Start North America 1400: nation building

Above the night.

Zhou Li'an's consciousness came to the sky.

The field of vision in front of the eyes seems to be covered with a halo, making everything under the night sky clearly visible.

This is much more powerful than the fill light technology for movie shooting.

In front of the city wall.

The heavy armored infantry continued to move forward, dragging the carriage filled with black powder with human power.

Horses are precious, so of course they cannot be wasted in the city.

Also because they are getting closer, the defenders on the city can see clearly...

That person is not like a shadow.

The existence of steel armor is beyond their conscious awareness.

The city-state alliance already had a relatively simple bronze smelting process to create jewelry, or daggers, swords, and masks worn by nobles.

The presence of weapons is more of an accessory purpose.

The toughness is far less than that of stone tools.

It is in a stage of development from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

Therefore, they dare not even think about melting armor with gold and stone.

And the heavily armored infantry in front of him is like the death guard in myths and legends. It should only exist in stories, but it has come to reality.

However, the wooden shields they held high told the Tadong sergeant that these people were also afraid of arrows.

They can't fly and escape, they have to walk on one pair of legs.

They can't go up the wall!
The strength of a high wall cannot be broken by manpower!

"Whatever they do, kill them!"

"Shoot arrows!!"

There was a burst of shouting, and the arrows poured down like a waterfall, baptizing the army of judgment below the city.

The army of judgment has already experienced hundreds of battles.

"Raise your shield!"

The wooden board at the front was lifted by 10 people, and the pawns pulling the cart behind did not stop, but raised an iron arm to cover the hollow grid of the visor.

Except for the windows and breathing holes of the visor, the whole set of armor has almost no weaknesses.

Even the joints such as armpits and leg sockets are perfectly stitched.

Perhaps these places are made of lighter materials, but don't forget that there is also a set of chain armor under the armor.

Breaking defenses with stone tools is just a joke, causing blunt trauma at best.

The rain of arrows fell with great momentum.

But in the next second.

The people on the city wall were stunned.

I saw the arrows falling like a waterfall, hitting the body of the army of judgment, making a dense sound of ding ding bang bang, followed by weakly ejected to the side.

No one in the entire array fell down.

"how can that be?!"

"They are immortal..."

"The power of the gods is on them, and we can't hurt them at all!"

Another city general called——

"catapult!"

"Smash them to death!"

Several people worked together to push down the boulder prepared on the city.

The huge rock smashed on the wooden shield. The powerful force did not break the wooden board, but the pawn holding the shield was stunned and fell straight down.

Blood flowed from the gaps in the armor.

"Hahaha!!"

"They are not immortal, smash them to death, quick, keep throwing stones!"

A huge boulder was thrown down, quickly turning the situation around.

The heavily armored infantry who had just arrived at the foot of the city fell in pieces.

This situation made the climbers and others on the high platform of the rear army shout angrily: "Whoever hurts my brother's siblings will be annihilated!"

"I will pay back with their blood!!"

However, this is just impotent rage.

In contrast, Bull Shit and Zhou Weiguo are relatively calm.

Although the two of them also frowned, this was all expected. If the enemy attacked the city at a low position and the enemy threw heavy objects at a high position, the attackers would definitely suffer damage.

This is unavoidable.

unless……

"If a catapult device can be created, so that gunpowder can be filled into the iron bullet, the damage of the siege can be reduced and the strike will be preemptive."

"However, we have never experienced such a siege battle, and the corresponding technology has not been upgraded!"

Niushi nodded: "Xiaohua had predicted this a long time ago, so I let us use this trial battle to accumulate experience, so that we can advance the advancement of military law and create new weapons."

"But what you pay now is a lesson in blood!"

at the same time.

Zhou Li'an also thought about it.

[Academic Center] There is no relevant knowledge of military law, at least "junior" not yet.

Although he can sort out the military knowledge of this world and pass it on to everyone, the current balance and development are changing with each passing day.

Black powder is not considered an excessive product.

Guns and ammunition must be an important research and development project in the next step.

Extended with black powder, it is nothing more than first-class flintlock guns and matchlock guns, so it is on par with world technology.

But Zhou Li'an wanted to be crushed.

The ready-made law knowledge is in front of you, why use the technology that is destined to be eliminated?

Then it took time and effort to train "line infantry", and it didn't take long...the balanced black powder guns were eliminated.

You must know that Xiaohua took aim at nitrocellulose and nitrocellulose early on, and nitrocellulose is the foundation of modern ammunition.

A higher burning rate represents an increase in range and power.

Fewer impurities means the birth of automatic weapons and burst firearms.

The line infantry was still reloading, and even a heavy machine gun had already started firing from a long distance.

Justice is under range.

What else is necessary for training?
Even if you want to study military laws, it is the knowledge of modern military strategy for conquering cities and territories.

Moreover, the power of science and technology is fundamental.

In the face of absolute power, the rest are trails.

As for the present, if it were not for setbacks, Niushi and Zhou Weiguo would not have thought of upgrading their weapons and equipment.

After all, military skills and awareness still need to be cultivated through actual combat.

This battle has learned a lesson, and the next war against the city-states will definitely come up with countermeasures.

Tower Cave City is certainly not the consummation of the Judgment Levy.

Once the city-states stop their people from voting, the army of judgment will of course fight to protect the "brothers and sisters."

Zhou Li'an's previous divine decree was just to create a "famous teacher" character design for the balanced conquest.

at this time.

Several big leaders became anxious, and the crocodile said: "Do you want to withdraw the pawns first?"

Not waiting for everyone to discuss.

Bullshit hurriedly said: "No!"

"The boulders on the city are not endless and need to be consumed. If they are withdrawn and given time to replenish the stones, we will fall into a vicious circle."

"The black powder must be sent to the city, just ignite it and detonate it, that's when we will fight back and crush it."

Simple truth, one click.

Climbing the mountain and shouting: "We will fight for the balance of glory, not afraid of life and death!"

He shouted down the dais—

"Someone is willing to sacrifice their flesh and blood to our lord, the true god, to break the defense of the city wall!"

The nearby cavalry were already thundering, and they all responded——

"I wish!"

"My Lord has given joy to me and my kindred, how can I back away from it!"

"It is the highest honor to offer a balanced sacrifice to our Lord!"

On the high platform, the crocodile is also excited——

"I want to lead the team myself!"

Everyone still wanted to fight for it, but he quickly jumped down and shouted for the cavalry to form a team.

The army of judgment is united from top to bottom.

Even though there were heavy casualties in that city, no one was afraid, instead, anger was born, making the fighting spirit burn!
Before the crocodile set off, Niu Shi moved his eyes again and quickly followed.

Everyone was shocked.

Although everyone should contribute to the balance, the army of judgment needs bullshit to lead the army.

"what are you going to do?"

Climbing the mountain to chase after him, I was worried about my son after all, "In front of me, you can't help but fight for the glory."

"I will go there myself! The army of judgment still needs you to lead it!"

Many leaders scolded: "The crocodile has already taken the lead, how can we let him show off alone? I will go if I want to go!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Niu Shi felt warmed up, and then explained: "The courage of the pawns is not enough!"

"I want to lead a team of horses to ride and shoot in the distance!"

"My strong bow has a longer range, so why not fight back? It can not only shoot the enemy, but also buy time for the infantry in the city to place gunpowder!"

"If anyone pokes their heads out, they should all be shot!"

After the words fell, everyone suddenly realized.

"Then go together!"

"How can I bear to hurt my brothers and sisters!"

After climbing the mountain and listening to it, I felt relieved.

As long as you are not in the Stonehenge below the city, even if you are shot by the enemy's arrows, you will not be hurt at all.

"Send 1000 cavalry archers to cover the heavy armored infantry!"

Soon, the iron cavalry assembled, and the attack was led by bullshit and fighting crocodile.

Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to stay, only envious.

His riding skills are fair, but his riding and archery is far inferior to that of an iron cavalry sergeant.

But the military law of bullshit has been tempered for many years, and it is among the best in the army.

Thousands of horses rushed to attack.

The people in the city were still laughing: "They rode fierce beasts to attack, and when they came to the city, they were nothing more than meat paste under the boulder."

But when the cavalry stopped in the distance, someone finally noticed something was wrong.

"No, they are going to fight back with arrows!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Arrows rained down densely.

There were miserable howls, and their previous smiles no longer existed.

The heavy armored infantry under the city saw the cover coming, and the fighting spirit was rekindled——

"Quick, set up the gunpowder barrel, just complete the installation, and I can evacuate!"

"When the city gate is broken, then enter the city and avenge my brothers and sisters!"

Barrels of gunpowder were placed under the city gate.

The sergeant, who had been trained before, entangled the fuses of the powder kegs to complete the merger.

Although boulders are still falling, the frequency has decreased a lot.

Another infantry who could speak Utah Aztec, heard the shouts from the city, and laughed——

"Their boulders are exhausted!"

"We are about to send troops to supply!"

"Quick, this is my chance!"

on the city.

More than half of the hundreds of sergeants were killed or injured.

The city wall is only a square inch, and the soldiers stand densely. When thousands of people under the city shoot at one place, the lethality caused is the most terrifying.

The wounded were transported away with howls, and new recruits bravely filled in.

"Hurry up and transport the rocks, the most indispensable thing in my Tadong City is the rocks!"

At this time, several people behaved strangely.

They were not injured, but took advantage of the chaos to grab blood from the dead and smeared it on their bodies.

After everything was done, one of them said, "Kema, how are you doing? Do you want to do it?"

"Now is the best opportunity! You can go to the city gate sling to open the city gate!"

Kema was trembling all over, his blood was boiling hot: "You really want to be with me? If you fail, the army of gods will not enter the city, and we will be killed."

"I've had enough of the ugly faces of the garrisons of these countries! Not only do they bully us and the people in the city, but even us sergeants, they deprive us of our due food and servants!"

"Didn't you say that everyone in the hill city will be happy? Moreover, we have already confirmed that, as your brother said, the families of those noble lords in the city have long since disappeared!"

"And when I came tonight, I saw those nobles anxiously packing their bags in front of the mansion halfway up the mountain, as if they were about to flee."

"We're all blinded!"

"Only the only true God in the world can save us from suffering!"

Seeing the firm expressions of the people, Kema finally nodded: "Go! Kill the city gate guards! Open the city gate!"

Several people smeared blood and went down to the city pretending to be seriously injured.

But turn into a long corridor in the middle of the stairs.

Connected to the long corridor is the city gate guard, and a winch device for the city gate sling is placed in a room.

As soon as they reached the door, they encountered guards.

"What are you doing here..."

Without further ado, Kema raised his hand ax and struck at it, "Kill!"

A group of less than ten people fought with a group of city gate guards.

By surprise, they quickly grasped the city gate guard.

"Quick, turn the winch together!"

Let one person stand guard outside, and all the others push the wheel to guard together.

It can gather the strength of everyone, but it still remains motionless.

They are extremely anxious.

"Why can't it turn?"

"I don't know!"

"But what's the trick?"

Several people looked at each other, and suddenly someone realized the problem: "Turning the sling winch is useless, there is a lock at the city gate, if you don't remove the lock, the sling can't pull the city gate!"

As soon as the words came out, they panicked.

The city is full of sergeants, and it is impossible to break through with just a few people.

"Or, forget it?"

"The army of judgment will definitely be able to enter the city, we just need to wait!"

Kema was impatient, but if he didn't make a contribution, he was afraid that his brother would be judged.

He clenched his teeth and said: "You continue to turn the winch, and I will open the lock of the city gate."

"Kema, you're crazy!"

"No, I'm not crazy! Wait until you know about my brother. He committed crimes and punishments because he was forced by the evil lord!"

"I want to fight for his salvation!"

Before everyone came back to their senses, he had rushed out the door.

Kema came to the stairs and limped down with the wounded.

And when he got under the city wall, his eyes were filled with fiery fire.

Everyone was busy helping the wounded and moving stones, and the scene was chaotic; there was no one guarding the city gate.

He seized the opportunity, climbed over the fence inside the city gate to block it, hid in the darkness of night, and climbed under the city gate.

"Lock, where is the lock?"

He fumbled for a while, and finally found three solid wooden beams on the city gate.

The wooden beams were stuck in the stone grooves of the city walls on both sides, and they just happened to touch the raised wooden posts on the city gate, preventing the wooden gate from being pulled closed by the sling.

Kema made his discovery and began to remove the wooden beams.

The solid wood beams are very heavy, usually several people are required to work together, but now he is the only one.

His fingers clasped the wood firmly, and he pulled out the wooden beam with all his strength. Even though his nails were already opened, he endured the pain and grunted and exerted his strength.

Two wooden beams were taken out one after another, and he was almost out of strength, dizzy before his eyes.

And the sling turned again, allowing the city gate to try to open, but prevented him from trying to take out the wooden beam.

He had no choice but to continue to exert force, trying to pull the wooden beam out.

"Stop spinning, just wait, just wait!"

Not long after, the sling loosened and finally made the wooden beam loose again. He took out the wooden beam bit by bit, his hands were already bloody.

boom.

The last wooden beam landed dully.

Kema was so frightened that he scrambled to the ground and heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was paying attention outside the gate. He recovered his strength while waiting for the gate to open.

After a while.

The sling was tight, the city gate trembled, and finally slowly moved up little by little.

"Open, open!"

Kema whispered excitedly, clasped his hands under the door, and exerted strength together.

When the city gate reached the position for people to bend down and get out, he couldn't wait to squat down.

I thought I could get out, but I was blocked by wooden barrels in front of me.

He remembered what he had seen in the city.

This barrel was placed by the army of judgment.

But at this time, I can't control so much.

Kema pushed down the wooden barrel, and finally saw the gap, and also saw the heavy armored infantry not far away.

"An envoy of God, an envoy of God..."

"Quick, I opened the city gate! I opened the city gate!"

He calls.

Finally, they also attracted the attention of the heavily armored infantry. They were about to evacuate, but they saw a change in the city gate, and the sudden appearance of the figure——

"The city gate is open?"

"Who is that person?"

Kema continued to shout, "I'm here to meet you! Open the city gate, and you can enter the city!"

"True God... I believe in True God, I believe in True God!!"

The leader of the heavy armored infantry squad frowned, "What did he say?"

Someone said: "It seems to say that they opened the city gate to meet us!"

"He believes in the balance of the Lord!"

"Boss, what should I do?"

The leader of the infantry team was at a loss.

The black powder was arranged to break through the blockade of the city gate, but now the city gate opened by itself?
However, the city gate, which was only opened a little, suddenly stagnated, so that he did not dare to order rashly, and the gap was not enough to allow the army to enter the city.

"Tell him to come over and continue to evacuate!"

Someone yelled at Kema, "Come here, come here!"

However, when Kema pulled out the three wooden beams, he was already out of strength, his ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear the other party's words clearly, he just yelled to himself.

At this time again.

The movement of the city gate finally attracted the attention of the people inside the gate.

"The city gate is open!"

"There is someone outside the door!"

"The city gate guard is rebellious! Quick, go to the city gate guard to investigate! Close the city gate!"

"Don't let this traitor go, kill him!"

When a shout came from the doorway behind him, Kema finally woke up.

He looked back, with bitterness and helplessness on his face.

However, the will to survive prompted him to run instinctively, heading in the direction of the heavily armored infantry.

While running, while looking back.

Someone got out from the gap in the city gate, and they opened their mouths to curse hysterically.

Several more strong bows were raised.

The instinct of consciousness told him that he couldn't run away from the arrow that was about to gallop.

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in my heart.

He ran, uttering his last cry—

"My name is Kema!!!"

"I am a citizen of Balance!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Arrows kept falling around him.

Finally, puchi.

An arrow pierced his body.

The pain caused him to stagger and fall, but he tried his best to get up again, yearning for vitality and hope——

"My brother's name is Ahao, and his name is Ahao!"

"It's him...it's Ahao! It's Ahao who guides me, wants me to go to the true God, to the equilibrium!"

"I pray to the true God, I pray to the angel, please give my brother a merciful gaze!"

"Please ask Ahao..."

Puff puff.

Several arrows pierced his back almost at the same time.

thump--

He knelt down on the ground, but there was no pain in his expression, only the pious hope for prayer.

A pair of eyes stared into the distance, and they refused to close them until the moment they stopped breathing.

At this time, a few more arrows hit him, and he stopped moving, standing upright on his knees with a wonderful balance.

There was another strange noise from the city gate, which was about to close gradually.

"The rebellion is dead!"

"Quick, drill back, the city gate will be closed!!"

Shortly after.

Bang, the city gate fell to the ground.

The retreating heavy armored infantry were silent, with mixed emotions in their hearts; only the leader of the team said dullly: "What did he say?"

"He said his name was Kema."

"His brother's name is Ahao..."

"He wanted us to know that it was his elder brother, Ahao, who led him to the true god and to balance!"

"Therefore, he did not hesitate to risk his life to open the city gate for us."

After hearing this, the leader of the team couldn't help but startled, took a deep breath, and spit out again:

"He's a true warrior..."

"He is also our brother, brother!!!"

"His spirit will be guided by the balance of our Lord, and he will step into the gate of death!!"

"We shall remember their names—"

"Ahao, Kema!!"
