Lord of Riders

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to spread the letter," said Lord Ubai

"Okay, don't care about them, take care of our own affairs" Shao Yu didn't want to take care of the affairs of the Vaegiya Kingdom anymore, and said immediately.

Shao Yu and Lord Wubai briefly talked about the situation of the Vigia Kingdom, and then moved the topic to the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Shao Yu asked Lord Ubai to stay in Aichamore to arrange for the workers to be brought back by Alain, while he himself went to Sagitcherburg and directed the organized laborers to build the pass.

The narrowest part of the mountain pass on both sides of Sagitcherburg was only two miles wide. After some surveys, Shao Yu finally decided to build a pass in this place. On the one hand, the concentration of troops is easy to guard, on the other hand, the mountains on both sides of this pass are so steep that the enemy can't go around.

Shao Yu has become more busy these two days. On the one hand, he has to direct the construction of the pass at Sagitcherburg, and he has to return to Aichemore at night to design two models with the workers invited from the Rhodok Kingdom. New type of crossbow.

These two types of crossbows were planned by Shao Yu for a long time.

Shao Yu named the pass built in Sagitcherburg Tie Lao Pass. According to Shao Yu's design, the Iron Prison Pass was two miles long, five meters wide and ten meters high, and sealed off the entire mountain pass. This is not a small amount of work. Even if there are tens of thousands of people constructing here at the same time, it cannot be completed in three or five days. Shao Yu doesn't know how long it will take to build this gate. It is estimated that it will take at least ten days. For half a month, I only hope that the Vigia Kingdom can drag the Nords more, so that the Shao Ming Kingdom can have enough time to build the wall.

Shao Yu urged the workers to speed up the progress of the project. In order to motivate the workers, Shao Yu also specifically ordered the killing of hundreds of sheep to improve the food for the workers. With enough food, the workers who built the walls also worked harder. The iron prison gate rose one meter by one meter with the efforts of the people of Shao Yu and the Shao Ming Kingdom.

However, Zhivadin was not as quickly assaulted by the Nords as people thought.

On the contrary, Zhivadin became stronger under the continuous attack of the Nords. The Nord Kingdom and 100,000 pirates surrounded Zivadin for half a month. Zivadin’s resistance became stronger and stronger. More and more soldiers stepped up to the city to resist the Nords. attack.

After Prince Vidim succeeded to the throne, he began to open the treasury to distribute weapons and food to the civilians, and organize them for military training. More and more civilians participated in the city defense.

This is not the first time that the Nords and the Vegias have competed. This time the Nords will destroy the Kingdom of Vegia, and the Vegias have become united in an unprecedented manner.

Although the Nords' strength far surpassed the Zhivadin garrison, they couldn't help Zhivadin after half a month of siege. The Nords suffered more than half of the casualties, but failed to break through the Zivadin fortifications. Nordisk morale could not help but be greatly affected.

Zivadin was in a stalemate here. The Nords could not attack Zivadin, but they did not withdraw their troops. The Vigias held Zivadin, but they were unable to go out of the city to attack the Nord army. The two sides were in a stalemate in Zivadin. Come down.

The stalemate here provided sufficient time for Shao Yu to build the Iron Prison Pass. After a month of siege, the Nords reluctantly chose to retreat. The leader of the pirate, Drake, was killed by a mysterious man. Not long after, the rest of the Nord pirates were also swallowed by the Nord Kingdom. The Kingdom of Nord occupies most of the territory of the Kingdom of Vigia, except for Zivadin.

In this half a month, the iron prison gate of the Shao Ming Kingdom has long been completed. At the same time, due to sufficient time, Shao Yu also arranged more than one hundred small trebuchets and a large number of rocks in the iron prison gate. There are also rolling logs used to defend the city. Although Tie Lao Pass is very close to Sagitcher Fort, for the convenience of garrisoning, Shao Yu built a barracks behind Tie Lao Pass that can accommodate thousands of people.

In addition, 3,000 people were mobilized to station at Tielaoguan and Sagitcher Fort. Once Nord invaded, these soldiers and the strong walls of Tie Laoguan could become the first barrier to shield Shao Ming's kingdom.

So far, Shao Yu completely blocked the road for the Nords to advance eastward. At the same time, he gave up the territory west of Tie Lao Pass.

During this period of time, the Shao Ming Kingdom was actively preparing for war. The infantry had expanded from 5,000 to tens of thousands of horses, and the cavalry had soared from 2,000 to 5,000. In addition, there are more than 30,000 Vigeans who have migrated from the Kingdom of Vigia to the Kingdom of Shao Ming. Although Shao Yu said that he was receiving 20,000 refugees, the population is still not the better. Shao Yu is naturally not too crowded, and all the refugees who come will be accepted.

As a result, the population of the Shao Ming Kingdom expanded to nearly 100,000. At the same time, Shao Yu sent a caravan to the Kingdom of Rhodok and Swadia to purchase food to supply the growing population. Shao Yu allocated land to them and allowed them to settle in the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Since the defeat of the Kujit Khanate, the Shao Ming Kingdom's national strength has increased day by day. Now the Shao Ming Kingdom’s steel production can reach one thousand catties a day, which is enough for the chain armor configuration of 100 infantrymen. The number of various skilled workers is also increasing.

Now the number of infantry in the Shao Ming Kingdom equipped with chain armor has reached about 3,000. Shao Yu estimates that within two months, all his tens of thousands of infantry can be equipped with iron armor.

The crossbows introduced by Shao Yu have also been put into production. Among them, Shao Yu intends to manufacture five hundred heavy crossbows~www.wuxiaspot.com~1000 light crossbows and five hundred continuous crossbows in one month.

The Liannu was created by Shao Yu based on the experience of his ancestors and his own research with these workers.

The range of heavy crossbows can reach 300 meters, the range of light crossbows can reach 200 meters, and the range of continuous crossbows is only hundreds of meters, but it can be filled with ten crossbow arrows at a time. Although the power is not as powerful as the heavy crossbow, the firepower is definitely strong enough.

At the same time, Shao Yu also used the newly developed torsion spring to create a composite ballista with a range of up to 800 meters and capable of firing crossbow arrows up to two meters long. This kind of ballista requires two strong soldiers to pull, and has a slow rate of fire, but it is definitely a deadly threat to the enemy in heavy armor.

Because the manufacture of this kind of ballista is relatively cumbersome, Shao Yu only manufactured ten. Used to be placed in the iron prison.

Shao Yu allotted his most sophisticated weapons and equipment to the Tie Laoguan Garrison. The first two thousand crossbows produced were all allocated to the defenders of Tie Laoguan. In addition, three thousand hooks and sickles were deployed, three thousand faceted shields, one scimitar, and a Koujit bow for each soldier without a crossbow. There are also chain mails for each person.

The defenders at Tie Lao Pass are definitely the most well-equipped infantry in the Shao Ming Kingdom.
