I have opened a new book, and I am playing a live broadcast in the fairy world. Please help me collect it and give some recommendations! Thank you, all book friends!

******************

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the sun is blazing in the sky, and not long ago the spring and summer were alternating between hot and cold, and now it has entered the midsummer season in just a few days.

Xiao Feng stood on the roof of the off-road vehicle, holding a telescope and observing a castle in the distance.

It has been seven or eight days since they entered this basin from the mouth of Calabash Canyon. During these seven or eight days, they have attacked and attacked everywhere. They have destroyed five orc castles, large and small, and rescued more than 20,000 human beings.

, and captured more than three thousand orcs of all colors.

Those captives and orcs have been escorted to Huluzui City, where under Yingran's unified dispatch, some of them will be transported to Benliu City behind, while the other part will stay locally to heighten the city defenses or build

Ships, fortifications.

The originally small Huluzui City has now doubled in size. With abundant human resources, Yingran dared to make a big move and doubled the scope of the original city wall.

There happens to be a large gravel area at the foot of the mountain near the castle, which is a very suitable quarry. Use a carriage to transport the stones back, repair a few waterwheels by the river, and polish the stones, and it will become a very suitable quarry.

Fortress building materials.

Coupled with the continuous supply of cement from behind, the city was built very quickly. Of course, the orc captives played a very important role. It is said that more than a thousand people died from exhaustion in these two days alone.

But no one took these orcs seriously. After all, they had treated humans the same way before, and humans killed them without catching them and allowed them to live for a few more days. This was considered a mercy.

The world is like this anyway, and Xiao Feng has no intention of instilling too much benevolence, righteousness, and morality into the people of this world.

The city in front of them was more than twice the size of the cities they had captured before, and the city walls were also taller, more than eight meters high. The people entrenched in this big city were pig-headed men.

These pig-headed men are not easy to chew. Unlike the kobolds and werewolves they encountered before, these pig-headed men are the main source of heavy armored infantry in the Orc Alliance. They dare to fight and are warlike.

They are guarding this city wall, but it is very difficult to attack. In addition, they have already attacked several castles in the past few days. The pig-headed men in this castle have already received the news.

Seeing them appearing outside the city wall, these pig-headed men all shrank back into the city, closed the city gate tightly, and set up their posture on the city wall, waiting for them to attack.

Xiao Feng had already used the drone to see clearly everything going on inside and outside the city wall. There were about 5,000 pig-headed men stationed in the city, 2,500 of whom were soldiers, and the other 2,500

Most of them are civilians, and they control a lot of human slaves.

Xiao Feng specially used drones to conduct general observations and statistics on the two concentration camps where humans were imprisoned in the city. This city held nearly 20,000 human beings, and it was a city of very strategic value.

Presumably it is because of the pig-headed man's super combat power and his great contribution to the alliance that he was assigned such a good city and so many human slaves, right?

The environment of the crop fields outside the city wall is also very good. There is an endless plain with rivers running through it. There are no floods, and there is plenty of river water to irrigate the land. It is no wonder that the crops outside the city wall grow so well.

Already.

Using a drone to observe the situation of the pig-headed garrison on the city wall, Xiao Feng basically had a clue. His previous guesses must have been correct. Now the orcs were indeed in a situation of insufficient strength.

Take this city for example. According to the size of the city, normally, at least 10,000 soldiers are required to guard the city. However, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers available in this city, and there are more than 2,000 others.

They are all civilian women and children.

However, unlike the kobolds, these old and weak women and children of the pig-headed people are only relatively speaking. Compared with humans, these old and weak women and children can also raise their swords and go into battle.

So based on this calculation, even if there are five thousand defenders in this city, this is still not enough.

So where did the other soldiers go? Xiao Feng thought about the pig-headed men he had strangled when he defeated the orcs, and the pig-headed men he captured. There were only more than ten thousand in total, which was not enough to deal with the pig-headed men.

The human race has brought such great losses.

So from this point of view, it seems that the Orc Alliance is using troops elsewhere, so it has mobilized most of the pig-headed people in this city.

From this point of view, not only this city, but all the cities in the entire Hulu Basin should be at their weakest. His previous judgment was absolutely correct.

It was the right time to take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Xiao Feng planned to extend the time of sweeping the Gourd Basin and cause as much damage to these orcs as possible.

"Sir, what should we do now? Attack the city?"

Xiao Feng stood on the roof of the car and had been observing the situation on the other side of the city wall. He didn't make a sound for a long time. Kyle and Bloom who were waiting aside were a little impatient.

In the past few days, they have repeatedly won against the orcs. Although they bullied the old, weak, sick and disabled, it also greatly boosted the morale of the human soldiers. When they faced the orcs in the past, they would be three short before they met.

The emotion of separation has long since disappeared, and there is even a feeling of eagerness to try when seeing an orc.

It is certainly a good thing to have good morale, but the wall on the opposite side is high and thick, and the people defending the city are pig-headed men with extremely powerful combat capabilities. Xiao Feng has no intention of letting the soldiers chew such a hard nut.

"Don't worry, by the way, let's find a local farmer to come over."

In the past few days, Xiao Feng and the others have conquered five castles and rescued many human prisoners. Some of them were sent back to Huluzui City by him, while others were taken with him and became new heavy troops.

These people were all able-bodied people selected from the prisoners, or they were experienced veterans who had served in the army before. Xiao Feng did not need them to fight in the battle, he only needed them to be responsible for the transportation of baggage, and the original three

It is enough to liberate thousands of troops and supplies.

These three thousand heavy troops were trained according to very high standards in the past. This time, after being tempered and polished on the battlefield, they became an elite army when they returned. They could fight instead of train, but this was a training model that Xiao Feng strongly advocated.

On the battlefield, even if you practice every day, you have not experienced a few actual battles, which can make soldiers grow faster.

Now his team has expanded to more than 10,000 people, including 6,000 regular troops, more than 4,000 prisoners converted into heavy troops, and more than 1,000 people who are responsible for building bridges, paving roads, and building camps, and are ready to push to the front at any time.

Orcs to serve as cannon fodder.

Fortunately, they had sufficient material preparations for this Northern Expedition. In addition, during this period, they captured a lot of food in the orc castle, so feeding more than 10,000 people was not a problem at all.

Soon Kyle found a human who was liberated from a nearby werewolf castle and came to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng pointed to the golden crop field in front of him and asked the local farmer: "What kind of crop is this?"

He didn't know much about the crops in this world. He only knew a few of them, which were a few native crops brought by the black elf Majes as a supplement to his staple food. He really didn't recognize the crops in front of him.

.

The farmer glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head: "Sir, this was not originally a crop for us humans. It was a crop brought by these orcs from their hometown. It is said to be their staple food. The name is rough oats. Recently,

Planting was only promoted here a few years ago, and we have been helping them grow this crop since we were captured by the orcs."

When Xiao Feng heard the term brown oats, he was stunned. Could it be a crop similar to oats on earth?

Oats are not widely spread in China. Chinese people prefer white flour and rice as their staple food. However, in developed areas such as Europe and the United States, oats are one of the staple foods of Europeans and Americans, just like wheat.

This crop is very cold-resistant, has low environmental requirements, and is easy to grow. It is widely planted in Northern Europe and the country of fur bears. It also has very high nutritional value, high crude fiber content, and extremely high content of various minerals and trace elements, which is very beneficial to the human body.

Health. In recent years, as healthy eating culture has gradually become popular in China, food like oatmeal has also begun to quietly become popular.

And could this rough oat be a cousin of oats on Earth? If so, that would be too much of a coincidence, right? Orcs actually call this crop rough oat? Could they have gotten it from humans?

Xiao Feng's mind was a little confused, but he quickly shook his head and got rid of those thoughts.

"What is the yield of this crop? Is it difficult to grow it? And how does it taste?"

"Sir, this crop has a very high yield, is resistant to cold and waterlogging, and does not have high requirements on the natural environment. It tastes very bad, but its nutritional value is very high. In the past two years, there have been many newborn children in the camp.

We survive by eating oatmeal. And this kind of brown oats can basically be harvested twice a year. As you can see, sir, we planted these before winter last year. They are now mature and it is time to harvest.

It’s time.”

After hearing the farmer's description, Xiao Feng was basically certain that the so-called rough oats must be the cousin of oats on earth, and they can be harvested twice a year. This is a very good supplementary crop.

"Kyle, organize the people in the baggage team to come forward and start harvesting these rough oats, leaving not a single grain for the orcs in the city. From now on, before we attack a city, we will harvest their crops first.

Light, burn all that cannot be harvested, and plunder all the cities that are captured..."
