C307 Tang army (1/2)

”Right, take out those weapons used to capture people and bring them back alive!” Looking at the team of riders ready to leave, Xiao Wen suddenly said.

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, everyone was startled, but they immediately reacted and took out a strange shaped weapon from the armory.

These weapons were divided into two categories: one was called a catcher's fork, and the other was called a retainer.

The so-called catcher was a weapon used in prisons in modern Europe, from the 16th to the 19th century. The weapon, which is 1.2 to 2 metres long and weighs 1 to 2 kilograms, evolved from a truncheon for capturing livestock.

He had a long pole with a trap attached to the top. The condom was made of high-explosive steel, in the shape of a Greek letter, ”omega.” Inside the spring steel was seven sharp spikes, and if the prisoner ran away, he would use this weapon to catch him. After catching up with the prisoner, he would put the constable's condom on his head, making it hard for him to run away.

Xiao Wen had once seen police patrolling at a train station in the country with this kind of thing. Just for humanitarian reasons, China, or the modern world, would remove the seven sharp spikes from the spring steel sheath when it was making the catcher's fork.

However, even if the steel spike was removed, as long as this thing was attached to a person's neck, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to escape.

However, the other weapon, the one used to keep guests, was not as civilized.

Its appearance could almost be described as savage.

Residence was a weapon used by the police in ancient China. From the shape of the weapon, it should be a heavy javelin.

This kind of heavy javelin had two barbed hooks below its edge.

The pattern is found in Ming Wangqi's ”Eight Volumes of Weapons Used in Painting of the Three Geniuses”, which mainly deals with Jiang Yang bandits and mountain bandits.

”The second time” wrote: ”outside in the torchlight, steel forks, saber, five-strand forks, guest retention, like the setting of the hemp forest.”

The reason why this weapon was called ”Stay with guests” was because it was extremely powerful. If one didn't want to kill it, they would capture it alive. If one didn't want to live, they would live.

His intuition told Xiao Wen that someone must be behind this matter. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those bandits to have so many abnormal actions.

He knew that for thousands of years, no matter how it changed, even if the earth accelerated, using the gravity of Jupiter and Saturn as a gravity catapult, and wandered all the way to Centaurus, the old master remained the same, self-righteous, and intelligent.

Since they were looking for trouble with Xiao Wen, then Xiao Wen did not mind going back to look for trouble with them.

After all, in the court battle on the surface, Xiao Wen still had to observe the rules more or less. However, if one left this layer of rules, the one who would be at a disadvantage would definitely not be Xiao Wen.

After all, in terms of unconventional methods, no one in this world had more of them than Xiao Wen.

As long as he wished, he could configure the pure gunpowder and then learn from DuPont's experience when dealing with competitors. He could send the enemy an aircraft directly into the ground.

”As long as... As long as I know who is doing this to me, that's enough! ” Xiao Wen thought.

The number of people in the group was limited. Many people were unable to ride their war horses to attack. Hence, the remaining people all climbed onto the top of the horse carriage and started shooting at the enemies outside with crossbow s.

The occasional scream that came from the forest proved that their attack was a success.

Very quickly, the Thieves in the forest ran out due to a loss of morale.

Obviously, these thieves couldn't even take 10% of the casualties compared to the ones above.

As long as one in ten died, the remaining nine would surely flee in fright.

However, on the carriage's roof, Xiao Wen roughly counted the number of bandits, and his heart skipped a beat.

This was because the bandits surrounding them numbered more than three hundred.

With so many people, there was only one possibility — this group of bandits actually consisted of more than ten gangs of bandits.
