Chapter 793: The City of a Thousand Towers
This is the end of the story.
Although Granty was a little awkward, he quickly returned to normal, and since that was the case, it was not a big deal, and Luo Ming didn't get to the bottom of it.
In this way, time passed leisurely, and the snow gradually fell, but it was not too big, and Luo Ming's car was also in front of its destination.
The destination is the capital of the Anson Empire.
It has a poetic name, but Lomin prefers its abbreviation, the City of a Thousand Towers.
Even as the capital of the Empire, it is impossible to actually have a thousand mage towers - even if it has the financial resources, there is not enough manpower to make them fully functional.
But according to Aya's information, as of three years ago, there were 2,683 towers of various sizes in the city.
On the one hand, it was a style of architecture that had been popular in the southern part of the empire for a long time, and temples and mansions often preferred to build one or even several pointed towers.
Of course, most of these towers are thin and decorative, like the tip of a spear soaring into the sky, and only monkeys or agile warriors can climb it.
On the other hand, there are 938 towers, including many mage towers, with multiple city walls, urn cities, moats, moats, etc., forming a powerful defense system of the city of a thousand towers.
In the southern part of the empire, the handicraft industry was relatively developed, especially the crossbow making industry, and the ballista was also extraordinary, and one of the functions of the tower was to greatly increase the field of view and range of the crossbow arrows.
Imagine a massive array of towers that shoot arrows from all directions, with a commanding range and power that alone would be enough to give anyone who dares to attack a good drink.
Therefore, although the imperial power of the empire has been weakened for three hundred years, the rule of the royal family has been stable and unbroken—even if the rest of the region has been swept away by the rebels, the capital of a thousand towers itself is enough to stop them.
Then, when the rebels' momentum declines, internal divisions appear, or the emperor contacts foreign aid, the elite soldiers who have been recuperating in the city for a long time can be killed and reverse the defeat in one fell swoop.
Honestly, it's a pretty good idea, and if Lockin didn't use some new inventions, he couldn't think of a better idea for a while.
But he won't be stupid enough to use his shortcomings to fight for the other party's strengths.
"With a warship, it can travel hundreds of miles a day with a load of tens of tons.
With an earth tank and excavation and blasting, it is immune to ordinary bows and crossbows, and it is almost impossible for the opponent to counter without spending magic.
You can also consider using rifled guns, rotating shells, and maximizing the firing range while ensuring that the weight of the gun can be easily transported, and it should be possible to knock out the towers one by one outside the opponent's ultimate range......"
It can be regarded as idle and boring, Luo Ming began to fall into reverie.
Granty didn't know exactly what he was thinking, but she could guess it and couldn't help but laugh.
"You, are you thinking about how to attack it?" she asked with a low chuckle.
"You guessed it. Luo Ming scratched his head and replied with a smile.
Grant smiled and sighed: "You, you, you fought a lot of wars some time ago, and your heart hasn't been recovered?"
This time, you're here to catch up with old friends, don't be so murderous - even if you want to fight with the Plant family, there's no need to think directly about how to attack the city. ”
