The first shot of the final decisive battle was fired in Caiyu City.
But the first shot was not fired by Prince Yuwu, as the six-winged King Artest had expected, by openly disobeying the imperial order and commanding the demon army. Instead, Rommel commanded the Caiyu City army to take the lead in launching the attack and took the initiative to strike.
The death knell of the decisive battle.
Mei Shuai knew very well why he was assigned to this city by Richard.
Although Mourinho, the chief priest of the Swan, is famous and has extraordinary strength, he has not been heard to have any outstanding achievements in the military. There is a saying that "every line is as separate as a mountain". A famous priest and a famous commander are completely different things.
Just because the army has served well does not mean that it can command operations.
However, after arriving at Caiyu City, Rommel still felt that Richard was too picky about people.
The Swan Priest is indeed an all-around genius among all-around geniuses! After just a brief glance at Caiyu City's defensive measures, the handsome man definitely gave this conclusion full of exclamation points.
Caiyu City, which faces east and west, is backed by snow-capped mountains, and is guarded by dense and lush coniferous pine forests on its left and right sides. A huge and continuous solid tree wall is built against the mountain, encompassing the mountain wall behind the city together with the clear springs and waterfalls into the city.
Cave platforms have been carved out by the citizens of Caiyu City on the towering and steep snow-rock mountain walls as a position for setting up trebuchets and crossbows - this is an excellent vantage point.
The extremely generous tree wall towers are lined with arrow towers and are fiercely contested. The ancient war trees are filled with vigilant sentries. Well-trained warriors are already ready to fight. The garrison caves and strategic reserve warehouses inside the city walls are structurally
They are very reasonable and very convenient for the guards on the city tower to call. At a glance, you can tell that this kind of city defense layout is the result of careful design by experts - through special geographical conditions, the jade city not only makes full use of the natural features on the snow-capped mountains and rock walls,
The commanding heights also used virgin forests to protect the left and right wings of the city. Once a war broke out, the attackers could only launch a one-way offensive from west to south, and what the defenders had to do was to use all their strength to defend the five-mile-long west wall.
There is no need to worry about threats from other directions, which greatly saves troops.
The most insidious thing is that Mourinho built the Jade City in the deepest part of the coniferous pine forest. If you want to enter the Jade City from the Danube Wasteland, you must first pass through a narrow forest path! This is a great influence on the military movement.
It is another big problem for the attacker. If a large enough flat land is not opened up in the coniferous pine forest in advance, not to mention heavy equipment, even the troops will not be able to deploy in front of Caiyu City.
The coniferous pine forest at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is a primeval forest. Each coniferous pine tree is over a thousand years old and is at least ten arms in diameter. It is not easy to cut down such a thick old tree with thick roots on a large area.
Even if the opponent can maintain their posture, Caiyu City's fifteen-meter-high tree wall, geometrically cut corners, and duplex structure's crossfire are enough to make this semicircular tree wall a nightmare for any attacker! Beautiful!
Shuai is a master at attacking cities and plundering territory. Of course he knows that in the era of cold weapons, there is no military fortress more difficult to conquer than this multi-sided structure of the city! This is the crystallization of Aegean human wisdom and the art of defense.
The fruits of sublimation after being quantified and refined!
The elves certainly couldn't build a tree city with such extreme military tendencies. All this was obviously the work of the Swan Priest.
However, from the wall outside the tree wall, Rommel could still see some elf-style defense measures. Those thick layers of thorns and vines clinging to the wall, no one except Aegean Mainz would use them——
Each of these giant rose-like vines is as thick as a child's arm, twisted and tangled like a strange python. The dense, green and plump leaves are covered with clusters of brown thorns as thick as fingertips. The soldiers on the siege were stung by these things.
It's not much better if you don't get hit with a dagger; as for the huge scars and tree holes on the tree wall, you know they are hidden fire points without asking.
The most distinctive thing is that there is no moat in the frontier area of Caiyu City. Instead, the inner wall of the city wall is filled with shin-deep warm water. This water is drawn from the hot spring waterfalls pouring down from the snow-capped mountains.
Jade is full of heat. Although it is winter, it is full of colorful duckweed flowers and large-leaf water lilies, which are very beautiful - this is obviously an artificial wetland set up for fire prevention.
The houses in the city are also very unique. There are vine bridges as complex as spider webs between the canopies of the old pine trees. You can wander between the major tree houses without having to keep your feet on the ground. If the demon trebuchet wants to
To attack this city, I'm afraid I have to ask the elastic tree canopy first if they agree!
City offensive and defensive warfare is an extreme fighting method that involves fighting willpower and attrition. Among various types of battlefields, city siege and defense have the least technical content. It is no longer simple to be able to do what Caiyu City did.
After paying attention to the high-end lineup of the Jade City, Rommel secretly smacked his lips, the faceless beast of the snowfield, the Jingwei Phoenix, the Liverpool Vermilion Bird, the Nemean Lion, the Fire Phoenix, the White Tiger of the Moon, the Deep Ocean Blue Seal, and the Emperor Clam.
, Moon Elf Mage, Cloud Giant... This is not the strength that a noble territory can have...
"A beautiful and solid city, a commander who is proficient in military affairs, and a powerful and elite army." This is Rommel's evaluation of Caiyu City, Mourinho and the defenders of Caiyu City.
Mei Shuai is a military expert who is very good at using geographical conditions to achieve victory for himself. Caiyu City can perfectly utilize all the natural resources around it, so it is no surprise that it wins his praise.
However, Caiyu City is not perfect. In the eyes of the handsome man, although this city has the right time and place, it is also a "dead city". Assuming that the front wall is breached by the enemy, the defenders who are trapped in the jar will break through.
No way can be found... This kind of "dead city" will only have two consequences in the war, either a shocking victory, or the entire army is annihilated...
Based on his sensitive identity, the master's self-esteem and the existing magic conditions, Rommel tried his best to avoid unpleasant topics, and only asked Mourinho about the doubts he was most concerned about: "Mr. Jose, I won't say that you should also
I know that a forest fire broke out in the coniferous pine forest at the foot of the snow-capped mountains some time ago. The oil content of coniferous pine is so high. Aren’t you afraid of building the jade mining city in the pine forest..."
"You are afraid that if our enemies attack with fire, the Jade City will be burned down, right?" Mourinho played with the golden flute and explained expressionlessly: "If a forest fire really breaks out, of course we have only one way to retreat.
You can go! But the other party has already issued a challenge to me. I think they are not so reneging on their word..."
"You may not believe it. According to our scout reports, these demons seem to be very fond of the coniferous pine forest at the foot of the Taimurraya Snow Mountain. Their heavy equipment is all made from materials at the edge of the Southern Cross Forest and has not been touched.
A piece of bark in the coniferous pine forest at the foot of the snow-capped mountains! In addition, there are no less than 100,000 demon engineer troops, who have been active in the snow-capped pine forests recently and are busy digging holes." Old Duke Brückner shook his head with a wry smile and pointed
The demon army living outside Caiyu City, sweating like ants, cutting down trees and clearing the site, said: "To be honest, I really can't figure out the intention of the demon army... You and I both know... the military value of Caiyu City is zero, and the demon army
There is really no need for the tribe to take the risk of casualties to attack this city... Burning this place with fire seems to be a good deal for them..."
"Are they trying to make aerial bombs?" Rommel's military sense was revealed at this moment, and he guessed the true intention of the demons in just a blink of an eye: "The oil content of pine trees is quite high, especially the snow-capped conifer pine.
The demon clan so deliberately protects the snow-capped mountains and pine forests for this purpose only."
If the two Lich Kings of the Demon Realm were here, they would definitely scream monsters when they heard Rommel say this.
In order to catch the future enemy Sea Clan army off guard, the "Turpentine Aerial Bomb" of the Demon Realm Aviation Force was placed at the bottom of the box and was not exposed.
The Swan Priest Mourinho and the old Duke Brückner looked at each other, their eyes flashing brightly. They were obviously shocked by Rommel's speculation - if this guess is correct, the demon army chose to attack Caiyu City instead of a
It's completely logical to just burn it out.
Rommel raised his head to look at the sky, and then used the lookout machine in his hand to carefully observe the movements of the demon army outside the city. He frowned slightly and reached out to find his own bones.
"Actually, even if they have aerial bombs, it's not a big deal..." Old Duke Brückner smiled coldly and regained his original arrogance: "We are Smyi! The patent for setting up the blue sky restricted area will always be in our hands!"
"The situation seems a bit weird." Rommel put the Bone Union Treasure Box back into his pocket: "I contacted Feilengcui and Wangyougu, and the result is that the enemy is preparing and has not yet launched an attack."
"Do you suspect that the other side is going to use an aerial bomb offensive to clean us out?" Mourinho, the head priest of the Swans, tapped his handsome forehead with a golden flute, and showed off the bone union treasure box elegantly: "Okay, I will do it right away.
Contact London and dispatch 300 Simai soldiers to Feilengcui and Wangyou Valley."
"Sorry to disturb you all." Two colorful dragons and two fairy dragons came over in an angry manner. The colorful dragon was covered in armor and pretended to be a warrior, and the fairy dragon was covered in a cloak and pretended to be a mage: "The enemy is clearing the site, and the war is about to break out.
, where should our partners set up an ambush? Isn’t it a waste of resources to just throw them in the space ring!”
The two dragon cities sent a total of two pairs of high-ranking dragons and forty-six ordinary dragons to support Caiyu City. In addition, Rommel brought six hell black dragons and a listening silver elephant. There were so many big guys hiding on the towers.
It is absolutely impossible to hide it. But if you don't hide it in the tower, you can rely on two pairs of colorful dragons, fairy dragons, three third-level dragons that can transform into human forms, and Rommel to hide among the defenders of the tower. The effect of the sneak attack will be limited——
There is no doubt that when the battle begins, the enemy masters will focus on attacking the main city tower. If fifty-six giant dragons can open fire at the same time...
"I have no way to solve this problem." Rommel raised his hand simply: "There are really more than fifty giant dragons on the tower. Even if the demons collectively get cataracts, they will not be invisible."
"This is indeed a big problem..." Old Duke Swan hesitated.
"If you can't hide, then don't hide it, just pull it out and fight with the opponent with real swords and guns!" The violent colorful dragon was covered in armor and was full of opinions. The invincible Aegean dragon clan, dictionary
Is there ever a despicable and cowardly word like "ambush" in this book?
"You must not do this!" Rommel's face immediately turned serious: "Do you want to kill Richard?"
"Kill Lord Richard? How do you say this?" A fairy dragon with pimples on the tip of her nose asked strangely: "Mr. Rommel, are you being too alarmist?"
"Richard's sneak attack and ambush strategy and the "upper Sis vs. lower Sis" tactics are indeed a beautiful strategic plan, but this plan also has a natural fatal flaw - the number of Aegean masters is too small!" Rommel sneered.
: "Which of the top leaders in the three worlds of Demon, Sea and Underworld is the loser? If Caiyu City reveals its strength in advance, can the news that the Aegean masters are safe and sound be preserved? By then, everyone will fight with open fire and fight with real swords and guns to win or lose.
How sure do you think Aegean is of defeating the combined power of the three realms of demons, sea and underworld?"
Two pairs of colorful dragons and fairy dragons immediately withered.
"What is Jade City? Jade City is the biggest bet in Richard's plan!"
"He bets more than fifty giant dragons here. This is a high-end power that the demons would never have imagined!"
"We must rely on sneak attacks and ambushes to severely damage the enemy's high-end forces in order to achieve the goal of supporting the other two fronts of the battlefield as soon as possible!" After Rommel finished speaking, he asked the brave colorful dragon just now: "Now you still have
Do you think we should pull out all the giant dragons and fight each other?"
"But..." Colorful Dragon is not stupid either: "How many of the other masters can be severely damaged by just the few of us?"
"It's because we don't have the strength to inflict serious damage on the other side, so we leave this task to Wangyou Valley and Feilengcui!" Rommel's expression was extremely painful. It was really not a happy thing to explain strategies and tactics to a stupid person: "
Don’t you understand? One of the three fronts will always be the first to start a war. Since the news that the Aegean masters are safe and sound will be exposed sooner or later, of course, the harder the blow to our enemies, the better! Feilengcui has an Iron Curtain projection,
There are many humanoid masters in Wangyou Valley, and it is far more advantageous for them to sneak attack on the enemy than us! The current mission of Caiyu City is only one, which is to stop the war. Once the war starts, the opponent must be eliminated as soon as possible, and then the other fronts can be quickly supported!"
"Damn... Why hasn't the fight between Feilengcui and Wangyou Valley started yet..." Colorful Dragon was a little unconvinced, but had nothing to say, so he could only mutter a few words of complaint to vent his frustration.
"Just one word, wait!" Rommel shrugged, meaning that there was nothing I could do.
His Bone Union Treasure Box made a roaring roar at the right time. After turning on the knob, a hint of joy flashed across his handsome face.
"Great! The demon army attacking Feileng Cui finally couldn't help but start summoning the forbidden curse!!!"
"This is asking for death. As long as Fei Lengcui brings down the two realms, the guy who summoned the forbidden spell will be attacked by the elements." The four descendants of the sacred dragon all laughed when the handsome man said this:
"These alien invaders seem to have decided that all of us Aegean masters have failed."
"Felengcui is the place most likely to severely injure enemy masters. The Iron Curtain of the Abyss is so cruel that the red clay slopes will turn into pitch black from a distance of more than 500 yards! I dare say that even if Richard doesn't kill the Ji Dao masters under his command,
If sent into battle, the adamantine feather arrows shot by the servants and the magic eunuchs' spells can kill a large number of top powerhouses in the three realms of the Demon Sea and the Underworld." Rommel chuckled and said: "I'm afraid even the most powerful commander in the Underworld can't withstand so many magics.
And the instant blast of adamantine feather arrows, right?"
"If I can figure out a way to hide the bodies of the ten giant dragons, can you lead us to fire the first shot of the ultimate decisive battle before the Valley of Forgetfulness and Feilengcui?" Mulini, who had not spoken yet, said
Oh, he suddenly asked Rommel a question: "Ten giant dragons, this number plus your hidden murderous intentions, should be enough to severely injure the demon masters outside Caiyu City!"
"I will lead you to take the lead in the battle..." The handsome man was sweating. "Mr. Mourinho, the top commanders of this city should be you and the old Duke of Brückner, right?"
"You're welcome. Although your behavior in the Battle of Youqiu made us, Simai, very displeased, I am still convinced of your tactical command talent. There are specialties in the art. Of course, the military command of Caiyu City will be left to you.
Only those who are experts can make the most of it.”
"What the magic bird means is what I mean." The old Duke nodded and agreed: "Although we, Simai, are proud, we also dare to face up to our own shortcomings and recognize the advantages of others."
"This..." Rommel knew in his heart that Mourinho was probably just like him. He was too overwhelmed by Richard's limelight and was thinking about when he could earn some face for himself so that he could prove it.
I am also a genius of this era, no worse than the Divine Comedy Shaman.
"Don't you want to prove your worth?" The golden-robed officiant didn't know if he had seen through Rommel's thoughts. It was like a spoonful of oil poured into the pit of fire. He inspired the handsome man's ambition with just one sentence.
: "I, Jose Mourinho, the most outstanding double phoenix priest in the history of the Smai tribe and even Behemoth, and you, Rommel, the famous victorious general in the Taklamago Desert, do we add up to
, worse than a womanizer?
Rommel, whose face was flushed, clenched his fists tightly and his body was shaking violently. Although he said nothing, everyone could see how excited and eager he was at this moment.
