Heroes of the Invincible call a thousand troops

William was a soldier, and he acted vigorously and vigorously. According to Lin Tianwen's evaluation, he would be aggressive.As soon as he was sure that the news given by the thieves was true, he immediately awakened the army, retreated to Xidaying overnight, and followed Lin Tian's instructions, one by one. Even in order to facilitate the cavalry assault, the army was ordered to cut down a large number of trees and cut them into planks...

board?What is it for?Could it be that they are used as crude shields like the orcs?

Before answering this question, let's briefly talk about the fortifications of Xidaying.

The camp was backed by a cliff, and the terrain gradually increased with a certain slope.The general shape can be considered as half a hexagon, but half of it is truncated by the cliff, leaving the position for the enemy to attack, just like the remaining 3 sides.At the top of the slope is the location of the camp. Here, the orcs had dug a trench to prevent the enemy from attacking. This is a routine fortification, but it can prevent the enemy's offensive, whether it is infantry or cavalry.

To put it simply, if the cavalry wants to jump over, they must have a relatively long acceleration distance, and they must have good riding skills and strong horses to be able to jump over in one go.However, if the cavalry started from the battalion, it was obviously impossible to have this acceleration distance, and they had to stop when they reached the trench. This must not be tolerated by William, because it lost enough impact and also lost the suddenness of the counterattack.

To this end, he prepared enough thick planks, which he did not usually lay on, but piled in the back, which can also be used to block arrows. After all, according to the information given by the thieves, the opponent has at least 5 centaur archers, and the necessary preparations for arrow defense are still necessary.Lay it up when the cavalry is ready to charge.The cavalry almost didn't need to stop, they could kill and rush all the way down.If this difficulty cannot be overcome.What else does William talk about cavalry command?

Not only that, he also asked the soldiers to prepare a lot of dry firewood by the way.Inside the camp alone, hundreds of large bonfires have been set up. Although there are relatively few bonfires lit at present, the current light is still sufficient.This is mainly to prevent the orcs from sneaking at night. When necessary, the patrol soldiers on duty will light all these big bonfires, and the whole position will be as bright as day.

With light, the soldiers will certainly not be afraid of the enemy's attack in the dark.This is Lin Tian's suggestion to him, and he further refined the implementation details.

It's a pity that I didn't bring kerosene!He blinked his mouth.I'm a little sorry to say.

There is such a thing as kerosene in Sword Demon Continent. If you have to say it, it is the crude oil in Lin Tiankou.However, Lin Tian sent people to search and investigate everywhere, but they did not find any oil production sites.Originally, he used his crooked brain to develop gunpowder, but after discovering that the laws of the world restricted him, he started thinking about looking for oil, but unfortunately he has found nothing so far...

Think about it, even in the 21st century, it is difficult to see directly exposed crude oil.Generally, crude oil is produced in deep underground.If there is no certain industrial support, it is wishful thinking to want to extract oil.For example, the Daqing oil field, or the oil and gas fields in the East China Sea, which oil production is so simple?How advanced is the technology for this?

The Petroleum Industry in the 21st Century.It is also supported by the technology of modern industry. Have you ever heard of oil production?Some countries in the Middle East have also become rich in this century.I was also very poor before, so there was no gas before?

It's just that it's useless.It's even more unavailable.

In view of this, Lin Tian later gave up his plan to find oil.otherwise.He has a lot of flying troops, and he can kill many orcs just by sprinkling oil and lighting a fire.

At that time, Lin Tian was talking about oil, which drove the people from the Ministry of Industry into a hurry, brought him dozens of catties of vegetable oil, and asked him if he wanted it?It directly left Lin Tian speechless...

The kerosene that William spoke of was crude oil, the crude oil that Lin Tian had never been able to find!But don't think that this thing is easy to come by, this kind of kerosene is still not mass-produced.

The Kingdom of Sunny Day is bordered by the Kingdom of Dark Iron, so it also has friendship with the dwarves.Everyone knows that dwarves like mining, and mining requires drilling holes.Generally, the production area of ​​crude oil is very deep, so even with the digging ability of the dwarves, it is impossible to dig into the oil production layer, but this does not prevent them from being in contact with crude oil.

During the mining process, they did encounter a lot of crude oil, but generally the amount was so small that it was almost impossible for the crude oil to be used.William once received dozens of altars of crude oil (renamed kerosene by the dwarves) as a gift from the dwarves, which is less than a few hundred catties and a thousand catties, so he distributed them to everyone for warmth in winter...

Don't make fun of him, the dwarves gave it to him for warmth, because that's what these dwarves do too.

To sum it up, it's not that Sword Demon Continent doesn't have oil, but it can't generate production at all, and can only save a little bit for critical moments. If you want to use kerosene to roast orcs now, well, you can wash up and sleep.

But later on, not necessarily, Lin Tian is different from the aborigines, at least he will not use precious crude oil to keep warm...

In fact, there were still several jars of kerosene in William's palace, and what he was talking about at this time was, why didn't he bring these kerosene with him?If these giant bonfires had the support of this kerosene, how could they burn so prosperously? ...

Forgive these ignorant natives!Just like, people in the Middle Ages, who knew that oil could also be used to drive cars?Because at that time, they didn't have cars at all!Because the output is too small, everyone has almost never come into contact with it, let alone digging its military value...

Who has seen the kind of oil field where kerosene is exposed outside the surface and gushes out from the hole continuously?I'm afraid no one has seen it.Even if there is, the black and slimy shape will pollute the environment, surely someone will make up a legend about devil's tears, cursed poisonous water, etc. to package it?

The overnight construction of the camp here is already in full swing.William didn't hide the information he got, but he also mentioned that the strength of the orcs has been greatly reduced, and there will be news of the arrival of Lin Tian's reinforcements in the near future.Some serious people asked when the reinforcements would arrive and how many people were there?

He just replied with a smile, Lin Tian's reinforcements can kill 14 orcs in one battle, and they will arrive soon.Although some people are still dissatisfied with his slightly cunning answer, in the army, soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, and being able to inform the situation in advance is considered good, and the information provided by others is not fabricated.

According to this statement, if 14 orcs have been wiped out, then this battle still has to be fought!

Coupled with William's consistent command ability and prestige, the morale of the army is still quite high. (To be continued..)
