3,000 people is definitely not enough, but even if there is a large army of 30,000 people, someone will probably be just as small......

In short, recruiting troops is only the first step, and in addition to continuing to collect manpower, we also need to train troops, and trade with the 'Hassan clan' must continue, and there are a lot of things to worry about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Ping'an, who participated in the whole process of recruiting troops, asked a question: "You recruited troops to take the pirate port, right?

Liu Jingtian: "Pirate Harbor has two castles and one harbor. Each castle is not small, and it feels like a small indoor basketball hall. I reckon that there must be a thousand or so defenders in each castle, and even more pirates in the harbor, but they are all rabble, and I am not worried.

"For the sake of conservatism, to storm the castle on the shore and at the same time not to let the enemy escape, the troops should not be less than five thousand, after all, the opposite side has a geographical advantage.

"There must also be a large fleet at sea! It is of course best to suppress the fire of the castle and attack the city directly, but if the castle cannot be attacked, then the waterways on both sides of the castle must be blocked to prevent pirates from escaping. It's hard to say how many people you need in this, it depends on how big your ship with a 'dog power' engine is.

"By the way, our musket team is three dogs and one gun, so theoretically the combat power of three kobolds is equivalent to that of a human, you know!"

Xu Ping'an felt that there was no need to count, there was a shortage of at least five thousand.

There are 5,000 soldiers on land, and even if you don't toss the castle on the sea, it is estimated that there will be no less than 5,000 sailors in the fleet.

And the total number of kobolds is only 13,000 now, and there are still thousands of craftsmen and 'intellectuals' left behind to be soldiers. The rest of the manpower is divided by three, and even the land attack half is not enough, let alone the sea blockade half.

Coupled with the 3,000 Imperial Allied Army and German mercenaries who are not of great use, the gap is also terrifying.

"No, no, if you count it like this, you can send troops at least a year later, and only if everything goes well during the development stage and you can continue to recruit locals into the army. Do you want to think of a way to save some manpower, such as sneak attacks and sneak in, or something?"

Liu Jingtian: "However, the old man has always put safety first, and the tactics are too exciting, and the heart can't bear it!"

Xu Ping'an was furious!

Liu Jingtian decisively changed his words:

"Wait, don't get excited, I want to figure it out...... Perhaps, the castle on the sea can be solved by a sneak attack, and the same can be done on land! If both places are taken by lightning, a thousand men can defend the two castles. About 3,000 people on land can attack the harbor, and then use two fleets to block both ends of the harbor, and we will be stable...... That's okay, right?"

Xu Ping'an: "It's pretty much the same! I'll find a way to recruit people for you, and then you carefully calculate how many people are missing." ”

Looking at his back, Liu Jingtian sighed: "Sneak attack...... Where is it so easy, if the old man doesn't do it himself. Forget it, let's just think of the university dormitory closing and climbing over the wall. ”

In the next few days, the Great Demon King closed his door, burying his head in calculating the distribution of troops everywhere, weighing the gains and losses.

These days, Brother Long, who has always been lazy, suddenly became diligent, and he turned through books seriously all day long, writing a thick book.

He originally led countless fish people, and he fished for sunken ships in the sea, not too majestic.

As a result, he was unexpectedly detained in the city by Liu Jingtian, not allowed to go out, and said that he was going to do something 'Black Africa Pull Human Head Plan', which is really inexplicable!

As a result, Liu Jingtian threw him aside again, ran to plan the battle plan by himself, and forgot about it...... That's excessive!

Since the crossing, Brother Long has had a dream of being a general, but he didn't have the opportunity to realize it, so he gradually extinguished his thoughts. Now sitting in the city, looking at Xu Ping'an, who has no pursuit, has tens of thousands of younger brothers under his command, my heart is really tormented!

So when Xu Ping'an was not too busy, he came over:

"Brother Xu, what are you busy with?"

"Oh, isn't the expansion of the army not going well recently, I'm counting the ethnic composition and religious beliefs of each production brigade to see if there is any way. Interestingly, the vast majority of the natives under our rule are Berbers, and I thought they were Saracens!"

"Berbers, what's so special?"

"Of course it's special, although this nation also believes in the Star Moon Sect, it is actually not very fanatical, they have changed their doctrine in many places, such as monogamy, and women do not veil at the same time, and there is a little bit of primitive belief still retained, how fresh!"

"Isn't that weird? Looks like we're like that over there in the Celestial Empire, right?"

"Is it okay for our Celestial Empire to change its religious habits and put it on the whole earth? And don't you think that as long as there is enough reason, it is possible for these aborigines to change their religion? Unfortunately, the effect should be very slow, otherwise I would like to establish a scientific truth teaching!"

Brother Long was taken aback: "Religion can also be original?"

Xu Ping'an: "Wait! Don't talk nonsense, what kind of original Yuanchuang ...... This is the Middle Demon Plane, maybe there will really be gods! This is one of our previous thoughts, we want to 'comprehend' a primitive religion, and then take it to Africa to fool the Black Silk, and finally form a Guardian Knights! Unfortunately, I don't have a clue......

He said a lot later, but Brother Long couldn't listen to a word. Now, in his mind, pictures are constantly scrolling.

A Knights Templar! Countless large bald heads with tangled muscles, dressed in gorgeous armor and burqas, holding large swords, shouted in unison: "For the Holy Light!"

Then, with a neat phalanx, Hula swooped down from the mountain......

The enemy at the bottom of the mountain screamed: "12345...... 59! It's 59! The enemy's 59 has rushed down from the mountain!"

He grunted and swallowed a big mouthful of saliva: "This noodle! This noodle! No, I'm wet......"

Brother Long, who had been busy all his life, finally broke out: "Brother Xu, let's not say anything, please Lord and the church, wait for the news of the victory of the Knights!"

And then he ran away......

Xu Ping'an: "It's started again...... Why should I say again?"

These days, all of them are so out of tune.

Tesfield and Guan Renxiu, the two animal protectors, are basically resident in the shipyard, and the rest are one person and one dragon, one is in retreat, and the other has adolescent spermatosis, and only he does the messy work.

Xu Ping'an had to start making various preparations for the trip to the Sahara - all along, there was a prosperous trade route in the sand sea, Marrakech was the northern end, and Yanbaktu in Africa was the southern end, which was the legendary gold trade, the Sahara trade route.
