0106 Advance of the city walls
The border of the Principality of Blood Sheath, the small town of Jiaming.
Early in the morning, the captain of the town's security team walked out of the duty barracks with his waist stretched.
As the closest town to Gia Yuan Province, the security team here is very busy.
Except for the invasion of bandits and bandits, there is basically nothing that can threaten the stability of the town.
The security captain carried a wooden bucket and went to the well to fetch water to wash.
Feeling a little gloomy today, I opened my hazy sleepy eyes and looked into the sky.
"Hmm... Why is the city wall of Jiayuan Province so close...."
The security captain looked up at the towering city wall not far from the town, looking confused.
After confirming that he was not dreaming, he exclaimed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
However, when he turned around, on the other side of the town, he noticed another towering wall.
As for the width of the walls, at least as far as his eyes could see, there was no end in sight.
Soon, the residents of Jiaming Town ran out in a panic.
In one night, the whole town was separated by two walls, which was difficult for anyone to accept.
An elderly construction worker in the town relied on a rope ladder to allow a slick thief to climb up.
The [thieves], who had exhausted their strength, climbed to the top of the city wall, and after just one glance, they were stunned on the spot.
On the vast plain land, there are one after another tall walls with no end in sight, and the distance between each wall is about 3 kilometers.
There is a deep groove behind the city wall, and many square stones of the same material as the city wall are scattered around.
At the forefront that the [thieves] couldn't see, Li Li led the Huangsha construction workers to rush to work.
It's just that from time to time, yellow sand construction workers turn into flying sand and dissipate.
This is also something that Li Li has only recently discovered, although the [Wasteland Soul Token] is easy to use, but the summon also has an upper limit of durability.
Reaching this limit will instantly turn into a pile of yellow sand, just like lifting the summon.
After the construction lasted for two days, the city walls continued to advance, and soon the front of the Autumn Blood Castle was built.
The [Blood Sheath Sword Saint] in the city, Xueru, had already completed the assembly of troops and was ready to set off for the border to attack the invincible city.
I didn't expect that I didn't attack, but the city wall came by itself first.
"What's going on? Didn't you hear anything from you? ”
The blood in the lord's palace was immediately furious.
"I found it before, but... But apart from the fact that the walls were approaching every day, there was no sign at all. ”
The Captain of the Blood Sheath said innocently.
After all, who would have thought that the city walls would move on their own.
"Rice bucket! It's not about getting close at all, it's about building many walls every day, and moving forward! ”
Blood as rebuked.
"Blood Ru, calm down, it's impossible to build at such a fast speed, I guess it's the effect of illusion or earth-based spells."
The Lord of Autumn Blood City, Blood Ming, gave his opinion.
"I hope so, but I have to attack now, otherwise even if it is an illusion, it will be inflicted on the face by the people of Jiayuan Province, and it will insult the majesty of the Bloodsheath Principality."
Blood is going to fight as he speaks.
"Wait a minute, what is the origin of this invincible city lord Li Li, and why did he dare to attack first?"
Blood Ming was a little incomprehensible.
"I only know that he is not in his right mind, and nothing else is known."
Blood as informed.
"It's better to take 500 heavily armored guards out of the city to respond, if there are any variables, let's shoot together."
The two quickly agreed.
On Li Li's side, at the same time, he controlled 10,000 Huangsha builders to build, even if it was just to build a simple city wall, it was a very brain-consuming thing.
So in the past two days, I basically went to bed early and got up early, with nuts as the staple food.
With about 700 blood sheath cavalry attacking, Li Li just glanced at the class and knew that the other party didn't do much.
In addition, it was close to evening, so he simply retreated back to sleep.
Blood Ru came to the first city wall, and a blood cross slashed through the wall.
I thought I could pass directly, but I didn't expect that there were stone blocks inside, and I smashed seven layers in a row before I succeeded in breaking through.
However, more than 700 cavalrymen, who wanted to pass smoothly, of course, lined up one after another to enter.
So he called for cavalrymen armed with heavy hammers and came to the front to break down the walls.
At this time, Xueru secretly felt bad in his heart, because when he used the attack just now, he could clearly feel that this block of rock was neither magic nor illusion.
It's a solid hard stone.
Now, on the contrary, she hopes that the city wall will move.
However, this expectation was quickly shattered after passing through the first wall, which was less than 1,000 meters away.
The troops marched quickly, and another burst of walls were breached, and a third of the same walls appeared a kilometer away.
The fourth, fifth...
When the ninth wall was broken, the area ahead was finally spacious, and the city wall was built three thousand meters away, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
However, before the cavalry could rush too far, the ground began to collapse downward, although it shattered into countless squares.
More than 100 blood-sheathed cavalry fell directly into the deep pit, and half a minute passed, and there was no sound of impact hitting the bottom.
All the blood-sheathed cavalry felt like falling into an ice cave in their hearts.
Combat experienced blood such as know that this is a fall trap.
"Everyone retreats one after another."
After saying that, Xueru fell directly to the ground, and then threw a torch towards the underside of the ground that did not collapse.
This is an effective detection method for fall traps.
It is possible to measure the extent to which the trap has been hollowed out in the ground.
However, except for a few straight stone pillars illuminated by the torches, the entire ground was empty.
Bloody couldn't believe his eyes, and then threw torches in all directions.
As a result, nothing was found except for the empty underground space.
The whole underground, hollowed out?
Blood is like a conclusion that you don't want to believe.
Not only did it mean that the trap was extremely difficult to break, but it was also completely more difficult to build.
Before, Xueru was still curious, and under the inertia of constantly breaking the city wall, it was indeed difficult to set a fall trap behind a certain city wall.
Therefore, in the choice of opening position, the blood is constantly changing, and there is no regularity at all.
I attributed this move to bad luck.
But what he didn't expect was that the ground behind the ninth wall had been hollowed out.
No matter where the breakthrough is, as long as the troops are involved on a large scale, they will definitely be recruited.
"Retreat!"
Blood is like issuing an order.
She knew why Li Li didn't attack.
Because it was only the carrying of troops, it was doomed to the failure of this sortie.
Back in Autumn Snow City, Blood Flying Dove passed the word and asked for reinforcements.
These include bridge-building troops, siege assault troops, siege equipment...
In order to prevent the other party from thinking that he was joking, he also printed his own commander seal.
After that, it was to give the local lord Blood Ming a review, after all, it was Autumn Blood City that sent a request for help.
"This... It's not that serious. ”
After reading the letter, Xueming hesitated.
"I can understand that in the face of the attack of Jiayuan Province, I have to move rescue troops, and I really can't get over my face, but this Li Li is by no means as simple as it seems, and he must deal with it carefully."
Blood said solemnly.
Although he doesn't know much about Li Li's ability at present, it is indeed worth taking seriously for the part that has been perceived.
"This is not only a matter of face, His Majesty the King is fighting with the Rhine Alliance on the front line, and I can't even deal with Jiayuan Province in the safest rear, which is really a bit unreasonable."
Xueming felt unacceptable.
"But if it goes on like this, something will definitely go wrong."
"It's okay, even if the city wall is real, he always needs stones, and when the reserves are exhausted, the threat will naturally be reduced."
"If my information is correct, these walls were built with local materials."
"It's... Anyway, don't be in a hurry to call for reinforcements, there are a lot of siege troops in the city, tomorrow I will gather some from nearby villages and towns, plus your troops, let's at least try it first. ”
Xueming still insisted on not sending reinforcements, and wanted to unite with Xueru to solve the matter.
"Okay, but just call reinforcements from the villages and towns, because the city walls have cut off the surrounding area of Autumn Snow City."
Hearing Xueru's reminder, Xueming didn't dare to delay, and was busy assembling troops late at night.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Nearly 2,000 troops in Autumn Snow City have been assembled.
At this time, the scout reported that the city wall had not been completed yesterday evening, and had been secretly built.
However, there is no further movement to move forward.
The blood was like two people, and they were all secretly relieved when they heard the news.
Because if the city wall really continues to be built and succeeds, then even if it is faced in Autumn Blood City, it will have to face the condescending city wall.
This is extremely detrimental to them.
At this time, a fresh breeze blew on the side, and the mood of blood and anxiety was slightly relieved, and it immediately became tense.
"The wind is not in the right direction..."
Blood Ru turned his head suddenly, and found that on the other side of Autumn Blood City, that is, in the direction where the troops were facing backs, a towering city wall was looming in the early morning mist.
"What's going on!"
Seeing his city-state separated between two walls, Bloodsong recognized the seriousness of the problem.
After Xueru forced himself to calm down, he recalled the news he had collected recently, and suddenly thought of the laying of an underground transportation network throughout Jiayuan Province.
"It's underground, Li Li crossed this area from underground."
"That's... Then find out and block it! The siege troops are ready to go! ”
Blood shouted.
"It's useless, you can't even detect the general location of the tunnel, let alone the depth, unless you can find a leyline mage with enough cultivation to come, but the prerequisite for the other party to come is that the road to Autumn Blood City has not been blocked..."
Blood felt extremely tired for a while, even if he had never participated in a head-on battle with the Invincible City.
An hour later, about 100 or so troops, using rope ladders to reach the top of the city wall, began to pursue with blood like blood.
It's not impossible to catch up on the ground, but once they encounter a super-large-scale fall trap, the time it takes to build a bridge to pass is enough for Li Li to build more walls and leave them behind.
Xueming didn't care about anything else, and directly sent a number of highest-level letters asking for help, to various nearby city-states.
In order to concentrate his forces and prevent Li Li from continuing to do nonsense.
By erecting the [Floating Rope Bridge] to pass at the top of the city wall, the travel speed has been greatly improved.
The disadvantage is that the soldiers who can climb up are dressed in light armor and are limited in number.
But at the moment, there must not be too much.
After crossing the four city walls, on the trapezoidal construction ramp, the two of them and the two blood sheath troops finally came into contact with the troops of the Invincible City for the first time.
But the blood went down like two swords, deaf to the ear, and the construction workers who still insisted on working directly turned into yellow sand, and the surrounding construction workers also dissipated one after another.
"I didn't even beat you in Autumn Blood City, as for it?"
An inquiring voice came from the sky, and the second master carrying Li Li slowly descended.
"What the hell are you going to do? Such an act is tantamount to starting a war. ”
Bloody screams asked.
"I feel that Jiayuan Province is not very safe, so I will expand it a little."
Li Li responded.
"Lord Li Li, I despised the Invincible City before, but before carrying out the crazy act, can you think more about the subjects of Jiayuan Province first, I will report to His Majesty the King and ask him to re-examine the relationship with Jiayuan Province, but the premise is that the construction of the city wall must be stopped."
Xueru wanted to use more benefits to stop Li Li's city wall from advancing.
Obviously, it is too difficult to decide that it is too difficult to rely on conventional force to restrain the other side.
"It's strange, when your Blood Sheath Principality expanded, why didn't you think about it for your subjects, could it be that the five provinces and regions were all from the world?"
Li Li didn't buy this argument.
"Okay, so you have to have a goal, right?"
Blood can only change the other direction.
"My goal at this stage is the entire western part of the Bloodsheath Principality, and when the city wall advances to achieve full coverage, the construction will be stopped, and then the city wall will be separated from the area to attack and attack, and gradually encroach and occupy."
Li Li did not shy away from saying his plan.
"You're dreaming!"
The blood song couldn't listen anymore.
"Actually, it's my goal to occupy the whole territory, but..."
Li Li said, snorted, and rubbed his bloodshot eyes.
The construction of the city wall with local materials, except for the [sandy block], is basically zero consumption.
But managing 10,000 yellow sand construction workers is really draining.
I was going to sleep last night, but I suddenly remembered the routine of underground crossing and construction, and I have been able to hold on until now.
If you are in this general state for a long time, I am afraid that the cranial nerves will not burst.
Oh, the weakness almost blurted out, and the consciousness has been lost to such an extent, it's really time to rest.
Li Li, who realized that something was wrong, changed his words and said: "In short, my goal is to occupy the west first, and if you want to surrender, you can come to me at any time." ”
The second master then raised the height.
Xueru thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't make a move.
"Now that the construction has stopped and Li Li has left, have we succeeded?"
Blood Ming thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly.
"Alas... On the face of it, yes, but for these walls that have already been built, do we have a way to dismantle them? ”
The blood looks like a very tired heart.
They did stop Li Li.
But even if the other party leaves and leaves no one to guard it, the two still have nothing to think about about the city wall that has been built.
