Chapter 107 City Defense System
Because Wang Le has been going through bank loan procedures and bail punishment for military registration in Reese City, he never came back.
After Wang Le learned that the Yuwen family would not embarrass him for the time being, he sent senior Swedish swordsmen back one after another, leaving only a few people around as guards.
Wang Ziming knew that everything was going well on Wang Le's side through these veteran Swedish swordsmen who came back, but the Federal Colonial Bank didn't seem to believe that Wang Ziming could hold on to the magic stone mine for a long time, and kept delaying the lending time...
This can also be regarded as a test of the strength of Wang Ziming's subordinates. If they can't hold it for a week, the Federal Colonial Bank will naturally not pay for it!
After all, this is the first loan business accepted by the Federal Colonial Bank for the owner of a magic stone mine in the Devil's Mountain Range. In the past, no such crazy person dared to establish a long-term stronghold in the Devil's Mountain Range, let alone occupy a natural attraction for demonized creatures. Attack on the Magic Stone Mine!
Things were going well in Reese City, so Wang Ziming naturally put the main expansion energy in the different space.
On the night of the 20th, Wang Ziming exchanged all the magic stone mines that had been intensively mined during this period in exchange for cheap and easy-to-use senior Swedish town militiamen.
The number of senior Swedish town militiamen increased to 1533 men.
After everything was ready, Wang Ziming's consciousness followed the mighty army to the town of Polotsk under the rule of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.
Before the army set off, a small team of more than 50 people disguised as an ordinary caravan slowly marched towards Polotsk. Two separate teams were clearly visible on the small map, and each team could provide a certain vision.
However, Wang Ziming's consciousness must be like playing Age of Empires, and he must go to the sky above one of the teams to see their field of vision, which means that Wang Ziming can only see the field of vision of one team at a time!
Of course, Wang Ziming's consciousness can move and fly unimpeded over different spaces, and he can run back and forth between the two teams, which is a bit like the two-line operation when playing games, but it's a pity that he can't click the small map to directly To pull the field of vision over, you have to 'fly' over by yourself a little bit...
When flying, it is inevitable to cross a large dark area. Fortunately, there is a small map to guide Wang Ziming's consciousness without worrying about getting lost.
This point let Wang Ziming know that he can only command one army to fight at the same time, and it is difficult to command two armies that are too far apart.
This small team of more than 50 people disguised as a caravan, one of them was Li Feiyan, who was the commander of the whole team and Wang Ziming's mouthpiece.
The rest are all Tier 4 Swedish pistol cavalry!
Therefore, everyone in the entire caravan is riding a horse, carrying a two-handed sword on his back, and a high-quality pistol hanging from his waist. The dazzling full-body plate armor of the Swedish pistol cavalry is hidden on the caravan's cargo carriage.
Naturally, these wagons were trophies seized by Wang Ziming's men when they burned the village.
But even without armor, the weapons used by this Swedish pistol cavalry disguised caravan can be regarded as luxurious and high-end in caravan guards.
The salary of caravan guards is generally much lower than that of mercenaries who undertake war missions. They are not rich, and most of the weapons and equipment they use are second-hand and outdated equipment.
However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Swedish pistol cavalry, Wang Ziming could not continue to weaken them.
Anyway, those Polish patrols will not scrutinize the caravan escort weapons and equipment.
Of course, if there are too many people in the city, it is easy to be exposed, but Wang Ziming didn't intend to let them pretend for too long.
Since it is a war period, there will be patrols outside every Polish town, and as long as a large army is found, the town will be notified immediately.
So Wang Ziming's main force stopped outside the patrol circle in the town of Polotsk, waiting for the next order.
During this period, if a patrol team from the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania passed by, they would ignore Wang Ziming's team that did not enter the town's security circle. After all, this army did not deliver any supplies, and it seemed that there was no oily water. Naturally, the Polish patrol team would not be interested. ...
The current Polish patrol still regards itself as the ruler of this land, so it does not regard Wang Ziming's army as an enemy.
This is also one of the benefits that the different space gave to Wang Ziming.
With an epee hanging from her waist and a barely-handy pistol, Li Feiyan sat on a group of pack horses pulling carts, and slowly moved forward with the entire 'caravan'.
After bribing the patrols seen along the way with some prepared food supplies as tolls, the entire caravan came to the gate of Polotsk town without any danger.
It is said that they are towns, but they can also be regarded as fortresses for military purposes. Like the main city, these towns are not only the economic, administrative and military centers of a region, but also a military stronghold.
It's just that the scale of the main city is far larger than that of the town, and the government level inside is also higher.
The capital of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is Krakow, where the city defense system is undoubtedly the strongest, and the number of troops stationed there is also the largest!
Of course, the hidden wealth is also the most amazing!
Like other towns in Polotsk, there are more than a dozen Polish musket militias at the gates responsible for collecting city entry taxes, which are also an important source of income for town lords.
As an ordinary town, Polotsk has only one outer city wall, but it is covered with raised semicircular shooting fulcrums, similar to the design of a diamond-shaped fortress, and the attacking army is vulnerable to fire from the side walls when they ascend the city. .
There are covered crenels on the city walls. Musketeers can extend their muzzles out of the crenels when shooting, and hide behind the crenels when loading, effectively reducing casualties during combat.
With this alone, the musketeers defending the city can face two or three times the musketeers of the siege troops at the same time without falling behind!
In addition, there is a row of ditches covered with sharp wooden stakes outside the city wall. If the siege troops want to put the ladder on the city wall, they must first fill up these ditches...
It can be foreseen how fierce the firepower will be suffered by the siege troops when filling the pit!
It is not easy to attack such a fortress town without artillery!
The only good news is that the city wall of Polotsk is not too high, only about four or five meters, and any ordinary ladder can be erected.
The city gate is a suspension bridge, which is usually laid flat on the ditch to serve as a passing bridge, and it is pulled up to close the city gate during battles, so that the entire city wall is isolated by the ditch.
Looking up at the city wall of Polotsk, Li Feiyan couldn't help but sighed and said, It's still the ancestor who had the foresight. If this kind of city is attacked by force, I don't know how many people will die...
Return to normal update time, there is still in the evening
