"Chapter 289: The Moat"
''The magic barrier is broken!'' The other party has a war saint! “
At the head of White Oak City, I don't know which soldier shouted so indiscriminately, but it was this mouth that caused a riot among the kingdom's troops. The Magic Enchantment www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" Pavilion is an important defensive force of the White Oak Tree, and even the city walls are not comparable to the long-range heavy fire defense effect of this magical defense barrier. Because the heavy firepower of the Freedom Alliance has always been a headache for the kingdom, the kingdom attaches great importance to this barrier, and once this magic barrier is broken, then the damage to White Oak City can be imagined.
And the most terrible thing is that that sentence woke up the people on the city wall, there is a war saint on the other side, and when these warriors remember how terrible the opponent of the war saint level is, even the elite troops will inevitably riot. There has always been an unspoken rule among the major powers, a strong man at the level of a war saint cannot casually attack an ordinary soldier, of course, if the other party provokes you, it is an exception. If you make a random move, it may cause disgust among the major powers, and the war saint will also have a bad time in the circle of the strong. Moreover, the powerhouses of the Battle Saint level have always had no feelings for this, so although this so-called rule can't restrain them, they are willing to abide by it.
Of course, if there is an unknown war saint of unknown forces on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if they don't follow the rules, and if there is no one at the level of a war saint on the other side, then the other side is afraid that it will suffer. Of course, once the other party intervenes excessively, then the dispatch of the country's War Saint will also be immediate.
But now, for the kingdom's troops, a war saint is more deadly news than a hundred thousand troops. No one present could stop a War Saint, and after the collapse of the magic barrier with outstanding defensive ability, the War Saint's actions were more free, and if the other party made a move, it would be impossible to defend the city walls in cooperation with the siege army. There was a commotion in the kingdom's troops, and the soldiers were a little panicked, and even the intensity of the attack was greatly reduced.
But at this time, a high-ranking officer of the kingdom stepped forward and cut off the head of the screaming soldier with a sword, and then took the lead in taking up arms and began to fight back against the enemy, shouting at the troops. The morale stabilized, and at this time, the war saint in the sky not only did not attack them directly, but retreated far away, turning into a golden light and flying back to the opponent's camp, and the soldiers of the kingdom defending the city also breathed a sigh of relief. Whatever the reason, as long as the opposing War Saint stopped attacking, it would be beneficial to them. If it was only a frontal siege, they would still have some confidence to hold on. So the warriors plucked up their courage again, and as they had done before, they picked up their weapons and began to fire at the enemy troops under the city.
Indeed, Isabella stopped attacking and turned back to rest, of course it was not because she didn't want to attack, the system troops were very strict with their orders, no matter how high they were, and the princess was no exception. However, before attacking the enchantment this time, Isabella obviously felt some kind of special aura, and had some kind of communication with the other party very briefly. The intensity of that aura was no weaker than Isabella's, and it was also very polite. Although it was only a brief exchange, Isabella still understood what the other party meant, and the other party hoped that Isabella's move would be stop, otherwise White Oak City would stage a battle at the level of a war saint.
We only have Isabella, a war saint, and our power is not too big, so it is not suitable to be too arrogant. And the other party's strength is not weak, maybe there will be any special weapons or moves, once there is an accident, I can't afford it. And most importantly, our three-way army is strong, and I don't think the other side will be able to stop our army after losing the magic barrier that is the most troublesome thing for us. Even if Isabella is gone, we have the confidence to take this impregnable city and defeat the kingdom!
The army quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, in front of which was a moat more than ten meters wide, and the suspension bridge had already been hung high, and there was no other road in front of us. After coming to this world, I have also seen a lot of cities, some of which are relatively strong and have heavy military use, and I have also seen the city defense project of moats, but those previous moats can be said to be small ditches, and two skeleton soldiers can build a bridge on top of each other (anyway, they don't have to think about breathing), and they can't stop us at all. However, this time, the moat was a bit tricky, not only wide and deep to block the attack, but also within the range of the opponent's city defense weapons, which was a problem for our attack.
The huge skeleton force was blocked by the moat for about a minute, and at the same time, many skeleton soldiers were killed and injured by the opponent's long-range attack. But soon we decided to attack, and the skeleton army went into the water one after another, even if they didn't know how to water, they also formed an underwater march route by stacking arhats in the water, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of skeleton soldiers jumped into the water, holding each other and advancing to the opposite shore under the water.
As for the other troops, they also have their own methods. The boar knights were the best to do, shouting slogans loudly, and the boars jumped over the moat with a single leap in their crotch, and began to harass the troops under the White Oak City, while striking at the weak points of the walls, causing small but negligible damage. They would also jump high and throw hammers to destroy the protruding towers, causing some trouble for the defenders of the city. The knights crossed the river directly on their horses, and the barbarians jumped into the water and swam towards the opposite bank. The army began to cross the river quickly, and the Elemental Matrix Towers in the city were unable to attack under the pressure of our artillery.
After the lesson learned last time, I have no doubt that the other side will freeze the moat by freezing the moat and freeze our troops into ice in the river, so even if our cannons can't hit some of them, they must fire at the Elemental Matrix Tower, in order to contain the opponent's actions.
However, I found that I still lacked the strategic literacy and thinking style of a good military commander, and I still didn't think about it thoughtfully, and Mei Long and they hadn't considered this situation before, so we were severely pitted by the other party.
I never expected that the water of this moat was drawn from the river upstream by means of magic instruments and hydraulic tools, nor did I expect that they would have a sluice gate at the bottom of the river that controlled the flow of water upstream, and when the water level of the moat suddenly rose and washed our troops downstream as it was crossing, I was sure that I uttered a word in anger that I had been reluctant to say.
"I CTMD"
My heart was almost filled with anger and anger, and I finally understood the feelings of those who were defeated by the enemy general's stratagem in those novels, and believe me, it was definitely uncomfortable. Because of this, I, who had almost never scolded my mother, not only scolded and greeted the other mother, but also almost broke the telescope in my hand. The troops behind us also stopped crossing the river, and the troops who crossed the river had to face the onslaught of the opposing walled troops, but it was difficult to withdraw (with the exception of the Boar Knights, of course). Once again, the attack was deflated, and we had no choice but to gather our troops and run a few kilometers downstream to get the skeletons up.
I have to say that although I am aggrieved and annoyed, I still admire the other party's commander a little.
Now I really want to find a magician who can control the flow of the river, so that they can also taste the feeling of flooding the city.
