- Chapter 555 [Go together? ¡¿
"I really hope this snow will continue to fall for a few more days, preferably another three to five months."
Chen Daolin stood at the gate of the main fortress of the northwest fortress, looking at the north in the distance, and sighed quietly.
"I remember you said before that you hate snow." There was a hint of sarcasm in Rodel's words.
"If this snow can not help me stop the orcs from going south, I would rather let it continue." Chen Daolin pouted, then spread his hands: "Unfortunately, we all know that winter will pass sooner or later - in fact, it It¡¯s almost over.¡±
"We have made a lot of preparations, haven't we?" Rodel was also frowning. Her frown was a bit cute, and Chen Daolin couldn't help but take a second look.
¡°No amount of preparation is enough.¡±
Chen Daolin shook his head.
In the past month, three "tidal magic engines" have been carried onto the city wall one after another.
Yes, there are only three.
Although the tidal magic engine he originally designed was just a stupid, big, black and rough thing - no matter how fine it is, you can't expect the level of craftsmanship in this world to be able to produce it, let alone the students and teachers of the magic academy.
In fact, Chen Daolin still overestimated their productivity. In one month, this group of students and teachers produced six units, but after testing, only two were usable in the end.
Together with the prototype machine made by Chen Daolin himself, it was carried to the fortress's defense.
The city defense originally had a strong arrow tower. After dismantling the ballista inside and moving it away, a storage space was dug out. Then the southern part of the city wall was dismantled and copper pipes were connected
The only thing that looks a little ridiculous is the rows of newly built small blast furnaces behind the city defense.
This row of blast furnaces is not just for fun, in fact, they can provide heat energy to the tidal magic engine during wartime. That is the element of fire.
In your spare time, you can still make steel.
At present, Chen Daolin's warehouse has dozens of tons of steel smelted in this small blast furnace - by world standards, this kind of steel is naturally inferior, but in a feudal era with backward metallurgical technology This kind of thing is enough to create the best weapons.
After seeing these steel materials, Montoya, who is Chen Daolin's current number one fighter - er, or the number one fighter, made a suggestion. He was very interested in these high-quality steel materials and thought they could be made. Develop a batch of the finest weapons and armor.
Especially the armor! This kind of steel can be used to create the strongest and strongest full-body steel armor. And the weight is much lighter than the current full-body armor manufactured by the Roland Empire!
If you can equip the cavalry
But Chen Daolin expressed that he was not very interested in this suggestion.
If there are sufficient sources of troops, a sea of ??cavalry and infantry can be unleashed, play the human wave tactic, wear this kind of superior equipment armed to the teeth, and then overwhelm the orcs - this is of course a very beautiful scene.
But Chen Daolin still had to bear the pain and shed tears to give up the idea.
After all, I watched a lot of Lao Maozi¡¯s movies when I was young. The scene of Lao Maozi¡¯s wave-like charge and the 10,000-strong army shouting ¡°Ula¡± and then marching forward like a tide is indeed very beautiful and very exciting.
But where did you ask Brother Darling to find so many soldiers? !
The soldiers he has now are very capable. We can¡¯t even attract thousands of people!
The Huabing originally used to control the entry and exit of the northwest fortress defrauded the support of dozens of chambers of commerce and defrauded thousands of guards
But the problem is that businessmen are born to pursue profits. But businessmen also refuse to engage in loss-making business!
Now it seems that there is more and more information about the orcs going south Those chambers of commerce naturally backed down.
In times of peace, it was one thing for each family to come up with hundreds of people and create a northwest trade route to share the money.
But knowing that there is going to be a war, this trade route will definitely be destroyed at this time. Who is willing to throw the lives of his guards into the water in vain?
In fact, this winter, Chen Daolin also spent a lot of effort trying to continue to persuade those chambers of commerce. But the effect is not good.
Many chambers of commerce have backed down.
This phenomenon, even after defeating the orc attack last time, has not been able to re-energize the chamber of commerce.
??After all, they are a chamber of commerce, not a national government. Things like fighting are not within the bounden duty of a businessman.
??It¡¯s naturally good for adults to gather people to do business and make money, but you want everyone to gather people to fight together?
It¡¯s faster to shake your head.
Several chambers of commerce have already withdrawn their escorts. There are still a few whose escort teams were not in place originally, so there is no need to count on them at this time.
The only ones who continue to support Chen Daolin are the Liszt Family Chamber of Commerce and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
Although the fat man Angulo has never come to the northwest, he has actually regained contact with Chen Daolin through his chamber of commerce.
This fat man showed his loyalty and sent a convoy of two hundred people. They all brought their own weapons and dry food, and were capable thugs. As for the rest, Fatty Angulo was helpless. After all, Fatty An's life in the imperial capital was not easy. A lot of new nobles were staring at him with green eyes, trying to eat up his business.
The Liszt family sent a guard of five hundred people - three hundred of them were recruited mercenaries, and two hundred were slaves of the Liszt family, sent in the name of Rodele's dowry.
Brother Darling can only hold his nose and accept it - anyway, now, he has been tied to Rodel, and now there is no possibility of parting ways with this chick.
Especially for this little girl Rodel, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s just waiting for you to touch her bed one night, right?
In other words, all the armed forces currently in Chen Daolin's hands are weaker and have fewer troops than when he defeated the orcs last time.
In addition to the thousands of people in his original military team, there are only a few people from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Lister family.
With full calculations, it is already the limit to be able to gather more than two thousand soldiers.
With such a small number of troops, you can play a human sea hedging tactic with the orcs? How stupid do you have to be to do that? !
Chen Daolin is absolutely certain that the next time the orcs invade, the number of troops will definitely be in the tens of thousands.
With just the few soldiers I have, even if I give each of them a set of full-body steel armor and steel blades - send them to the battlefield to fight hand-to-hand with the orcs? Such a small force. It's definitely for food delivery.
There is absolutely no need to think about hand-to-hand combat.
Chen Daolin¡¯s focus is on long-range.
He ordered a large number of crossbow arrows.
Then he ordered Master Kang¡¯s workshop to use all its power to make arrowheads¡ªall-steel arrowheads!
This kind of sword has a special name in the Roland Empire, called Armor-piercing Arrow.
Except for the two days of the New Year, after the New Year, almost the entire territory of Chen Daolin was mobilized, thousands of civilians were requisitioned, and the entire northwest fortress turned into a large construction site.
Directly north of the northwest fortress, several trenches were dug on the ground. A large number of trees were cut down and countless resistance horses were planted, densely piled on the ground north of the northwest fortress.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, I saw the crooked trenches on the ground. Coupled with the piles of horses and sharp wooden sticks, it looked like a ruins.
If possible, Chen Daolin would of course want to create a war weapon like barbed wire.
"It's a pity that the metallurgical technology in this world and the technology of drawing wire have not yet matured. It is too difficult to make wire. A small amount of wire was not enough to lay out a thick enough barbed wire fence in front of the defense line.
We can only use trenches and horse barriers as substitutes.
With these things blocking the north side of the northwest fortress, you can slow down the enemy's direct attack on the city wall. The time it takes for the enemy to pass through the area covered by the firepower of the defenders' crossbows and magic cannons is greatly reduced, which will cause greater damage.
This is the best solution Chen Daolin can think of.
As for the Holy Order
Chen Daolin is not blindly arrogant.
The orcs had holy orders more than a hundred years ago! How many days have you entered the holy level?
When the time comes, this kind of battle between holy masters will really happen. I, a pink and green newcomer to the holy class, will probably not be able to defeat someone who is more than a hundred years old. Dragging Dean Carmen along with him, if he could fight without winning or losing, it would be a joke.
What a pity I wish I could have a thousand guns.
Don¡¯t even think about the AK47, don¡¯t even think about the Thompson submachine gun, and don¡¯t even think about the 38mm cover.
Having a thousand breech-loading rifled guns is a luxury!
Gunpowder is not the problem. Chen Daolin can come up with the best formula in minutes.
But the problem is, can¡¯t even make a gun barrel!
Without a real industry, we can¡¯t let craftsmen draw rifling by hand, right? !
Relying on city defense and a large number of armor-piercing arrows. Magic cannons, and dozens of magicians as mobile forts This is Chen Daolin's core defensive tactic.
After his own calculation, under this premise. His northwest fortress can withstand the impact of no more than 10,000 orc troops at most.
If there are morethen one will definitely lose.
Of course, the premise is that the opponent also has a holy level. If the opponent does not use the holy level, Chen Daolin is confident that he can block 20,000 to 30,000 orcs.
The worst case scenario is that I, a holy master, personally go into battle to decapitate an admiral out of ten thousand troops. The beheading tactic is very effective.
¡°The population in the northwest is still too small.¡±
Chen Daolin sighed.
Rodel squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin: "Darling, there is a question I have never asked you."
"What?"
Chen Daolin frowned and looked at this girl - is she trying to force a marriage?
"If I mean if." Rodel sighed and whispered: "If the orcs go south and we can't stop them and defeat them what are your plans?"
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment.
Intend?
What else can you plan? Of course he took his woman and friends and ran away!
Barossa Summer Hook and several of his apprentices will definitely be taken away, and this little girl Rodelle will definitely be taken away As for the others Montoya will probably follow him, Pi Baron Earl and his son were too embarrassed to leave him alone.
Others are just
There are tens of thousands of believers, priests and deacons they all have to accept their destiny.
Brother Darling is no saint. There is no great mission to save the common people. When that time comes, you can only run as far as you can with your true "ones".
The power of the Roland Empire has nothing to do with me.
In fact, if Dean Carmen hadn¡¯t brought a group of magicians to force him, Chen Daolin would have planned to run away.
No, more accurately. If that woman Du Weiwei hadn't tricked him, he wouldn't be sitting on the crater of the Northwest Fortress! !
"You are planning to leave, right?" Rodel already knew Chen Daolin's character very well. One look at Chen Daolin's eyes and he knew what he was thinking.
"Even so." Chen Daolin nodded.
"Even if I am leaving, there must be a place to go." Rodel looked around, lowered her voice and said: "Have you thought about where to go? To the Imperial Capital or Loulan City?"
this is a problem!
Chen Daolin looked solemn.
Hilo and his own Liang Zi were too big and went to the capital. Although Hilo didn't dare to embarrass himself, after all, the master of the Holy Sub -master was not to play. But He also brought so many people with him, so it was easy for Shiloh to seize the opportunity and blackmail him.
Going to Loulan Cityit seems to be the same way. but¡¡
That woman Du Weiwei is a bit scary just thinking about it.
Did you really go to Tulip¡¯s house and make up your mind to live a life of soft food? !
Chen Daolin looked into Rodel's eyes and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates behind him.
"Dean Carmen is visiting."
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment.
Dean Carmen?
¡°What is this dean doing coming to the fortress to look for me when he¡¯s not playing with the magic engine in the laboratory?
But soon, the dean¡¯s figure in a red dress floated in front of Chen Daolin.
Carmen¡¯s face was very serious. She didn¡¯t even glance at Rodel, who was bowing to her, and stared at Chen Daolin with serious eyes. He stated his purpose straightforwardly.
"I decided to go to the northwest."
"Huh??" Chen Daolin didn't react.
"Loulan City." Carmen added.
Chen Daolin's expression changed: "Are you going to meet the Tulip family?"
"Yes." Carmen nodded: "The situation in the northwest cannot be dragged on any longer! I can't even watch that little girl misbehave! The Tulip family should be the pillars of the country, not sinners!"
From the bottom of his heart, Chen Daolin is naturally willing to raise his hands in approval!
Now I am in embarrassment?Isn¡¯t this situation caused by Du Weiwei!
Du Weiwei left the Northwest Fortress to himself and withdrew the Northwest Division that originally guarded it
The most terrible thing is. She also threatened war and did not allow Panin to send troops to take over the place! As a result, the blame could only fall on Brother Darling!
If Panin can send a division of Thunder God¡¯s Whip, why is Chen Daolin so embarrassed?
But the problem is that now Du Weiwei's conspiracy has been achieved.
The current situation is. Even if Panin wanted to send people to take over the northwest fortress, he couldn't send anyone.
The latest news is that Panin¡¯s army has reduced its defense. At present, the grassland people have crossed the border of Nulin Province, surrounded the defense line around Mulan City, and are attacking Panin's base camp.
At this time, Panin did not have any troops to support him.
And that woman Du Weiwei has been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers, she must have smiled crookedly!
"It is indeed wrong for Shiloh to try to instigate rebellion against the Northwest Division. It offends the interests of the nobility and violates the empire's nobility law, but Du Weiwei has gone too far. Now the fate of the country is the key, and she cannot be allowed to continue running amok. "Dean Carmen said in a deep voice: "I am the dean of the Hogwarts branch, and I am also a member of the Tulip faction. I have some status in the Tulip family. I can't sit back and watch her continue to act like this. I plan to go Let¡¯s go to Loulan City and convince her! If she still insists on being stubborn, I also plan to lobby the family officials in the Tulip family to oppose her strategy!¡±
Chen Daolin didn't say anything when he heard it, but he felt a little disapproval in his heart.
It is probably impossible to convince Du Weiwei - this woman knows herself too well and will never change the things she is sure about. When needed, she can be more iron-blooded than a man!
This situation in the northwest was created by her. This woman is too thoughtful. She is probably playing a very big game of chess. It is impossible for her to give up at this time.
Forced coercion? Not to mention the strength of the Tulip family, she is a saint herself and is not afraid of Carmen, a saint at all.
As for lobbying within the Tulip family it might be possible if it was before the Northwest Division rebellion.
But Du Weiwei led three thousand cavalry to attack thousands of miles away, frightened away the whip of the thunder god, extinguished Sylvester's rebellion with lightning speed, and deposed Sylvester in public He just made her a member of the family. Prestige has been established among the military and civilians, and he is no longer the young leader that everyone in the family dissatisfied with!
Now Du Weiwei is the real owner of the Tulip family!
But
Since Dean Carmen is willing to get into trouble with this, let her go, there is no harm in it anyway.
¡° And Du Weiwei will not do anything to hurt the dean, after all, everyone¡¯s love is still there.
What if it can happen?
Besides, Carmen is not in the northwest fortress, so the pressure on her is lighter.
most¡¡
It¡¯s best for Du Weiwei to pull down the door! Then the orcs called, and without Dean Carmen by his side to force him, he could run away
Well, that¡¯s a good choice!
"Darling Chen! Come with me!" The dean stared at Chen Daolin and said decisively.
