On the forum, the details of the defensive battle in Bangalore Town have been disclosed by players.
Bangalore town also has tall city walls, the difference is that their city walls are made of rammed loess, with only a layer of green bricks built on the outside, unlike Shanhai Town, which is all stone.
There are 2,000 soldiers participating in the defense of Bangalore Town. The number of attacking bandits was about 6,200, more than three times that of the defending troops.
Unlike Shanhai Town, there are only three gates. Bangalore Town has a standard four gates, so the defensive task is much heavier than that of Shanhai Town. The rogues were also cunning, they not only encircled the three and one, but also adopted the tactics of feigning attacks from two sides, but in fact they specialized in one branch.
In the morning, the rogues only launched a tentative attack, and the three sides attacked equally. Diwala, the lord of Bangalore Town, was confused by the tactics of the rogues. Taking advantage of the truce at noon, he re-adjusted the defensive deployment of the city wall, and arranged the defensive forces on the three sides very evenly.
When attacking in the afternoon, the murderous intent of the rogues was gradually revealed. On the surface, the number of rogues attacking from three sides was comparable to that in the morning, still more than 2,000 per side. In fact, taking advantage of the truce at noon, the bandits have already reorganized their troops. Distribute the ordinary rogues to the east and west sides; gather all the elite rogues together and attack the north gate with all their strength.
As a result, the North Gate was immediately in a hurry. After Diwala discovered the plot of the rogues, all three aspects had already been handed over. If you adjust the deployment of the army hastily, it will give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of. In desperation, Diwara could only grit his teeth and persist, hoping that the north gate could last until the east and west sides cleared the siege, and then came to reinforce.
It is a pity that after an afternoon of fierce fighting, the north gate of Bangalore Town was not defended after all under the strong attack of the elite rogues. As soon as the north gate was broken, the entire Bangalore town was in a panic under the chain reaction. Not long after, it was captured by rogue bandits.
After capturing the town of Bangalore, the rogues did not carry out a massacre, but ran away after looting the town. This is also the result of the system's deliberate arrangement, leaving room for failed territories.
Strictly speaking, Diwara's command can be regarded as quite satisfactory, and he didn't make any big mistakes. Unfortunately, he was still no match for the cunning of the bandits after all, and he regretted losing.
With this failure, it will take at least half a month for Bangalore Town to regain its vitality.
Two consecutive failures sounded the alarm for all the lord players. No territory dared to take chances and apply to the system for promotion.
After learning that Bangalore Town failed, Dichen's heart sank. He already had a bad feeling. His Handan Town was not as good as Bangalore Town in terms of defensive strength. How could he have the confidence to win. Di Chen already felt somewhat regretful about his conflict of spirits this time. It's a pity that there is no turning back when the bow is opened. Di Chen could only take his Handan Town to Hei all the way.
After the failure of Bangalore Town, the eyes of the whole world were all focused on Liberty Town in the United States. Jack Dawson is very confident, threatening that Liberty Town will never repeat the mistakes of Bangalore Town, and will definitely win the honor of the number one county in the world.
In order to show his confidence, Jack also announced that tomorrow, someone will be arranged to broadcast the details of the defense of Liberty Town on the forum. All players are welcome to watch.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, the Americans were still so confident. He admired Jack's self-confidence a little bit. As a lord, he needs this kind of aura of giving up.
It seems that there is really a good show tomorrow. Since Jack is so confident, he must really have a trump card. This American is no fool.
Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that the honor of the number one county in the world in his previous life was won by Freedom Town. Just in terms of time, it should be a little later.
Perhaps it was the birth of Shanhai Town that brought great pressure to Jack and the others. After learning that there was a campaign mission in China, Jack applied to the system for promotion without hesitation.
Jack is very clear that once the battle is over, Shanhai Town will definitely apply to the system for promotion as soon as possible. After losing the honor of being the number one town in the world, Jack didn't want to give up the honor of being the number one county in the world.
…
On May 19th, Ouyang Shuo logged into the game on time.
Early in the morning, the cavalry battalion stationed in Friendship Town and the urban defense battalion in Yushui Town left their camps one after another and entered the base camp. Although 2,000 troops were stationed at once, the high-level barracks in the city didn't look crowded at all. When the military camp in the city was planned, it was originally built according to the scale of the future imperial guards.
After the troops of the two battalions crossed the river, at the crossing of the three towns, they immediately moved into action. The chariots and horses took all the boats at the ferry to the city to prevent them from being found by the bandits and used them to cross the river.
In this way, unless the rogues investigate the city defense situation of Shanhai Town in advance, they know that Shanhai Town has a moat, and they have to take the trouble to bring a large number of ships. Otherwise, the risk of rogue bandits besieging the north and east gates of Shanhai Town on a large scale is basically eliminated.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the battalions were already in place, Ouyang Shuo summoned several generals and held a brief military meeting, mainly to coordinate the distribution of defense areas among the battalions.
After negotiation, it was finally decided that the Shanhai Town Defense Battalion was in charge of the West Gate Defense Zone, the four squadrons of the Yushui Town City Defense Battalion except the Cavalry Squadron were in charge of the North Gate Defense Zone, and 500 reserve troops were in charge of the East Gate Defense Zone.
The cavalry battalion, together with the cavalry squadron of the city defense battalion of Yushui Town, was deployed at the west gate as a mobile force, ready to attack at any time.
As for the two infantry battalions of the west camp, the first infantry battalion and the two squadrons of the second infantry battalion were deployed on the west gate wall to assist the Shanhai town's urban defense battalion in defense. The remaining three squadrons of the Second Infantry Battalion were deployed on the north gate wall to assist the defense battalion of Yushui Town.
It can be seen that Ximen will be the key defense direction, and a total of 1,800 people have been deployed. Moreover, the big killer weapons, three bows, eight bull bed crossbows and fierce fire oil tanks, were all arranged in the west gate.
Relatively speaking, the defense of the north gate is weaker, with only 700 people deployed.
One is the limited space outside the north gate, and the other is the protection of the moat. Even if the rogues want to play tricks and cross the moat, the gain is not worth the loss, so Ouyang Shuo is very relieved.
In addition, the First Battalion of the North Sea Fleet will also leave the Shanhai Town Wharf tomorrow morning and head to the Friendship River in the north to assist in the defense of the North Gate. If the rogues wanted to attack by water, then they would have made the wrong idea, and the North Sea Fleet would definitely give them a head-on blow.
As for the east side, I believe that the rogues would not be so stupid to go around in such a large circle and go to the east gate to attack. If that's the case, I believe that the 500 reserve troops deployed will last until the reinforcements arrive. Moreover, the periphery of the east gate is completely divided into two halves by the moat, which is a dead place, which is really not suitable for siege troops.
The only weakness of the East Gate is the fear of foreign enemies attacking from the sea, passing through the canyon, and then landing to fight. Even a little more abnormal, using the situation of small warships landing and fighting, directly go up the moat, drive the warships to the foot of the east wall, and then use the cover of the warships to counter the defenders with bows and arrows.
This kind of situation is almost impossible. The second battalion of the North Sea Fleet deployed in Beihai Town is not a decoration. They firmly guard the entrance to the sea. If they want to pass through the canyon, they must break through the defense line of the North Sea Fleet.
At this time, we can see the benefits of Ouyang Shuo's careful choice of the location to build the village. Backed by the mountains, there is no worries at all, and the defense problem in the south of Shanhai Town is completely solved. A big river surrounds the north and east of Shanhai Town, which is almost equivalent to removing the threat on the east side and greatly weakening the threat on the north side.
It is precisely because of such a unique advantage that Shanhai Town can deploy heavy troops in Ximen.
Starting at ten o'clock in the morning, the residents of the settlements outside the city, under the leadership of Li Zheng, will arrange their board and lodging uniformly by the officials of the Administration Department. All the residents were temporarily resettled in residential areas in the city, assigned to each household, and the residents in the city were responsible for their board and lodging. The Finance Department has special financial subsidies for each household.
This arrangement, on the one hand, prevents these immigrants from setting up tents in the city, affecting the public security in the city, and increasing the management difficulty of the Public Security Department. The second is to facilitate the monitoring of immigrants to prevent rogues from mixing with immigrants.
Yesterday afternoon, the Administrative Office made it very clear from door to door that residents in the city were responsible for surveillance, and if they found anything unusual, they had to report it to the Department of Public Security immediately. Those who conceal and fail to report will be transferred to the Criminal Division for punishment.
Ouyang Shuo was giving full play to the power of the masses and preventing the infiltration of bandits to the greatest extent.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the last residents of the settlement entered the city. The Military Affairs Administration immediately ordered that all the gates of the city be sealed off, and all personnel were only allowed to enter but not to exit.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Beihai Town sent the income of Beimu Salt Field in the first half of May.
In late April, a large number of captives from the Haifeng Tribe were sent to Beimu Saltworks, which had been expanded to the largest scale of 10,000 mu. Therefore, in the first half of the month alone, Beimu Saltworks realized a net profit of 3,600 gold coins, equivalent to the profit of the entire month of April.
100 cavalry and 200 infantry are transferred, and it costs 250 gold coins.
Ouyang Shuo withheld 2000 gold coins, and the remaining 1350 gold coins were injected into the Four Seas Bank by him. With the expansion of the size of the territory and the opening of branches in the three major subsidiary territories, the reserves of the Four Seas Bank have been somewhat stretched. If it hadn't been for the Finance Department to transfer the support funds through the Four Seas Bank, it would have been impossible to maintain it long ago.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, good news finally came from the weapons workshop. After two days and one night of overtime work, the weapons workshop finally built two fierce oil tanks. These two fierce oil tanks were arranged by Ouyang Shuo at the west gate.
