Chapter347 The two curtain walls of Shelley Fortress
As the last bleak autumn wind took away the short-lived joy of harvest in Valoran, the temperature quickly dropped under the influence of the northwest monsoon. The cold wind howling from the Freljord Icefield quickly caused the land and rock formations to freeze. , night falls and winter is approaching.
In the northwest of the Dalmo Plain, a lonely military fortress stands among the steep mountains facing the frosty moonlight, as if it was built by gods. The cannon stones flying during the day can only be seen in the blue-grey sky. Spider web-like cracks were created on the battlements of the high wall, but they could not completely defeat the cold and hard wall.
The city wall stretches into a pentagonal shape, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on two sides is a twelve-meter-high boulder steel gate tower. At this moment, it has been completely blocked by frozen boulders poured with mud and water. Coupled with the shaping magic of the legion mage, it must be made of steel. The stone gate, which could only be opened by pushing and pulling the hinges, was now perfectly integrated with the city wall, making it indestructible.
From the inside to the outside, there are Noxian warriors stationed on the three-story curtain wall stamping their feet and rubbing their hands. The simple leather armor and makeshift fur coats on their bodies cannot completely keep out the cold. Fortunately, the Noxians themselves It is adapted to the cold climate of the North, and its combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected in cold nights.
The outermost curtain wall is divided into sections and is already piled with rolling stones. The fortress was originally built in the mountains. There is no shortage of earth, wood and boulders on the mountains, so the soldiers do not lack weapons to defend the city. Plus, the food is enough to last for several months. , this also gave the soldiers enough courage to face the impenetrable siege.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky in the mist, and the beautiful ice crystals blocked the line of sight, greatly shortening the visual distance. Facing the unfavorable weather for defending the city, two legion mages appeared on the northwest and southeast sections of the city wall. Use detect magic every once in a while.
The only five remaining square-top stone arrow towers were brightly lit, and the three trebuchets improvised by craftsmen were enjoying the rare tranquility. The next second, a hammered arrow screamed and leaned against the arrow stack on the city wall. After that, Xiao Xi's five archers quickly stood up and looked at the city wall illuminated by magic light with wide eyes.
A dozen looming white figures began to accelerate closer to the city wall, and the archer team leader issued an order.
"Fire the arrow!"
Next to the trebuchet, the thunderous sound of the bowstring accompanied by the missing arrows whizzed downwards, causing a dozen Frostwolf warriors who tried to attack the city gate at night through the hook lock to leave half of the corpses in the sparse arrows. And return.
The leading Frostwolf warrior is named Wanna, an elite warrior selected by Queen Jelena herself from tens of thousands of soldiers.
As an expert at throwing ziplines, Wanna can move as fast as he can on even a ten-meter-long wall as long as his flying claws can hook onto the edge of the wall. Unfortunately, the Noxians are not soft persimmons. The Noxian general in the city was not an idiot. The damn mage arrived as expected and saw through the secret attack.
Although it was originally a tentative night attack, if it succeeded, the Ice Alchemy Bomb could be placed on the city wall to create an additional breach in the fortress and reduce the morale of the Noxians. If it failed, it would also be a tactic to tire out the enemy, but it would be a loss. Several good players also made Wanna feel a little distressed.
Returning to the military camp, Wanna passed through the many guards, passed by the troll camp that smelled of human flesh, and quickly came to the Chinese army camp at the core. It was the general of the Frost Kingdom, Queen Yelena. The tent of Casper, the fourth husband.
Walking into the brightly lit camp, at this moment, General Casper, who was wearing a Northern Goblin iron chainmail, was discussing the plan to capture Xuelai Fortress with several other generals. The leader of the Frost Mage, Gu, was wearing a gray fur hood.
Lina sat silently at one foot of the table and slowed down her pace. Wanner did not directly report what he observed, but stood quietly aside and listened.
Yeligard, commander of the Third Army of the Frost Kingdom who was responsible for contacting the Heidi Army and commanded five thousand barbarian warriors, was reporting the latest battle status of the friendly forces to Casper, who was ashen as water, with a serious face.
"...More than a dozen teams of Heidi people left their posts without permission and looted several villages near the Anvil of Karyas on their own initiative. As a result, Alice, that stinky bitch, seized the opportunity and quickly annihilated the hundreds of people who looted the village.
After the formation, while the Heidi people did not react, they mobilized their elite to launch a night attack from the breach in the Heidi people's garrison defense line, and burned a Heidi people's granary with fire.
Now that idiot Cho'gall insists on mobilizing half of his soldiers to siege Northenburg and avenge his soldiers. Lord Casper, no matter how much I try to persuade him, it's no use. I'm afraid the Heidi's skulls are frozen. It's better than me.
Little Barty is smart (a northern wild boar, Yeligard’s mount).”
After hearing this, Casper put his wise eyes on the map on the table. On the map that looked like ghostly drawings, Casper found the location of the anvil of Kaleas with difficulty. The general smacked his lips secretly.
He secretly glanced at Queen Jelena, the supervisor and military advisor sent by his wife, a frost mage named Gulina.
This woman is mysterious every day, but as a result, the map is not very good, even better than her own urine.
What's so great about having a cold face and being able to rub a few Ice Cream Magic spells on your face?
With this thought in mind, Casper bent his waist a little, came to the female mage with a low eyebrow, and said softly.
"Lord Gu Lina, I don't know about this matter, what do you think?"
Her body remained unmoved, and a hoarse middle-aged woman's voice came from under the mage's hood.
"Queen Jelena's order is for me to assist the General in completing the conquest of Noxus. As for what to do, I think the wise Lord Casper knows better than a layman like me."
Casper was a little embarrassed. He didn't know if his inner criticism just now was heard by the magical female mage. He was a little anxious for a moment, and the strong beard on his face bent softly under the influence of gravity.
"Well, hey, Lady Gulina, although I already have a countermeasure, I still want to hear your thoughts. Maybe they can coincide with my thoughts and learn from each other's strengths."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gulina is also a little speechless for Casper who is stalking him and wants to make her own suggestions. She would rather face the suppression of the Hall of Nine Lords.
The Void Watcher under the Howling Abyss is not willing to look at this idiot who is strong enough to turn over two cows but has a brain one-third the size of a troll.
It is true that he is an amateur in fighting, but Casper and the 'generals' of the Frost Kingdom are even more amateurs among amateurs. However, the witch trusts Yelena very much, and it is not easy for him to interfere with Queen Yelena's arrangements.
, fortunately, although he is stupid, he is obedient enough and has the ability to execute.
It's not all bad after all.
Sighing secretly, Gu Lina said calmly.
"Following General Casper's will, I will talk to General Cho'gall tomorrow. Annihilating the Noxians in Snow Lai Fortress is the first step for us to go south to seize the Immortal Fortress. We cannot waste it here.
It’s been too long. As for the Emerald Legion stationed in Northenburg, I think we should use another way to contain each other.”
"That's right, that's what I mean. Yeligard, you will assist Master Zuogulina in negotiating with General Gujar tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes."
"clear."
After Yeligard responded, Casper glanced at the other generals who admired him proudly, and then looked at Gulina.
"Then I'll ask Lady Gulina to negotiate tomorrow..."
"Compared with what happens tomorrow, General Casper, I want to know how the tunnel preparations are going?"
Finally talking about his area of expertise, Casper patted his chest confidently, and the iron cage hand patted the chainmail armor with a crisp sound.
"Two of the three tunnels have been completed, and there are still some minor problems in the tunnel leading to the dungeon due to landslides, but they will be solved soon."
After arranging the attack for the next day, Vanner was left alone by Casper.
"Thanks a lot."
"This is what I should do, Lord Casper."
For his most loyal subordinate, Casper finally stopped pretending to be himself, and his eyes were filled with the flames of hatred.
"Whether it is the Heidi people or the Noxians, they must pay a sufficient price. When the Heidi people are ready, we can take action. This time, we must let the blood of these barbarians destroy Dalmo."
The plain land was completely dyed red.”
…
Vakul didn't pay too much attention to the fact that he was surrounded by 70,000 people. Instead, he lay on the comfortable velvet stone bed and drank the mead, a specialty of Jade Collar.
Xuelai Fortress was built by the Stugala people who have become history. Coupled with the favorable terrain, unless the enemy is a bird-man with wings or a gopher who can burrow, 70,000 people alone will not be able to defeat him at all.
It is impossible to break a fortress guarded by 30,000 people.
The Stugala people are famous architects. These mountain people who live in the north and near the tundra ice fields have a unique understanding of stone and mud. They have built many miraculous defensive buildings in the mountains, including
Xuelai Fortress, Beihai Fortress, and Kaljas Anvil were also created by the Stugala people. Unfortunately, twenty years ago, the Stugala people disappeared into the long river of history for unknown reasons.
, no one knows exactly what happened. Only the buildings left by the Stugala people still stand in the harsh cold wind.
When the Heidi and Freljord barbarians simultaneously sent troops to besiege the Snow Lai Fortress, Vakul and the other Noxian warband generals understood the enemy's plan and had already sent soldiers to seize the Snow Lai Fortress.
I searched it up and down several times.
In addition to the gates and battlement walls on the surface of the Xuelai Fortress, the core fortress on the bulge also has dungeons and underground rivers that connect to the underground world. On the five key nodes, the Stugala people have long considered
everything,
The solid wall brick door opening only leaves a distance for three people to walk side by side. On both sides are an abyss and an underground river that are tens of meters high. There is no chance of surviving a fall.
As long as large shields and spears are set up in front of the gate, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will not be able to break through the narrow defense line. Even if there are twice as many enemies, they can only be dragged outside the gate and slow down with the same strength advantage.
As he continues to work slowly and waits for work, Vakul doesn't have to worry about the enemy digging tunnels to launch a surprise attack on Xuelai Fortress. What's more, he has already arranged for Black Rose's earth elemental mages to be stationed at key nodes.
It will alert the mage and let him issue a warning.
When everything was ready, the crisis could be resolved naturally by just waiting for the reinforcements from Noxus to arrive. On the contrary, the tipsy Vakul was full of disdain for the enemy who had laid such a cheap strategy.
The rare peace did not last long. Suddenly, there was a conversation outside the door. The next moment, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a young man with tattoos on his face walked in. The steel scales glowed silver under the reflection of the fire.
Jiahuang Wakul was a little dizzy.
This boy is as good a material as his father, but it's a pity that he is too timid and doesn't even know what it means to be in trouble.
Soldiers trust a general who drinks calmly during war rather than a coward who patrols and lectures with a straight face all day long.
"General Vakul, the enemy is watching outside the fortress. Is it inappropriate to drink alcohol now?"
The man lying on the bed put down the mead bottle and raised his eyebrows at the visitor.
"Luo Yin, you are just like your father, you always like to make fuss out of molehills... Come and have a drink, relax kid, you will be fine."
Royin Sarapam was a little unhappy when he heard Vakul talking about his father.
"General Vakul, five battle groups with a total attack of 30,000 people are blocked here. We may be stabbed through the body by the enemy at any time. In your eyes, General, is this just a trivial matter?"
The two guards stationed at the door looked at each other, exchanged glances, and closed the wooden door again. Vakul sat up from the bed, his face gradually darkened. It was obvious that there was only a slight change in the curvature of the corners of his mouth, but it made him feel just now
Luo Yin, who started growing a beard, felt heavy pressure.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Boy Luo Yin, I know Xuelai Fortress better than a woman's body. I know how many people can be hidden in which hole. Thirty thousand
I have arranged everyone's food and clothing in an orderly manner. Now the barbarians in the Freljord and the fishermen on the beach can only use trebuchets to deplete our morale... Do you think you are more qualified to command the pioneering war?
group?"
This simple sentence made Luo Yin break out in a cold sweat, and he opened his mouth stubbornly. Luo Yin found that his throat was a little dry and hoarse. For a while, he couldn't make a sound, so he could only touch his clean face.
Stainless steel sword, as if this can give yourself some courage.
"Young boy from the Usas family, I have already stabbed someone with a knife before you even started sucking milk. Don't let your whole family be ashamed of you. Just retreat."
It is a good thing that you are willing to face the enemy seriously, but you should not show panic on your face and come to question your superiors.
As a leader, as a general, calmness and calmness are things that must be mastered. No matter how bright your sword is, it will not kill many enemies, but your unflinching courage and calmness can give soldiers the courage to kill.
Help you kill thousands of enemies..."
After being scolded with a slap in the face, Luo Yin walked quickly out of the room where Vakul lived under the sarcastic eyes of the guard.
