The Origin of Arcane

What the Yongye Army leader can do now is to further downplay the role of the Crocodile in the defense of the Brothers Harbor, and then negotiate with Nitya, Webber, Bishop and other relatively rational elders to urge them to increase their resistance to the Crocodile Army. Take control.

　　 Some important military meetings, instead of excluding them, actively invite them to participate, so that they have a clearer understanding of the whole situation. The frequency of the previous irrational behavior will be much reduced.

　　The problem exposed by the Kingsley family is also obvious, that is, the serious lack of long-range attacks.

　　 The long-range attacks on both sides are not at the same level at all.

　　 The range of the Andis longbow is amazing. It is now condescending and has various bonuses. The arrows flying out of the ten-meter-high arrow tower can easily shoot 500 meters away.

　　The archers of the Kingsley family have no way to press on and provide long-range suppression and support. The entire siege troops are directly exposed to the rain of arrows. They really do what they want.

　　 Akmeser is a veteran, it is impossible not to know the consequences of suppressing a long-range attack.

　　 is definitely not only a casualty issue, but also a blow to our own morale.

In the face of the overwhelming arrow rain, many heavy armored infantry, even wearing heavy armor, knowing that they can't do much harm to themselves, still fight in two battles, it is difficult to raise the courage to charge, let alone those with thin armor. Cannon fodder.

　　 includes those mercenaries who sacrifice their lives for money.

　　They are not fools. They can give up their lives for the bounty, but when there is hope to get the bounty, the fools will rush forward if it is the same as the previous death.

　　 Compared with the cannon fodder of the crocodile tribe, the mercenaries faced a more fierce arrow rain coverage, and the reason why they only lost less than three thousand dollars is because they saw the momentum was wrong and all hid behind and paddled.

　　 To them, the Kingsley family cannot drive them like the cannon fodder of the crocodile tribe. Until there is no corresponding solution, don't think they can continue to charge bravely and fearlessly.

　　 This is the biggest flaw in using mercenaries.

　　 It's not that the Kingsley family didn't build siege equipment, but the surrounding trees were completely destroyed by the leader of the Eternal Night Army. Not to mention the tall trees, even the shrubs were eradicated by their roots.

　　 The nearest forest felling is also dozens of kilometers away.

　　And the trees produced by Desperate Swamp are usually relatively low and loose wood. Most of the trees that can be built are small siege equipment, large siege equipment, pick and choose, and there have not been a few built until now.

　　 Akmeser is now covered in his hands like a baby, and he is reluctant to use it on these cannon fodder.

　　 "Pile up dirt and siege the city!" There were also smart people in the Kingsley family's conquest. In response to this situation, a new method was proposed.

　　 "It can only be so." Akmesser nodded and agreed to this plan.

　　 Mound the earth and siege the city.

　　, as the name suggests, is to pile up soil into a mound, and pile it under the city wall. After passing the city wall, the siege soldiers rushed along the **** of the mound to the wall.

　　 Naturally, the advantages and disadvantages needless to say.

　　 Once it succeeds, if a gap is opened in the wall and a large number of soldiers are influxed, what is left is a short-handed approach to the city. Once the defender cannot hold it, it will be the time when the city is broken.

　　 The disadvantage is that this is an out-and-out stupid method, which requires time, manpower, and material resources, not a little bit.

　　 Especially in the face of a castle with natural dangers or a small-scale siege, this trick is not used at all.

　　The Kingsley family has no better way to think of it now.

　　 The feasibility of this stupid method is higher.

　　 After all, the natural danger that Brother Port relies on is water.

　　 Although there is no saying that the five elements are mutually restrained, there is an argument that the elements are mutually restrained.

　　 Regardless of the five elements or the elements, the earth does not compromise the water.

　　 What's more, the Kingsley family now has a large number of idle manpower, and indeed has the innate conditions to implement this method.

　　 I don't know if it is the reason for the paralysis of the leader of the Eternal Night, or is preparing to do a multi-pronged approach, waiting for the cold winter to come, the Kingsley family began to mound the city.

　　 During this period, the Kingsley family continued to drive out the cannon fodder one after another and organized several exploratory attacks.

　　 But the purpose of these tentative offensives is not to try to fill the moat of Brother Port anymore, but to test the longest range of the Andis Longbow.

　　 Then set up temporary defensive tools to prepare for the mound and siege.

　　 Even if you are going to use stupid methods, you have to start from the weakest and closest point. In this case, you can save one point if you save one point.

　　 There were not one, but as many as eight points, which Akmeser prepared for the siege of the city.

　　 There are tens of thousands of people at each spot, and 25 hours of non-stop accumulation of negative soil, mounds of more than ten meters long, began to spread little by little toward the brother city.

　　The Longbow of Andes, who has made outstanding achievements in the Yongye Army, is a little helpless this time.

　　 After the mound is formed, there is a large area of ​​natural dead angle for the bow and arrow, no matter whether it is shot flat or thrown, it can do nothing.

　　 Again, the Kingsley family has made enough preparations for defense arrows this time. They used logs to build fortifications. Push the mound forward a little, and then the fortifications will push forward a little to provide shelter for those who piled up the earth.

　　The trees produced in the swamp have poor hardness, but the quantity can make up for the quality defects.

　　 No matter how powerful the Andis longbow is, it cannot change the fact that it is a bow and arrow. After all, its power is limited, and it is impossible to have the penetrating ability like a siege crossbow.

　　 Besides, facing a log wall tens of centimeters thick, even a siege crossbow can't do anything.

　　 Although the Kingsley family doesn't care about the life and death of these cannon fodder, it can reduce their death possibility, and it is still as small as possible. After all, the amount of cannon fodder is also limited.

　　 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

　　 The leader of the Eternal Night is not incapable of fighting the Kingsley family's dirt and siege.

　　 Brother Port not only has a large number of Andean longbowmen, but also a large number of defense equipment.

　　 Under the influence of Sean, the Yongye Army leader paid great attention to the research of siege equipment from the very beginning, especially the affiliated engineering corps that took the tower defense tactics to the extreme.

　　 The geographical location of Brother Port is so important, this tactic is naturally brought to the extreme.

　　 The hundreds of tower trebuchets are the best proof.

　　 The true official name of the Tower Catapult is the High Roller Catapult.

　　 By hearing the name, the Yongye Army leader already has a relatively clear classification of catapults.

However, in order to remember, Yongye Army Leader did not give them too cumbersome names. They were named after easy-to-understand small, medium, and large trebuchets. Only the unconventional super giants such as the roller coaster have their own. name.

　　 The number of trebuchets placed on the walls of the Brothers City and inside the city walls are so many that it makes the scalp numb.

　　 The reason why it was not used before was because the longbowman alone was enough, and it was not worth wasting extra firepower.

　　 Andys longbows are powerless, so it is their turn to show off.

　　 After a calibrated test firing, rocks ranging from ten kilograms to dozens of kilograms, with sharp whistling, slammed on the Kingsley family fortifications.

　　 The earth and rocks are cracking, and the broken wood is flying.

　　 Once accidentally collapsed by it, it may die along with it.

　　 The catapult led by the Yongye Army is terribly accurate. Once calibrated, 12 of them can hit the same target with a diameter of more than three meters.

　　The problem is not the catapult, but the catapult.

　　 These slings are not randomly picked stones, but fired in a furnace. The shapes and weights have corresponding standards, and they are almost the same.

After 　　 was cast, the instability factors were reduced a lot, and the accuracy rate was naturally greatly improved.

　　 The density of bombing is equally terrifying.

　　 Under the constant bombardment, no matter how strong the defensive facilities are, there will be times when they are broken.

What's more, the defensive shield wall that the Kingsley family made in the beginning was very general. The strongest one made for the first time was not able to last for two hours. This is the time to correct the catapult that Yongyejun led in the beginning. Included.

　　 After repairing and manufacturing, although it keeps thickening, it is difficult to carry it for four hours.

　　 Living people will not be suffocated by urine.

　　 Soon the Kingsley family adjusted their strategy.

　　 no longer placed the fortifications in the open, but placed inside the advancing soil wall.

in other words.

　　 The Kingsley family used various support columns to construct a tunnel, and then kept burying soil outside the tunnel, and pushed forward little by little in the direction of Brother Port.

　　 Although this is a little troublesome, it will greatly limit the accumulation speed of the soil wall, but it is safer. The thick soil layer outside is the best protective layer.

　　 Even the forty or fifty kilograms of stone bombs thrown by the large catapults have limited impact on them.

　　 The only thing that can pose a threat to it is the slingshot.

This kind of super giant catapult that requires half a hundred guards to operate at the same time for each loading. Both the throwing distance and the lethality are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Let alone the roar of the winch rotating. Loud noise makes the scalp numb.

The shortcomings of the 　　 sling is also obvious. It is very troublesome to load bombs. Not only does it require specially trained professionals to operate it, the ability to launch one in seven or eight minutes is already the limit.

　　 So, of course, they cannot test fire angles like other catapults and catapults.

　　 This question Yong Ye Junling had already thought of in advance.

　　 Each of the high-speed catapults has several attached catapults in different directions.

　　 These accessory catapults not only look like a scaled down version of them, but many attack routes are in a straight line, even if they are not in a straight line, they are located through special mathematical calculations and can overlap.

　　 When the slings turned their attack directions, they had already completed the corresponding calibration test firing work.

　　 Of course it is in data theory.

However, these data theories are also carefully calculated by the leader of Yongye. I dare not say that it is 100% accurate. Even if there is an error, it will not be too large. Coupled with the instability of the catapult itself, this error can sometimes be wrong. Hit the target directly by hitting a mistake.

　　 Everything is possible.

　　 Sometimes things are just this inch.

　　 When more than one hundred kilograms of boulders fall from the sky, let alone the shock.

　　Even on solid ground, a big hole can be blasted out.

　　, let alone buried under a mound of soil, it is a tunnel full of weight and pressure.

　　 Once hit directly above, the tunnel collapse is inevitable. One can imagine the tragedy, not just the problem of being buried alive, if it is unlucky, it may even be shaken to death.

　　 Now every time I hear the whistling of the sling from the sky, the Kingsley family soldiers tremble in their legs, afraid to drill into the narrow tunnel, lest they can't get out once they get in.

　　 This situation has changed a lot after the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingsley family.

　　 There are more than half of mine slaves who have just been pulled out of the mine. They are professionals who dig soil and drill holes. They are mostly numb to life and death.

　　 Even in the past life of Sean who has the concept of safe production, mining, especially deep underground mining, and regular mines with corresponding safety measures, have a very high risk factor.

　　 Not to mention those black mines with inadequate security measures. Every year, I don’t know how many people are buried in the dark underground forever.

　　 The black mines in Shaun’s previous life, even if the safety measures are poor, some basic investment is still there.

　　 The conditions for digging the Kingsley family mines are not even comparable to the black mines of Sean’s previous life.

　　 is not only the low production safety awareness and the reluctant input cost, but the most important thing is that the corresponding technology cannot reach it.

　　 Apart from anything else, just say that the mine has been dug deep, and the steady flow of groundwater is a big problem that is difficult to solve, and it is also one of the main culprits of mine collapse.

　　 Said unceremoniously, the gold coins of the Kingsley family were all stained with blood, the blood of the miners.

　　 Struggling on the death line for a long time, slowly and naturally became numb.

　　 After passing through the mound tunnel in their hands, it became much stronger, even if it was hit by a roller coaster on the front, it could resist twice more.

　　 It's not that they have the ability to turn decay into magic, but that they know how to make tunnels stronger, just make them narrower and have more parallel tunnels.

　　 Then there are the Yunxiao catapults that can directly attack the walls of Brothers Port. After all, there are a few, even if they can turn around, the Yongye Commander will not do it.

　　 After all, they exist for the deployment of the Donau River.

　　The Commons family fleet is still staring at the Danube.

If the Yongye Army commander turns all the Yunxiao catapults, it will be what they want. Even if they don’t launch a sneak attack on Brother Port, once they pass through, they will block Yongye Army’s military supplies from upstream. Wan Shoujun, then all will become rootless duckweed.

　　 At that time, there was not only the danger of breaking the city, but also the danger of the entire army being wiped out. Naturally, the leader of Yongye would not do such a stupid thing.

　　 In the battle of wits and courage between the Yongye army leader and the Kingsley family, time passed slowly and irreversibly.

　　 Not only is the weather getting colder and colder, the chances of river ice freezing are getting bigger and bigger.

　　 One of the most important tricks in the moat has been abolished. The swamp war crocodile has become less and less active and has rarely stayed in the water. Most of the time, it lays on the shore to bask in the sun and absorb heat.

　　 Although the swamp war crocodile has evolved somewhat differently from its own kind, the nature of temperature-changing animals will not change. Being afraid of cold is their common problem.

　　 In order to prevent them from losing in vain, the Yongye army leader can only gather them back.

　　 Without the protection of the river, they cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Kingsley family's siege equipment.

　　 After three or four months of preparation, the Kingsley family’s siege equipment has also been gradually prepared.

　　 Compared with the Yongye army leader, their siege equipment is between small and medium-sized. These gadgets eat wood, especially solid wood.

　　 Compared with the leader of the Eternal Night who sits in the Eight Hundred Mile Andes Mountains, the Kingsley family is incomparable in this respect.

　　With these siege equipment, Akmeser naturally didn't dare to push it easily towards Brother Port.

　　 Once they show up, they will inevitably be targeted by the Yongye army leader, but with their range, there is no way to touch the walls of Brother Port.

　　The Kingsley family can only use another trick.

　　 The most helpless, clumsy, and very useful trick.

　　 mounds of soil.

　　 These siege machines were installed on the mounds, and the height was used to make up for the lack of range.

　　 In order to make up for the gap in technology and raw materials, none of the mounds piled up by the Kingsley family outside Brothers Port are less than 20 meters below.

　　 It is conceivable how large the engineering volume is.

　　 In the later period, the Kingsley family's earth-pile siege plan was no longer ready to be directly pushed under the Brothers Port wall, but instead concentrated on the mounds needed for these siege equipment.

　　Because the workload of the previous kind of soil and siege was too large, even if they now have more than 200,000 manpower, they want to push it under the wall of the brothers port according to the current progress. It will take a year without saying.

　　 Another concept of a large number of people is that the logistics supply pressure is heavy, especially the current supply line of the Kingsley family is so long.

　　 Even the rich and powerful of the Kingsley family can't afford it.

　　The wealth of the Kingsley family is not brought by the wind, but accumulated bit by bit.

　　 What's more, this kind of richness still has water.

　　 When they leave this impression on people ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it must be because they spend money like water, and their style of doing things usually has the style of spending big money.

　　 To some extent, this has become their golden sign. With this golden sign, the Kingsley family will get a lot of convenience.

　　 But it costs money to maintain this golden sign.

　　 And the Lancelot royal family has always stuck their necks through the grain, and they must first be exploited by them.

　　 In the past ten years, the Carter leader has not been quiet.

　　 Apart from anything else, the rise of the slave rebels led by the Manyu Army and the Yongye Army had already caused an indirect impact on them in the early stage, causing their mining slaves to fall into a state of tension.

　　 Insufficient mining slaves naturally means that the output decreases and the amount of money entering the pocket naturally decreases.

　　 After the remnants of the slave rebel army rushed into the Carter army, it was even more scourge. Although it did not provoke a full-scale turmoil, there are not a few things that lured the mine slaves to defect, but they were suppressed by the Kingsley family.

　　 The remnants of the encirclement and suppression slave rebels also need to spend money?

　　 To put it bluntly, the war is fought for supplies and money.

　　 You will feel nothing for a while, but if you bleed for a long time, that's terrible.

　　 Not to mention that the Kingsley family had no chance to cultivate and nourish, and they launched a full-scale invasion of the Swamp of Despair.

　　 In the past two years, money has been spent like water, and the list is even more terrifying.
