Not long after.
Fengling Army, training ground.
Liu Feng personally took the lead and ordered people to bring up a huge bed crossbow.
Assembly began on site, and other bases were basically assembled as one piece, mainly the crossbow arm.
After Liu Feng stabilized it with the mortise and tenon structure, he then pulled the huge pull rod.
With the sound of wooden gears clicking, it was soon fully engaged, and a huge crossbow opened its arms.
Liu Feng not only made twelve crossbows, but also made a large number of wooden spears.
These wooden spears are not ordinary ones. The wooden spears used in the bed crossbow are as thick as an arm and more than three meters long, with the arrowheads pointed by axes.
Although ordinary, its lethality and terrifying 500-step distance can send chills down one's spine.
"Such a big bow."
"These arrows can be used as rafters."
Zhongli Mei gasped as he watched from the side.
"This way of pulling it open is light and very labor-saving."
Linghu Xiaoshan looked at the jagged gears, her eyes full of surprise.
"Target, five hundred paces."
Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and placed a scarecrow five hundred steps away.
Liu Feng chuckled. Using a scarecrow as a target at a distance of five hundred steps was too much of a waste for his crossbow.
"That's it? Or a target? Go get something that can take a beating."
"Then set it up, and put ten targets at the back, lined up in a row."
Linghu Xiaoshan's beautiful eyes turned, and although she had doubts, she still arranged it according to Liu Feng's request.
Soon, five hundred steps away, three extremely tightly packed haystacks were arranged in the shape of a triangle.
Liu Feng looked at the distance, adjusted the crosshairs slightly, and then decisively pulled the trigger.
As the arrow hit the haystack, a loud noise erupted.
All I saw was the ground being blown open all of a sudden. The haystack in the front was blown apart directly, flying all over the sky. None of the three haystacks were spared. Then, the ten targets behind were all swept away by the remaining impact force and shattered into pieces.
Just the effect of a giant arrow turned the entire battlefield into a mess.
"Oh my god."
“This power.”
Zhongli Mei was completely frightened.
"This arrow is so powerful. If it were on the battlefield, one arrow could kill a large group of enemies. Not to mention more, killing more than ten people with one arrow would be a piece of cake."
"The haystacks were blown away. If anyone was hit by the arrow, I'm afraid they would be blown to pieces."
"Not to mention being torn to pieces, it's absolutely fatal."
Liu Feng smiled faintly.
Continue to pick up a giant arrow and start acting.
"Look carefully, this is just one way of using it."
The wood used for this giant arrow is huge, and the tip of the arrow has been hollowed out by Liu Feng, and a lot of small caltrops and other highly lethal objects have been placed inside.
As Liu Feng drew the bow.
Another arrow was successfully shot.
A dull sound of breaking through the air.
The moment the arrow left the string, the arrow body trembled rapidly, throwing all the hidden weapons away.
Wherever they passed, any object they encountered was nailed with caltrops.
This is a real killer weapon for defending the city.
"Is it still possible?"
Linghu Xiaoshan looked surprised.
After Liu Feng left last time, he arranged for people to cast caltrops, and now the army has a stock of five or six thousand.
According to Liu Feng's plan, she also raised a lot of ironware in the city.
Linghu Xiaoshan only realized in practice that Liu Feng's wisdom was terrifying.
"What is this?"
Liu Feng chuckled and took out the third giant arrow.
This one is a bit special. The top is completely hollowed out, and the thing inside is quicklime.
The quicklime was what was left over from his iron smelting. Although this thing was not gunpowder, it would explode when placed in a sealed object under force. It was specifically used to deal with the eyes and vena cava of cavalry.
In case of contact, eyes will become ineffective.
The moment the third arrow was shot, it hit the newly placed haystack and exploded instantly.
A white mist appeared, and everything within a few miles became white.
"quicklime?"
Linghu Xiaoshan looked at Liu Feng in surprise. Unless there was a special need, the army would generally not be equipped with such things.
In the eyes of ordinary generals, quicklime is just something used by the people in the martial arts world to attack others by surprise. Why did Liu Feng use it on the battlefield?
"Yes, it's quicklime."
"Quicklime is a very lethal weapon. If it comes into contact with normal skin, it will only cause a slight burning sensation, but for the eyes, quicklime is the nemesis."
"Once it makes contact with the eyes, it can quickly disable a person."
"To achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting."
"What? Quicklime has such an effect?"
Linghu Xiaoshan turned her head and looked at Zhongli Mei in disbelief. She was a lady from a wealthy family and knew very little about many things in the folk.
Zhongli Mei also laughed dryly.
"I have heard some of it."
"But quicklime is usually spread when people are least prepared. I'm afraid Mr. Liu is the only one who has weaponized it like this."
After witnessing the power of the crossbow, Zhongli Mei was completely convinced of Liu Feng. The crossbow had a range of 500 steps, such huge power, and special giant arrows. It was a powerful weapon for defending the city.
He even directly addressed Liu Feng as "Mr.", not even calling him "Adult".
"But these arrows are for testing. I don't have time to make so many arrows for you."
