Chapter 594: Defending the City and Sending Reinforcements (Medium)
After resting for a while, as the physical strength of the soldiers had returned to their normal state, the second-tier troops of the Sunset Army also began to build obstacles and traps in the city, but because there were no such raw materials as wood in the dungeon: because the wooden objects here were not only susceptible to decay and bacteria in the damp underground, but it was also a problem to transport wood from the ground to the dungeon. Therefore, at the beginning of the design of the street battle trap, the soldiers found that things like horses and wooden stakes could not be made.
At the same time, after several previous battles with the soldiers of the snake tribe, Leo can already be sure that these snake people not only have the ability to fight in the water in a short time, but also have the ability to climb the rock wall like a lizard, although it is impossible for the snake warrior to climb to the top of the underground tunnel due to the weight of the body, but it is still possible to climb on the rock wall with an inclination of less than 70%, which means that when the snake man warrior attacks, Instead of relying on a few tunnels around the city as the Sunset Soldiers had attacked, they launched an all-out attack from all sides, and the rivers that flowed through the city would not only not be an obstacle to the progress of the Snake Tribe, but would also most likely speed up the movement of the Snake Warriors through the city (similar to the concept of sailing down the river) and even affect the speed at which the Sunset Warriors could support the battlefield to some extent.
In this case, the first thing Leo asked the soldiers to do was to ask the soldiers to push some snake people along the river, use the ruins to cut off the river, and use the stones that fell in the river to form a temporary "bridge" to increase the speed of the soldiers in the town.
Then, it is necessary to dig tunnels in the city, and these tunnels should preferably be connected to and eventually connected to the river: although the snake people can make short advances in the water, they will never walk faster in the water than they can walk on land, and the same is true for the snake people, especially after the water has been blocked and the rivers have become immobile. Although this method only slows down the progress of some snake warriors, it is enough to allow the Sunset Crossbowman holding Mo Forging Crossbow to reload his crossbow arrows one more time and shoot them at the snake warriors.
After doing these two things, Leo asked the Sunset Soldiers to do all the Greek fire or oil that they had collected from the ruins of the Sunset camp, and after giving the Sunset Greek Pyros 3 reloads, they would sprinkle the rest throughout the snake city.
Although some of the clever soldiers who never set the sun had already thought of something, or thought of something that should not be thought of, they did not hesitate in the slightest about Leo's decision, but immediately carried it out as soon as they received the order, turning the snake city into a city that smelled of gasoline everywhere, and then waited with their commander, Lord Leo, for the arrival of the snake warriors. And the time for all the soldiers who never set the sun to complete these things took nearly 2 days to complete, and fortunately, the effect of the potion prepared by the master of the witch potion could last so long, otherwise those snake women who ran away before the soldiers who never set the sun were completed. He has already returned with the snake man warriors.
And as the time came to the third day, if you count it according to the time on the ground, it should be considered at noon. The sun never sets, and the scouts began to spot many shadows of snake people around the snake city. In terms of numbers, it is definitely more than 10,000 people, and even the bird himself found the shadows of these snake people after watching them with a telescope on the walls of the inner city, but although the number of these snake people has exceeded 10,000 people, they did not attack at the first time they arrived.
"They are waiting for the arrival of all the snake warriors in the Nirya Mountains, after all, in their opinion, our 20,000 soldiers who never set the sun are already fish on the board, and they can cut whatever they want. The Snake Men are all aiming for victory with one blow, leaving all our corpses in this underground city of the Snake Men after launching an attack. Looking at the looming figure of the snake warrior in the distance, Leo said lightly to the dozens of commanders around him, "But how could they have thought that they didn't care about the passage of time. The sun never sets, and we don't care about the passage of time. So many days of fighting have given our army 20,000 soldiers who never set the sun a lot of burden, making our 20,000 soldiers feel tired both physically and mentally, and now the more the snake warriors delay the time of the attack, in fact, the more our soldiers can get a chance to rest, and when all of our soldiers who do not set the sun return to their best state, then in the case of not burning the city, it is not easy to say who will lose and who will win in the end. ”
Just as Leo explained to everyone, the snake people need time, and the sun does not set on the side needs time, and with time, the soldiers on the side of the sun will get more time to rest so that they can face these snake warriors in the best condition; With time, the sun never sets to continue to improve the city's defenses while resting, turning the city into a giant meat grinder grinding the bodies of snake warriors.
And in fact, it is the snake people who are in a hurry, after all, the family history of these snake warriors is imprisoned in the castle of the city, and before letting go of the female snake people who went to ventilate and report the news, Leo also deliberately let them see that after the female snake people were pushed into the castle by the soldiers who never set sun, the gate of the castle was blocked by the army of the sun never set, which means that if the snake people do not break through the city earlier, then those female snake people who are imprisoned in the castle are very likely to be starved to death.
As for the problem of water and food cut-off faced by the defenders in the so-called siege battle, this is not a problem at all for the side on which the sun does not set, although the dried meat produced by the snake people in terms of food is extremely strange, but it is acceptable for these trained soldiers who do not set the sun, and in terms of water source, the sun does not set can completely use the water in those rivers in the city to drink, anyway, the toxins in the river water have been turned into extremely clear river water after the witch apothecary sprinkled the antidote.
In the end, when the time came to the fourth day when the army of the sun never set invaded the snake city, the snake people finally couldn't help but launch a full-scale attack.
"It seems that the snake warriors are already in a hurry!" Looking at the snake warriors who rushed down directly from the cliff in the distance with a telescope, Leo slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said: "Judging from the looks of these snake warriors, some of them should have come to rest for a short period of time in the past few hours before joining the battlefield, so in the next battle, it will be impossible for these snake warriors to show their best state, but .........."
As he spoke, Leo looked around the cliffs around the city, and muttered in a slightly worried tone: "The snake man warrior dares to let some soldiers participate in the battle when they are in a state of exhaustion, this situation happens to the snake man with an extremely calm head, then there will only be two explanations, one is that those female snake people are very important to the snake people, and even one of these female snake people has a sensitive female snake man, but this should be impossible .........., If that's the case, the snake warriors should continue to send troops to harass us from the previous appearance, so that we can focus all our attention on them, and not play a wave like they are now, then there is only one explanation in this case. ”
In the end, Leo set his sights on an area where there was no shadow of the snake man near the only cliff around the snake man city: "The snake man tribe may still have reinforcements rushing here, and there are definitely a lot of them, at least after they meet with these snake people warriors in front of them, they can still kill nearly 20,000 troops on our side of the sun that never sets, and judging from the current surrounding situation, the number of attacking snake warriors has almost reached nearly 40,000, In this case, the number of reinforcements will be at least 5,000 or more.......... these are troublesome, it seems that it is impossible to hold the city, is it really necessary to burn the city? ”
And just when Leo himself was struggling with whether to defend or destroy the city and break through. The crossbowman beside him began to shoot his crossbow arrows at the snake warriors who were running forward slowly, under the command of the junior officers.
The inner city of the snake city is not high, and the highest section is only less than 6 meters, but despite this, because the city walls and castles are built on higher rock walls, with the help of the height of the terrain, coupled with the fact that Mo Forging Crossbow is built by the Sunset craftsmen who are getting stronger and stronger in workmanship, its accuracy is getting higher and higher, which is why the Sunset Crossbowmen are now throwing crossbow arrows at it from such a distance.
As one of the sharp weapons specially used to deal with snake warriors, the extremely powerful crossbow arrows shot by Mo Forging Crossbow can shoot through the body of snake warriors almost as long as they can hit the snake people, and many snake warriors are directly embedded in the ground by powerful crossbow arrows.
At the same time, not long after the snake warriors entered the city that originally belonged to them, on the other side of the narrow alley where the snake people walked, there were sunset walking knights armed with war hammers and wrapped in plate armor, or Xiyi warriors wearing samurai armor and holding katanas. On the other side, in some parts of the snake city where there are rivers, when the snake warriors are trying to crawl forward, the members of the Swiss Guards armed with halberds come to the riverbank, and set up a phalanx of spears that makes the snake people feel cold when they look at it.
