Power and Empire Chapter 40: Caesar demon
For the fat man's absurd behavior of standing on the city’s head and peeing, Caesar Sauron, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes non-committal. The fat man who had gone crazy during this period of time has already been unaware of Caesar Sauron,
In the past half month, the fortress of Samor has been tossed by fat guys who are afraid of death.
Build the wall, thicken it, and dig tunnels. In order not to be attacked by the Kujites, the fat man who was afraid of death not only arranged three roads of one meter wide and two meters deep in front of the city wall. In the ditch, a tall triangular wooden tip is erected in front of each pit to prevent the approach of siege equipment,
is still setting up a dozen cauldrons in the widened wall crevices, which are filled with fat people who specially asked Crolithat to transport a large amount of black crude oil from the mountains in his Falcon Territory, which can be poured into the wall at any time The deep pit underneath builds three fire walls
The gate aisle was re-reinforced with hard large bluestone strips, and fist-sized spear piercing holes were re-arranged on both sides of the 13-meter-long gate aisle, which made a section of ordinary gate aisle murderous.
These are nothing. The fat man still piled up three walls behind the gate walkway. A recessed city wall with a length of more than 20 meters is connected with the main wall of the castle with wooden boards. Even if the enemy breaks through the first city The door will also be blocked by this section of the recessed city wall, and will fall into a desperate situation where there is a spear on the side and an arrow on the head.
Even if the notch is broken in the end, as long as the wooden boards connected to the two walls are removed, the enemy can only stand on the notch and stare.
The original narrow single-person wall passage has also been greatly widened, and it can even pass two horses side by side at the same time, so that cavalry troops can be organized to rush up the wall for support at any time
These unprecedented defensive measures looked at other people with chills. Fortunately, I am not an enemy who needs to attack the fortress. Otherwise, a thousand-man brigade would throw in, and it would be gone without a bubble.
Arrows, shields, weapons and other large amounts of defense resources are continuously transported from Falcon Territory to Samor Fortress, and there are endless carriages between Falcon Territory and the fortress. Fatty has a great deal of Samor Fortress. To be built into a "city that never falls" means.
"What is this?"
Caesar Sauron looked at the strange weapon in the guards’ hands. This one-meter long bow and arrow launcher with a wooden handle is a new weapon just shipped from the Falcon Territory. The fat man calls it a "foot crossbow." A weird longbow with a long wooden handle,
is said to be made by the craftsmen in the territory according to the drawings before the fat man set off from the falcon territory,
"This is a good thing! If the Khergits come to our Satsuma again, I will use this to greet them, and let them know that their proud Khergit is not a **** in front of the fat man."
The fat man smugly patted Caesar Sauron on the shoulder,
The fat man in his previous life is a shooting enthusiast. He has been involved in everything from light bows and crossbows to all kinds of weapons. It is a bit difficult for a fat man to build a gun, but it is still very easy for a normal bow and crossbow.
The more complicated thing about the bow and crossbow is the mechanism of deduction. This has been figured out by the fat man a long time ago. He thought that he might meet the Kurgit Rangers who are good at archery.
Fatty specially set aside 10,000 gold coins to build 2000 heavy infantry special foot crossbows, and now it finally comes in handy
"Swish" a short-feathered crossbow bolt is nailed to the cavalry mail on a wooden post 200 steps away. The strong penetrating power is like tearing a piece of thin paper and it can easily be nailed into the wooden post by about an inch. It’s a human body, I’m afraid it can be inserted straight into the arrow feathers,
Caesar Sauron saw a soldier with a little training, he could easily shoot through the cavalry light mail 200 steps away with this waist-high foot crossbow, his face was slightly blue, the Kujit’s strong bow It can only reach a distance of 150 steps, and this thing can shoot at least 250 steps.
As a soldier born as a knight, Caesar Sauron had to think that if this kind of lethal weapon is used on a large scale, the ultra-long-range strike capability that sweeps everything can easily wipe out the attacking knights.
The horror of being shot into a hornet’s nest stimulated Caesar Sauron’s nerves, and it seemed to remind him of the scene when he led his subordinates to be surrounded and annihilated by the Kujites, with cold sweat behind him
For this extremely lethal weapon, Caesar Sauron, who was born as an orthodox knight, is firmly opposed to it, believing that it violates the knight’s guidelines and is a "devil's weapon"
but they were all blocked by the fat man with "of course he must use the devil's means to deal with the devil"
In return for the fat man’s own pockets to reorganize the Southern Army Corps, the hunter leader Crolitsat has been formally appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs as the commander of the Eighth Army Army Corps. Statunko serves as the Army Corps Sixth Army Corps. Long, the middle-aged strange knight Caesar Sauron was appointed as the captain of the guard of the Southern Army’s direct guard,
After more than three months of full preparations, fed by the millions of possessions buried by the Kujites and the millions of stone aid food paid by the southern nobles, the Fat Southern Army removed 6000 combat personnel. There are also nearly 3,000 engineers and logistics personnel. The fat man’s army is about to break through the ten thousand mark and become an important military force that dominates the south and rules the three counties
The most complacent fat man wants to do now is to let the Kujites and the great aristocrats in the north continue to entangle themselves, buy time for themselves to digest the land of the two counties, and it is best to delay the autumn harvest this year. ,
With sufficient food security, the refugees who have moved can settle down in the two counties. At that time, even if the kingdom wants to drive itself away, it can only stare at it.
Otherwise, the kingdom would have to pay for these tens of thousands of refugees as soon as the grain was collected, and the kingdom would have to pay for it. This would be impossible for the kingdom’s finances that have been hit hard.
The busy month of March is followed by the coolness of April
But for the fat guy who defends the Satsuma, this place is really "hot",
The Kujit Ranger, who had been extinct for two months, appeared vaguely on the opposite side of the Samor Fortress, and even touched the Samor’s moat several times.
The arrogant and defiant look is more of a demonstration than a reconnaissance
If it weren’t for fat people and strictly forbidden to use bows and crossbows casually, the defending soldiers would have shot these bold scouts off the horse. Seeing that there was no movement in the Samo Fortress, the movement of the Kujites grew louder and louder.
Yesterday, the front outpost reported that a 5,000-strong Kujit light cavalry unit drove into the town of Hittalo, opposite Samor, and gaze at the opposite Samor Fortress. Break through the fortress.
In the early hours of the morning, the cold stars are high, the pale moonlight has not disappeared, and the blazing bonfire illuminates the hall of Satsuma in red
The fat man who was supposed to be still in bed and dreaming was sitting in the lobby of the Satsuma Fortress. The twitching look at the corners of his eyes shows that the fat man is extremely upset in his heart, and his heart is depressed and has the urge to kill people
In the middle of the night last night, because he didn’t know the fat man’s sleeping habits, Crolitsat, who was on duty by the city wall, rushed into the fat man’s bedroom. After being violently attacked by the humanoid bear, he reported with a miserable face that a team of 200 people The Gite Cavalry blatantly took advantage of the darkness and began to camp under the city of Samor, and from the flag erected in the camp, it may be the famous royal guard in Kujit
"It's really a narrow road for Yuanjia! This time I'm troubled by Fat Master again!"
The fat man habitually touched his belly with his hand, his belly made a "grunt" sound, and a sour smell rolled in his throat
"Damn, getting up in the middle of the night not only affects your mood, but also can particularly feel hungry"
Fatty waved his hand to the three kings under his hand and asked
"What do you say these Kujites want to do? Came to squat in the corner of others in the middle of the night?"
"This time the Kujites are coming fiercely. I think no matter what they want to do, we just need to strengthen the defense of the castle! As long as we seize the opportunity, we can easily kill all the 200 Kujites outside the city."
Statunko is still the wretched streamer who likes to engage in defensive counterattacks. This guy did not participate in the mountain road annihilation because he was escorting supplies from the rear. Because one of his legs was shot by the Kujit, he was unavoidable. Still afraid of the strong bow of the Kurgits.
Clolithart has a bandage on her face, and her head is depressed, looking like a frosty eggplant. It's been a whole night, coupled with a violent attack by an unscrupulous person, Crolithart I haven't fully woken up now, my head is drowsy, I want to sleep, my eyes pitifully blinked at the fat man a few times, and said nothing
The fat man saw Crolitsart’s appearance and ignored it directly
At last everyone looked at Captain Caesar Sauron,
"The ghosts know what these Kujites want to do! I am not the roundworm in the Kujites' stomach! But if I can't say something, wouldn't it be that these guys look down on themselves"
Guard Captain Caesar Sauron looked at his third brother staring at him in the hall, and had to put on a confident appearance and began to talk nonsense that he was good at
"The situation of the Kujites is unknown this time. First, a large number of scouts were sent to investigate us at close range, and then a main army was stationed in the town of Hittalo opposite us. Now they have sent people directly to our city. This shows that the Kujites are very interesting to us!"
"Interesting? I'm still **** in love with the Kurgits!"
The fat guy heard Caesar Sauron say a lot of just these words~IndoMTL.com~ he got a "interesting" conclusion, he almost got up from his seat dumbfounded,
The long-eyed people can see it. The Kujites are not only "interesting" in their Satsuma fortress, but I'm afraid they can't wait to swallow a bite alive. The coveted saliva is more anxious than the outside of the city. The river is even more urgent
"My lord, it's not interesting, I mean it's very interesting for us!"
Caesar Sauron is still stubborn, the expression on his face is like a misunderstood woman, the fat man is taken aback by tongue twisters
"What's the name is very interesting? Can you explain it clearly, we are all big bosses, you can understand it there"
Seeing Caesar Sauron’s hesitant and halting appearance, twisting the tangled words made the fat man ask curiously
"It means to have thoughts and interest in us, or want to make peace with us, or want to negotiate with us!"
"Puff" The fat man almost squirted out the acid water that was just pressed down in his throat.
The fat man who has always regarded himself as lewd is eye-opening today. It turns out that there is a great **** squatting here. I finally know what it is.
"Not the most lustful, only more lustful"
Just before the poor brother three awoke from the concussion of Caesar Sauron, the guard outside the door hurried into the castle hall with a sheepskin letter, and knelt down on one knee to the fat man. Report
"My lord, the Kurgits outside the city sent three envoys to ask to see the commander of the Southern Army Corps!"
The fat man's eyes turned green when he looked at Caesar Sauron. Is this the Zhuge demon of this era?
Crolitsat and Statunko sitting on both sides are also bulging-eyed like toads, with their mouths wide open, they look like hell
