"Crunch ......!"

There was a slight noise at the gates.

Many cavalrymen of the Martial Spirit Empire rode in quickly, and this time, everyone did not lower their voices, and of course they did not shout loudly, but quickly rushed into the city, rushing to the military buildings in the fortress and the city wall on the other side......

After a period of time, all the 50,000 cavalry of the Wuhun Empire entered, and everyone easily wiped out all the defenders of the Star Luo Empire who were defending the city.

Meng De asked many soldiers to go to the permanent barracks of the fortress to place their horses and belongings, and then walked to the city wall facing north, that is, in the direction of Longxing City, and looked ahead.

In front of the Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress is a flat clearing, with a view of the lush Star Dou Forest in the distance on the left and the towering Tianling Mountains on the right.

Although the open space in front of it was flat, it was a bit narrow from Mende's point of view, and if hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered in front, it would inevitably not be able to spread out completely.

It's a good place to block.

The corners of Meng De's mouth curled up a little.

Next, he had the soldiers who had settled their belongings and horses divided into two groups, one group and one group went to the airfield to expand the Häagen-Dazs Pass.

The Häagen-Dazs Pass originally belonged to the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, that is, the Wuhun Empire, and it was natural that there was an airport here, of course, it was originally used to transport goods.

Meng De is now expanding in order to let it park the White Eagle 36 heavy bombers.

The White Eagle 36 heavy bomber is large in size and has a large load, which can not only be used to bomb group targets, but also to transport a large number of military supplies and be used as a transport aircraft.

Munder had just arrived at the Häagen-Dazs Pass, and was in urgent need of food, artillery, and arrows.

As for the rest of the soldiers, Meng De gave orders to leave the city and build fortifications to the north.

With thermal artillery, the role of the wall is greatly weakened, not for the attacker, but for the defender.

First of all, the artillery is heavy, and it is very difficult to carry it on the city wall, although there are many power-type soul masters in the Douluo Continent, but power-type soul masters are going to go to the battlefield, how many power-type soul masters will stay by the artillery all the time?

In addition, the location of the city wall is narrow, and if the artillery wants to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, it needs a wider striking surface, and the adjacent artillery positions also need to be spaced apart, so as to give full play to the advantages of the artillery more effectively, and at the same time avoid being overwhelmed.

On the city wall, Meng De went down the city wall after giving the order, personally went out of the city, supervised the work, and made reasonable commands at the same time.

He stood in front of the many soldiers, pointing to his feet.

"Everyone digs to this location, digging from west to east, the top width is 1.5 meters, the depth is 1.2 meters, and the bottom width is 50 centimeters, and the excavated soil is piled up to the north."

"Yes!"

A large number of soldiers responded, and then each bent down and brandished his shovel.

Outside the city walls, the sound of shovels touching the dirt kept sounding, and a billet of dirt flew outwards and was piled up on the side facing Longxing City to the north......

A few hours later, at about nine o'clock in the morning, the light cavalry under Mende finally dug the fortifications with sapper shovels.

If there were a traverser here, they would surely exclaim, isn't this a trench?

Trenches, a product of modern firearms warfare, because of the emergence of firearms, the city wall not only can not play a defensive role, but will become a burden, but also become the target of the enemy's artillery and bombers.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, the position of the city wall is fixed, and the place to move is narrow, and if a cannonball falls, it may be served by a pot.

A variety of reasons led to the emergence of trenches.

And what Meng De is now leading his troops to dig is the standard trench of the Blue Star textbook.

Of course, this was actually ordered by Qiannawei, who was familiar with all kinds of books and knew a lot about trenches, and had instructed her in advance when Mende led his army to attack the fortress of Häagen-Dazs Pass.

Outside the walls of the Häagen-Dazs Pass fortress, the dug trenches are curved, a bit like wavy lines, and a bit like jagged teeth.

Among them, there is not only one trench, but three from front to back, and each horizontal trench is connected by a traffic trench in the shape of "patrol".

It's a shape like the >!

Between each trench, there were some lots that were noticeably much higher than the others, and were topped with sandbags.

This is used to place the artillery, which is heavy and cannot be placed directly into the trench, otherwise it will not be able to move, and it can only be piled up in the trench.

Under the artillery was a very neat wooden and steel frame to bear the weight of the artillery.

Beneath the wooden and steel frames are dug trenches, which can be used for soldiers to pass through, and can also be used to avoid enemy projectile attacks, killing three birds with one stone.

The trench fortifications had been dug and the sky was already very bright, so Mende took a look, said "call it a day", and walked back to the city with many soldiers.

Entering the city, Meng De came to a breakfast shop and ate breakfast.

The long march of many days had almost exhausted the flour of Meng De and his soldiers, and he had to buy breakfast for the inhabitants of the fortress.

The Häagen-Dazs Pass Fortress also has ordinary residents, and there are cities and civilians, which is a characteristic of the Cold Weapon Era.

Inside the shop, a proprietor is standing in front of a large iron box, making breakfast.

From Mende's point of view, he could see that the iron box seemed to be made into a drawer-shaped, with three flat drawers, and boiling water underneath, which was constantly steaming.

Next to the boss, there is a large bucket of white rice milk, the boss holds a spoon in his right hand, pulls out the tin box drawer with his left hand, scoops a spoonful of rice milk in the drawer, and shakes it well.

After shaking well, the boss stuffed the drawer back into the original iron box and steamed it with the hot steam below.

It was the first time Meng De had seen this kind of breakfast, and there was no breakfast at all in the middle of the Martial Spirit Empire to the north.

He was very curious, pointed and asked, "Boss, what are you doing early?" ”

The boss smiled and replied, "Cheong Fun." ”

After answering, the boss asked Meng De, "This general, what kind of rice rolls do you want?" ”

"And there are different types?"

Meng De was amazed.

"Yes, look over there and order food."

The boss said as he raised his chin against the wall.

Meng De looked at the wall in the direction of the boss's chin and saw a signboard hanging on it, which stated the type and price of rice rolls.

Among them, there are four copper plates for egg sausages, five copper plates for lean meat sausages, six copper plates for egg sausages, six copper plates for beef sausages, one copper plate for eggs, one copper plate for bottoms, two copper plates for lean meat, and three copper plates for beef.

After reading it, Meng De pointed to the signboard.

"Boss, bring me an egg and meat sausage, add eggs and bottom."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The boss responded, and the production began. While he was making, he tentatively asked Mende.

"This general, you look very good, are you from the Martial Spirit Empire?"

Everyone who makes breakfast gets up early, and this cheong fun shop owner is no exception. It was a long time ago that he had noticed that there were many more soldiers on the streets.

Moreover, these soldiers were not wearing the full-body fine iron plate armor of the previous Star Luo Empire army, but the cloth clothes they were wearing.

Not a single piece of armor!

On the chest of each soldier, a golden wire seraphim pattern is embroidered, which is lifelike and shining.

The boss knew that the symbol of the Wuhun Empire was angels, so he immediately thought of the Wuhun Empire's military.

Inside the shop, Meng De nodded with a smile on his face.

"Yes, boss, we are the army of the Wuhun Empire, and we captured this city yesterday."

What do you do next?

Meng De waited for the boss's answer.

Meng De had already decided that if this boss was inclined to the Martial Spirit Empire, he would not do anything.

And if this boss is inclined to the Star Luo Empire, he will kill him on the spot, and at the same time make an example of the monkey to prevent future troubles!

Meng De is not a good person, he can be enthusiastic to help and take care of his own people, like a warm big brother.

But he will never be merciful to the enemy, even if he wants to slaughter the city, he will do it!

Slaughter of the city, a frightening word, from ancient times to the present, the slaughter of the city is an extremely frightening thing, many famous figures in history, as well as modern wars, have slaughtered the city.

Like Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Qin Huang, Yuan Meng, and when Japan invaded China, there were massacres of cities.

In fact, Mende's martial spirit is inherited from the Celtic mythology of the Child of Light, Setanti, whose famous weapon is the Gaborga Cursed Magic Spear!

As a well-known legend in Europe, in addition to being called "Kurin's fierce dog", another of his deeds is even more famous and terrifying!

The most famous event is that Setanti caused the "Six Massacres" that shocked the whole world, six massacres, a total of nearly 10 million people, including countless civilians, women, and children.

What's even more terrifying is that these were not done by the army led by Setanti, but by himself!

Historical legend records that wherever the Scarlet Magic Spear went, the people fled for their lives and were invincible.

If it is about the killing aura on his body, Meng De's murderous aura is not lower than that of Qian Fei'er, and even equal!

Therefore, Meng De never thinks that he is a good person, let alone admits that he is a kind-hearted good person.

In the store, the boss was affirmed by Meng De and immediately showed his attitude.

He suddenly turned his head to Meng De, his face full of surprise.

"Oh, General, you're finally here, we've been waiting so hard!"

"Huh? Did something happen? ”

Meng De was a little puzzled.

The boss nodded and told the story of these days.

It turns out that since the Star Luo Empire conquered the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, it has been adopting a high-pressure control policy for the inhabitants of the kingdom, not only oppressing, but also exploiting!

Within the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, all inhabitants were ordered to sell their grain to the Star Luo Empire.

Originally, selling grain could be exchanged for money, but it was not impossible.

However, the army of the Star Luo Empire was very arrogant and forcibly bought rice at the price of three catties of one copper plate.
