Chapter 0820 Engagement
In another world, April of the second year of the New Calendar of the North. The long winter finally passed, and the power of the frost goddess Orul had greatly subsided. The temperature warmed up, everything revived, and the earth was filled with spring.
Zhou Qingfeng paid attention to the southwest in the early 1993. By July, under the combination of guidance and attack, the drug trafficking forces in the Golden Triangle were smashed by him, either dead or escape.
The system determined that Zhou Qingfeng's work was successful and efficient, and could be promoted and replicated. It was a huge contribution to the country and the people, and gave a perfect reward and 10 million coupons.
But when he was given a reward, he promoted Zhou Qingfeng to level 15, his soul turned yellow, and his strength jumped sharply. However, the cost of dying once became more than 3.2 million coupons.
This exponential growth is so fucking crazy!
Return to another world again, stand on the newly built fortress wall in Danfog Town and look south. The wilderness in spring is full of greenery, and the scenery seems to be pleasant, but in fact it is a abandoned field with no one to farm.
With the boundary of the Thick Fog Town, the farmers of Banshee Castle in the south began to flee last winter. They entered the Thick Fog Town, received relief from the Cold Wind City to survive the difficult winter, and were included in the roster of the constituents of the Lord of Hugo.
In order to deal with Zhou Qingfeng's fortress, the Buqi family of Banshee Fortress was also forced to build a fortress in Shitan Town, fifty kilometers south. The fortress built was taller and larger than the fortress in Danfog Town, and could stockpile more troops and food and launch more fierce attacks.
It is too difficult to carry out large-scale projects in the winter of ice and snow. The Hanfeng City has explosives and kowtows. The Banshee Castle mobilized wizards from all cities in the north and filled the lives of untouchables.
The untouchables of the Buqi family fled all winter, and even the untouchables of the northern land fled. They rushed into the territory of Hanfeng City like a tide to seek shelter, and the bodies falling along the way formed signs of progress on the road.
Zhou Qingfeng stood at the head of the thick fog fortress and could clearly feel the madness of his opponent's desperate bets. Whether he could defeat Hanfeng City or not, the northern nobles would have their strength plummeted. Because they completely gave up spring plowing and took the initiative to attack.
One thousand meters south of the thick fog fortress, there was a noble army of about two thousand troops stationed on the road.
"There are five hundred infantry knights and one hundred and twenty wizards on the opposite side. All the remaining are heavy infantrymen served by noble entourages." Adrian stood behind Zhou Qingfeng and reported the strength of the enemy opposite.
"The Buqi family did come to work hard. They abandoned the carriage transportation and concentrated a lot of wizard storage rings to supply this team, just to prevent our wanton harassment."
In the telescope, the enemy wizards build magic circles on the spot and build temporary wizard towers. This can greatly enhance the wizard's combat power, but it is entirely based on years of accumulation to consume.
"The Buqi family really figured it out." Zhou Qingfeng put down his telescope. He could force the nobles from the north to this point, which neither side expected and could not accept.
The thick fog fortress was built two months earlier than the rock beach fortress. The men and horses of Cold Wind City continued to move south with the fortress as a base, crossed the mountains like wolves, passed through the fields, and entered the surrounding area of the Banshee Fort to launch an attack.
Ordinary local aristocrats have limited power and cannot withstand the fixed-point attacks of Hanfeng City. In two months, Zhou Qingfeng caused huge losses to the Buqi family, just like digging a large piece of meat on his body.
The clumsy aristocratic system was completely unable to adapt to the fast and fierce fighting style. They were forced to defend and accelerate the progress of building the stone beach fortress. Therefore, more untouchables died and triggered greater escape.
Now that the stone beach fortress has been repaired, the Buqi family is eager to launch revenge. They cannot efficiently and flexibly organize a large number of small teams of dozens of people, so two thousand people came.
"Who is the commander opposite?"
"Ferrell of the Hemlock Family of the Horn Fort has a very good relationship with the Buche family. Most of his territory is mountains, so the Hemlock family is basically an infantry knight."
"Does that guy like to wear a cow horn helmet, chain heavy armor, and big axe?"
"What?"
Zhou Qingfeng threw the telescope to Adrian and pointed to the front and said, "The enemy has come out of the camp. His Excellency Farrell is really anxious. The camp has just been built to start a war with us."
Adrian took the telescope and looked forward. The enemy was swarming out of the camp and slowly advanced forward in combat formation. He adjusted the distance slightly and saw more clearly, and said with a 'ah':
"His Excellency Hugo, it seems that more than the Hemlock family of Knoll Castle has arrived. I saw at least three family flags.
The Halton family in Broken Bridge City and the Kent family in Rapids City are also here. Hell, my subordinates must have omitted it, the enemy's power is stronger than expected."
Opposite the telescope, a huge ground lizard slowly crawled out of the noble barracks. It was covered with thick black rock armor, and corrosive mucus dripped from its giant fangs.
This monster is a blind man, and he relies on the echo of his voice to distinguish the surrounding situation. So it always roars and is breathtaking.
Farrell of the Hemlock family rode on the back of the ground lizard, behind him was a servant holding the family battle flag high. Behind him were two other family flags, leading a team of thousands of people out of the camp.
Farrell wore all over his body armor, and his closed horn helmet wrapped his entire face, like a strange-shaped can of iron. He raised his iron gloved arm on the back of the ground lizard and waved it forward heavily.
The wizard tower temporarily built in the camp has only two layers, but it is enough for the wizards to cast spells together. They strengthen and accelerate the group's strength while singing, and double the combat power of knights and soldiers carrying heavy weapons.
Farrell's team had to advance several hundred meters to approach the peripheral front of the thick fog fortress. The expected front line appeared in front of them. It was not a simple ditch, but a fortification built across and off, with a depth of more than 300 meters in front and behind.
It took two months to complete the fortress after it was completed by the Kobster Engineering Team.
The offensive team had to stop.
"Damn cowards, stupid arrangements. They are not even willing to accept my challenge."
Farrell rode on the ground lizard and cursed in a low voice. In his eyes, these fortifications were ridiculous tricks. The infantry knights under his command could sweep them with just one charge.
Behind Farrell, the Halton family's giant shield battle flag followed. The new city lord Harding Halton looked at the fortress opposite and suggested cautiously: "Do we need someone to fill those ditches?"
"Of course I have to fill it out." Farrell called out and called in a dozen wizards, "I am not a brainless barbarian, so I won't jump into the trap stupidly. This trick is ineffective for me."
Hundreds of sword and shield soldiers came out, holding a large shield tall, pushing forward. Twenty or thirty infantry knights wearing heavy armor were pressing the formation left and right. More than a dozen wizards walked past Farrell and began casting spells before reaching the frontline.
The zigzags and low walls in the shape of ‘Zhi’ are made of piles of soil and wood, and are normally very strong. However, the ‘silt technique’ will make the soil soft and seep water, and then collapse and turn into a pool of bubbles and smelly mud ponds.
Whether staying in a gully or behind a low wall, the original battlefield cover will disappear immediately.
The mud squat technique is quite cheap, but it will cost thousands of gold coins to throw a dozen at will. This is the huge consumption of war. But now the nobles in the north no longer care. If they don’t win this battle, everything they have will be gone.
The mud easily destroyed a section of peripheral fortifications. Farrell's subordinates used weapons to hit the shield and armor, making cheering screams. Next, as long as they use freezing techniques to harden the ground, they can gradually advance to the enemy's fortress.
As expected, as long as a few more "fossils into mud" and a series of fireball techniques are used, the enemy's defense will collapse without fighting.
Zhou Qingfeng stood on the wall of the fortress, looking at the enemy with expressionless face as he looked at his own defense. He only raised his hand and looked at his watch and whispered: "A distance of more than 700 meters, these guys have been away for an hour. I'm hungry when I waited."
