Douluo see you soon

After Cheng Ying learned about the map outside, he did not choose to attack immediately, because even if he had a certain understanding of the outside world, it was still relatively dangerous to attack proactively with the power he could accumulate in his current territory.

On the one hand, the nobles of this era can easily mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry. The advantage of cavalry on the battlefield in this era is still very large. Even though muskets have gradually appeared on the battlefield, cavalry wearing heavy armor still have a lot of trouble facing muskets.

One or two bullets with great deterrent effect may not be fatal in many cases, and the speed of their charge only leaves the musketeers with only one or two chances to shoot.

Even if the weapon is evolved to a powerful level, a bayonet can be directly installed on the firearm, and after the design is completed, it can be directly transformed into a spearman. The effect on the battlefield is still not particularly good.

Especially when facing a cavalry charge, facing that kind of pressure, even if they know that using a spear can hurt the enemy, not many soldiers may have the courage.

Cheng Ying planned to further upgrade the weapons of his soldiers before fighting out. The enemy's strength did not only lie in the large number of heavy armored cavalry, but also in the extraordinary people among them.

When they attacked this city before, this small noble had many second-level Beyonders, and some of the great nobles' Extraordinaries even had third-level or even legendary level beings. But in this era of cold weapons, they had no choice.

In this era when thermal weapons were just born, one can defeat a hundred, or even ten thousand, on the battlefield.

Especially for those legendary level beings, one person is more terrifying than an army. More importantly, they are not like an army. It is very troublesome to move. They can even disguise themselves as ordinary people and sneak into the city to assassinate. Or

It is to use powerful attacks to destroy the city.

Faced with such an existence, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to pose any threat with their weapons. Without reciprocal deterrence, unless they stick to the city wall and do not leave, it will be difficult to fight.

Even if you are defending the city wall, you must have enough artillery and the cooperation of extraordinary people to be able to defend it.

Because of this, you must farm before fighting out. Some of the nobles outside are powerful and can even recruit many legendary level experts. But he only has this city at hand now. If it does not develop to the limit,

If he takes the initiative and the advanced weapons and technologies he creates are leaked and spread, it will be difficult to complete the unification with the power at hand.

In the process of improving his own strength in farming, he also started from two angles.

One angle is to upgrade the weapons used by soldiers. Upgrade the original matchlock guns and a small number of breaking guns, upgrade the original front-loading guns to breech-loading guns, and upgrade the original lead bullets to fixed-loading bullets.

In this way, the process of loading the weapon will be much easier, and the frequency involved can also be much higher.

The most important thing is to load after using a breech-loading gun. There is no need to stand while loading. When using a front-loading gun to load, you need to stand while pouring fire into the barrel.

In this way, the formation is very important. You cannot use a prostrate posture to reduce your area in the eyes of the enemy. In this way, you can avoid the probability of being hit.

And the breech-loading gun that uses fixed bullets can shoot in most postures. In this way, even if you are lying down and hiding in a relatively concealed terrain, you can still shoot, and you can shoot in quite a few ways.

The terrain serves as a bunker, which is a great tactical advantage.

With the introduction of fixed-loaded bullets, the rate of fire of weapons will also be greatly improved in this era. The development of the future era will also prove the excellent effect of this type of weapons on the battlefield.

And this part is just the upgrade of soldiers' weapons. The emergence of steam engines will make it possible for super-standard armored trains to appear on future battlefields. This means that as long as there are railways, it will be difficult for the enemy to break through the defenses. Railways

Getting on a Mercedes-Benz armored train acts like a moving castle in a way.

In addition to the improvement of weapons and equipment, Chengying also focused a considerable part of his energy on cultivating extraordinary people.

The birth of extraordinary people is also affected by the external environment. Under normal circumstances, extraordinary people are divided into two categories. One category is the extraordinary person of the physics system, and the other category is the extraordinary person of the legal system. The latter is cherished more than the former.

, and can also play a more strategic role on the battlefield. The birth of both has a prerequisite. That is that newborns have sufficient nutrition during their growth.

In the case of insufficient nutrition, first of all, it is impossible for extraordinary people to be born during wartime. They need quite strong physical talent. If the body is not fully developed, then this talent will definitely not be realized.

It is relatively difficult for human beings in this world to become extraordinary. Even if they are well-nourished, they must carry out systematic exercise. Exercise their bodies to the limit and always have enough nutritious food to supplement them. Only in this way can

It is possible to cultivate the essence of food into extraordinary power, thus giving an extra energy in the body that can be used in battle.

Some people call it internal force, while others call it fighting spirit. These things can be attached to the human body or to weapons. As the fighting spirit in the body becomes more and more, these powers can gradually be released and used.

The power of long-range attacks will also be much greater than the original. If you can do this, you can basically be regarded as a first-level extraordinary person.

It will still be difficult to continue to improve. At this level, the importance of talent is reflected. The probability of increasing promotion through nutritional supplements is greatly reduced. The nutrients contained in ordinary food are not enough at this stage.

Now, you need some plants or the flesh and blood of extraordinary animals that have absorbed the aura of heaven and earth and grown for many years, and can also provide the nutrients needed for promotion at this stage.

As for extraordinary people of the legal system, they also need sufficient nutrition during childhood, because nutrition is not only related to the growth of muscles, but also related to the development of the brain. In the case of malnutrition, the development of intelligence will also be affected to a certain extent.

.But it may not be as affected as muscle development.

In addition, another factor that affects the birth of legal extraordinary people is the level of education. The more the brain is used, the better. In other words, people who have received sufficient education in their youth are better than those who have not.

Educated people are smarter, and intelligence often affects the birth of legal extraordinary people. Therefore, if you want to cultivate French and Western extraordinary people, in addition to sufficient nutrition, you also need a sufficiently popular education.

This is also an important reason why the number of extraordinary people of the legal system in most races and civilizations is smaller and more precious. Even for races with relatively developed civilizations, the popularity of education is relatively limited. Even for people like the elves, who have a long history.

A race that started as a civilization, it was only after they became stronger that compulsory education was completely universalized, which allowed them to become a prosperous magical civilization.

Cheng Ying is now in his own territory, trying his best to ensure the nutritional supply of children and the popularization of education. It will take at least ten years for the dividends that this can bring to him to be reflected, but he can be sure that through

The probability of cultivating extraordinary people in this way is several times higher than that of nobles in other territories.

In the future, the achievements of these extraordinary beings will be higher than those of other extraordinary beings under the rule of the aristocracy. This aspect is not the impact of adequate nutrition, but the education and training they received after becoming extraordinary beings.

Extraordinary people also need to practice corresponding skills or learn magical knowledge. If Cheng Ying can't provide the talent for a person to become an extraordinary person at this time, then he can provide the knowledge needed to practice after becoming an extraordinary person.

There is no shortage at all.

Even if necessary, he can customize the training method for an extraordinary person according to his talent, so that his talent can be brought into full play.

In this way, basically anyone who can become an extraordinary person will be able to advance to at least the second level in the future. And based on the population base of his current territory, in ten years, the number of extraordinary people will exceed a thousand, and after another five years, the number of extraordinary people will exceed one thousand.

After about three years of training, at least half of them can reach the second level, and one-fifth can reach the third level.

As for breaking through the legendary level, it is more difficult. Warrior-type Extraordinaries need to fight life and death on the battlefield before they can be promoted. Mage-type Extraordinaries need longer time and accumulate a lot of knowledge before they can complete the promotion.

.

The existence of this level is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. However, at this stage, it can already launch external conquests. Because even if it is a noble, basically no noble can gather thousands of extraordinary people to form a legion.

For such a legion, even the legendary level strong men can only retreat. In the process of training on the battlefield, legendary level strong men will inevitably be born one after another in the legion. By that time

When combined with the crushing strength of ordinary armies and the suppression of the number of Extraordinaries, external expansion becomes a matter of course.

Moreover, every time a new empire was born and successfully conquered the world, it did not always rely on the strength of these nobles. In other words, it was impossible to conquer the world with their initial strength.

In the chaotic situation of the space passage, a noble can only bring 50,000 troops at most, and there may be more Extraordinaries among them. For example, the previous family bet on this person, so they put all the Extraordinaries in the family.

All parts were centralized and handed over to him for management.

But in that case, at most, hundreds of extraordinary beings would gather together and cooperate with an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, which may seem quite intimidating, but the actual effect is far from as good as it looks.

Because this planet is too big. Fifty thousand people may be enough to rule a few cities, but if the number of cities exceeds ten, then only five thousand troops can be stationed in each city. If the number of cities continues

With expansion, the power will be diluted even less. What's more, not only cities need troops to be stationed, but towns without portals also need troops. Putting 50,000 people on the entire planet is really not enough.

What.

As for why not let a noble's subordinates gather more troops? The reason is also very simple. Without the support of a space aggregation area at the level of the imperial hub, 50,000 people are basically a large army that can maintain logistics.

To the limit, they can plunder food from nearby villages and plunder food from nearby cities to maintain their own logistics.

If the number is larger, after the invasion of void creatures is over and the space gates are redistributed, it is very likely that there will be no space gates around. As a result, a million-strong army will not be able to get supplies due to logistics and will eventually become refugees.

A situation that falls apart.

There was an empire that had done something similar before. In order to survive for eternity, in order to survive for eternity, and in order to still hold the throne after the invasion of void creatures, the empire's army was gathered together, and a million-strong army greeted them.

After the redistribution of space gates, the million-strong army only found a pair of adjacent portals nearby. A portal of this size can only maintain the strength of one prince at most. Even if the commander of the army ordered the army to move around

After searching for food and supplies to maintain the army, Songhua only lasted for less than half a year. The army did not have enough food to sustain it, and eventually had to disband the army. The originally majestic army turned into a group of refugees and bandits wandering around.

After learning this lesson, even if the later nobles wanted to leave the family's army to their descendants, they would basically selectively distribute it to different descendants, and at most it would not exceed 50,000.

In the real empire war, what can really complete the unification of the empire is to complete the conquest of other nobles during the war. Make them their younger brothers. Then in the process of conquering the empire, ask these younger brothers to control them.

Fulfill military obligations and actively send troops to cooperate when they attack the enemy.

In this way, they can gather together with different vassals to form an army of hundreds of thousands, sweep across the continent, and attack separately. Only in this way can the logistics be able to withstand this level of pressure.

Cheng Ying didn't expect to take down all the cities on the planet at once with the small amount of troops he had hoarded from farming. That was unrealistic. Even if he kept building railways, he would be able to maintain it.

The time required for logistics is also too long. I am afraid it will take hundreds of years to complete the unification of the continent by relying on this method. And by this time, the technology has already spread, and the advantages he accumulated at the beginning will be

Time no longer exists. Naturally, we need to choose the method of supporting war with war to continuously expand our own power, so as to annex all the cities on the entire planet bit by bit.
