Chapter VII: The Northern Expedition

Ying Zihan entered the system and saw the task "Mission, eliminate the goblins who came to rob, time, before the goblins returned to the North Plains." Reward cacti, poplar tree. ”

Ying Zihan: "What the hell is your reward?" ”

System: "Considering that the host's territory is being eroded by the desert every year, these will allow you to improve the situation." ”

Ying Zihan: "If it doesn't form a scale, a small number of trees are useless. How many cacti and poplar trees do you offer? ”

System: "This system doesn't let you get these out of thin air, so start from this moment." The amount of plants lost by your army's felling is the amount of cacti and poplar you can get at the end of the mission. ”

Ying Zihan: "You unscrupulous system, I am an army, not a lumberjack." ”

System: "Start a long-term task, after testing, this task can be carried out for a long time, please seize the opportunity." ”

Ying Zihan was relieved at this time, otherwise he would let all of them cut down trees.

Then there is the Northern Expedition, Ying Zihan is ready to leave tomorrow, and the grain and grass will be replenished when it reaches the north. He's going to get the big things in the realm ready in another day.

Ying Zihan gathered his subordinates at noon, and his team was initially formed. On the left is Yang Yuan, Li Hunter, and on the right is Ying Cheng, the butler Uncle Eno Wilk, who has been brought from the royal city by Ying Zihan. Although this man is a bit old-fashioned, loyalty is guaranteed. There is also a person who was promoted from the carpenter by Ying Zihan.

Ying Zihan first looks at loyalty, and then ability. Almost all of the meeting was him, and everyone else was listening.

Ying Zihan first ordered: "The manufacture of the Qin crossbow must be kept strictly secret, and the ordnance battalion must make every effort to build the Qin crossbow during this time, and test the power after it is built, as long as it meets the requirements." "The ordnance battalion is an institution equivalent to an arsenal that was established only in the morning by Ying Zihan, and the only people are those carpenters and blacksmiths. Ying Zihan chose a skilled and loyal person from among these people to be the battalion commander.

Then Ying Zihan instructed Ying Cheng again: "After I leave, you will not only have to deal with political affairs, but also other work."

First: Cooperate with the work of the ordnance battalion

Second: let the slaves tear down all the walls, and later build new ones. Drawings I'll give you in the evening. An army will also be left behind to accompany you. Then you recruit some masons and discuss the details with you in the evening. ”

Then Ying Zihan began the arrangement of the army again: "I will lead the violet cavalry to set off first, and General Yang Yuan will lead your troops to come later." As for the cavalry, it was left to Mr. Yingcheng to take care of the slaves. ”

Yang Yuan said that he didn't understand, he came today after receiving the order, but he didn't expect to attack the goblins. Didn't this lord listen carefully to him yesterday? So he stood up and asked, "My lord, what are you doing to fight the goblins, this is a thankless task! If it is only defense, the army in the north plus the number of villagers are enough. ”

Ying Zihan laughed: "Haha, don't worry, I have my own clever plan." You don't have to worry, just execute the order. "Who is Ying Zihan? He said that he wanted to kill three birds with one stone this time. Then he let the meeting break up and secretly instructed Ino's butler something.

Then the meeting was hasty. In fact, Ying Zihan has just arrived, and if he wants to be reckless, he is afraid of opposition from below. If he brought a thousand violet cavalry this time, he directly signaled that he would build the city wall, and he still needed to catch labor?

After giving Yingcheng the drawings of the fortress at night, he jumped the old man. Can this be called a fortress? It's a city that never falls. Even the royal city is nothing more than that. It is ten meters high, fifteen meters wide at the bottom and twelve meters wide at the top. This type of wall is not only huge in scale, but also completely different from the western wall. Ying Zihan comforted him and let him go down, in fact, this scale was only Ying Zihan's preliminary request. Later, if there are conditions, there will be heightened and widened. Ying Zihan's ambition can also be seen from this.

However, this is such a city wall, and the human and financial resources consumed are all bottomless pits. That's why Ying Zihan had to go to the Northern Expedition. Otherwise, even if you use all the strength of the territory to build this territory, it will be useless.

The next day, Ying Zihan, a careerist, led the violet cavalry to set off. He also wore a suit of armor, which made his ordinary body a little unbearable. But this is necessary, ordinary violet cavalry, so to speak, armed to the teeth. Even if they stood still and let the ten goblins fight, they couldn't do anything. If you want to hurt the Violet Cavalry, you must first be able to split through the heavy armor outside. Those goblins weren't dwarves. Without their superb forging skills, even ordinary small tribes of wandering goblins did not even have iron weapons. Take a stick and use it as a weapon. Ying Zihan only needed to lead the violet cavalry with a charge to defeat them, and then cut off their rear road, and the other soldiers followed to capture the prisoners. It's that simple to fight, and it also has something to do with the weakness of the enemy. As for the black-backed jackals that are coming to invade in winter, Ying Zihan feels that as long as his back hand comes out, it is unknown whether these things will be wiped out.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry. The violet cavalry led by Ying Zihan took a short rest in Shacheng and then went on a northern expedition with the lord. In fact, these cavalrymen did not think that this was war. Each of them has been through a lot of battles. Their opponents are the elite of the enemy nation, and now they are going to destroy the bandits, and then to attack the goblins. Although they have complaints, the military order is like a mountain. They are all kings of the army. They knew these things better, so they all swore in their hearts that they would take this breath out on the goblins. Let the blood of these goblins wash away their wrath.

Ying Zihan led the violet cavalry all the way forward, and finally arrived at the northern town of Dahuang Town three days later.

Ying Zihan first sent a few people to report, and then began to rest in the town. Continuous marches are not suitable for war. Although the goblins are vulnerable, aren't there still a thousand people from Wang Jian? The heart of defense is indispensable, not to mention Ying Zihan, a person who doesn't trust anyone. Ying Zihan first let the army rest well, and if there is a conflict, he can also suppress them.

Then I learned about the goblins, the autumn harvest has begun, and the goblins have begun to assemble. To the north, there are more than four thousand small tribes and wandering goblins, and if only a few more large tribes lead them, they will begin to attack. So Ying Zihan planned to leave in two days.

But large goblin tribes are not on a par with wandering goblins and small goblin tribes. They also have knowledge and ambition, and although their weapons are not as sharp as humans, they are also lethal.

But everyone at the level of Ying Zihan didn't know that they used this opportunity to train their troops every year, as well as to accumulate food and weapons. They also have ambitions to not only annex wandering goblins and small tribes, but also use this opportunity to weaken rival large tribes. Goblins are much more intriguing than humans. I heard that mankind is constantly disarming, and now is a good opportunity to attack on a large scale. So this time the goblins attacked almost with an army.
