Under this feudal system, the superiors did not have much binding force on the subordinates. This is of course a good thing for Luo Ming today, he doesn't have to worry about being found fault for doing a little thing.

But if he grows stronger, how can he restrain his own subordinates?

It's not impossible to play the cult of personality, there are many successful cases in the history of the earth, like Luo Ming, a time-traveler and apostle, with knowledge and supernatural abilities from another world, is undoubtedly the most suitable for the role of a great man from heaven, but it also depends on the time.

In this world, once such a cult of personality is poked out, there is a great chance that it will be regarded as a cult and uprooted -- those experts who slay demons and exterminate demons have never seen anything? They will not leave people with a chance to defend themselves, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than spare one.

After a moment's thought, Luo Ming paused his thoughts.

In his previous life, he saw a book, in which the protagonist claimed to be a scholar of politics, and he could defeat the sages of the ages by relying on a policy program of just 100 words, and flatten all disobedience, even if he did not rely on the golden finger and did not need to surpass the technology of the times, he could also defeat many heroes in history by virtue of politics and military integrity.

Well, not to mention the problem of fiction, that guy's setting is a genuine scholar, and he has read almost all the historical materials of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and many of them can be memorized, and on this basis, he has studied and practiced for decades.

Luo Ming himself is an out-and-out martial artist, his academic performance is only good, although there are some extracurricular readings, but most of them are online novels, which is far from being well-read. Many of the truths and stories I heard were still heard when I was chatting with the two masters.

It's a bit impractical to come up with a proper way to do it in such a negligible amount of time.

Luo Ming asked Aya to help remember the subject, then clear her mind and refocus her mind to prepare for the next battle.

After all, although the victory rate is very high, the risk of siege warfare is still not small, and there are hidden enemies.

After a while, some of the rudimentary siege equipment was manufactured.

These include wooden shields that stick into the ground to provide some defense for archers, and ladders that can be said to be indispensable in siege warfare in the Cold Weapon Age. In addition, according to Luo Ming's suggestion, two more light guard towers were built.

More siege equipment, not to mention whether there is time to make it, and even if there is time, there is no technology - even if Luo Ming can ask Aya to provide him with some blueprints for catapults or something, Miyana does not have such a good craftsman to build it.

After all, the castle was only built with the baron's financial resources, the walls were less than five meters high, and the moat was just over five meters wide - there was not much water in it, to be honest, it was just a small stream, and there was a possibility of thistles and bamboo sticks hiding at the bottom of the water, and the silt could slow down those who tried to wade through the water.

But to put it bluntly, it's not a high-walled city. It is naturally invincible to deal with the rogues, but now in the face of the army that is slow to build siege equipment, it can be broken normally.

With Sherlock's order, the soldiers walked briskly towards the city with weapons in one hand, shields on their backs, and ladders in the other, while shouting loudly to boost morale and shock the enemy army.

At the same time, archers, both temporary and professional, a dozen in all, hurled in the direction of the people standing at the top of the wall.

It is not required to be accurate, or even to be able to shoot at the top of the city wall, as long as it does not hit the head of its own soldiers, it can already cause a lot of deterrence to the enemy - it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to have the courage to calmly shoot when the enemy can shoot themselves, or even a few arrows nearby, so that a little fire suppression is formed.

Despite this, as the soldiers approached the city, the casualties still appeared more and more, fortunately, there were not many archers on the other side, and even that sharpshooter could not shoot like a machine gun, although a dozen people fell, but it did not affect the overall situation. What's more, these people also include the bandits who were captured before, and they don't feel distressed when they die.

In the face of the ladder, the city was quickly replaced with rockets, but the besieging side had long expected this trick - the ladders, wooden shields, and even the soldiers' coats were sprinkled with a lot of water, and even if one or two rockets were shot, it was not a big threat.

Thanks to the moat, a stream was artificially led to this side and flowed into the moat, which also made it easier for the besiegers to get water.

At this time, Luo Ming, Granty, a knight, and two armoured horsemen rode forward in dispersion, outflanking the city wall from the side.

Horseback attacks were generally unlikely, but the high mobility provided by horses made them a threat to the archers on the walls.

Due to the small number of people, there were only five horsemen in total, and the people on the city walls naturally did not focus on them - it was difficult to shoot, and it was difficult to shoot through with armor.

From the point of view of the defenders, the cavalry was far less of a threat than the infantry carrying the ladders. This is downright short-sightedness, though.

Only the sharpshooter felt that something was wrong, and shouted something as he took his bow and arrows in this direction.

Unfortunately, he found out a little late.

The first time three arrows came together, one of which grazed the side of the knight's armor, making a dent and sparking, but it failed to penetrate, and the second missed, and the third stabbed Granty's horse in the hip, and she hurriedly dismounted and walked—but she was no slower than a horse for a certain time.

The second arrow sniped at Luo Ming, and the tip of the arrow still faintly flashed with fighting energy, but everyone held a shield in their hands, and Luo Ming raised a thick wooden shield covered with a layer of iron sheet, which happened to protect most of his body. The arrow lost its lethality as it pierced the shield, and when it hit the chain mail he was wearing, it stopped moving completely.

Then they came to a place close enough to shoot, and everyone dismounted and began to draw their bows and arrows.

To tell the truth, the archer on the city wall did not do a bad job, but the manpower was sometimes poor, and now it was his turn to be bullied in turn.

The five men stood by the moat and shot at the city, and the sharpshooter had to shrink behind the battlements, and occasionally he could pull his head out and release an arrow, and then quickly retracted.

If you don't have enough time to aim, then it is naturally impossible to shoot as accurately and as hard as you want.

Not far away, the soldiers had set up a ladder over the moat - it could be used not only to climb the city walls, but also to bridge the river.
