Chapter 176 The Hidden Family
Bai Youcai looked even more confused: "Village Chief, we didn't see any instructions."
They thought there were no instructions for these things.
"You..." Bai Dashan stared angrily: "What is the use of the mouth? Don't you know how to ask?"
"What a waste of time."
While scolding, Bai Dashan hurriedly rummaged through the box with them. Most of the things given by his aunt came with instructions to let them know how to use them.
Soon, the manual was found, and Bai Mucheng and the others felt embarrassed again.
"Okay, hurry up and pretend, I'll be waiting for you." Bai Dashan didn't bother to scold them.
He just took a few steps, then turned around and warned: "By the way, remember to give it a try after you assemble it, so it doesn't misfire when you use it."
None of these people remembered the instruction manual just now, so it’s no wonder Bai Dashan was worried.
"Village chief, don't worry."
"Village chief, we understand."
With the instructions in hand, Bai Mucheng and his team quickly put together what they had been thinking about for half an hour but couldn't figure out.
Several people circled around the assembled things and pondered for a while.
"Does this thing have such a long range?"
"Although it looks bigger than a crossbow, can it really work?"
Bai Mucheng: "My aunt said that the effective range is three thousand meters, which is six miles." It is also written in the instruction manual.
"Since my aunt said so, there must be no problem." No matter whether you are a boy or a girl, you can't doubt the authenticity of your aunt's words.
After Bai Youcai finished speaking, he walked to the next set of boxes and urged: "There are four more boxes, let's assemble them quickly."
"Yes, it's getting late. I have to press on to the designated position soon."
The rebels wanted to fight at night, but Baitao had no such plan.
Therefore, what Bai Mucheng and the others assembled was a crossbow, which Baitao selected and bought from the mall.
Even with the purchase and upgrade, one set cost her 30,000 coins.
Little did the rebels who were having dinner know that there were already five ballistas set up on the mountain col, with the muzzles facing their camp.
It is said to be a crossbow, but it is actually an improved and upgraded large crossbow. Like a cannon, it can be used for long-range attacks, but the crossbow arrows used are not ordinary crossbow arrows, but upgraded explosive crossbow arrows.
The five ballistae were quickly installed, and by this time, it was almost getting dark.
Bai Dashan observed what was going on down the mountain and reported to Baitao.
"Auntie, the camp at the foot of the mountain became much quieter half an hour ago. I guess the soldiers have started to rest."
Baitao: "Then let's eat quickly."
"Auntie, don't we attack now?"
After the installation, everyone in Taohua Village was looking forward to seeing the effect, while others were amazed at these five big things.
They finally understood why the Baijiapu caravan did not easily let outsiders approach their pack trucks. With such a powerful-looking thing, anyone who came to it would have to be on guard.
"No need."
Bai Dashan looked at the sky and said tangledly: "Auntie, after dinner, I guess I can't see my fingers at the bottom of the mountain."
"You don't have to worry about this. They can't see clearly when it's dark, but it doesn't affect the use of our ballistae." After Baitao finished speaking, he explained: "This ballistae can be equipped with night vision goggles, don't worry."
Night vision goggles?
Bai Dashan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he pondered three words.
Night means night, so the night vision goggles my aunt mentioned are the same as a telescope, a magnifying glass used at night? !
Feeling that his thoughts were inseparable, Bai Dashan stopped worrying and quickly said: "Grandma, I will order everyone to start dinner."
"Yes." Baitao nodded, but did not forget to remind: "Let everyone eat well, some people will be busy at night."
"Hey!"
When these five ballistae were installed, many people saw them.
In the eyes of other people, they were just surprised and shocked, and then they all praised the Baijiabao caravan for its arrogance,
But the reactions from the master and servant Lu Xiaohao were different.
When Yang Song saw it, he was stunned for a long time. After a while, he came back to his senses and said in a low voice full of disbelief: "Master, this?"
"It's an enlarged version of the crossbow." After saying this, Lu Xiaohao looked a little dazed and murmured: "I didn't expect that the Baijiabao caravan even had this."
It is not easy to build such a huge killing weapon. Without powerful and skilled craftsmen, it would take more than ten or twenty years to figure out such a thing.
Even if it can be built in more than ten or twenty years, it will be great.
The Baijiabao caravan is indeed unfathomable.
Suddenly, a flash of suspicion flashed in Lu Xiaohao's eyes.
He had read the anecdotes and secret histories of the royal family, and there seemed to be a record that mentioned that when a dynasty was in a bad and irreversible situation, a hidden clan of people would appear.
This hidden clan has countless talented people and strangers. They tried their best to save the world as soon as they were born. They tried their best to turn the tide, save the world, rescue the suffering people, and prevent starvation everywhere...
Lu Xiaohao thought about it carefully, not to mention that Qingzhou exchanged food and people for crayfish so that the fleeing people could have food to survive.
Just say that along the way, from time to time, the people who followed were given time to find some weird things to exchange for food and meat.
But what everyone found was just some flowers, plants, birds, insects and insects in the forest, and even some wood and stones. These unworthy things could be exchanged for more or less supplies.
Is this an excuse for them to give people food? !
Also by the Qingquan River, those careless people were of no use, but Baijiabao Caravan hired people to do a lot of work.
Lu Xiaohao remembered that before the Baijiabao caravan hired people, several conflicts broke out among the fleeing team.
However, the Baijiapu caravan hired female workers to take care of the grass, and also hired some honest and honest men to work on fishing, so in the next half month, there were no conflicts, and there were very few disputes.
Besides, this time, if you can know what is happening at the bottom of the mountain without sending people down, how can you not know that Yancheng is trapped.
Not only did the caravan not avoid the detour, but it headed straight for Yancheng. Its purpose was to relieve Yancheng and save the people in Yancheng, right? !
Also, the weapons and equipment they use.
No matter how powerful the caravan is, even if the imperial merchants of Jin are rich, they don't have such exquisite and powerful weapons and equipment.
Not to mention the young and middle-aged guards in the Baijiapu caravan, even their young and old, they are extremely disciplined and surprisingly strong.
Some things just don't stand up to scrutiny.
Thinking about this, Lu Xiaohao felt more and more that the Baijiabao caravan was the hidden clan that he had accidentally seen in the records before.
After all, no caravan would be able to carry an entire village, old and young, with men and women out and traveling around.
The most important thing is that they are strict-mouthed and never say anything about their origins. Even if Yang Song overtly or covertly, he never got any information from them.
