Chapter 244: The Factors That Determine Victory or Defeat 5
Through his previous experiences on the border of the Mountain Country, and this observation, Phantom Dream has come to realize an important strategic area on the surface of the earth—the city on the transportation road.
Although it is said that soldiers do not have to have roads to get there, there is no way for the vehicles transporting food to cross the mountains, and unless the soldiers do not have to eat after passing the mountains, the logistical roads must be ensured.
As long as you control the city on the road, you control the power to enter and exit the borders of a country......
The four of them reached the side of the wall, where there were sentries at intervals, who were watching from multiple angles for signs of an attack, and the artillerymen were adjusting their cannons to the farther they could push the enemy's tent farther away.
Seeing the four of them coming to the city wall, the soldiers of the city saluted the four of them.
Dream didn't go far along the walls, his purpose was to observe the situation on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, not to disturb the soldiers.
The camps on the mountainside had some relatively simple fortifications - they were built from felled trees. Due to the terrain, the desert soldiers would suffer considerable losses along the way if they tried to leave the road and attack the camp - and, if they did, muskets and stones awaited them overhead.
How can the people of the Desert Nation break through such a defensive line and break through such a strong city?Illusory Dream shook his head, this battle seemed to be decided, even if the surrender of those generals was fake, it would not change the defeat of the Desert Nation.
Just as the dream was thinking, the soldiers around him suddenly let out a cry of excitement.
The dream followed the soldiers' gaze - was something good about to happen?
…… For those at the foot of the mountain, it's certainly not a good thing. When the dream saw what they were cheering for, he sighed—it was a rather large stone, pulled by several soldiers in a cart.
What this stone is for, the dream is very clear......
Judging from the way they were so happy, the size of the stone must have been much larger than the previous one......
The soldiers, who were reorganizing their artillery, put down their work and excitedly joined the stone-pushing team.
This is an economical way to attack, and if the boulder rolls down, the damage range may be farther than that of artillery, and there are few drawbacks except for some effort.
After the soldiers watched and made sure that they would not hit the camp on the mountainside, they pushed the boulder down with all their might.
It was clear that the soldiers were quite skilled - the dream noticed that there were some trees under the walls that had already been cut down as a buffer to prevent the stones from falling and shattering.
The boulder rolled down the hillside - although some fragments were broken in the middle, but the main body was not damaged, the boulder accelerated as it rolled, and it was already very fast when it rolled down to the bottom of the mountain, and it rushed into the camp of the desert country like a wild horse, destroying the tent that stood in its way—by the time it stopped because it had been hindered too much, the camp had been destroyed and a deep "knife cut" had been broken.
The desert soldiers ran out of their tents and began to flee - they didn't look chaotic, they looked like they were used to it......
…… Wait, isn't this a bit of a run away?
