King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 53 Good News and Bad News

"Lord Baron." Abdelkader greeted and walked over.

"What about the [-]st Infantry Regiment of Noxus with [-] more tauren?" Charles asked with a smile.

"It's really great. If I had these big guys when I was a robber, I would dare to rob the convoy of those noble lords." Abudkad said a witty thing, and then continued: "These tauren With rough skin and thick flesh, if you put on armor and pick up a spear, even the knights would not dare to rush up from the front."

Most of the knights in this world are heavy cavalry, and there are far fewer light cavalry.Heavy cavalry can be described as a nuclear weapon in the cold weapon era, but the lethality of heavy cavalry is not to kill the enemy, but to break the enemy's formation and make the enemy fearful.Once the enemy ran around in fear and the formation collapsed, they became a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, no, they were not even as good as a group of sheep.

But when the heavy cavalry meets the heavy armored infantry regiment, the outcome is uncertain. It depends on the quality of the soldiers on both sides. If the two sides are similar, if the heavy cavalry dares to directly charge the heavy armored infantry regiment, they will definitely not be able to escape. good.

As long as the heavy cavalry can't break through the formation, even if one life is exchanged for three lives, they will die at a loss.

It's a pity that armor is much more difficult to craft than weapons. In this world, except for knights and nobles, if commoners dare to hide armor, it is a dead end. Weapons such as hunting bows and spears are not controlled, but armor is strictly prohibited. of.

Of course, most serfs couldn't afford it, but they could try their luck on the battlefield. With so many serfs, there was always good luck.Moreover, serfs couldn't afford it, but merchants could still afford it. This ban was not only aimed at serfs, but also at merchants.

And the armor worn by Shire was saved by the Noxus family when they were rich.Now there is only one Winter Fortress left. There is neither a blacksmith who can make armor nor a suitable iron mine. The tauren are not equipped with weapons, let alone armor.

Shire looked to the north, but unfortunately the iron ore mines of the Hammer tribe were occupied by the Centaur Flying Claw tribe.

Shire looked towards the east again. Noxus once owned iron ore mines, but unfortunately, like the grain production areas, they all fell into the hands of the Silver Fox family.

Sooner or later he will get it back.

After inspecting the camp, Charles returned to his tent.

The seeds after the effect of faith have been planted, but unfortunately the seeds cannot germinate quickly, and we can only know whether the seeds after the effect of belief can work until the spring of next year.

Billowing smoke would rise from time to time on the Korimian grasslands. It was the tauren who reclaimed the wasteland and set fire to it.The fire devoured the withered grass on the wasteland, leaving a place of gray powder, and then the tauren began to pull the wooden plow to reclaim the wasteland.

This kind of slash-and-burn cultivation method is very suitable for the current cold winter fortress. It is autumn now, the pasture is dry, and the moisture content is very low. It can be burned at one point. The only disadvantage may be that it is difficult to control when it is burned. up.

Moreover, there are almost no shrubs and no tree roots to dig, which greatly reduces the difficulty of reclamation.

Every day there is a large area of ​​newly reclaimed farmland, and the leftover vegetation ash after the fire is fertile to the land, and it is only a matter of planting suitable seeds into the ground.

But it is a pity that Shire has no drought-resistant crop seeds in hand, so the land can only be put on hold and planted again in the spring of next year. However, weeds will grow again by then, and they will have to be burned again.

With the foundation of the first reclamation, the second time will be much easier, and Charles has no choice but to comfort himself in this way.After all, it is impossible for so many tauren to just stay and not work, so it is also good to loosen the ground first.

Ciel hoped that Faith would work on the Seed.That means Noxus can harvest an extra round of food.

Food is really important.

Now Noxus' food consumption is too fast, and 1300 new tauren fighters have been added, but they must not be treated differently. Once the seeds of discrimination are planted, it will be difficult to eradicate them in the future.

What's more, this is the army. Discrimination is practiced in the melting pot of the army. Wouldn't it be easier and more rampant for discrimination among civilians?

What the military needs is a proper reward and punishment system, fair opportunities, and differentiated treatment based on military merit, which is the key to keeping the army alive.

Shire will not allow officers and soldiers to be treated the same, nor will ordinary tauren soldiers be treated the same as ordinary human soldiers.

The tauren are tall and strong, with a strong physique. Looking at it from another angle, they also eat more. Generally, the food intake of tauren soldiers is 1.5 to 2 times that of human soldiers. This is based on the human soldiers' practice of breathing.

But fortunately, this time they went north to get enough cattle and sheep, and there must be no problem with food in a short period of time.

Shire doesn't plan to go to the Silver Fox family to buy it. The original price was acceptable, but now it has tripled. If you go again, you will be taken advantage of. I hope that old Mark can start the business of Winter Fortress so that they will not be affected by this stock. Wimpy.

At this time, the centaur Peter walked into the tent out of breath: "Master Baron, I have good news and bad news."

Charles waved his hand to signal him to rest first. Peter was sent by Charles to the Tusk Tribe to inquire about news, and he finally came back today.

"Let's say the good news first."

Peter took a few deep breaths and replied, "On the way back, I encountered a herd of wildebeests. It is estimated that there are more than 100 wildebeests, and the fur of the first wildebeest is golden yellow."

"A wildebeest with golden fur?" Charles was delighted when he heard that. The wildebeest is a large herbivore on the Korimian prairie, weighing five to six hundred catties, with a bull's head, a horse's face, and sheep's whiskers.It has a thick head and broad shoulders, much like a buffalo, and a slender rear, more like a horse.

There are extraordinary powers in this world, there are beliefs, fighting spirit, and naturally there are magic and monsters.Ordinary wildebeests are dark brown with black manes on their necks, while wildebeests that have become monsters have golden fur.

The wildebeest has a short spine and a heavy front body, which is not suitable for long-distance raids. It is also fierce and easy to hurt people, so it is not suitable for riding.

However, in the south-central part of the Kingdom of Sisinoa, wildebeests are much better than ordinary war horses in the eyes of nobles who hold banquets every day. First of all, wildebeests look majestic and look better than ordinary war horses. On top of the wildebeest, even the aristocratic lord has a lot of scenery.

As for the use value, this is not within the scope of thinking of these noble lords who hold banquets.

"The bad news." Charles was not dazed by the good news, he didn't believe that such a good thing could happen to him for no reason.

"The Flying Claw Tribe is about to launch a general attack on the Tusk Tribe. This group of wildebeests went south because the pasture was occupied by the centaurs of the Flying Claw Tribe."

"Then why did you come back alone? Why didn't Patriarch Bilair come with the Fang tribe?"
