan was clearly much stronger than them.

"This winch, place the special arrow here!"

"Mm!"

Lu Shuwan picked up the long arrow and placed it in the arrow box, then pulled the winch.

After pulling it to the full, Lu Shuwan suddenly let go.

The long arrow placed in the box flew out.

In just an instant, it had actually flown a distance of one thousand paces.

"My god, this must be at least one thousand paces!"

Watching the arrow fly so far away.

The crowd was greatly astonished.

This was quite a bit further than the distance Chu Feng had mentioned.

If enemies were to invade, this thing would definitely be a great killing weapon!

"Sigh, if there had been such a weapon at Dingning Pass back then, so many brothers wouldn't have sacrificed their lives!"

Xiang Yuan recalled the bloody battle at Dingning Pass from back then.

In that battle, many colleagues and brothers had died.

Chu Feng also felt it deeply.

In that battle, they had indeed lost too many people.

At the same time.

The Wuji Tribe on the Turkic side was also currently making preparations for war.
