Chapter 086: The Feast of Fort Jerburg
In fact, the so-called Svadia army of soldiers invaded and sacked the village of Pahimi was just a pretext, and the truth of the incident was that Saga Khan ordered one of his chiefs to set a wildfire on the outskirts of Pahimi village and burn to death several pre-arranged death row prisoners, and then used this as an excuse to launch a war of aggression.
This excuse for declaring war is actually very clumsy, even so clumsy that it makes people feel ridiculous, as long as people of insight can see through this conspiracy. But on the continent of Calradia, such an excuse is actually very face-saving for the Svadians... At least the Kugit Khanate wasn't an unknown and indiscriminate division, was it?
Then the kingdom of Ragnar issued a war mobilization order, announcing that half of the country's men and horses, with the lord of Iaya as the commander, would gather at Fort Derburg and launch an attack on Tyrkburg.
In fact, Su Hao knew early on that the Nord Kingdom was preparing to launch a war against the Swadia Kingdom, why? Because the reason why the Nord Kingdom signed an armistice agreement with the Kingdom of Vegia more than a month ago is not only because of the threat of the Swadia Kingdom, but more importantly, to stabilize the rear. With an armistice, the Kingdom of Vegia did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world to fight again without declaring war and sneak attack the rear... After all, this country already has a history of undeclared war, and once shamelessness has disgraced the whole country, and once again shameless, I am afraid that even the people of Virginia will think that the ruling king Yarogerk is not a ruler who doesn't even want a face.
But even so, Su Hao still left 500 men and horses and Rogge in the rear, and then cooperated with the local mature militia mechanism to garrison Jeerbo Fort, Yinyue Town and Mazan Village, trying to ensure that the rear was not lost. At the same time, in order to deal with Svadia's heavy iron horse, he also spent a lot of money to create a full 300 sets of bronze heavy horse armor.
The bronze heavy horse armor is very heavy, and the vast majority of mountain war horses produced by Nord are difficult to bear this weight, and only the exceptionally strong horses can bear it, but the good horses that meet the standards, there are only 50 horses in Su Hao's stable, and 50 heavy iron horses are not large-scale at all, and the number is undoubtedly too small.
And the arrival of Meng Shiqi and Liu Hang undoubtedly solved this problem perfectly... There are 500 of these good horses in their ranks! Among them, there are both grassland war horses produced in the Kugit steppe, and snow war horses produced in the Virgia Snow Field.
As a result, a company of heavy cavalry led by Dwight appeared in Su Hao's army, numbering as many as 300 people.
Of course, against the Swadia cavalry team, what must be won is not only a head-to-head confrontation in the cavalry, but also a targeted battle with the cooperation of the troops.
Avril then handed over a blueprint of a weapon that was not available on the continent of Calradia: the Hook Scythe.
Unlike ordinary spears, the hook scythe is only 8 feet long in length, with a sharp head, and under the head there are side protruding barbs, the barbs are curved inward, and the head can carry out a straight line of assassination attacks, and the barbs cut the horse's legs on the ground, thus forcing the enemy to fall off their horses and create a fighter.
I have to say that Avril's existence, in this world of horseback riding and slashing, is indeed a BUG-like existence, because of her cracking ability and networking ability, in a month on Earth, she may have been connecting to wifi, downloading materials, and enriching her database, and therefore, she can think of ideas that many people can't think of.
Plug door knife carts, thistles and rejection horses.
Here are three other ideas that Avril came up with.
The Saimen knife cart is a very strong two-wheeled vehicle made of hardwood, there are three or four layers of wooden frame in front of the car, each layer is fixed with 8 sharp knives, a total of 24 sharp knives are installed on the front wall, the body has a long wheel, once the enemy's cavalry tries to charge, the Saimen knife cart is lined up, horizontal in front of the infantry and crossbowmen, so as to effectively stop the enemy's advance, and then supplemented by a rain of arrows and hook and sickle to block, can effectively restrain the cavalry.
Tribulus terrestris, also known as the Horse Nail, is a military iron scattering obstacle with 3-4 iron spikes sticking outward, with a hole in the center, which can be connected together with a rope and is easy to collect. Once the enemy steps on it, it will definitely pierce the soles of the feet, puncture the horse's hooves, and then produce local poisoning, once to contain the enemy's offensive, so that the battlefield can be effectively controlled.
The rejection of the horse is a kind of moving obstacle, made of wood as a herringbone frame, the head of the gun is worn on the horizontal wood, so that the tip of the gun is outward, located in the vital place, mainly used to defend against cavalry assault, so it is called the rejection of the horse, its production is quite simple and fast, and it can also be recycled after use.
Here I have to talk about the Sword and Rose Banner, due to the addition of Meng Shiqi's Silver Moon tribe and the establishment of Silver Moon Town, then there is no doubt that the scale and strength of Su Hao's territory have been further expanded, and at the same time, the ability of the Sword and Rose Banner has been improved.
With skill 1, the value increase of all attributes of Rodria's Glory Aura has been increased from 2 to 3.
And the skill 4, Rodria's Silver Moon, has been added, and the effects are as follows:
Due to the addition of the Silver Moon Tribe, the patriarch of Rhodelia can now randomly summon one of the three holy beasts under the command of the Silver Moon Chief Meng Shiqi to appear on the battlefield in the form of projections, they are: White Wolf Silver Moon, Steppe Eagle Dark Gold Wings, and Kugit BMW Burning Plain Fire.
The projection has all the combat power of the body.
Kugit BMW Liaoyuan Fire is the head horse of the wild horse herd that Meng Shiqi encountered on the way to the north, a horse with a completely fiery red body up and down, without a trace of superfluous variegation, really traveling thousands of miles a day, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on the ground, running like a spreading fire on the grassland, and now, it is Meng Shiqi's mount.
……
Soon, Su Hao responded to the call of King Ragnar, with 2,300 people and the corresponding heavy grain and grass, to the Jerberg Fort, and inside and outside the Jerburg Fort, it was already full of mobile men and horses and the camps of An, a large number of infantry, archers and a very small number of cavalry used to reconnoiter the enemy, which could be seen everywhere.
As one of the lords participating in the war, Su Hao must attend a banquet in the castle of Jeerbergburg.
The lords present at the banquet were Lord Rejekepoye of Derburgburg, Lord Iaya of Wochandze, Lord Eden of Tiha, Count Olaf of Rudaburg, Lord Terg of Herusburg, and Lord Sue Rodria of Djerborg.
"Hey, Sue, we haven't seen each other for a month and a half since you and I parted at Elbuc Castle."
This tall old man wearing heraldic heavy armor and gray hair is the Lord of Iaya, who once promoted Su Hao, and he also used Su Hao's counter-plot to win the Battle of Elbuk, which can be regarded as a favor, so he is naturally very grateful to him. And Su Hao led the lone army deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Vegia, occupied Elbuk Castle without a single soldier, and expanded the territory for the Nord King's country, which can be said to be an unborn star in Calradia, for such a new star, Iaya not only appreciates, but also likes.
In fact, he had such a friendly attitude towards Su Hao, and there was another reason, that is, he saw some shadows of his dead son from him.
"Hello, Lord Iaya, the battle of Elbuc that day, if it weren't for your support, it can be said that I wouldn't be where I am today." Su Hao responded very politely and respectfully.
In fact, correspondingly, Su Hao also likes this old man very much, and always has a reverence for him, this old man has no shelf, optimistic attitude, self-improvement, although he lost his son in old age and was in a sad mood, but he still insisted on winning the battle of Elbuke, which can also be said to be a very respectable, admirable, and very likable enlightened nobleman.
"Hey, this guy is the new lord Sue Rodria?" Another middle-aged man with blond hair and a body as majestic as a lion and tiger walked over and looked at Su Hao with curiosity and disdain.
Su Hao replied without humility or arrogance, and said, "Hello, Count Olaf, I am Lord Su Rodria. ”
Count Olaf is arrogant, brutal, very unpopular in the Nord Kingdom, and is also a very traditional old nobleman, for a new nobleman like Su Hao, he will naturally have a little disdain.
However, although he has a very poor personality, he is the most enterprising general in the Nord Kingdom, with a penchant for killing, strong martial arts, and extraordinary bravery, and is known as the "war maniac", which is why he was sent to this coalition army.
Seeing that Su Hao was neither humble nor arrogant, and dealt with it calmly, Count Olaf also reluctantly replied with a fist salute at the moment, and then left.
The process of the banquet is very simple, mainly to greet each other, exchange feelings, and discuss the next itinerary. As a new nobleman and new lord, Su Hao naturally received a lot of extra attention, and these eyes were both appreciative and disdainful.
Among them, the enlightened lords who have some ideas admire Su Hao very much, and think that the series of reforms he has made in his own territory are very effective and have reference significance, such as Lord Iaya, Lord Eden, while those traditional lords have a less friendly view of Su Hao, thinking that he is a cynical, even a little rebellious, and a guy who violates the Nord tradition, such as Count Olaf.
Su Hao didn't care about their opinions, and he didn't put the slightest enthusiasm and attention to those lords who opposed him, but chatted with the more like-minded Lord Eden and Lord Iaya.
It has also to be said that the lord of a city and the lord of a castle are very different in terms of knowledge. For example, militarily, both Iaya and Eden advocated the development of cavalry to facilitate warfare on the plains, and at the same time built spearmen and crossbowmen to deal with the great enemies of the Nord kingdom in the near future, the three kingdoms of Vigia, Kugit, Salander and Swadia with strong cavalry, while economically, they advocated the development of an agricultural economy, and diplomatically, advocated long-distance and close attacks.
These propositions are actually very contrary to the traditions of the Nord Kingdom, which has always advocated the development of a single infantry and archery armies, and the economy is mainly based on fishing, hunting and commerce, and pursues a single policy of closure and expansion in diplomacy, but there is no doubt that these traditional economic, military, and foreign policies will lead the entire Nord Kingdom into a dangerous situation, and its essence is to be in a corner of peace, becoming an isolated kingdom that is unable to expand externally. And Iaya and Eden are the first to publish these advanced opinions, which can be said to be half a step ahead of the times.
After the feast, the lords returned to their camps, gathered their men, and prepared to attack Fort Repole, which was garrisoned by the Count of Daygrana.
At this time, Su Hao, Kazama Qianxue, Meng Shiqi and Liu Hang heard the long-lost and familiar voice again:
"Mission 2: As a member of the Nord Kingdom, you participated in the war of aggression against the Swadia Kingdom, and your characters are to destroy the opponent's living forces as much as possible, or capture the opponent's castle or town, in short, to assist the Nord side and win this war, but if you release water, it will lower your evaluation of this world adventure."
