Chapter 872 Kill the horse to fill the pit
"Long live."
"Long live."
"Long live."
The strange calm was soon broken by the tsunami cheers of the defenders on the city.
Facing the most powerful combat troops in the Adelaide Prairie, the heavy cavalry of the grassland that had almost brought the disaster of genocide to the Abel tribe. No one thought that victory would come so easily and so simple.
On the other hand, the tough soldiers of the Lu Gao Legion all had dull eyes and looked as if dead. The most elite heavy cavalry division was almost buried by these crisscrossing trenches. If the two armies were close to each other, even if the heavy cavalry was beaten and lost, they could still bear it a little. But now they didn't even touch the enemy's side. Their cavalry spears had not had time to get half of the enemy's blood. Most of the cavalry were inexplicably buried. This method of defeat was indeed beyond their psychological endurance.
At present, the two armies are still far away. Although the catapults and goblin artillery have a range bonus at a high level, they still cannot reach Lu Gao's army. Therefore, Ye Feng did not order an attack and was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
After a moment, the array of heavy cavalry remaining troops that stopped slowly separated. A giant lion with a black face as black jade and a ferocious and terrifying face slowly walked to the front of the formation.
The body of this lion is similar to Ye Feng's Ugo War Tiger. Its domineering spirit is not inferior. It has the style of a king of beasts. On its back, a knight in gray-black armor was sitting steadily. The face was pulled down. It could not see clearly. There was only a pair of eyes that were faintly ignited with rage as if it were the essence of the essence. It was Lu Gao, the commander of the Lu Gao Legion, an epic powerhouse at level 130.
Lu Gao silently glanced at the crisscrossing gullies in front of him. For a moment, he raised the knight spear that was also as black as black jade but with a faint red light pointed at Ye Feng floating in the air.
"Shameless."
His voice was very light and cold, but it spread across the battlefield clearly and spread to the city.
It's just shameless. It's too much. This should be called tactics and strange strategies.
The castle defenders suddenly booed. Even Luo Donghua and Haoqing Tianzong laughed: "This guy is probably crazy."
Ye Fengli ignored Lu Gao. His eyes looked down at the battlefield with a quiet and cold look. He was waiting for Lu Gao's deployment.
These deep and wide trenches undoubtedly completely destroyed the cavalry. Although the cavalry is powerful, it is limited to flat terrain battlefields. Now facing a battlefield that is dug like a huge fish net, it is necessary to let the cavalry exert its power. You can only fill these ravines first. There is no other way.
Otherwise, it would be to transfer the position and launch an attack from the other three city gates. However, the area in front of the Xicheng Gate was hollowed out. How could there be no other three city gates?
In fact, there is really no time. The time is rushed. The difficulty of digging from the underground is high. The project is also quite large. In just a few days, Ye Feng did not have so much time to dig all the area that was nearly forty miles around the Golden Castle.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, since a big hole has been dug, how could there be no big holes in the other three places? For example, Lu Gao.
If it were those dark legion beasts or undead monsters with low IQ, they would have seen that the attack route was dug into a trap. Their simple minds would have never thought about changing their positions immediately. But Lu Gao is a high-level NPC. It is no exaggeration to say that it is even more developed than most players' brains. It can be seen that sometimes being too smart may not be a good thing. For example, if Zhuge Wuhou's opponent was not Sima Yi, then his empty city plan might not have been so successful.
Sure enough, Lu Gao despised Ye Feng's shameless fighting style without chivalry spirit. After a little thought, the knight spear was raised high and slanted.
"Build a pontoon bridge."
On one side of the formation, the engineers rushed forward from the baggage troops, carrying the siege ladder and the giant wooden bridge dedicated to cavalry crossing the ditches and rivers.
Soon, a series of ladder boards with a length of more than 30 yards were laid flat on the trench. They were compactly connected to form a super wooden bridge nearly 300 yards wide.
But the two armies were still far apart. Ye Feng watched coldly as these grassland soldiers paved the wooden bridge towards the castle faster and faster.
Nearly a hundred large or small catapults carried by the Lu Gao Legion began to gradually advance forward. Large siege cars advanced at a slow speed under the pull of the carriage. The posture was to suppress the long-range firepower at the top of the city and cover the infantry and cavalry siege.
Haoqing Tianzong and others were inevitably a little curious. Could it be that these heavy wooden boards can carry siege cars that are huge? If this is the case, then this temporary wooden bridge cannot be destroyed by a catapult.
The remaining less than 5,000 cavalrymen also began to gather in a group under Lu Gao's scolding and lined up a scattered line as wide as the wooden bridge.
As the wooden bridge spread closer and closer, Ye Feng stood on the back of the golden-winged roc, silently calculating the distance in his heart.
One thousand digits...900 digits...800 digits...
"Hey. I said the boss has reached the range and still has to wait." The poisonous snake who personally operated the ballistic trencher sent a secret message.
"Start the volley with six hundred yards. Be careful not to smash those siege cars. And I don't know how many harps Lu Gao brought. Let the master hunters in the club stare at it. If I can't intercept them all later, I'll faint from the first shock arrow. Never let them fly to the top of the city." Ye Feng replied.
"clear."
...
About twenty minutes later, the wooden bridge almost flattened the trench area that was nearly two thousand yards long. It seemed that it could be paved to the edge of the trench in just a few dozen yards. At this time, even the ordinary trench with the shortest range could throw the black iron-burned iron balls over with the advantage of shooting from a condescending height.
"Let's start." Ye Feng slowly pulled out Kaitian, which seemed to be deliberately and naturally carried on his back.
"shooting."
The trencher that had already been calibrated to lock the target, the goblin cannon fired at the same time. Nearly a hundred iron balls, the shells roared through the air. Beautiful half-arcs were blew out in the desolate and dark sky, and fell on the thick wooden bridge connected together.
Occasionally, shells that were shot missed fell into the trenches on both sides of the wooden bridge, blowing up the dead cavalry and horse corpses at the bottom of the ditch. The gravel, sand and soil brought out by the air waves were wrapped in blood, flesh and bones, splashing out from the bottom of the ditch.
In a blink of an eye, the front edge of the wooden bridge was filled with yellow sand and rolling thick smoke and dust. The engineers responsible for laying the wooden bridge were constantly blown out. The bursting blood seemed to coat the rolling black and yellow mist with a layer of red blood dizzy.
Even the only six thunderbolt trenchers were deployed. In addition to the bombing of more than 20 goblin artillery, especially the first round of fire was all burst bombs with anti-armor breaking effect. The power was unquestionable. But the wooden bridge that looked flat but not very solid suffered such a dense and powerful blow. There were only a few shallow cracks. Even the large iron balls that were shot by the trencher with excellent breaking effect could not be smashed through these wooden boards that were only two feet thick.
There is no doubt that the ladders carried by the Lugao Legion and the simple wooden bridge specially designed for cavalry to cross the ditch and river all bless the extremely expensive magic...the defensive and strengthening magic array.
But even if the defense strengthening supported by this wooden bridge is twice as strong, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of catapults and goblin artillery. It is only a matter of time before the bridge is destroyed and people are killed.
Now, the unfilled trenches that are less than 200 yards long between the wooden bridge and the city have become an insurmountable natural barrier. The grassland soldiers on the wooden bridge can only sigh at the city without holding their heads and being bombed.
Ye Feng could not see Lu Gao's expression blocked by the smoke and sand. The deafening explosion and the sound of hitting also obscured Lu Gao's angry scream.
