"Tom, who is better between you swordsmen and their light cavalry?" After a while, Yifei recovered from his fantasy, looked at Tom on the side, and asked with a smile.

"My lord, of course our swordsmen are amazing!" Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Tom said proudly.

"Hehe, my lord, don't believe Tom's words, swordsmen and knights are originally different classes, and there is no way to compare them together. If you really want to compare, in terms of individual strength, the strength of the swordsman is stronger; But when the group army was fighting, if there was no wall of halberders' guns, they would not be able to withstand a surprise attack by the cavalry," Robbie, an armed sergeant standing aside, suddenly spoke.

After listening to Robbie's words, Yifei figured out what was going on, although the light cavalry was not wearing iron armor, he was still a cavalryman, and the strength of the collision brought by the galloping of the war horse was still not something that could be resisted by manpower.

And with the cooperation of other arms, the swordsman can easily destroy the number of knights who are several times more than his own, but like a single class head-on, they belong to the object of the dish!

After figuring this out, Yifei finally understood why in those large-scale battles in history, the side of the pure knight legion was always the loser in battle, that is, because with the cooperation of the troops, various means and terrain can be used to greatly reduce the speed of the cavalry, and the cavalry without speed advantage is a dish to be slaughtered!

But in some environments suitable for cavalry, cavalry is invincible, especially the heavily armored knights, who are more like steel monsters.

Time passed day by day, and seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yifei has a deeper understanding of the difference between the system in hand and the previous game, and has discovered the most significant difference.

First of all, the soldiers in the previous game did not consume any food, but in reality, these soldiers were big consumers of food, so he had to build some buildings to produce all kinds of food again to cope with the consumption of the soldiers, and suddenly the whole city became more crowded.

There was no more space inside the castle except for the open space by the campfire at the fortress gate, and there were some more buildings outside the castle near the city walls.

The second is that he can give orders in the virtual game interface, just like in the game, and any ideas he has can be immediately communicated to the soldiers created by these systems as long as they are within the visual range of the map.

Finally, there are the various needs of soldiers and residents, and in the past, taxes could be levied in the game as long as the total happiness was not negative, but in reality, taxes can still be collected, but in a slightly changed way.

Every day he had to pay the workers and soldiers of the realm, and the total monthly salary of the soldiers was equal to the price at which they were recruited, and the workers were all five gold coins a month.

And the worker, after receiving his wages, took the money to buy food from the barn, to buy all kinds of household goods from the workshops, and to pay the rent at the council hall, and in a series of transactions he could draw some taxes.

At the same time, although the gold they paid would flow into his coffers again, he could not force the people to spend all the gold they received every day; The second is those big wage earners, that is, those soldiers, who not only have to manage food and housing, but also pay wages!

That's it, this in and out, the remaining gold coins every day are basically better than nothing, and the only thing that can be received in his hand every day is only a few gold coins, and thanks to those workers and some soldiers and their families, if it is really the same as the game, all of them are singles, he is afraid that he will have to cry!

In the days that followed, as the number of soldiers grew, he found that his income had become negative, and if he hadn't sold candles in the store every day to get some money, he might not even be able to pay his salary!

After discovering this situation, Yifei felt that the most important thing at this time was to get money! But where can you get the money?

Increase the population of the territory and then tax it?

It's unreliable, because some of the increased population belongs to vagrants, that is, those who squat around the campfire and wait for their work assignments, and they don't pay a penny of taxes, but have to consume bread.

Just like those talents in an enterprise who have not yet been hired, there is that, waiting for the job assignment, the basic salary still has to be paid.

Produce all sorts of goods, sell them to the system?

This is even worse, the system store gave a cheap purchase price and a black-hearted selling price, so that Yifei instantly dispelled this idea, and resolutely did not trade with the system until there was no way out!

He thought about it and found that the only feasible way was to trade, to trade with the people of this world.

Why did he have this idea, it was thanks to the harvest from cleaning the battlefield a few days ago that gave him a hint.

A few days ago, after repelling the attacking orc attack, he sent some soldiers out to clean up the battlefield, and then after the battle, he actually obtained more than 500 gold coins, more than 300 units of iron ingots, more than 1,000 units of meat and a lot of useless animal skins.

In the heart of the windfall, he sold those useless animal skins directly to the system, but sold more than 10,000 gold coins, which immediately made his deflated waist bag bulge.

Thanks to the support of those harvests, he still has a thousand gold coins in his small treasury now, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!

After discovering that the materials in this world could be converted into materials in the system, he hoped that the orcs outside the city would donate a little more.

Although they are very poor, the wolf skins of more than a thousand wolf warriors can only be sold for more than 1W gold coins, but mosquito meat is also meat, and it is also a harvest for him who is so poor that he has to drill into the eyes of money!

But a week passed, and the orcs stationed outside the castle did not move at all, and they were not as brave and fearless as described in the novel.

In fact, this is also to blame for the previous Gong archer's performance too strong, and it has something to do with some of the buildings he built behind him.

Wald, whose attack was blocked, thought that after the tribe sent some reinforcements, he would destroy the small castle in front of him that had brought him shame, and then pull Yifei out on the high platform to light a sky lantern to wash away the anger in his heart.

But on the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, a tall tower appeared out of thin air in the small castle in the distance, and the hideous-looking defensive equipment placed on it made him recognize it at a glance after many wars, and suddenly made him completely give up his thoughts.

At this time, he didn't know what he was thinking, so that no matter how provocative Yifei was in the next two days, he just didn't attack, cowered in the camp, and ignored it.

And Yifei, who was single-mindedly thinking about safety first, and constantly strengthening the castle's defensive strength, did not expect that he gritted his teeth and vomited blood to build a tower defense one by one, and then looked forward to waiting for the orcs to attack again.

If he knew this was the case, he would have vomited blood!

As time passed, he sat on the empty mountain, and the gold coins in his hand became less and less day by day, and seeing that the orcs outside the city had no hope of attacking at all, Yifei's brows furrowed even tighter.

There is no money, there is almost no money in my hand, and I am panicking! Why don't the orcs outside attack, your bravery? Are you fearless?

However, no matter how much he muttered to himself, the situation outside was still the same, and the orcs were still cowering in the camp.

Seeing this scene, Yifei had no choice, he could only send someone to take a look outside to see if he could find a way to get money.

After thinking about it, he decided to let the newly recruited light cavalry complete a mission, that is, to ask for help while asking for merit.

He wrote a letter with some news about the orc attack, leaving his name and the pattern on the ring he had found, of course.

It was to let the light cavalry send this letter to those rulers in the rear, the purpose of course, to cheat some rewards!

From the previous series of actions of the orcs, he analyzed where the orcs should want to raid, but he was stopped by himself who suddenly appeared in this world.

It is a fool not to be invited!

As an otaku, Yifei is certainly not a fool, and he has the shrewdness of a small citizen, so he exaggerated his deeds a little bit in his heart, exaggerated the losses a little, made the enemy situation a little more serious, and most importantly, he also asked the people below to give the light cavalry a set of bloodstained, tattered battle suits and a broken sword full of gaps.

And so, after all was in order, the hussars embarked on a journey with his hope!
