365 New Riverrun
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!

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the orc captives. Those gorillas, dig holes and do earthwork, they are very good hands. The tauren and pig-headed men are indeed much better than humans in terms of transportation."
Seeing Xiao Feng's puzzled expression, Friday, the loyal loser standing next to him, immediately gave an explanation with a flattering smile.
Hearing what he said, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the city wall could be rebuilt so quickly. The three-meter-deep foundation underground was entirely made of giant stones, and the part above the ground was also built with two-meter-high giant stones.
Stone wall foundation.
On top of the stone wall foundation, the containers brought by Xiao Feng were built according to the original method. As a result, the height of the city wall was about three meters higher than the original, exceeding the height of twelve meters.
Giant stone ballasts were also placed in the rebuilt containers, and the iron walls that were originally penetrated by the orc trebuchets were also repaired.
Above the city wall, there are also parapets rebuilt with strips of stone, and there are many additional arrow towers, which ensure that the entire city wall is defended without blind spots. There are also many trebuchets arranged. It can be seen that Charles Mann is very interested in the rebuilt
The city wall is very thoughtful.
After the entire city wall was renovated, its protective capabilities were greatly improved compared to before, which made Xiao Feng very satisfied.
Standing on the city wall and looking south, the human city in the south of the city wall has expanded a lot than before and looks crowded.
However, the whole city does not look like the messy and dirty streets in the Middle Ages. Instead, it is very neat and tidy. This is of course because of the city construction ideas provided by Xiao Feng before, and this idea was continued on Friday.
"How many people are there in Riverrun now?"
"Sir, there are currently more than 60,000 people in this city?"
"Oh? There are so many?",
After hearing Friday's reply, Xiao Feng was very happy. When he left last time, there seemed to be only more than 20,000 people in Riverrun City. There were originally about 40,000 people, but some of them were taken to the south of the peninsula by Keira.
The Twin Towers City was built.
Later, he defeated the incoming Orc army and rescued 10,000 people from the Orc camp, but even so, there were only 30,000 people. In the year he was away, the population of Riverrun actually doubled.
Double, which of course makes Xiao Feng very happy.
"The main thing is that after we defeated the incoming orcs last year, many small tribes in the mountains came to surrender, and some of them were captured by Broome. Now they are basically familiar with them.
Life is more disciplined."
I introduced the basic situation to Xiao Feng on Friday and Xiao Feng was very satisfied.
"Where is the army? How many are there now?"
Xiao Feng turned to Kyle and asked Kyle, the military is also an important construction direction that he is very concerned about.
"My lord, to comply with your instructions, I have not expanded the number of troops. At present, the number of soldiers has been restored to 3,000, and there is still a reserve of 3,000. In addition, the training of the militia has not stopped."
When Xiao Feng left last time, he did not ask Kyle to expand the number of the army. After all, their tribe had a small number of people. Blindly expanding the army and commanding would increase the burden on the people. After all, the productivity of this world is not that developed.
"How's the training going?"
Xiao Feng asked again casually. He did not have high requirements for the number of troops, but he did not have low requirements for the quality of the soldiers. The quality of the soldiers should not be too large.
His idea of building an army requires that these soldiers must have multiple abilities. When mounted, they must be elite cavalry, and when dismounted, they must be elite infantry. Fortunately, there is no shortage of horses in the world.
"The training is pretty good, and I can basically meet your requirements, sir."
Kyle replied and Xiao Feng nodded.
Walking down from the city wall, Xiao Feng, led by the black elf Majes, visited the racecourse, cowshed, and sheepfold he managed.
It has to be said that this guy is very good at domesticating livestock. The number of horse farms has increased from one to dozens. The large number of tribes who came to invest in it also brought abundant labor force to the tribe.
Majes selected many people with experience in raising livestock from the newly arrived natives to come to the ranch to help. In addition, the many barbed wire fences that Xiao Feng had brought before also played a role.
The work of raising cattle, horses and sheep is much simpler. You can level the land, erect fences, and drive the horses, cattle, and sheep into the fences, thus reducing the trouble of nomadic herding.
As for the feed for livestock, it is even simpler. In the peninsula wilderness in the south, there are countless grasses and wild alfalfa. Those forages can provide enough food for these livestock.
As long as people are sent to the wilds to hunt weeds every day, and then transported back by carriage or boat, it can be enough to ensure that the livestock people eat horse chews.
The number of cattle and horses they raise has exceeded tens of thousands, and there are even more sheep. In addition, those wild boars, chickens and ducks are not included. Anyway, they don’t count cattle and horses. The other livestock they raise alone are enough to guarantee the safety of Riverrun City.
Meat is provided.
Of course, with the increase in population, it is definitely impossible to ensure that everyone can have meat to eat as before. After all, this is an era of extremely backward productivity. Although the world is extremely rich in material, it is impossible to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.
It is impossible to eat meat.
But it can still be done with a basically full stomach.
Therefore, those humans are very willing to live in such a city where they can have full stomachs, feel safe, and are clean and tidy, especially the new humans who have surrendered and joined.
When they saw this human city, they simply regarded it as paradise...
Majes has never relaxed when it comes to growing food. He is well aware of the importance of food to the future development of this human tribe.
With the huge increase in the new population, he organized more laborers to open up wasteland and plant in the wild. Fortunately, the land here is almost unlimited, and it is very fertile, plus the rice and potatoes brought by Xiao Feng
They are all high-yield crops, ensuring that the population of the base is fed without any pressure, and there is even a large food surplus every year.
Seeing the increasing amount of grain in the warehouse, Xiao Feng felt confident. With these grain reserves, he could finally implement the next plan, which was the Northern Expedition!
Yes, his main purpose in coming to this other world this time is to organize men for the Northern Expedition!
Orcs have come to attack the city several times, and large-scale siege battles have been carried out twice. It is not his habit to just defend and be beaten.
What's more, if the human country he built with his own hands wants to continue to grow and develop, it will need more people. However, there are only 60,000 people in Riverrun. This population base is far from enough for his needs.
There have been two large-scale attacks on the city by orcs, and they were all repulsed by him, especially the time last year, when an army of 30,000 people attacked, and in the end they were beaten to pieces by him, and they were completely defeated.
And that time must have hurt the orcs, so from last winter until this spring, the orcs basically never appeared near the city wall.
It must have been that time that the orcs were frightened. Before they thought of a way to deal with him, those guys probably didn't dare to come and provoke Riverrun.
Just because the other party doesn't come, it doesn't mean that Xiao Feng won't look for them.
According to the people from the small tribes who came to surrender one after another, to the north of their city, after passing through the vast mountains, there was a large basin and plain surrounded by mountains.
On that great plain, there are several human cities. However, those human cities have been captured by the orcs and are now ruled by the orcs. In those cities, there are many human slaves, who are fighting for the orcs.
Orcs work.
When Xiao Feng heard this information before, he had already thought about attacking those cities. However, at that time, his tribe was not strong enough and his army was insufficient, so he temporarily gave up his plan to attack those cities.
But now he felt that the time was ripe. Kyle had retrained an army of 3,000 people and a reserve force of 3,000 people, for a total of 6,000 soldiers.
In addition, there are already tens of thousands of war horses, which is enough for his troops to maneuver in the wild. Even if they encounter an army of orcs, they can still run away if they cannot defeat them.
What's more, this time he brought in a lot of heavy firepower from the modern world. Although the helicopters are not yet in place, he has tanks, artillery vehicles, and light combat vehicles. With these weapon bonuses, he can deal with this world.
A human city, he felt it was enough.
In this Northern Expedition, he does not want to occupy too much land, but hopes to liberate more humans. Only when the number of people increases, will the human kingdom he builds become stronger and stronger.
With an army, food reserves, and horses, Xiao Feng realized that the time was basically ripe.
However, he is not in a hurry to set off immediately. Before setting off, he needs to take stock of all the forces he has at hand to have a clear understanding of his own strength.
The situation in Riverrun is basically understood clearly, but the Twin Towers City on the other side of the estuary still needs to be visited.
The communication technology in this era is not that developed yet. The connection between Twin Towers City and Riverrun City can only rely on flying pigeons to send messages. According to Friday, the news sent back by Keira showed that because there are half of the people in Twin Towers City,
The addition of the orc prisoners has greatly accelerated the city construction, and the city construction is now basically completed.
Now that it has entered the production reserve stage, Xiao Feng plans to set off tomorrow to visit the Twin Towers City. After taking inventory there and understanding all the strength in his hands, he plans to integrate his forces and command his troops.
Northern Expedition.
