Chapter Eighty-Seven: Baron Sol in Crisis

After walking around the club, Ye Tianlong found that there were indeed a lot of people who came here to play, and many of them had a good time.

However, he is not sure for the time being whether these guys are really fun or caused by a momentary novelty, and he needs to observe for a while, and he believes that after a few days, he will be able to see the results. At that time, it was estimated that all the people who came to play because of the freshness of the moment were gone.

In addition, Ye Tianlong also showed his face in front of these local magnates today, so that these magnates got to know him, and expanded Ye Tianlong's contacts very well.

After spending the morning at the club, Ye Tianlong hastily ate lunch and then went to the warehouse he had rented in the city, beckoning his team members to start transporting the large amount of grain that had been transported not long ago to the Riding and Chopping World.

And in the process of Ye Tianlong and their carrying of food, they suddenly heard bursts of exclamations in the camp, Ye Tianlong went out to check curiously, and found that it was Liu Shiyu, the vice principal of the primary school, who had just fainted when he was teaching the children.

Ye Tianlong rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the news, and found that Liu Shiyu had indeed passed out, his face was as pale as paper, and there was no trace of blood.

What's even more terrifying is that after Ye Tianlong leaned over to check it, he found that the other party was no longer breathing, and his heartbeat was extremely weak, and it seemed that he would die completely at any time.

Fortunately, at this time, his master Li Rufeng also arrived, and injected a wave of innate true qi for him on the spot, which finally temporarily saved Liu Shiyu's life and allowed him to regain his breathing.

However, after Li Rufeng conducted a comprehensive examination of Liu Shiyu's body, she found that her vitality had reached the point of running out of oil, and if she didn't treat it as soon as possible, even if she kept using her innate true qi to hang the other party, it would only be able to keep her alive for a day or two at most.

Li Rufeng speculated that the reason why Liu Shiyu's condition deteriorated so quickly may be because he took too much trouble preparing and attending classes for the children in the camp. So she was supposed to live for a month, but in less than a week, she ran out of oil and ran out.

In this case, although Li Rufeng is not completely sure, he can only be treated as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

So Ye Tianlong and the others carried Liu Shiyu into Li Rufeng's tent, and then dispersed the irrelevant people around him, so that Li Rufeng could concentrate on treating Liu Shiyu.

As an apprentice, Ye Tianlong personally guarded the door with a knife, eliminating the possibility of someone coming to disturb his master.

In this way, an afternoon passed, and when the time reached more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Rufeng finally opened the curtain door with a tired face.

Ye Tianlong turned his head to look and found that although his master's face was tired, he was full of joy, and he knew that Liu Shiyu should have been successfully rescued.

He entered the tent to check it out, and found that Liu Shiyu's breathing was indeed much calmer, his heartbeat became stronger and stronger, and there was a faint blood on his face.

According to his master Li Rufeng, at most tomorrow morning, Liu Shiyu will wake up, but although the other party was pulled back from the ghost gate, her body is actually still very weak, and she must cultivate well to recover.

Ye Tianlong also understood this, after all, as the old saying goes, this illness is like a mountain, and the disease is like a thread, Liu Shiyu's body can be tossed by the disease before, how can it recover if it is not made up for it!

In the following period, Ye Tianlong's territory ushered in a period of stable development. The foundation of the city he planned to build before has been laid, and now it is now officially starting to build houses, as for the city wall, because the amount of work is really too large, and there is heavy artillery as a defensive weapon, Ye Tianlong feels that it is okay not to build it for the time being. In fact, he felt that after firearms began to spread a little bit on this continent, the city wall would become a chicken rib, after all, no matter how strong the city wall was, it would not be able to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery after all.

In addition, the number of troops under his command has also expanded to as many as six hundred and fifty people during this time, and the armor and everything have been replenished in place, such as the personal guards under his command, and now they have achieved the achievement of triple armor, the outermost layer is a layer of iron floating heavy armor, and the middle is a layer of thick cotton armor, which can well weaken the damage of blunt weapon attacks, and the innermost is a very fine mesh chain mail, which can be worn as a close-fitting inner armor.

As for the other ordinary soldiers, they all have two layers of armor, one layer of iron armor and one layer of cotton armor.

Half of these soldiers are ranged and half are melee soldiers, and those ranged troops are mainly trained to use flintlock rifles at first, and they will also train how to use bows and crossbows in their free time. After all, the rate of fire of the bow is much faster than that of its flintlock rifle, and the damage of the bow is even higher than that of the flintlock rifle in the later stage. Therefore, it is a very suitable choice for him to become an archer.

The other half of the melee arms belonged to pikemen at the beginning, with the main weapon being a phalanx spear more than five meters long, and the secondary weapon being a single knife and a steel shield. When these soldiers are leveled up, they will gradually be divided into elite infantry and cavalry according to the direction of their bonus points. If you want to become an elite infantryman, in addition to iron bones and strong attack skills, you also need to add points such as weapon mastery and running skills. If you want to become a cavalryman, you need to add some riding skills and riding archery skills. In addition, most of the time, these melee units have to serve as artillerymen, mainly because the number of soldiers under Ye Tianlong's command is not large enough to have the luxury of forming an artillery unit.

It is worth mentioning that among the soldiers under Ye Tianlong's command, more than 50 people are composed of team members he summoned from reality, and in order to distinguish them from the indigenous soldiers who ride and slash the world, these people generally call themselves players.

Because the team members were carefully selected before summoning them this week, although most of those players were newly recruited third batch of team members, they had good combat effectiveness as soon as they came, and some of them were like Luo Chenguang, the veteran king, with a good kung fu foundation, and their combat effectiveness was not inferior to those indigenous elite soldiers in the riding and slashing world.

Ye Tianlong, who felt that he was also a strong soldier, was finally ready to send troops to mix military merits. When the more belligerent players heard the news, they were even more excited, clamoring to be the vanguard of the army.

Seeing that these guys were so active, Ye Tianlong also agreed to their request, letting Luo Chenguang be the vanguard general and lead a hundred soldiers as the vanguard of the army, and most of them were those belligerent players.

He himself led the main army of 400 men, and the last 100 remained in the camp to look after the family.

Compared with other aristocratic troops in the Nord Kingdom, the biggest difference between Ye Tianlong's army is that there are more livestock such as horses and cattle and mules. And those accompanying supplies such as artillery and food were naturally dragged by strong pack horses and oxen.

For example, among Ye Tianlong's army of more than 500 people, there are more than 100 pack horses alone, more than 200 mules, and more than 50 cattle. With so many livestock with the army, the consumption of this grain and grass is naturally very high, after all, the cattle and horses have to do all the crying and tiring work, and they naturally have to feed them in normal times! And the average noble lord can't support this kind of consumption, and this food is not enough for the soldiers to eat! Where can we give a large portion to these animals!

Only a lord like Ye Tianlong, who is not bad for money, can support this huge consumption of grain and grass.

In this way, although the consumption of grain and grass has increased dramatically, the speed of this rush has also increased all of a sudden, Ye Tianlong has been inquiring all the way, and it only took about five days to catch up with the large army led by King Ragnar of Nord.

But before he could rush to see His Majesty, he heard that his titular boss, the Baron Thor, was now surrounded by enemy troops and was in danger.

After relying on heavy bribes and asking people carefully, Ye Tianlong finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that only three days earlier, the king of Ragnar had heard that the defenders of Narud Fort were almost exhausted of dead and wounded, and that his side was unable to defeat the main army of the enemy that stood in his way.

Therefore, in order to rescue Fort Rud, he decided to lead a large army to stay here to contain the main force of the enemy, and at the same time sent an elite force to spare the large army of the enemy to reinforce Fort Ruud.

And Saul, a war maniac who was bent on gaining a lot of military merit in this great war, immediately took the initiative to ask for help after hearing about King Ragnar's decision.

The other noble lords also felt that the soldiers brought by Baron Thor this time were very well-equipped and worthy of a great task.

So with almost unanimous vote, King Ragnar simply sent Baron Saul and two other noble lords to form an elite force of more than 500 people to prepare to reinforce Rudburg.

Because Baron Saul has more troops under his command and he is very favored by King Ragnar, although he has the lowest rank in this small aristocratic coalition, he is the commander of the army, and the other two viscounts are equivalent to lieutenant generals.

Soon after the group set out, the two viscounts suddenly used various excuses to delay the march, much to Baron Saul's dissatisfaction, after all, Rudburg was now in danger and could fall at any time under the onslaught of the enemy.

After urging several times to no avail, Baron Thor could only speed up the journey with his own soldiers, wanting to rush to the rescue before the fall of Fort Ruud.

However, just yesterday, Baron Thor's forces were blocked by an army from the Kingdom of Swadia in the middle of the road.

This enemy army not only appeared by coincidence, but also in large numbers, with thousands of troops. And in order to wait for work, he immediately surrounded Baron Saul's troops and launched a fierce siege.

And the strange thing is that seeing that Baron Thor's troops were besieged by the enemy, the other two viscounts of the Nord Kingdom directly stood still, and camped dozens of miles away from the battlefield to watch, as if they were not afraid that the enemy army would attack them after eating the troops under Baron Thor's command.
