Chapter 821: fortification

"After more than a year, I am back here."
Zhao Shi rushed forward, staring at the tall and majestic city in the distance.
It is worthy of the name of the capital of a state. The city wall is eight meters high, and there is a moat more than ten meters wide outside the city. The turrets, bed crossbows, and stone slings on the city wall are densely packed. Rolling stones and huge trees are piled up like a mountain, and there is no shortage of food.
Wu Guo planned and prepared for a long time, and the various materials inside the city were extremely abundant, consuming most of the domestic reserves, and mobilizing millions of civilians in various places.
This was originally the bridgehead for Wu Kingdom to invade Lingzhou, Hezhou, Mingzhou and other places, and the starting point for Wu Kingdom to unify the world.
But with the defeat of Mingrencheng Wei Tianyang and not bothering with Zhao Shi, all of this became a bubble, but it also made the Qingzhou defense battle possible.
Instead of rushing to attack the city, first dig the fortifications of the anti-cavalry, assemble the siege tower trebuchet, build the high platform, excavate stone and so on.
Step by step, as steady as an old tortoise, without worry at all.
There are more than 400,000 troops from the regular army of the Zhuang Ding and Wu Nation. It is extremely difficult and dangerous even for a few heavenly kings to lead the army to attack the city.
However, this preparation seems to have been too long.
One week has passed and I am still preparing. Everyone can understand this, and I can barely accept it in two or three weeks.
However, after two consecutive months, there was still no sign of attacking the city. Instead, a low wall appeared outside the city.
It is not high, only two meters, and four meters wide. It can stand many people on it. It is built with huge wood and mud. It is far less than the state city in front of you, but the protective cavalry is absolutely foolproof.
Not only the low wall, but also densely packed horse stumbling pits are arranged on the inner side. There are horse-rejecting and traps near the pits, which will make any cavalry scalp numb immediately upon seeing it. This is a systematic project for cavalry.
Two months later, this kind of simple city wall had already enclosed Qingyi City in half.
It is expected that all will be closed in two months.
"wrong!"
Bai Feng, who was patrolling the city defense on the city wall, was suddenly startled: "Zhao Shi wants to besiege us. He will not attack the city, just like he bypassed Mingren City and captured Yizhou and Kezhou."
Hei Yan and Kuang Xu both shook their bodies and thought of this possibility.
The army of the Blood Sea Immortal Alliance did not dare to bypass Qingyi City because their food path could be cut off by the 180,000 cavalry in the city at any time.
But once this outer city wall is built, the cavalry will be trapped in the city and let the blood sea army attack Yanzhou, Liangzhou and other places, turning their city into a deadly lone army.
"They must be stopped!"
Buzzing~
The gate that had been closed for two months was opened, and Kuang Xu led 70,000 cavalry soldiers out. After making some bewildering moves, he suddenly accelerated and killed the construction site at the gap in the earth wall on the left.
The front of the soldiers was as fast as electricity, like a heavy fist. The soldiers who were working on the construction site quickly hid behind their guarding companions.
During the construction period of the city wall, Zhao Shi, who was sitting cross-legged next to the white horse for practice, opened his eyes, climbed up on the horse, and said briefly: "Follow me!"
"Yes, President."
More than 80,000 horses from the rear accelerated to the peak and rushed to the battlefield.
In front of Kuangxu, there was a piece of wood that was built with logs. There were three columns, two meters wide, and they were blocked in front of the cavalry.
It's useless to go around, because this kind of refusal has three sides, and the other is the already built city wall, there is no weakness.
"kill!"
Kuang Xu, riding on the horse, didn't use weapons. His two pairs of fists blasted out seven or eight punches one after another, smashing to pieces that were more than 100 meters ahead, and the army slammed into the tight formation of the blood sea infantry along the gap.
The blood blossoms continuously bloom between the two contacts. This is not a loose army formation in the march, but a tight army formation that has already been prepared.
Kuangxu's double fists continued to blast, and each fist slammed a transparent ripple outward, blasting dozens of nearby blood sea soldiers to death, spears and armor shattered, and there was no enemy, but a denser formation was created. More casualties.
But in places he couldn't take care of, the military cavalry was at a huge disadvantage.
In order to protect the cavalry, the Blood Sea Guild replaced it with a five-meter long spear and placed it on the shoulders of its teammates, forming a sharp jungle.
This kind of formation is cumbersome and poorly flexible, and it is difficult to put it in the march, but there is no problem at the moment.
The Wuguo cavalry crashed into this kind of jungle and instantly turned into blood gourds. The cavalry that shunned them died with their horses. The cavalry behind them had to stop from the high speed. They lost their speed, and the horses and horses were close together.
The cavalry frontal impact on the tight infantry formation is too weak. This is what the infantry should do.
It's just that they have a strong cavalry force, but the infantry is pitifully few, pitifully weak, and it's good to be able to defend the city.
As for the strong and the like, they can barely defend the city under the custody of an officer. If they are released, they will immediately surrender and take the enemy out of thin air.
Kuang Xu blasted the soldiers of the blood sea all the way, and when he looked back, his heart suddenly sank.
He rushed in with thousands of people, but most of the cavalrymen were trapped outside the infantry position. They did not advance or retreat. There were a lot of casualties at all times.
In addition, the instinct and reason developed to a very high level told him that a huge danger is approaching.
"Withdraw."
Not daring to delay any longer, Kuangxu opened his way with both fists, blasting a path and fleeing backwards. The cavalry who had joined together and remained outside rushed to the city gate.
Rumble!
There was a deafening sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the speed of the sea of ​​blood had increased to its peak, turning into a flash of lightning to kill here.
At the same time, three icy murderous intents locked the madness at the front of the army, causing every cell in his body to tremble.
This is the feeling of death, and it is likely to die in a short time.
"It's great, but it's not possible now."
Kuang Xu's eyes showed desire, but he could only restrain himself and lead his subordinates to flee here quickly.
The core of his practice is constant fighting, fighting between life and death, using the battle that will die at any time to sharpen his instincts and awaken more human treasures.
He could feel that the current Zhao Shi and his God-Transforming Combat Force Group were excellent combat targets, and would not kill him instantly, but could kill him at any time.
If he can win the battle with Zhao Shi, he is confident that his strength will make a big breakthrough.
It's a pity that this possibility is very small. With the expectations of many people, he can't arbitrarily fight according to his own ideas. Bo Na is a ray of life.
Kuangxu's desire is not understood by Zhao Shi. The cultivation of immortal cultivators lies in the accumulation of mana and research, and the things that can make one's strength soar in a fight seem to him like a fantasy.
The 80,000 blood sea cavalrymen intercepted the cavalry brought by Kuangxu, stopped more than 40,000 men, and were subsequently annihilated under the encirclement of infantry and cavalry.
After this battle, the city did not send out cavalry to harass for a long time, so that the blood sea fairy alliance's fortification plan continued to advance.
