Chapter 82: Before leaving
The next morning, before dawn, Qi Lin, who had always liked to sleep lazily, got up from his bed early and asked the herald to call the construction team composed of two hundred peasant uncles.
Then he pointed to a clearing circled on the map and said, "In this area, build me 10 barracks and 10 shooting ranges, and stables...... Let's build 5 for now! And here......" Qi Lin pointed to another clearing, "build 20 houses!" The barracks and shooting range must be completed as much as possible! ”
"Yes, General! However, the amount of timber and stone in the town is not much, and if these are to be completed, there is still a shortage of more than 3,000 timber and nearly 2,000 stones. A farmer took the map and looked at it, and then explained his difficulties.
Qi Lin frowned, he didn't expect that he had exchanged the tens of thousands of materials before, and he would run out again so soon, but when he thought of the thousand tons of grain, he said nonchalantly:
"I know, don't we still have a lot of food? For the time being, I will take some out of the market and sell them in exchange for wood and stone. ”
"Yes, General! It is expected that the construction of the barracks and shooting range will be completed by noon tomorrow. The peasant uncle saluted Qi Lin, then took the map and left with the others.
Subsequently, the town of Calradia, whose architectural style was incompatible with the whole of Rome, began a major expansion.
The whole town was bustling with activity, and the 'clanging' of hammers and axes from the peasant uncles as they built their houses was filled with the sound of the clanging of the hammers.
And the barracks and shooting ranges that have been built are at full capacity at the beginning, and the sound of slogans and swords is constantly coming from the barracks, and there are new non-archers practicing archery on the shooting range.
Qi Lin himself began to ride the snow every day, patrolling around the city to see if there was anything that needed to be replenished.
Even the blacksmith's shop, which had been closed for a long time, was up and running, bellows whirring and banging as they patched up batches of loot.
The preparations were all for Qi Lin to return to the real world five days later.
Of course, this preparation is not for the purpose of invading the real world, after all, with the backward military level of the Imperial Age, and Qi Lin's almost zero tactical thinking, it is really difficult to invade the real world......
The preparations mentioned here are nothing more than the hope that during the time of his absence, the Calradian town will be able to withstand the Roman army that may arrive at any time.
Even when no one is in command, it can resist the opponent's attack with the sea of people and ensure the safety of important internal facilities.
However, the Romans did not let Qilin wait long.
At dawn on the third day, when the sun was just breaking through the sky, a large Roman legion encamped about a kilometer beyond the outermost walls of Calradia.
And because the outposts planted along the way were all pulled out by the other party, Qi Lin couldn't determine the specific number of the other party for a while, and the reconnaissance cavalry couldn't get too close in the face of this heavily guarded camp, and even the other party would send its own cavalry team to chase down the reconnaissance cavalry who were too close.
Seeing that the time for return was getting closer and closer, and facing the fierce eyes of the Roman legions, Qi Lin suddenly felt anxious.
In this case, if you want to leave, you can only let the system pause the passage of time here.
However, if you don't die and quit, it's basically impossible to pause the flow of time in the movie world.
Even if Qi Lin was forced to withdraw from the film world when he died, the flow of the film world was only a relative slowdown, not an absolute stop.
And after being 'beaten' out of Superman World last time and tasting the updated new rules, Qi Lin no longer wants to feel like death at will.
That feeling is really worse than death.
If it weren't for the timely replacement of the capsules to relieve the pain, Qi Lin even felt that he was very likely to be really hurt to death at that time.
But if he didn't do that, Qi Lin couldn't think of any other way.
Send troops to fight hard with the other side?
Looking at the soldiers in his hands, in the past two days, after 12 barracks and shooting ranges, the number of soldiers has grown to more than 10,000, but Qi Lin feels that this method is not very reliable.
Although Qi Lin could not determine the number of Romans on the opposite side at this time, Qi Lin still learned about the formation of the other side among the Romans who had surrendered before Tong Guò.
A Roman legion, consisting of about 4,500 to 6,000 men, was supplemented by a permanent legion. In this case, the total strength is likely to exceed 10,000 people, which is basically the same as the number of soldiers in Qi Lin's hands.
And the more the number of cavalry in this subsidiary legion is 600, if you add the 300 men that the Roman legion has, then the number of cavalry will reach 900, so that Qi Lin will no longer have an advantage in the number of cavalry.
Even these reconnaissance cavalry in Qi Lin's hands will lose to the other party in terms of combat effectiveness.
In addition, two Roman legions and two subordinate legions could form an army group under the command of the consul.
Qi Lin looked at the endless military tents in the distance, and couldn't tell whether the other party was a Roman legion of more than 10,000 people and a subsidiary legion? Or a Roman army group of more than 20,000 men?
If the opponent was a Roman legion of more than 10,000 people, Qi Lin felt that with the characteristics of the imperial soldiers' friendly forces without damage, he could copy the combat methods in the last battle, and use the tactics of suppressing the infantry archers and approaching the foot soldiers, and perhaps win the victory.
After all, after two days of development, the number of foot archers increased to nearly 5,000 under the simultaneous production of several shooting ranges.
If Qi Lin unfolded all the soldiers at hand with all his strength, set up a position with the opponent in an evenly matched posture, and then fired a volley of archers to suppress the opponent's vanguard, and finally used the infantry to rush up and eat part of the opponent's melee, and slowly expand the results of the battle.
However, in this way, this Calradian town is basically an empty city, with only more than a thousand peasant uncles and peasant women, and at most a hundred or so Rhodok soldiers.
If the attack fails, and the infantry you send out are eaten by the opponent, this method is equivalent to looking for death.
Not to mention, Qi Lin is still not sure whether the other party is entangled with more than 10,000 people or more than 20,000 people.
"Alas, if only there was a military advisor!" Qi Lin sighed.
The situation of the other party was unclear, and Qi Lin did not dare to send troops out of the city.
Because he also knew in his heart that it was okay for his soldiers to fight a good battle, and if they encountered an enemy army with equal numbers and strong strength, it was still more likely to lose.
Looking at the neat tent of the Roman army in front of him, Qi Lin did not think that the other party would be weak.
Moreover, it is not unreasonable that Rome has always been a military power, and it will not be destroyed for thousands of years.
Therefore, with the current strength, it is impossible to beat, so it can only be passively defended.
Sighing helplessly, he accepted a few more flexible Rhodok sergeants to act as commanders, and after strengthening his vigilance, Qi Lin walked down the city wall and returned to his room.
Although the foreign enemy is current, the return still cannot be postponed, I just hope that these Rhodok soldiers and Imperial soldiers can withstand it, right?
As long as the opponent's first attack can be defended, and with the powerful replenishment ability of the imperial system, it is basically impossible for the opponent to attack it.
And when the town is upgraded and more powerful weapons and equipment are developed, the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers will definitely increase, and at that time, it will be the time for them to counterattack the Roman continent.
Now, let's let you be arrogant.
After sorting out the things in the game backpack, and asking the peasant uncles to pack a few tons of grain and which accessories into a few large wooden boxes prepared in advance, and put them into the space ring, Qi Lin changed into modern casual clothes and said in his mind.
"The system, after leaving, can adjust the speed of time loss?"
"Yes, Your Excellency! In the case of a normal exit, the time flow rate can be adjusted to a minimum of 1:1, that is, the flow rate of the movie world is the same as that of the real world. The maximum is the current default flow rate of 24:1, that is, the time of this movie is 1 day, which is equal to 1 hour in the real world. The system explained.
"Then adjust it to 1:1, if you go too fast here, I'm afraid that by the time I come back, the house will have already been pushed away......" Thinking of the Roman army outside, Qi Lin was depressed.
However, thinking that he could come back at any time, Qi Lin was also a lot more relieved.
Although you can't travel to the movie world frequently, if the speed of time is the same, it shouldn't be a big problem to spend a few days in the real world.
"Come back!"
[After that, it will be interspersed with reality and this world, and this world will not directly end orz]
