Chapter 4: The idea of forming a heavy cavalry
"Goo~"
Ran Fei couldn't help choking, raised his right hand, and clenched it into a fist: "Xia was created by you! Now every child born has the surname Xia!"
The orcs with the surname of the tribe are like the core of the tribe in the hearts of the orcs, and the Xia tribe is a fusion of many tribes, and the surname is complex.
There may be other surnames in the future, but the most motivating thing for orcs at this moment is recognition.
The morale of the entire tribe soared, and the issuance of copper coins also went smoothly, with a few orcs counting the people who signed up for the academy.
The three Ruya brothers counted the land and livestock of each family in the tribe and registered them.
The monetary tax will not be implemented immediately, and after it is implemented, farmers will also be exempted from livestock tax and crop tax.
This is also newly formulated by Ran Fei.
The craftsmen of the Ordnance Casting Bureau have been preparing to build an improved version of the catapult in the past few days, which has been quite effective, and the dog-headed craftsman who gave the opinion was also ordered by Ran Fei to reward a thousand copper coins.
You must know that a thousand copper coins can buy a strong sheep, which also makes the hearts of the dog-headed craftsmen even hotter, and they all want to be the second person to eat sheep.
Because of the signing of a temporary alliance agreement with Naga, the minotaur orcs of the eastern mountains are controlled by Naga, although it is not certain that Naga's attitude is not yet certain, but at least the troops do not need to be invested too much in the eastern and central regions.
After the beginning of spring, the Xia tribe will inevitably go to war with the Shu tribe in the western mountains and their subordinate colonial tribes.
If the alliance of the lion-headed orcs in the plains can be pulled, the Shu tribe will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, and the threat to the Xia tribe can also be reduced.
According to the crescent moon, although the lion-headed orcs have strong physical fitness, they are not good at using weapons, or they are not good at building weapons, only the claws and fangs that they think are sharp, and for ordinary small tribes, and even for almost all shamans like the Shu tribe, the racial threat of melee ability equal to cripple is also very great.
Ran Fei rubbed Xiao Bai's head on the side, Xiao Bai was already able to easily hold up an adult orc at this time, but as Ran Fei raised from childhood to adulthood, no one in the entire tribe dared to ride it except Ran Fei and Pei Yan.
A little female bear rushed over and yelled at Xiaobai twice, Xiaobai seemed to be very dissatisfied and patted the little female bear.
I didn't expect to annoy the little female bear, and hit it head-on, Xiaobai was knocked and rolled, his head was dizzy and he got up, and was slapped by the little female bear again, and honestly didn't dare to move.
Ran Fei said with a smile: "Ge Laozi, rake one ear, and return the hand." ”
"Hmm, you teach Xiaobai to bully his wife?" Pei Yan squinted his eyes and glanced at Ran Fei meaningfully.
Ran Fei hurriedly waved his hand: "Of course not, I just said, do you dare to fight back? You have to love your wife, feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, you know no, Xiaobai." ”
After speaking, he patted Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai glanced at Ran Fei resentfully, phew, bear goods.
Suddenly, Ran Fei's mind flashed, the force of the little female bear hitting Xiaobai just now was not small, Xiaobai's weight at this time was not enough even if the three orcs were added together, and after the little female bear hit it, there was no discomfort.
This reminded Ran Fei of an important class of troops in ancient China, although sometimes it was very chicken, but it was very good to use it well.13 That is, heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry had heavy armor all over its body, including mounts, which only showed their eyes, nose and nose, and everything else was wrapped in invulnerable iron armor.
In fact, at first, Ran Fei also thought about bringing some weapons from the earth in, but in the end, he found that he had no way to find a thermal weapon and find Sun Siming?
And the role that one or two can play on the entire battlefield is completely negligible.
The iron armor that the orcs of the Xia tribe are wearing now is a kind of chain mail, which can protect important parts and has strong resistance to blows, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and I don't know when a cold arrow can take the lives of the soldiers.
And shamanic runes, chain mail can't be defended.
The newly built heavy armor must find a way to solve this problem.
Manichi suggested, "It's better to copy all the copy ores, that thing has better defense." ”
"But the cost is too high, and it is estimated that with two squads, the storage of these months will be exhausted. Ran Fei touched his chin, shook his head, and said.
Manyi grinned and kept silent, he also felt that he couldn't afford to "consume".
"It's better to use iron ore to create a batch first, and try the effect, I don't think that rune can defeat them at once. Manji said.
"Don't dare to bet, if you lose the bet, those soldiers will die in vain. Shantao disagreed.
The heavy cavalry must have been converted from the bear cavalry, and the wolf cavalry was a light cavalry, and its biggest advantage was its strong mobility, and if this advantage was worn out, it would basically be half scrapped.
Shan Zhong couldn't help but suggest, "Chief, do you think the depiction of runes on armor will be easier than the depiction of orcs on the body?"
"Hey, you can try this!" Ran Fei couldn't help but exclaim.
He hadn't really thought of drawing runes on Bu Armor, and no one seemed to have tried to do so.
Instructed the second senior brother to take the pig-headed shamans and start developing the depiction of runes on the armor.
The second senior brother seems to have opened his mind recently, coupled with the natural racial advantage of the pig-headed orcs, he has surpassed Manhe Ruya a lot in terms of depicting runes.
Man has also put down the shaman hall for a long time recently, and it is all managed by the second senior brother.
If the heavy armor can defend against the runes, even if it is only half of the effect, it is the greatest guarantee for the heavy riders to save their lives.
"Chief, the Fishmen have come to report something important. A rat-headed spy came to Ran Fei's side, bowed down and said.
Ran Fei raised his eyebrows, shouldn't the fish people follow the dog-headed craftsmen of the smelting institute to build a fishing village at this time?
When I came to the city gate, the person who seemed to be the ability of the fish-man clan was waiting there with two small fish-men.
Seeing Ran Fei and the others, he stepped forward and said anxiously: "Chief, we found a well-preserved corpse under the water, and it is different from the orcs, but ...... On the contrary, you are somewhat similar to you, Chief. ”
"Hmm...... Take me to see it. Ran Fei couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately followed the fish people to the tributary.
Sure enough, the fishmen and the kobold craftsman gathered together, and when they saw Ran Fei coming, the fishmen and the kobold craftsmen hurriedly gave way to let him pass.
The corpse was slightly swollen from blisters, but it was clear that there was not a single sign of an orc.
The swollen face, like the Westerners on the earth, is quite three-dimensional.
Ran Fei looked at the entire corpse, the clothes worn by the corpse were not like animal skin clothes, but the linen clothes of the Tang and Song dynasties on the earth.
However, the garment had already torn through large holes, and I don't know if it had been torn before, or if it had been pecked by a fish in the water.
However, the corpse did not see any damage, but the time was a little long, and Ran Fei could not tell whether it was suicide or homicide.
And Ran Fei suspected that this was a time-traveler who had traveled here since ancient times.
I don't know if it was bad luck or persecution, so I lost my life.
A rudimentary pendant hung from the corpse's chest.
The pendant has a leaf-shaped locket.
Ran Fei grabbed it and saw that the connection port was rusty and difficult to open.
Gently rubbing the pendant, it suddenly feels like it's knocking, and there's a small switch here?
As Ran Fei pressed hard, the small box opened slowly.
There is a colored oil pen drawing inside, which depicts a family of three, sitting on a grass, smiling very happily.
I don't know if the painter's skills are too strong, Ran Fei actually saw that the man in the painting was the swollen man who was soaked.
In this way, it is very likely that this man is really a time-traveler from the earth.
However, this world evolved from a game made by Ran Fei a few years ago, and the years represented by the man's clothes far exceeded the 3.4 years.
But just as Ran Fei was still frowning and pondering, the corpse suddenly began to dry up.
It didn't take long for the swollen corpse to gradually turn into a dried corpse.
There was only a piece of skin wrapped around the bone, and the fat, the flesh and blood seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the pendant box.
Man said beside him: "Chief, the change in this corpse reminds me of a story I once heard from the old people in the tribe when I was a child. ”
Ran Fei raised his eyebrows: "Go on." ”
"When I was very young, my grandfather moved here from a remote place, and I heard that in my grandfather's hometown, I would sometimes meet people like this, dressed in linen, and when they died, their bodies would dry up after a while. Thinking about the memories, he paused, as if remembering something terrible.
"Grandpa they didn't care too much about these corpses at first, and buried them all in the ground, but after a while, these corpses actually "lived", could walk, and could bite people, grow a pair of fangs, bite when they saw people, and after a period of time, their bodies began to dry up until they died, and after a period of time, they became dry corpses with the same shriveled and small fangs, and they did not distinguish between friends and enemies, and even their families would bite. ”
Hearing this, Ran Fei couldn't help but think of some myths and legends in Huaxia, which felt very similar to zombies.
In the end, as a last resort, there were more and more dried corpses, and my grandfather moved here with the people. Man finally said, looking at the dried corpse, his expression was solemn: "Chief, this dried corpse has to be dealt with, otherwise if it really becomes a dry corpse that will bite people, it will inevitably cause trouble." ”
Ran Fei nodded and thought for a while: "Put this dried corpse in the dungeon first, I want to see if it will become something that will bite people." ”
Man nodded, this is fine, at least the dungeon is so strong that even the pig's head shaman can't damage it.
