Chapter 96: Sending Troops to the Battle
On April 18, after staying in the city of London for a few days to inspect the work of the three departments, and to learn about the development and construction, facility construction, and trade turnover in the city of London for more than a month, Sun Lin was accompanied by the general guard who had been expanded to 32 and the star rank had been upgraded to 5 stars (plus Leo and Sun Lin, who were stranded in York, and he himself had 34 people). Along the way, Sun Lin slowly came to the Nottingham Collar after a half-trip and half-inspection experience.
Looking at the emerald green fields on both sides of the stone, Sun Lin felt a lot in his heart. Although in the northwest continent region, thanks to the help of the system, large areas of farmland are lined with forests and streams, but its scale is definitely not comparable to the current New Delhi Peninsula, and in the past year or so, the total grain produced by the New Delhi Peninsula has accounted for 30% of the total grain production of the empire today. And because the New Delhi Peninsula is different from other territories, due to the quality of the land on the New Delhi Peninsula, the New Delhi Peninsula is destined to become a cultivation and planting base for grain, vegetables and animal husbandry, and even Sun Lin has plans to move the establishment of the merchant guild to the trading center of the northwest continent today, and in the future Sun Lin is about to transform it into Cortiskamia, the capital of the Warsaw League of Chengdu Berlin, and then establish a horse herder's guild in London. In this way, in the Nottingham Collar's newly built forging guild and the spear arena that has begun to be built, the whole training will take 1 day, and the slowest round trip will be more than 2 days, Sun Lin can immediately obtain a team of 2-star cavalry troops in just 1 week or so, and when all the facilities are completed and the two guilds are upgraded to the main guild level, Sun Lin can immediately obtain a team of 6-star cavalry troops.
Compared with the two territories of the New Delhi Peninsula, the 4 territories of the King Continent are a bit mediocre, and the grain output produced in the territory can only meet the needs of the territory for 3 quarters at most, and it is completely unable to reach the ability to export grain, but perhaps the so-called "If God closes a door for you, then he may open a window for you, even a rat hole is possible!" Although the grain production in the 4th territory is not high, because the terrain and climate in the 4th territory are biased towards the tropical rainforest climate, the 4th territory has the products that are very much needed and cannot be produced on the New Delhi Peninsula.
After touring the endless fields and tall and lush jungles, Sun Lin finally saw the Nottingham fortress that had covered 40% of it in the God's Blessing Canyon, but only 18% of the inhabitable mountain flatland, the cliff caves and valley basins were cleared and dug out, and the rest of the area was either a trap area that could kill orcs hundreds of times with a single step, an asphalt area and a slope of more than 70% The surface was polished smoother than a glass ball, and the cliffs made of milky white marble were made. Either that, all the engineers in the city, the Yoman longbowmen, are stationed, and all kinds of weapons to defend the city are stored, including the giant ballista that was installed only half a month ago, and the stone tower of the city wall with an average height of more than 25 meters.
In fact, if you calculate according to the game, in addition to being more durable than the castle, the biggest advantage is that the fortress can be divided into the outer city and the inner city, unlike the castle, as long as you break through a city wall, the granary, armory, and vault in the city are like a girl who has been stripped naked in front of others, and the fortress will give those enemies who have taken a lot of effort to break through a section of the city wall and are about to rush into the city to plunder. The enemy with a more dense number of guards poured a basin of cold water, and since the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall of the current Nottingham fortress was exactly 1.5 times the range of the counterweight trebuchet (which can also be called a return cannon, which is the most powerful siege weapon in the cold weapon era, and it is also the largest, and can only be produced after Sun Lin needs to build a siege equipment factory), even the earliest siege artillery may not be able to hit outside the city, let alone the giant human trebuchets made by goblins. Therefore, the siege weapons made by the goblins today can not cause any damage to the inner city in addition to helping the orcs break through the outer layer, and most of the outer city is the living area of the half-orcs, which will be destroyed if it is destroyed, and it will be rebuilt when the time comes. And even if the goblins were clever enough to disassemble and reassemble the equipment on the streets of the city, would Bobby agree? And you must know that in the field battle, humans may not be able to defeat the orcs, but in the street battle, the human warriors with the ability to organize and cooperate can completely rely on the narrow streets to block countless orc warriors, especially now that Nottingham City has the heavy swordsman and the heavy sergeant, the two types of troops with super high defense and attack power are not weak, the opponent's wind raider or orc heavy infantry are very effective, and the light cavalry against the heavy spearmen, and the two-handed heavy infantry against the one-handed sword-type heavy infantry are all recognized as the objects of abuse.
In fact, to be honest, Sun Lin came out to inspect whether the building structure planning in the lower city meets the needs of street warfare, and the rest such as the allocation of personnel and troops, the storage of military ammunition, and the establishment of trap asphalt Sun Lin directly had a glimpse of it, as for the Yoman longbowmen, feudal knights and heavily armed swordsmen, Sun Lin only looked at the equipment configuration and combat methods of a few soldiers selected by Bao Competition in the castle barracks, and Sun Lin didn't look at it at all, like his team fighting, Sun Lin didn't look at it at all, not because he didn't pay attention to it, Rather, he is completely at ease with these issues.
Needless to say, if 8,000 Yoman longbowmen, about 200 city-defending weapons, and 8,000 heavy infantry hand-to-hand soldiers could not defend the 25-meter-high city wall, it is estimated that not to mention Sun Lin or Bobby at that time, even these soldiers themselves have the heart to commit suicide. And in terms of class issues, don't be careful, as always, the Yoman longbowmen obtained the silver shield-level armor configuration at the moment of conversion, that is, they added 2 defense points, and due to the establishment of the forging guild, these Yoman longbowmen have been upgraded by one gear in both melee and range.
PS: The forging guild here is not the kind of forging guild in the game that can only upgrade melee equipment, but long-range weapons that can upgrade cold weapons at the same time, and the upgrade of the forging guild, these weapons will also be free from the restriction that they can only be upgraded by one gear in the game, and they will be able to even second or even third gear, but only if the unlocking progress of the technology tree is reached.
As for the heavily armed swordsmen, although they are currently unable to upgrade their equipment and replace their equipment with full-body plate armor, the 22-point terror-level defense is enough for them to survive in the orc armor-breaking troops, so when Sun Lin entered the fortress management area, he directly said the main intention of his coming, and asked all the people to move forward to prepare: "The best defense is to attack, this time the whole army is dispatched, I will drive all those orcs back to the desert from the wasteland!" ”
