Chapter 307 Siege War
The castle built by Rollin Rudolf was built strictly in accordance with geometry. Every corner was accurately measured. During the training on the battlefield, his fathers successfully summed up the relevant experience. Compared with those who still have
It is more conservative and not all the nobles have been equipped with bronze cannons. They are the nobles who need to guard against the constant sneak attacks of the separatist forces in remote areas. On the contrary, they are the group with faster technological advancement.
In the process of facing various enemy artillery attacks, they also successfully built their castle into a star-like shape.
There are already 500 peasants and soldiers he has trained now, who can be officially put into the battlefield. Luo Lin has no plans to use these people as offensive troops for the time being. Instead, he continues to gather refugees nearby because he has occupied
A portal, so the territory that can be controlled is twice the normal amount. With the same amount of troops, you can control twice the territory. In this way, the efficiency of collecting the surrounding people will be higher.
Today is undoubtedly a chaotic world. After the arrival of the void creatures, even those areas that were not affected by the disaster and were not affected by the transfer of the space gate will still fall into chaotic wars due to habitual panic and the influence of the people around them.
.
At this time, there was a castle occupying the space passage. Order was restored and people began to be admitted. Immediately, a large number of homeless people who had been homeless during the war gathered here.
Relying on the space gate, Luo Lin has begun to organize the planting of winter wheat. After all, so many people must have a source of food. Although the surrounding towns can harvest for one round, if they do not continue planting after that, they will have to rely on robbery in the future.
Obtaining food is not something a big power should do.
However, if he wants to hold on to the space he occupies, the door is not that simple. Although the population of the town has expanded from less than 10,000 to nearly 20,000 now with the gradual collection of refugees.
But the number of troops plus the cavalry he brought from his family amounted to more than 800 people. More than half of them were peasant soldiers who had just finished training and had not been on the battlefield.
They use improved matchlocks and cooperate with other farmers who train in their spare time. These farmers use spears to fight. In fact, they can only be used as a few on the battlefield. However, they are useful in city defense.
function.
After he occupied the space gate here, he soon ushered in the first round of enemy attacks. This round came from behind the space gate, which was the town where they set out.
He is the descendant of a previous earl, and has more than half of the legion in his hands, totaling 1,500 people, more than half of whom are cavalry. This is a quite luxurious configuration for this town, and it is impossible to obtain it in the field.
victorious.
The number of his cavalry is less than a hundred. Under normal circumstances, the victory is determined by the charge of heavy cavalry on the battlefield. The comparison of this number has already determined that it is impossible to win. But he believes in what his father said about the times.
Things have changed. Today's era is no longer the era of knights, and the rules of the world should also change accordingly.
After the cavalry formed up in front of the town, the opponent's commander observed the strange-shaped city and built a high platform to observe the population of the city from a high altitude.
"There are only such a few people. They are not worthy of occupying the space channel. Crush them!" After observing the population and the number of troops in the town, the noble who commanded this army ordered the attack without hesitation.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he is so reckless, but that he has no other choice. In the previous battle for another nearby space gate, he lost to the descendants of other nobles. The opponent had thousands of cavalry.
It was not something that he could compete with at his level. After a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, he escaped with his defeated soldiers. As a result, after another village was full of darkness, he unexpectedly encountered a village with such weak defense.
In his opinion, this could only be regarded as a village, not even a city.
With so many elite soldiers and generals under his command, they were cutting down trees and building construction machinery around them. It was not difficult at all to destroy this city.
You can dig holes below and conduct sneak attacks on the city wall. You can even blast the city wall directly underground. If you go up, you can use the excavated soil to pile up a mountain of earth and slowly push it towards the city wall. In this way, a
On the one hand, it can cover up the fact of digging the cave, and on the other hand, it can also pile up a mountain of earth as a high ground, so that the archers on your side can suppress fire on the city wall.
From a high position, archers can shoot farther and be more intimidating to those on the wall.
However, piling up such a mountain of earth requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and he was beaten out, so he didn't actually carry much material with him. He was more considering digging tunnels to break the city. If that didn't work, he would just
Able to attack forcefully.
As for the mountains of earth piled up on top, they are mostly used to cover up people's eyes and ears, to confuse people's hearing and hearing.
In the town, Luo Lin saw the army arrayed neatly outside the city, and her expression gradually became a little solemn. However, after taking a look, she found that there were not many artillery in the army, and the opponent's general did not seem to be very good at using artillery.
At an extremely long distance, if you use a cannon to shoot at the long head, the hit rate is very low, and the deterrent effect it can have is also very average.
"This group of gunners has very little experience in using artillery. Although the distance is a little farther, if they know how to calculate the angle, they won't set it so biased. In this way, it will be easier to handle. We don't need to worry about these artillery.
The artillery can threaten the enemies approaching the city wall. It seems that they are preparing to pile up sheep ridges to suppress our city walls, and they can just use the artillery at the top of the city to suppress them.
If we can win this station and capture the enemy's artillery, then the subsequent punishment will be much easier. We don't have the ability to produce artillery yet."
Luo Lin was thinking about how to win this battle instead of simply defending the city.
The other party was obviously prepared for a long-term project. After all, there was a wheat field outside the city. It was possible to harvest the wheat field there. Previously, due to the scout's mistake, they did not notice that they arrived so quickly and did not burn the wheat field. This
It was considered a mistake, and in order to make up for the impact of the mistake, he had to find a way to defeat the enemy.
"In a regular field battle, we definitely can't win with our numbers.
We can first defend the city and weaken the enemy's morale, and then think of ways to attack by surprise. If we can capture the thief first and capture the king first, there may be hope." He knew that he couldn't wait for reinforcements by simply defending here. Although he also
He knew very well that the other party did not dare to stay under the city for too long, otherwise he might be discovered by others outside the city, and then they would be flanked. But other existences outside the city were still a threat to the town, and he did not believe that anyone could
Let go of such a transportation hub.
Fortunately, he was prepared on the other side of the portal. On the other side, he planted some crops that can mature quickly. This city defense is also very particular. A city that occupies a space passage is more difficult than an ordinary city.
There were too many attacks. The biggest reason is that there is no way to deprive them of food by besieging such a city, because the space gate is inside the city.
Opposite the space gate is another city. If the city is not surrounded, they can still plant here. The food harvested can also be used by the people in the city.
In other words, if there is no way to capture the city after the siege, then there is basically no hope of capturing it for the rest of your life. The opponent's population may even increase as the city is attacked, after all, the population can be collected from the other side of the space gate.
This is why most cities are built near space gates. It is because of the huge strategic advantages that space channels have.
The attacking side actually considers a quick victory, because delaying time is obviously detrimental to them. Encircling the city is obviously not good for them. There are not many cities that can be defeated through encirclement, unless there is someone on the other side of the city space gate to cooperate with him.
But how is that possible?
As time goes by, the mounds of earth are getting higher and higher. They have begun to gradually spread towards the city wall. However, after the mounds of earth have reached this height, they have also reached the range of the artillery on the city wall. The soldiers carrying the mounds of earth on their backs are piling up on the mounds of earth.
They fled in all directions under the bombardment of artillery. They were not warriors who died in Han Dynasty. Facing the torn corpses under the bombardment of artillery, none of them dared to move forward.
The nobles who were attacking on the surface made an angry gesture. They tried to launch several rounds of strong attacks on the city wall, but in the end they were defeated because the firepower density on the city wall was higher than theirs, and they were unable to deploy their troops under the same width.
He came back. But in fact, he built the plank road openly and used it secretly.
The underground caves are being dug closer and closer to the city. Once dug under the city wall, a large number of bombs can be buried and the city wall will be blown open. When the time comes, you will have the advantage of troops and rush up to the city wall through the gap.
After occupying the next position on the city wall, you can advance little by little to completely capture the city.
Luo Lin looked at the opponent's fierce attack, but couldn't help but shook her head.
"It is impossible to attack this city with such an attack. If you want to attack such a city, the best way is to dig a son-shaped trench on the ground. Calculate the angle. The artillery on the city wall cannot bombard it.
For those who entered the ditch, after digging the ditch to the bottom of the city, and when the distance was too far to continue, they established an artillery position closer to the city wall, and then bombarded a corner of the city wall.
After a corner of the city wall collapses due to bombardment, it is possible to seize the city wall with one charge after sending people to launch a fierce attack on it. Once it is occupied, it will basically be stable.
If you dig a hole in the ground, it is basically unavoidable to make a loud sound.
In the city, if someone lies at the mouth of a well and listens to the direction of underground sounds, they can determine roughly which direction the person digging the tunnel is. Through the intersection and connection of multiple directions, the location of the other party can be determined.
You can dig a tunnel first to connect to the tunnel dug by the opponent, prepare thick smoke or poison in the tunnel in advance, or blow up the cave back and bury all the people digging the cave directly underneath. Before digging the cave to attack
During the process, the person who dies usually looks very miserable. After being carried out, it will greatly affect the morale, so that we have stopped using this trick for a long time.
But it seems that this is a classical nobleman, and he might try this old method. After all, with the advent of explosives, this is indeed a way to destroy the city wall in a short time."
Rowling has arranged enough blind people in the experiment. Because they have lost their power, their hearing has become more acute. They can hear subtle sounds better than ordinary people, and it is easier to judge the source of the sound.
It is impossible to be quiet when digging caves underground, at least in this era. They use a leather drum similar to a stethoscope and listen at the mouth of the well. It is relatively easy to hear the sounds outside, and they can also confirm the sounds underground in this way.
The general direction. Multiple general directions are connected with the positions of these wellheads. You can roughly calculate how far the other party is from you through calculation.
He did not expect to find the enemy making a sneak attack through the underground tunnel to undermine the enemy's morale, but to his surprise, a blind man did hear the sound of digging, and one after another people verified the sound.
Based on the general direction of the sound they pointed out and their description of the sound's size, the distance was calculated. Under the guidance of the advisors from the family he brought with him, he successfully confirmed the general direction of the enemy digging the tunnel.
"If you dare to use this method, then teach them a lesson. Prepare the wormwood in the city to make a ceramic pipe, and then send people to dig the cave and the opponent's tunnel, and connect them as much as possible. Wait until the two sides
After successfully docking, they used thick smoke and carried a short musket to attack in this dark and narrow environment.
The person digging the tunnel on the other side cannot have too many troops, nor can they have too sophisticated weapons. If we suddenly dig the tunnel, they will definitely panic, and there will be heavy casualties. We can even take advantage of this opportunity to select
The warriors went out of the city to fight, and then returned through the tunnel.
At that time, it will be able to destabilize the morale of the troops outside the city and create a fearful retreat." After hearing Luo Lin's request, someone immediately contacted the craftsmen in the city to build the corresponding equipment. Although they have not dealt with such primitive attacks for a long time.
Tunnel attack, but they have already had their own response plan.
