Chapter 691: The Battle of the Siege
Emperor Shi Tian had already seen the situation of this undead capital city clearly through the Ice Spirit Cold Light Mirror.
It has to be said that Alexander Sirach is still very level, the city is backed by a large mountain, and at once half of the defense area is missing, and there is perennial snow on the mountain, which can provide water, and he is not afraid of a siege at all.
The hillside below the city, with the exception of the main thoroughfares, is very steep and difficult to walk, which is typical of easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After becoming an undead, Alexander Sirachi remodeled the capital, rebuilt many satellite cities on the periphery, and strengthened the walls of the main city and other defensive structures.
Since the undead are the kind of people who can work without sleep, and the number of undead here is too large, the whole project is carried out very quickly.
Anyway, at this time, the capital of the undead has almost become impregnable, in addition to the huge main city on the mountain, there are fortified castles on both sides and below, at least hundreds of them.
As for the sporadic defenses, such as low walls or small fortresses, the list goes on.
Emperor Shi Tian was only secretly glad at this time, thanks to the short time that Alexander Siraqi had been an undead, there was no way to build the nest too strongly.
If you really give him a few hundred years, let all the city walls and fortress buildings be enchanted with magic to resist spells, plus a lot of undead exclusive attack magic towers, and a super large forbidden air magic circle, then this place is really impregnable and difficult to break.
But now, although the construction is not bad, it is only ordinary materials after all, and no matter how elaborate the design is, it cannot withstand the attack of heavy artillery or spells.
After Emperor Shi Tian led the army here, he walked for most of the day, although there was still a little strength left, but the soldiers were a little tired.
As a result, Emperor Shi Tian ordered most of the army to set up camp, but there were two other troops of 100,000 people, but they were sent out by Emperor Shi Tian, one left and one right, along the mountain to the left and right sides of the capital.
After walking about fifty or sixty kilometers, they each found a more dangerous place and settled down.
And they are not ordinary garrisons, but real castles.
With the help of thousands of earth monks, the place where 100,000 troops were stationed was surrounded by four tall walls.
With this twenty or thirty-meter-high wall, coupled with a powerful army of 100,000, they were enough to withstand an army of millions, or even tens of millions, of the undead.
When Alexander Siraqi saw Emperor Shakti's action, his mood suddenly fell.
It turned out that as a shrewd commander, Alexander Siraci had long known that it was impossible to hold on.
So two very powerful armies of the undead were dispatched in advance and hid in the wild.
Although the number of these two armies is only about one million, there are a large number of skeleton cavalry among them, which are not very strong in defending the city, but they are sharp weapons in field warfare.
If Emperor Shi Tian attacked the main city with all his might, he was surprised from both sides, maybe it would really cause huge trouble to Emperor Shi Tian.
Moreover, in order to prevent these two armies from being detected by the Ice Chill Mirror, Alexander Siraci also chose two hiding places for them.
An army entered the cave, which is a huge cave in the territory, and it may be that there will be a lack of oxygen in the pretending to be alive, causing a large number of troops to be suffocated, but the necromancers don't care about this, and the space inside is enough to hold a million undead.
Another army was photographed by Alexander Siratchi into a huge lake, which was thousands of miles in circumference and hundreds of meters deep at its deepest point.
Alexander Sirathi took a chance and sank the army of millions of undead to the bottom of the lake, and the necrons would not drown anyway.
As long as Emperor Shi Tian investigates a little carefully, he will miss these two armies.
But obviously, Emperor Shi Tian is also an old man, and when attacking the city, he naturally has to guard against the troops that others put outside, so he naturally carefully inspects them, and then finds out these two armies.
But I have to say that Alexander Silaki is really disgusting, using the talent of the undead to perfection.
In the cave, with nine bends and eighteen bends, Emperor Shi Tian would let himself be good at long-range troops unless he was crazy, and he would walk into such a small space and fight with others in close combat.
As for the guys hiding in the lake, Emperor Shi Tian is also right, such a deep lake, the guns can't beat it, and it's impossible to let the troops go into the water to fight them.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian knew that there were two hidden troops on the opposite side, and he also knew the location of those two troops, but he had no way to kill them, so he could only choose to defend.
Fortunately, after being prepared, these two troops are also equivalent to being abandoned, and it is impossible to break through the defense line of the 100,000 army, and if they are in the field, they may not lose to them.
As for Emperor Shitian's main camp, it was much more casual, just let the armies divide the territory in order, and then set up tents and dig some big pits for toilets, and it was over.
And those trenches, fences, and defensive measures that should have been there, Emperor Shi didn't get them at all, and he didn't care about Alexander Siraqi's raid at all.
It can be said that Emperor Shi Tian is simply using this method to mock Alexander Silaki's incompetence, we just don't set up any defense, and you don't dare to fight!
Such a blatant ridicule, Alexander Siraqi is naturally clear, but as Emperor Shi Tian expected, he really didn't have the courage to come out and fight.
Although Emperor Shitian's camp seems to be empty in defense, it can't stand the ferocity of others' firepower!
The three main arms, two of which are artillery, the only gunner, and the caliber of the gun is also 30 mm, isn't this a small steel cannon?
If you really want to fight, this is simply the rhythm of shells washing the ground. No matter how many and elite the undead attacked by Alexander Sirathi, in the face of such ferocious firepower, they could only hate the spot.
What's more, Emperor Shi Tian also has the ability to summon 100,000 silver warriors anytime and anywhere, and he can beat Alexander Siraqi last time.
He had already suffered a loss, where did he still have the courage to sneak attack? So he could only watch Emperor Shitian's troops and enjoy his life outside.
And at this time, Alexander Siraqi was once again shocked by the tyrant attribute of Emperor Shitian!
I saw that the troops under the command of Emperor Shi Tian, except for the people on patrol, were all sitting together in groups of three or five, and then they cooperated in a very tacit division of labor.
Some people pulled out a square object, about the size of a palm, and in the middle of it, lit a fire with a strange thing, and immediately burst into flames, giving rise to a pale blue flame.
This is fuel specially prepared for field armies, and a small piece can be burned for two hours and can cook two meals.
Then someone took out a small bucket and began to clean everyone's helmets.
The small buckets are usually their drinking water, two buckets per person, and they are loaded on a steel wolf in charge of logistics, and now that the water source is cut off, there can only be two buckets of water a day.
But each bucket of water weighs ten kilograms, which is almost enough to eat and drink.
While the guy was carefully cleaning his helmet, the others pulled out cans or flatbread or something.
When the tin can is opened, the inside faintly exudes the fragrance of cooked meat.
There are also sturdy wheat cakes, small in size and large in mass, easy to carry, in fact, the taste is also good, but it tastes particularly hard, and can even be used as a stone at a critical moment.
Obviously, if you eat it like that, it has absolutely nothing to do with deliciousness.
But they first cut it into slices with a knife and put it in a cleaned helmet, plus some canned meat and the water they carried with them.
Then the helmet was hoisted next to the flame and the heat began.
Everyone is obviously used to this method of eating, so the movements are fast and efficient.
After only a few minutes, several helmets were gathered around and began to heat up, filled with sticky food and water.
It has to be said that this method of eating is also particularly scientific, especially in the distribution of food amounts.
Whether it's an orc, a minotaur, or a cave man, the amount of food is different, and if you distribute it carefully to everyone, you don't know how long it will take.
It's better to let them make their own and use their own helmets as rice bowls, and the heads with a large amount of food will be big, and the helmet will be big, and the heads with a small amount of food will be small, and the food as big as the head will be exactly equal to the amount of food a person can eat. This ensures that they are all well fed at once.
The most important thing is that the food made by this method is delicious and easy to digest, which is basically equivalent to a pot of viscous hot soup, which needs to have meat, vegetarian elements, and is very soft and easy to digest.
Anyway, it didn't take long for the huge barracks to start to sound the sound of snoring eating, and the whole barracks was full of the smell of canned meat, which made people feel comfortable smelling it.
Alexander Siracina, who was also a veteran of marching and fighting, immediately realized how terrifying the wealth of Emperor Shakti was.
You must know that even when Alexander Sirach's economy was at its best, the ordinary soldiers under his command could not eat meat at all, or even have enough to eat, and it would be good to be able to barely guarantee that he would not starve to death.
Emperor Shi is good, not only to ensure that everyone has meat to eat, but also hot rice to eat, you know, this is in the case of a field war, and there is no fuel around.
How much does it cost to even have fuel and meat available at all times?
Looking at the things they wear and the weapons they use, Alexander Silaki calculated, they are basically equivalent to the treasures that can only be equipped by the silver powerhouses on his side, but they are common to the whole army, and they are rich.
As a military expert, Alexander Sirach also knows that fighting a war is about logistics, so after seeing this situation, he feels that his war seems to be hanging more and more.
