Full text no ads Chapter 1052 Spider Array (seeking monthly ticket)
After a day of marching, Lorraine's 100,000 peacekeeping troops arrived in Desai City.
Far away, Lorraine can see the form of Desai City.
Desai is not a small city. Based on its scale, it is estimated that there can be 50,000 people in the city. Almohad is the number one city.
There are also large tracts of farmland and villages outside the city, which have always been densely populated and rich areas.
As Rufus said, Desai City is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The city is divided into two parts, half of which is on the plains, which are generally built along the slopes. The terrain is difficult and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
From the layout of the city, we can see the wisdom of the people who built this city. Even if the first half of Desai falls, the defenders can retreat to the cliffs of the second half and continue fighting.
To replace Almohad's new army, it would take about 50,000 to 60,000 people to take down the city, and it took a month's effort to attack.
But Lorraine didn't care too much. Even the high mountain barriers could not stop the bombardment of artillery, and it was a big deal to fire a few more shots.
Anyway, Sir Alex Ferguson now has nothing else but money~!
Lorraine then ordered the peacekeeping force to be divided into three parts, encircling Desai City from three sides.
It was already evening, and after setting up the camp, the defense was arranged. Let the whole army rest and recharge. Prepare to attack the city.
When Lorraine walked out of the tent early the next morning, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The tall Desai city is just a few miles away, from here you can vaguely see the southern army flag flying on the wall.
But from the peacekeeping camp to the city of Desai, the land is bare, without a single tree, not even a low bush, as clean as a bald head.
Lorraine looked around, and as expected, all the trees within a dozen miles outside Desai City were cut down.
Lorraine was startled, then smiled, and muttered, "It's pretty professional."
When the city is besieged, cutting down all the trees near the city in advance is of great benefit to the besieged party. Not only can we collect materials, but more importantly, we can prevent the enemy from taking materials on the spot, and only make siege equipment, which can buy a few days for the defender.
Lorraine secretly said in his heart: It seems that this wise general under Hadu still has a bit of order in his affairs.
Suddenly there was a voice next to him, saying, "Yes, my lord. Elerda has always done everything well, so Hardu likes it very much."
There was a sudden voice from the side, and Lorraine was almost startled. No one was waiting to talk to him at the tent door before.
Lorraine turned his head and saw that it was Rufus who had been newly accepted yesterday. He was neatly dressed and standing on the side of the guard. It seemed that he had been here for a while.
Lorraine smiled slightly, and said inwardly: This guy has an attitude and understands the rules of officialdom. Knowing that a guy like him who has no background or background, there is no other way to get promoted. The only way is to have something. When it's okay, just walk around the leader and look for opportunities to flatter.
In this way, the impression is left in the heart of the leader, and the chances of promotion in the future will be greater than others.
Rufus bowed to Lorraine and said, "Good morning, my lord. It is said that Elerda has cut down all the trees 30 miles around Desai to build his big project."
Lorraine glanced around a few more times, then nodded in agreement, and said, "There is another thing to say. Will you wait a while, Ma? Have you had breakfast? Didn't you come to have some dinner?"
Rufus hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have eaten it when I wake up, and the adults don't care about me."
At the same time, I secretly said in my heart: What's the joke, this grandpa must have breakfast with that close-knit maid, so I dare not open my eyes and disturb others' breakfast time.
His current importance is not enough to be able to eat at a table with Lorraine. He rushes to Lorraine's side, not to mention whether he can gain trust, first of all, he will attract the hatred of the generals and counselors around Lorraine.
These subordinates of Lorraine were not fellows of the Ruman Empire, or the younger brother of Grand Duke Julian, as well as the cronies of Vantino Silmelia, or the classmates of Lorraine Maple Leaf Danlin.
In terms of close relationship, a hundred of them together with Rufus, can't compare to one of them.
If they look at Rufus not pleasing to their eyes, there are ways to deal with this new Almohad nobleman.
He knew that Rufus still had this point, he had already settled to pay attention, here he must first hold his attitude, he is Lorraine's little brother. All text without ads
Then you have to be a man with your tail sandwiched, keep your duty, low-key, low-key, and then low-key.
Only when you need it, one will show up and show your importance.
So, before dawn, he got up and guarded Lorraine's door. In case this uncle can inquire at any time.
When the sun rises, the whole army has been feasted and dressed neatly.
With an order, the army walked out of the camp, gathered outside the camp, and lined up into a neat phalanx towards the city of Desai.
The outermost area is the Ranger performing reconnaissance and sweeping tasks.
They drove their horses and whips and spied around. Once they found the enemy's scouts, they immediately rushed to kill the enemy or drive them away so that they could not detect their own situation.
Behind them is a neat line of armored infantry. Under the command of the officer, they marched in tidy steps and strode forward.
The heavy footsteps were uniform, roaring, like mountains and oceans, and the earth trembling constantly.
Behind them is the artillery contingent that the whole army is watching.
Although their combat power is the strongest, their military capacity is the worst among the old and the army.
The artillery screamed and drove the carriage. From time to time, I have to go down and push a few more. All of them were sweating.
In order to cool down, many of the puppies took off their shirts, revealing muscular upper bodies and thick chest hair.
Leather whips, horses hissing, donkeys, people shouting, or the squeaking of the axles of the car, mixed together, full of a strange noise.
And every time they pass by, the animals will leave a place on the ground, which is extremely unpleasant.
Rufus stood by the road, watching the artillery unit pass by.
He also saw this legendary weapon for the first time. Looking at the slender tile-blue barrel, I couldn't figure out how the god-like Hadu, who was chanted among the people, was defeated by this weapon.
However, after a while, he would be able to see the power of the legendary weapon, and Rufus felt a little impatient.
After the artillery is the main army infantry.
Sixty-seven thousand people were divided into three parts, slowly approaching Desai City, until the army was about ten miles away from the city, a Ranger officer suddenly penetrated the army formation and galloped in.
He went straight under the big bow of Lorraine, saluted, and shouted: "Report~!"
Lorraine waved him to come over.
Lorraine found that the captain of the scout cavalry had a strange expression, as if he had seen something incomprehensible, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
The scout scratched his head and said: "Return to the commander, we found something abnormal under Desai."
"Lorraine frowned, something abnormal? As a commander, what I hate most is abnormal things, because that kind of things are often unpredictable things.
He said solemnly: "What is it?"
"Trenches," Detective riding said: "Cross and crisscross trenches."
Lorraine shook his heart, secretly said a bad sound, then waved his horse whip without saying: "Take me to see."
The cavalry captain agreed, then turned his horse's head, and ran towards the path.
Lorraine led a group of officers followed closely behind.
They came directly to a place eight miles below the city, and saw several scout cavalry stopped there, seeming to be on guard.
The officer immediately stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, that's there."
Lorraine stopped and looked up.
Not far from them, a big ditch a dozen feet wide suddenly appeared on the ground. It was unclear how deep it was, and it stretched infinitely to both sides.
This width is not large, but neither man nor horse can jump over.
And just on this horizontal trench, there is another longitudinal trench of the same width every tens of feet. After extending for 20 to 30 feet, there is another horizontal trench, which is then connected by longitudinal trenches, and then there are ...
Lorraine saw that the originally flat plain had been dug in a mess, and the trenches were densely like spider webs, centered on Desai City, radiating out for nearly ten miles.
The generals behind Lorraine looked at the cobweb trench in front of them in surprise, and then looked at each other. Someone whispered, "What's the matter?"
Behind them, Rufus seemed to have expected it, and he kept his face straight, unable to see any expression.
Everyone focused their eyes on Lorraine. Although they didn't show it on their faces, they were very unsure in their hearts.
The generals of the peacekeeping force followed Lorraine for half a year to play a war game, and they studied in-depth modern warfare with artillery as the main body. Of course, they could see at a glance the defense system developed to deal with artillery.
And more importantly, this method is very effective.
If personnel hide in trenches, shells hitting the ground cannot kill the enemy at all, even if they fall accurately into the trenches, their power is greatly reduced due to the limitations of the two walls of the trenches. Unable to use its advantages to kill the enemy in a large area.
Everyone asked themselves, in this situation, apart from relying on the strength of the force to push, they would not be able to think of a way to crack this trench battle for a while.
They can only focus on Lorraine to see what effective solution the deputy commander in chief can come up with.
Lorraine looked at the trenches and the city in front of him, and was very speechless for a while.
Hardu this guy is not bad, in such a short period of time, he actually found a way to deal with the artillery.
This made Lord Luo's plan to bombard the city all of a sudden. For a moment, Sir Alex Ferguson became quite angry and wanted to curse. Haduna, the old thing is not dead, and the light is here to harm people. Couldn't Sir Alex's fight be made simpler?
But seeing the eyes of the generals all falling on him, he could only take a deep breath and press down the anger.
As a dignified commander, he became angry at this time, and he could only tell the soldiers one thing-he had nothing to do with the opponent~!
This is very morale hurt.
Thinking of this, Lorraine suddenly laughed, and said with a happy expression: "This battle has been fought so far, and it's finally interesting."
Then he looked back at his subordinates and smiled: "Hadu deserves to be the best player in the world."
The generals nodded cautiously. When there is no alternative, the best thing to do is not to express opinions casually.
Rufus secretly praised in his heart that the deputy commander-in-chief is worthy of being a general, and he praised the enemy's attitude in front of his men, which is beyond the reach of others.
There are several generals who are not afraid to lower their morale and dare to publicly praise the enemy's wiseness. This can only show that Lorraine is full of confidence.
Lorraine nodded the trench in front of him, and said with a smile: "It seems that he really underestimated the heroes of the world."
But Lorraine knew that World War I and World War II had fully proved that passive defense of artillery and trenches were the best choice, but he did not expect that this method of response had been figured out by Hardu.
Lorraine jumped off the horse, stepped forward and walked forward.
The generals behind them hurriedly dismounted and followed them, and at the same time they drew out their swords nervously. Who knows if the enemy soldiers or archers are hidden in the trenches opposite.
Vera took out two pistols and followed Lorraine step by step.
Lorraine squatted on the edge of the trench and looked down. The trench was two to three meters deep. It would be difficult to climb up without a ladder. There was no trace of enemy activity in the nearby trenches.
He listened carefully, and couldn't hear the sound of people moving at all. The entire trench area was silent, like an unpredictable dead place. It also seems to be a huge trap full of crises.
Soldiers can only see the sky above their heads when they jump into the trenches. If they lose their reference, they can easily get lost in the maze-like trench net.
The trenches were narrow and it was impossible to deploy troops and give full play to the number advantage of Lao He's troops. Once you encounter an enemy, you can only start a war of attrition.
Under this circumstance, if a part of the invulnerable dark knight moves in the trench, it is simply a cannibal spider web.
Although the peacekeeping forces have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, if they want to take Desai City, they will have to work hard and suffer some losses.
When everyone looked at the corner at the end of the trench, there was always a sense of anxiety, as if a terrifying monster beast was hidden behind the corner.
Lorraine grabbed a handful of loess and slowly crushed it in his hand. Suddenly smiled: "You said, what if there are a hundred dark knights hidden in it?"
Everyone was silent. Of course, they knew how powerful the Dark Knight was. It could be said that even the most elite half-orc heavy infantry would not be their opponent if they fought in close quarters, and the Dark Knight's defense was too abnormal.
Only Rufus exclaimed: "The Dark Knight~!"
The person next to him turned his head and glanced at him disdainfully.
Rufus said with a dull expression: "The rumors are true..."
After speaking, there was another silence, not knowing what this guy was thinking.
Lorraine stood up and looked at the wall of Desai City in the distance. He didn't know whether it was the enemy's guard, the shooting range of the artillery, or there was no time to expand the trench.
Although he was still a little far away from the city wall from where he was standing, he had already entered the range of artillery shooting.
Thinking of this, he clapped the dirt on his hands and said with a relaxed expression: "Go, and go back. We finally came out and couldn't leave empty-handed. Anyway, let's smash the walls of Desai first."

When the officers and men of the artillery unit received the order to attack, they were still wondering: Why did they stop at this distance? This is not the optimal range of the artillery.
But commands are commands. They immediately pushed the artillery to a short distance from the trench, then constructed artillery positions and began bombarding the poor city walls of Desai.
Hundreds of artillery guns unfolded quickly, and a quarter of an hour later, the sound of thundering guns spread across the earth.
The artillery spit out flames, sending deadly shells near the walls of Desai.
The walls of Desai were quickly submerged in gunpowder smoke.
After nearly an entire hour of bombardment, the walls of Desai were devastated. Large sections of the walls collapsed to the ground, exposing gaps. Through the gaps, you can see the large buildings in Desai.
Then the artillery stopped attacking and waited quietly in place for orders.
In the rear headquarters, the generals quarreled, arguing about how to deal with the trenches.
Lorraine sat next to him, holding his head to watch them arguing, secretly calculating what would happen to the trench if he were the defender of Desai.
Lorraine suddenly remembered the profound film education he had received when he was a child. Combined with the film, of course, the traps must be first, and then there are strong defensive buildings such as bunkers.
The secret way is also indispensable. The clear way must be combined with the secret way. As long as the enemy enters the trench, the enemy will be attacked from all sides, and attacks come from all kinds of unexpected places.
In addition, you can also use various organs, as well as fire, flood...Anyway, all methods are vicious and vicious when giving birth to a son without a child.
I don't know if there will be a romance like "Hadu's poisonous tactics, Sir Alex Wisdom Takes Desai" or something like that, or if I come back to write one myself, or get some iron horse chain, hook and sickle spear.
Thinking of the depths, Lorraine smiled slightly...
The generals beside them stopped arguing and looked at them, the old man and asked, "My lord has a clever plan to break the enemy?"
"Huh?" Lorraine was startled, then smiled and shook his head, and said, "No."
Looking at their disappointed expressions, Lorraine said, "It's useless to talk about it here. We always have to send someone to test the truth."
Lorraine knew in his heart that this kind of trench was a hurdle he couldn't cross, unless another Cursed Mage who was even better than Rex came to a landslide and directly destroyed Desai City and this trench.
But this kind of bullish character ~EbookFREE.me~ has disappeared more than a thousand years ago.
If you really want to fight, the most effective weapon is either a shotgun or a flamethrower. Both of these weapons are trench killers.
The shotgun is just one shot in his own hand, and the flamethrower can be made even if it is done, but it is a one-time use and can only be sprayed.
Mage can also do, but put precious mage into dangerous hand-to-hand combat, unless you think about it.
At best, they will make investigation instructions in the sky.
Send ordinary soldiers carrying knives and guns in, and that is to give people food. When people are at home, they can abuse them as they wish.
But it's not that no one is available, half-orcs and heavy infantry are the most suitable candidates. But those are all elite soldiers, let them fight one-on-one with the ordinary soldiers of the Southern Army, and Sir Alex would be heartbroken.
