Regarding Xue Song's courtyard, it must be added that not only can it be raised and lowered on the pillars, but those pillars can also move horizontally.Just turn some winches, and the whole yard, with the pillars supporting it, can move like a giant crab, becoming a huge walking machine.In fact, Xue Song can make his yard attack the enemies in the village, but there is a prerequisite: one hundred people must stay on it and pull the winch according to Xue Song's password.If there were a hundred people, this courtyard would become a terrible war machine, attacking the enemy with its foundation.Unfortunately, there were only two people in the yard at this time, and without hands, it was paralyzed and unable to move.On closer inspection, Xue Song himself is to blame for this.He only allowed himself and Red Thread to board the teak platform, in other words, he didn't trust anyone except Red Thread...

The woman in white said that she hates all kinds of machinery and appliances that I write in my novels; she doesn't know what they are such as winches and slide rails.She has a point, but my head is full of such things, what can I write if I don't write about it?Write about high heels?She is familiar with this kind of thing, but I hate it deeply, especially after being kicked twice by the feet wearing high heels today, I hate it even more.She raised her eyebrows and said: Yo!Take revenge.Well, no more high heels.She just refused to say that she would never kick me again.My back continues to be threatened...

Hongxian thought that Xue Song would rush out of his teak castle and charge towards the assassins gathered in the center of the village.In this way, he will face an enemy dozens of times larger than himself. Although the front is fully armed, the back is still exposed;Although she knows nothing about war, she still knows how to fight in groups.So she also armed herself: put her hair on her head, picked out all the firewood and vegetable knives at home, found a moderate weight, and held it in her right hand.As for the left hand, she held a pot lid.All the things in Xue Song's house are made by himself. They are strong, durable, and beautiful. In short, they all look like things; this pot lid is no exception.It is made of teak wood.An inch thick, it could be used as a shield.Hongxian followed Xue Song, ready to protect his back, thinking that he was going to leave home to fight; but Xue Song didn't run out the door, but ran back.He opened the door of the warehouse and pushed out what looked like a fire ladder—it was mounted on a four-wheeled cart.The red thread helped him push this strange thing to the open space in front of the door. Xue Song fixed the wheel with triangular wood and unfolded the original folded parts; only then did he find that it turned out to be a huge crossbow.It turned out that Xue Song didn't plan to rush out, he planned to stay in the castle—that is, to hide in a safe place and cast cold arrows.That being the case, Hongxian didn't understand why Xue Song put on so many armors in a pretentious manner.I think the answer to this question should be: create atmosphere.

Xue Song's ballista stopped on the edge of the castle.The bow on the crossbow is made of a whole sorbus tree, and the bowstring is a rope made of four tendons twisted.He and Red Thread stretched the bow with the help of a winch, and loaded an arrow—the arrow shaft was a solid white wax shaft, and I thought it would be more correct to call it a javelin.At this point, the crossbow looked like a modern missile launcher, ready to go.Xue Song boarded the aimer's seat, shook the steering gear and the altitude gear, and aimed the crossbow at the enemy.As mentioned earlier, this place is quite far from the center of the village, and only a group of people can be seen indistinctly.Just like this, an arrow shot out may probably hit someone.But Xue Song's tricks are far more than that.He also has an optical sight consisting of two bronze sunpipes.As we all know, Yangsui is a concave mirror invented by the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was originally used to make fire.Xue Song creatively assembled them together and turned them into a reflective telescope.Looking through it, a person's head is as big as a large watermelon at a distance of more than two miles.He aimed carefully inside, but he didn't know whom to aim at.For myself, this goal is a suspense.
