When the fat man saw the scenery of Nord Kyoto for the first time, he was also deeply shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

It is a large basin of relative flatness, with blue rivers reflecting the bright white sun, vascular-like tributaries passing through the fluffy rice fields that have just matured in July in the south, and the trees of autumn, thin and slender, with gray-white trunks hanging with pale yellow leaves, well-defined, and tufts of red down on their graceful torsos,

The tranquil earth is like a beautiful landscape painted by a painter, the snow-capped Beas Mountains have become very soft, the majestic lines surround the horizon, and the shrubs on the mountain are like pendants of various colors hanging on them

Dusk descends on this majestic mountain, and the sheep intestine trail winds down the steep peaks, sometimes repeated, sometimes staggered, like the beautiful dance dress of the Doroc dancer.

In previous years, the Nord Kyoto area in July was a harvest area, and the harvest season was full of joy. At the same time, the rice and straw in the field are also gathered and piled into high straw stacks, and the ploughing cattle are tied under the straw stacks of every household, and the farmers rely on the foundation of the land for survival.

At this time, it generally rains, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't rain, the water source from the river is enough to irrigate the wheat fields in the basin, and the wheat fields after harvesting can be re-cultivated after more than ten days of soaking.

As the political, economic, and cultural center of the kingdom of Kyoto, Kyoto has a very developed agricultural civilization, and the people living here have been part of their lives since they can remember.

Regardless of the sunrise and sunset, the clouds are rolling and soothing, the vast majority of people living here are busy for the wheat field, and the wheat field is their land. No matter how unpredictable the wind and rain outside were, it was not necessary for these Nords living in the heart of the kingdom to pay much attention, and no enemy had attacked the basin for hundreds of years

The towns are densely populated, not large in size, but numerous, and connected by countless reticulated stone roads that look like strings of pearls of fractured ground.

The largest towns have a population of about 10,000. Because this is a basin surrounded by mountains, except for the cultivation of wheat, there is not much agriculture in other places, and most of the commercial trade is also related to wheat, and the single economy has created the unique agricultural splendor of Kyoto, which also makes it have the foundation to become the capital of a country

As the war approached, the outskirts of Nord Kyoto in July this year were a bit special and deserted, except for a large number of horse-drawn carts transporting food and supplies outside.

All the fields on both sides looked very empty and very desolate, except for the scarecrows standing indifferently, and there were also a few poor peasants, most of them women, children and the elderly, because the young people were conscripted into the battlefield, and the once thriving land also fell into the dilemma of lack of labor

In order to hinder the Falcon army as much as possible as much as possible, the main towns on the outskirts were full of soldiers, who had built small castles on some high ground, and condescendingly watched over every passer-by, as if everyone were spies of the Falcon army. The spear in the soldier's hand glowed in the sunlight with a terrifying chill that made every passerby feel very uneasy. ...,

Martial law was imposed in all towns, and grain merchants who had been active in the past were now banned from entering the country because of the Nord Kyoto embargo, and the grain trade was ruthlessly canceled.

All the wheat produced by the peasants was collected and controlled by the military in the name of war taxes, and only a small amount of grain was left in the peasant households' homes according to the population. A large amount of farmland was requisitioned for fortifications, especially the earthen dams along the banks of the river, and most of the farmland that had just been harvested had been dug into deep and winding trenches by the Nord army. It is hoped that this will stop the light cavalry with the strongest assault ability in the Falcon Army

On many of the more prominent heights, there were Nord archers stationed on them, who condescendingly controlled the surrounding districts, vigilantly waiting for the arrival of the Falcon Army. In fact, the relative height of these highlands is about 34 meters, but in this Nord Kyoto Basin, which is a flat river, it is quite eye-catching.

This is the "spider web tactic" developed by the Nord Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Allenbo, and the defense officer of Kyoto, Duke Stanchoff, to resist the attack of the Falcon Army, which is known as the strongest army in the fortifications, and later historians have half-joked that in the second half of the third year of the Falcon Dynasty, the Nords almost turned their Kyoto into a strong fortress.

The defense officer of Kyoto, Duke Stanchuff, left his headquarters early in the morning and went to various points to inspect the state of war readiness. He rode along the Antens River to inspect the surrounding defenses,

He walked slowly, stopping from time to time to watch, sometimes stopping to ask the nearby soldiers what they had discovered, and scolding a few people for not getting satisfactory answers. There was a squadron leader who was lazy and hid in his own barracks to sleep in the guard time, but was seen by Duke Steinkhoff and ordered him to be executed on the spot. That is, the pace of the Falcon army is getting closer and closer.

As a large basin, Nord Kyoto does not have many vantage points, and at a glance, it is an endless plain, with no vegetation except for some small hills and shrubs.

Standing on a high point, Duke Stankhoff carefully inspected the fortification of the small castle on the commanding height, because it was built in the face of battle, and most of the small castles were made of makeshift materials, and he personally patted the dry earth with his hands to see if the soil on it was strong enough.

This was the only way to take advantage of the inferior forces against the morale-boosting Falcon army, and the defeat of Gerlalens showed that the previous way of defending the city did not work, and the Falcon army had developed a very complete siege strategy, just like Géralens, if the Falcon army also set the Nord Kyoto on fire with incendiary bombs, it would be enough to make the Nord defenders a mess

In the face of such an adversary, the Duke of Stankhoff proposed to the Ministry of War and His Majesty the King to "expand the battle line to the periphery, and use the vast defensive network composed of trenches and small castles, so that the sharp arrow cluster of the Falcon army, like a bird caught in a net, was weakened layer by layer with the powerful impact, and finally completely lost its room to play,

If the Falcon army wants to approach the city wall, it must be hard to pull out these small castles one by one, in the face of hundreds of such small castles, even if it is a qiē shun lì, it will take at least 2 months or more, when the Falcon Dynasty army is like a rainbow, I am afraid that it will be exhausted, such a move as a strong attack on Nord Kyoto, unless the other commander is a fool of fools...,

The Falcon Dynasty's defeat of the Nord's main force in the south of Vekia also gave the Nord, a traditional army power, a chance to reflect, not everyone blamed the defeat on luck or lack of bravery, the Nord soldiers, one of the most elite groups in Ikadhua, were also reflecting on their willingness to fail,

Some of the upper echelons of the Nord military are also determined to learn from the Falcon Army, which has defeated them and defeated their old enemy, the Rui Erdians, and to find ways to use the Falcon Army's combat theory and combat techniques to repair their own weaknesses.

Just like the crimson cord that launched a cavalry counterattack in Gerlarence, Duke Stankhoff did not hesitate to abandon the field spirit that the Nord army was once proud of, and abandoned the axes and other weapons that the Nord King ** team originally thought was the best in the world, and fully replaced them with spears and heavy shields that were more conducive to group warfare.

The "spider web tactic" in front of you is a variant born with reference to the tactics of the Falcon Dynasty against the Kugit light cavalry.

Just like on the outskirts of Nord Kyoto, the lassoes against the cavalry were laid down, making it difficult for the cavalry units with absolute superiority in the Falcon army to play a role

The First Army, which suffered a heavy defeat in the south of Vecchia, also played a considerable role at this time,

The Ministry of War requested the King's Majesty that most of the officers and experienced soldiers be assigned to the rest of the defensive units, and that the Nord recruits, who had not yet been on the battlefield, should be taught by word and deed, from the previous mode of warfare that only knew how to charge to learning defensive tactics

Looking at the endless trenches, Duke Stankhoff finally felt a little more at ease in his heart, and seemed to be full of hope for the future of the Kyoto Defense War. No matter how powerful the Falcon army is, it may not be easy to get through these zigzag trenches, and their Thor and fuel bombs can't completely flatten these trenches, right?

As long as their demonic weapons are not fully effective, the Nord army will still be able to resolutely stop the rapid advance of the Falcon army.
