Chapter 648: Rain of Arrows
"Boss, although the Zhao family is the ruler of Andy City, but the Zhao family is now being suppressed by the imperial family and the three major families, and the empire has mobilized an elite army to forcibly attack Andy City, and we are now in the arms of the Zhao family, not only has no future at all, but will become cannon fodder for the Zhao family!" As soon as the scarred man's voice fell, a thin man with triangular eyes retorted loudly.
"You know what! Let me tell you, with the strength of the Zhao family, it can definitely block the suppression of the imperial family and the three major families, and smoothly become the fourth largest family in the empire. Of course, if we throw ourselves into the arms of the Zhao family, we will definitely serve the Zhao family, and maybe we will die tragically on the battlefield! However, since ancient times, there has been a saying that if you want to get a good future, you must take risks, you must fight with your life, if you want to live a stable life, then it is best to go home and buy a few acres of land to farm at home! Hearing the triangular-eyed words, the scarred man said with a calm face.
"Boss, you're right, since ancient times, it has been a dangerous quest for wealth, if you don't want to take risks, you will have great wealth, how can there be such a good thing in the world! I am willing to follow the boss and fight for a future with the boss! As soon as the scarred man fell, an elite guard responded loudly.
With one of the elite guards, the other guards also responded loudly. Since they are willing to come out to be a guard for the magnates of Andy City, and they are willing to work for the magnates of Andy City, then they don't care about the risk of defecting to the Zhao family, and are willing to fight with their lives for a future!
"Dashuai, according to the report of the spies, the Zhao family purged the powerful families in Andy City last night, not only killing the thirty-six powerful families in Andy City, but also confiscating the property of the thirty-six powerful families, and obtaining a large amount of materials and money! After some purging by the Zhao family, there are not many families in Andy City who are willing to be loyal to the empire, and even if there are, they don't dare to take the initiative and serve the empire! A big man wearing the armor of a high-ranking officer entered the tent of the dragon dive and reported loudly.
Hearing the report of the senior officer, Long Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and he said loudly: "Give me a detailed account of the Zhao family's purge of the magnates in Andy City!" ”
As soon as Long Qian's voice fell, the senior officer hurriedly recounted the news fed back by the spies in detail.
After listening to the senior officer's account, Long Qian sighed helplessly and said: "I didn't expect the Zhao family to be so ruthless, and directly use thunder methods to sweep away the unstable factors in Andy City, it's really incredible, isn't their Zhao family afraid of causing turmoil in Andy City?" ”
"Dashuai, after the Zhao family's purge, the entire Andy City has become a monolith, and the difficulty for us to attack it has increased a lot, what should we do next?" Hearing Long Qian's sigh, the senior officer was silent for a while before asking softly.
"According to the original plan, early tomorrow morning, the army will be dispatched to attack the steel plant in Qingfeng Valley in Qingfeng Mountain, and attract the defenders in Andy City!" Hearing the senior officer's words, Long Qian pondered for a moment before speaking softly.
"Yes, Dashuai!" As soon as Long Qian's voice fell, the senior officer responded loudly, turned around and left Long Qian's big tent, and walked in the direction of his troops.
In the early morning of the second day, more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the Emerald Country, after eating a full meal, wore armor and held sharp weapons, left the garrison and rushed towards the direction where Qingfeng Valley was located.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
When the more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the First and Second Legions of the Emerald Kingdom Standing Legion approached the fortress at the entrance of Qingfeng Valley along the avenue built by Andy City, a crisp bell rang above the fortress wall, and the soldiers on the city wall raised their vigilance and sounded the battle horn.
At the same time, the 20,000 guards stationed in the barracks below the fortress quickly assembled and began to enter the fortress in an orderly manner, ready to fight at any time to meet the invading enemy.
Thousands of kilometers away from the fortress at the entrance of Qingfeng Valley, Long Qian, wearing golden battle armor, looked at the majestic fortress in the distance, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "A large number of mechanisms are installed on this fortress? ”
As soon as Long Qian's voice fell, a senior officer beside him hurriedly replied loudly: "Great Shuai, the Wind Thieves Regiment once attacked the steel factory, but as soon as the people of the Wind Thieves Regiment approached the foot of the fortress, they were covered and killed by dense arrows, leaving a large number of thieves' corpses behind!" ”
"Now that we know that this fortress has a large number of mechanisms, we can't risk the lives of imperial soldiers, what can you do to break the mechanisms of this fortress?" Hearing the senior officer's words, Long Qian asked softly.
"Great marshal, this fortress is surrounded by mountains on both sides, one side is in the valley, we can only attack one side of the fortress at most, the troops invested at one time are extremely limited, it is extremely difficult to capture this fortress, and we must pay a great price!
As for how to break the mechanism of this fortress without sacrificing the lives of Imperial soldiers, it is very simple! We just need to arrest the people of the nearby villages and towns, let these people go ahead, and make the defenders in the fortress feel jealous and dare not activate the mechanism! As soon as Long Qian's voice fell, a senior officer hurriedly responded loudly, his face exuding a strong look of confidence.
"Bastard! The people of the nearby villages and towns are all the people of our Emerald Country, how can we catch them as cannon fodder! If you can't help it, keep your mouth shut, and you're not allowed to make such bastard advice in the future! As soon as the senior officer's voice fell, Long Qian immediately scolded loudly.
If he is in an enemy country, Long Qian may accept this senior officer's suggestion, but this is in his own country, if he Long Qian dares to do this, he will wait to be scolded to death by the people of the empire, and the empire will lose the hearts of the people, and he Long Qian will become a ghost under the knife of Long Kun to win back the hearts of the people!
Hearing Long Qian's scolding, and seeing the angry look on Long Qian's face, the senior officer immediately knew that Long Qian was angry, and quickly closed his mouth, not daring to speak!
"Great Marshal, since ancient times, there have been no immortal in siege warfare, and we can't dare to send people to attack this fortress because we are afraid of the dead! Since the mechanism of this fortress is a sharp arrow, we can send fewer soldiers and let these soldiers raise their shields and move closer to the fortress to trigger the burst mechanism! When the look of anger on Long Qian's face disappeared, a senior officer on the side said loudly.
"Just do as you say, first send a team of 1,000 people to test this fortress and see how powerful this fortress's mechanism is!" Hearing the senior officer's words, Long Qian pondered for a moment before nodding lightly.
Although Long Qian didn't want to sacrifice the lives of imperial soldiers, he couldn't stop because he was afraid of sacrifice and didn't dare to attack the fortress, so he could only send as few imperial soldiers as possible to reduce some losses.
With the order of Long Qian, a thousand-strong brigade of people with a huge shield came out of the ranks and cautiously approached in the direction of the fortress.
When this thousand-man brigade approached within 300 meters of the fortress wall, sharp arrows shot out from above the fortress wall, turning into a dense rain of arrows, enveloping the body of this thousand-person team, with a posture of wanting to submerge this thousand-man brigade.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A crisp sound of metal collision continued to sound under the fortress, and sharp arrows poured into the shield in the hands of an imperial soldier like a torrential rain, and the sharp edge, under the action of powerful power, directly pierced the shield defense, and stabbed into the body of the imperial soldier, making the imperial soldier let out a terrible scream and became a cold corpse.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of sharp arrows were all poured down, and a thousand-strong brigade approaching the walls of the fortress was completely annihilated, each of them covered with sharp arrows and nailed to the hard ground.
Seeing that a thousand-person team of his own side, under the blow of the fortress's arrow mechanism, the kung fu disappeared in the blink of an eye, Long Qian, who was wearing a golden battle armor, frowned slightly, and said to a senior officer beside him: "I am sending a thousand-person team to try the fortress's mechanism!" ”
As soon as Long Qian's voice fell, the senior officer hurriedly responded loudly: "Yes, handsome!" ”
After saying that, the senior officer conveyed Long Qian's order, and a thousand-strong brigade came out of the ranks, holding huge shields, and cautiously approached in the direction where the fortress walls were.
When this thousand-man brigade approached within 300 meters of the fortress wall and entered the place where the previous thousand-man team was, tens of thousands of sharp arrows poured out from above the fortress wall, like a torrential rain, and shrouded the body of the thousand-man team.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
In the crisp sound of metal clashing, tens of thousands of sharp arrows, under the action of huge kinetic energy, easily broke through the defense of the shield and shot into the body of a soldier, causing it to let out a terrible scream, nailing it to the hard ground.
