Chapter 104: Forming a Cavalry

Another three days have passed, and the plot task of exterminating the Liukou in various places is progressing very quickly, and most of the third-level cottages that have been refreshed in this county have been captured by the coalition forces of the imperial court camp.

In addition to the resistance of the players in the Rogue camp at the beginning, it was a headache for the players in the Imperial Camp, and later more players adapted to the brutal and bloody siege warfare, unlike at the beginning, when they were stunned by certain situations and died inexplicably. However, in fact, the players in the Rogue camp generally lose a little equipment money, but the level is not decreasing but rising, which makes the players in the court camp envious.

With the development of the plot, some guild forces with strength and foresight found that the situation was wrong, because according to the refresh law of the cottage, it was refreshed once a week, and now it has been almost two weeks since the last refresh, but there is still no new third-level cottage refreshed.

This change made them panic, everyone wanted to get more points during the story mission, but compared to the player power to get a small city-level settlement, it was more tempting than getting a million points. However, the county government also seems to be very interested in small city-level settlements, and has invested a lot of troops, material resources and rewards to encourage players to participate in the siege of the city, and the NPC's investment at any cost has also made players aware of the importance of the city.

Just when the guild forces were desperate to get the small city, Lu Shuang quietly took down another third-level cottage, and the news came from the players who happened to stay in that cottage at the time, and the coordinates were specially marked. At this point, a total of four third-level cottages in the entire Hailing County were equally divided between the government and Lu Shuang, and generally there are three third-level cottages in a county, and the largest ones are up to four.

Some bold and supportive guild forces stood up and demanded that Lu Shuang hand over these two cottages, which should be shared by all players in Hailing County, and should not be eaten alone. Of course, this statement was supported by the majority of hired sailors, clamoring for Lu Shuang to hand over the Iron Rope City and Yangguan City, and vote for the city lord to take care of himself, otherwise he would be defeated as he pleased, and specially sent people to the border of King Kong Town to demonstrate.

There must be a lot of super guilds behind this approach, and they can't wait for public opinion to stand on the opposite side of Lu Shuang, and at the same time, they are also actively cooperating with the local guilds in Hailing County to plot against Feitian Town.

The reason why Lu Shuang dared to go to the next city with great fanfare was that the training task he gave to Yu Wenchao before leaving was completed ahead of schedule, and the total of 30,000 recruits vacated was enough to take down a third-level cottage and daily city defense work. This is also a snowball development, and the loss of capturing a city can be quickly replenished after gaining a large number of people, which is still very profitable.

After winning two third-level cottages, Lu Shuang's points came to one million, which could be exchanged for a lot of valuable things. Among them, the primary skill book is the most sought-after, which allows fourth-order soldiers to comprehend primary skills and advance to fifth-order soldiers. In this situation where NPCs are scarce and player levels are insufficient, it is a common practice for lord-level players to quickly create high-level soldiers through skill books, but a primary skill book costs 160 points, that is, killing ten fifth-order soldiers can be exchanged for a primary skill book. But it also made a lot of them flock, after all, the fifth-order soldiers still play a great role after they have a certain scale.

Lu Shuang's million points were not used to exchange for boring things such as skill books, but spent 800,000 yuan to exchange for a blueprint for the production of a ballista, and the remaining 200,000 points could not be exchanged for anything good, and were used by Lu Shuang to exchange for equipment and props, striving to equip the main generals in the territory with a gold-level weapon.

The damage of the ballista's attack is not as good as that of the catapult, but the crossbow arrows shot by the ballista have a wider attack range, and basically as long as the opponent's number is not very small, it can string a string of gourds as soon as it is fired. It can be said that it is better to use catapults to deal with the city wall, and the effect of ballistas to defend the city or deal with people is better, Lu Shuang has begun to put thousands of ballista carts on each side of the city wall, plus the help of archers, as long as the other party does not have a giant catapult or a giant ballista, how many people will die.

This ballista Lu Shuang was handed over to an SS-qualified king-level carpenter to be in charge of production, and specially spent money to build him an ultimate carpentry workshop and equipped with a king-level carpenter as an assistant, and the production of ballista cars reached as many as 5 per day.

When Lu Shuang occupied the last third-level cottage, two system announcements resounded to everyone in Hailing County:

"Hailing County Announcement: Hailing County's plot mission to exterminate the Liukou is officially over, and the points system will be closed the next day, please clear up the points in time. At the same time, the top 10 player forces in Hailing County's standings should gather at the county government three days after completing the story tasks in all counties of Guangling County to receive rewards. ”

"System announcement: Hailing County's plot mission to exterminate the Liukou is over, players can re-choose the faction, and there is only one chance to choose."

Hailing County ended earlier than other counties because of Lu Shuang's participation, after all, when the government and the joint players won two third-level cottages, Lu Shuang had already won two. This also led to Lu Shuang's extremely high points in the county and even the whole country, and he has always occupied the first place in the county's standings, far behind the second place.

Fortunately, there was good news on this day, that is, Hu had given Lu Shuang one building drawing for the ultimate blacksmith shop and one for the ultimate tailor shop before, and according to the trading of all the equipment for the daily production of these two buildings, all the equipment for the daily production of these two buildings belonged to Hu's forces, and Lu Shuang could not only get the permanent right to use these two architectural drawings, but also exchange a set of eighth-order soldier equipment for five medium war horses. After some days of overtime and accumulation, thousands of sets of equipment have been accumulated, and Lu Shuang saw that the equipment was almost produced, so he sent someone to contact Hu and said Why do you hand over a batch of goods, when will you deal with the war horse.

1,000 sets of equipment for 5,000 war horses, although it is not very profitable, but who makes Lu Shuang very short of war horses, he can't wait to build an invincible cavalry.

However, there was a little episode in the process of exchange, that is, the war horse as a creature cannot be put into the space ring, and must come back one by one in the teleportation array, otherwise it can only drive the horses from Xiliang to Hailing County, and I don't know if it will take the year of the monkey to come back. In the case of the teleportation array, two horses are on top of one person, that is, the cost of two horses teleporting once is the same as the cost of one person teleporting, which is the setting of the system for everyone's convenience, so that Lu Shuang, who originally needed to pay 5,000 gold, paid less by half.

Cavalry is similar to the navy, it is not something that can be trained in a moment, it takes a long time to accumulate experience on horseback, maybe it is okay to deal with some infantry, but if you encounter a nomadic cavalry, you will hit a stone.

Therefore, Lu Shuang advanced the training of cavalry, and 1,000 of the 5,000 war horses were used for cavalry archery among the light cavalry, and the seventh-order soldiers were used as cavalry archers, equipped with divine arm bows and crossbows. The remaining 4,000 horses were used for the cavalry spears in the heavy cavalry, and the eighth-order soldiers were used as horsemen, giving full play to the powerful charging strength of the eighth-order soldiers.
