Chapter 202: Soldiers Descend on the City

The Engineer Regiment of the Eternal Night Army, in which it acts as a coordinating commander.

Felling trees, transporting, erecting piles.

Prepare sacks, load sand and soil, soak in water and air freezing.

Layer upon layer, secondary sand spreading, splashing water and wind freezing.

Everything is orderly, day and night, and the lights are turned continuously.

The first designer and commander-in-chief of this project was none other than Ferdinand, who jumped three feet high in excitement when he received the order from the Eternal Night Army.

Such a construction method is simply incredible, and I have never even heard of it.

It's too challenging, and what he likes the most is challenging.

The surveying and mapping team that directly explored the terrain of the Sandong Alliance pulled over, and many basic things had been designed halfway through, and through the mountain eagle to pass the book, let the vanguard of the Eternal Night Group Army start to prepare.

For example, log materials, sacks of sand, frozen bags of sand.

When they arrived, after a simple survey, the construction began.

Good looking and durable are not in the scope of consideration, next spring, without ice as a binder, this sand city will be abandoned.

Robustness and efficiency are the most important things.

They must dare to build a worthwhile fortress of war before the barbarians of the mountain Kentana reach them.

On the bustling construction site, all resounding are Ferdinand's roars and urgings, this week, he has slept no more than two hours a day, and his eyes have long been boiled like rabbits, which makes the already bad temper even more irritable, but looking at the city wall that can be two meters higher every day, his heart is full of indescribable sense of achievement.

Now it has reached the end stage, and a large number of equipment for defending the city is being transported to the city head for installation.

In order to increase the strength of this fortress, Ferdinand had a whimsical idea to have people continue to water the outer layer along the city wall, from top to bottom, dry layer by layer, and in a day and a night, there was an additional layer of ice armor three or four centimeters thick, slippery and strong.

This temporary fortress was as simple as it could be, except for the two gates, all that remained were two earth-and-stone walls that stood parallel to the mountains, one side backed by the mountain, and the other deep into the bottomless lake.

One tall and one short.

The side facing the Four Waters City is about fifteen meters high.

The side facing the mountain Kentana barbarians was short, less than twelve meters.

There are two layers to consider.

First of all, the Eternal Night Army and the Walled City Alliance have not yet been close to the extent that they will give their backs to the other party defenselessly, and if they are stabbed in the back by their own allies at a critical time, it will be called a tragic urging.

The second is strategic depth, which can not only form a three-dimensional defense, but also retreat behind the second wall if the first wall is really unable to hold it.

The Eternal Night Army never underestimates the combat effectiveness of its opponents.

The height of the walls was not particularly ideal, according to Ferdinand's vision, if you want to deal with the mountain Kentana barbarians with an average height of more than two meters, the height of the first wall should be at least fifteen or sixteen meters, and the second wall should be more than twenty meters.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that much time, and the advance of the mountain Kentana barbarians was neither the fastest nor the slowest expected.

Before and after, it took nearly two weeks to sweep the mountain people's walled cities along the Andes inland lake, and even divided the troops in the later period, with as few as three or five hundred people, and as many as thousands of people, such as locusts crossing the border, burning and looting.

All wars are cruel, and even wars under the cloak of justice can easily seduce out the evil in people's hearts.

Not to mention these mountain Kentana barbarians, clan supremacy, there is no moral concept in their hearts at all, other races are nothing more than two-legged sheep, and many clans have not yet gotten rid of the custom of cannibalism.

By the time they met the army sent by Ben Hebrew to make a last-ditch effort, there were already tens of thousands of mountain slaves behind the mountain Kentana barbarians.

Human nature is complex, and it is vividly displayed in the face of war.

Before the war, these mountain slave soldiers may have been good fathers, good husbands, good leaders, and good hunters, but in the face of death, they were indeed out-and-out cowards, and in order to survive, they gave up their dignity.

And the only way to win the trust of the mountain Kentana barbarians and escape from their butcher's knives is to raise them against their own people.

When they are cornered and unleash the evil of human nature, their brutality is not much worse than that of the barbarians.

Under the wild charge of the barbarians in the mountainous Kentana, nearly 20,000 soldiers selected by the Ben Hebrews, relying on the geographical advantages and carefully organized sniping, were defeated without even resisting for a day, and less than half of them were withdrawn one after another, and their morale was completely destroyed, and in a short time, they were overwhelmed.

It seemed that knowing that Sishui City was their biggest target, the vanguard of the barbarians did not immediately kill them, but stationed in place, and waited until the scattered army gathered together again, and killed them mightily, ready to take Sishui City in one go.

When they saw an unexpected city blocking their way, the barbarians were a little confused.

The supreme commander of the barbarians in the mountain Kentana, Yale Xiong, carried Gegild like a chicken, and roared: "Didn't you say that the next road is smooth, and you can directly kill the Four Waters City? Then tell me, what is this?"

Not only those barbarians looked at the ice city that was shining in the sun, but even Gegild's eyes couldn't help but widen, with an incredulous expression, the mountain god was above, what did he see?

A city!

A city made of ice.

The swaying flags, the loud voices of the people, and the cold light that seems to reflect the arrows all show that this ice city is not an ornament to be used for bluffing.

But a month ago, there was nothing left here.

Could it be that Ben Hebrew, who had long expected that he would join forces with the mountain Kentana barbarians, had prepared in advance?

No, no, I should have received the news a long time ago, and Ben Hebrew didn't have that much skill and courage.

The banner on the head of the city was not the Hebrew of Ben, but the black flag of the Eternal Night Army.

Could it be that Four Water City has been taken by the Eternal Night Army?

Or did Ben Hebrew join forces with the Army of the Eternal Night?

It should be the latter that is more likely, after all, in such a short period of time, it is not easy to take down a city with a population of 200,000 or even more, let alone build a fortress here, even if it is made of ice, it is not so simple.

"The other party should be prepared, I said a long time ago, we should raid Sishui City as soon as possible, as long as Sishui City is taken down, it is not too late to take down the other villages if the snakehead of the Walled City Alliance is smashed. Gegild sneered unceremoniously.

Now that he is not afraid of boiling water, he knows that he is still useful to these barbarians, and he will not kill himself unless he has to.

However, Gegild did not remind the other party of the possibility of the Walled City Alliance joining forces with the Eternal Night Army, and the difference between the Eternal Night Army and the Walled City Alliance.

He now wishes that this group of bastards would suffer a loss in the confrontation of the Eternal Night Army, and it is best to fight for both sides, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman when the time comes.

"Haha...... A small Xiaoice city, just want to block the footsteps of the Cliff Clan warriors, this is wishful thinking, the heroic and fearless Cliff Clan warriors will let you know what is called unstoppable, we will step on the block of us together. ”

Yale laughed wildly, threw Gegild aside, and strode over to the clan warrior leaders to discuss the siege.

The mountain Kentana barbarians have small brain capacity, and they are not really brainless, and they do not rush to the city wall more than ten meters high with their bare hands.

Instead, they were stationed in place, driving those mountain people to cut down wood and build engineering equipment, except for a main force stationed outside the ice city, the rest of the team of hundreds of people scattered in a team of 100 people, attacking everywhere, probing the situation around the ice city, and at the same time driving those mountain people who were hiding in the surrounding mountains to prepare for the siege of the city.

Although the Eternal Night Army knew this, it was helpless.

After seeing the tall and tall barbarians of the mountain Kentana, the Eternal Night Army really did not have the confidence to go out to fight the other side in the field.

The racial differences are all too obvious.

In front of these tall people with an average height of two meters and two or three, the Andes people, who have an average height of only one meter six or seven, are a group of halflings.

In terms of strength and physique, it is completely crushed, and it is difficult to make up for it even if it is equipped.

The mountain Kentana barbarians with impure blood, with this virtue, what kind of real barbarians with pure blood and living on the Kentana ice field have become perverted?

Thankfully, those guys have been stuck in the huge ice field, otherwise the world would not know what virtue would become.

Gegild was completely blinded by hatred, so he would let such a group of people into the mountains to stir up trouble.

The soldiers of the Eternal Night Group Army secretly praised the wise decision of the high-level one by one, but fortunately they came up with such a clever method, otherwise the Eternal Night Group Army would definitely be in danger of annihilating the regiment and the army.

The only thing the Eternal Night Army could do now was to keep clamoring and provoking on the city walls, trying to lure the mountain Kentana barbarians to attack the city in advance.

Not to mention, this trick works really well for these barbarians with low rage points.

Many barbarians knew that the other party was doing it on purpose, but they were also red in the eyes of anger one by one, screaming, and rushed out of the camp single-handedly, trying to charge the ice city.

But as soon as he rushed out, he was thrown back by Yale, a giant-like human-bear, one in each hand.

In front of this powerful clan warrior, those barbarians with a violent personality also had to bow their noble heads as a sign of respect for their strength.

Yale is far more restrained and calm than it shows, especially in the face of war.

But the siege was still inevitable.

The calm restraint of the man-bear Yale is to wait for the gathering of strength and attack at his most powerful moment, not to be afraid of attacking the city.

As he told Gegild, the Cliff Clan warriors were fearless, and no city could stop them.

In fact, they also know that they only need to wait patiently for a few months, and this ice city will be self-defeating.

But they can't wait, because they also lack time.

Don't look at them as unstoppable now, but they are well aware of their flaws, and that is the number of people.

Those Andes are like rats, no matter how clean they straighten out, when they turn around and walk around, new ones will pop up.

And the seven or eight thousand clan warriors here are already all the strength they can handle, and they really lose one less one.

They must tear apart their living force before all the Andes can react, so that the entire mountain can be at their disposal and become the foundation for their clan's growth.

Tearing up the enemy's proudest thing and putting it in front of the opponent is the best blow to the enemy's spirit.

This was originally Daddy's life philosophy, but now it has become Yale's.

Not to mention that there is no other way out for the time being, even if it finds other ways to get around, Yale is not ready to do so.

Leveling the ice city and tearing all the enemies apart has become his primary goal.

The siege began early in the morning of the fifth day, and the sky was filled with sparse snowflakes.

The mountain people who were collected were like pigs being driven, equipped with rudimentary equipment, carrying ladders (long ladders) and crash cars (a sharpened log), and launched an attack on the ice city.

"Please, open the gates and let us go, we are all innocent, we don't want to do this. ”

"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, we're all our own people. ”

"There are also old people and children here. ”

"Help us, please, save us, we don't want to die, we want to live!"

The Andes, who had been driven by the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains, trembled out of the walled city under the butcher's knife of the other party.

Seeing that the barbarians did not follow up at the first time, many people threw away their rudimentary weapons and siege equipment, and ran wildly in the direction of the ice city, shouting loudly as they ran, hoping that the people of the city wall would open the city gate and save their lives.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The orders of the officers of the eternal night on the city wall came and went, but a large part of the soldiers of the eternal night, who had always forbade it, hesitated and did not let go of the bowstring in their hands.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the Eternal Night Army's lack of war experience were undoubtedly exposed.

They had faced Andean people before, whether they were Andean or not, but they were 100% sure that they were the enemy, and it was understandable to launch an attack on the enemy, without any psychological burden.

The attack against the Walled City Alliance was even more overwhelming, and those generals did not drive the ordinary mountain people to defend, or rather, there was no chance.

At this moment, they are facing innocent mountain people who have been driven away by those barbarians, and many of them can't get over the psychological hurdle and can't do it, even if before this, the captain and the deputy captain have repeatedly done ideological work on them.

"Shoot the arrows! Release the arrows! I ordered you to release the arrows, didn't you hear? soldiers, carry out the order!"

Those captains and vice-captains were all angry, and they kicked at the hesitant soldiers of the eternal night, and their regimental commanders and generals were watching from behind, and their faces were lost by these fools.

"Captain, I can't do it, they are all innocent mountain people, why don't we open the city gate and let them in!"

A soldier of the eternal night looked at his captain with a pleading expression.

"Bastard, you bastard, just your kindness, we're all a bunch of cold-blooded bastards?"

"If you don't look at the situation on the other side, once the city gate is opened, not only will they not survive, but we will also have to be buried with them, and hundreds of thousands of people behind them will have to be buried with them. ”

"Soldier, pick up your bow and arrows. Shoot, this is an order, all the sins, all the debts, are borne by me, it has nothing to do with you, you just carry out the order!"

With a dark face, the captain roared hoarsely as he pointed at the barbarian army outside the city.

The mountain Kentana barbarians, though not directly following, were ready to charge, and at the slightest sign of a breach or a wide opening of the gates, they would flood in.

"Shoot the arrows, soldier, don't force me to enforce military law!" By the end, the captain's Eternal Night saber was unsheathed.

"I'm sorry!" the soldier of the eternal night finally closed his eyes and let go of the bowstring in his hand.
