Chapter Seventy-Three, the Undefendable Copper Coin Defense Line
After Liu Daoqing left, the panda continued south to Port Molai, the capital of the Molai Federation.
The best way to reach the southern archipelago is by boat from Port More. There are regular flights from the Western Continent to the archipelago, usually once every half a month. If you are in a hurry, you can also take a cargo ship, and in the face of a strong martial arts paladin, most cargo ship owners will be willing to squeeze out a room and let him take a ride.
After all, the route from Port Mores to the archipelago is one of the most famous golden routes in the Western Continent. Huge profits naturally attract a large number of pirates, and these shark-like vicious creatures are almost everywhere, looking for any opportunity to make bloody money.
They were led by Barbarossa, the "Pirate King", and roamed the seas under his banner. These pirates all drove fast boats, ran when they encountered hard stubble, and fought when they could take them, and every year there were twenty or thirty ships wrecked because of them, and many of them were not even able to carry the boats.
So for those captains of cargo ships, it is too late for them to welcome the masters who want to get on board.
By the time Panda arrived in Port Molai, spring had come to an end, and the battle in the Norma Mountains was almost over.
Despite Duke Norma's attempts to mobilize his troops, the silver coin defense was eventually breached. Now the Molai army can only rely on the copper coin defense line to make the last resistance, and the Duke of Norma has begun to arrange for the nobles and valuable civilians such as merchants and craftsmen in the Norma region to evacuate.
The copper coin defense line is far less stable than the two defense lines of gold coins and silver coins, but it also has its own advantages, from the sky, this defense line is like a beehive, each mountain, a camp is each other's horns, can respond to each other at any time. And unlike most of the silver coin defense lines that choose solitary peaks and cliffs, the mountains of the copper coin defense line are quite majestic, and it really takes some time to collapse such a mountain - I dare not say more, three or five years are always needed.
If the copper coin defense line can really last for three and five years, then the Molai people will really wake up laughing from sleep.
It doesn't even take that long, as long as it can hold out for a year and a half, the pressure on the Thracians will be very great - the silver coin defense line is not the gold coin defense line, the terrain here is rugged, there is no place suitable for building a military camp, and the Thracians do not dare to build a military camp in the area that the copper coin defense line can attack, so every attack has to start from the gold coin defense area, and the logistical pressure and the problem of non-combat attrition plague them. This dragged on for a year and a half, and I am afraid that these two items alone would be enough to make the Thracians withdraw their troops.
However, will the copper coin defense line be able to hold out for a year and a half?
Hehe.
If you want to be strong, the walls of the gold coin defense line are specially reinforced, and you don't want to easily smash the boulders thrown by catapults on them, and if you want to say that the silver defense line is built in a rugged mountainous area, you can mobilize troops at any time through the ropeway system of luges.
But have they been guarding for a year and a half?
No.
So how could the copper coin defense line last so long?
Not to mention that the morale of the Molai army is already very low now, everyone knows that this battle will be lost, and the current battle of everyone is nothing more than to let the lords have a little more time to transfer resources. In such a situation, how can the soldiers be asked to boost their morale and fight bravely?
That's probably going to require a bald Yuri.
So in just four or five days, the first camp of the copper coin defense line was breached.
This speed made Duke Norma very dissatisfied, but he couldn't help it—unless he sent the Norma family guard to the front line at any cost, no matter how much he promised and rewarded, he couldn't raise the morale of the army.
The combat effectiveness of the Molai army is not as good as that of the Thracian army, no matter how low the morale is, there will be ghosts if you can hold it!
On the day that the panda came to Molaigang, he happened to hear the news that the copper coin defense line had been taken down.
He sighed, but he didn't feel surprised or disappointed, but contacted Liu Daoqing in a private chat.
"The Molai people are so unreliable, can you prepare your plan in time?" he asked.
Liu Daoqing replied after a while: "We don't know, the extent of waste firewood in Molai is beyond imagination, and now everyone is a little blind - if it is at this rate, our original plan of more than a dozen mountain peaks to collapse one after another will not be realized, and at most one or two will collapse is the limit." ”
"One or two peaks, how powerful is that...... They must have marched in long formations, and I don't see the use of a mountain or two of collapse unless you arrange a force on the hill to kill the enemy while the enemy is in confusion by the landslide. ”
"We think so too, and now there is a discussion about whether to try to store water in the mountains and make a flood to wash it away when the time comes......
"The collapse of the mountain is quite reliable, and it is better to store water on the mountain? Who would have come up with such a mentally retarded idea! How big would it be to be able to break down the reservoir of the army! With the effort to build such a large reservoir, wouldn't it be better to blow up two more mountains?"
"I think so too. ”
"Also, where does the water come from if you store water on the top of the mountain?"
"They said, let me go through the clouds and rain - I'm a dragon anyway, it's my job. ”
"Could it be that the magicians in the Thracian army are dead? Two light rains are of no use at all, and they don't hold much water. If you want it to rain heavily, won't people hold a magic ritual to disperse the rain clouds? If you want to deal with the entire Thracian army mage regiment alone, let alone you as an ichthyosaur, even if you find the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he will be tired and vomit blood—most of them are useless. ”
Seeing this, Liu Daoqing couldn't help laughing.
Of course, he knew that Panda was right, the Dragon King of the Four Seas in Dongtu was just a 70-level boss, and Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the Middle East Sea, was the head of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, level 79. Isn't this level awesome? Of course it's awesome! But to let a level 79 mage go head-to-head with a group of at least two or three hundred mages, ranging from level 30 to level 50, to fight against other people's joint magic rituals with their own strength?
Friend, do you see the piece of frozen tofu next to you? If you want to die, you can smash that one on the head, at least it's more comfortable.
If you want to do this kind of thing, the 70-level dragon kings are not qualified, and the 80-level wind, rain, thunder and lightning or Shui De Xingjun may also be a little worse, and you must always ask the 90-level boss to work together to have a 100% certainty.
Liu Daoqing's ability is better than that of co-workers?
Truth be told, if he can get to level 110, he might be able to try to compete with the co-workers - but he's only level 43 now.
So when he saw the panda, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
After laughing, the only thing left was to sigh.
Whether it is a landslide or a flood, lack of time and capacity is always a big problem.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if this battle could be fought two years later!"
