Chapter 32: Are You Stupid?
Huge groups of soldiers, dense and endless, marched under the pale winter sun along the frozen snow-white plains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a huge army, and it is impossible to see the edge at a glance, but just such a visual glance can not be remembered at least 100,000 people.
James swallowed a sip of gin, he was a little bored, he needed this to lift his spirits so that he could walk all the way to the end. His cheeks had begun to burn, and the flames had burned his eyes. And yet he still kept his sobriety, his eyes still as sharp as falcons!
The Kugit Khanate was sparsely populated and scattered. His task was to keep a watch around the army and not allow anyone to divulge information until the battle began.
"At three o'clock, there is a group of enemy troops, go to two squads and prepare for it, don't leave it alive!" James commanded.
"Yes, General!" Forty members of the Red Reserve obeyed the command of James and slaughtered the enemy forces in the distance.
Manid is leading his army of black dragons to transport his great 'black dragons'. His goal is the best city in the world for 'Black Dragon'. The capital of the Salander Sultanate, the city of Sharez, known as the city of many cities! I don't know if the most difficult city in the world can stop his world's first trebuchet 'Black Dragon'. But the trees along the road suffered, and Manid uprooted all the trees he saw and made them into four-wheeled carts, which were carried by the soldiers.
Raphael and Ragnar went hand in hand, and they commanded the main army of the Nord Kingdom except for Li Youqian's army. The Eagle Ragnar personally led the team, this army that once frightened the soldiers of the Kingdom of Virgia to the extreme, and would wake up in their dreams, finally left the border of the Kingdom of Virginia, crossed the Khugit Khanate, and went straight to the Sultanate of Saland.
Two months ago, Emperor Li Youqian predicted the cold late autumn of this year, and designed it to ambush the army of the Kugit Khanate.
Li Youqian said that Kugit was too weak to be worth fighting, so he led his army straight to the Saland Sultanate.
The Salander Sultanate was a desert country, and the soldiers, could not withstand this terrible cold. However, the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom enjoyed the weather like early spring and vacation.
Li Youqian's slogan to encourage everyone was unusually simple, "Defeat the Salander Sultanate, and from now on there will be no more snow in winter!" β
Ragnar's army strangely bypassed all the cities until they reached Ut, where they suddenly attacked!
The defenders of Ut, who were less than 3,000 men, attacked the 140,000-strong army of Ragnar the Eagle. Ragnar took the lead, mobilized the gods to descend to the earth and turned into the silver armor god of war, and personally led the Nord royal guards to rush up the ladder. As the world's largest siege force, the Nord royal guards took the walls of Ute City with a single charge. In a few moments, the gates of the city were wide open, and the city of Ute fell.
Ragnar seized the grain and grass of the city of Ut, and used the city of Ut as a springboard to attack the city of Shariz.
.
Ragnar had heard more than once of the city of Sharitz, the city of many cities. When I saw him today, I knew his majesty!
As the world's first famous city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its generous walls have withstood waves of attacks for thousands of years, and this is definitely the most fortified city in the world. The city has three tiers of walls. The three walls are higher than the other, and the outer walls have continuous concave and convex toothed low walls, called battlement walls, with battlements for archery and lookouts, and ventilation holes in the lower part to protect the wall. The city walls are covered with watchtowers. The towers are densely packed with battlements, which can effectively provide cover for archers. Each watchtower is also equipped with a giant war crossbow, a powerful weapon that can easily be pierced into trebuchets.
In addition, the inside of the city walls was also built with a ring road and a road to the city, as well as garrison rooms and weapons depots.
Just the first faΓ§ade is so powerful that it's hard to reach!
"Can we really capture such a powerful city?" Raphael was also intimidated by the city.
"Yes!" Since Li Youqian chose Manid as his representative, he naturally has a deep meaning, and the shameless Manid is very shameless, not only in life, but also in the military.
"There are three ways to siege the city, the best strategy, water and food attack! We have conquered all the nearby cities, cut off his food and grass, and even the largest cities will be destroyed! It's just that it's too costly and takes too long. β
Ragnar gave Manid a blank look, and that's what you say.
"Medium strategy, siege machine siege, such as trebuchet, building new castles, etc. I'm more inclined to that. β
"The next book is a storm, right?" Raphael asked.
Manid nodded.
Raphael wanted to step forward and slap him to death, why did the emperor send such a person, what is the use?
"There's nothing but sand here, no stones to make cannon stones, no trees to make siege engines, what can we do? Is it enough for you to bring the wood? Raphael asked.
"Enough, I still have this sand!" Manid leaned over and grabbed a handful of sand.
"What's the use of that sand! The desert sand is too fine to be used for construction at all. Ragnar explained.
"That's it!" Manid was a shameless man, and he could naturally come up with shameless tactics, such as, "Why don't we move the desert over?" β
"What?" Ragnar and Raphael were confused.
"Order, the army will surround the city of Shariz for me, and I will bury the city of Sharitz!"
.
The desert is too hot during the day, and at night. The soldiers began to move the desert on Manid's ridiculous orders. First, the soldiers used the limited timber to form one huge hollow after another to enclose one side of the wall. The soldiers were constantly transporting sand to both sides, burying empty troughs in them to secure them. Sharitz's soldiers sat on the walls and watched the Nord soldiers below toiled like fools.
All trebuchets throw sand at the city at the longest distance without stopping, especially the 'Black Dragon', whose powerful arm strength can even throw sand onto the city walls.
At first, the soldiers of Shariz were worried about whether they would be bombarded by the cannons, but when they found out that it was really just sand, they ignored it and left someone to guard it with peace of mind, while the others continued to sleep.
The sand outside Shariz grew higher and higher, from three meters at first, to five meters, seven meters, and by the time Sharitz's defenders finally realized that something was wrong, Manid had built a huge pile of sand outside the city of Sharitz. Nord's soldiers used pulleys to carry loads of sand to the top, and the soldiers poured the sand down one load after another. This kind of almost foolish behavior persisted to god-like effect. Needless to say, even the defenders of Shariz could guess that if they continued like this, sooner or later, the sand outside the city would form a platform, or even directly on the city wall, and at that time, it would be the end of Sharitz.
