Riding and cutting the world,
On the edge of the Tiku River.
Zhang Qi has already brought in the two hundred fishing boats that craftsmen made during this period. In addition, the outside camps are still in full swing.
These fishing boats are not big, with a length of two to three meters and a width of 70 to 80 centimeters.
Now the place is already busy. Three thin adult men in the water are working together with the wolf cubs to lay out the fishing boats and lay the planks.
A long rope tied with stones is hung from the fishing boat as an anchor to prevent the fishing boat from floating away with the current. Then the wooden planks are laid from the shore all the way to the other shore. The wooden planks between the boats are fixed and connected with large yard nails.
These yard nails were all produced in the self-built blacksmith furnace at the riverside camp, and Zhang Qi put in a lot of effort.
In addition to the construction of the pontoon bridge, Zhang Qi is also preparing to use the transportation capacity of the ships to transport fifty Kusait troops and twenty-nine caravan troops across the river. The speed of traveling by water is really much faster than that by land. The journey that originally took many days, Zhang Qi estimated that they could arrive in ten or twenty minutes.
After several trips back and forth, Zhang Qi and a few craftsmen who knew how to operate a boat sent all the NPCs there, which took an hour or two.
The NPC soldiers crossed the river and their horses stayed in Chaikan. Zhang Qi figured out that since small fishing boats could not transport such heavy horses, he could just buy a new batch in the imperial town, even if he had to buy dozens of horses. The newly purchased horses are equipped with armor, and the cost is only a dozen or two hundred thousand dinars.
The profits from blacksmithing are endless, and there is no need for him to waste time just to save. For the rebel city, the faster they attack, the weaker their strength will be.
Zhang Qi and the others crossed the river, and the pontoon bridge continued to be laid beside the Diku River.
The manpower in the world of riding and slashing is scarce, and there is no one except those wolf cubs who have not yet grown up, so Zhang Qi spent some wisdom and brought in three craftsmen.
These craftsmen were originally loyal to Zhang Qi due to his miracles, but now they have been implanted with spiritual points, and they respect him even more.
Bringing them in was not something Zhang Qi did casually, but had deep meaning. The flow rate of the riding and slashing world was twenty-four times faster than that of the outside world. It played a vital role in the cultivation of talents, and Zhang Qi would not waste this.
With the existence of these craftsmen, the children brought in in the future can be trained in a variety of ways.
Technology is the primary productive force. If Zhang Qi wants to farm better in the outside world, it is necessary to liberate the labor force.
Stepping onto the land of the empire, Zhang Qi took a deep breath. The NPC soldiers gathered in front of him. In addition to Suo Jiaer, there were a total of eighty fully armed sergeants. The atmosphere was solemn.
He took out a cloth map from his pocket, marked their current location on it, then moved his fingers sideways and looked to the south.
Silonia is over there.
"Set off!"
The whole team stepped forward silently, and after walking to the south for about ten minutes, a fishing village appeared in front of Zhang Qi. Looking at the fishing village in front of him, Zhang Qi nodded. It seemed that the direction was not wrong, and he left the table. Lonia is also near.
This village called 'Vargenis' is marked on Zhang Qi's cloth map and is an affiliated village of Silonia.
Zhang Qi led people into the village, bought hundreds of units of fish and other food in the village, found a place to hide the food, and then continued to move south along the Diku River. Two After an hour, Zhang Qi was slightly out of breath, and Silonia also appeared in front of his eyes.
The former bird's head and tail feather flag has now been replaced by the iron fist. This is one of the eye-catching symbols of Rebel City. Villagers and caravan NPCs come and go along the way, and they have not changed at all because of Rebel City. .
Zhang Qi directly led people into the city. According to the characteristics of the world of riding and slashing, Zhang Qi has not yet attacked the rebel forces, so he can freely enter and leave the rebel city.
Bringing 80 familiar NPCs to the market, Zhang Qi swept away all the imperial horses and prairie war horses in the market.
The number of horses in a city is definitely not enough to fully arm eighty people, so Zhang Qi prioritized arming the Khan's personal guards and heavy mounted archers. As for the caravan soldiers, they should be used as infantry for the time being.
And according to Zhang Qi's plan, he should be able to obtain a batch of war horses later.
After sweeping away all the horses, food, and harnesses in the market, Zhang Qi led the people out of the rebel city.
It's not that he doesn't want to occupy this place directly, but that he can't do it. Today, the world still relies on the original program. If he launches an attack directly in the city, his advantage will be reduced without limit.
The mobility advantages of the Khan's personal guards and heavily armored cavalry archers could not be realized, and the rebel city's army was intact because the rebel generals in the city were not attacked. Then he would face an army several times his size.
Therefore, Zhang Qi took advantage of the fact that these NPCs were still NPCs and wanted to encroach on this rebel city in batches.
This is why he bought up all the food in Silonia.
Every city has a need for food, and the source of food is the market and the supplement of villagers' caravans. Although there are not many people in the city, according to the data, every city consumes food every day.
If there is not enough food in the city, the holders of the town will go out of the city to the village to buy it.
What Zhang Qi wants is this opportunity.
I bought fish and food in the fishing village before and hid it for this reason.
Regardless of whether it is scientific or not, the NPC just knows that there is no real object there, so it will head towards the second village in Silonia.
Zhang Qi and the others are now ambushing on the only way to that village.
The wind in the riding and slashing world is warm and peaceful.
Zhang Qi hid a dozen caravan-type archery units on a high slope, and other melee units guarded the left and right sides.
Hachin did not run for business, but was temporarily designated as the shooter captain by him.
Below the high slope, the Khan's personal guards and heavily armored cavalry and archers waited solemnly, and time passed little by little.
I don’t know how long it took, but the heavy sound of horse hooves woke up Zhang Qi who was thinking about the problem on the high slope. He immediately stood up and raised his hands to his eyes.
Under the sun, he had an excellent view. A few hundred meters away, an army of hundreds of people was coming this way.
The flying flag could not be seen clearly due to the distance, but Zhang Qi concluded that it was most likely the rebel leader.
"Come to life!"
"Archers on standby."
"The cavalry archer is coming with me!"
"drive!"
He turned over and rode on his newly purchased Varyag hot-blooded horse. The hot-blooded horse covered with scales and armor was extraordinary, and Zhang Qi himself was also fully armed at the moment.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled.
A puff of smoke and dust rose up from the ground.
As the distance between him and the other party narrowed, Zhang Qi also saw clearly that this army was the leader of the rebel city.
There were seven or eight well-dressed men at the front, more than twenty imperial infantrymen in the middle, and finally, almost a hundred ragged recruits of the militia.
"be able to eat!"
Zhang Qi shouted loudly, then pulled the reins to position himself a few dozen meters in front of the rebels.
Take out your bow and arrows and bend your bow.
Buzz——
The string of the noble's recurve bow sounded dull, and the arrow flew out of his hand.
As the arrow flew out, there was a buzzing sound.
Fifty arrows followed Zhang Qi's arrows and enveloped the opponent like rain.
Bang bang bang——
The arrows flew up into the sky, and then rained like waterfalls under the gravity. The dull rebel NPCs had no idea of evading. After Zhang Qi's attack, they immediately rushed towards this side.
There were more than a dozen corpses left on the spot. After Zhang Qi shot an arrow, he shouted loudly, and the entire army headed towards the direction they came from.
While galloping, the Khan's bodyguards and heavy cavalry archers were still able to fight back, but due to the formation, only the few hanging at the end of the team were able to shoot arrows.
