Chapter 171
The river bank of Huainan City.
Cai Ming came to the high platform again.
Said to Xiao Zhan, who had been guarding here.
“How’s it going?”
Xiao Zhan frowned and said with some puzzlement.
“Huiyu lord, the construction of the pontoon bridge is going well, but it is a little too smooth.”
“Oh? What happened? ”
“During our construction of the pontoon bridge, there was no harassment. This is not normal! ”
Cai Ming waved his hand.
“As long as there is no attack, after all, crossing the river is the first element, and when the Huai River is crossed, they are grasshoppers in autumn, and it is useless to jump again.”
“Yes!”
Then a soldier ran over and got down on one knee.
“Dear Lord, the bridge has been completed, and the other party has not attacked so far.”
Although there are some doubts, but I can’t manage so much at the moment.
Directly wave your hand.
“Order, cross the river quickly!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers, who had long been preparing on the shore, quickly rushed to the pontoon bridge.
Without looking back, he rushed to the opposite bank.
However, some soldiers remained on the pontoon.
These are dressed like beggars and look around at the movement of the water.
They formally adjudicated the personnel of the Order.
After running for a while on the pontoon, the crowd found that they were not under any attack.
The heart that I had been carrying finally let go.
But they still haven’t slowed down.
Behind them were more centaurs, galloping towards this side.
Just as everyone was about to arrive at the center of the pontoon.
Suddenly, hundreds of figures stretched out from the surface of the water.
“Buzz Buzz!! ……”
Javelins flew from a distance.
It is clear that 100 people shot 400 javelins.
This is the willfulness of the 4 hands.
Many people were shot into the river in an instant, so those who were transferred to the river awaited their death.
The Cana imps who were lurking underwater dragged all those who fell into the river deeper into the river.
However, compared to the extremely large number of people, these 400 javelins have limited lethality.
After the javelin was fired, he saw the Canas dive back into the water.
It didn’t take long for the water to stick out again, and it was still the more than 400 javelins.
The ruling knights standing on the pontoon were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
They don’t tread water.
But the other party did not intend to get close at all, so he kept shooting with javelins.
The ruling knights had to stand on the pontoon and dry stare.
Cai Ming and others also discovered the situation in the river.
“What about those Canas, my lord?”
“Don’t worry about them, it’s nothing to die a little, let’s talk about it after speeding up.”
“Yes!”
This is also the most helpless choice.
They don’t have any troops to deal with in the river, those Cana.
With an army of tens of millions, even if they die, it doesn’t matter.
Even if those Canas are all marksmen.
400 javelins in one round. It’s 40,000 for 100 rounds.
Those Cana had 40,000 javelins, all of which were said otherwise.
It doesn’t matter if you do the math.
I have been observing from the high platform for more than half an hour.
It was found that the other party had no other movement except Cana.
He said.
“Let’s start crossing the river too!”
“Yes!”
Everyone mounted their tall horses and quickly rushed towards the pontoon.
When they reached the middle position, they were still attacked by the Canas.
However, Cai Ming and others are masters.
This attack will not hurt them at all.
All the way to the other shore, no other attacks were found, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
“Pass it on, quickly gather the army and go to Huaibei City!”
“Yes!”
Because the river bank is relatively close to Huaibei City.
After the phalanx was assembled, they began to march towards Huaibei City.
Didn’t stop too much on the banks of the river.
All the enemy troops that had been stationed here have been withdrawn.
…………
Yun Chuan and the others were standing on the city wall of Huaibei City at this moment.
Watch the army coming.
If you look down in the sky, Huaibei City at this time is like an island in the black sea, surrounded by water.
This was a sign of the intention to annihilate Huaibei City in one fell swoop.
And the city of Huaibei is also overcrowded.
For the sake of this war, all the surrounding soldiers were mobilized into the city.
Even the houses that are normally used can no longer meet the large number of troops.
Except for the normal roads, the rest of the place is full of camps.
The city walls were even more crowded.
It was as if another wall of people had formed on the city wall.
The only remaining roads were also reserved for the transportation of supplies.
All kinds of noise, endlessly.
After the formation of the troops outside the city, they began to build various siege machinery.
They did not hide in the large rear and quietly build.
Instead, it was blatantly begun to build in the front-line army.
From the appearance, it can be seen that those are the catapults that Yunchuan often liked to use before.
He didn’t panic about this.
“Boss, they’re building a catapult!”
“Well, if they don’t use catapults, I will find it strange, don’t forget that Huaibei City originally had catapults. Now they use catapults, which is quite normal. ”
The spicy crayfish nodded, a sinister smile on his face.
“So shall we beat them now?”
They have long studied the catapults used by the native army.
Compared to their own catapults, the degree of technology is much reduced.
It turned out that the maximum range of the catapult in Huaibei City only reached more than 300 meters.
In Yunchuan, the catapults they made can reach more than 500 meters.
Now their position can completely hit the enemy in the front row.
Although it can play a certain lethal role, Yun Chuan still shook his head.
“No hurry, after they set up all the catapults, push them to the front row and attack again.” Has the pig-killing knife already destroyed the pontoon bridge in the Huai River? ”
Speaking of pontoon, spicy crayfish’s face showed an expression of schadenfreude.
“Hahaha, when the last of their troops arrived at the pontoon, the pig-killing knife let the two sea serpents destroy the pontoon bridge. As for the humans on the pontoon, they have long fallen into the river, feeding the fish. ”
All went well with the plan in the Huai River.
He also relaxed a lot.
“You don’t have to participate in the battle behind the Cana clan, just pay attention to the movements on the Huai River.”
“Well, after the supply line on the Huai River is cut off, they will inevitably go east to transport Taicheng for supplies, shall we do something to cut off grain and grass?”
Due to the huge number of opponents, it was extremely difficult to supply.
The matter of cutting off grain and grass must be dealt with.
After thinking for a while, he said.
“Just let the griffin flying force of the brick moving prince go, there are angels in the city, just help watch.” Remind him that the main task is to cut off the enemy’s food and grass supply lines and not fight hard. ”
“Good!”
The flying class has a wide field of view, making it easier to spot the opponent’s supply lines.
In addition, the griffin is also the overlord of the sky side.
Even if it is three or two giant eagles, it is not a match for griffins.
The only pity is that these griffins have not been genetically enhanced.
In the Airborne Class category, the Gryphon is a very powerful one.
There is a tech company in the Big League that specializes in genetically modifying and enhancing various animals.
Let some animals with potential carry out the second or even the third enhancement, which can exceed the original combat power several times, more than that.
Some people may say, then why not transform the intelligent race?
After countless experiments, they found that intelligent races could not effectively suppress the harm caused by gene enhancement.
Low-end racial reinforcement is not enough, genes must remember the cost money.
Mid- and high-end races disdain the use of genetic enhancement.
After all, the use of genetic agents or enhancement will cause permanent damage to the human body.
For example, it is clear that the upper limit of a person’s strength is 8-star strength.
And the use of gene potions is also the most, which raises him to three-star strength.
It also interrupted his continued growth, and no one would want to.
Finally, some people even use elite potions as poison, and in order to cut off the growth of others, they often secretly inject this potion into their opponents.
This happened more and more, and finally the Federation issued an order that genetic potions and modifications could only be used on animals.
It’s not the same in animals.
Many animals are mixed with various bloodlines due to their ancestors, and some rare animals will contain ancient bloodlines in their bodies.
As long as these bloodlines are activated, the strength of the animal can be enhanced on the basis of the original.
As far as he knew, griffins had a genetic potion that allowed them to grow scale-like existences outside their bodies.
And this agent has no side effects.
It just stimulated the ancient bloodline in his body.
Yunchuan also plans to cultivate these griffins well, naturally they will not be lost in vain.
“Woooo!!!!oo ………”
When the opponent’s siege machinery was installed, the horn of attack sounded.
“Knock knock knock! …………”
Then the beat of drums sounded in all directions.
This time it’s not just a frontal attack.
Judging from the opponent’s posture, it is clear that it is attacking from four walls at the same time.
“Click-click-click!!! ………”
The soldiers in the front row, one holding a shield and the other a spear, blocked the front of the catapult, like a human wall.
“Crunch, crunch! ………”
Catapults were pushed up, making a crunching sound.
Immediately behind the soldiers in front, he approached the city wall.
Behind the catapult were carts with boulders.
These were all auxiliaries who specialized in catapults.
Once they arrive at their intended location, the stones are dropped and transported back and forth continuously.
When they were 250 meters away from the city wall, the army all stopped.
This is to prevent the Javelin from attacking.
The Javelin’s attack range is usually around 250 meters.
Of course, there are some people who can exceed 250 meters, but for the entire army, even if there is an individual existence, it cannot cause any damage to the army.
The various catapults, with the help of auxiliary troops, installed the stones.
Their idea was simple, that is, to suppress the fire of the city wall with catapults first.
Then deploy as appropriate.
It’s just that things often don’t go as smoothly as they think.
Just before they could install the stones.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!!! …………”
There was a sudden sound of breaking the sky in the sky.
The crowd looked up to heaven.
I saw boulders flying into the sky and smashing towards them.
The scene is like a meteor descending.
“Shh!!!!h
When boulders hit the ground, they made a thumping sound.
“Boom!!!
The distance of the other party’s catapult was completely beyond their imagination.
The catapult that had just been pushed over by his own side was instantly destroyed in this attack.
The screams turned into the melody of the battlefield.
Even those strong soldiers standing in the front row, holding shields, were smashed at this moment.
Obviously, this kind of power is not something that they can compete with at this level.
Cai Ming, who was standing on the high platform behind, naturally saw this scene.
In this way, Cai Ming was a little annoyed.
The catapult technology he chose was manufactured by very advanced local methods.
There is no doubt that the other party must have modified the catapult.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the other party still had some research on ancient war weapons.
Seeing that the weapons of war could not achieve merit, he was about to order the whole army to move.
A correspondent ran over.
“Report to the commander-in-chief, the other party has dug a 50-meter-wide gap in front of the city wall.”
This made him stunned.
“Did the other party widen the moat?”
“It should be, it’s just…”
“Don’t swallow, just say it!”
“Yes! It’s just that there is no water in the moat. The original moat was widened and the bottom of the moat was deepened. ”
This made him incomprehensible.
Normally, moats stop when they reach an underground water source.
Groundwater sources are then used to form a moat.
But the other party did not let the groundwater seep out, what does this mean?
“What does the General Staff recommend?”
“Not for the time being, it will take time to fill in, and in the short term, we can only use strong ladders to build temporary aisles.”
He didn’t even think about filling the gap.
It’s not that this method doesn’t work, it’s that it’s too close to the city wall.
If you want to fill a gap, you will also lose your own soldiers.
Instead of wasting suicide landfills, try to storm the walls.
When I think of this, I don’t hesitate anymore.
“Pass on auxiliary soldiers, connect wall ladders, and build temporary drawbridges.”
“Yes!”
The wall ladder itself is more than 30 meters, and as long as the two strong ladders are connected, a simple suspension bridge can be formed.
Although this simple suspension bridge does not account for too many people.
As long as the number is sufficient, a large number of people can still attack the city wall at the same time.
