Empires Start with Lords

Chapter 28: : Triumph

Ross watched the marching vehicle rush into the city and hit Resel's castle, and immediately ordered a retreat.

On the other hand, Rhea, who was dumbfounded, couldn't understand why Ross would withdraw his troops at this moment.

Especially when he saw Ross directly ramming the marching vehicle filled with gunpowder into Resel's position, he was immediately surprised.

"Marquis Russell... is dead?"

Rhea trembled, opened his mouth and said.

"I don't know, it would be a lot easier if it was really bombed."

Ross said something casually.

At this time, all the troops were originally assembled to start sieging the soldiers who got on and off Ross's marching vehicle, but when Ross turned against the generals, he directly used the geographical advantage here to let the marching vehicle rush into the castle.

All the thousands of heavily armed enemy troops who surrounded the hundreds of troops in Ross, even withdrew directly, and hurried to support the fire in the castle.

Although Ross thinks they are too stupid, why do you need so many people to fight the fire?

But in order to show loyalty, under the tyrant's notice, no one dared not to fight the fire. This was not out of loyalty but fear.

Ross smiled, these guys were as stupid as he thought.

In fact, Ross had planned all this from the very beginning.

Looking at Rhea, who was staring at all this in a daze, while his heart kept rolling, Ross kicked him with his foot and asked, "Is such a lord still worthy of your allegiance?"

Just when Rhea was extremely tangled, Ross pointed to the city gate and the several broken holes in the wall that Ross deliberately knocked open, and said, "The civilians in this city have already run for almost two-thirds of the way. ."

Rhea looked at the place where Ross pointed with a dull expression, and found that as Ross said, some civilians in the city who were afraid of the Marquis of Resel didn't dare to escape, but the fire in the castle attracted all the soldiers. This group of civilians hurriedly took the luggage that had already been packed and fled.

The original city of 30,000 people has lost most of the civilians.

"It's all done by Raisel himself. The free people are still a steady stream of blood in a city. To abuse civilians is always to shoot themselves in the foot."

Seeing all this, Rhea finally understood why Ross had the guts to say that he would defeat Marquis Resel with one finger in the first place.

It's not arrogance, and it's not that he is crazy.

It was Ross who had long seen through the failure of Marquis Rexel as a lord and the corruption under the hustle and bustle of the city of Rexel.

In this operation, Ross killed nearly 4,000 people with 2,500 troops and gained more than 5,000 military exploits.

Because Ross found out that he could still get a thousand military exploits after he wounded Marquis Russell.

However, Ross did not lose one soldier and one soldier, and when he finally retreated, there were only less than one hundred troops left.

"Well, it's still too much trouble to fight a lord of the level of a marquis. When you go back, you have to completely rectify the military and then develop commerce and agriculture."

Ross sighed with emotion and led all the soldiers back to his territory.

In order to prevent Raisel from chasing after the incident, the marching speed should be slightly faster.

The explosives installed before made every marching vehicle explode in the center of the enemy army.

After Ross returned to the camp, he started recruiting as soon as possible.

There are no soldiers in training in the barracks now, and the soldiers that Ross summoned are more than twice the price of what they bought.

However, fortunately, the freedmen were very responsive to Ross's solicitation, and it didn't take long for more than a thousand recruits to be gathered.

Next, Ross settled the refugees who escaped from the tyrant, Marquis Resel.

Ross unified the group of refugees who had the status of free citizens to be granted the status of free citizens, but this status can only be used for three days.

Either one person pays the war tax of ten gold coins, or one person in the family must join the army, so that the whole family can obtain the status of a free citizen.

There were 13,000 refugees who fled to the Ross territory, and even Ross was taken aback by the huge number.

Fortunately, everyone in Ross's agricultural development is enough to feed 30,000 people, and even adding 13,000 refugees is enough.

More than 60% of the refugees who came to the Ross territory had families, usually three to four people. Soon these refugees either had no money to pay taxes and did not need to be sent out of the city, so they had to join the army.

Gradually, Ross's army gathered another five thousand men.

"Ding, complete the task of defeating Marquis Raisel, and the upper limit of the army will be expanded to 5,000 people. Reward: 5,000 military merits, unlocked with gunpowder."

Military merit: 15,000.

When Ross heard this, he was pleasantly surprised.

The upper limit of the number of people has been increased by 2,000, and this is only within the establishment. Although the soldiers outside Ross's establishment cannot work together, they can participate in the defense operation.

Ross moved in his heart and immediately clicked on the sign of the Knights Templar.

"Buy five Knights Templar Orders."

Wow!

A golden light flashed, and the 2,500-strong knights lined up in front of Ross~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In this way, Ross quickly replenished the lost military force, and also passed the two battles. , obtained 15,000 military merits, which is 150,000 when converted into gold coins.

These five Knights Templars cost Ross 100,000 gold coins.

However, a Templar Order can withstand thousands of ordinary stormtroopers, Ross resolutely spent a lot of money to buy a full 2,500 Templar Knights.

In this way, the number of soldiers in Ross's establishment can only be increased by another 2,500.

The upper limit was 5,000 people, half of them were Templars, and the other half, Ross decided to buy the highest-end materials and weapons and gunpowder.

Now that the gunpowder is unlocked, Ross will no longer have to tiptoe like before when he uses gunpowder.

Buy!

Gunpowder: One gold coin, one gram.

Ross glanced at the price, waved his hand, and directly bought three kilograms of gunpowder, costing three thousand gold coins.

Ross's remaining military exploits were all converted into gold coins, and there were more than 40,000 left.

Ross thought about it for a while, and then bought a few professions that the barracks could not strengthen, such as the English longbowman and the heavy knight.

Ross bought 500 heavy knights, 500 English longbowmen, 1000 medium knights and 500 light knights, and spent more than 8,000 gold coins.

With the remaining 35,000 gold coins, Ross wants to buy some materials.

City defense...

After this time, Ross thought that Raisel's city wall was similar to his own, almost exactly the same. If Raisel wanted to use Rose's tricks to return it to Ross, then his city wall might not be able to survive the defense and be blessed by gunpowder. Marching cart.

No, such a marching vehicle is simply a charging giant.

There was a sudden group, and the Templars couldn't stop it.
