Chapter 555: Let's go together "I really hope that this snow will continue to fall for a few more days, preferably another three or five months."
Chen Daolin stood on the gate of the main fortress of the northwest fortress, overlooking the north, and sighed faintly.
"I remember you said before that you hate snow."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lordelle's words.
"If this snow doesn't help me stop the orcs from moving south, I'm willing to let it go on forever."
Chen Daolin pursed his lips, and then spread his hands: "It's a pity that we all know that winter will pass sooner or later, in fact, it is almost over." ” "We've made a lot of preparations, haven't we" Luo Dale was also frowning, her frowning look was a little cute, so that Chen Daolin couldn't help but look at it twice.
"No amount of preparation is enough."
Chen Daolin shook his head.
In the past month, three "tidal magic engines" have been carried up the city walls.
Yes, there are only three.
Although the tidal magic engine he originally designed was a stupid, big black and coarse rough thing, no matter how fine it was, don't expect the craftsmanship level of this world to be able to make it, not to mention that the students and teachers of the magic academy came out with six 3wybdu, but after testing, only two could be used in the end.
Together with the prototype made by Chen Daolin himself, they were transported to the city defense of the fortress.
The city defense was originally equipped with a sturdy arrow tower, and after the ballista inside was removed and removed, a storage space was dug down, and then the southern part of the city wall was demolished and copper pipes were connected The only thing that looks a little ridiculous is the rows of small blast furnaces newly built behind the city defense.
This row of blast furnaces isn't just fun to look at, in fact, they can provide heat to the Tidal Magic engine in wartime.
That is, the fire element.
In your spare time, you can also make steel.
At present, Chen Daolin's warehouse has reserved dozens of tons of steel smelted from this small blast furnace, which is naturally inferior by the standards of the world, but in a feudal era with backward metallurgical technology, this kind of thing is enough to create the best weapons.
After looking at these steels, Montoya, who is Chen Daolin's current number one fighter, or the number one general, made a suggestion, he was very interested in these high-quality steels, and thought that he could create a batch of the best weapons and armor.
Especially for armor, this steel can be used to create the strongest full-body steel armor.
And the weight is much lighter than the current full-body armor made by the Roland Empire If only the cavalry could be equipped However, Chen Daolin said that he was not very interested in this suggestion.
If there is an abundant source of troops, it is of course a very beautiful picture to burst out the sea of cavalry and infantry, play the tactics of the sea of people, wear this superior equipment armed to the teeth, and then crush the orcs.
But Chen Daolin still had to hold back his tears to dispel this idea.
After all, when I was young, I also watched a lot of Lao Maozi's movies, Lao Maozi's tidal charge, and the picture of a large army of 10,000 people chanting "Ula" and then moving forward like a tide is indeed very beautiful and exciting.
But where do you ask Darling to find so many soldiers?
The soldiers under his command now are full of calculations.
I can't pull thousands of people The original one used to control the entry and exit of the Northwest Fortress deceived the support of dozens of chambers of commerce and thousands of guards But the problem is that businessmen are born to seek profits.
But businessmen also refuse to do loss-making business Now it seems that there is more and more information about the orcs going south, and those chambers of commerce naturally retreat.
In times of peace, it is one thing for each family to send 100 people to make a northwest trade route to divide the money.
But knowing that there was going to be a war, this trade route would definitely be abolished at this time.
Who is willing to throw the lives of their guards into the water in vain?
In fact, this winter, Chen Daolin also spent a lot of effort trying to continue to persuade those chambers of commerce.
But it didn't work out well.
Many chambers of commerce have retreated.
This phenomenon, even after defeating an attack by the orcs last time, has not been able to regain the enthusiasm of the Chamber of Commerce.
After all, they are chambers of commerce, not national governments.
Fighting a war is not within the scope of a businessman's vocation.
It is naturally good for adults to gather people to do business and make money, and it is necessary for everyone to gather people to go to war together It's better to shake your head quickly.
Several chambers of commerce have withdrawn their convoys.
There are still a few original guards who are not in place, and there is no need to count on it at this time.
The only ones who continue to support Chen Daolin are the Liszt family's Chamber of Commerce and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
Although the fat man of Anguluo has never come to the northwest, he has actually re-established contact with Chen Daolin through his chamber of commerce.
This fat man was also righteous and sent a guard of 200 people, all of whom brought their own weapons and dry food, and could fight and fight.
As for the rest, Angulo Fat Man couldn't help it, after all, An Fat Man's life in the imperial capital was not easy, and a large number of new nobles were staring at him with green eyes, trying to eat his business.
The Liszt family sent a convoy of 500 men, of which 300 were recruited mercenaries, while 200 were slaves of the Liszt family, sent in the name of Rodelle's dowry.
Brother Darling can only pinch his nose to accept it Anyway, by now, he has been tied to Rodelle, and now if he wants to say that he has parted ways with this chick, I am afraid that there is no possibility.

Especially the little girl Laudel, I'm afraid I'm just waiting for myself to touch her bed one night In other words, all the armed forces in Chen Daolin's current hands are weaker and less powerful than the last time he defeated the orc attack.
In addition to the thousands of people in his original military group, there are only the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce and the Liszt family.
With a full fight, it is already the limit to be able to make up more than 2,000 soldiers.
With such a small number of troops, how brain-dead it must be to play the tactics of hedging with the orcs Chen Daolin is absolutely sure that the next orc invasion will definitely be in tens of thousands.
As for his own soldiers, even if he gets a set of full-body steel armor and steel knives and steel blades for everyone, send them to the battlefield and fight with the orcs hand-to-hand.
It's definitely a food delivery.
Hand-to-hand combat is absolutely no need to think about it.
Chen Daolin's attention is remote.
He ordered a large number of crossbow arrows.
Then he ordered Master Kang's workshop to open up all the power to make arrowheads of all-steel This type of sword has a special name in the Roland Empire, called the Armor-Piercing Arrow.
And except for the two days of the New Year, after the New Year, almost the entire territory of Chen Daolin was mobilized, thousands of people were requisitioned, and the entire Northwest Fortress became a large construction site.
Directly north of the Northwest Fortress, several trenches were dug in the ground.
A large number of trees were cut down, and countless horses were erected, which were densely piled up on the ground north of the Northwest Fortress.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, there was a crooked trench on the ground.
Add to that the piles of horses and sharp sticks, and it's like a ruin.
If he could, of course, Chen Daolin wanted to come up with a war weapon like barbed wire.
It's a pity that the metallurgical process of this world, the technology of drawing iron wire has not yet matured, and it is too difficult to make iron wire.
A small amount of wire is not enough to lay out a sufficiently thick barbed wire fence in front of the defensive line.
Only things like moats and horses can be used as a substitute.
With these things in place to the north of the Northwest Fortress, it is possible to slow down the enemy's direct attack on the walls.
Reducing the amount of time the enemy can pass through the area covered by the defenders' crossbows and cannons, causing more damage.
This is the best way Chen Daolin can think of.
As for the Holy Order Chen Daolin is not blindly arrogant.
Orcs had a holy order more than a hundred years ago, and they had only entered the holy stage for a few days At that time, this kind of situation of Saint-level masters will really happen, and most of the pink Saint-level newcomers will not be able to beat other people's old fritters for more than a hundred years. dragging Dean Carmen together, it would be a snicker to be able to fight without winning or losing.
It's a pity that I could make a thousand guns.
Don't think about AK47 or something, don't think about Thomson submachine guns, and don't expect extravagant 38 big covers.
It's a luxury to have a thousand breech-loading rifled guns Gunpowder is not a problem.
Chen Daolin can make the best recipe in minutes.
But the problem is that the barrel can't be made Without real industry, craftsmen can't be allowed to draw rifling by hand Relying on the defense of the city, relying on a large number of armor-piercing arrows.
The magic guide cannon, as well as dozens of magicians as mobile batteries, this is Chen Daolin's defensive core tactics.
After his own calculations, on such a premise.
His own Northwest Fortress can withstand the onslaught of no more than 10,000 orc troops at most.
If it's more, then it's definitely a loss.
Of course, the premise is that the other party also has a holy rank, if the other party does not move the holy rank, Chen Daolin is confident that he can block twenty or thirty thousand orcs.
It's a big deal that he, a saint-level master, personally went into battle to do a thing of taking the head of a general in the army, and the decapitation tactic is still very effective.
"The population of the Northwest is still too small."
Chen Daolin let out a long sigh.
Luo Dale squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin: "Darling, there is a question I haven't asked you all along. ” "What" Chen Daolin frowned, looking at this chick to force marriage "If I mean if."
Rodelle sighed and said in a low voice: "If the orcs go south, we can't stop it, what are the plans to defeat you?"
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment. intend Then what else can you plan, of course, is to pull your own women and friends and let them go Barossa, Shashahuk, and a few of his apprentices are definitely going to be taken away, and this chick of Laudel is definitely going to be taken away, as for the others, Montoya thinks that he will follow him, and Baron Pierre's father and son are not embarrassed to leave it alone.
Others just Tens of thousands of believers, priests, deacons, and priests have no choice but to settle their own destiny.
Darlinggo is not a saint.
There is no great mission to save the common people.
When that time comes, you can only take your real "own people" and run as far as you can.
The country of the Roland Empire has nothing to do with itself.

In fact, if it weren't for Dean Carmen and a group of magicians to force him, Chen Daolin would have already planned to slip away.
No, more precisely.
If it weren't for Du Weiwei's woman who had yin herself, she wouldn't have sat on the crater of the Northwest Fortress "You're planning to leave, right" Rodelle already knew Chen Daolin's personality very well.
As soon as Chen Daolin's eyes rolled, he knew his thoughts.
"Even if it's it."
Chen Daolin nodded.
"Even if you go, you have to have a place to go."
Luo Daer looked left and right, lowered her voice and said: "Where to go, have you thought about whether to go to the imperial capital or Loulan City?"
This is a problem Chen Daolin's expression was awe-inspiring.
Xiluo and his Liangzi got married too much and went to the imperial capital, although Xiluo didn't dare to embarrass himself too much, after all, the name of the Holy Rank Master was not for fun.
But he also dragged his family and brought so many people, and he was easy to be grabbed and coerced by Shiloh.
It seems to be a way to get to Loulan City.
But Du Weiwei, that woman, is a little scary when you think about it.
I really went to Tulip's house and made up my mind to eat soft rice for the rest of my life Chen Daolin looked at Luo Deer's eyes, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a subordinate behind him.
"Dean Carmen is visiting."
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment.
Dean Carmen The dean didn't fiddle with magic engines in the lab, he came to the fortress to find out what he was doing But soon, the figure of the dean in a red dress floated in front of Chen Daolin.
Carmen's face was very serious, she didn't even look at Rodelle, who bowed to her, and stared at Chen Daolin with serious eyes.
Straightforwardly said what he meant.
"I decided to take a trip to the Northwest."
"Uh" Chen Daolin didn't react for a moment.
"Loulan City."
Carmen added.
Chen Daolin's face changed: "You are going to meet the people of the Tulip family" "Yes."
Carmen nodded: "The situation in the northwest can't drag on any longer, and I can't watch that little girl behave like a tulip, and the tulip family should be a pillar of the country, not a sinner."
From the bottom of his heart, Chen Daolin is naturally willing to raise his hands in agreement Isn't his current embarrassing situation just made by Du Weiwei Du Weiwei threw the Northwest Fortress to himself and withdrew the Northwest Independent Division that had been guarding here The worst thing is.
She also threatened war and did not allow Panin to send troops to take over the place, and as a result, this black cauldron could only fall on Darlingo If Paning could send a division's Thunder God Whip, why would Chen Daolin be so embarrassed But the problem is that now Du Weiwei's conspiracy has been reached.
The situation now is.
Even if Panin wanted to send someone to take over the Northwest Fortress, he couldn't send anyone.
The latest news is that Panin's army has contracted its defense.
At present, the steppe people have crossed the border of Nulin Province, besieged the defense line around Mulan City, and surrounded the base camp of Panin.
At this time, Panin did not have any troops to support him.
And Du Weiwei, the woman who has been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, probably has already smiled crookedly "It is indeed wrong for Shiloh to try to rebel against the Northwest Independent Division, violating the interests of the nobles, and even more violating the aristocratic law of the empire, but Du Weiwei has also gone too far.
Now it is the key to the fate of the country, and she can't be allowed to mess around.
Dean Carmen said in a deep voice: "I am the head of the Hogwarts branch, and I am also a member of the Tulip faction, and I also have some status in the Tulip family, I can't sit back and watch her continue to mess around, I plan to go to Loulan City and persuade her that if she is still obsessed, I also plan to lobby the family officials in the Tulip family to oppose her strategy."
Chen Daolin didn't say anything when he heard it, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart.
It is probably impossible to convince Du Weiwei that this woman knows too well herself, and the things she recognizes will not change, and when she needs it, she is more iron-blooded than a man The situation in the northwest was made up by her, this woman has too much mind, and it is estimated that she will be in the next game of big chess, and it is impossible for her to give up at this time.
Coercion by force, not to mention the strength of the Tulip family, she herself is a holy order, and she is not afraid of Carmen's holy order at all.
As for lobbying within the Tulip family, if it was before the rebellion of the Northwest Independent Division, it might be possible.
But Du Weiwei rushed thousands of miles with 3,000 cavalry, scared off Thor's whip, extinguished Sylvester's rebellion with lightning speed, and abolished Sylvester in public directly made her stand up prestige among the family's military and civilians, and she was no longer the young master who everyone in the family was dissatisfied with Today's Du Weiwei is the real owner of the Tulip family Still Since Dean Carmen is willing to touch this mold, let her go, there is no harm in it anyway.
And Du Weiwei will not do anything to hurt the dean, after all, everyone's incense is still there.
What if it happens?
Besides, Carmen is not in the Northwest Fortress, and her own pressure is lighter. best It's best if Du Weiwei buckles Carmen down and then the orcs call, and he doesn't have Dean Carmen by his side to persecute him, so he can let his legs slip away Well, that's a good choice "Darling Chen, you come with me," the dean stared at Chen Daolin and said categorically.
"Ahh “”:
