Chapter 748: The Great Army Arrives
After Cheng Yang and the others cleaned up the battlefield, they retreated to the fortress as soon as possible, waiting for the arrival of the barbarian army.
The more than a dozen barbarians controlled by Cheng Yang were also brought back to the fortress, and when the battle started, these barbarians could always play some role, at least as cannon fodder.
At this moment, the number of archers in the two fortresses has reached more than five hundred, all of whom have been teleported through teleportation gems, including archers, instrumentaturists, and priests.
The warrior professions have not been teleported for the time being, because with Cheng Yang's current tactics, if he really needs to use warriors, it is estimated that he will be about to fail.
In the following period, the flow of people on the Yellow Spring River never stopped, and these people were not barbarians, nor were they warriors of Luofeng City, but people who fled for their lives from the western part of Egypt.
Their faces were pale and they were in a hurry. When they passed the Yellow Springs Fortress, they only glanced at it for a moment, and then continued eastward.
Cheng Yang was also very indifferent to this, but in his heart, these people had already been blacklisted.
These people, after receiving help from others, do not even have the courage to fight the barbarians, which is purely muddy and cannot hold up the wall.
Of course, occasionally a few fighters asked to stay and jointly defend the Huangquan Fortress, and Cheng Yang did not refuse.
It's still very helpful for these people to stay, but to put it mildly, they can sometimes be used as cannon fodder, right? Cheng Yang's Flower Transfer Skill will not weaken the effect due to the target's low strength. In an extraordinary period, Cheng Yang could completely use these Egyptian warriors to organize a death squad and let a demon illusion lead the team into the barbarian army, and the effect was absolutely shocking.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the vanguard army of Luofeng City arrived at the Huangquan Fortress first. These armies were all cavalry units of the third, fourth, and fifth main legions, and they were much stronger than the infantry in speed.
With the arrival of nearly 200,000 cavalry, Cheng Yang was also a lot more relieved.
Don't think that the strength of Luofeng City's army is much weaker than that of the barbarians. You must know that Cheng Yang has the illusion of the four demons, all of them can use the aura of the blood domain, as long as one of the illusions of demons is sent to the army, the effect is definitely against the sky. What's more, Cheng Yang's current flower grafting skill has reached level 5, and the number of people who can be blessed has reached 80.
Perhaps because the 200,000 troops in Luofeng City gave confidence to the various forces of the Egyptian State, more and more Egyptian warriors remained, and even some of the warriors of the entire force remained.
At this time, Cheng Yang also began to step up the deployment of the defense system of the Huangquan Fortress.
The number of first stoppers should be further increased.
The Suez Canal is more than 200 kilometers long, and on such a long river, Luofeng City has to build fortresses one by one, and the cost is undoubtedly very huge. Cheng Yang planned to build a fortress at intervals of about five kilometers, so as to ensure that the arrow towers built in the fortress could completely cover the entire area.
Even so, if Luofeng City wants to build the Yellow Spring Fortress, at least nearly forty fortresses must be built.
These are no ordinary forts, but high-level forts. Such a fortress is not only of high grade in itself, but most importantly, the materials used are all high-grade materials.
According to Cheng Yang's plan, this will be the most solid fortress for humans to block the barbarian attack. Nature is to be built according to the highest rules.
Although Cheng Yang didn't know how powerful the barbarian country in the African region was, it was definitely much stronger than the orcs of the Levin country. Although Cheng Yang was very confident in his own strength, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could drive straight into the barbarian lair and go straight to the lair of the barbarians.
Luofeng City can now come up with these materials for building a fortress. But he wasn't going to do that. This time it is to help the Egyptian state to defend, how can the various forces in this country not have some blood? At the same time, there are quite a few major forces in the territory of Luofeng City, and each force is assigned some. It would be enough to build these fortresses.
After the fortress is built, it is natural to build an arrow tower or a magic tower, otherwise it will only rely on the force of Luofeng City. It was simply not enough to defend against the barbarian attack, especially some of the barbarian masters, who were able to easily rush under the fortress and pose a great threat to the defenders in the fortress.
These fortresses were built at a rapid pace, and by the evening, tall and majestic fortresses stood on the east side of the Yellow Spring River one after another, and more equipment divisions were stationed in the fortresses, ready to guard against the barbarian attack.
The news of the destruction of the barbarian front-line army did not spread, and the barbarian army in the rear naturally did not know the news.
The morning after the fortress was built in Luofeng City, the barbarian army finally came to the west side of the Yellow Spring River. When the leader of the barbarian army saw the barbarian corpses lying in front of him, his eyes immediately turned red.
It's not that he's going to cry, it's anger, endless rage.
It would have been nice if the corpses had just been killed, but the point was that they were still neatly arranged there, as if they were deliberately visited.
How could the mighty barbarian race ever suffer such an insult? Especially the humans who they have always seen as weak chickens?
"Array! Take these damn human fortresses for me. The barbarian general roared angrily, and the voice resounded for ten miles around, and even Cheng Yang, who was far away on the other side of the river, could hear it clearly.
The barbarian general's anger was even stronger than he imagined, Cheng Yang was quite satisfied with his arrangement, as long as these barbarians dared to fight, Cheng Yang was confident that they would break their teeth.
However, as the barbarian army began to move, an equally tall barbarian standing next to the barbarian said, "General, I think we should now find out how these people were killed. If we rush forward, it is likely that the outcome will be the same as these people. ”
"Booth, with those few humans, it's like killing us? You're too much of a morale booster for others and destroy your own prestige, right? The orc general said.
Booth shook his head and said, "These people who are lying on the ground now may have thought the same way before, so they are dead. As a matter of fact, the strength of the vanguard force we have sent is not weak, and in terms of average strength, it is even stronger than our current army. But don't you think it's weird that such an army didn't even attack the bridgehead and died directly across the river? ”
The barbarian general was a little awake, and although the army was now in formation, he did not immediately order an attack.
"Booth, you go and see how these people died." The barbarian leader commanded.
The corners of Booth's mouth curled slightly, and he rolled over and jumped off his mount, then walked to the pile of corpses in front of him.
After a few moments, he returned to the barbarian general, but his brow furrowed even tighter, as if he had discovered something incomprehensible.
"What's going on?" The barbarian general said impatiently.
Booth said: "General, the situation is a bit strange, although many of the clansmen died under the bows and arrows of humans, but many more clansmen died under the weapons of our kind, as if there was an internal strife between them. This...... It's impossible! ”
"You can't be mistaken, can you? Or is it the weapon of our people that humans imitate? The barbarian general said.
Booth shook his head and said, "Humans are much smaller than us barbarians, and too big a weapon is a burden for them. At the same time, the way humans make moves is also different from us barbarians, judging by those wounds, it is indeed the barbarians who do it. Moreover, the weapons scattered on the ground were all stained with the blood of the people. ”
The barbarian general was shocked and understandable, he couldn't imagine what was going on here, why there was infighting among the elite troops under his command. You must know that the armies of the barbarians have always been disciplined, let alone this cavalry.
"Look to see if Daru's body is inside." The barbarian general commanded.
Booth didn't ask much, and went straight down to make arrangements. It was undoubtedly very difficult to find a specific barbarian from the tens of thousands of corpses, and it was impossible for Booth to accomplish this task alone.
With the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, all the barbarian corpses were rummaged through, but nothing was found. Not to mention Daru, even the bodies of Olos and the others have not been found.
When Booth reported the situation to the general, the general's brow furrowed.
There are two possibilities for this situation, one is that this infighting is likely to be related to several high-ranking military officials such as Daru, who finally absconded in fear of crime. Another possibility is that Daru and other high-ranking officials died when attacking the fortress opposite, and the army was leaderless and disagreed, and finally broke out in this civil strife.
Both of these possibilities exist, and the one that makes the general feel the most likely is the second. There is no doubt that when this ironclad beast cavalry arrived on the west bank of the Yellow Spring River, it had launched an attack on the human fortress opposite, and the number was about 1,000 people.
It is very simple to draw this conclusion, because the corpses in front of him are exactly about a thousand or so less, and there is almost no high-ranking cavalry army left, and the barbarian general takes it for granted that the top of the vanguard army led the elite to launch an attack, and the whole army was tragically annihilated.
Thinking of this, the barbarian general couldn't help but hesitate a little, is the human being in the fortress opposite really so powerful? Even an elite army of fourth-order cavalry can hold it off? If the barbarian general knew that when the barbarians attacked the city at that time, the defenders in the fortress were only a few dozen, he would probably be even more surprised.
"General, I think something must have happened here that we don't know about, and it's probably a human conspiracy." Booth said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
