Chapter 171: Gene Potion, Strange Moat
On the bank of the river in Huainan City.
Cai Ming came to the high platform again.
Said to Xiao Zhan who has been guarding here.
"What's the situation now?"
Xiao Zhan frowned, and said with some doubts.
"Reporting to my lord, the construction of the pontoon bridge went smoothly, but it was a little bit smooth.
"Oh? What happened?"
"When we were building the pontoon bridge, there was no harassment. That's not normal!"
Cai Ming waved his hand.
"As long as there is no attack, it's fine. After all, crossing the river is the first element. After crossing the Huai River, they will be grasshoppers in autumn. It's useless to jump around."
At this time a soldier ran over and knelt down on one knee.
"Report to my lord, the bridge has to be built, and the other party has not attacked so far."
Although I was a little puzzled, I couldn't control so much at the moment.
He waved his hand directly.
"Order, quickly cross the river!"
"yes!"
The soldiers who had already been preparing on the shore rushed up to the pontoon bridge.
He rushed to the other side without looking back.
However, some soldiers remained on the pontoon.
These are dressed like beggars, looking around at the movement of the water.
They formally adjudicate the officers of the Order.
After they ran for a while on the floating bridge, they found that they had not been attacked.
The heart that has been carrying it is finally let go.
But they still didn't slow down.
There are more people behind them, running wildly to this side.
Just when everyone was about to arrive at the center of the floating bridge.
Suddenly, hundreds of figures protruded from the water.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!..."
Javelins flew over from a distance.
Obviously 100 people shot 400 javelins.
This is the waywardness of 4 hands.
Many people were shot into the river in an instant, so those who were transferred to the river were waiting for them to die.
Those Janna goblins lurking under the water dragged all those who fell into the river into a deeper place.
However, compared to the extremely large number of people, these 400 javelins have limited lethality.
After the javelin shot, I saw those that dived into the water again.
It didn't take long to stick out of the water again, and there were still more than 400 javelins.
The judgment knight standing on the pontoon was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
They don't know how to tread water.
But the opponent didn't intend to get close at all and just kept shooting with javelins.
The ruling knights had to stand on the pontoon bridge, Tian stared.
Cai Ming and the others also discovered the situation in Hezhong.
"What about those Jannas, my lord?"
"Don't worry about them, it's nothing to die a little bit, let's talk about it after speeding up."
"yes!"
This is also the most helpless choice.
They don't have any units to deal with in the river, those Jannas.
With an army of tens of millions, even if some of them died, it would not matter.
Even if those Jannas are all marksmen.
There are 400 javelins in one round. It is only 40,000 for 100 rounds.
Those Jannas have 40,000 javelins and they say otherwise.
So it doesn't matter.
I have been observing on the high platform for more than half an hour.
It was found that the other party had no other movement except Janna.
Said the side.
"Let's start crossing the river too!"
"yes!"
Everyone rode on tall horses and rushed towards the pontoon bridge quickly.
When they reached the middle position, they were still attacked by Jannas.
But Cai Ming and others are all masters.
This attack can't hurt them at all.
No other attacks were found all the way to the other side, and everyone was relieved.
"Pass it on, quickly assemble the army and go to Huaibei City!"
"yes!"
Because the river bank is closer to Huaibei City.
After a team of phalanxes were assembled, they began to march towards Huaibei City.
Did not stay too much on the river bank.
All the enemy troops stationed here have been evacuated.
Yun Chuan and others are standing on the wall of Huaibei City at this moment.
Watching teams of troops coming.
If you look down from the sky, Huaibei City at this time is like an isolated island in the black sea, surrounded and impenetrable.
This is a sign of planning to annihilate Huaibei City in one fell swoop.
And Huaibei City is also overcrowded.
For this war, all the surrounding soldiers were mobilized into the city.
Even the houses normally used can no longer satisfy the large number of troops.
Except for the normal driving roads, other places are full of camps.
The city walls were even more crowded with people.
It seems that another human wall has been formed on the city wall.
The only remaining road is also reserved for the transportation of supplies.
All kinds of noises can be heard endlessly.
After the army outside the city was arrayed, they began to build various siege machines.
They did not hide in the rear and build quietly.
Instead, it was blatantly started to be built in the frontline army.
It can be seen from the appearance that those are exactly the catapults that Yun Chuan used to like to use.
He wasn't alarmed by this.
"Boss, they are building a catapult!"
"Well, if they don't use catapults, I will find it strange. Don't forget that Huaibei City used to have catapults. Now they use catapults, which is quite normal.
Spicy Crayfish nodded, with a sinister smile on his face.
"Then shall we fight them now?"
They have already studied the catapults used by the local army.
Compared with your own catapult, the level of technology is much lower.
It turned out that the maximum range of the catapults in Huaibei City was only more than 300 meters.
The catapults made by Yun Chuan can reach more than 500 meters.
Now that they are in position, they can completely hit the enemies in the front row.
Although it can play a certain role in killing, Yun Chuan still shook his head.
"Don't worry, after they set up all the catapults, push them to the front row before attacking. Has the butcher's knife destroyed the floating bridge in the Huaihe River?"
Speaking of the pontoon, Spicy Crayfish had a gloating expression on his face.
"Hahaha, when the last batch of their troops arrived at the pontoon bridge, the butcher's knife made the two sea snakes destroy the pontoon bridge. As for the humans on the pontoon bridge, they had already fallen into the river, feeding the fish
Everything in Huaihe's plan went well.
He also relaxed a lot.
"You don't need to participate in the subsequent battles of the Janna clan, just pay attention to the movement on the Huaihe River."
"Well, after the supply line on the Huaihe River is cut off, they will inevitably go east to Yuntai City to supply supplies. Should we do something to cut off food and grass?"
Due to the huge number of opponents, it is extremely difficult to replenish.
The matter of cutting off food and grass must be dealt with.
After thinking about it, he said.
"Let the little prince's griffin flying troops go, there are angels in the city, just help take a look. Remind him that the main task is to cut off the enemy's food and grass supply line, and don't fight hard.
"it is good!"
Flying arms have a wide field of view, making it easier to spot the opponent's supply line.
In addition, the Griffon is also the overlord of the sky.
Even if there are three or two giant eagles, it's not a good match for the people.
The only pity is that these griffins have not been genetically enhanced.
In the category of flying arms, the Griffon is a very powerful one.
There is a technology company in the Universal Alliance, which specializes in genetically modifying and strengthening various animals.
Let some animals with potential be strengthened for the second or even third time, which can exceed the original combat power by several times, not only.
Some people may say, why not transform the intelligent race?
After countless experiments, they found that intelligent races cannot effectively suppress the harm caused by genetic enhancement.
Low-end racial enhancement is not enough to remember the cost of genes.
The middle and high-end races disdain the use of genetic enhancement.
After all, the use of genetic medicine or enhancement will cause permanent damage to the human body.
For example, it is clear that the upper limit of a person's strength is 8-star strength.
And he used the most genetic medicines, raising him to three-star strength.
It also cut off his continued growth, and no one would be willing to replace it.
In the end, some people even used the elite potion as poison. In order to cut off the growth of others, they would secretly inject this potion into their opponents.
This kind of thing happened more and more, and finally the Federation issued an order that from then on, genetic medicine and transformation could only be used on animals.
It's different in animals.
Due to the mixed blood of many animals in their ancestors, some rare animals will contain ancient blood in their bodies.
As long as these blood vessels are activated, the animal's strength can be enhanced on the original basis.
According to what he knew, griffins had a genetic drug that allowed them to grow scales outside their bodies.
And this drug has no side effects.
It just inspired the ancient blood in his body.
Yun Chuan also planned to train these griffins well, so naturally they would not be lost in vain.
"woo woo woo woo!!!!......."
When the opponent's siege machinery was installed, the horn of attack also sounded.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ......
Immediately afterwards, the beating of drums sounded in all directions.
This time it's not just a frontal attack.
Judging from the opponent's posture, it is obvious that they are attacking from the four walls at the same time.
"Tat-tat-tat-tat!!!
The soldiers in the front row, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, stood in front of the catapult like a human wall.
"Crunch, crunch..."
The catapults were pushed up one by one, making a creaking sound.
Following behind the soldiers in front, they approached the city wall.
Behind the catapults are trolleys with boulders placed on them.
These people are auxiliary soldiers, who specialize in serving the catapults.
After arriving at the predetermined position, the stones are put down and transported back and forth continuously.
When they were 250 meters away from the city wall, all the troops stopped.
This is to prevent javelin attacks.
Javelin attack range is usually about 250 meters.
Of course, there are some people who can exceed 250 meters, but for the entire army, even if there are individual people, it can't cause any harm to the army.
With the help of auxiliary soldiers, each catapult installed stones.
Their idea is very simple, that is, first use the catapult to suppress the firepower of the city wall.
Then deploy it according to the situation.
It's just that things often don't go as smoothly as they imagined.
Just before they installed the 127 stones.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!...
There was a sudden sound of breaking through the sky.
Everyone looked up to the sky.
I saw boulders flying into the sky one by one, and then hitting them again.
The scene is like a meteor falling.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"
When boulders hit the ground one by one, there was a bang bang.
Wow!!!"
The distance of the opponent's catapult was completely beyond their imagination.
The catapult that his side had just pushed over was instantly destroyed in this attack.
The screams became the melody of the battlefield.
Even those strong master soldiers standing in the front row holding shields were smashed to pieces at this moment.
Obviously, this kind of power is not something they can compete with at this level.
Cai Ming, standing on the high platform behind, naturally saw this scene.
Cai Ming was a little annoyed by this.
The catapult technology he chose was made by a very advanced local method.
There is no doubt that the other party must have modified the catapult.
It's just that he didn't expect that the other party still has research on ancient war weapons.
Seeing that the weapons of war could not be used for meritorious service, he was about to order the whole army to dispatch.
A correspondent ran over.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that the other party dug a 50-meter-wide chasm in front of the city wall."
This made him startled.
"Has the opponent widened the moat?"
"It should be, it's just..."
"Don't hesitate, just speak!"
"Yes! It's just that there is no water in the moat. The original moat has been widened, and the bottom of the moat has also been deepened.
This made him unable to understand.
Normally, the moat stops when the groundwater source is dug.
Then use the groundwater source to form a moat.
But the other party did not let the groundwater seep out, what does this mean?
"What's the staff's suggestion?"
"Not yet, it will take time to landfill, and in the short term we can only use strong ladders to build temporary aisles.
He never thought about filling the gap.
It's not that this method doesn't work, but that it's too close to the city wall.
If you want to fill a gap, you will lose your troops.
Instead of wasting suicide landfills, try storming the walls.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitate.
"Order the auxiliary soldiers, connect the wall ladders, and build a temporary suspension bridge.
"yes!"
The wall ladder itself is more than 30 meters long. As long as two strong ladders are connected, a simple suspension bridge can be formed.
Although this simple suspension bridge does not take up too many people.
As long as the number is sufficient, a large number of people can still attack the city wall at the same time. .
