Chapter 11: Pullen Steelskin

August 1st year of the royal city of Pulen.

................................................

It was the end of summer, a year and eight months had passed since the establishment of the Pulen King's City, and four months were still before the second anniversary of the city's founding.

Today is a sunny day, and the cloudless sky looks extraordinarily wide. The endless earth, cloaked in emerald green, extends to the intersection of heaven and earth.

On the sun-drenched earth, a huge city stood beneath the sky.

The wide and thick city walls embody construction technology far beyond this era, and the huge and vast area is far beyond the imagination of any human beings in this era. If you have to describe how transcendent this behemoth is, it may only be described as a miracle of God.

The walls of the fourth fortified city of Pulun have reached a height of 16 meters, and there are mixed arrow towers about 5 meters high on the walls, one every seven meters. From a distance, these towering arrow towers are densely packed on top of the thick city wall like a forest of spears.

Kerala ...... A screeching grinding sound.

The part of the front of the tower facing the outside of the wall is also coated with a thick layer of concrete, which not only has a strong resistance to blows, but also is invulnerable. Like his predecessors, Char has made many modifications to these weapons to protect the country, until the peak of his era and his royal city technology.

The six-meter-wide wall is surrounded by giant trebuchets every 12 meters, in addition to the arrow towers that stand like spears in the forest.

This is a new weapon developed in the city of Pleon, a new trebuchet created by mixing and matching some iron tools and gears, and discarding the original all-wooden structural design. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it bears the name of a trebuchet, from the outside, you would have felt that this weapon is more like a 450 mm caliber shore-based gun......

Giant springs are mounted at the base of the cannon, assembled with sixteen pinions and eight large gears, and a metal rocker is set on each side. Only two men were required to shake with all their might, and one loader loaded all four shells into the grooves in the breech.

At the sound of an order! The revolver pulls out the metal bolt, and the giant spring that has lost its obstructive force immediately rebounds! At that moment, the reaction force generated will exceed the firing range of all long-range weapons at present, which will be two times or even three times as far! Even if it is an ordinary lightly armed shell, even a distance of two kilometers may be reached!

However, the life of the giant spring is relatively short, and after more than 100 launches, there will be an inevitable phenomenon of "metal fatigue", resulting in a decrease in range and power. However, in contrast, this thing can fire four heavy iron bullets and six light iron shots at once. 100 launches in a row, even an army of 10,000 people will suffer a lot of losses.

Coupled with the fact that this kind of "3,000 ...... is named "I want you to die", ahem, it is wrong. It is the Pulon Cannon, codenamed Gundam.78.

GunDam.78 is one of six new heavy long-range projectile weapons under the GWB (Armed Logistics) Development Division, and is the only one with the letter G series. It was also developed at the same time as the C series of medium mobile field projection weapons. Currently, in addition to the G-Series 78, which is already equipped with the "First Ring of Defense" of King Pullen, the second and third defensive circles inside are also equipped with four C-Series medium projection weapons.

There are a total of four defensive circles in the city of Puren, except for the first to third defensive circles, which are located on the ground, the additional fourth defensive circle is the most special, it is hidden in the underground corridor twelve meters underground. The Underground Corridor and the King of Great Britain are connected to each other, allowing troops to infiltrate through here at any time.

........................

In addition to the external defensive updates, even more colorful is the internal era renewal of the Pulon King City.

On the wide, smooth concrete roads of Pleon, you can see many children riding "bicycles" through the streets, and the occasional sudden braking will cause a startled exclamation.

The so-called braking is that the treadle wheel is rubbed backwards, and the falling pestle rod will automatically stop the rear wheel and rub against the ground to achieve the purpose of deceleration.

Walking passers-by seem to have become accustomed to this novel means of mobility, and even many adults have their own "bicycles" in their hands.

In addition, you can see more and more horse-drawn carriages on the road, and both in shape and appearance are very similar to those classic British horse-drawn carriages of the early 19th century. However, most of the horses that pull people are retired or injured old horses, and the real new horses are not so luxurious.

Three months ago, the Puron Kings collected the incapacitated horses from a group of traders at a low price, and then retrained them to become special transports for the Puron Kings.

The first to propose the reform of the means of transport was naturally Drak the King of Plen. D. Char, and it was the knight under the moon who actually carried out and commanded it. I have to say that Yania is indeed very clever and clever, Char's words only listened to it once, and immediately understood the meaning of the words and implemented them perfectly.

At present, there are a total of 676 adult war horses in the royal city of Pulun, most of which were purchased and collected during this time. However, it is amazing that a natural horse farm has been accidentally discovered in the mountain range behind the city of Pullen, where a herd of medium-sized wild horses inhabits it, and the city of Pullon is already planning to capture them.

That medium-sized wild horse herd was about three hundred horses, which is honestly not a lot of them. But cherish it, cherish it, and the mares in that herd of wild horses can occupy a third of the number. With mares, you can breed them with artificial aphrodisiacs, and then keep the remaining ponies in captivity, and in a year and a half at most, the royal city of Pullen will have its own exclusive horse farm.

The Knights of the Songs and their Joan of Arc are currently in charge of this matter.

In addition to the advent of horse-drawn carriages and bicycles...... Oh yes, and it's important to explain that bicycles aren't what we think they are, because the British Isles don't produce rubber, so they can't make tires. In fact, this kind of bicycle is like the wooden wheels of a horse-drawn carriage, as long as the structure is properly handled, it can bear a large weight, and it is not slow to run.

The advent of bicycles has solved the convenience of most of the civilians in the royal city, but the shortcomings are also obvious. Although King Pulen had designed everything needed for the bike except the tires, the heavy wooden wheels caused the gear friction to increase, shorten the life of the gears, and increase the resistance to rubbing...... And so on, all of which led to the demilitarization of the plan to come to naught.

And the most damn thing is that this thing can't do without a smooth cement road!

Wooden tires get stuck in some quagmire every minute, and humans are not horses that are tired and half dead when they don't have enough strength to push, let alone ride. Therefore, King Pullen had no choice but to cancel the plan to form a "mobile force" in advance, and turned to study other things.

..............................

By the time of September of the 1st year of Puren.

At night, the streets of Pullen are already full of red lanterns, which shine red from house to house.

The children also held a small lantern in their hands, and happily played with the adults in the newly opened night scenic area in Pullen. This is a busy area of Intramuros Park with lots of interesting toys and new buildings.

Construction of Intramuros Park began in March of the 1st year of Pulen, and it took six months to complete the park on and off. Covering an area of about 500 square meters, it has a play area - mainly seesaws, wooden carriages, slides, sandbag fields, baseball fields and football fields.

Children naturally focus on what children like, while adults are more interested in so-called baseball and football.

Baseball is the simplest sport prop, and it is also an entertainment program that can be made by King Pullen with his eyes closed. The same football is different, compared to the previous said that there are no rubber trees in the royal city of Pullen, and it is impossible for cowhide to be wasted on it, and the resources are more tight.

So the football field in Intramuros Park is not European football, nor is it a Chinese Keju but American football...... That's right, it's the sport that ramps around with a rugby ball and is full of violent beauty. It is said to be the most popular sport in the city of Pleen at the moment, and it is loved by the male group.

In contrast, the girls' sports activities are much more elegant, mainly based on kicking rolls and jumping squares. If they really have some leisure, they can take some time to buy some paper and pens at the printing paper factory in the royal city of Pullen, and learn to draw or something. Anyway, the royal city of Pulen has always been extremely favorable to the people inside......

But at this point, you should find out too, right?

That's right, the Pulon King City has finally conquered the paper-making process, so that the Pulon King can continue to add points to the Pulon King City in terms of technological civilization. Previously, due to the lack of corresponding materials and reference books, most of the "Times Library" was full of historical and military materials, and there was little information about this kind of scientific and technological production. But fortunately, after more than a year of exploration, King Pullen finally conquered the paper-making technology and brought the paper technology to the British Isles 700 years ahead of schedule.

Therefore, it was only natural that a new department was established in the royal city of Puren. The Learning and Development Department of Science and Technology in Pulun Wangcheng, abbreviated as the Ministry of Education, is abbreviated as LCL.

As the first department of civilization learning in the royal city of Pleun, LCL is naturally very valued. King Pullen directly appointed his most trusted Moon Knight as the direct head of the LCL.

After receiving the order, the knight under the moon began to quietly search for literate figures among the people to serve as the first teachers, and the textbook is currently being compiled by King Pullen. (ABCDEFG~HIJKLMN~OPQ~RST~UVWXYZ~XYZ~OUC~)。 Because it is the easiest basic course, the first thing to do is to reduce the illiteracy in the royal city of Pulen as much as possible!

But this is an extremely difficult task and one that takes a particularly long time. Referring to the Kingdom of Heaven more than 1,000 years later, it took more than 50 years for the whole country to devote all its efforts to the free compulsory education system, which reduced the illiteracy rate to less than 15 percent......

Although the population base of the Pulun King City is currently small and the difficulty is reduced, the cultural foundation of the Pulun King City is basically zero! If you want to give an example to explain the idiom, there is no place to say it, and there is no way for the Pulun King to directly copy our own Chinese textbooks for the first ~ sixth grades of primary school.

In addition to the paper process being conquered, the ceramic process was also naturally broken, and in addition to the glass and other product processes also fell into the hands of the King of Pullen of the Fierce Technology Tree one by one.

Then, as one of its masterpieces to overcome several scientific and technological difficulties, the single-pass telescope was born! After all, the technical content of this thing is very low, as long as you break through the difficulty of making glass technology, you can get this side product.

At present, the glass and ceramics produced in the royal city of Pullen are considered special products, and the products are shipped to various cities in the British Isles through the WTO department (Ministry of Commerce) for sale.

Because the mass production is low, but the delicate and beautiful, especially the ceramic products with gorgeous patterns, are the most popular among the aristocracy!

Therefore, the WTO Department rushed at the speed of a rocket to the city of Pulen in second place, and its spearhead was directed at the uncrowned king GWB (Armed Logistics Department).

It is said that it has not been a day or two since these two departments did not like each other, and at the beginning of the establishment of the WTO, the royal city of Pulun had almost no financial resources to speak of, and the businessmen who joined this department naturally had no status to talk about. And it was at this time that the GWB department, which was in full swing at that time, did not hesitate to ridicule the personnel of the WTO Department for eating public food and not doing anything (beep-), and as a result, the two departments became enemies......

At present, the third place is TPC (Ministry of Population and Resources), TPC should be the second, but in recent times, the momentum of the WTO rush has not stopped, directly squeezing TPC from the position of the second largest department, so that in recent days, everyone in the TPC department has a black face, a look at no one pleasing to the eye.

In fourth place is the CIA, in fifth place is the PLA, and at the bottom is naturally the newly formed LCL department (Ministry of Education).

In fact, it should be seen from the above ranking that the Pulen Royal City is still paying more attention to the development of this part, and only seeks to have the power of self-preservation in military affairs.

However, as time passed, the internal organs of the Pulen royal city gradually became complete, the bones were abundant, and the muscles gradually grew. King Puren's thirst for military power grew, and finally in October of the 1st year of King Puron.

The city of Puron has been fully expanded for the third time!

First of all, let's count the existing military forces and deployments of the royal city of Puren.

First of all, it was subordinate to the PLA Zhenguo Army, which was subordinate to a hoplite regiment of 2,500 people, two heavy Changjian brigades of 1,000 people, a siege squadron of 260 people, two long-range squadrons of 520 people, and a cavalry squad of 100 rangers.

This is the only formed mixed army in the city of Pulun, with a total of 4,380 men.

This was followed by the Praetorian Knights, which were subordinate to King Pullen, with a total of 125 men, the October Elite Knights accounted for 60 men, and the noble hoplites accounted for 65 men.

Then there are the hundred Joan of Arc guards belonging to the Knights of the Holy Songs, for a total of one hundred.

That is to say, there were more than 4,000 field troops in the city of Pulun, and the Praetorian Guard was only more than 200 people.

King Pullen planned to split the field forces into two main combat corps, three professional auxiliary corps and ten reserve corps. The two main combat legions were established as the Glory Corps of Puren, with hoplites as the main members. The other is the Rose of Puren, with light cavalry as the main member.

The professional auxiliary corps is mainly set up by long-term and ranged troops, and the reserve corps adopts a militia system, and all adult males in the whole royal city must participate in militarized training in batches, just in case. To put it simply, it is the Tibetan soldiers and the people.

The main combat corps has five ranks: corps commander, deputy corps commander, commander of a thousand troops, centurion, and team leader. The number of legions is set at 800~3,500 people. The mobile corps is set at 500~2,000 people.

Clan levels are divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D.

S-class - Zhenguo-level Praetorian Guard.

Class A - Ace level field army.

Class B - Elite field army.

Class C - Ordinary Field Army.

Class D - Reserve Corps.

Except for the original

The Glory Corps of Pullen is an elite B-class field army, mainly composed of veterans of the war, formerly members of the SS. The total number of 2,500 men has not yet been assigned to the auxiliary forces.

The Pleon Rose Legion is a C-level ordinary field army, the main members are the first generation of immigrants who joined the Pulon Royal City in the early days, and the main troops are cavalry, but they cannot be called elite knights. Moreover, the cavalry is mainly lightly armed, with long-range attacks and close combat supplements.

As mentioned before, the city of Pulun spent nearly a year collecting more than six hundred war horses through various means, leaving more than one hundred war horses, and the remaining five hundred, plus the previous hundred, formed a mobile army composed of six hundred light cavalry.

In order to increase the lethality of this army and make up for the lack of melee combat, Char not only equipped each of them with a Fire Phoenix Repeater, but also matched each of them with a Sun Bow. Shoot with a crossbow within a hundred meters, and destroy with a bow and arrow at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters. When the enemy pursues him, he turns around and runs, and then introduces the range of the crossbow to slowly slaughter him.

However, at the cost of equipping two weapons at the same time, the Javelin, which was originally one of the standard equipment, was forced off the shelves. Free up the extra open space to equip a bow and a quiver. But it doesn't matter! With a bow and crossbow and this light cavalry, the power of this light cavalry is definitely far beyond everyone's imagination, and the kite hanging method will definitely make the enemy feel sour!

One of the three auxiliary regiments has two brigades of 1,000 men under its jurisdiction, one Changjian hoplite regiment has two brigades of 2,000 men, and one long-range unit auxiliary regiment has two brigades of 1,000 people. These auxiliary corps are all C-level ordinary field troops, but they can be upgraded to B-level through cumulative combat merits, and the B-level auxiliary corps will automatically become the main army.

..........................................

Finally, the PLA Department confirms the final list of combat units.

Main forces:

Pulen Glory Heavy Infantry Regiment - 2,500 members.

Rose of Plun Ranger - 600 members.

Special Forces:

Knights of the Praetorian Guard - 120 members.

Joan of Arc - 100 members.

Auxiliary Units:

Pulen Heavy Armament Changjian Regiment - 2,000 members, under the jurisdiction of four brigades, eight squadrons.

Pullen Light Long-Range Regiment - 1,000 members, under the jurisdiction of one brigade, two squadrons.

Pulen Armed Engineer Corps - 1,000 members, under the command of a brigade, two squadrons.

Reserve Forces:

The 1st, 2nd ~ 10th units of the Pullen Reserve - 10,000 members.
