This sudden blow made the distant giggles and laugh at the good show, and when they unscrupulously laughed at the whimsical turtle shells of this group of barbarian savages, they were instantly stupid, stunned for a moment, I don't know who took the lead, five or six hundred horse thieves were scattered in an instant, and they ran clean in a moment.

The first attack of the ghost horse was over, and he came from afar, only sending more than 300 war horses to Wanghai Town.

After the battle, Bai Qi returned to Wanghai Town with the infantry in an orderly manner, and the militiamen who were deliberately arranged on the city wall by Andre under the pretext of defending the city suddenly let out a deafening cheer......

The head of the Fergostein Knights, the Knight of Pleps, looked at the more than 300 war horses captured by the militia and was excited.

The horses left behind by the horse thieves were not very good, and could only be used as ranger mounts, not heavy cavalry mounts, but this also solved the embarrassing situation of the knights having no horses to ride.

……

The western continent is full of small countries, and its economy is far less developed than that of the eastern continent, but wars are frequent, which forces various countries to implement a policy of elite troops.

Due to the popularization of alchemy technology, the war on the Western continent did not completely become the world of heavy cavalry, like Europe on Earth.

The popularity of enchanted bows and crossbows and enchanted armor-piercing arrows limited the development of cavalry, and in fact the standard infantry phalanx was developed for heavy cavalry.

The shield wall composed of fourth-level warriors, supplemented by two rows of pikemen, can completely contain the charge of the heavy cavalry, and it does not need to be completely blocked, only the charge of the heavy cavalry needs to be stopped, and the heavy crossbowmen and longbowmen who use enchanted armor-piercing arrows can cause unacceptable damage to the heavy cavalry, you know, the cost of training one heavy cavalry is enough to pay the price of training four heavy infantry, not to mention the cheaper heavy crossbowmen.

Therefore, the Western continent did not develop the mode of warfare in which the heavy cavalry dominated the European continent of the earth. The forms of warfare are more diverse.

Of course, as a highly mobile unit, cavalry is still very important in the Western Continent, and under the baptism of heavy crossbows and enchanted armor-piercing arrows, the Western Continent has developed a cavalry system of heavy cavalry and rangers.

In general, in the knighthood of the Western Continent. A cavalry brigade, often equipped with a squadron of heavy cavalry and three squadrons of rangers.

The heavy cavalry wears much heavier and thicker heavy armor than the heavy infantry armor, this kind of heavy armor is even a fourth-level warrior, after wearing, it will be difficult to move, the general war horse can not move the heavy cavalry after armor piercing, only some expensive war horses with special blood can be used as heavy cavalry war horses.

Heavy cavalry dressed in super-heavy armor, riding in vests and armed with spears. Riding a war horse with a special bloodline, once charged, it is like an ancient tank.

The Rangers' equipment is similar to that of ordinary infantry, in the form of a combination of plate mail and chain mail, with a special treatment of heavy and hard plate mail to protect the chest and abdomen, and other secondary positions are protected by lighter chain mail.

It's just that the Rangers' armor is much better than that of the infantry, the plate armor is mostly enchanted, and the chain mail has thinner plates. And it is a double-layer or even three-layer structure.

The same weight of the Ranger armor is more than two-thirds more defensive than the infantry armor, and the weight is one-third lighter than the infantry armor.

The Ranger's armament consisted mainly of specially designed three-shot repeaters. Armor-piercing arrows, as well as shorter mounted spears and scimitars.

The rangers, so to speak, were a combination of archers and light cavalry, and it was also very difficult to cultivate.

The Rangers regained their combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness of Andrei's army was greatly improved.

The news that the foreign envoys in Wanghai Town had defeated the ghost horses and the thousand horse thieves spread like the wind.

Many of the refugees who left Wanghai returned to Wanghai with many more.

Andre immediately hired men to build a simple shack inside the old city wall of Wanghai Town. For refugees.

Some of the horses left behind by the horse thieves were used to pull carts and transport Liujiawan's aquatic products to Wanghai Town to supply refugees.

Once the refugees had been settled, the scholars immediately divided the refugees into several parts, one of which was responsible for building a militia training camp. Part of it was under the command of an alchemist to start a rudimentary alchemy factory.

In the Western Continent, the primary alchemy factory is a department that every noble domain above the baron level must have.

Scholars on the Western continent agree that the greatest inventions of the last century were castle binders and brick catalysts.

Castle adhesive is a simple alchemy product, as long as there is a special alchemy equipment, alchemy apprentices can produce it in large quantities, its main effect is to bond the city bricks as firmly as cement, making the castle or city wall stronger.

Castle adhesives differ from cement in that castle adhesives have a higher bond strength and are used in smaller amounts.

The brick catalyst is a catalyst that can change the strength of the fired bricks, and only a small amount of this catalyst needs to be added to the brick mud to make the fired rotor as strong as granite.

This successive invention made the nobleman's castle stronger, and it was the invention of two things that made the nobleman's castle more diverse.

Thanks to these two inventions, the nobles dared to sacrifice part of the castle's defensive properties, making it more comfortable and more beautiful.

Of course, the biggest effect of these two things is to make castles easier and stronger, and also to increase the number of castles on the continent of Salen.

……

The third group of refugees was placed in the four corners of the old city wall, where four brick-burning stoves were built under the command of scholars.

With the help of the all-night language, the clever scholars have mastered the Oriental language in a little more than a month.

Finally, and most of the refugees, they were arranged to dig a new foundation inside the old wall.

The side length of the new wall is much smaller than that of the old wall, which is 800 meters long, and the new wall is only 500 meters long, but the design height of the wall is as high as 15 meters, which is more than three times that of the old wall.

More and more refugees gathered in Wanghai City, and in just 10 days, the number of refugees increased from 4,500,000 to 10,000.

When there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, including those who eat and drink together, those who make trouble, and even those who have ulterior motives.

But these people obviously miscalculated, the Western aristocracy is not philanthropists, and the Western aristocracy actually has more ways to deal with disobedient tenants than the Eastern government.

Hundreds of wooden poles with the bodies of hanged troublemakers were stuck in the camp overnight, everyone shuddered......

Some left in anger, but many more chose to remain silent, after all, Wanghai is the only place willing to hire refugees with food. (To be continued......)
