Chapter 45: Canyon Fortress
The name of the fortress was thus decided, and Lu Rong told everyone the name when he went to help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoMany people complained about Lu Zhongli's incompetence in naming, but they didn't dare to show it, for fear that Lu Zhongli would give them small shoes to wear.
The Minotaurs settled down in the Canyon Fortress, and they joined the fortress. More than 20,000 people were stationed in the entire canyon fortress, and with the ability of magic, it took more than a year for the entire fortress to be completed.
During this period, the centaurs also attacked the canyon fortress several times, but in the face of the tall walls that had already been built, they were defeated each time. There was no open space on the outermost wall, and all the archers used the firing ports to shoot arrows inside the wall.
Moreover, there are more than a dozen tall arrow towers on the city wall, which are full of shooting ports, not to mention, and a huge crossbow arrow, which shoots wooden arrows as thick as an arm, all of which are natural elements condensed by the druids.
At the top of the arrow tower, there is also a platform reserved for the caster, on which the magic circle has been drawn, as long as the caster is guided, it will lead to thunder and lightning to attack the enemy outside the city.
In front of the city wall, there is a moat thirty or forty meters wide, and a huge thick wooden plank is erected on this side of the moat, which is to make it easier for people inside the fortress to get out of the fortress. This thick wooden board is already covered with fireproof talismans, and it is not afraid of fire. It is not afraid of arrows, even if it is bombarded with heavy objects, it is no problem, it can completely withstand a certain degree of physical attack.
It doesn't matter if you break through the moat and the first wall, because this is just an urn city. Next, we have to face the taller second wall, the second wall is more than 100 meters away from the first wall, this distance plus the height difference between the two city walls, can basically eliminate the possibility of the first wall shooting arrows at the second wall.
The protection of the second wall is more comprehensive than the first, the arrow tower magic platform is not counted, and there is also a magic tower, this magic tower requires a powerful spellcaster or many spellcasters to operate, and it can easily knock down the siege facilities on the first wall.
After the second city wall, you will enter the interior of the canyon fortress, which does not occupy a very large area, but in order to accommodate more people, the five- to six-story stone high-rise buildings were chosen when choosing buildings.
In this way, there are many more places to live, and with the addition of military camps, more than 20,000 people can barely live.
After the construction of the canyon fortress, Lu Zhongli first returned to Mogaolei with a large army, and went out for more than a year, and needed to go back to rest and recuperate, and the morale of the army was not very good all year round.
As for the Canyon Fortress, it was left to the two Minotaur shamans, Crowe Stonehorn and Clay Redtail, to manage it. Lu Zhongli also left them with 2,000 troops, which was enough to defend.
As for the Minotaurs of the former Ethelsor who temporarily reside in the Canyon Fortress, they have nowhere to go now, and the food is currently transported from Mogore.
With this fortress to recuperate, it is believed that the minotaurs will recover soon, but it doesn't matter whether they choose to go or stay. Lu Zhongli doesn't force them to join his snobbery, just like he doesn't force Lelar, he can let them choose.
However, many of the Minotaurs have joined the Canyon Fortress Garrison Legion formed by Crow, and they want to defend their new home with their own strength.
Centaurs are still wandering in the past and present, but they don't dare to attack the canyon fortress, which has devoured tens of thousands of centaur lives and scared the centaurs.
The establishment of a fortress temporarily restored calm to Ethelesso, and although the centaurs were still burning and looting here, there was no major war.
However, such a peaceful life does not last long. The minotaurs in the canyon fortress have not yet taken revenge, and they are silently accumulating their strength to take revenge on the centaurs.
"Huh!" "Huh!" "Huh!"
The minotaurs practice every day, live here, do almost nothing, and eat and drink to their heart's content. If it weren't for the hatred in their hearts, they might have been lost in this beautiful life.
For more than ten years, the Canyon Fortress did not send a single soldier to the outside world, and there was no source of food, and food and meat were always supplied by Mogore.
Those minotaur children have grown up back then, and after more than ten years of study, they have become powerful warriors. Now in addition to the garrison legion, the canyon fortress also has two legions, one is called the Fire Shield Legion and the other is called the Thunder Axe Legion.
Both legions are new snobbery of the Minotaurs, and both were formed by those Minotaurs who wanted revenge. The philosophy of the two legions is not very different, one is the Xuanwu formation that wants to defend and counterattack and learn. The other is the Canglong Formation that hopes to quickly defeat the centaurs with sharp attacks and learn.
The Canglong Formation is actually not a formation, but a dynamic formation researched by Lu Zhongli according to the blitzkrieg, three people are a group, three groups are a small team, three squads are a shock wave, and the three attack waves charge alternately, constantly impacting the enemy's formation.
This formation is all about one word, fast! It's so fast that the enemy doesn't even have time to defend.
It is because of this concept of attacking and defending that the current two legions of the Minotaurs have been created, and each legion has its own iconic weapons.
The Fire Shield Legion is the shield, and there are two shields, their shield is the weapon, one heavy for defense and one light for attack with a sharp blade.
The two-handed axes used by the Thunder Axe Legion, they are determined to take out an enemy with a single hit, so they choose the most powerful two-handed axe as a weapon. However, the material of this two-handed axe is very lightweight, and it is very strong, and each one is a peerless murder weapon.
The number of the two legions was around three or four thousand, and because the Xuanwu Array was more famous, the number of the Fire Shield Legion was slightly larger.
The two legions study the weaknesses of the centaurs every day so that they can easily defeat them, and every day they practice their killing skills so that they can easily kill the enemy.
"They're on their way!" Crowe Stonehorn reminded.
"I know." Clay Akao said, "I knew a few years ago that there would be such a day. ā
"Then why don't you stop them?" Crowe asked curiously.
"Why organize?" Clay asked rhetorically.
"Are they still children? Some of them are going to war before they reach adulthood. The young men in the Canyon Fortress are all here, except for my garrison legion. Crowe said.
"This is their fate!" Clay said: "More than ten years have not been production, and there is actually some inertia in them. Lu's intentions are good, but his actions have made these young people lose the meaning of survival. ā
"Then you're going to let death wake them up?" (To be continued.) )
