Chapter 68: Conflict

In the days that followed, Meng Chen stepped up his training of soldiers, and at the same time sent several hunting teams to hunt wildly in the central region of Dilong Valley.

It has been five and a half months since the city of hope was built, with a total population of 1,621 people.

These include 400 Farmers, 50 Lumberjacks, 300 Quarrymen, 60 Coachmen, 50 Miners, 150 Swordsmen, 130 Marksmen, 127 Elite Swordsmen, 136 Elite Marksmen, 66 Sword and Shield Warriors, 68 Marksman Archers, 2 Swordsman Instructors, 2 Marksman Instructors, 2 Elite Swordsman Instructors, 2 Elite Marksman Instructors, 1 Sword and Shield Warrior Instructor, 1 Marksman Instructor, 10 Tailors, 20 Blacksmiths, 10 Carpenters, 10 Leathermas, 4 Cooks, and 4 Butchers, 10 mausoleum keepers, 2 scholars, and 2 doctors.

There are only four months left before the arrival of the evil moon, and the eighth and ninth sections of the city wall in the core city will take another three days to complete.

At this time, the four warehouses in the City of Hope have 21,640 lumber (gray/white), 11,840 stone (gray), and 442,650 grain (gray/white).

As for Meng Chen's resource space, he has 28,960 gold coins, 632 soul power, 7,080/10,000 grain (gray/white), 106/1000 wood (gray/green), 100/1000 stone (gray), and 0/1000 metal (gray).

After checking the resource attributes, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "The reserves of timber are already as high as 20,000 units, far exceeding the current needs of the City of Hope. Moreover, the trees in the core city and around the inner city walls have been cut down, and the role of the loggers is becoming less and less. ”

At this time, Alfred walked into the city hall, bowed to Meng Chen, and said, "Lord Lord, outside the parapet wall of the mountain pass in the north, a force of scalper cavalry has appeared, and the number has reached more than one hundred and twenty!" ”

"Scalper cavalry...... Wild Cow Village? The caravan in Shanli Village missed the appointment again, and it is estimated that it was also the ghost of Manniu Village. It seems that Manniu Village can't bear it anymore! Meng Chen muttered to himself.

When Meng Chen arrived at the northern mountain pass, the scalper cavalry outside the parapet was very anxious and had a faint intention to attack.

Standing on the lookout platform, looking down at the scalper cavalry outside the parapet, Meng Chen sighed: "It's a pity that the lookout platform of the guard tower is too narrow to lift the three-bow bed crossbow......

At this moment, a shout came from outside the parapet, "The surname Meng, come out quickly and spread the word, otherwise don't blame me for waiting and break through the gate of the parapet again!" ”

The person who shouted was none other than Niu Han, who was fooled by Meng Chen that day.

Meng Chen smiled, leaned out his upper body, and replied to Niu Han: "Your Excellency, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Seeing the main protagonist appear, Niu Han said in a deep voice: "The surname is Meng, were you playing with me last time?" Niu Han's disappearance has nothing to do with Shanli Village at all! ”

Meng Chen replied with an aggrieved face: "I just raised a possibility, and I didn't say that Niu Han's disappearance must be related to Shanli Village?" ”

"You ......" Niu Han was speechless for a while, and could only skip this topic to talk about business, "The surname is Meng, last time you said that the people of Oseril would prepare a heavy gift and go to Manniu Village to pay a respect. What if it's been more than half a month, the people of Ocellrean? What about heavy gifts? ”

Meng Chen replied helplessly, "Your Excellency, the people of Oseril were originally going to sacrifice ten blacksmiths to Manniu Village. However, the blacksmiths blamed each other, and they were reluctant to go to Manniu Village, and now they are enlightening the Lord and the Commander. After a while, the blacksmiths will be sent to the village of Manniu. ”

"Humph! The surname is Meng, this time you don't want to fool me again! If the people of Ocellel really want to make a sacrifice, send ten blacksmiths out of the parapet at once, or I won't believe you if you say anything!" Niu Han snorted coldly.

"......" Meng Chen was speechless, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the people of Manniu Village are not as easy to deal with as last time!" ”

The two sides were silent for a moment, and Niu Han shouted: "The surname is Meng!" Immediately inform the leader of the Othariels and have him send ten blacksmiths and 100 refined swordsman equipment out of the parapet in half an hour. Otherwise, the people of Ocellil will not want to survive in the Valley of the Earthdragons! ”

Regarding the tough behavior of Manniu Village, Meng Chen obviously couldn't continue to delay.

However, at this moment, the soldiers of the City of Hope occupy an absolute geographical advantage.

If the scalper cavalry of Manniu Village really dared to attack the parapet, Meng Chen would definitely let them know...... Why are the flowers so red?

An hour passed quickly, and Niu Han stared at the parapet and shouted, "Since you are so uninteresting, then don't blame me for stepping on this pass!" ”

Immediately, Niu Han commanded more than 120 oxen cavalry to charge towards the gate of the parapet.

At present, there are a total of 300 soldiers in the mountain pass north of the Dilong Valley, of which 150 are stationed troops and the other 150 are temporarily transferred troops.

The two-hundred-meter-long parapet wall, every thirty meters or so, there is a guard tower more than 20 meters high.

On the lookouts of the six guard towers, all of them are sharpshooters with strong bows, and more than 30 meters behind the parapet, there are still 60 elite archers on standby.

Looking at the hundreds of scalper cavalry rushing towards the parapet, Meng Chen silently estimated the distance in his heart, "Three hundred, two hundred and five, two hundred!" ”

When the scalper cavalry was about to enter the 200-meter range of the parapet wall, Meng Chen ordered: "All the archers, the cavalry on the back of the target scalper, shoot freely!" “

As soon as Meng Chen's words fell, nearly thirty sharpbow archers quickly pulled out their strong bows and shot deadly arrows at the scalper cavalry.

Alfred, on the other hand, commanded sixty elite archers to attack the scalper cavalry two hundred meters away from the parapet wall by projectile.

Under the combined blows of sharpshooters and elite marksmen, more than a dozen scalper knights will be hit in each round of shooting.

With the tattered equipment on the scalper cavalry, they couldn't stop the arrows of the 2nd and 3rd level archers.

What will happen to a cavalryman in a high-speed charge if he is hit by an arrow?

Most of the time, even if you don't die on the spot, you will fall to the ground because of the unstable center of gravity, and then be trampled to death by the cavalry behind you!

Yes~! Yes~! Yes......

Screams came one after another, and a yellow scalper was shot off the back of the ox.

At a short distance of two hundred meters, for the scalper cavalry, it would take less than ten breaths to charge through.

However, these ten breaths of time were enough for all the archers to shoot four or five rounds of arrows.

The scalper cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and Niu Han, as the leader, was dripping blood in his heart.

Picking up a rapidly shooting arrow, Niu Han secretly hated: "As long as you break through the gate of the parapet, I will kill all the archers in the Earth Dragon Valley!" ”

Even at this time, Niu Han was still confident of defeating the Othellols.

Obviously, the last time he easily broke through the gate of the parapet, Niu Han had some kind of illusion.

Besides, it's already halfway through the charge, so it's impossible to turn around and run away, right? If you do that, you'll die faster!
