Chapter 103: I Can't Escape
As time passed, the pits dug became bigger and bigger, but despite this, as the materials transported from the rear increased day by day, more and more people could be invested, and the efficiency was accelerating.
At the same time, reinforcements are also constantly marching into the city of Motie, originally there were 30,000 standing troops in the city, and during this period of time the troops were successively increased to 200,000, but the 200,000 army was stationed but there was nothing to do, because Luo Qiu did not attack the city at all.
The generals of all sides watched the big pit outside with an iron pot on their heads during the day, and gathered together for meetings and arguments at night. As the pit continued to expand, some people gradually saw the clue: "They don't want to dig directly across the city wall, right?"
No one has ever thought about this possibility, because no one has ever wanted to use manpower to dig a hole in the Himalayas, the amount of work is too large, and digging a hole one kilometer outside the city wall can have any effect on the city wall?
But as the pit gets bigger and bigger, everyone is horrified to find that the impact is there, as long as the pit is big enough.
When the pit is large enough, a large earth surges, and the sand near the city wall will be poured into the pit, and the whole city wall may collapse or hang in the air with a bang, and the city wall will be directly abandoned.
Extrapolating this possibility, everyone was stunned, it was just incredible, in order to tear down the city wall, so dig a pit bigger than the city?
No one wanted to believe it, but as the project progressed, this speculation gradually became a reality, but despite knowing Luo Qiu's intentions, Hopless and the others were horrified to find that they could not do anything.
"Can a city defense crossbow shoot at them?" Hopless asked.
"There's no shooting boundary, and I don't think crossbow arrows can stop these millions of skeletons, they can increase their forces at any time, and even if we shoot all the stones and bricks, it's not enough to average out each skeleton. "The Principality has sent several experienced generals, but no matter which one of them, they are helpless against this situation.
"What about the mages, what about our group of magicians, can we stop them?" asked Hoplis, irritating.
This situation made him feel very powerless, shouldn't siege warfare be about bows and arrows shooting at each other, magic bombarding each other, ants taking cities, and street battles?
"I think it's better not to bombard each other with magic, you see the car tent, there are at least ten or more great magicians who have appeared, and it is rumored that there are also magicians in the steel bone collar, I don't think our magician group can have any advantages, relying on the number of people? Alexon, the leader of the Magister Regiment sent by the main city, shook his head desperately.
When the magicians form a group, it will be terrible, their magic is chained together, synchronized and resonant, and they can exert the effect of one plus one greater than two, but if you want to play how much effect, you must look at the level of the commander-in-chief.
A group of high-level magicians led by a great mage may not be able to beat an intermediate mage group led by a mage, especially in this kind of city wall attack and defense, the casting distance of the defending side is determined by the other party, and the enemy is under the command of the archmage, if the range is farther than yours, then you can only fight hard and can't fight back.
"Besides, where do we fight? Hitting a pit is not the same as loosening the soil for the other party. Alexon said.
In fact, there was another reason why he didn't say it, how many magicians' magic power did he need to exhaust to destroy all of the millions of skeletons outside?
Hopeless said irritably, "Think of a way, guys, do something, you can't just watch it, right?"
As he spoke, he became more and more resentful of Ander and Akaros who caused such a catastrophe, but Ander had already thrown it to the skeleton below, and it was estimated that it had already been torn to shreds, leaving only one Akaros, and I don't know what the Grand Guild would do with him.
A bunch of generals and magicians discussed for a long time, and not long after, a banner was raised on the city wall: Your Majesty, King of Steel Bones, if you have something to say, you can talk about anything, there is no need to use a sword or a sword, let's talk.
Luo Qiu ignored the banner, because it was impossible for humans to agree to his conditions, not to mention that even if he agreed, Luo Qiu did not plan to talk about it, judging from the current situation.
Human beings have forgotten the horror of the steel bone collar, a few tax collectors, dare to impose heavy taxes on the caravan in the name of the steel bone collar, Luo Qiu suspects that the IP of the king of steel bones is not the largest IP in the mainland, in case the time comes, his own book is pulled out and sold, but the reader asks: Who is the king of steel bones?
It's time for all the intelligent species on the continent to regain their fear of the King of Steel.
Early the next morning, Mobuck reported that the pit had been dug.
At this time, one kilometer outside the iron city wall, a huge deep pit with a diameter of three kilometers and a depth of 50 meters was dug, and the steep side was close to 70 degrees.
"Get ready, tear down the wall at night. Luo Qiu ordered.
The skeletons, who had been busy all night, did not return to the pit between the pit and the city wall, but all retreated to the pit and dug the hole again and lay down, which alarmed Hope and the others.
"What's the situation, why did all the skeletons retreat to the back?" Hopless chuckled inwardly, thinking of a possibility, but he was lucky enough to ask the others if they had any other opinions.
The leader of the Wizard Regiment, Alexon, only glanced at it, and went down the city wall without looking back, and not long after, his subordinates reported that the Wizard Regiment had withdrawn from the Iron Grinding City.
Hopeless's eyes were dark, and he was helpless, because the mages had autonomy, they only obeyed the orders of the Grand Duke of Kamarel, and they had the right to retreat on the battlefield, even if it was the Grand Duke of Kamariel, they could not force them to die.
Now that the magician group has run away without saying a word, it is obvious that they have judged that the grinding iron city cannot be defended.
The walls of the Iron City are treated with anti-demons, but this kind of purely physical excavation, no matter how good the anti-demon measures are, are useless. They also have a lot of means of injuring and destroying enemy skeletons, but they don't make sense in the face of that sheer number.
This is the power that really makes people despair.
The generals of all sides glanced at each other a few times, and they also bowed to Hopeless and retreated, not saying anything, but looking at their posture, they were obviously preparing to run away.
Hopeless scratched his hair, he had been coming in a griffon since the first night, it can be said that he watched the pit outside dig bigger and bigger, and at first he wondered if these bone racks were funny, just digging the earth and not attacking the city.
Who knew that as soon as the intention was revealed, everyone realized that the head was funny, and people didn't need to attack the city at all, and they would dig down the city directly. This powerful engineering force made Hopeless and others deeply feel their own insignificance, and they couldn't even raise the heart to resist.
Sighing, Hopless himself slipped off the city wall and retreated to the flight point, even the magician regiment ran away, there was no point in him insisting on resisting, who knew that when he arrived at the flight point, he found that all the griffons had been ridden away.
The north gate of the grinding iron city opened, and the carriage of the magician regiment drove out at a gallop, with a rush of momentum. In a dwelling near the city gate, a ghost saw the scene through a window and let out a 'rui' laugh: "You can't run away." ”
