Chapter 2069 Chaos Begins

Regarding the arrival of void creatures, humans so far have no choice but to prepare as much as possible and make corresponding material preparations.

For ordinary people in this world, when facing the invasion of void creatures, they can only choose to reserve as much food as possible so that they can survive the famine in the possible turmoil.

Although under normal circumstances, the official invasion of void creatures should be kept confidential. However, the ability to keep secrets in the feudal era was really limited. Especially when something like this was known to the whole world, it was difficult to prevent people from panicking.

So a few days before the arrival of the void creatures, it was actually in chaos.

People began to rush to buy various daily necessities. Sometimes not everyone had the money to buy, and some people hoarded them. As a result, prices have risen. Many people do not obtain supplies through purchase, but directly grab them.

The social order is on the verge of collapse. And soon with the arrival of void creatures, the social order completely collapsed.

Some people stocked up on enough food before the chaos struck and dug basements in their rooms. He was hiding in it like a doomsday patient, with no intention of coming out anytime soon. Wait until things calm down a bit, then check how far you are from the nearest transportation hub. This is how the rest of life goes on.

Those who can make these choices are people with a moderately wealthy family, at least not the lowest peasants and the extremely poor. People who really don't have money can only hide some food for themselves in places they are familiar with. Keep some extra hard currency with you, maybe some useful hard currency, such as gold or something like that. These people might be able to get a gold coin at most. It might even be just a gold nugget the size of a fingernail, which is probably all their assets.

And these are definitely not obtained through their frugality, but they were grabbed in the final chaos. In addition to necessities such as food and salt, they also have a small amount of this so-called hard currency, but It is also unknown how useful these things can be in troubled times.

Rowling Rudolph was sent to the originally remote area as the seed of the family. What I saw was such a chaotic situation in the small town.

Even though this is not a transportation hub to begin with. The nearest portal is a hundred miles away, and it is a transit portal. That is to say, you need to transfer once and go through other portals to reach the real transportation hub.

But there are still tens of thousands of people living in this town, although the end of the empire may not have much impact on them. But chaos is still inevitable.

Faced with this chaos, Rowling immediately chose to organize her own knights to rush into the town.

Rush to the town's government. There are only more than 50 well-trained knights around him. Many of them are not banned, but have been trained by their families since childhood. Now they are all divided into the hands of various seeds in the family. At least half of the more than 50 knights can only be regarded as ordinary cavalry, which is nothing compared to the legions of others, which can easily reach tens of thousands.

But it is already considered a powerful armed force in this small town. The sight of them galloping past on horseback was astonishing. At least for ordinary people in this world, this scene is shocking enough.

The originally chaotic streets fell into silence, and everyone chose to hide in their hiding places. The cavalry was allowed to rush to the local government.

The governments of small towns in remote areas don't have many troops in total. Once the cavalry arrived, they knew there was no point in resisting. Someone hung a white cloth on a branch. Shaking wildly at the door means surrender. The cavalry circled the administrative building several times, as if showing off their power.

There are actually some troops locally, with a total number of more than 100 people. But if there really is a fight, there is no chance of winning. On the one hand, most of these troops are from peasants, and on the other hand, they do not have enough horses. The infantry is fighting against the troops with horse stools on this battlefield. The cavalry is really at a disadvantage. The two sides are not at all on the same level of fighting ability. So after facing a large number of cavalry rushing over, the local officials immediately chose to surrender. At the same time, he reorganized his own army and handed over the city's household registration rolls, which was equivalent to handing over all military and administrative power.

Surrendering sincerely enough saved the city lord from being killed. He even gained a place in the legion. Luo Lin looked at the city lord and ordered: "Organize all the people in the town, collect all the food in the city, control it, and then organize them for training. Remember to send enough people to handle the granary in the town and not allow anyone to approach. These people do not obey orders. If so, they can be killed directly and everything will be put under military control.

I need to train an army with sufficient numbers as soon as possible. In addition, you select ten people to join the ten cavalry led by me to search the surroundings to see if there are any teleportation channels around.

Act now, do you understand? "Lowling still remembers the plan her ancestors told her. Everything must be people-oriented. After finding the nearest transportation hub, she moved there as much as possible. After occupying it, food, water, and population will all be available. The time required to train new soldiers in the new era is much shorter than that of the original feudal nobles.

In the original era of enfeoffed nobles, nobles only needed to train their own martial arts from a young age. With armor and weapons, they could fight 100 or more by one person. Facing such a powerful knight, ordinary people have no choice. Relying on numerical superiority to resist

They used the pitchforks in their hands to attack the top of the armor, unable to cause any damage at all.

Luo Lin can be regarded as the number one figure in this troubled world. At least the skills he has learned on how to train soldiers are ranked among the best among many brothers. The same goes for how to organize people.

But now his top priority is not to organize the population to build a legion, but to find the nearest space passage. If he is not near the space channel, everything will be in vain.

Although the space channel will be randomly shuffled after the void creature appears nearby. But there are always people who think that the probability that an area that originally had a space channel would still have a space channel after the shuffle is very small. Therefore, the city where he is located is not taken seriously. Because there is actually a space passage near him. Although it is a hundred miles away, in many people's first impression, it is difficult for a large number of space passages to gather in such an area. However, Luo Lin still sent out a patrol group to conduct reconnaissance. He could not just give up just because his side was not favored. If even he himself gives up, then there is really no hope at all.

After he sent troops to investigate, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a portal less than ten miles away from his town. This was definitely a good sign. There was no town visible on the other side of the portal for the time being, which meant that the distance was The nearest town to the portal is also ten miles away. This is very beneficial to them.

Without hesitation, he mobilized the soldiers in the town. Most of them went to camp near the portal. At the same time, defensive formulas were built at both ends of the portal.

All the residents in the town were forced to move here, cut down the surrounding trees, and rebuild the camp.

Tens of thousands of people worked in an orderly manner under his organization. A defensive offensive was quickly established at both ends of the portal. Even relying on the technology accumulated at home. Several catapults were set up nearby.

Catapults are not only used to attack cities. They also play a certain role in field battles.

During the field battle, both sides had to form a formation to attack. At least in this era, the formation was still very important, and it was difficult to maintain the formation under the constant bombardment of boulders. In particular, they have learned to put bombs in trebuchets and throw them out.

Although the explosion could not actually kill a few people, the feeling of despair when seeing oneself unable to resist under the opponent's long-range attack and only being able to die one by one was very strong. Such a legion formation is prone to chaos, and the worst result is that some soldiers cannot bear it anymore and charge ahead of time. One person may lead an entire legion to charge in advance. In the case of scattered formations and early charges, it is difficult for the chaotic army to exert its combat effectiveness in front of the opponent's strict formation. By the time they charge over a long distance and rush in front of the enemy, their physical strength has been exhausted. After all, how can we still fight?

The two trebuchets outside the portal can be said to have a decisive and huge effect. In the early days when no one had developed it, this was a quite effective force deterrence. But this can only deter some people like him. A less powerful noble. If you encounter the original great nobles and the legions they have assembled, the defensive offensive constructed with this little manpower will be nothing at all.

However, they also began to build defenses based on the knowledge passed down by their ancestors. Strong castles were built on both sides of the portal. There happens to be a mountain on one side of the portal, which can be used for quarrying. A large amount of stone was transported and built into the walls of the castle.

The shape of the fort is rather strange. It is not a square city that is common in this era. It is shaped like a hedgehog. This is the star castle that most often appeared in the early days of the Fire Age.

This is simple geometry knowledge. The polygonal fortress will be found if you want to besiege it. On the same side, the distance on the city wall is obviously longer than that under the city wall. That way we can rehearse with more people. More people equals more intense firepower.

On the battlefield, an unchanging rule is to use more to defeat less. More firepower can be deployed on the city wall, which means that when attacking under the city wall, you must face the disadvantage of attacking more with less.

What's more important is the most fierce cavalry of this era. The role it can play in front of the castle has been greatly reduced.

Rowling agreed very much with the design of this kind of castle by her ancestor. In fact, such castles had appeared in the empire one after another before that. However, the empire was still in its heyday at that time and there was no chaos, so Few people choose to attack this kind of castle. Although some people know its effect, few people have actually tried its power.

While quickly building the castle, he was also constantly training his soldiers. In fact, the food problem is not a problem in the short term. It's late summer now. The day of harvest is actually not far away. Surrounding the town are fields planted by local farmers. The number is actually quite a lot.

Therefore, they do not need to worry about food problems for quite some time. It is enough to wait until autumn and let the soldiers harvest the food in the fields. As long as no one disturbs them during this period, everything will be fine.

As for during this limited time, they put almost all their energy on training troops. The thing Rowling carries most with her is a musket, although it's not even a flintlock. But five hundred can be considered a large number. At least for this era, it was a considerable amount of wealth. Before entering the troubled times, his family could be said to have sold everything to equip everyone with so many weapons.

Compared with bows and arrows, the production cycle of this thing is shorter, and the cost is actually lower. Although it uses metal, the crossbow uses wood, but in fact the latter takes a long time to process the wood. deal with. The time cost is quite high, and the difficulty of production is not low at all.

All in all, it has considerable advantages. However, because it was just born, the military systems in various places have not yet been reformed and have not yet produced tactics that fully support this kind of firepower weapon. The ancestors of the Rudolph family were limited in what they could do. The most they could do was to make their descendants pay attention to this weapon. As for what kind of tactics this weapon should be paired with, their ancestor actually didn't know.

After all, this thing was originally controlled by the royal family. They have no chance of contact at all. In fact, the royal family did not know what the real tactics for this weapon should be at the beginning. At that time, no void creatures had arrived, and the empire was still in a complete state. With the help of the space channel, the empire could fight whoever it wanted. who. The huge military power means that they do not need to upgrade at all, and their own weapons can crush all parties.

Rowling quickly trained a group of soldiers. Under his training, these soldiers can at least use the weapons in their hands proficiently, although there are definitely still problems with the cooperation between other arms. But this is barely enough.

What they have to do now is to build their own castle as quickly as possible to protect the safety of this transportation node. It belongs to other surrounding transportation nodes. He has no intention of being greedy. He knows how much he weighs and will not do things that he cannot do. It is not his job to control an entire transportation hub. This force can do it now.
