Lord of the Oasis Chapter 382: .Effect of cannibalizing tactics
Stone Pass, inside the lord's mansion.
In the narrow passages and corridors, Swadian infantrymen in chain armor have completely occupied the place, armed with standard-made military spears, lined up in teams to form patrols or sentries in the official residence.
In just half a month, the Stone Pass has completely become Kant's territory.
The first local site.
Although it can't build buildings and recruit troops, it has great strategic significance.
This solid stone pass is equivalent to Kant's Hulao Pass. It guards the natural moat, and can attack and retreat. As long as this area is not lost, it means that Kant still has the initiative over the Principality of Lions.
With the current powerful cavalry units, he is fully capable of tactical attacks.
The plain area of North County is like a beautiful woman with an open heart.
Even the South County and East County leaders are similar.
The flat plains are endless, with occasional farmland reclaimed along lakes or creeks and rivers, including the radioactive knight's collars, or villages, that surround the castle.
The government of the Lion Principality makes people's livelihood depend on the military.
A village is a castle or a city around it.
And the villages are the domain of the knights, the backbone responsible for defending the castle or city.
Sometimes, there are no knights in the knight's territory, only the village chief, the financial officer and the sheriff are there to help the knight to manage the village, and to pay the tax that should be paid every month for the knight's daily use. Spend.
This has resulted in insufficient military power in the village.
On weekdays, there are only about 30 armed militiamen stationed, and the sheriff is in charge of the command.
But the duty is not to destroy the robbers around, but to maintain the rule of the knight, and by the way, when the financial officer starts to collect taxes, to clean up those rebels who dare to resist the tax, or to hunt down the fugitive slaves of Saya.
As for the arrival of a band of robbers, it is safe to take out part of the finances and pray that the well water will not violate the river water.
Of course the robbers understand the power behind the village.
There is a tacit understanding.
The robber took the ration and food and left.
Or ask the villagers if there are caravans passing by, and then use the village to hide and rob the fat and oily caravans. If you encounter the caravans owned by the rival nobles of the nobles behind the gang of robbers, it will be even more powerful. Make a fortune.
The caravan of the hostile nobles can directly kill without showing mercy.
All the silver coins you loot are yours.
And those goods will also be handled by special personnel.
There are even these villagers who can give them some silver coins as a reward for providing information.
Therefore, the entire Principality of Lions, including the villages at the grassroots level, is in a strange state of stocking. This is also a drawback of the feudal era. It is completely a feudal system. Except for their own lords, they do not have to be loyal to anyone.
After all, my lord's lord is not my lord, and my vassal's vassal is not my vassal.
That's what it means.
No one cares about outside the territory.
In addition, the royal authority of the Principality of the Lion has been suppressed in recent years, and the authority of Cameron, the Duke of the Lion, has been compressed to the territory of the Southern County. The security of the entire country has fallen into this complex environment.
This is also the reason why there are so many robber gangs in the Principality of Lions.
Complex environments naturally lead to chaos.
Correspondingly, Rolfe's penetration into the Principality of Lions is like a duck to water.
It's like a duck in water.
There is no obstacle at all in the penetration process.
From Hardstone Pass to Fort Roger, the highest in the North County Territory, and then down the Lion Mountains on the south side to the Marsburg where Viscount Kevin is located, and then turn north along the Death Mountain in the East County Territory to return .
This is the triangle and the route with the most caravans in the salt trade.
Rolfe is still going back and forth smoothly.
According to his words.
It's like a parade with troops!
On the way, I defeated a few gangs of robbers who wanted to investigate their details, and basically spread the illustrious name. Not to mention that other gangs did not continue to attack them, even the troops of the nobles did not forcibly intercept them. them.
Rolfe is not yet leading a heavy cavalry force dominated by Mamluks and Salander riders.
Just 500 desert bandits.
It comes and goes like the wind.
With extremely high discipline and the toughness cultivated in the desert, the hostile gangs of robbers were completely ignorant. Even during the night attack, the hostile gangs of robbers could only helplessly send people to make peace.
Compared to the desert robbers, the robbers in the Sarand desert, the robbers of the Principality of Lions are still a bit worse.
They are not real gangsters.
In other words, there is no such thing as a gangster who runs if you get it, and continues to run if you don't get it. It won't fight you head-on at all, but will only slap you around like a hyena.
If I win, I will make a profit. If I don't win, I will not lose.
What I do is to carry a knife without capital.
That's it.
In this half-month infiltration, Rolfe was not simply looting the caravan, it was just a pretense.
The most important thing is that he finally explored most of the maps in the North County Territory. As long as the troops go out, they can follow the map provided by Rolfe, and cooperate with Kant's memory in this life to clear the game.
For example, the current Stone Pass, with Kant's announcement of his occupation, no one dares to continue to approach.
The desert robbers who go out are no good.
In addition to that group of Salander riders, they are all elite assault cavalry, their abilities can be compared to ordinary knights, or they can be regarded as top knight squires, and ordinary troops are no match.
What's more, those gangs of robbers were easily defeated one after another.
The surrounding area of Stone Pass has been impervious to the water run by Kant.
And among them, just like Kant's previous policy of reducing and exempting taxes without hesitation, and taking the initiative to support small landlords and small businessmen, as well as local civilians, any matter, big or small, will soon spread to his ears.
These people spontaneously became supporters of Kant.
The Lord's Mansion.
The lobby.
Kant is sitting in his seat reviewing documents.
These documents are reports from Castle "Drehem" and the city of "Aaron".
In half a month, the castle and sent people to reopen the salt mine in the north, and continued to station troops at the salt mine station, and arranged for new slaves to go there and continue to mine coarse salt.
The city of the Sanwaya Mountains is still under construction.
The hilltop is well filled with buildings.
On both sides of the river at the foot of the mountain, the relatively gentle slopes have also been opened up into fields.
The fine grains of wheat are turned into refined white flour in the water-powered mill, combined with the bacon made after hunting, and the smoked fish obtained after fishing, which has become the basis for urban residents to let go of their belly and eat.
And also supplied to Castle "Drehem".
Currently, Kant's civilian population has exceeded 20,000.
This is not a case of considering soldiers.
The civilian population of Castle "Drehem" has been reduced to 3,000.
However, the population of the city of "Aaron" has directly reached 15,000 people, and the dense population has even formed radiation, and the hills around the top of the mountain have been slightly reclaimed.
A large number of terraces are under construction, although they have not yet been put into use, there are many more outlines.
Successful planting and harvesting next year.
The irrigation channels have been dug, and the towers and water trucks for raising irrigation are waiting to be built, and the terraced fields that have been reclaimed can be irrigated from top to bottom.
Kant has arranged a mysterious spring on the top of the mountain.
Therefore, as long as there are towers and canals similar to Rome, irrigation can be satisfied.
Communicate with the water element plane, and the steady stream of fresh water is an urgently needed element for agriculture. If it is only based on that small river, it may be very difficult to reclaim terraced fields and build a complete irrigation network of high towers.
But even so, with the systematic construction, and the efforts of the civilian population, everything is getting better.
The second base is also prospering.
It's also about geography.
Sangwaya Mountains is a giant mountain range that spans a great distance.
However, the city of "Aaron", which is on the pulse of the outside world, has not fully penetrated into the interior of the Sangwaya Mountains. In addition to good road traffic, it can connect to the Naron Desert in time, so it is not afraid of being blocked.
The Stone Pass is in the hands of Kant again, and the possibility of being blocked in the end is minimized.
Three o'clock and one line.
This is exactly how the Naron Desert is now set up.
From north to south.
Completely the Salt Mine Station, the Castle "Drehem", the Central Station and the Stone Pass, and then the Yamaguchi Station and the city of "Aaron", forming a complete line of communication.
A steady stream of materials passes through this line, sharing and complementing each other.
As Kant originally designed.
Very reasonable.
Kant was also satisfied with this.
Looking at the above report, the document is basically a summary of the current construction.
Since the solid stone pass was completely mastered, the defensive effect of the central station has been much worse. It is not that it is not as important as it used to be, but the caravans and spies from the outside world have been unable to continue to penetrate into the desert of Nalen.
The Stone Pass has already blocked most of the caravans.
If you continue inward.
Isn't that just spies and spies!
When the time comes, it's just a matter of strangling these scheming guys in the Naron desert.
The desert robbers cooperated with the Sarandian riders, plus the elite Mamluks, ordinary spies and spies, or the robbers who took a detour into the Naron Desert in an attempt to make a fortune, all died tragically.
No one can escape the people who came out of the Sarand Desert, and their experience in the desert is equal to full value.
But for now.
The desert robbers are also good at scouting out on the plains.
Kant puts down the file.
Everything is settled.
His plans are still going on.
For example, the chess pieces that were thrown out at the beginning, Kant intends to go over and see for himself this time.
Borg, the leader of the bankrupt family in East County, took the big silver coin that Kant gave him to revive the family, and also used the 10 Salander riders temporarily handed over to him by Kant to roam the Risniston River. 's flourishing.
Even at the Stone Pass in North County Territory, Kant had heard about this young businessman of great fame.
Borg has yet to send someone to contact him, however.
Kant muses about this.
"It's better to come and see for yourself."
He has already made this plan, and the preparations have been completed.
Kant personally led the team, with 10 lion knights as escorts, 50 Sarion lion attendants, and 500 upgraded desert robbers led by Rolfe.
Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never be lost in a hundred battles, not to mention the mysterious passage in the Risniston River in the East County Territory.
The passage connecting the underground river.
If possible.
Kant intends to rebuild a new village there.
And put the [Water Bandit's Nest] there to form a central force that controls the river.
Once you have this commercially developed river, Kant's forces can start to spread along the Reisniston River at any time, whether it is entering the South County Territory in the hinterland of the Principality of Lions, or intervening in the Kingdom of Silver Plate.
It's all super easy!
Money is always the way to go.
How could Kant, who controls the salt trade and the commercial river, be short of money?
Kant likes to nibble, not to swallow. Right now, the Principality of the Lion has been infiltrated by Kant's tentacles. Looking at the North County Territory, which has been completely infiltrated, it is estimated that Kant's status is second only to Wayne. Viscount.
If you pay attention to military strength, Kant, who has a heavy cavalry group, is not weaker than Viscount Wayne!
Already possess extraordinary power at the level of Viscount.
Although still weak in Kant's view.
But when he has not completely swallowed the whale, he can swallow it all without leaving any trace, he is still willing to use the meticulousness of cannibalizing, and slowly take the lion principality into his own hands~IndoMTL.com~ As for the name On, the apparent crown, has no effect on Kant.
Enough is the uncrowned king.
Chopping and chopping are his roots!
The troops set off quietly, as quietly as the wind when Rolf infiltrated.
The Stone Pass will continue to be handed over to the Fatis to take care of, and the troops stationed here will suppress it. Even if the entire pass is currently filled with spies and spies, they will not be able to gain the upper hand in the face of absolute force.
The local residents have long been bought by Kant's money offensive, and it can be said that they are extremely grateful.
Treachery is impossible.
Except for vassal knights who want to go further.
But even the vassal knights who nominally took refuge in Kant were not critically reused.
Even if you are leading troops out to deal with the demonic creatures or low-level gnolls you encounter on a daily basis, the troops are a mix of Swadian infantry and the original pikemen of Stone Pass.
Although nominally commanded by vassal knights, the Swadian infantry, as a mid-level commander, can refute it.
It also means having the same command.
Equal to overhead.
If Kant or Phatis completely announced the deprivation of the command of these vassal knights, then these knights would not be able to take any soldiers. After all, the current Swadian infantry is the same as those stone passes. The pikemen have established a good friendship.
Comparatively, the high-level attitude of the knights and the ignorance of the lower-level infantry will not make the Anrest Pikemen truly loyal.
Allegiance to those who give money, and allegiance to those who are good to them.
The pikemen of Stone Pass are no fools.
This is where the advantage of cannibalization lies.
The light cavalry troop set off quickly and disappeared on the flat field, targeting the East County Territory, a land that has been closed for a long time. ()
