Chapter 2073 All at once
  It can be said that Rowling is determined to win the castle in front of her. If she can gain control of this place, she can help each other with her original portal, and the distance between the two portals is not far, some kind of It can be regarded as one of the transportation hubs.

Although this transportation hub is the foundation of the empire, there are still certain differences between transportation hubs.

The center of the previous empire, the imperial capital, was the largest transportation hub, with a total of six portals within a hundred miles.

And there needs to be at least four portals within a hundred miles to have the foundation to build an empire.

Even so, if there are two portals that can help each other, there is also capital to occupy one side and achieve hegemony. When the empire is rebuilt and enfeoffed in the future, he will definitely be able to become a prince, at least a duke.

Relatively speaking, those that only occupy one portal. In the subsequent process of conquering the world, one's own city will often be attacked. Eventually they lost their territory and died in troubled times. So the two portals are a threshold. Those who can step into this threshold in the future will most likely become one of the princes of the new empire.

Of course, this depends not only on strength, but also on luck.

There is a portal in some places. No matter how powerful you are, when there is only one portal nearby, you can only occupy this one and travel hundreds of miles to conquer another portal. The loss would be too great.

According to Rowling's investigation, her luck can be considered relatively good. There is another portal within less than 50 miles, which is enough to form a small transportation hub.

Although apart from this portal, the nearest one is two hundred miles away, but it is still acceptable. Although crossing this distance to attack another portal requires crossing complex terrain. There are considerable requirements for logistical supplies and for the army to travel long distances.

But judging from the distance between many portals, this can be considered quite close. And according to judgment, the other portal leads to another continent. The portal can control another continent and is also the foundation of the empire. Therefore, his area can at most develop to the point of controlling three portals.

But if his strength spans two continents, his achievements in the future will not be as simple as separatist power. Even if someone occupies the area where the four portals are gathered and has enough power to establish an empire, he can still compete with the opponent. Even those who have the foundation of the empire within a period of time cannot be eliminated. There have been such examples in history. The power with three portals has developed strong enough, and then it has become strong enough to compete with the emperor. The empires were tied together, and they were eventually crowned King of Side by Side.

Later, it was because the descendants were really incompetent. This has led to a deterioration in domestic business capabilities. So after the death of the founder of the country, the country declined for a generation, and was eventually raided to kill the headquarters. Under the coordination of internal and external cooperation, the transportation hub was taken away, and then it was annexed by the empire, allowing the empire to complete the unification of the entire world.

Luo Lin has no control over whether future generations are capable. What he has to do now is to lay down a world for his descendants. After he has laid down this world, he will see if there is still a chance to expand.
  In his current situation, even if he occupies all three teleportation gates, and there happens to be a not too far away teleportation channel behind the last teleportation gate, it cannot be regarded as the foundation of the empire.

Because this is not the four portals gathered together.

In short, the four portals gathered together want to serve as the foundation of the empire. First they have to be on the same side.

In short, the distance between the four portals themselves is quite close. The best possible situation for him now is to be on the back of one of the three portals on his current side. There is a closer portal.

This cannot be called the foundation of the empire, because the transportation hub of the journey is unstable, and the fourth transportation hub must be reached after crossing the portal. The effect is worse than four portals on the same side. The fourth portal is equivalent to an enclave, which is difficult to coordinate and manage, and there is no way to help each other.

It is possible to be snatched away by the enemy. Only one person in history built an empire based on this foundation. But after establishing the empire, he quickly chose to move the capital. We chose a place at that time where five portals were gathered together.

At that time, he was able to achieve imperial status because the real transportation hub was occupied by two major forces, and they were pulling each other. Neither one could kill the other, but he was the one who picked the peach.

What Luo Lin looks forward to is that he will have the opportunity to copy the achievements of his ancestor. It's just that all this is too far-fetched. The top priority now is to solve the city in front of him. Whether it is three cities, four cities, or even the foundation of the empire, these must wait until a firm foothold is established before we can discuss it. The top priority now is to seize the two teleportation channels that are relatively close to each other and establish their own foundation. Only then can they gradually develop their plans in the future. Since God gave him pretty good luck, he must grasp it.

And as his legion reached the enemy's city, the city owner was also in panic. What they expected was someone who could sneak attack the opponent's city. In this way, the effect of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is achieved, and the opponent must return to the city to defend.

But it's still a period of chaos. The new world map is far from being figured out yet. If such a thing as a world map existed, it would be absolutely worth thousands of gold, even the most precious thing in this era. Because no one knows where the transportation hub of this era is. People who discover a transportation hub will never tell others. Instead, they fight to the death near the transportation hub, striving to occupy it and establish an empire. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the transportation hub they occupy is the truly largest one.

Therefore, those nobles who have powerful platoons are actually not settling down now, but are looking for transportation hubs with the largest number of portals all over the world. They are not bandits, they do not intend to occupy the mountains and become kings, but they intend to truly achieve imperial status. Because of this, no one knows where each city is without a world map. When a city is under siege, the probability of expecting someone to surround Wei and save Zhao from one's neighbor's city is too low. The city lord who is now under siege doesn't even know who to turn to for help.

There were more than 2000 troops under the city, which was five times his number. At this time, he was already at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. I can only be glad that I evaporated the nation immediately after discovering the portal and built a fairly thick city wall. This city wall was already considered tall and majestic even in peacetime and prosperity. In his opinion, he should be able to defend his city.

If the opponent attacked by force, the losses would be huge, and there might be blood and oars floating under his city. When the time came, he might be able to gather the elites in the city for a surprise attack while the opponent suffered huge losses and lost morale. Either fight out of the city, or directly capture the thieves and capture the king first.

The strategies are similar, but there is obviously a huge gap in the execution of tactics. Just this square city wall is difficult to defend when faced with artillery bombardment. What's more important is that after a few artillery pieces on the city wall are gathered together, But found that the enemy could not be bombed at all. Compared to the people on the city wall, Rowling knew better how to conduct a siege in this era, with his current number of people and firepower configuration, plus the captured artillery pieces. It is absolutely confident that it can win this city.

After capturing the city, he would have the confidence to gather enough people to bring out the technology of the handicraft industry. At the same time, he could try to make weapons, firearms, cannons and other things by himself. In theory, he was fully capable of making them.

After observing the artillery on the city wall, he immediately chose a corner of the city wall. Then began digging trenches. Although trenches have been around for a long time, the method of using them has never been determined. And this time he showed a textbook method of use. Zigzag trenches were dug, each trench almost parallel to the city wall. In this way, it would be difficult for weapons on the city wall to attack them. Instead, they could take this opportunity to get closer to the city wall safely. Regardless of whether it is a bow or arrow, it is difficult to shoot into a good trench at this angle. Even something like a bow and arrow can only be thrown at such a large angle. The attack power of this method is much smaller. Just hold a board-like shield above your head. Bows and arrows falling from the sky will hardly cause any harm to the people below. The number of artifacts in the city must be limited. After spending a few rounds, you will definitely be reluctant to shoot, and the accuracy of such a long-distance projectile is extremely limited. Basically it will not hinder the mining process.

Wait until such a zigzag trench keeps getting closer. It becomes more and more difficult to hit by projectiles. Although it was possible to shoot directly from the city wall, the angle of the trench was just right so that they would be difficult to reach.

How deep the trench should be dug and at what angle should be dug, all of which have been carefully calculated mathematically. So much so that neither artillery nor crossbow arrows could hit the city wall.

I could only watch helplessly as the excavation reached a very short distance from the city. Someone began to dig out the soil in these ditches and piled them into forts. Artillery was set up one after another, aiming at the city head and starting to fight back. The artillery on the siege side is obviously more. At this time, the cannons at the top of the city were suddenly suppressed, and a few unlucky ones were hit and misfired. In fact, it was not necessarily the cannons that were hit and blown up. It was more likely that the gunners were injured in the process.

In this era, it is not easy to train a skilled gunner. Deep mathematical knowledge is quite difficult for most people in this era to learn.

Without skilled gunners to control it, the result is often an output as fierce as a tiger, with a record of 0-5. I don’t know how to calculate trigonometric functions, and I don’t know how to look up tables of trigonometric functions. So the shell hit is largely a metaphysical issue. Even if the distance between the two sides is very close, they still can't hit if they should. On the contrary, Luo Lin's team has relevant experience. And a set of barely accurate function tables was handed down. It can be said that he is at ease on the battlefield. The gunner's hit rate is much higher than that of his opponent.

Amidst the continuous bombings. Already occupied an absolute advantage. At the same time, artillery continued to bombard the city wall, which also caused the original city wall to collapse. During this process, warriors were organized under the city to place bombs under the city wall and blast the city wall.

After several loud noises, although dozens of Deadpools were killed or injured, a large part of the city wall collapsed amidst the loud noises.

A soldier holding a grenade-like grenade in his hand. Rushed up the city wall. There are three types of weapons they carry, one is a musket that can only be fired three times. Somewhat similar to a revolver. It is an extremely rare piece of equipment. After all, there are very few qualified springs in this era, and many of them require magicians to enchant them. To a certain extent, this thing is considered a semi-enchanted weapon, and it is the most precious thing in the hands of soldiers.

Another weapon is the iron thunder thrown by them. It is also their main weapon. In addition, each man is also equipped with a steel sword. After the distance is close enough, or after the bullets are used up, use the blade in your hand to swing. It is the most suitable way to fight on the battlefield.

This group of people are the most heroic people selected by Rowling in the army. Some of them were subordinates of previously captured nobles. These people were actually very unconvinced at first, but after seeing the orderly siege method and comparing it with their own, they had to admit the new main attack ratio. The lord they were originally loyal to became more capable.

As this group of heroes rushed to the top of the city. The iron thunder in his hand was thrown out with a loud bang. The defenders in the city were terrified. Plus they have pistols that can fire repeatedly. It created an extremely terrifying firepower advantage in a short period of time. The section of city wall they captured immediately collapsed, and a large number of subsequent infantrymen quickly climbed onto the city wall. After completing the occupation of this section of the city wall, they also began to attack in other directions. After guarding the gap in the city wall, some cavalry followed the gap into the city.

At this time, there was complete chaos in the city, and there was also a loss of order on the city walls. Almost no casualties were incurred. This city that should have been extremely strong was attacked. Although there are still a few soldiers hiding in the position of the portal, they are ready to rely on the disadvantage that only a small number of soldiers can pass through the portal at a time to block the opponent.

But as a large number of explosives were thrown from the portal, the previous warriors rushed out again, already loaded in their hands. The firearm did not fire immediately, but used the smoke of the explosion to throw out several special smoke bombs, reducing the surrounding visibility to the lowest level. Taking advantage of the chaos portal, the legion quickly rushed in, In particular, the cavalry was very fast. A large number of people passed through the portal in a short period of time and reached the city opposite the portal. The infantry followed up and a large number of artillery was brought over. Soon someone relied on the portal to build defenses. It won't take long for the portal to be occupied. The tactical level of the two sides is very different.
