Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Five-Unit Bed Crossbow (Part 3)

The last responders were the Melo people who migrated from the attack of the six major lords this time. They have no foundation and no sense of belonging, but they understand the attitude of the lords of the Billy area towards the Melo people.

Merlot people were caught and basically served as slaves for life.

"Fight for freedom! Fight for Melo!"

Three kinds of people, three kinds of slogans, this is the existing public system in Melo Town.

War is just a continuation of politics, and political struggle is the unequal distribution of spoils.

Middle Class, Freedmen, Immigrants! It can also be said that landlords, rich peasants, and tenants are only tenants who farm for the lord.

They all have one thing in common, they must live around the ecological chain of Melo Town established by Aslan.

The corners of Aslan's mouth curled up slightly, as he had achieved what he wanted.

He has never treated the people empty-handed, and he will never give any empty promises. Actual interests are the easiest and most violent way to conquer the people.

As long as the people are well fed and warmly dressed, they will naturally follow their lord wholeheartedly.

Aslan plays this perfectly.

Many people in Melo town began to enlist in the army. This time, Aslan did not specify the number, and he wanted all of them as long as they were of the right age. He didn't know how long this war would last.

He has to do everything he can to explode.

"Third brother, you also go to be a soldier, as long as your second brother is here at home." Old John said firmly while grabbing the shoulder of his sixteen-year-old son next to him.

Old John's eldest son is now serving in the Merlot Army. Because he became the squad leader, the lord has allocated an acre of land to their family. In addition to the one acre that the eldest brother was assigned as a soldier and the one acre of ancestral land, their family is already a A well-known small landlord in the town of Melo.

The days are getting more and more prosperous. Last month, the eldest brother came home and just happened to take a wife with the second child.

Their family has three acres of self-cultivated land, and besides the tax paid every year, there is still a lot of surplus grain. For this wedding, Old John even exchanged grain with the city lord's mansion for two sets of new clothes for his two daughters-in-law. I was so happy, the whole family was happy.

Old John never dared to think of such a day before.

Before Aslan came to Merlot Town, the most he thought about every day was how to marry his three sons in the future.

There is no need to worry about getting a wife now, because there are many women who want to marry into their old John's door.

On the day of the two sons' wedding, the lord sent a gift to express his congratulations.

During that time, their Old John's family had no pretense.

"Father, don't worry! I will definitely not embarrass our family." The youngest George nodded seriously.

Unlike his father, he admires his elder brother's mighty military uniform very much, and he can raise the sword in his hand to fight for the lord.

There are quite a few families like this, especially those who have already joined the army. If the lord had not strongly stipulated that two brothers cannot join the army at the same time, it is estimated that these families would send all the males in the family to the army.

As for those who are neighbors and neighbors of military families, they have long envied the treatment of soldiers for a long time, but the number of recruits each time is limited, and the requirements for soldiers are also very high, and many people have failed.

Now that they are recruiting again, they will naturally not let it go.

Those people who had just immigrated looked at the people in Melo Town who enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and they were all stunned.

When did being a soldier become so popular?

"Fight for the town of Melo!"

Some young people chanted the slogan of joining the army. As many young people responded, the conscription office was quickly overcrowded. Those immigrants who responded a little slower realized that they could not squeeze into the conscription office.

Aslan handed over the rest to Wilson and Essien, and he went directly to the arsenal on the back mountain, which had the largest blacksmith workshop in Merlot Town, and now had dozens of blacksmiths and nearly a hundred blacksmith apprentices.

More than 90% of the weapons and equipment of the Melo army are produced here, and only a few parts that cannot be produced by the blacksmith workshop are produced by Aslan with divine magic.

The Merlot crossbow, a large weapon that can easily penetrate infantry armor, has the most complex and sophisticated crossbow mechanism, and Aslan also requires that the weapon parts be universal, so the crossbow mechanism has not been able to be mass-produced for a long time. Production of Aslan.

Fortunately, the size of the crossbow is not large, and it is not a big project for the magical quasi-object. Aslan produced 500 crossbows in only half a day, and handed them over to the person in charge of the workshop. He got into the heavy weapons workshop.

The so-called heavy weapon workshop does not refer to heavy weapons used by soldiers, such as two-handed battle axes, but heavy siege weapons, such as catapults and bed crossbows.

Since Sino Continent has human-shaped turret professions such as magicians, and there are very few cities with city walls, the wars of ordinary lords are mostly decisive battles in the wild, and the siege battles are dominated by magicians. After the walls are smashed, Hand it over to the army.

This is also the reason why Aslan was able to rise up in the war so quickly in his previous life. He threw catapults and bed crossbows into the battlefield on a large scale, which changed the war pattern of Sino Continent.

Originally, Aslan didn't intend to expose the five-unit bed crossbow so soon, but this time the war did not allow him to hide it.

A five-unit bed crossbow is being assembled in the workshop. Aslan is in charge of the production design. Because of the memory of his previous life, the production of the five-unit bed crossbow is faster than expected. This is also thanks to the furniture factory back then. No furniture factory has trained so many excellent carpenters, and the time it takes to successfully produce and assemble five-unit bed crossbows needs to be doubled.

"My lord! According to what you said, we are already working hard to manufacture the five-unit bed crossbow. The other three teams are already in place. After a week, we should be able to assemble four five-unit bed crossbows."

Kahn, who is in charge of the heavy weapons workshop, said with joy on his face.

The assembly line work taught by the lord is really good. It not only improves work efficiency, but also saves time.

According to the normal working speed in the past, it would be impossible to complete a five-unit bed crossbow from production to successful assembly in less than two months.

"It's not supposed to be, but must be! A week later, when I'm going on an expedition, I must see four five-unit bed crossbows." Aslan said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes! My lord! It's just that these weapons have not been tested in actual combat, and my subordinates are afraid..."

Aslan waved his hand and said: "I know your worries, but there is no time to do actual combat experiments, you can only modify and adjust the first bed crossbow as a standard, I can tell you for sure, these bed crossbows have been put into use in Kyoto Use, performance is worthy of consideration.”
