Chapter 2072 Take the initiative to attack
  The sudden shouting in the night caused the soldiers who had not yet woken up to panic. They had been told that the person who fell from the city was not a real person at all, but a scarecrow, so they were already prepared for the attack at night. They had lost their defenses and had not slept well for many days to guard against night attacks, so they were extremely sleepy now.

Being woken up suddenly at this time, everyone was in a daze, and it was impossible to pick up weapons and organize effective resistance in a short period of time.

And what about others at this time? Although those responsible for patrol duty are organized, how can they be effective in the face of an attack that has been planned for a long time? The artillery on top of the city had been transported down and placed near the attack site. The continuous bombardment made it impossible for them to form a tight array. Although the team was extremely loose, they were overwhelmed by the impact of the uniform army. However, in front of the military camp battle, there is still the final defense of the Imperial Guard.

These are the most elite members, and there are even a small number of extraordinary beings among them.

They protect the safety of their main palace. Even at this time, we would not relax our vigilance, so we didn't sleep at night, and there were always people on duty taking turns. At this time, they immediately formed a neat array and defended themselves at the entrance of the camp.

Under normal circumstances, they can fight against the same number or even several times the number of enemies, and may even win. But it's night now. The surrounding soldiers were in chaos. What they faced was not just a mob. The artillery bombarded the door of the camp, and even these well-trained elites still found it difficult to maintain absolute calm when their teammates around them were bombarded into mincemeat.

Emotions of tension and fear are constantly destroying their psychological defenses. At this time, the charging team was not far away from them and the entire team stopped. The musketeers took aim and formed three neat lines. As they aimed at the target, the weapons in their hands fired, and then the people in the row behind them rushed to the front of them and continued to fire. Finally, the people in the last row came to the front and completed the third round of firing, and so on again and again. forward. A total of three rounds of this cycle were completed.

And looking at those elites at this time, even if they were wearing hard armor, when facing such intensive attacks, the armor was shot through by bullets. He fell to the ground. Those who were lucky enough not to be killed had completely lost their courage at this time. The high-density fire strikes in a short period of time caused too many casualties in an instant, and these casualties have exceeded their psychological endurance.

Even if these people are elites, the spread has begun, leaving only a few family knights, and these knights are the most loyal. Therefore, he will not flinch even in the face of death. But what they faced was a charge of spears. The soldiers put down their muskets and attacked with spears instead. And in the face of the joint attack of countless people, what's the point of a single person or a few people?

Originally, they could be used as surprise troops to charge on horses.

But it is difficult for cavalry horses to be fully equipped with armor. In the intensive attack just now, all the war horses fell to the ground. These musketeers are very clear about the principle of shooting people first and mounting horses. Without cavalry, there is no advantage of charging. Even if they have been trained since childhood and are good at close combat. But faced with the combined attacks of many people using spears, he had no choice. Such masters were strangled to death one by one. Perhaps one or two people's lives could be taken away before death. But these people who gathered from the city to launch the night attack were also elites. This casualty is far from enough to defeat them.

After defeating the last defense at the entrance of the camp, the leader of the group was left.

The leader at this time was holding an extremely sophisticated weapon. It seems that he is still casting magic, preparing for the final wave in his camp.

However, before giving him enough time, the soldiers had already rushed out. He killed several people with the sharp sword in his hand, but was subdued to the ground. Although he has been trained since childhood, in terms of true strength, he may still be inferior to those elite soldiers who were just killed outside.

After all, he is a noble. Although he has more conditions to receive force training, he still needs to learn more things that nobles need to learn. Compared with full-time soldiers, there is still a big gap.

Even if he wanted to use the magic props left by his ancestors to turn the tide, he had no time to inspire him before a spear was pressed against his chest. If he did anything rash, he would be killed immediately. In this way, the noble was forcibly suppressed and left his camp.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they were all in an uproar. Many of these soldiers were not loyal to their families, but had no way out after joining the army. After these people saw that their lord was captured, they immediately raised their hands and surrendered to the city. Only a few people choose to defend their lord to the death. But that doesn't mean much. When most people choose to surrender, it is impossible for them to choose to attack forcefully in this situation. Otherwise, if the opponent directly kills their lord with a knife, what should they do?
  As a last resort, these people put down their weapons and had their hands tied by the people in the city. Escorted to the city.

After Rowling met the nobleman who was captured by her, she did not kill him, but asked him to sign a contract with her, a contract on the transcendent level. It is difficult for them to violate this kind of contract. Once they violate this kind of contract, they may die suddenly on the spot. After the contract is signed, the subordinate status between the two parties is already quite clear.

After seeing that their lord was not dead, the most loyal elites also chose to continue their loyalty. It's just because his master has become someone else's little brother. They also had to work indirectly for the man who had captured their lord.

After Luo Lin captured this nobleman, his troops greatly increased. The most important thing is that there are too many war horses. The war horses carried by this noble are not only the war horses of his cavalry, but also many war horses are used to transport supplies. After the capture, the number of horses was close to one thousand, which meant that the city could try to cultivate cavalry.

Even in the age of firearms, cavalry still has its significance. Especially in this era, if the muskets are equipped with cavalry, they can fire a volley while riding, although it is quite difficult to reload the muskets of this era. But being able to complete a round of firepower projection on a war horse is already a huge advantage on the battlefield. You know someone who wants to be trained to shoot a bow and arrow on a horse. How much resources do you need to consume? Even if you start training from childhood to adulthood, you may not be able to master this skill.

And if a firearm is used as a weapon, it can basically only be fired once on horseback. But the training required is quite little. As long as you can master the use of firearms proficiently and be able to ride a horse to a certain extent, it is enough. This requirement is actually quite simple. It may only take one or two years or even a few months of training to master it. After all, horses in this era already have horse stools. If this thing existed, it would be much easier to control. It’s just a little more difficult than riding a motorcycle. If you cooperate well with your mother, driving it may be less difficult than riding a motorcycle.

It is precisely because of this that the difficulty of training new cavalry has been greatly reduced. In addition, the cavalry played almost no role in the night mat this time, and most of them were actually preserved intact. There are more than 400 left here. This means that the city will now have a certain degree of field capability. Relying on the support of your own infantry and artillery at the front, while maintaining a stalemate with the opponent, you can send cavalry to sneak attack on the flanks. In this way, you can confuse the enemy's formation and directly disperse the enemy's army in one go.

In this way, it can exert considerable advantages in field battles. Even if you don't take into account the number of people in these legions, there are quite a lot of them. There are many. The civilian men who transported supplies had actually undergone a certain degree of military training. In the hands of the previous nobles, these people could only be used as transportation supplies, but if it were replaced by Luo Lin, they could be trained into qualified musketeers in a short period of time.

His troops can instantly expand to more than two thousand, and the number of cavalry can even increase to one thousand, which means that even if there are slightly powerful nobles who come to attack his city, it will be very difficult. down.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good at yourself, and if you are rich, you will have it since ancient times. Luo Lin now has a relatively powerful force, and according to his investigation, there is another portal near him. It was less than fifty miles away from where he was now. This means that a crusade is completely possible. The distance between the two portals is very close, and the strength of the force occupied by the other portal is not very strong. It can even be said to be relatively weak, even weaker than the strength Rowling initially showed.

Such an existence can be conquered and occupied by him. But after owning two cities and mastering two portals, it is a completely different level of power. If you only own one city and are trapped, you can only be besieged in the city and fight to the death. But if there are two cities, they can help each other. And there is no way for these two cities to be surrounded, because they can eventually reach the city on the other side through the portal. In this way, with the two cities watching and helping each other, the enemy must be prepared for sneak attacks from both sides at the same time. While attacking, he must also be prepared to be annihilated by both sides under the city wall.

Under such a situation, the power will definitely expand to another level. At that time, there will be situations from all directions. In such a troubled time, many nobles must have been defeated. If these defeated nobles want to continue to survive, they can only choose to rely on others. And they must choose clothes from relatively powerful forces. A small force that only owns one city may not be very attractive to them, but if they control two cities, it will be equivalent to a certain degree of qualitative change.

will become one of their choices. Many empires in the past dynasties started from the first two cities and developed to the present point. Some of the strengths in the early stages may not be as strong as Luo Lin's now.

So he is now ready to attack the portal that is relatively close to him.

The total strength there should also be around 500. Similar to his previous troop level, but worse trained than the soldiers before him, and relatively poor in the use of thermal weapons. There are no accompanying tactics. There are also many misunderstandings about the construction of cities, and they still build the same square-shaped city walls as before.

In today's era where battles mainly rely on the output of projectile weapons, although this kind of boxy city wall can reduce the length required for one's defense, it will also make it difficult to deploy the projectile troops on one's side. If it cannot be deployed, it will be difficult to gain an advantage in firepower. Failure to gain an advantage in firepower is the original sin in this era.

Naturally, Luo Lin would not be kind enough to teach the other party how to fight. At this level of strength, with nearly five times the opponent's strength, he was confident that he could capture the city within a month with relatively few casualties. So after a period of rest, reorganizing the captured soldiers, and confirming that the other party was reliable, an expedition began.

To be precise, it's not an expedition. Fifty miles is just a step on the accelerator in the mechanized era. Although transportation is not that convenient in this era, this distance is definitely not an expedition. If you march quickly, you can reach the destination in one day. Even if it is to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers and ensure that the logistics personnel will not be attacked during transportation, there is no problem in dividing this stretch of road into two days.

Anyone who has tried hiking knows this. Even if you walk more than 20 kilometers continuously, you may suffer from back pain. But it is definitely not beyond personal physiological limits. What's more, in this era, horses can pull goods, and people can also hitchhike when there are people. In order to solve the transportation problem in the city, Rowling also asked for breeding to produce many mules. There is no pressure on logistics at all. If the city is besieged, it can be surrounded. Quite a long time.

The local city lord is also there. In the process, I fell into panic.

Enemies that outnumbered him by nearly five times surrounded his city. Although in his understanding, even if this number of enemy troops surrounded his city, they would theoretically be unable to defeat it.

But if too much noise was made during the siege and other nobles were attracted, they would be dead if the two sides made peace under the city wall.
