Chapter 1334, Invasion Operations
At the same time, on the other side, on the southern battlefield, the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds can be said to be firing at both ends.
The Yangtze River Fleet swept through the enemy's coastal cities all the way, although Charlie Crumbel had ordered the shipyard to temporarily requisition a large number of civilian ships, convert them into warships for combat, and lay a large number of mines in an attempt to block the Yangtze River Fleet's offensive.
However, a group of civilian ships temporarily equipped with weapons and armor, even if they are combined with mines, it is basically impossible to beat the steel warships of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization!
At this moment, the naval combat power of the Yangtze River Fleet can be said to occupy an overwhelming advantage.
And Charlie Crumbel can only keep throwing money and resources in order to block this life-threatening steel fleet, and the situation is like entering a vicious circle.
And during this period, the only thing that can make him breathe a little relief is probably the battle situation in Manning City in the north.
Unlike the sea situation, which was basically close to collapse, the Grand Canal, as an important shipping route in his empire, was like a moat, completely intercepting the expeditionary army of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds on the other side.
Under the cover of night, the patrol forces on both sides, and even the air troops, continued to be vigilant against each other, without any relaxation, and even on both sides had set up temporary trenches with their backs to the city.
This seems to be a stalemate situation, but in fact it is more tense than anyone else, and any trace of relaxation and carelessness may be seized by the other party.
And it was in this state that on the other side of the canal, a force was moving with an incomparably swift movement.
"Confirm the surrounding enemies."
"Over the other side, there is a team of Sky Wing species patrolling."
"On the ground, a patrol has just passed."
"Inform the air force and lure that team of Sky Wings away."
"Yes."
After a while, a team of Eagle Knights, who were also in charge of night patrols, flew quickly.
Because of the aerial field of view, the alert range is often greater than that of the ground forces.
The air forces of both sides almost simultaneously discovered each other's existence.
Similar things happen a lot during this time.
So at this moment, both sides were extremely vigilant, but they didn't feel too much surprise.
Across the canal, the eagle knights flew away unhurriedly.
The Sky Wing Race team on the other side subconsciously followed, obviously eyeing the Giant Eagle Knight team, lest the other party take advantage of their unpreparedness and fly across the canal and break into their position.
In the darkness, looking at the Tianyi Seed Team that was led away, the leader exhaled a long breath.
"They'll be back soon, hurry up!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him had already taken action.
Whether it's rowing across the river or building a bridge across the river, the efficiency is too poor, and at the same time, the movement is too loud and will definitely be discovered, so this time, they have to use a slightly special method.
Under the cover of night, several elven marksmen quickly bent their bows and arrows.
At this moment, the wind-chasing arrow on their strings is specially processed.
The entire shaft of the arrow, including the feathers at the end and the arrow at the top, is painted with a special coating, which is absolutely non-reflective black, almost to make this arrow blend in with the night.
The arrow part is specially customized, and the shape of the barb is made......
Without hesitation, the special wind-chasing arrow quickly broke out of the string, and after flying a distance of hundreds of meters, with a soft sound, it directly sank into the opposite bank of the city, above the wall of a house.
After an arrow was shot, the elven marksman standing on the opposite bank pulled the rope that connected the wind-chasing arrow, and the barb of the arrow made it clasp to the wall, and the other end was firmly tied to the trunk of a large tree.
Needless to say, the bridge across the canal had already been built, and the black shadows that had been waiting for a long time were quickly moving at this moment.
They were as light as swallows, but at the same time as fast as the wind, one of them jumped up, easily stood on the rope that was only one finger thick, and then ran incredibly fast, and in just a few blinks of an eye, they had already stepped on the rope and quietly rushed to the opposite bank.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, there is currently only one army with such skills, and that is the Windranger army from the steppe elf clan!
The height of the rope can be said to be just right, successfully avoiding the first sight of air and ground patrols.
Of course, the main reason is that I am afraid that no one would have thought that someone would be able to step on a rope and run silently across the river.
Due to the height difference, it is impossible to slide over with the help of some equipment, and at the same time, the movement is too large, so even if ordinary people use this method, they can only slowly grasp the rope and climb over, which is extremely time-consuming and will soon be discovered.
On this Grand Canal, patrols are carried out at intervals.
The Celestial Wing Squad that had been led away by the Giant Eagle Knight squad quickly turned back.
Seriously, the movements of the Windrangers can be called fast, but even so, it is impossible to let a whole army invade the opposite shore in one wave, which will undoubtedly take several more waves to get it.
Seeing a safe distance, the connected rope is neatly cut and quickly recovered.
And the part of the Windrangers who have already invaded the other side is temporarily looking for a place to hide.
It's not difficult for them.
After Manning City became a battlefield, all the citizens had already moved en masse, so on the other side of the river, there were many empty buildings, and it was too easy to find a hiding place.
Avoiding enemy patrols, and considering that they might need to respond to their own troops in the next few days, the Windrangers who had already secretly invaded did not plan to hide too far, but planned to find a hidden foothold in this area.
Finally, the location was determined to be a nearby factory.
To be honest, the environment is very bad, after all, it has been empty for several months, the dust has already formed a layer, and the interior is quite dirty, and the air quality in Manning City, which was already not very good, suddenly became worse after entering this factory.
However, while they are elves, they are also regular soldiers and professional soldiers, and the harsh environment is not unacceptable.
After all, leaving aside the bad environment, considering the current situation and the next actions, the space and location of the factory are quite good for them at this time.
