Chapter 53 Our army was defeated at the sight of the enemy
However, the strong vitality of the helmet dog is still beyond the imagination of the kobold - although this time, there is no guy digging a hole from the cave wall, but after the round of firing of the six cannons, there is still a helmet dog, withstanding the musket and rushing to the artillery position!
Someone who was pouring water from the dimensional cave said, "Don't say anything, turn in!"
The dog's head turned back again and the run went forward......
This time, however, it was a little more relaxed than last time, when a troop of kobold cavalry (mounted chocobos) appeared at the end of the line, dropping large iron balls as they ran - this was the doghead's first grenade: the 'Black Pineapple One'!
This thing can be described as quite primitive, a hollow iron ball cast by the 'Iron Fan Method', which has many grooves like a pineapple, and then drags a long fire rope behind it, and is also very careful to wrap the waterproof leather on the outside. As for the principle of explosion www.biquge.info it's no different from the oldest firecracker.
This thing, which is close to the size of a pineapple, is bloated and heavy, and the kobold can't throw it away at all!
Therefore, they are not even 'defensive weapons', they can only be called 'retreat weapons'......
But against those 'helmet dogs' behind him, who are covered with cold water and limit their speed, it is unexpectedly easy to use!
Accompanied by the rumbling explosions behind them, thousands of kobolds arrived safely at the third position.
New Battle Pose Unlocks: "Defeat the enemy, break eggs along the way"!
The last pre-arranged position is much more shabby......
Worthless things like barricades are quite rich, but there is no six-pounder cannon left, only two poor 'three-cannons'. This thing is okay with its power, if it can hit...... However, due to the limited structure, it cannot shoot scattered bullets, so it is far less useful than artillery.
Although a batch of crossbow arrows was specially made, and the 'Black Pineapple No. 1' was fixed at the top, God knows how lethal it can be......
However, under the double interference of the 'Black Pineapple No. 1' and the stagnant water on the ground, the 'helmet dog' no longer has that unstoppable momentum, and a few helmet dogs, full of wounds, staggered in front of the kobold, and then were knocked down by the 'three cannons' and rounds of guns, and the kobold took a good time to meet the enemy's refueling tactics, until the sixth helmet dog was killed, and the battlefield was quiet.
"No helmet dog has come, this battle can be regarded as a victory?" The old man thinks that the enemy should be almost wiped out, and it may not be ...... if the species is exterminated."
After a confused battle, although the hunch of the 'helmet dog' should have been wiped out, it is also a fact that the kobold's artillery has been exhausted.
This time there were only twenty-four guns brought, and there were twelve guns on the two positions in front, which was already half lost. And there were several forks in the road along the way, and in order to hold these nodes, half of the artillery was also divided. After that, the dogheads collectively retreated to the 'No. 3 position', and the artillery could not be taken away, and this half of it was naturally lost.
Well, no guns!
Liu Jingtian began to calculate: "Now there are two choices, let the kobold venture forward and find the cannon, or retreat first, and I will get a few more cannons to come back and find a field......"
Needless to say? Someone's slogan is safety first! So the kobold, who won a big victory, dropped more than 20 cannons and left the mountain empty-handed...... Although this battle was won, there is no one in this style of 'winning or losing'.
However, the volcanic mines were finally returned to the kobolds, and the mines were no longer full of magical creatures, and all the stopped mining work resumed.
Afterwards, with the help of the second wave of cannons, the kobold easily returned to the place where he had fought last time. Along the way, the artillery pressed the formation, and there were no twists and turns at all. They not only recovered all the materials and artillery lost on the way, but also collected the corpses of more than 50 'helmet dogs' one after another.
As the Chocobo Scout Team completed its training in batches, they also began to explore the underground of the volcano, and these guys were no less fast than helmet dogs, and the 'Black Pineapple One' was a good scout.
It didn't take long for Tedamir and Ma Qianyu and the others to figure out that there were indeed not many helmeted dogs left, and only a limited number of survivors remained, huddled near the lava lake in the deepest part of the mountain, surviving for a long time.
It's a pity that it's too hot there, and the kobold really can't get close.
In short, this dormant volcano can be regarded as completely taken down.
It's a pity that the hard-working Liu Jingtian can't enjoy the joy of victory, and his hometown in the dungeon is in crisis again......
On the main base, crops are growing very badly.
The kobold people are absolutely dedicated to taking care of the farmland.
There are several mutated spiders that help to get rid of insects and pests -- even wild boars can catch and eat them! There are mutated earthworms and livestock that make farm fertilizer. There are even kobolds who work tirelessly weeding all day long.
But the leaves of the crops are still wilting, and those on higher ground have begun to wither and yellow......
Thousands of kobolds looked at the fields with tears in their eyes, and their mood was very broken - they are going to starve to death this winter, right?
Liu Jingtian sighed: "Judging from the old man's experience in cultivating land that he didn't have for a day, there is only one truth! Why don't you water it?"
Well, as a half-baked man who farmed the land on his own for the first time, the kobold really didn't know how to water.
Everyone learned to farm in the Dark World, where farmland was carved out on all sides surrounded by swamps and rivers, and taught by the natives of the Dark World.
The water table is so high that crops don't rot their roots! Everyone knows the consequences of watering......
The kobold looked confused: Do you still need to water the land? Well, although the king's reason is very nonsense, but watering is watering, because the king has always been wise and martial...... Then, the kobold got stuck again.
It still doesn't seem like there's anything you can do...... The total area of farmland is too large! I am afraid that I will die of exhaustion before starving to death when I water it with wooden barrels!
Fortunately, Liu Jingtian didn't take a nap when he was in history class, and one of the ancestors' inventions can still be remembered - a waterwheel!
In the following days, the kobolds, who were afraid of starving to death, began to mobilize the whole army, not only digging several canals, but also lining up along the river, building countless waterwheels: naturally the simplest kind of 'dog-powered waterwheels'.
As for the more labor-saving hydro waterwheels and windmills, then push them back.
This nearly 10 square kilometers of farmland has also evolved directly from the dry land that depends on the sky for food to the watered land.
Lying on the high sentry tower, Liu Jingtian looked at several six-pointed star-like bastions, surrounded by neat farmland and canals, as well as the rammed earth walls on the periphery of the farmland to prevent wild beasts, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
