"Tom, who is better between you swordsmen and their light cavalry?"
After a while, Yifei recovered from his fantasy, looked at Tom beside him, and asked with a smile.
"Sir, of course our swordsmen are great," Tom said very proudly after hearing Yifei's question.
"Haha, sir, don't believe what Tom says.
Swordsmen and knights are different types of arms.
There is no way to compare them together.
If we really want to compare, in terms of individual strength, swordsmen are stronger; But when the group army is fighting, without the gun wall of the halberdier, they will not be able to withstand a cavalry raid."
At this time, the armed sergeant Robbie standing aside suddenly said.
After listening to Robbie's words, Yifei figured out what was going on.
Although the light cavalry did not wear iron armor, he was still a cavalry.
The collision force caused by the galloping horses was still not something that human beings could resist.
Swordsmen with the cooperation of other arms can easily kill knights whose number is several times their own, but like a head-on confrontation between individual arms, they are the targets of defeat.
After understanding this, Yifei finally understood why in those large battles in history, the side of the pure knight army was always the loser in the battle.
That is because with the cooperation of the arms, it can use various means and terrain to win the battle.
The speed of cavalry is greatly weakened.
Cavalry without speed advantage are just waiting to be slaughtered.
However, in certain environments suitable for cavalry, cavalry are invincible, especially the heavily armored knights, who are more like steel monsters.
Time passes day by day, and seven or eight days pass in the blink of an eye.
Yifei has a deeper understanding of the differences between the system in his hand and previous games, and discovered the most significant differences.
First of all, in the previous game, soldiers did not consume any food, but in reality, these soldiers were large consumers of food.
For this reason, he had to build some buildings that produced various foods to cope with the consumption of the soldiers. , and suddenly the whole city seemed more crowded.
Except for the open space next to the bonfire at the fortress gate, there is no open space inside the castle, and there are also some more buildings outside the city next to the city wall.
The second is that he can issue orders in the virtual game interface just like the game.
As long as he is within the visible range of the map, any of his ideas can be immediately conveyed to the soldiers created by these systems.
Finally, there are the various needs of soldiers and residents.
Previously, in the game, taxes could be collected as long as the total happiness value was not negative.
However, in reality, taxes can still be collected, but the method has changed somewhat.
Every day he pays wages to the workers and soldiers in the territory.
The total monthly salary of the soldiers is equal to the price of recruiting them, and the workers are paid a uniform five gold coins a month.
After those workers received their wages, they took the money to buy food in the barn, to buy various daily necessities in various workshops, and to pay rent in the meeting hall.
In a series of transactions, they could extract some tax revenue.
At the same time, although the gold coins they paid will flow into his treasury again, on the one hand, he cannot force the citizens to spend all the gold coins they receive every day; on the other hand, those who receive large salaries, that is, those who Soldiers, he not only has to take care of food and housing, he also has to take care of wages.
In this way, after going in and out, the remaining gold coins every day are basically better than nothing.
What I can receive in my hands every day is only a few gold coins.
Thanks to those workers, some soldiers and their families, if they really follow the game Same, they are all bachelors, he will probably cry In the following days, as the number of soldiers increased, he found that his income became negative.
If he hadn't sold candles in the store every day to make some money, he might not even be able to pay his wages.
After discovering this situation, Yifei felt that the most important thing at this time was to get money.
But where could he get money?
Increase territory population and then tax It's unreliable, because some of the increased population are unemployed, that is, those squatting by the campfire waiting for work assignments.
They will not pay a penny in taxes, but will consume bread.
Just like those talents in an enterprise who have not yet been employed, they still need to receive basic wages while waiting for job assignments.
Produce various goods and sell them to the system This is even more deceptive.
The system store gave a cheap purchase price and a shady selling price, which made Yifei give up the idea instantly and refused to do transactions with the system until he had no way out.
He thought about it and found that the only feasible way was to trade with people in this world.
Why did he have this idea?

It was thanks to a hint given to him by what he had learned while cleaning the battlefield a few days ago.
After repelling the attacking orcs a few days ago, he sent some soldiers out to clean up the battlefield.
After the war, he collected more than 500 gold coins, more than 300 units of iron ingots, more than 1,000 units of meat and a large amount of meat.
A pile of useless hides.
In the hope of an unexpected gain, he sold the useless animal skins directly to the system.
However, he sold more than 10,000 gold coins, which immediately bulged his deflated pocket.
Thanks to the support of those harvests, he still has thousands of gold coins in his small treasury, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt long ago.
After discovering that the materials in this world could be converted into materials in the system, he looked forward to the orcs outside the city donating some more.
Although they are very poor, the wolf skins of more than a thousand war wolves can only be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins, but mosquito meat is also meat, and it is also a harvest for him who is now so poor that he is obsessed with money.
But a week has passed, and there has been no movement from the orcs stationed outside the castle.
They are not as brave and fearless as described in the novel.
In fact, this is also due to the fact that the archer was too tough earlier, and it has something to do with some of the buildings built behind him.
Wald, whose attack was blocked, originally wanted to wait for the tribe to send some reinforcements, then destroy the small castle that brought him shame, and then pull Yifei out on the high platform to light a sky lantern to wash away his worries. anger.
But on the second, third, and fourth days, a tall tower appeared out of thin air in the small castle in the distance.
The ferocious-looking defensive equipment placed on it made him, who had experienced many wars, He recognized it immediately, and he immediately gave up the idea completely.
He didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so no matter how provocative Yifei was in the next two days, he just didn't attack and huddled in the camp and ignored him.
And Yifei, who wholeheartedly thought about safety first and continuously strengthened the castle's defense strength, did not expect that he would vomit blood and build a tower defense one day at a time, and then look forward to making more gains when the orcs attacked again, but instead let the orcs advance.
General Wald completely gave up his desire to attack.
If he knew what happened, he would definitely vomit blood As time passed day by day, the gold coins in his hand became less and less.
Yifei frowned even more when he saw that the orcs outside the city had no hope of attacking.
I have no money, I am almost out of money, and I am panicking.
Why don’t the orcs outside attack?
How brave are you?
How fearless are you?
However, no matter how he muttered in his heart, the situation outside remained the same, and the orcs were still huddled in the camp.
Seeing this scene, Yifei had no choice but to send someone outside to see if he could find a way to get money.
After thinking about it, he decided to let the newly recruited light cavalry complete a task, which was to ask for help while claiming credit.
He wrote a letter and wrote some news about the orc attack.
Of course, he signed it by leaving his name and pressing the pattern on the ring he found.
The purpose is to let the light cavalry deliver this letter to the rulers in the rear.
The purpose is of course to defraud some rewards.
From the previous series of movements of the orcs, he analyzed where the orcs wanted to raid, but were blocked by his sudden appearance in this world.
It would be a fool not to accept meritorious service As an otaku, Yifei is certainly not a fool, and he is as shrewd as a small citizen, so in his mind he exaggerated his deeds, exaggerated the losses, and made the enemy's situation more serious.
Yes, he also asked the people below to give the light cavalry a set of bloody and tattered uniforms and a broken sword full of chips.
In this way, after everything was ready, the light cavalry embarked on the journey with his hope sjgsf0916:
