Chapter Seventy-Five: A Thousand Against One Thousand (1)
In the alternation of day and night, from the time he first came to this world until now, Qi Lin has been here for a month.
During this time, Calradia, a remote mountain town in the middle of the Roman map, seemed to have been forgotten.
But Zilin was not happy about this, because in order to wait for the arrival of the Roman army, he spent a lot of resources to build his own fortifications, and the towering walls can be said to enclose the town with three layers inside and three layers outside, and several watchtowers for defense were built at various key points.
But now, Qi Lin stood on the wall, but all he saw was a touch of yellow sand outside the city, and half a figure could not be found.
"Just forget about me, is it really okay?" Qi Lin sighed helplessly, "I thought that the Romans would come soon, so I hurriedly built a fortress wall, but the result was ......."
"Report!" Just thinking about it, a scout cavalry suddenly came quickly, and before he even had time to wait for the city gate to open, he shouted directly at Qi Lin under the city wall, "General, the outpost ahead has found an abnormality!" ”
"Huh? The Romans are coming? Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly called out the system to open the map of the Imperial Era, and sure enough, he found a group of outsiders' markers near a hidden outpost.
However, this map does not directly switch to a certain location like in the game, because the main window is always centered on Qi Lin, so if you want to understand the situation there, you have to go through the reconnaissance of the Guò soldiers.
So Qi Lin hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and at the same time, he himself quickly ran down the city wall, looked at the reconnaissance cavalry who was riding and wanted to walk by himself, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the Roman army that is coming?" ”
"Yes, General!" The scout cavalry nodded.
"Sure enough, it......'s still here," Qi Lin said secretly, and then hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Quickly go to the center of the town and ring the alarm, first recall the peasants scattered outside the city, and at the same time gather the troops and wait for my order." ”
"Yes, General!"
Watching the guards leave quickly, Qi Lin turned his head to look at the scout cavalry in front of him, and continued to ask, "How many people are here?" Do you see everything clearly? ”
"Yes, General!" The scout cavalry nodded, and then said, "There are about a thousand men, mostly Roman infantry, and the number of archers is about two hundred, and there are a small number of cavalry, but those cavalry should be some commander's guards, because there are only about twenty of them." ”
"Only a thousand?" Qi Lin was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Is it a reconnaissance unit?" But then looking at the scout's sluggish expression, he knew that he had asked in vain.
Looking at the direction of the Romans on the map, they rushed towards the main entrance.
"It seems that the other party doesn't know my strength?"
"Boom! Ding Ding Ding! Boom! Dingding......ding"
The distinctive bell rings from the direction of the center of the town.
"Is this the bell used to recall the villagers? It's the first time you've heard of it...... What a unique bell! Qi Lin sighed, and then looked at the map again, but this time he looked at the location of the square in the town.
At this time, a large number of their own personnel have gathered and collected them, forming a large blue patch, and those who don't know may think that it is a small lake or something.
"Go to the town square and inform the assembled troops to go to the main gate, let the archers climb the walls, and the others will be on standby for the time being." Qi Lin said to the Scout Cavalry.
"Yes, General!" The scout cavalry answered, then clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and left as fast as the horse neighed under his crotch.
"It's quite convenient to have stirrups...... Qi Lin looked at the direction of the other party's departure and muttered secretly.
Then he called the guards around him and ran in the direction of the main entrance.
Since the distance from the main gate was not too far, by the time Qi Lin arrived at the city gate, his troops had not yet arrived, and there were only a few archers standing guard on the city wall.
But fortunately, the Roman troops had not yet arrived, and Qi Lin was not too worried.
After ascending the city gate with the guards who followed him, a few minutes later, a dense sound of horses' hooves was heard behind him.
Hearing the prestige, on the wide road that had been specially set aside, a group of scout cavalry rode up, and it was evident that the four-legged ones were much faster than the two-legged ones.
"Why don't you let these cavalrymen go out and raid first?" Qi Lin thought as he looked at the cavalry who came to the open space under the city gate.
After a month of development, for some reason, after the construction of all the feudal era buildings was completed, the option to upgrade the castle era has still not been unlocked, and the upgrade conditions Qi Lin has never had a clue.
So looking at this group of soldiers in the Imperial Era whose combat effectiveness was not very high, Qi Lin could only vigorously produce soldiers, trying to make up for the disadvantage of quality with quantity.
So today, the number of this group of reconnaissance cavalry alone has reached more than a thousand.
With the exception of those he had sent out to scout and keep for the purpose of providing a message, the remaining thousand scout cavalry for battle were now all gathered under the city gates.
At this time, Qi Lin looked at this group of reconnaissance cavalry, but secretly thought: "A thousand cavalry, even if the combat effectiveness is scum, it shouldn't be a loss to fight a thousand infantry, right?" ”
I opened the map and looked at it, in this desert, there are basically no trees or anything like that, and the terrain is much flatter than other places, which can be said to be very suitable for cavalry attacks.
And now the group of Romans is walking on the avenue, except for a few red dots that look like scouts wandering around the brigade, there are no other ambush troops on the map, and according to the scout cavalry, the opposing troops are mainly infantry, and there are only two hundred archers, and the cavalry is basically the same as none.
"Why don't you try? Even if you really can't cut it, if you let this group of cavalry withdraw in time at that time, you shouldn't lose too much, right? ”
Qi Lin scratched his chin, and then called the person who was temporarily the captain of the group of scout cavalry, pointed to the location of the other party on the map and said, "Now I give you a task, you take this group of cavalry, go to this position and attack them for me." If you can beat it, you can hit it directly, and if you can't beat it, you quickly retreat. ”
"Understood, General!" The captain of the scout cavalry nodded, took the map from Qi Lin's hand, and then walked quickly down the city wall and mounted his horse.
A moment later, the city gate was opened, and Qi Lin lay on the head of the city, leaning down to watch the group of cavalry gallop out.
After the last cavalry drove out of the gate, Qi Lin looked up into the distance, and suddenly found that in the distance, a black team had appeared on the horizon.
