Chapter 435: Then pray hard!
[Shipyard]: Can produce large ships "Ocean-going Gunboats".
Construction requirements: 5000 units of wood, 2000 units of stone, 1000 units of iron ingots, 8000 units of gold coins.
Can only be built in the base camp city and requires the existence of a port.
[Ocean-going gunboat]: can accommodate 30-120 people, (to sail and maintain a minimum attack, a minimum of 30 people is required, and a minimum of 60 people are required to maximize the attack effect)
The attack method is siege attack (affected by ballistics and archery): 350
Defense: 150 (city wall defense)
Durability: 5000
Ammunition 55, range 1000
Construction requires 2000 wood, 5000 gold coins, 200 iron ingots, and 360 hours of work.
Note: After the gunboat is destroyed, all crew members will fall overboard.
After falling into the water, except for flying units, ocean units and units with related characteristics such as "swimming" and "diving", the health value will continue to decrease.
The shipyard is considered a high-end blueprint, and it should have been revealed by the elite thieves construction.
The ocean-going gunboats that can be built are also very powerful, but unfortunately their construction requires ports, which means they can only be built in coastal cities.
When Xu came here, there was only one Swan Lake. It was enough to produce a few fishing boats from a small shipyard. Even the small arrow boat produced before was of no use.
However, this blueprint may be sold to that Naga city.
Wei Yihong has successfully established business relationships with that city, but although humans and Nagas coexist in that town, it is the Nagas who make the main decisions.
The current transactions between the two parties mainly involve the exchange of Qingfeng City's crystals and horses with the other party's catches and aquatic products.
At present, the transaction level of both parties is not high enough, and the transaction volume is not large.
But Wei Yihong told Xu Lai that the small town was only a town-level city.
But it was because the Nagas built this town with the help of human qualifications in order to have a trading platform on land.
In fact, the entire town was basically invested and built by the Nagas.
And in the ocean, the Nagas also have an underwater city.
It's just that ordinary people can't go to this underwater city. Even if they have the characteristics of diving, they won't be able to persist for too long.
If the other party is interested in this drawing, you may be able to take the opportunity to start deeper cooperation with the other party.
In addition, by destroying the stronghold, a large amount of wood, a small amount of stone and other resources were obtained.
Without the heart of the castle, a large number of cottage buildings, mainly private houses, secret rooms, Juyi halls and other buildings, all collapsed instantly.
The few remaining buildings cannot accommodate too many people to rest.
Of course, Xu Lai must have a place. The angels need to be on duty in shifts, and only half of them need to rest.
Taking advantage of the night, a horse thief sneaked away.
Xu Lai had already expected this kind of thing, and Elvi had already been flying in the sky with night vision goggles.
In the middle of the night, the horse thieves squatting and sleeping at the gate of the original cottage were frightened half to death by the heads falling from the sky, which actually kept many horse thieves awake all night.
The few private houses are all occupied by women and children. As for the elderly, injured and physically handicapped, they sleep outside like horse thieves.
The weather was extremely cold at night. Even if Xu Lai did not strip the horse thieves of their clothes, many people were shivering from the cold.
Xu Lai got up early in the morning and found that many of the older and physically disabled people were dead, all of them frozen to death.
In fact, among the horse thieves, most people don't live long. Those who can live a long time either have a backer or have some status.
There are also those who are disabled. Needless to say, they must have been disabled when they went out to rob.
In short, these people did a lot of bad things, and Xu Lai had no sympathy for them at all.
After a night's rest, Xu Lai stretched out feeling refreshed.
The leader who was sent by Xu Lai to dig out the heart of the castle was considered to be reused by Xu Lai and became the manager of this group of horse thieves.
Xu Lai didn't know if he slept well last night. Anyway, as soon as Xu Lai came out, this guy came up to him quickly.
After all, he is a level 5 warrior. With his physique, even if he does not sleep for a day, the impact will not be too great.
“Go find something for them to eat. I’ll give you an hour. After an hour, everyone will gather and transport the remaining supplies to Qingfeng City.
In addition, I I'll give you a few places and find a few people you can trust.
Whatever you and these people do, I can forget about it.
However, the premise is that you have to help me keep an eye on these people. I want to take them back to mine. There must be no less than one person, and no one can be lazy.
Can it be done? "
The commander hesitantly asked Xu Lai: "Then, do we still have to work? "
Xu Lai said: "In principle, there is no need. You will all be managers from now on. You just need to eat and drink every day and look after people." ”
“Then, what about lack of principles? ”
Xu Lai smiled slightly and said:
"Ignorance means that their work did not meet my requirements. Then, all the work they owe needs you to make up for it. Do you understand me?"
The commander swallowed hard and nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Xu Lai nodded and said: "That's good, then go wash up and eat, early Eat well and get on your way early.”
An hour later, Xu Lai called them to set off on time.
There were more than 3,000 people in total, most of them were horse thieves in their prime.
A small number of them are family members of the horse thieves, about less than 1,000 people. According to Xu Lai's request, most of the people here must serve, including women and children.
These people follow the horse thieves and do a lot of evil. People who really do no evil at all will hardly live long.
Of course, some are forced, and some are newly robbed and are truly innocent.
But Xu Lai couldn't tell them one by one, so he might as well send them back to Qingfeng City and let Su Ya make the decision.
According to the direction Xu Lai pointed, a group of horse thieves were all carrying a lot of belongings. After walking for a long time, the leader finally realized what they were doing.
These people are the only ones with privileges. Most others run away, and only they can ride horses.
"You, won't you go back with us?"
Xu Lai shook his head and said: "You go forward, at the current speed, someone will naturally appear for you by noon Show the way.
My people will only watch you from the sky.
If anyone escapes, they will suffer the same fate as those people last night.
But if I am not satisfied with the number of people arriving in Qingfeng City, then I will have to ask you and your people to make up for it. "
"But, what if someone falls behind along the way, or encounters a horse thief? "
Xu Lai glanced at him with a smile but not a smile, and said: "Then just pray hard! ”
In one sentence, the man was immediately choked and speechless.
But he didn’t dare to bet. He had tried it lightly. None of the few who sneaked away last night were able to escape. Their heads were still there.
After a day's delay, Xu Lai wanted to go straight to Bello's lair. There was no time to take them back to Qingfeng City.
Originally, he wanted Yan Feng and the others to take them back, but now he wanted to rob Rodney's escape, so he asked Joseph to leave some heroes behind and take these horse thieves back.
Moreover, it is obvious that the family of Prairie King Bello has gained more.
Even if all these people ran away, Xu Lai wouldn't feel bad.
Wouldn't it be better if a few words could scare them into running back on their own?
After the horse thieves left, Elvi flew into the sky to scout for Xu Lai, not only to detect Bello's lair, but also to detect Rodney's infantry.
Jimmy had already told Xu Lai the marching route of the Rodney Infantry Regiment, so it didn't take long for Elvie to find the infantry.
The infantry regiment of 5,000 people is also equipped with 2,000 shooters and carries several portable siege vehicles.
With another 3,000 knights covering the area, it shouldn't be a big problem to take down Bello's fortress.
Following the direction of movement of these troops, Elvi also found Bello's mountain stronghold, which happened to be not the one Xu Lai knew about.
It is said that Bello's cottages are built based on hiding places, and there are internal passages leading directly to the hiding places.
This is the information that Urdola and the others got from their interrogation that night. Unfortunately, only Bello and a few of his confidants know the location of the hiding place.
Xu Lai discovered this mountain stronghold, but he was not in a hurry to attack it. Instead, he avoided the detection of the bandits from a distance.
Rodney's infantry regiment arrived in the afternoon.
It is probably because the covering cavalry has not arrived yet, so he has been procrastinating and unwilling to get closer.
It’s just that the soldiers are very fast, but they have been discovered by the horse thieves long ago despite their procrastination.
The 8,000 footbows had an absolute advantage in numbers, but Bello had a lair that he had been operating for more than ten years. There were arrow towers, mechanisms, secret passages, and traps everywhere.
And there is still a large amount of his treasure hidden in the lair, and it will definitely be too late to move it at this time.
Even if he had time, he didn't want to move. No matter how many lairs he had, it wouldn't be enough if he didn't frighten the people who cared about him.
Therefore, Bello began to mobilize his troops early, and mobilized the elites from other lairs, all gathered together, vowing to guard this lair.
Xu Lai hid far away, unaware of Bello's subordinates.
But he also has a seraph flying in the sky. Whether it is a horse thief or Rodney's movements, Elvi can clearly see them.
When Rodney arrived at Bello's lair, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he calmly pitched a tent on the ground a few kilometers away.
In Rodney's mind, he just thought that Jimmy was entangled in another cottage and couldn't get away for a while.
However, Rodney was not in a hurry to attack, but Bello couldn't hold back.
He selected the one with the best shooting skills among all the horse thieves, and actually opened the gate of the cottage to attack on his own initiative.
This is what Rodney is most worried about. Without cavalry cover, these horse archers are in particular trouble.
Bello brought elite-level and commander-level thieves with him and kept circling Rodney's infantry regiment with long-range shots.
They did not dare to get close, and the horse bow was not as powerful as the foot bow, so it was not very powerful.
Horse thieves often have to circle several times before they can kill one or two who are careless or whose shields are not well covered.
Furthermore, because the horse thieves have been running at extremely high speeds, and there are shield warriors in front blocking their sight, the foot archers have not achieved much success.
Relatively speaking, the casualties of the horse thieves may be greater.
