It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 189

A waterfall hangs over the cliff, falls from the sky, and falls into the river. The white river divides the valley into two sections.

The tidal flat washed out by the river is the most fertile land. At this time of the past year, it is time to sow seeds. With such a heaven-made home, only relying on self-cultivation and self-cultivation, the toad village can live well.

However, the Rong tribe called over, not to mention farming, many people couldn't sleep well all night, and the good fields could only be abandoned.

Cheng Dalei took Xu Shenji around the valley, and he was ready to leave.

As long as Cheng Dalei is not mad, he will not feel that he can still hold it now. It is only a matter of time before the city breaks, and preparations must be made early.

Breaking through the city gate almost didn't even think about it. What Cheng Dalei meant was that it wouldn't take much time to dig a mountain road in the valley and 5,000 people would evacuate together.

Cheng Dalei has a map of Qingniu Mountain, because it is rewarded by the system, so the accuracy is much better than that of the prince of the Rong tribe. Cheng Dalei can find the valley suitable for digging from the map.

Of course, the difficulty is still very big, and there is gunpowder in the process of thunder, which can be used for blasting. Although difficult, it is not impossible.

As long as there is this outward mountain road, the dead chess game of Toad Village will be revived.

dong dong dong!

Suddenly there was a rapid drumbeat from the city gate, and a minion rushed over.

"Report! The big boss, the Rong clan called."

"Called again." Xu Shenji was shocked, and he also understood the seriousness of the current situation.

"It's time to call." Cheng Dalei shook his head: "Let everyone go to the city."

"Master, can you still hold it?" Xu Shenji was frightened.

"Watch." Cheng Dalei said.

Watch here, watch over there. When Cheng Dalei came to the city gate, he saw that his own defense had been set up, everyone's eyes were firm, and there was no more panic and panic when defending the city for the first time.

I have to say that these bandits in Toad Village are more and more like a real elite soldier. Continuous persistence has given them self-confidence, and self-confidence has allowed them to condense their minds. Now they are no longer five thousand individuals, but a whole.

The man who walked over the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood was naturally tougher than ordinary people.

The army of the Rong tribe marched forward, and the soldiers pushed the trebuchets forward. At this time, the number of trebuchets had reached a terrifying one hundred.

As soon as it entered the range, the trebuchets were launched together, and the falling rocks fell like rain, smashing on the city wall one after another.

At the same time, the Toad Village started to fight back, and a small trebuchet appeared on the top of the Toad Village. This kind of machine is not technically difficult. If you know what it looks like, you can figure it out.

Of course, the trebuchets that appeared on the city walls were much smaller than the places, and the stone bullets shot were only the size of a football.

But the Toad Village was not shooting stone bullets...

rumbling...

When it landed, it made a violent explosion sound, and the iron pieces splashed. Once it exploded, it was a piece of death.

This is what Cheng Dalei researched. The outer layer is iron, and the middle is filled with gunpowder, iron nails, and stones. It is probably equivalent to buckling two iron pots together and filling them with explosives. It can probably be named... Iron Pot Bomb?

It's not too technical. Before throwing it, you need to ignite the lead. It's not tested before the big thunder, but the power is okay.

Therefore, war is indeed the first driving force of science and technology. Whether in this era or in Cheng Dalei's previous life... Tanks, bombers, automatic rifles, and other weapons that ordinary people are familiar with, were actually invented during World War I and World War II, with a history of less than a hundred years.

As soon as this kind of explosive appeared, it blew up the souls of the Rong clan, and in an instant, Cheng Dalei gained a large wave of fear points.

And Cheng Dalei's side is also very dangerous. Even if the city wall can automatically restore its durability, it can't stop the violent bombardment of the trebuchet.

Cheng Dalei and the commander of the Rong clan both understand that the Rong clan can already break through this toad village, and whether it can be broken or not depends on how much the other party is willing to pay for it...

In front of the gate of the Toad Walled City, there is a triangular open space, and the army of 100,000 cannot be lined up at all, and each attack is only a few thousand people at most. Under the bombardment of Cheng Dalei, this open space completely turned into a meat grinder for slaughter.

You can take this city, but how many lives are you prepared to pay for it... Five thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, or more...

Obviously, the enemy's commander did not have such great courage. After paying the price of thousands of lives, looking at the crumbling city gate, the other party reluctantly chose to retreat.

As soon as the other party left, Cheng Dalei immediately ordered the city wall to be repaired, the defense skills were activated, and soon the city wall was intact, as if it had never been attacked.

On the other hand, Cheng Dalei immediately converted the Fear Points he had harvested today into gunpowder, which was the basis for defending the city and digging the mountain road.

The Rong clan camp, lifeless.

The high spirits when the soldiers assembled had disappeared, and everyone lowered their heads, thinking of the tragic situation of the siege today, and unknowingly having lingering fears, of course, this provided some fear points for Cheng Dalei.

Jin asked proudly in his heart: let you go crazy, let you laugh at me, now you know how powerful it is.

"Continue to fight, the casualties are too high, what do you guys think?" the eldest prince asked.

"It's impossible to attack by force. It's really not possible. We can only send a team of people to climb the mountain and break through from the inside."

"Throw a few corpses into the valley and let them contract the plague, and the city will be destroyed by itself."

"The mountain is steep, and the army can't be transported up. If the troops are too small, it will kill you." The eldest prince rejected these methods.

"Then there is only one way to besiege the city. If you trap them for half a year, until they run out of food, the natural city will be destroyed."

"No, we didn't spend so long here. Besides, we've been sleepy for half a year. I don't know if they will survive. We must be out of food first."

There was a lot of discussion, but no one could come up with a way to win without paying a price.

Suddenly, someone said a word: "Do we have to fight the toad village?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became quiet, everyone looked in other directions, and no one said a word.

When attacking Youzhou, is it necessary to destroy the Toad Village?

The answer is... not needed.

Qingniu Mountain is a strategic location. If the empire has a heavy army in Qingniushan, it can attack and retreat. If the Rong tribe continues to move south, they must be careful of sneak attacks from behind Qingniushan.

But there are 5,000 people in Toad Village, and only 1,000 or 2,000 have combat power. Even if these 2,000 people are elite soldiers, they can't play a big role.

Moreover, whether it is breaking the road and defending or attacking from behind, it has to go out of the city, and in the wild, Cheng Dalei may understand why the Rong cavalry is called the unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, to attack Youzhou, it is not necessary to lay down the Toad Village.

You can totally bypass it.
