[419] The problem faced
Moreover, compared with the previous mercenary group base, when the territory is captured and the mercenary group base is moved in, the number of buildings that can be built will increase accordingly, and the most important building is the engineering workshop!
This building can be said to be a must for a mercenary group with a territory, not only to ensure the future siege of the city, but also to be able to better defend their territory, is a very important building!
And the trebuchet is naturally produced in this building!
With the increase in the level of the building in the engineering workshop, the war machinery produced will be greatly improved in terms of attack power and sturdiness, and it is no longer the kind of rag that will be scrapped after a few rounds of defense tower attacks!
Therefore, at this stage, the mercenary groups that already have territories are sparing no effort to build this engineering workshop!
The reason why he talked about this with Wang Man, Torre naturally had his own ideas, if he really wanted to attack this town, he must have siege war machinery, but since he couldn't pay a high price, he had to fight other people's ideas!
Torre's idea is to buy it through other mercenary groups that already own the territory of the village and have already built the engineering workshop building!
Although the price is certainly high, and even in the most rudimentary engineering workshop, the trebuchet produced is better than the system is sold.
Here, I have to say that the difference between capturing the village territory and capturing the town territory is that although the capture of a village territory looks very advantageous, as long as there are enough manpower and don't feel sorry for the price, it can generally be taken, because the village territory will not have a defense tower, nor will there be a city wall, and it is naturally easier to fight than to capture the town, and after the capture, you can also use the engineering workshop building to make money.
At first glance, it seems that the village territory is more cost-effective, but if you give up on conquering the town because of such benefits, it will be a waste of money.
Although the town territory is difficult to fight, once it is defeated, it can obtain much more than the poor and white village territory, not to mention anything else, the thirty-six defense towers in front of you alone are enough to make the people in the village territory crazy with jealousy.
If the construction of such 36 defense towers had been started slowly from the territory of the village, the investment would have been estimated to be more than 1.8 million gold coins......
And if you can take the town, you only need to pay a small amount of repair money to get these towers up and running again!
In addition to the defense towers, there are also city walls, and the same is true, if it is slowly developed from the village, the amount of money required is the same astronomical amount, and all these things, as long as the town can be captured, then all belong to the occupiers, which is much richer than a poor and white village territory......
Moreover, generally speaking, a small town is usually built on a relatively good geographical location, surrounded by rich resources and convenient transportation, otherwise, it is impossible to develop into a small town, as long as it is defeated, it means that all these things are occupiers!
With such benefits, the leaders of the mercenary group are naturally not fools, and they can all see it, so in fact, if the Soul Cultivator Legion has the ability to fight the town, they will definitely not go to the village.
One is a small town with a superior geographical location and rich resources, while the other is a poor and remote village, even if a lot of money is spent on development, I don't know if the road is prosperous or not.
Of course, if you want to fight a small town, it is not a simple matter, if you want siege equipment, you still have to use those pioneers who have established a village territory, buy war machinery from their hands, and then be able to take the town territory, this is a kind of relationship between the past and the future, if there is no village territory, naturally there is no way to talk about the town territory.
With Torre's explanation, Wang Man gradually became clear about the matter of attacking and occupying the territory.
"I've seen the defensive strength of this town!" Torre continued: "The number of demon armies stationed is about five thousand, and the layout of this town can accommodate three mercenary groups, so the defensive demons who appear at the back of the most demon, It's also three, if our three mercenary groups are united, it's not too difficult to share a little bit, but the problem is that the defense tower is really nerve-wracking, the mercenary group that used to fight this town's idea, their manpower loss in the hands of the demon army is only one-third, but the loss in the hands of the defense tower is two-thirds!"
"In other words, you have to find a way to solve the defense tower first!" Wang Man touched his chin and pondered, and then asked, "Just like you just said, find other mercenary groups with village territories to buy war equipment?"
"That's exactly what I said!" Torre smiled bitterly: "But the problem is, you can't buy it at all now! This thing is now completely priceless, and all those who have war machinery built by engineering workshops in their hands are all holding brooms in their hands, and they are not willing to sell them at all! This is of course to strengthen the defense of their territory, and another reason is that these guys are still counting on accumulating enough war machinery and then attacking the town's territory to expand their territory!"
"Then what should I do?" Ash glared at him, "I can't fight and I can't buy it, can't I buy it, won't this small town territory just look at it?"
"Don't worry!" Torre said: "I haven't finished my words yet, through normal trading channels, it is indeed impossible to buy now, so we can only find familiar people to buy it, and go through the back door!"
"Hmm, go through the back door?" Wang Man and the three of them paused.
"That's right!" Torre looked at Wang Man and said: "Actually, I called you here to see this town, just to let you make a move, I heard that Wang Man, you know the president of Xiaoyao Villa, so can you try it and buy war equipment from them, you must know that they are the first mercenary group to establish a territory in the Dragon Country, so the war equipment produced in their hands is likely to be the best at present!"
After listening to Torrey's words, Wang Mancai replied strangely and asked, "Where did you know that I knew that guy?"
Torrey was puzzled when he saw Wang Man's expression, and asked, "Could it be that you don't know each other?"
"Knowing is knowing" Wang Man coughed, caught up the amusement in his heart, and said: "The problem is, the kind of acquaintance I have with him is not the kind of friendship you think." ”
Torrey is not a fool to hear Wang Man say this, he also understands that Wang Man and President Xiaoyao may not be able to do anything, so he suddenly said with a sad face: "Then what should I do? I can't buy good siege equipment, this town really can't take it." ”
Wang Man thought for a moment and asked Torre, "Have you probably calculated how many men you can muster when attacking the town?"
"One thousand and five Zuogu!" Torre thought about it and said, "This is a person with regular combat power, if you send out the announcement of the mercenary group in three days, you should be able to make up more, count it as two thousand!" "It's about the same on my side!" Caesar said: "I also have to give notice in advance, and I can also send two thousand people on my side." ”
Wang Man nodded, so that the total number of people is only four thousand, if there is another three days of buffer time, Wang Man's side can also make up a little more people, it is estimated that one thousand is no problem, in this way, the total number of people is only five thousand Zuogu, and the number of guards in the town is basically the same.
At this point, people avoid the town's defenses, but they should be able to take the town, even if it is a little more difficult, they can grit their teeth and insist on taking it.
"Then let's do it!" Wang Man said: "According to what you said, try to get enough people in this period of time for three days, and I want to find a way to see if I can get siege equipment." ”
"Okay, that's it!" Torre nodded: "We will also find acquaintances to find ways to find siege equipment, naturally the more the better!"
After everything was discussed, Wang Man and the others took another turn in the town, and after roughly remembering the overall defensive strength of the town, they left.
However, what Wang Man didn't notice was that when they were walking around the town, there were always a few eyes in the town, following them, these eyes came from a few assassins, these assassins, even in the town, did not dare to open the face scarf on their faces, so that people could not see their faces at all, and after Wang Man and they left, the assassins made a strange eye contact, and soon dispersed and left.
Walking along the road, the scenery of the Red Leaf Canyon is very beautiful, this place is a refreshing picture, especially if you have seen the cold environment in the eyes of the undead, and then look at this side, you will even feel that you are not in the fairyland of the world.
In such an environment, Wang Man felt that his heart seemed to be much closer. The four of them chatted, and the last topic unconsciously brought about the fact that the town led her. "How are you going to get the siege equipment?" Ash asked, looking at Wang Man with her big beautiful eyes.
Wang Man smiled at her and said, "The items needed are always in short supply, I think, now that there are more mercenary groups with territories, there will always be people who take out these siege weapons and sell them, right? ”
Ash frowned and said, "But with that kind of estimate, the price paid by our side will be much higher!"
"I also know the Dao!" Wang Man smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, do you know the Dao?" My initial inclination was not to attack the territory!"
