Chapter 593: Defending the City and Sending Reinforcements (I)
"Sir, does this thing really work?" Looking at the old man beside him pouring a pot of boiling liquid like white water into the river, Leo said with a worried face, but the old man turned a deaf ear to this, until all the liquid was poured into the water, and said to Leo with a disdainful look: "Your Excellency Leo, my brother is a celebrity next to Sun Lin Mian of your Great Empire, and he is also the existence of the Creation of the Sunset Potion Guild, do you think that my younger brother will be worse than my brother in terms of craftsmanship?" ”
Instead of saying anything to the disdainful eyes of this Wu Clan Master, Leo stepped forward and said, "That's that, Master, your potion level can be one of the best in the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, so maybe you are also a potion master in the Wu Clan, how can you always make a failure?" But don't I care? After all, you also know that if we can seize the city in front of us and dedicate it to Sun Lin, then our future will be bright! ”
For the pharmacist from the Wu clan in front of him, Leo really didn't dare to have any temper, after all, he was the key to the victory of this battle, and in the same way, although the Wu pharmacist knew that the commander of the sun never set in front of him was deliberately currying favor with himself, but he didn't say anything, after all, as long as he was a normal person, he liked others to pat himself on the back, so the Wu pharmacist also assured Leo after Leo finished speaking: "Don't worry, Your Excellency Leo, the potions made by our Wu apothecaries can only be cracked, But it has never failed before it has an effect, this time I poured into the river water is a slow-heat poison, the snake people will not attack at the first time after drinking, but it will take 3 hours to take effect, I think there are 3 hours to do the guarantee, the snake people in the city should drink the water in the river during this time. And after the effect of this potion can make all species feel a sharp pain in their stomachs for 1 day, so Lord Leo can wait for more than 6 hours before launching an attack, because the effect of the medicine lasts long enough for the army to have time to capture the snake people in the city, but Lord Leo, there is one thing I don't understand. ”
"Oh? When does the master have to say". Leo asked curiously.
"Lord Leo, in fact, with the surrounding ores and poisonous mushrooms on both sides of the tunnel, I am fully capable of refining the water of this river in 1 day, turning the toxin attack and killing the creature instantly after 4 hours of drinking, why did you reject this plan, Lord Leo? Aren't you who say that the dead are good people? ”
"Indeed, the dead are the good people. But this is for those who will only threaten the army on which the sun never sets. But these snake people are not. Leo shook his head with a smile and said, but his words made the witch apothecary's face even more confused.
"Is it true that their warriors killed the warriors on whom the sun never sets, but there is no threat to our interests on which the sun never sets?"
"Of course there is! But the problem is that what they can provide to the army of the sun outweighs the threat! Leo pretended to exaggerate and said: "Let me use an analogy, master, think about it, if one day you receive that your family is being bullied by others, then what is your first reaction?" ”
"Of course I slaughtered this .......... I see. Your Excellency, you want to use these snake people as prisoners to attract all the snake people in the tunnels! That's a good move! The Wu Master exclaimed.
on this. Leo smiled slightly and continued to explain: "Master, I think you have seen it too. Geographically, the Nirya Mountain Range should have belonged to the territory of the Water Qilin Empire, but now, in this mountain range that should have been the Water Qilin Empire, the Snake Tribe, which does not belong to the strength of the Qilin Empire, has established an underground city here, which means that the Snake People Tribe has actually used the underground tunnel hidden in the Niriya Mountain Range to control this mountain range. That means that the snake people are already familiar with the terrain of this mountain range, and in this case, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't even think that we would enter this underground tunnel, otherwise our army would have been under their noses the whole time. In such a situation, even if we take this underground city. It is estimated that in the future, it will also be disturbed by the endless attacks of the snake tribe, and at the same time, if we abandon this city to break through to the city, it is estimated that we will also be raided by the snake warriors along the way. So what we have to do is force the snake warriors to engage our warriors head-on, and then our army uses the houses of the city to fight street battles to limit the performance of these strong snake warriors, only then can we have any hope of victory, and to do this we must use those snake captives, because they are the only key to forcing the snake warriors to fight us head-on. ”
"But before the sun never sets, the army defeated the snake warriors, but did not destroy the snake warriors, if I am not wrong, now the snake warriors wandering outside are twice the strength of our army, if they gather together to attack, then our chances of victory are not very big, then what should our army do then." The words of this witch master obviously hit the weakness of this battle plan, otherwise Leo would not have shown a wry smile after the witch master raised the question.
"In fact, this is the biggest flaw in this operation, and I estimate that with the strange way of thinking and intelligence of the snake warriors, they will definitely choose to attack in a group, so our army will almost certainly have a fierce street battle with more than 40,000 soldiers on the snake side in this city."
"What are we going to do then?" The Witch Master asked worriedly.
"Breakout! And it's a scattered breakout. Leo suddenly showed a strange smile, and said in a very affirmative tone: "Because only in this way can the strength of the snake people be dispersed to the maximum, so as to preserve our forces to the greatest extent, but Lao Tzu has had enough of breaking through again and again, and I can no longer tolerate continuing to flee, so those snake people had better pray that they don't push me into a hurry, otherwise, Lao Tzu will make the city and all the residents of this city pay the price for its siege of the sunset army.......... I'm going to turn this underground city into a sea of fire! ”
After 8 hours..........
To be on the safe side, Leo waited in the underground tunnel for nearly 8 hours before ordering the whole army to raid the snake city built under the Niria Mountains, although the city was built underground, so it also inherited the characteristics of underground cities: the outer city has no walls, but the inner city not only has walls but also fortresses. The soldiers were able to push all the soldiers into the city in a short period of time, but the army was still resisted by some snake warriors and civilians in the process of advancing, apparently, these snake warriors and civilians did not drink the river water during the 3 hours, or that the fresh water they had stored before was enough to consume in these 3 hours.
Leo had already anticipated this situation before, and told the English foot knights who raided it, so in the short siege battle, in the face of this snake man city where 95% of the inhabitants were all poisoned and only 5% of the inhabitants were not, the soldiers of the sun never set finally captured it at a very small cost, and at this time, there were still about 16 hours before the toxin in the snake man's body dissipated.
16 hours is not a long time for the soldiers on which the sun never sets, but fortunately, these hours are enough for Leo to complete some layouts: first, Leo ordered to kill all the male snake people in the city, after all, although the male snake people are not soldiers, their combat effectiveness is also very considerable after recovery; Then, for the only remaining female snake people, Leo also asked the soldiers to leave only about 2,000 people. As for the female snake people left, most of them were all imprisoned in the fortress in the inner city after being tied up by the soldiers of the sunset, and at the same time, the various intersections and windows of this fortress were also sealed by the soldiers of the sunset with stones and iron plates that could be collected in the city. Only a small number of female snake people have been driven out of the city, and they will "ventilate" the sunset side after the effects of the medicine have passed.
After solving the captives, it is the problem of the rest of the soldiers who never set the sun, and the problem of fortification construction: as the main force to deal with the snake tribe, those English foot knights, Xiyi warriors, etc. must rest, so as to ensure that they are in the best state to face the snake warriors in the next battle, and as the 2nd line of the sunset, the Lancet hammer soldiers and the Atlantan crescent spearmen, in the case of no baggage troops in the sunset army, can only let them come to replace.
Of course, Leo had given all the soldiers of the sunset five hours to find food in the city to fill their stomachs, or to take a short sleep to replenish their strength, and of course, for the hungry soldiers of the sunset, they would definitely choose the former.
Although the snake people ate very strange things, and even dried lizards and the like, they were edible after all, and the dried lizards were pickled, which was a rare delicacy compared to eating live earthworms and mice, and in the end, the amount of these things was enough to fill the hungry bellies of all the soldiers who never set the sun.
