Lord of Riders

The Shao Ming Kingdom restricted the population growth of the Shao Ming Kingdom after the new immigration law.

In fact, it is also a means of hunger marketing.

Today, only the people of the Shao Ming Kingdom are relatively safe on the Calradia continent. Although the Shao Ming Kingdom is also in constant wars, there are still very few countries that have hit the Shao Ming Kingdom’s mainland.

Now Shao Yu can basically control the war outside the Shao Ming Kingdom.

As long as fighting on a country’s territory, no matter what the country’s final victory or defeat, the country will be harmed to a certain extent, and the lives and safety of the people will also be affected.

The Shao Ming Kingdom is now a relatively ideal place.

Not only is the economy prosperous, the taxation of civilians is low, but the lives of the people are also guaranteed.

Although the recruitment rate of the Shao Ming Kingdom is the highest in Calradia. But the battle damage in the battle is getting lower and lower.

This is something no other country can do.

After Shao Yu implemented the new requirement of becoming a citizen of the Shao Ming Kingdom, the number of the Shao Ming Kingdom’s army reserve began to increase. Many refugees hope to join the Shao Ming Kingdom through this method.

In fact, what Shao Yu adopted at this time was also the method used by the Blue Star Roman Empire before. To enrich the army by recruiting foreign mercenaries, those mercenaries can become Roman citizens after their service period meets certain requirements.

Now Shao Yu began to paint gourds, but Shao Yu's current situation is much simpler than in the previous Roman Empire. Because the Shao Ming Kingdom was originally a multi-ethnic country, the people have adapted to accept people from other ethnic groups. Unlike during the Roman Empire, there were still many contradictions between the Romans and other foreigners.

People of other nationalities slowly began to dominate these things.

In the Shao Ming Kingdom, everyone is equal. After so long of war, all ethnic groups in the Shao Ming Kingdom can accept each other and live in friendship.

After the Great War of Dehrim, all the countries on the Calradia continent have ceased.

The Nord Kingdom also began to truce and restore its national strength, while waiting for reinforcements from the Anglo-Saxon Empire to prepare for another fight. Therefore, there was no immediate attack on the restoration forces of the Kingdom of Virginia.

During this period, King Vidim's strength also took the opportunity to slowly grow. King Vidim’s army was built and expanded to 50,000 horses in a short period of time.

Many Virginians have invested in Vidim's banner. Although the former lords exploited these civilians very much. But the people of the Kingdom of Virginia are still their country and nation. His lord king is no better than those invaders.

King Vidim quickly gathered his army and captured two castles near Kudan. Tens of thousands of casualties were killed and more than three thousand Nord soldiers were wiped out.

Vidim also realized that his soldiers were too poorly equipped, and he might still make a living defending the city, but the cost to siege the city was still too great. Vidim immediately stopped the active attack and slowly recovered his strength in Kudan.

Regarding Vidim's attack, King Ragnar was not eager to regain lost ground. After all, the other party still has tens of thousands of horses, and even if he retakes Kudan, he will suffer heavy casualties.

Ragnar knew the ambitions of the Anglo-Saxon Empire, so naturally he didn't want to be cannon fodder.

As a result, the Calradia continent has once again entered a period of relative peace. Although all countries are actively preparing for war, on the surface, all countries seem to be very harmonious.

Including the Anglo-Saxon Army and Tiger Shark Fleet that have been harassing the Kingdom of Rhodok, they have also stopped a lot recently. After the Rhodok Kingdom looted and captured many civilians, the Tiger Shark fleet also withdrew from the Rhodok Kingdom.

Tens of thousands of armies were still hoarding in the southern part of the Rhodok Kingdom, but they did not continue their offensive.

The gaps in the war are not preparations for peace. It is to plan a larger war. Obviously the situation now belongs to the latter.

The Shao Ming Kingdom expanded its army half a month after the Kudan war.

Shao Yu expanded 10,000 infantrymen, all trained to be crossbowmen.

Crossbowmen play an important role in war, and crossbowmen are also very easy to train. They don't need to be trained for a long time like those melee units, but also sophisticated armors and weapons.

A long-range crossbowman in the rear can easily kill a reloaded knight who has been trained for several years and more than ten years as long as he can open the crossbow, take aim, and practice for a period of time.

Shao Yu is now also considering transforming the crossbow of the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Today, the main equipment of the Shao Ming Kingdom is a heavy crossbow with a range of about 400 meters. Such a heavy crossbow has a long range and great power, and can also be used for mass production of equipment, but Shao Yu is still not satisfied.

Shao Yu hopes to produce a crossbow with a longer range and stronger penetrating power.

The best range can reach more than 600 meters.

Shao Yu believes that long-range weapons play a very important role on the battlefield.

Let the enemy not approach you, but kill the opponent farther away, it can be said to be king. The ancients said that one inch is long and one inch is strong. This has also been well proven in actual warfare.

Just like the continuous upgrading of weapons, from the beginning of humans using stone hunting, to the use of throwing spears, sling bags, and then to the appearance of ordinary wooden bows and bamboo bows, then there appeared more powerful and longer range compound bows. Crossbows entered the stage of history, and the subsequent appearance of guns began to force these crossbows to be slowly eliminated.

In the future, the development of intercontinental missile weapons is always going further! Longer direction. Shao Yu naturally understands this truth too. Therefore, Shao Yu should focus on the development of crossbow troops.

If conditions are ripe, Shao Yu also envisions building his own artillery

Of course, there is no gunpowder now, and these are just fantasies.

After the expansion of 10,000 horses ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shao Yu began to give orders to manufacture heavy crossbows in the domestic arsenal. At the same time, they began to bring a group of capable craftsmen to study longer-range and more powerful long-range weapons.

Although the current war has ceased for a short time, Shao Yu understands that the one welcoming himself and the Shao Ming Kingdom will be a war on a larger scale and a stronger enemy.

Only by stepping up time to strengthen one's own strength can we win the final victory on the ever-changing continent and gain an advantageous position in this war of hegemony and resistance to invasion.

The Shao Ming Kingdom can now produce hundreds of cavalry plates a day. At the same time, more than two hundred crossbows can be made in one day.

In addition to producing weapons and expanding the army, Shao Yu also established Calradia’s first mercenary guild in Aichamore. To restrain these mercenaries, but also to provide them with corresponding services and protection.

Mercenaries can get employment tasks here, and the guild guarantees that they get commissions from their employers.

Because there are a large number of merchants and caravans, the mercenaries of the Shao Ming Kingdom do not worry about no tasks.
