William is a soldier and does things vigorously, if you evaluate it according to Lin Tianwen, it is like an invasion. As soon as he was sure that the news given by the thieves was true, he immediately woke up the army, retreated to the western camp overnight, and did as Lin Tian instructed, one by one, using wood to set fire to fire, and using a large number of containers to hold water, and he even ordered the army to cut down a large number of numbers and cut them into planks in order to facilitate the cavalry assault......

Plank? What is it for? Is it like the orcs, a rudimentary shield?

Before answering this question, it is necessary to briefly talk about the fortifications of the Western Battalion.

The camp is backed by a cliff, and the terrain is gently elevated, with a certain slope. The general shape can be thought of as half a hexagon, but it is cut in half by the cliff, leaving the enemy to attack the same as the remaining three sides. At the top of the slope was the position of the large camp, where the orcs had dug a trench to prevent the enemy from attacking, which was a routine fortification, but it could stop the enemy's attack, whether infantry or cavalry.

To put it simply, if a cavalry wants to jump over, it must have a relatively long acceleration distance, and it must have good riding skills, and the war horse must be strong enough to jump over in one breath. And if the cavalry starting from the battalion obviously could not have this acceleration distance, and they would have to stop when they reached the trench, this must have been intolerable to William, because this would lose enough impact and the suddenness of the counterattack.

For this reason, he prepared a thick enough plank, which was not usually paved up, and was stacked in the back, which could also be used to block arrows, after all, according to the information given by the thieves, the opponent had at least 50,000 centaur archers, and the necessary preparations for defending against arrows were still necessary. Spread it again when the cavalry is preparing for the assault. The cavalry barely had to pause, and could fight all the way down. If this difficulty cannot be overcome. What else does he William talk about cavalry command?

Not only that, but by the way, he also asked the soldiers to prepare a large amount of dry firewood. Inside the camp alone, hundreds of large bonfires have been set up, and although relatively few have been lit at the moment, the light is still sufficient. This is mainly to prevent the orcs from sneaking up at night, and when necessary, the patrol warriors on duty will all light these large bonfires, and the whole position will be as bright as day.

There is light, and the warriors, of course, will not be afraid of the enemy's attack in the dark. This is Lin Tian's advice to him, and he has refined the implementation details even more.

It's a pity I didn't bring fire oil! He blinked. It's a bit of a pity to say.

There is such a thing as fire oil in the Sword Demon Continent, if you have to say it, it is the crude oil in Lin Tian's mouth. However, Lin Tian sent people to search everywhere for investigation, but they did not find any oil-producing locations. Originally, he had used his crooked mind to develop gunpowder, but after discovering that the laws of the world were restricted, he started to look for oil, but unfortunately he found nothing so far......

Even in the 21st century, it is rare to see crude oil directly exposed. Crude oil is generally produced at great depths in the ground. Without certain industrial support, it is simply wishful thinking to extract oil. For example, Daqing Oilfield, and then the oil and gas fields in the East China Sea, which oil recovery is so simple? How far does this have to go?

The oil industry in the twenty-first century. It is also supported by the technology of modern industry, have you heard of oil extraction earlier? Some countries in the Middle East have become rich in the past century. I used to be as poor as a B, so I didn't have oil before?

It's just that it's useless. It's just that it can't be collected.

In view of this, Lin Tian later gave up the plan to find oil. Otherwise. He has a lot of flying troops, and just spilling oil and lighting a fire can kill a lot of orcs.

At that time, Lin Tiannian was talking about oil, forcing the gang in the Ministry of Industry to be anxious, bringing him dozens of catties of vegetable oil, and asked him if he wanted it? directly made Lin Tian speechless......

William's fire oil is crude oil, and it is the crude oil that Lin Tian has never been able to find! But don't think that this thing is easy to come by, this kind of oil is still not mass-produced.

The Kingdom of Sunny Sun borders the Kingdom of Black Iron, so it is also friendly with the dwarves. Everyone knows that the dwarves like mining, and mining requires drilling. Generally, the production area of crude oil is very deep, so even with the digging ability of the dwarves, it is impossible to dig into the oil production layer, but this does not prevent them from coming into contact with crude oil.

In the process of mining, they did encounter a lot of crude oil, but the amount was generally very small, so small that it was almost impossible for crude oil to be used. William once received dozens of jars of crude oil (renamed fire oil by the dwarves) from the dwarves, that is, less than a few hundred catties and a thousand catties, so that he could send them to everyone for warmth in winter......

Don't laugh at him, the dwarves were meant to keep him warm, because that's what these dwarves do.

To sum up, the Sword Demon Continent is not without oil, but it is completely unable to form an output, and can only accumulate a little bit for critical moments, if you want to use fire oil to barbecue orcs now, well, you can wash and sleep.

But later, it may not be, Lin Tian is different from the aborigines, at least he will not use precious crude oil for heating......

In fact, there are still several jars of fire oil in William's palace, and what he is thinking about at this time is, why didn't he bring these fire oils? These giant bonfires, if they were supported by these oils, how could they burn so strongly? ……

Forgive these ignorant aborigines! Just like the people of the Middle Ages, who would have known that this thing could also be used to drive cars? Because at that time, they didn't have cars at all! Because the production is so small, everyone has hardly come into contact with it without adventures, let alone mining its military value......

Who has ever seen the kind of oil that gushes out of the hole when the oil is exposed to the surface? I'm afraid no one has seen it. Even if there is, the black, slimy shape, and the environment will be polluted, and someone will definitely make up some legends such as demonic tears and cursed poisonous water to package, right?

The overnight construction of the camp here is already in full swing. William did not hide the information he had obtained, but he also mentioned that the strength of the orcs had been greatly reduced, and the news of the arrival of Lin Tian's reinforcements was imminent. Some people asked when the reinforcements would arrive and how many people there were.

He only replied with a grin, Lin Tian's reinforcements can kill 140,000 orc armies in one battle, and they will arrive soon. Although some people are still dissatisfied with his slightly cunning answer, in the army, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and it is good to be able to inform the situation in advance, and the information provided by others is not fabricated.

According to this statement, if 140,000 orcs have been wiped out, then this battle still needs to be fought!

Coupled with William's commanding talent and prestige, the morale of the army is still quite high. (To be continued......)
