Chapter 415 Belongs to us
Chen Fan looked at Mo Jian: "Attack now? What were they doing before?"

Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "In the past, there were poor mountains and poor villages. What was there to attack?"

"But now the wall is built." Chen Fan felt that the difficulty of attacking had increased.

"If you are good at Qinggong, you won't be afraid of your low wall." Chen Zhongyan said calmly.

Zhang Ci stood up: "Let's go and see, if you stay here, if you get pregnant, it will be bad for the fetus."

"I'm still uneasy staying here." Chen Fan felt that the unknown situation would only make him more worried.

"I'll stay with you." Chen Zhongyan sat still.

Chen Fan poured him a cup of tea: "This chair is not warm yet, so I just sit for a while and get a feel for this office."

"The office is very nice. You don't have to worry over there. We can see clearly and can take precautions in advance. It's a small space and staff can be mobilized quickly."

Chen Fan glanced at him: "How many telescopes have you made? How many instruments?"

There is a quartz mine in Yuanshuo County. Zhang Ci thought about producing glass, but never did it.Chen Zhongyan has now built a glass factory.

"Both my brother-in-law and I have ground a few pieces of glass. If the grinding is not good, I fired a batch directly when I built the factory. In addition to window glass, we mainly make tea sets, fruit bowls and vases."

Chen Fan agrees: "It is crystal clear, and the fruit looks more attractive. How many telescopes have you made? If there are too many, it is easy to reveal the secret."

Chen Zhongyan smiled: "A few important guards carry it with them, and they cannot use it when other people are around. After all, you need a few pairs of eyes to keep an eye on the southeast and northwest."

It has been so long since the telescope was made, it is impossible for Chen Zhongyan not to do something.

"Where's the equipment?" Chen Fan continued to ask.

"There are crossbows, repeating crossbows, and giant crossbows, which can cover various distances. There are also ladders, which are also good for climbing trees and mountains; there are also siege engines and catapults." Chen Zhongyan replied proudly, "You You should have asked me a long time ago.”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'll help you keep a secret. Have you become a carpenter too?"

Chen Zhongyan was very proud: "I drew the blueprints, and I made the catapult. I must have something to do here."

Chen Fan nodded: "Very good, have you done the Jinglan, Chongche and Duhao equipment?"

"Jinglan is done, and the commanding heights of archery must still be occupied. The other two things have not been done, and we have no plans to attack Chengbazhai now."

"These few things are enough. If you do too much in the mountains, you won't be able to use them."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by several more.

Chen Zhongyan stood up abruptly, and Chen Fan also froze.

This sound, if it is not thunder, it is the sound of an explosion.What is the situation that requires the use of bombs?
Chen Zhongyan stared at Chen Fan: "Bomb? Is it powerful?"

Chen Fan said: "Theoretically, it is very powerful. You can hear it clearly from such a distance, so it shouldn't be too bad."

Qin Zheng walked in: "Don't worry, City Lord, there are doctors and medicinal materials over there, and the injured will be treated in time. If there is any news from over there, I will report it to the City Lord in time."

Chen Zhongyan saw her clenched her fists and said, "Let's go to the yard to tend the flowers and plants. Running outside at this time will only make people panic."

Zhang Ci stood on the hillside, watching the situation on the field, beside him was Chu Sheng.Mo Jian and the others went to each other's cottage.

Chu Sheng came back and began to report the news.The bandits on the other side hijacked a group of people to stand in front of them and covered them to shoot arrows.In the distance are hundreds of bandits on horseback.

Yunfeng and the others were afraid of hurting the people, so they just defended and didn't shoot arrows.A group of masters on the other side used lightness kung fu and wanted to take the opportunity to fly over the city wall, but they failed.

Be afraid of what is on the ground, but you will not be afraid of what is in the sky.Arrows shot at them like locusts, and those who escaped by chance were also Xiangjian's daggers and hidden weapons.

Seeing that some manpower was lost, the bandits shouted loudly: "If you don't open the door, I will kill them all!" As they said, blood was drawn on the necks of the people.

The soldiers were very angry.Zhang Ci nodded, and Yunfeng sent an order to open the door.The opponent's large army immediately rushed towards the gate of the city on horseback and wielding knives.

Zhang Ci threw a bomb, and the earth-shattering sound scared the other party out of their wits.The horse was injured and frightened, and many bandits fell down.Taking advantage of the dumbfounded time of those bandits, countless arrows and crossbows were shot out, shooting the bandits who were holding them down to the ground.The soldiers rushed out and quickly returned to the city with the people on their backs.

The bandits who came back to their senses became furious and fought back crazily.The soldiers showed no mercy and continued to drop several bombs.Thousands of bandits fell in a pool of blood, and some were shot by arrows.

After listening to Chu Sheng's story, Chen Fan asked her, "You came back from there so soon?"

Chu Sheng said: "It's only more than thirty miles, and the road is easy to walk. Hurry up and arrive soon."

Zhao Yun sent in a note saying that the battle was over and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.

How to clean, the note didn't say.Those bandits use the people as human shields. They are not soft-hearted people. When they rush in, they will only burn, kill, loot and harm the people.There is no need to be soft on them.

Some of our soldiers suffered minor arrow wounds, and Chen Fan was slightly relieved.

This is not a large-scale, cruel formal war, and casualties should be avoided as much as possible.

An hour later, new news came. Mo Jian and the others had captured the other side's stronghold, and found that all the mountains here had returned to Huacheng.

Chen Fan asked, "How far is the mountain from the lake?"

"I haven't gone to see it yet. I guess it's more than ten miles away. It's all flat land. The village may be controlled by the forces by the lake." Chu Sheng replied.

The forces by the lake and the forces in the mountains, Chen Fan stroked his forehead, they must be big bandits in the eyes of the four surrounding countries.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and said, "Let's start the fortifications over there as well. As the outer city, this is the inner city."

Zhang Ci came back and was a little surprised when he heard Nanny Xu say it was time to start dinner: "Have you not eaten yet?"

"We'll eat together when you come back." Chen Fan accompanied him to the back room, "First wash your hands and change your clothes."

Chen Zhongyan asked about the battle in detail, and then began to discuss how the officials would arrange it.

One or two towns will be set up there, managed by a combination of scholars, guards and farming experts.

Zhang Ci said: "Looking at the land by the lake, I am very moved. But right now I can only hold on to these hills. Yuanhu Lake is vast, even if it occupies a sufficient area, it will not be able to sail smoothly."

The branch of Yuanhu Lake flows into the Huaihe River, but there is a small piece of land of Lu State in between.

Chen Fan said: "We have so many lands now, I am very satisfied. The question is, will the four countries take action?"

Chen Zhongyan looked serious: "They will definitely have ideas. You only occupy one cottage, and others won't pay much attention to you. All the cottages in the east of the lake belong to us. First of all, there seem to be two camps with the forces by the lake. They, Us. Those gangs are probably ganging up on us."

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "I'm not afraid, the mountainous area is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Your equipment just happens to be more useful."

Chen Fan was not afraid that the Four Kingdoms would attack with their apparent troops, otherwise it would be another four-nation melee.However, there are more forces in the world to invade, and it is also a very troublesome and even dangerous thing.
