Empires Start with Lords - Chapter 21

There are catapults in all directions in the south, east, and northwest.

The catapult, which seemed to be towering into the clouds, stood there majestic and majestic at this moment.

The reason why Ross chose to build the catapult in the city was to make a better defense plan for the next step.

Next, Ross asked the peasants to tear down all the stone walls, and in an uproar, the stone walls of the entire city were torn down.

Ross ordered to expand the previous stone wall by 100 meters, rebuild a huge city wall several times higher, and carefully arranged a series of defensive measures.

Now the city walls of Ross are no longer simple fortifications, but extremely complex fighting machines.

On the basis of heightening and thickening the city wall, Ross also installed a slinging platform with ample area. Once the orcs attack the city, the soldiers standing on it can take turns to serve with stones.

Mission: Raise the fortifications to the Marquis city level.

Reward: Unlock Gunpowder.

Seeing the figures of the peasants busy carrying stones, Ross took another look at the task.

The so-called marquis city level refers to the city-level fortifications like Marquis Raisel.

Although Ross is far from being able to strengthen his military force in a short period of time and become a force madman like Marquis Raisel.

However, Ross, who has the blood of the infrastructure maniac flowing in his body, is confident to improve the fortifications to that level.

Ross arranged for three hundred soldiers to patrol the city wall.

There were five teams in total, and the city wall was large enough for three soldiers to walk side by side at the same time, and it was very spacious.

To build such a heavy and hard-to-break city wall cost Ross nearly 10,000 gold coins just for the materials.

While spending like this, Ross calculated how much money he had left.

Originally, there were only less than 2,000 points of military merit left. After spending this period of time, Ross had been building the city, and there was almost no war. Therefore, the military merit became less and less as the consumption continued.

Ross had to split the remaining military success in half, and use the half to build more fortifications.

Although the city wall has been upgraded to the level of the marquis territory, it still needs other matching facilities.

Ross glanced at it and saw that there were two ways to deal with siege equipment.

One is to build more walls to give the military more time to react.

However, Ross quickly rejected this method, because it was impossible to implement. Once a tough siege device is encountered, even if there are two layers of walls, it will only give you more time to escape.

Another way is to train more light knights, as many as the number of ordinary soldiers.

Ross thought about it for a while. Currently, increasing the number of catapults and light knights is the safest way.

A lightly equipped knight, a knight who is suitable for charging can wait for the opponent to break through the city gate and rush out to fight, destroying the opponent’s siege machine.

Ross thought, and ordered the military camp to step up the training of a group of soldiers, and then strengthen them.

Ross spent 1,000 gold coins before and after, and trained 200 light knights. This group of knights Ross plans to set up a special charge knights.

However, Ross also asked people to prepare stones as ammunition for the large catapults around the city gate.

Ross thought about it, clicked on the military merit, exchanged the remaining military merit for 20,000 gold coins, and used the money to buy fifteen marching carts and a batch of construction materials.

There are fifteen thousand gold coins left.

The marching cart is huge, can hold almost fifty soldiers, and the front end is covered with sharp, sharp-edged craftsmanship.

The lethality of this kind of marching cart is huge, and the key is whether the thrust is in place.

Ross plans to modify this cart to turn it into a lethal weapon that only his own people can use.

Ross glanced at it and said, “Send these carts to the door of the forge, and I’ll go and refit them myself.”

As soon as Ross finished speaking, he had some doubting eyes.

Ross ignored the doubts of these guys. It was just that these carts were too heavy, each of them weighed no less than two tons, and only twenty soldiers could carry them…

Finally, when they placed the fifteen marching vehicles at the door of the forge, Ross began to take a look.

It stands to reason that if this kind of cart drives into the enemy camp, it will only cause a large-scale destruction, and it will only disrupt the formation of the enemy once.

Ross thought about it, found a blacksmith and a carpenter from the forge, and asked, “Can you install a switch on the handlebar, so that people who know the switch can easily push it into the car, and those who don’t know it can get away with less effort.”

As soon as Ross said this, a group of people in the forging shop hurriedly wiped away their sweat.

“Lord Lord… We won’t.”

Finally, after a while, someone said honestly.

Ross sighed and didn’t ask the workers, just opened the system store.

“Army… Craftsman, yes.”

Ross took a look and found the craftsman he needed most among the many arms.

According to Ross’s conjecture, this kind of mechanism is feasible and can greatly improve the lethality of this weapon.

At this time, several options were placed in front of Ross.

Ordinary craftsman: fifty gold coins.

Junior Craftsman: One hundred gold coins.

Intermediate craftsman: 200 gold coins. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Senior Craftsman: Five hundred gold coins.

Ross glanced at the group of craftsmen behind him. Although they usually make enough things, these are the most common craftsmen who cannot make weapons at the level of marching carts.

Without saying a word, Ross directly bought ten junior craftsmen and two intermediate craftsmen, which cost Ross a full 1,400 gold coins.

Ross, who was not rich at all, was even poorer.

As long as the transformation is successful, Ross feels that the money he spent is worth it.

Ten junior craftsmen, wearing more professional protective clothing than ordinary craftsmen, came to Ross.

“Lord, what do you need us to do?”

Ross pointed to the fifteen marching carts at the door and said, “I want to make a mechanism on the handles of these marching carts, which can instantly reduce the resistance, and only our people can use it. Can it be done?”

Ross said with great interest.

“It’s a little difficult…”

The ten junior craftsmen gathered around the cart, using rulers and measuring thrust, obviously smarter than ordinary craftsmen.

However, the junior craftsmen were still not enough to complete this task, so Ross looked at the two intermediate craftsmen again.

They wear darker clothes than junior craftsmen, covered with rough craftsmanship, but more weathered.

Ross felt that this time there was a drama.

When Ross asked them, the two intermediate craftsmen pushed aside more rigorously, and then began to discuss a lot of professional knowledge.

After about half an hour, they found Ross and said, “Lord Lord, give us three days to transform a marching cart.”

Ross thought, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.
