Lorraine was the second group to rush to Coldwind City. This time, more than 300 people left the Black Forest in a carriage. Everyone's spirits are high, and they are all talking about the good life in the future.
The acidophilic ants led by'Da Hong' were also with him. More than two thousand large ants acted as porters and slowly carried out the equipment of the forging yard. Including forging machines and windmills, they are all bulky and bulky.
The carrying capacity of acidophilic ants should not be underestimated, and the coordination ability is even better. With a large wooden board placed on hundreds of ants as a platform, the forging machine can be transported away as a whole without disassembly.
Lorraine watched such a spectacle all the way to the destination, but before she waited for a break, an officer came to call the name and took out the city lord's order to ask her to follow.
"Go to battle?" Lorraine was taken aback, nervous to know what to do, "Your Excellency, did you make a mistake? I'm a civilian and I don't participate in combat operations."
Military officers and civilian jobs are also the management system developed by Uncle Zhou. After he returned from Banshee Castle, he got a lot of cloth. The first thing he did was to tailor uniforms for the people in his system.
The society of another world has no concept of uniforms at all. If you have money, you can wear them well, and if you don’t have money, you will be tattered. But Zhou Qingfeng has a paranoid hobby for neatness, everything from rules and regulations to behavior and even eating and drinking Lhasa.
When leaving for Coldwind City, the guards and guards wear uniform uniforms. This has a fairly obvious effect on cultivating a sense of honor and cohesion. Distinguishing the enemy from the evolving from observing the flag to observing the uniform is also a big improvement.
The military has uniforms, and civilians have uniforms. You can classify from uniforms and classify at a glance. Being able to wear the uniform issued by His Excellency Hugo is a sign of success in Harmony Village. Wearing clothes indiscriminately will be punished.
Lorraine has her own trainee clerk uniform, showing that she has escaped from the civilian class. When an officer came to recruit, she felt that she must have made a mistake. Civilian personnel are not involved in military operations.
"Eve Lorraine, you have been assigned to the Statistics Section of the City Lord's Mansion and seconded to our Fifth Action Team. You can confirm this order to the Holy Light." The officer still insisted.
Calling for the Holy Light, Lorraine confirmed that the officer's words were not wrong. She could only show her obedience, and hurriedly boarded several other modified carriages and rushed to the battlefield without entering the city.
The fifth action team, including five guard cavalry and fifty guard infantry, plus several modified heavy-duty carriages. In the team, veterans and recruits are mixed, without much training, and the team is not very tidy.
Lorraine is both a civil servant and a female, and can sit in a carriage. After she joined, she knew that the team was going to attack some small aristocratic territories near Coldwind City. Most of these nobles fled from the city, it is extremely necessary to eliminate them.
"What is my mission?"
"Responsible for the post-war count."
"Are you sure you can win?"
"Hahaha..., we will definitely win." The morale of the action team is extremely high, and the cavalry and infantry have very good fighting**. They carry weapons and guides, traveling like an outing.
The long-legged family was destroyed, and many nobles in Coldwind City died and many fled. It is impossible for Zhou Qingfeng to attack them personally, and the army he trained and integrated can come in handy.
Although these teams are still immature, the backbones are relatively reliable. As long as there are veterans, new recruits will improve quickly. As for those who are not progressing fast enough, they will naturally be cruelly eliminated.
After only half a day of departure, Lorraine's Fifth Action Team arrived at a small knight manor. The owner of the manor has apparently been on high alert recently, and when he noticed that an unfamiliar team was approaching, a warning bell rang in the manor.
The economic conditions of this small manor are extremely poor. It can only afford one or two combatants, and the rest are servants and serfs.
Several heads emerged from the wall of the manor. Someone was yelling angrily, "Barbarians of the Black Forest, get away." There are five heavy crossbows on my wall, enough to shoot through your armor. '
The action team was more than two hundred meters away from the manor, and the shouts on the fence were inaudible at all. But the heavy crossbows aimed at the wall showed the meaning. Everyone knew that the enemy would not surrender obediently, but the guards just laughed at it.
Lorraine poked his head out of the carriage and saw that he had no intention of directly attacking the fence of the manor. The infantry lifted the tarp covered on a carriage, revealing a heavy crossbow with an all-metal structure inside.
"These idiots stay and don't run away, so let them see whose heavy crossbow is stronger." With a wave of the guards officer, a guard veteran commanded several recruits to operate this novel and powerful weapon.
Lorraine had seen the heavy crossbows on the city wall, they were all big guys that were not easy to move. They have huge, heavy bases and long wooden crossbow arms. Although powerful, heavy crossbows are obviously inconvenient to carry with the army.
But this heavy crossbow is completely different. It is fixed to the carriage of the carriage and can be removed and towed if necessary. Its size is also small, the crossbow arm is forged from metal, which cannot be opened by manpower at all, and must be moved by a ratchet.
This kind of complex machinery requires a high level of forging and assembly, and the tolerance requirements between parts are relatively high, and ordinary blacksmiths cannot do this job. But its power is not inferior to the large and heavy crossbow on the wall.
The two guard recruits turned the ratchet wheel with great strength, and the metal crossbow arms began to bend. A thick crossbow with an iron arrow stuck in the chute of the heavy crossbow. The guard veteran is responsible for aiming and fine-tuning the front sight direction of the heavy crossbow.
During this period, several crossbows were shot from the wall of the manor. It's just that the distance is too far, the shot is inaccurate, and the strength is weak.
But Lorraine was shocked as he listened to the opponent's crossbow bolts passing over his head. After waiting for a while, the guard veteran operating the heavy metal crossbow stepped on the launching pedal, the curved crossbow arm released potential energy, and the articulated metal crossbow shot the crossbow arrow out.
The vibrating buzz of the metal crossbow is frightening. Lorraine was so close that he felt his heart tremble. I saw a thick crossbow whizzing out, surpassing a distance of more than two hundred meters at an extremely fast speed, and finally becoming a small dot.
The drop point is too small to be seen. Lorraine hadn't figured out that the shot was missed, but she soon heard the creak of the ratchet winding and pulling the crossbow. The winding soldiers have changed two people, because the current soldiers have only joined the army and their strength is very weak.
After several rounds of shooting in this way, Lorraine thought the battle would continue like this. The manor opposite suddenly put down the suspension bridge, opened the gate of the village, and dozens of people rushed out.
Really shabby.
The leader is probably the owner of the manor himself, riding a horse alone. Followed by his son and other attendants, besides the serfs holding the dung fork. Now even Lorraine understood that this battle was too trivial, and the opponent was defeated.
The five cavalry guards of the action team, together with the commanding officer, rushed up with their horses. The other side was still clamoring for a fair duel, so he was chopped down by the two swords that were flanked by the left and right sides.
Several bright silver rays appeared on the battlefield, and the manor master was not bad in strength. With one-to-two, under hard resistance, it's just a fall. He jumped up soon after landing and continued to fight with his knife. But another guard cavalry flanked again.
It's not fair for the cavalry to attack the lone infantry. Not to mention that there is no absolute strength advantage, there is only a dead end-Lorraine quickly saw the splash of blood and the flying head.
The serfs who rushed out of the manor had already turned around and fled, while the manor's attendants simply surrendered to their knees. This is an asymmetrical battle. The so-called nobility is nothing more than that.
