It can be said that Rowling is determined to win the castle in front of her. If she can gain control here, 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 you need 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 guard and help each other, there is still capital to occupy one side and achieve some hegemony. When the empire is rebuilt and re-divided in the future, you will definitely be able to become a prince on one side, at least a duke.
Relatively speaking, those who only occupy one portal will often be attacked by others in the process of conquering the world. They will eventually lose their territory and die in troubled times. Therefore, 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, if there is only one portal nearby, you can only occupy this one and travel hundreds of miles to conquer another portal. The loss will be too great.
According to Rowling's investigation, her luck is considered relatively good. There is another portal within 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. For logistical supplies and long-distance marches by the army, it is difficult
There are considerable requirements.
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 it is also the empire's
Foundation. Therefore, his area can only develop to the extent of controlling three portals at most.
But if his strength spans two continents, his achievements in the future will not be as simple as dividing one side. Even if someone occupies the area where the four portals are gathered and has enough power to establish an empire, he can
You can compete with the opponent. Even the existence with the empire's background cannot be eliminated within a period of time. There have been such examples in history. The power with three portals has developed enough to be strong enough to compete with the emperor in the future.
He was strong enough to be on par with the empire, and was eventually named King of Side by Side.
Later, it was because the descendants were really incompetent, which led to the deterioration of domestic management capabilities. So after the death of the founding ancestor, the country declined for generations, and was eventually raided to kill the headquarters. Under the internal and external cooperation, the transportation hub was taken away.
Only then was it 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 or not. What he has to do now is to carve out a world for his children and grandchildren. After he has conquered this world, he will see if there is still a chance to expand.
In his current situation, even if he has occupied 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, if the four portals gathered together are to serve as the foundation of the empire, they must first be on the same side.
In short, the distance between the four portals themselves is quite close. The best situation that he may appear now is that there is a closer portal on the back of one of the three portals on his current side.
Door.
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 teleportation gate. The effect is worse than the four teleportation gates on the same side. The fourth teleportation gate is equivalent to an enclave
, it 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. In history, only one person relied on this foundation to build an empire. But after building the empire, he quickly chose to move the capital. He chose one place in that era to gather five portals in one place.
The place.
At that time, he was able to achieve imperial status because the real transportation hub was occupied by two major forces. They were pulling each other, and neither of them could kill the other. As a result, he was the one who picked the peach.
What Luo Lin is looking forward to is that he will have the opportunity to copy the achievements of his ancestor. But 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 empire
These can only be discussed after we have established a firm foothold. The top priority now is to seize two relatively close transmission channels and establish our own foundation. Only then can we gradually build up our foundation in the future. Since God has given it to him, he must return it.
If it's good luck, you must seize it.
As his legion reached the enemy's city, the city lords were also panicked. What they expected was that someone could sneak attack the opponent's city. In this way, the effect of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao was achieved, and the opponent had to return to the city to defend.
But we are still in a period of chaos. The new world map is far from being explored. If such a thing as a world map exists, it is absolutely worth thousands of gold, even the most precious thing of this era. Because no one knows the transportation of this era.
Where exactly is the hub? 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 real transportation hub.
The biggest one.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, those nobles who have powerful platoons in their hands have actually not settled down yet, but are looking for transportation hubs with the largest number of portals all over the world.
They are not bandits, and 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 besieged, they hope that their neighbor's city will be destroyed.
The probability of someone coming to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao is really low. Now the city lord who is besieged doesn't even know who to turn to for help.
There were more than 2,000 troops under the city, five times his number. At this time, he was already at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. He could only be glad that he evaporated the nation immediately after discovering the portal and built a relatively thick city wall.
This city wall was already tall and majestic even in times of peace and prosperity. In his opinion, it should be able to defend his city.
If the opponent attacks by force, the losses will be huge, and there may be blood and oars floating under his city. When the opponent suffers huge losses and morale drops, he may be able to gather the elites in the city to launch an assault. Or he can fight out of the city,
Or just capture the thief directly 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 he 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, this
It is absolutely confident that it can win the city.
After taking over 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 he began to dig trenches. Although trenches have been around for a long time, the method of using them has never been determined. And this time he showed the textbook
The method of use is to dig zigzag trenches, each trench being almost parallel to the city wall. In this way, it will be difficult for weapons on the city wall to attack them. Instead, they can take this opportunity to safely approach the city wall. Whether it is a bow or arrow
Or whatever, it is difficult to shoot into a good trench at this angle. Even things like bows and arrows can only be thrown at such a large angle. And the attack power of this method is much smaller.
Just hold a board-like shield above your head. The bows and arrows falling from the sky will hardly cause any harm to the people below. And the number of artifacts in the city must be limited. After a few rounds, you will definitely be reluctant to shoot, and at such a long distance
The accuracy of the projectile is also extremely limited. Basically it will not hinder the excavation process.
When such a zigzag trench keeps getting closer, it becomes more and more difficult to hit by projectiles. Although they can shoot directly from the city wall, the angle of the trench makes it difficult for them to hit them.
The depth of the trench and the angle at which it should be dug were all calculated through precise mathematics. So much so that neither artillery nor crossbow arrows could hit the city wall.
They could only watch helplessly as they excavated a very short distance below the city. Someone began to dig out the soil in these ditches and piled them into forts. Artillery was mounted one after another, aiming at the city head and starting to fight back. The artillery on the attacking side
Obviously there are more. Now the cannons at the top of the city were immediately suppressed, and a few unlucky ones were hit and misfired. In fact, it is not necessarily that the cannons were hit and blown up. It is more likely that the gunners were injured in the process.
.
It is not easy to train a skilled gunner in this era. Profound mathematical knowledge is quite difficult for most people in this era to learn.
Without a skilled gunner to control it, the result is often a fierce output, with a record of 0-5. If you don't know how to calculate trigonometric functions or look up trigonometric function tables, then the hit of the cannonball is largely a metaphysical issue.
Even if the distance between the two sides is very close, they still can't fight if they should. On the contrary, Luo Lin's team has relevant experience and has passed down a set of function tables that are barely accurate. It can be said that he is at home on the battlefield.
.The gunner's hit rate is much higher than his opponent's.
During the continuous bombing, it has gained an absolute advantage. At the same time, the artillery bombardment continued on the city wall, which also caused the original city wall to collapse. In the process, warriors were organized under the city to plant bombs under the city wall.
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.
Soldiers holding grenade-like iron mines in their hands rushed to the city wall. There were three types of weapons they carried with them. One was a musket that could only be fired three times. It was somewhat similar to a revolver. It was 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 already 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, everyone is also equipped with a steel sword. After the distance is close enough, or after the bullets are used up, use the
Blade swinging is the most suitable way of fighting on the battlefield.
This group of people were all the most heroic people selected by Rowling in the army. Some of them were subordinates of the previously captured nobles. These people were actually very unconvinced at first, but after seeing the orderly siege,
Law, and after comparing with their own side, they must also admit that the new main attacker is more capable than the lord they were originally loyal to.
As this group of heroes rushed to the top of the city, the iron thunderbolts in their hands were thrown out with a loud bang. The defenders in the city were terrified. Coupled with their pistols that could fire continuously, they created an extremely terrifying firepower advantage in a short period of time.
The section of the city wall that they captured immediately collapsed, and a large number of 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 holding the gap in the city wall, more
Some cavalry followed the gap and entered the city.
At this time, the city was completely in chaos, and order was lost on the city walls. There were almost no casualties. This city that should have been extremely strong was attacked. Although there were still a few soldiers hiding at the teleportation gate, preparing to rely on the teleportation
The disadvantage of the gate is that it can only pass through a small number of soldiers at a time, blocking the opponent.
But as a large number of explosives were thrown from the portal, the previous warriors rushed out again, with the loaded guns in their hands. They did not fire immediately, but used the smoke of the explosion to throw out several more explosives.
A special smoke bomb reduced the surrounding visibility to the lowest level. Taking advantage of the chaotic portal, the legions rushed in quickly. Especially the cavalry was very fast. A large number of people passed through the portal in a short time and killed them.
In the city opposite the portal, infantry followed up, and a large number of artillery was brought over. Someone quickly built defenses based on the portal here. It won't take long for the portal to be occupied. The tactical level of the two sides is very different.
