Connie doesn't seem to believe that Cook can lead the army, you must know that there are all kinds of people in the army, and there are people of all kinds of personalities, and it is not a simple matter to manage well.

However, Connie did not stop it, and waited to see if Cook could do it, and of course Connie had to prepare for Cook's defeat.

Inside Noga City, on top of a huge open space, this is a place to prepare for trading, and the orc trade generally has a large livestock trade, so a huge space is needed, and Noga City is no exception.

The 800 rabbit soldiers led by Addo were scattered and disrupted, and there were 500 rabbit squad leaders for 5,000 people, and the soldiers of the previous squad were arranged to lead a hundred recruits to form a squadron, and the squad leader became a squadron leader.

These rabbit squad leaders and squadron leaders are all beast soul warriors, although the training is only a few months of effort, but the hard and strict training still makes these hundreds of rabbit beast soul warriors become elite.

Now some squadron leaders and squad leaders are training these recruits strictly according to their own training methods, and the rabbit recruits have to face harsh training on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are reluctant to be treated so well.

Rabbit recruits each have two silver coins per month, this is during the training period, and there are two sets of clothes, three meals a day, not to mention anything else, just these three meals are enough for the rabbit to fight.

You must know that it is winter, it will starve to death, and there is money to get, and what makes the rabbit recruits even more excited is that if they pass the training, they will cost fifty silver coins per month, so these recruits grit their teeth and persist even in the face of hard training.

Five thousand people began to practice non-stop on the trading floor, one by one, squads and squadrons gritted their teeth and competed with each other, and Connie smiled when she saw this scene.

The five thousand men led by Cook did something simple, the first thing Cook had to do was to strengthen the city defenses, Cook looked at the rammed earth city wall, and had already had a plan in his heart.

Buckets of well water that had just been dug up from the ground were poured on the city wall by five thousand recruits, and because the temperature here was extremely low, the water had just been poured down, and as soon as the people turned around, they turned into a piece of ice.

"My lord, no, the temperature is too low, and the buckets are frozen into pieces. "Cook has only a hundred rabbit veterans, led by a rabbit named Mitch.

"Alas!" Cook knew that this was due to the low temperature, and each wooden barrel would carry water one after another, and the inner wall of the barrel would slowly accumulate ice, and a thick layer of ice would be frozen on the inner wall of the bucket several times, let alone carry water.

Cook wanted to use fire to heat, but there were not enough things to heat this place, how could it be used to boil water, you must know that there is no heating here, it will kill people.

As for going out of the city to find wood, it is even more delusional, because the snow outside is still very thick, Cook took Mitch down the city wall, Cook looked at the well that had just been dug, because the distance could not be too far, so it was necessary to keep digging new wells, but in the Orc Empire, the well was not easy, and it had to be dug dozens of meters deep, but because there were rabbits in this line, it was not much difficulty.

"My lord, there's no water here. Mitch looked at Cook, went to inquire, and then reported.

Cook nodded, the environment of the Orc Empire is a bit like the Loess Plateau, but it is not as strict as it is destroyed, Cook shook his head and prepared to continue walking to see if there is any good way.

"Huh?" Just as Cook was about to leave, Cook suddenly noticed that the soil next to the hole where the well was drilled was almost black, and Cook quickly checked it in surprise.

"Haha, haha, okay!" Cook immediately burst out laughing.

Peat, and the best peat, a bit like lignite, but it's not, apparently it was a swamp in the past, and peat can't be used for metallurgy, but it's enough for heating.

"Mitch, ask somebody, is there a lot of brown dirt?" Cook quickly commanded.

"My lord, this Noga city is surrounded by this brown dirt, so the grass doesn't grow well. A rabbit recruit replied.

"Good! good!" exclaimed Cook.

Then there was a strange scene in the city of Noga, where the rudimentary stoves were built against the walls, and the excavated earth was piled aside.

However, because peat still has a certain water content, it burns very slowly, and it needs to ignite something, of course, this is also due to the fact that the peat has a gravel shape between lignite and peat, so when the people of Noga City saw that the new rabbit leader could actually burn the soil that was stepped on the ground, and boiled buckets of hot water.

But to the indignation of countless residents of Noga, the hot water was actually carried up to the city walls.

Connie was shocked when she got the report, but then ordered someone to promote peat in Noga City, and Connie muttered to herself, "I thought you were going to use unconventional means, but now it seems that you are quite clever." ā€

Cook didn't want to use other powers, but now that there are so many eyes around, if you find a bunch of magicians, or a bunch of knights, then you will definitely face the siege of all the orcs, which are fundamentally different races, so Cook has to try his best to solve it.

Two days later, when Cook and his 5,000 recruits looked at the slick palm-thick hard ice on the city wall, they couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply natural armor!"

After the defense of the city walls and the armor were built, Cook began to lead people to demolish the house again, Cook walked around the street, and then directed his men to continue to demolish the house.

You must know that Cook has 5,000 soldiers, so he is particularly energetic in dismantling, although some people are dissatisfied, but when he sees 5,000 rabbit men holding wolf cavalry spears, he has to wisely close his mouth.

"Cook, what are you doing here?" asked Connie, menacingly.

"Of course it's preparations, once more than 6,000 wolf cavalry come, it will be the most severe battle, I have to prepare some. Cook instructed his men to sort and put some of the materials in order, and then explained.

"But what are you doing by demolishing people's houses and demolishing people's tents?" Connie asked loudly, speechless.

"Oh! I'm a trebuchet, and although it doesn't do much damage to the more advanced werewolves, I've inquired, and most of the wolf cavalry are ordinary werewolves. Cook replied.

"Trebuchet, would you still make such a thing?" asked Connie, with a strange look on her face.

"By the way, I'm going to demolish the city lord's mansion, and there are stones here and there. Cook then said, and Connie turned and left.

Cook started to build his trebuchet not far behind the city wall, this trebuchet is the same as the mortar, it is a parabola, so the attack is very clever, of course, some of the residents of Noga City said disdainfully: "Rabbit people are rabbit people, look, they put such a big attack weapon behind the city wall, according to me, it should be placed on the city wall, so that it has attack power, right?"

Cook's creation was the return cannon, a trebuchet that relied on the power of counterweights, and the accuracy was greatly improved, and the straps were cut through other people's tents, and the tents were all oil-soaked animal skins. Not only is it waterproof, but it is also extremely tough.

In just three days, the city walls were filled with hundreds of cannons. Connie gritted her teeth and watched as the City Lord's Mansion was demolished by Cook's men, and all the stones in the city were collected by Cook.

Everyone thought that Cook should stop now, but they didn't expect Cook to start getting busy again, of course, this time it was basic training, but Cook's training made those recruits who thought they were regular break out in a cold sweat when they heard it.

"Do you see what this is?" said Cook, raising the ash in his hand.

"Ashes from the fire!" replied in a voice.

"Very well, very well, now I ask you to wrap up this ash, this is our weapon. Cook thought of lime, but it didn't matter if there was no lime, the white ash could also block the view.

"Sir, who are you?" said Addo as he looked at Cook and asked suspiciously.

Cook smiled and said, "Ado, my men don't have any elite equipment, only this way, you think, if these ashes are suddenly sprinkled into the eyes of the enemy...... ā€

Ado remembered the way when he burned the fire when he was a child, and when he was gray, he couldn't help but shiver when he thought about it on the battlefield.

"Also, collect the livestock manure for me, and then give me some of the weeds I prepared, and then we'll light it and launch it, so that those bastard wolf cavalry can ...... too. ā€

"And get me enough hot water, and we'll give those guys a bath then!"

One by one, Cook said it out loud, and everyone thought that after such weather was drenched in water, people must have turned into popsicles, and as for gas bombs, it was not a good idea.

Connie frowned and asked unhappily, "Lucy, what's that sound?"

"Mademoiselle, this is the Baron experimenting with a trebuchet. Lucy replied listening to the voice outside the window.

"Trebuchet, is it really useful, just a pile of wooden shelves?" Connie's trebuchet in this world is extremely unstable, because it is driven by manpower, and the speed of human warriors is extremely fast, so trebuchets are just chicken ribs of war, just suitable for dealing with cannon fodder troops, not those knights with fighting spirit.

In fact, in human beings, the military still belongs to a kind of ancient Chinese government soldiers, when the battle is led by the knights to their own guards rush out, when the war is not carried out, the knights are the landlords, only some standing troops, but these standing troops also need to be rotated once a year, unless it is an extremely important fortress, the position of the pass, it will not be lightly replaced.

And Cook is already using a full-time recruitment system, the biggest advantage of recruiting is not anything else, but a very ordinary sentence, professional counterpart, how can a person who has more than half a year with farm tools in hand be the opponent of the person who has the weapon of the year-round bean, this is the most fundamental difference, professional!

"Boom!" Cook's five thousand rabbits were dumbfounded, and they didn't understand why the stone would go around the walls and hit the snow outside.

And it seems that a wooden shelf can actually knock a 300-pound stone 500 meters away, and fall on the ground to smash the frozen ice and snow into a big hole.

"Yes, yes!" Cook nodded approvingly, and then began to teach the rabbit how to aim with a trebuchet, how to shorten the distance, and so on.

Although the rabbit man is not very smart, under Cook's personal demonstration, he finally remembered the key points of Cook's operation.

"My lord, shall we put some wooden spikes in the frozen earth?" asked a small rabbit man who had just lifted a stone and put it in the trebuchet.

"I'm cĒŽo, you're a kid!" Cook was still struggling with the trebuchet's ammunition, but wasn't the rabbit man's words the best solution?

Ado swallowed his saliva wildly on the side, and thought of the frozen hard mud mass with sharp wooden thorns falling to his head like a meteorite, so he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and muttered in his heart: "It's good that it's my master!"
