Act 430 Harassment of the Undead
Bai Gang stretched out his foot and kicked the ground full of ashes, looked at the smashed well not far away, and sighed:
"Is the scorched earth policy, it's really miserable......"
Cao Yu stood next to him and said, "Fortunately, we are here in this crusade, otherwise, with the transportation capacity of those aborigines, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight far." ”
"Yes, relying on livestock to pull carts to transport supplies is unbearable on the road alone."
The two were talking, when suddenly Bai Gang's headphones rang.
"Earl, the water from the well has come out, we have conducted a preliminary test, and there is no problem with the water quality, and those bones are probably intended to continue to use the water here after recovering the lost territory, so they are not poisoned."
"That's great news."
Bai Gang clenched his fists excitedly, compared with food, the crusading army's consumption of water is greater, it is impossible for a large army to rely entirely on the rear to transport water to maintain, the surrounding rivers have been polluted, and can only rely on wells, and now the water problem can be solved on the spot It will help a lot.
In fact, according to the order of Dritan the Abyssal, the undead lords in the east should carry out the most complete destruction of the water sources in their respective fiefdoms, and the means are naturally poisoning.
When it comes to poisoning, the undead can be said to be the best of experts, and they are many times more advanced than the practice of throwing corpses into the water in the ancient wars of the earth.
It can be said that as long as the undead lords have enough confidence, then even if there are a large number of masters in charge to purify, it will be a month before the crusaders want to reuse the water here.
However, it is clear that these undead lords did not strictly follow the orders of Dritan the Abyssal.
From Dritan the Abyssal, it is clear that the more complete the destruction, the greater the advantage, but it is different for the local lords.
Their territory is here, and they will still have to come back after the war, and the food will be counted, and the crops of this season will not be counted on, but if the facilities such as wells are really completely destroyed, won't it cost a lot of money and time to repair them when they return?
What if another crop is delayed because of these restoration efforts?
You must know that the food of the Eternal Holy Sect was originally expensive, but now that the war and the scorched earth policy came out, it will rise to the sky! Who wants to be afraid of killing their own hen that lays golden eggs?
Besides, if others destroy production facilities such as wells, but keep their own, then after restoring the territory, wouldn't they be able to resume production faster, so that their crops can grow better and make a lot of money?
Moreover, digging a well is a very troublesome thing, it takes a lot of time, and it also needs to be guided by a professional old craftsman, not to mention magic, and the soil magic digging pit will cause the surrounding soil to be too loose, which is not helpful for digging a well at all.
Therefore, the undead lords thought that it was enough to destroy the well and pollute the river, and that repairing the well was easier than purifying the groundwater, and the flowing river water would take away the toxins, and by the time they returned, it would be basically usable.
It's strange that usually these undead lords seem to be very clumsy in things other than fighting, but when it comes to this kind of thing involving money, they become shrewd.
Well, almost all of the Eastern Lords are so shrewd that they can easily find a safe source of water.
The Undead Lords didn't know how easy it was to re-dig a well with the power of machinery.
Suddenly, there was another thunderous sound in Bai Gang's headphones.
"Count! Something happened! Undead! A large number of undead are heading in the direction of the well, and I don't have enough fighters here, and if those bones try to poison the well, I am afraid it will be too late to stop it! ”
"Damn, those bones are ghostly! How many skeletons does that cult have raised in this land!? ”
As soon as he heard Lei Yiming's words, Bai Gang knew what was wrong, this kind of harassment had appeared intensively many times in the last few days, and each time a large group of skeletons and ghouls pounced overwhelmingly, all of which were targeted by the supply convoy of the crusading army!
Fortunately, there is a storm base, the supply of the crusading army has been fully mechanized, and the engineering troops are also making every effort to lay improvised tracks, and the supply can be completed by rail in the later stage.
If you switch to the cattle and horse convoys of the Anglian Native Army, it will be difficult to completely stop the undead with absolute numerical superiority, even with heavily armed guards.
I don't know which cursed bastard undead came up with the idea, but these low-level skeleton soldiers all carry a kind of clay pot full of mud, which is the work of the undead, full of dark energy and disease-causing bacteria, and it only takes one can of sludge to contaminate an entire cart of supplies.
Even the guards in full armor are embarrassed, and if they are not treated by the priest in time after being doused with this mud, they will die! And even if it is cured, it is very likely that within a month or two it will be in a weak state similar to a cold, and it will not be able to go to the battlefield.
Before, these damn bones attacked the convoy, and the driver only needed to step on the accelerator and accelerate to solve most of the problems, but now the target of these skeleton attacks is the immobile well, and the white steel doesn't want to destroy the wells that have been so hard to build, and God knows how polluting the sludge is.
"Everyone, follow me!"
When Bai Gang led the guards to Lei Yiming's side, the skeletons that could not be seen at a glance had already begun to charge, and Lei Yiming's people drove an off-road vehicle to rampage in the sea of skeletons, and the barrel of the gun was red from the heavy machine gun. But none of this stopped the skeletons from flowing through the cracks of their defenses.
After a few glances, Bai Gang immediately judged that the target of these undead was definitely not humans, but the well!
Bai Gang didn't have time to think about why a group of skeleton soldiers who didn't even have the wisdom could know to attack the well, so he immediately let his soldiers with the Yuelong individual armor block the well, and protected the mouth of the well with his body.
Compared with the well-drilling team under Lei Yiming, the guards with the all-round protection of Yuelong's individual armor are not afraid of being drenched in sludge.
The skeleton soldiers of the Eternal Holy Cult are much better than the skeleton soldiers of other undead forces, at least there is less rust, but they are still useless in front of the individual armor of the Leaping Dragon.
Those infantry were like an impregnable wall, completely blocking the route of the undead to the well, and a large number of skeleton soldiers smashed into pieces on them.
