Ambition Lord

Chapter 41 Green Desolation Method and Green Desolation Crossbow

Allen is more concerned about the lack of war horses for the fighters in the territory. In the era of cold weapons like the mainland, the combat power of cavalry is always much stronger than that of infantry.

The south of the mainland is not like the grasslands in the north where horses can be raised on a large scale. There are very few places where horses can be raised in the south, and most of them are small pastures. This has also led to the fact that most noble territories are dominated by infantry. It has to do with strength. If the warriors in other territories have reached the strength of cavalry like the Qinghuang Territory, it is estimated that the nobles will be willing to spend a lot of money to equip their warriors with horses!
Now Allen can only curse Viscount Berner's defeat and return. The entire Wooden Territory suffered heavy losses. In addition, Kurit was dead at that time. By then, all the barons would be severely injured by themselves. Naturally, no one can stop Alan. Lun went to snatch the horses from Iron Stone.

Although it seems unkind to do so, those who can become nobles are basically not good people. It is commonplace to oppress the people and kill serfs at will... Allen knows that he is also one of them, but at least he will not oppress at will. Exploiting the lords and serfs, Alan was lenient to the lords in his own territory.

If you think a little worse, if Viscount Bernard dies, then the Viscounty will no longer be able to hold down the barons below. This is the opportunity that Allen has been waiting for. The idea of ​​intercepting and killing, but Allen did not act rashly.

After all, although Viscount Bernard is no longer at the peak, he has rich combat experience. If he misses a hit or misses his hand, Alan will not only become the enemy of Wooden Land, but also leave behind to kill the lord—such an indelible Stain, this price Alan couldn't bear, so he gave up this tempting idea...

Putting aside the matter of the war horses for the time being, if Mu Senling loses the war, he can get all the iron stone collar war horses in his pocket without any cost. If he wins the battle, Allen will have to spend money to buy them.

…………

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and under the management of the Ninth Office, Qinghuangling began to operate in an orderly manner. The health department and the police department established sub-offices in each village, and the security environment of the territory has been greatly improved. As soon as they entered the village, the road was full of excrement and stinking to the sky. The hooligans and bullies in Hoho Township also became quails, and some were even eating prison food.

The Engineering and Construction Department is carrying out a series of construction plans such as the street widening plan of Qinghuang Town and the smooth flow of water canals in each village.

The Household Registration Department is re-measuring the land area, sorting out the household registrations of each village, the Finance Department is developing steadily, and the Ethics Department is starting to build the first school in the territory, and it will not take long for teaching to begin.

After sorting out and summarizing the legal documents given by Allen, the Criminal Law Department finally issued the first territorial regulations, which Allen named "The Green and Wilderness Law", although there are still many areas that need to be improved urgently.

In order to promote the "Qinghuang Law" to the whole territory, Allen summoned the village chiefs and asked them to take the lead in promoting it in the village. As for Qinghuang Town, it was originally under the direct jurisdiction of the Government Office. The alley is covered with yellow paper with the Qinghuang Law written on it.

At this time, Allen is no longer in the castle to deal with territorial affairs. He is rushing to the Army Logistics Bureau. The reason is that with the efforts of a large number of craftsmen from the Weapon Research Branch of the Logistics Bureau, the first crossbow in the foreign world was born in Qinghuangling. .

"Lord Baron!" Newman greeted Allen after seeing Allen coming.

"Lord Baron..." A group of craftsmen behind Newman also shouted.

"Okay! Come on! Where's the crossbow?" Allen said anxiously, this is a long-range strike weapon on the battlefield, who doesn't want to see it first.

"Here!" Newman quickly took the crossbow from the crowd.

Allen took it with both hands.

I saw that the whole body of this crossbow was black and painted with a kind of moisture-proof paint. The length of the bow arms was about one meter. The whole body was made of Zhe wood. , the quiver made of redbud wood, glued by isinglass, a natural killing weapon.

Allen held the black crossbow and loved it very much.

"Where's the crossbow? Here, I want to test fire!" Allen couldn't wait to try the power of this guy.

"My lord, due to time constraints and difficulties in making crossbow bolts, there are only ten arrows," Newman reminded.

Allen looked at the arrow Newman handed over, the diamond-shaped iron arrowhead, and the arrow shaft made of birch wood, the whole body was black and exuded this metallic luster.

Allen slowly put an arrow into the arrow slot, pulled the flexible crossbow string and hung it on the hook, held the trigger with his hand, lifted the crossbow slightly, and pulled the trigger.

With a sound of "嗖", the arrow flew out like a black lightning bolt, piercing the air, hitting the big tree a hundred meters away, stabbing hard on the trunk, and the leaves on the tree fell one after another.

"Okay!" Allen laughed, very satisfied with the power of this crossbow.

Others also cheered.

Newman and the others were also surprised by the power of the crossbow. Seeing the baron laughing happily, they also echoed.

In order to test the actual killing range of this crossbow, Allen conducted many experiments afterwards, and finally found that this crossbow bolt can reach a maximum distance of 250 meters, effectively shooting unarmored soldiers within 200 meters, and killing leather armor soldiers within 150 meters. , within [-] meters can shoot and kill armored soldiers.

That is to say, the crossbow can threaten the armored low-level knights within a hundred meters, but the middle-level knights can protect the knights due to their ability to attach elements, and the power of the crossbow will be weakened.

After waving away the other craftsmen, Allen handed the crossbow to Newman.

"The production method of Newman's crossbow must not be leaked!" Allen solemnly warned Newman.

"Don't worry, my lord. Only I know all the blueprints for making crossbows. Other craftsmen only know a small part of them. The important parts are all in my hands. And this is only the first generation of crossbows, and will be improved through blueprints in the future." ’” Newman replied.

"Okay, you must be defensive!"

"By the way, since this first-generation crossbow has been successfully researched, hurry up and make a batch for the soldiers in the territory to practice. Let's call them Qinghuang crossbow!" Allen reminded.

"Yes, Lord Baron!"

"Since your weapon research branch has researched the crossbow, rewards are essential. Barton will only inform the Finance Department and the Government Affairs Department. Newman's salary will be doubled, and other craftsmen's salary will be increased by [-]%." Allen rewarded generously.

"Yes!" Button behind him replied.

"Thank you Baron for the reward!" Newman blushed with excitement, and his rough hands kept shaking.

In fact, Newman doesn't pay much attention to the rewards, but the rewards the Baron gave to himself and others are the recognition of his own research results. Can he not be excited!The Lord Baron appointed him as the deputy director because of his trust in Newman. If he did not complete the task assigned by the Baron, then what face would he have to face the Baron.
