For the ridiculous behavior of the fat man standing at the head of the city to pee, Caesar Sauron, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes noncommittally, and the fat man had gone crazy Caesar Solon for this time had already seen it.
In the past half a month, the Satmer Fortress has been tossed miserably by the fat man who is afraid of death.
Build the wall, thicken, dig tunnels, in order not to be attacked by the Kujiit people again, the fat man who is afraid of death not only arranged three earthen ditches in front of the city wall that are one meter wide and two meters deep, and erected tall triangular wooden tips in front of each pit to prevent the approach of siege equipment.
He also set up a dozen cauldrons at the battlements of the widened city wall, which were filled with a large amount of black crude oil that the fat man had specially asked Crollissat to transport from the mountains in his falcon territory, which could be poured into the deep pit under the city wall at any time to build three fire wall belts
The city gate walkway was re-strengthened with a large hard bluestone strip, and the fist-sized spear piercing holes were rearranged on both sides of the thirteen-meter-long city gate walkway, making an ordinary section of the city gate walkway murderous
These are nothing, the fat man is still piling up three sides of the city wall behind the city gate walkway, a notched city wall more than 20 meters long, and the main city wall of the castle is connected with wooden planks, even if the enemy breaks through the first city gate, he will be blocked by this notched city wall, and fall into a desperate situation with spears on his side and arrows on his head,
In the end, even if the notch is breached, as long as the planks connecting with the walls on both sides are removed, the enemy can only stand on the notch and stare dryly.
The original narrow passage of the city wall for only one person has also been greatly widened, and it can even pass two war horses side by side at the same time, and cavalry troops can be organized to rush to the city wall at any time to support
The rest of the people were chilled by these never-before-seen defensive measures, and secretly rejoiced that they were not the enemy who needed to attack the fortress, otherwise a thousand-strong team would have thrown themselves into it and would have disappeared without even a bubble
Arrows, shields, weapons and other large quantities of defensive resources were continuously transported from the Falcon Territory to the Samori Fortress, and the transport carriages between the Falcon Territory and the fortress were endless every day.
"What is this?"
Caesar Sauron was stunned as he looked at the strange weapon in the hands of the guards, this one-meter-long wooden-handled bow and arrow launcher was a new weapon that had just been brought from the Falcon Territory, a strange longbow with a long wooden handle that the fat man called a "pedal crossbow",
It is said that the fat man asked the craftsmen in the territory to build it according to the drawings before he set off from the Falcon Territory.
"This is a good thing! If the Kugit come to us again in Samori, I will greet them with this good greeting, and let them know that their proud Kugit strong bow is not bullshit in front of the fat man."
The fat man patted Caesar Zoro on the shoulder with a smug face,
The fat man in his previous life was a shooting enthusiast, from light bows and crossbows to all kinds of weapons, it was a little difficult for the fat man to make a gun, but the general bow and crossbow were still very easy,
The more complicated part of the bow and crossbow is the mechanism for buttoning the hair, which has long been figured out by the fat man, thinking that he can meet the Kugit rangers who are good at archery,
Before setting off, the fat man deliberately allocated 10,000 gold coins to build 2,000 heavy infantry special foot crossbows, and now it finally came in handy
"Whoosh" a short-feathered crossbow arrow nailed to the cavalry chain mail on the wooden stake 200 steps away, the strong penetrating power is as light as tearing a piece of tissue paper, and it is nailed into the wooden stake about an inch.
Caesar Sauron saw that a soldier with a little training could hold this waist-high pedal crossbow and shoot through the cavalry light chain mail 200 paces away, his face turned slightly blue, and the strong bow of the Kugit could only reach a distance of 150 paces, and this thing could shoot at least 250 paces
As a knight-born soldier, Caesar Sauron had to think that if this kind of lethal weapon was used on a large scale, the ultra-long-range strike ability that swept through a qiē could easily wipe out the charging knights.
The tragic sight of being shot into a hornet's nest stimulated Caesar Zoro's nerves, and seemed to remind him of the scene when he led his subordinates to be surrounded and annihilated by the Kujits, and a cold sweat broke out on his back
Caesar Sauron, who was born as an orthodox knight, was resolutely opposed to this extremely lethal weapon, believing that it violated the rules of knighthood and was a "weapon of the devil"
But they were all blocked back by the fat man with "Of course you have to use devilish means to deal with the devil".
In return for the fat man's own out-of-pocket reorganization of the Southern Legion, the hunter leader Krosette has been officially appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs as the head of the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Southern Legion, Statunko serves as the flag leader of the Sixth Banner Regiment, and the middle-aged strange knight Caesar Zoro has been appointed as the captain of the guard directly under the Southern Legion.
After more than three months of all-out preparations, under the feeding of millions of treasures buried by the Kujits and the millions of stone defense grains paid by the southern nobles, the fat man's southern army has 6,000 combat personnel and nearly 3,000 engineer logistics personnel, and the fat man's army is about to break through the 10,000 people mark and become an important military force that dominates the south and rules the three counties
What the complacent fat man wants to do most now is to let the Kugit and those big nobles in the north continue to entangle, and buy time for himself to digest the land of the two counties, preferably to delay until this year's autumn harvest.
With enough food security, the relocated refugees can settle down in the two counties, and when the time comes, even if the kingdom wants to drive itself away, it can only stare dryly.
Otherwise, as soon as he collects the grain himself, he pats his ass and leaves, and the kingdom will have to pay for these tens of thousands of refugees out of his own pocket, which is simply impossible for the hard-hit kingdom's finances.
The busy March is followed by the coolness of April
But for the fat man who defends Samori, it's really "hot" here.
The figure of the Kugit Rangers, who had been extinct for two months, appeared faintly on the opposite side of the Domest of Samoriel, and even touched the moat of Samoel a few times.
That arrogant and domineering, nobody-in-sight look is more of a demonstration than a reconnaissance
If it weren't for the fat man's strict prohibition of using bows and crossbows at will, the soldiers on the defence would have shot these bold scouts off their horses, and seeing that there was no movement in the fortress of Samori, the movement of the Kugit was getting louder and louder.
Yesterday the outpost at the front reported that a group of about 5,000 Kugit light cavalry troops had marched into the town of Hitteru opposite Samoor, and were stationing there, and were eyeing the fortress of Samoor, which was on the opposite side, and was in danger of breaking the fortress again.
In the early hours of the morning, the cold stars hung high, the pale moonlight had not disappeared, and the roaring bonfire lit the hall of Samori red
The fat man, who was supposed to be still dreaming in bed, sat in the hall of the Sathoma fortress, and the twitching of the corners of his eyes showed that the fat man was now extremely unhappy, and he was depressed and had the urge to cut people
In the middle of the night last night, because he did not know the sleeping habits of the fat man, Crollissat, who was on duty at the city wall, urgently ran into the fat man's bedroom, and after being violently attacked by a humanoid violent bear, he reported with a miserable face that a group of 200 Kugit cavalry blatantly took advantage of the night and began to camp under the city of Samoor, and judging from the military flag erected in the camp, it may be the famous royal court guard of Kugit
"It's really a narrow road! This time I'm going to trouble the fat man again!"
The fat man habitually touched his belly with his hand, and his stomach made an unassuming "grunt" sound, and a sour taste rolled in his throat
"Damn, getting up in the middle of the night not only affects your mood, but also makes you feel hungry."
The fat man waved his hand to the three heavenly kings under his command and asked
"What do you think these Kugit people want to do?
"This time the Kugit are fierce, I think no matter what they want to do, we just need to strengthen the defense of the castle! As long as we seize the opportunity, we can easily kill all the 200 Kugit outside the city."
Statunko is still the lewd stream who likes to engage in defensive counterattacks, this guy did not participate in the mountain road annihilation battle because he was escorting supplies in the rear, because one of his legs was shot lame by the Kujits, and he was inevitably afraid of the Kujit strong bow.
Crorysette had a bandage on her face, her head bowed in a depressed spirit, and she looked like a frosty eggplant, which was worth the whole night, coupled with the violent attack of an unscrupulous person, Crorysette was still not completely awake, her head was confused and wanted to sleep, her eyes blinked pitifully at the fat man a few times, and she didn't say anything
When the fat man saw Crorysart's appearance, he ignored it directly
In the end, everyone looked at Caesar Solon, the captain of the guard,
"The devil knows what these Kugit people want to do! I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of the Kujits! But if I can't say something, won't I make these boys look down on themselves?"
The captain of the guard, Caesar Sauron, looked at his third brother in the hall with his eyes staring blankly, and had to put on a confident appearance and start talking nonsense that he was good at
"The Kujit people are unknown this time, first they sent a large number of scouts to conduct close reconnaissance on us, and then a main army entered the town of Hitterlu, opposite us, and now they have directly sent people to our city, which shows that the Kujit are very interesting to us!"
"Interesting? I also *** fell in love with the Kujiits!"
When the fat man heard Caesar Zoro say a lot of such sentences, he came to an "interesting" conclusion, and almost got up from his seat out of breath.
The long-eyed people could see that the Kugit people were not only very "interesting" to their Satamor fortress, but they were afraid that they would like to swallow it alive, and the saliva was more urgent than the river kicking outside the city
"My lord, it's not interesting, I mean it's very interesting to us!"
Caesar Sauron was still stubborn, the expression on his face was like that of a misunderstood resentful woman, and the fat man who spoke like tongue twisters was stunned
"What's interesting? Can you explain it clearly, we're all big bosses, you understand there?"
Seeing Caesar Sauron's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the twisted and tangled words made the fat man ask curiously
"It's just that they have ideas about us, they are interesting, or they want to make peace with us, or they want to negotiate with us!"
"Poof" The fat man almost didn't squirt out the acid water that had just been pressed down in his throat,
The fat man who has always regarded himself as lewd has opened his eyes today, it turns out that there is still a great god squatting here, and he finally knows what it means to be "not the most lewd, only more lewd"
Before the poor third brother had recovered from Caesar Soro's concussion, the guards outside the door had already hurried into the castle hall with a parchment letter, and knelt down on one knee to report to the fat man
"My lord, the Kujit people outside the city have sent three messengers to ask to see the commander of the Southern Legion!"
The fat man's eyes turned green when he looked at Caesar Sauron, could this be the Zhuge demon of this era?
Crolysatre and Statunko, who were sitting on either side, also had bulging eyes comparable to toads, and their mouths were wide open, looking like they had seen a ghost
