Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 176 Strikes Again
When Yan Beichen and others left, Zhang Tie and others were still building fortifications to prevent the Mongols from attacking again.

The only remaining trees in the surrounding area were cut down by Zhang Tie and others, and the area around the fort became a barren plain.

The wood was split into pieces, and the cuts were very thick, as thick as an arm.

Most of the wooden blocks were used on the walls of the fortress to build small fortresses one after another.

This small fortress is in the shape of a cube, just as tall as a person. There is only one door to enter, and the surroundings are all closed, leaving only three small holes.

It can accommodate three people at the same time, so that archers can hide inside and shoot effectively when the Mongols attack.

After this kind of fortress is built, archers will no longer have to worry about being shot by arrows. They can completely resist the bow and arrow shooting of the Mongols and counterattack from the fortress. This is currently the only one that can reduce casualties and reduce casualties. can effectively counterattack.

Of course, it is not completely safe. Arrows can still be shot into small fortresses through small holes, but if they are really shot, they can only blame their bad luck.

The damaged shield was also used again. On the basis of the original shield, a wooden board was added to allow the shield to be used again, so as to extend the life of the shield.

Before the arrival of the new shields, they could only make do with this method. Otherwise, soldiers without shields, once the Mongols attacked, would not be able to stand safely on top of the bunkers to defend, and would definitely become living targets.

And a hundred steps to the north of the bunker, Zhang Tie also ordered people to dig four horse traps, which were specially used to trap Mongolian horses.

The horse pit was five feet long, one foot wide, and three feet deep. In the pit, Zhang Tie ordered people to bury spikes made of wood, covering the entire pit floor and its surroundings.

The pits are connected like sub-words, and covered with grass and fine dust to cover them, it is difficult for enemies in the distance to detect them, especially the Mongols who drive horses at high speed must be difficult to find.

Once the Mongols driving horses at high speed fell into it, most of them would be buried in this pit.

As for the previous point, Zhang Tie also had people dig a lot of small pits, each of which was only the size of a horseshoe. The small pits were also covered with grass and fine dust, and their function was to defend against the enemy. For horses.

This kind of small pit is simply a disaster for a horse. Once a hoof of a horse running at high speed falls into the pit, the high-speed impact will directly break the horse's leg.

No matter what world or era, these two types of defenses are the best way to defend against enemy horses.

People in Biancheng County have started using these two things a long time ago, and the effect is naturally good, but they haven't been used again for many years.

These two ideas were put forward by an old soldier after the Mongols retreated, and Zhang Tie immediately approved these ideas and implemented them immediately.

Hearing the veteran's suggestion, Zhang Tie felt at the time that he really hadn't considered it thoroughly. If it wasn't for the veteran's reminder, Zhang Tie really didn't think about it.

Not only Zhang Tie's fortress was building these fortifications, but the fortress that Yan Beichen and Wei Yan were stationed after returning home was also doing similar fortifications.

It has been busy for nearly an hour. Fortunately, the current soldiers are all soldiers with superimposed attributes, and they are almost as powerful as second-rate warriors, so they can be built in just one hour.

When the soldiers were building the fortifications, the handymen were not idle, and they all cooked in the kitchen. Not only did they cook lunch, but in order to prevent the tension of the war, the handymen also made dinner.

Everyone finished their lunch in a hurry, and then continued to work on the fortifications, mainly working on some details, especially on the shield. The wooden plank must be effectively buckled with the shield, but the plank cannot be broken just because of a few arrows. If it breaks, or falls off, it would be a disaster.

While the soldiers were eating, Zhang Tie also upgraded all 25 archers who could be upgraded after this battle.

[Song tassel hat: sell for 300, weight 2.1, head defense +19. 】

The upgraded archers not only have stronger personal strength and enhanced archery skills, but also have greatly improved their weapons and equipment, especially in terms of armor. The good ones are only lower than the armor defense of infantry twenty o'clock.

Needless to say, the new weapons and equipment are all given to the upgraded archers. I believe that with their new strength, they should play a stronger role in the next battle.

Especially when the Mongols have not rushed to their own effective range, these newly upgraded archers can definitely give the Mongols a good meeting gift.

Moreover, the bows and arrows that have been eliminated can just be used by other soldiers.

Soldiers still know the basics of bows and how to use them. With the addition of great strength, they can be used as archers. Anyway, in war, even if the hit rate is not high, it can suppress It works.

What's more, in the face of hundreds of people attacking, it is impossible to really miss all the arrows.

While the soldiers were fiddling with the weapons and equipment in their hands, Zhang Tie, who had been observing the map of the system, found a black spot within the maximum limited range of the map. Immediately afterwards, a large black spot on the side moved towards the front of the middle fortress. Come on, compared to the first time, the speed this time is obviously much slower.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared in Zhang Tie's retina again.

【Ding!Task reminder! 】

[The Mongols are attacking! 】

[Mission content: Mongolia, which is connected to the border city county you manage, has launched a plunder to the border city county, defeat them, prevent them from crossing the fortress you are stationed, and protect your people. 】

[Task rewards: experience +200000, system currency +40000, reputation +1000, honor +5, domination +2. 】

[Punishment for failure: People's hearts in Biancheng County -50, the prosperity of Biancheng County is reduced, and attributes are randomly reduced by 5 points. 】

[Hint: When the popularity of the people is -10, the people will revolt against your rule. 】

Needless to say, it is still a mandatory task. Compared with the previous task, the requirements have not changed. However, in the rewards, the experience value has increased by 100000 points, and the system currency has also increased by 10000 points.

"call!"

Facing another attack by the Mongols, Zhang Tie not only did not feel nervous when looking at the more than 400 black spots on the map, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that so many people were attacking showed that this time the Mongols Still, the Central Fort was the breakthrough point, and did not go to the West Fort and East Fort.

There are two fortresses in the east and west, because Yan Beichen and Wei Yan have just returned, it is estimated that the fortifications have just started at this time, if so many Mongols go to attack, they may not be able to defend at all.

Standing by the wall of the fortress, Zhang Tie ordered to the soldiers who had been following behind him: "Go and light three more beacon fires."

This soldier was called Hon Hai, who succeeded Gao Fei and became Zhang Tie's personal guard. He usually held weapons and delivered orders for Zhang Tie.
