Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 43

This year's winter has not had a few snowfalls, and the worrying drought seems to be getting worse, and the situation in the coming year is expected to become even more tense.

In order to ensure the yield of next year's crops, Lost specifically told the agricultural officer to increase the plowing depth by [-]% when plowing the harvested land. After the plowed soil is fully dried, it will be irrigated twice before and after winter to ensure The soil contains enough moisture.

At the same time, the wheat and corn seeds were treated with drought resistance.The selected seeds are mixed with a certain amount of water, and then the seeds that have absorbed enough water are air-dried. Repeating this three times can greatly enhance the drought resistance of wheat and corn.

At the same time, we focused on dredging and repairing the water conservancy and irrigation systems in Stan Town and the three villages. In order to prevent problems before they happen, Ross even dispatched 300 people to dig a new 80-mile diversion canal, which connected a 300-meter-wide river—— Mozak River.

Spring plowing always makes people busy but full of joy and hope.After Eric's steward clearly exempted all taxes, Ross maximized the potential of Stan Town in farming, reaching the level of [-] acres per capita.

Of course, the people here refer to the 1500 or so official citizens of Stan Town, who only need to pay [-]% of the tax as funds for the construction of the village and the training of the militia. The refugees help themselves to cultivate the land.

Refugees are not allowed to cultivate land, breed, fish, etc. without permission. This is a fundamental principle.

As for the four or five hundred slaves, Rose generously distributed ten of each to the three village chiefs and the main officials of Stan Town. Of the remaining more than 300 slaves, Rose left only three hard-working and clever ones, and all the others Arranged to go in their own medicine field, after all, as the mayor of Luosi, they planted tens of thousands of acres of medicinal materials.

It is worth mentioning that the more than 1 acres of fruit trees planted by Los have already bloomed with scattered flowers. Although the fruit trees are still small, the flowers are sparse and pitiful, but this year there is finally a new harvest, right?

The busy spring plowing was over, and as soon as people were free, Ross called Julis and handed him a plan.

Julis repeatedly looked at the extremely simple lines above and asked uncertainly, "Building roads?"

"Yes, Mr. Ulis. I hope you can build the communication between Stan Town and the three villages within three months. The ten-meter-wide main road marked on my map is the one that goes all the way through. Go to the nearest city, but it is not necessary to complete it now. My plan is to repair here first~" Los took the map and explained to Ulis: "The main road will start to fork here, leading to Poper Town and Green Pine, so for now we just need to get the road up here."

Julis didn't ask any more questions, and took over the task directly: "The road between the villages is a 5-meter gravel road, and the road between the towns is a 10-meter-wide gravel road. I think three months is completely no problem."

"Very good, I look forward to the days when I can walk on the spacious and stable avenue." Ross said with a smile.

Calm days are always short. On this day, when Ross was observing the growth of newly planted herbs in the medicine field, a huge colorful firework appeared in the sky in the northeast direction and lasted for a long time.

Seeing the colorful fireworks, Rose immediately changed his face, turned around and walked towards his home while arranging the guards around him: "Immediately notify Thomas to call all the warriors to prepare for the attack, and at the same time, ask the Cavaliers Karl and the Cavaliers Russ to prepare for the attack."

Before Ross got home, he met Thomas, Carl, and Ruth who rushed over. They have been training trainees together recently.

"Loss, the emergency signal seems to be from Green Pine Town. What should we do?" Thomas said anxiously.

Ross said calmly: "Of course we are going to the rescue. You immediately gather all the warriors in the town, and we will gather at the east gate in a while." After speaking, Ross said to Ross: "Captain Karl, Captain Russ, I hope you knights The team can also play."

"Of course, killing the orcs is our responsibility." Karl and Ruth agreed without hesitation.

Ten minutes later, Ross led a warrior and Ruth led the Cavaliers to Green Pine Town.

Green Pine Town is located 90 miles northeast of Stan Town.It is one of the five towns of Baron Pochtilli, and it is also the fiefdom of Sir Ye Weiqi, the head of his Knights. It is a medium-sized town established for more than 300 years, covering an area of ​​more than 1500 acres and a 6-meter-high stone wall. And a population of more than 3000 is by no means comparable to a newly established small town like Stan Town.

However, Green Pine Town, which has at least 500 guards and fifty or sixty warriors, sent out an emergency rescue signal, so the number of enemies they faced was at least no less than the last time Jackals besieged Rouzi Village.

After two and a half hours, Ross could already see the tragic situation of the defensive battle of Green Pine Town from a distance.

At least six or seven hundred gnolls and kobolds stormed around the gate of Green Pine Town. The relatively short but extremely agile gnolls jumped 3 meters high with a light jump, and then grabbed the wall with their sharp claws to relay. One jump is another 2 meters, and with another light jump, he can rush to the wall and tear the guard's throat.

The tall and powerful Kobold grabbed a simple javelin or even a stone and could fly up to the wall with a single swipe, smashing the skin and bones of the guards who were desperately blocking the gnolls. The bright red blood had already covered half of the wall. They were all stained with blood.

Looking at the tragic scene in the distance, Thomas felt his scalp numb. He swallowed hard and asked dryly, "Mayor, what should we do? Come on?"

Ross glanced at him, there are six or seven hundred wolf men and kobolds, which means that there are at least about 300 first-order and above existences, and his own number of people will become a pile within 10 minutes. Minced meat was swallowed by them.

At this moment, Ross caught a glimpse of a small hill not far away, and immediately arranged: "Let's go there, first harass the orcs with bows and arrows, and see if we can attract some of them. Share the pressure for the guards on the wall. I think, especially Los Angeles rescuers will be here soon, by then~~"

Ross didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. Rescue is rescue, but you can't use your own wealth to work hard for others.

Now they just shoot archery and harass first, and when the big troops come, they will rush and kill together, get some benefits and then pay favors.

"Swish, swish, swish" sharp arrows shot into the orc's camp, pinning the orc who was caught off guard to the ground, causing a burst of chaos, and even stopped on the wall.

"Roar"

The kobold leader looked back angrily and saw that there were only a few harassing bugs, and he could only shoot a dozen arrows at a time, as long as he paid attention to avoiding them, he could ignore them.

But the attack on the wall can't stop. I must ensure that the town is captured before the knights from nearby cities arrive, and then I can occupy the town, and then use the human wall to block the charging knights.

Thinking of this, blood flickered in the eyes of the kobold leader, he grabbed a jackal and tore it apart, then growled and threatened his subordinates to continue attacking the wall. insect.

"40?" Ross looked at the roaring kobolds, smiled slightly at Russ and said, "Your Excellency Russ, how about we deal with these dogs at foot?"

Ruth nodded and said, "Well, it's inconvenient to expose the existence of the knight now." Then he turned around and shouted, "Everyone dismount to meet the enemy."

Ross smiled slightly and shouted at Thomas: "Thomas, you are in charge of this battle." He rushed out first and surrounded the only high-level warrior and two intermediate warriors.
