Chapter 247: Northland Storm V
Amazed... I was overjoyed... Some tangled... Heartache is so bad that I can't breathe... Heart disease is ......
In short, at that moment, even if there are thousands of brushstrokes and inks, it is not enough to describe one!
This is really afraid of comparing goods - several commanders in Luskan do not lack basic judgment, if they still thought that "this inn is really in the way on the pass", then the current mood is "it is better to cross the pass"!
That location on the hillside...... I thought it was mediocre before, but now I think it's so good.
As if the real fortress should be placed in that location!
Crossing the pass is just cutting off the road and obstructing traffic, but you have to face the impact head-on. But after moving, it becomes condescending, not to mention that the attacker has to attack from the back, and the fortress can also put the entire passage in view - think about the terrifying group of shooters before, and then try to pass through this passage, it is almost a blow to the head!
Anyway, the group of commanders swore that they would never pass through there!
Now it has become a gamble to go down this path again - it is not a question of who will survive, but who will live in the fortress shooters...... It's horrible.
Those who do not have a choice gamble, and those who have a choice must choose the safest. Ordinary Luskan soldiers were divided into two routes, one capturing the pass and the other side of the hill, and passing through the pass quickly. And several commanders and generals relied on the portal to pass safely, without taking any risks, let alone giving Shen Yan that shameless person any chance!
They had truly appreciated Shen Yan's methods, and clearly knew that the current commander of the fortress was not the somewhat brainless paladin of Erebes, but a sinister and cunning bastard who would rather die than suffer a loss!
Made...... Hasn't it always been our Luskan pit in the past, those righteous fools? It's funny to hear them shouting things like "how can you be so shameless", but why are they being transferred now?
……
On the city wall, Shen Yan regretfully lowered the lower wheel bow.
Moreover, I didn't even see a person with status, what about the basic trust between people?
*****
The next two days were spent in a vague confrontation between the two sides.
Luskan didn't take the initiative to attack the Crossroads Inn, on the one hand, because of the terrifying group of archers, before they ran out of strength or arrows, as many people would die if they went up! This has been proven;
On the other hand, Neverwinter is a much better target than the Crossroads Inn, and it's not worth wasting troops in this position. How much wealth can a fortress have? It definitely can't be compared to a city, let alone a commercial port city like Neverwinter.
The commanders of Luskan thought that they would not be afraid of being cut off by the Crossroads Inn, because there was more than one supply line in the first place. There are other passes, not to mention, more importantly, by sea, sea transportation is the main force of the army's supply, I will not talk about convenience.
The hard bones of the Crossroads Fortress can be left behind for now, and then cleaned up after taking Neverwinter.
In addition, there are also considerations regarding the distribution of interests after the war, the lack of shipbuilding and seafaring technology of the Reptile Empire, and the cutting and sealing of the Reptiles in a small area after the capture of Neverwinter...... All of the above is a conspiracy, and there is no need to go into details.
Under the urgent supervision, the entire Luskan rear army and supply corps quickly passed through this pass. Next, in order not to be stabbed in Shen Yan's back, this line will be abandoned before the capture of Neverwinter.
There were still some hiccups in the middle - I don't know if they were fooled or pitted by the Luskans - when the reptilian army arrived, they actually attacked the crossroads fortress again.
All of them are mainly reptile soldiers, about a thousand, all kinds of strange creatures (reptiles refer to semi-aquatic creatures, including lizards, crabs, etc., lizardmen are one of them) hula lala rush towards the hillside.
Small-scale attacks must not use a large weapon such as a steam heavy machine gun, and it is not even necessary to replace the fortress hidden in the secondary plane. Because the arrows couldn't be recovered like last time, Shen Yan waved his hand and changed to "explosive arrows"!
The sparse arrows fell into the swarm, and in an instant, a powerful explosion occurred, clearing out small blank spaces, and then quickly connecting into large pieces!
"It's like a regiment of magicians setting fireballs." The commander of Luskan shook his head and completely abandoned the idea of attacking. As for those thousand reptiles that are now on the battlefield? Nobody cares anymore.
"I don't agree, I'll let my people see, there should still be weaknesses to attack." The reptile commander who came to the meeting hissed. "It's just a hotel."
Immediately, a flying reptile soldier flew into the sky, five kilometers from the inn. But just as the soldier opened his eyelids to observe the layout of the crossroads inn......
A shining light pierced the sky!
"Whew!" An arrow pierced the head of the reptile! The soldiers flying in the sky fell in response.
Parabola? No, I'm a laser gun.
it!
The commanders immediately abandoned the command headquarters and ran frantically in the opposite direction of the inn for ten kilometers!
it! No one ever told me that that place was within range!
Is it scientific that a bow and arrow can shoot five kilometers?
Thinking about how Lao Tzu actually worked there for three days, it was a cold sweat......
If Shen Yan knew it, he would definitely roll his eyes, I wanted to shoot the two commanders to death before, just to impress you. If you really want to engage in decapitation tactics, can't we three legends do it?
Killing from the main gate to the command to kill everyone is also a successful decapitation tactic.
It's impossible for you to die now, and I'm still waiting for you to conquer Neverwinter...... This cannot be said now.
Says who? Stand rough, get rough.
*****
So far, there has been no contact between the two sides.
The Luskan army remained entrenched here for two more days, and it was not until it was confirmed that the main body of logistics had passed through the pass, and then they rushed forward and headed for Neverwinter. The army spread out, but there was no such hard roof as the Crossroads Fortress in other places, and the high cliffs and the sea of trees fell one after another, and only the more distant West Port was saved.
However, in a village like the Far Mountains that lives deep in the mountains, Luskan will not waste his troops to attack. As long as the Neverwinter City is conquered and the legal dominance is obtained, these places can be determined.
Only one battalion of soldiers was stationed on the opposite side of the hill to guard the crossroads fortress, so that they would not attack the rear of the army.
In fact, until now, Luskan had not figured out how many people were hiding inside the Crossroads Inn. Only a dozen people were observed from that day, and the news from the merchant spies was that more than a hundred people were stationed, which should be considered relatively reliable. Judging from the losses of the reconnaissance strikers before, even if it is calculated by one to two (one soldier causes two battle losses), I am afraid that it is more than a thousand!
You can't tell me where it's all ten at a time, can you?
Be careful.
……
“…… Yes, you see that I have let the Luskans pass through this pass, unscathed, through the pass we guarded! Let them attack Neverwinter, to plunder the high cliffs, to turn the sea of trees into a sea of fire, do you think we are intimidated? I'm scared! Scared! ”
Shen Yan stood on the high platform, pacing and speaking, and his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of the two hundred people below. Everyone stood up straight and listened quietly, and it was hard to say what was going on in their hearts.
The elves must be Shen Yan's will is their will, and the grace of preaching and solving doubts is greater than the sky! The orcs have no concept of a country at all, and in their opinion, it is normal to fight or not, and they are not always reckless. On the one hand, they felt that they should do everything they could to stop the Luskan army, but on the other hand, they felt that two hundred people had taken back more than three thousand heads, and they really did their best!
Otherwise, when will it be a head? Do you really have to fight all the people to finish it?
You must know that the elves accounted for more than half of the more than 3,000 battle results, but the most casualties in the battle were humans. There are now less than 80 of the more than 100 human soldiers who followed Erebes, and the casualty rate is over 20%! Was it pushed out to be cannon fodder? No, it's just that the skills are not as good as people! So what else is there to say? Shut up and listen to what the boss has to say.
"Of course not," Shen Yan smiled, he looked at his sister and Erastro who were sitting on the balcony opposite, and didn't continue to sell Guan Zi, "The reason why we did that is because our goal is here." ”
Shen Yan's finger pressed on the open map, and his finger followed Beidi Avenue to the north, then north, and finally stopped at a city.
The Iron Glove poked at it.
"Luskan, our goal is Luskan."
