Between Bayer Country and Shattering Snow City, there is the strongest fortress on the continent. This barrier makes Reggie feel even safer.
However, there are two major roads and five small roads from Zhilin City to Lion Country. Any one of these seven roads can reach Reggie's territory, not to mention the large and small forks that extend from these roads.
This is the most troublesome part for Reggie. If Charlemagne launches a sneak attack, Reggie will be completely unable to judge the direction of his attack. Any point in his territory can become the target of Charlemagne's sneak attack. When the airship enters the battlefield, his territory will only be
I'm afraid it has already turned into a piece of scorched earth.
In the last battle, Abu marked Charlemagne's position. I'm afraid he won't have such good luck next time.
Reggie thought about setting up checkpoints on the road, but how meaningful would the checkpoints be?
Fifty soldiers are deployed at a checkpoint. Even if the soldiers are equipped with the best weapons, they may not have time to light the fuse of the bomb in front of Charlemagne's cavalry, and they will be trampled to pulp by the iron hooves of the cavalry within a few minutes.
Even if the brave soldier fired the signal flare before dying, Charlemagne could still use the subsequent forks in the road to adjust the direction of the attack. Reggie could only chase after Charlemagne, and he might not be able to beat him.
The role of the sentry tower is extraordinary. It can function as a battle fortress within a certain range. In later dramas, the sentry tower has a very high appearance rate and has almost become a must-have defensive weapon for villains.
It also has a very affectionate name, called Gun Tower.
According to Reggie's design, a gun building has three floors. The first floor is underground and is used to store weapons and food. The second floor is above ground and is mainly used to launch rockets. The third floor is a combat platform for soldiers, where soldiers can throw bombs and
Grenades, two small trebuchets are placed on the roof, and a mini hydrogen balloon that can seat two people is hidden.
Trench and barbed wire fences were set up around the gun tower, and explosives were planted in some key locations. The entire defense system was comparable to that of a small city. As long as twenty soldiers were invested, the gun tower could deal with thousands of enemy troops for at least an hour.
With this precious hour, Reggie's main force would have enough time to rush to the battlefield.
"It looks pretty good." Chris looked at Reggie's design and secretly remembered every detail.
After Reggie introduced his design, he suddenly turned to Chris and sneered, "Don't think you can use this kind of thing against me. I'm best at attacking buildings!"
"You are such a person, how could I..." Chris laughed dryly, then asked, "You want to build seven sentry towers, one on each road?"
"It's eight," Reggie said. I want to choose a core location to build a watchtower so that I can collect the signal from the watchtower as soon as possible. At the same time, I want to place the airship near the watchtower so that it can use it in the shortest time.
Get into battle.
"Seven sentry towers and one watchtower," Chris clicked his tongue and said, "This cannot be completed overnight. If you choose solid stone, it may take at least a year."
"It doesn't take that long," Reggie shook his head. "I have better materials and can complete it in three months."
"You're talking about that thing called cement," Chris said. "I'm really curious. That thing looks just like ordinary lime. Why does it become as hard as stone?"
Reggie sighed and said: "I'm also very curious. Xuexue City has no secrets for you anymore. Should I consider killing you to silence you?"
Chris laughed dryly and said: "Don't be joking, my friend, those poor captives are going to suffer. Please be kind and don't torture them too much. Although I will do it more cruelly than you, but rather than letting them die of exhaustion, it is better to let them die."
They died a quick death."
"It doesn't depend on me, it depends on Charlemagne," Reggie said. "If he could redeem them one day earlier, they would have one less day of suffering."
"I'm afraid Charlemagne won't spend a single gold coin for them."
Reggie shrugged and said: "Then there is no other way. After building the sentry tower, there are other things to do. Their hard labor life will be endless."
Chris said: "Aren't you worried that if Charlemagne really ransoms them, they will tell Charlemagne the weaknesses of the sentry tower."
"I'm a little worried," Reggie nodded. "If these prisoners opened a back door in a corner of the sentry tower, the situation would be terrible. The core part of the sentry tower will be completed by orc peons, although they
The quantity is small, but the work efficiency is unmatched.”
Reggie's description is not an exaggeration at all. The short orc peons have endless strength. They are hardworking and very serious about their work. The only problem is that they are not very good at collaboration. To be precise, they regard the work area as their own.
Territory, any form of assistance will be regarded as an infringement of the territory by him, which requires Reggie to make a detailed division of labor and clarify the scope of each orc's work.
Reggie made a construction plan, but he did not rush to start work. He spent a few days carefully selecting the location of the sentry tower.
Appropriate location is the key to the role of the sentry tower. In actual combat, the geographical advantage is even more obvious than the weapon advantage. As far as the current situation is concerned, the biggest nemesis of the sentry tower is the anti-fans of the Bayer country. How to prevent it?
The bombardment of anti-fans is Reggie’s first consideration.
After completing the site selection, Chris was once again impressed by Reggie's ability.
"Oh my God, how did you think of it!" Standing on the guard tower, Chris carefully observed the surrounding environment.
There is no smooth road around, so the enemy cannot quickly place trebuchets. The sentry tower is built in the thorns, and the enemy cannot gather troops to attack the gate of the sentry tower.
The attack range of the sentry tower covers hundreds of feet of road. If the enemy wants to ignore the sentry tower and forcefully pass through, he will pay a very heavy price.
"God," Chris sighed, "your sentry tower can already complete half of the battle for you."
Reggie said: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. The idea of the sentry tower came from the Golden Eagle Kingdom's patrol fleet. It is used to hold the enemy back while waiting for backup. This is the best method I can think of at the moment."
Chris took out a piece of parchment and secretly wrote down something. Reggie frowned and said, "Are you very idle? Why do you follow me every day? I remember that you want to help me train an army. I guess you don't
Will it make me wait too long?"
"Of course not," Chris put away the parchment in embarrassment, "I have already selected soldiers. There are a little more than we expected. Three hundred Byers and six hundred slaves. It won't take you two months."
Just see an outstanding third army."
Chris did not deceive Reggie. The Third Army had started training two days ago. Different from other people's training methods, Chris did not train the soldiers in combat skills, nor did he teach them any tactics. He did not even let the soldiers learn basic skills.
In terms of fighting methods, he only did two things, one was to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers, and the other was to improve their reaction speed to orders.
In the residence outside the city, the soldiers of the Third Army lined up in neat lines, running around the farmland in circles, sometimes running like this for a whole day.
Such boring training also attracted the envious looks of others, including Lao Yaman's two sons.
"See, this is what a man should do." Sha An put down the wooden basket in his hand. He wished he could rush over and run with the soldiers now.
"Their clothes are so beautiful," Yaman's youngest son Acton wiped the dirt from his face and whispered, "The girls are looking at them. I want a set of clothes like that too."
The two people were in a daze, and Yaman hit them hard on the head with a wooden stick.
"Do what you should do and spread the fertilizer on the land quickly."
The two brothers lifted the wooden basket with all their strength. Sha An shook his head and said: "This is so stupid. Real men should go to war instead of carrying dung here!"
