Chapter 8 Chaos(1/2)
Out of the night and hiding in the day.
March and camp.
Haswarau is getting closer.
Haswarau is the largest city nearby.
There are two thousand-man teams and a large number of Kurt's local surrendered vassal troops in and around the city. The city is built with tall and strong, with complete city defense facilities, even when the orcs break through the city, they pay a considerable price.
However, these are relatively simple for Wang Fangping.
The power of the Death Knight's earth-based magical power can simplify the most complex siege. There is no need to lure the enemy out of the city, and there is no need to create siege tools, ants to climb the city. Prepare in advance and consume mana to directly open a path underground, so that the gods can come to the center to bloom without knowing it.
This is why Wang Fangping directly came to this city, otherwise it would be a joke to rely on less than a thousand sheepmen to attack the city.
Next, the closer you are to the town.
The concealment of Wang Fangping's army began to become a problem.
Any town is not isolated.
There are a large number of villages, manors, castles, etc. around the town. The land and grasslands have been developed and a large number of people work and grazing on them every day.
Camps can be disguised and covered.
The traces left by the marching of a large group of people are not allowed.
Once discovered and there is no city to rely on defense, Wang Fangping and the other two have the means or can escape, but the power accumulated at hand is gone. If you want to establish a force and establish a parish to attract a large number of missionaries, you don’t know when it will be when the knights and other personnel enter. In response, Wang Fangping chose to try to walk into more difficult places. There are few people coming on weekdays, and the risk of being discovered is greatly reduced. It is also called the Death Knight to open the way and wipe out some traces, and finally approach the Haswarau Fort.
After arriving, he was preparing for two days of rest and prepared an underground passage to enter the city in advance to investigate the specific defense situation in the city, important personnel, elite troops, food storage sites, arsenals, etc., and then launched a raid on the night two days later.
It's not going well if you don't think about it.
During the two days of rest, the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain heavily.
The terrain outside Haswarau is relatively low, and the soil below is soft and rich in groundwater. When heavy rain comes, the water volume everywhere gathers to soak large areas of land softer.
Such geological conditions make conventional tunnels impossible.
The authentic tunnels opened by the Death Knight are not only moist, soaked in water, and mud. The bigger problem is that the authentic tunnels will collapse at any time. In this way, they have to consume greater mana to open longer, deeper and less affected passages, and focus on "turning mud into stone" to reinforce many places.
Not only is the mana cost a lot, but the construction period is also extremely slow.
Fortunately, Wang Fangping has a special method of "replenishing demons". During the rest period, the sheep man also joined the "replenishing demons" team, so that the underground project can be carried out smoothly. Even so, it took a few days and only half of the passage was dug out. Judging from the frequent flying and rising and falling of the eagle man in the sky during the day, the search for orcs does not seem to be useless.
It is indeed possible to hide the eagle man when he is hiding during the day and out at night, but it is still impossible to hide the orcs if they send masters to sweep the floor.
It's just that Wang Fangping used magic to bury many traces and delayed the time of discovery.
A day later, Lux investigated the direction of the arrival and saw many centaur scouts spreading.
The atmosphere inside the city of Haswarau began to become tense. There were more guards on the city wall during the day, and scouts were sent from time to time to explore. At night, the torches on the city were bright, and the number of patrols increased significantly. The city was also making emergency arrangements. Various signs indicate that the orcs had roughly discovered or made some predictions based on intelligence.
This undoubtedly makes it more difficult to break the city, and it may be possible to fall head-on into your pocket. Based on the brand new situation, Wang Fangping had to make plans:
On the one hand, we continue to dig underground passages to prepare for siege.
On the other hand, the Death Knight further strengthened the camp and dug out a large number of defensive settings.
The focus is on the depths of the camp, and a section of groundwater flow was specially created to use hydraulic hydraulic satin hammers to fill Wang Fangping's "demon repair" room.
After all, sometimes the human power can provide relatively limited magic power by "brothers coming to cut me down". And when you really face the siege of a large number of orcs, you have to fight and have no time to replenish the demons for Wang Fangping. With this "replenishment room", the situation will be much better.
After two more days, the passage was finally dug almost. The dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, and the heavy rain for several days finally stopped. The sun shone again on the ground, but the atmosphere around suddenly relaxed inexplicably. This change surprised Wang Fangping, and he was a little confused about what kind of articles there was behind it.
He has not been in this world for a long time, but he has learned about the orcs' power and dares not look down on them at all.
To contempt is to commit oneself.
In such a world where mysterious power levels are not low but inactive, if you are accidentally surrounded and killed, you can't even escape. It's not just him and me who die.
At that time, all subsequent things in this time and space will be ruined.
Daluo Daoguo didn't know how long it took.
In his opinion, the orc's sudden relaxation was mostly loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it was loose for enemies like him to see him? I deliberately gave him a chance to jump out, or used this as a cover for other targeted mobilizations? Could it be that the orc has discovered that his camp is organizing military forces to lure the enemy first? If he can lure out, he can't attack, and then he will rush to him soon?
Wang Fangping kept his troops and secretly strengthened his vigilance, made all the worst plans, used spells to observe every day and sent Lux and the Death Knight to cooperate to explore the information in the city for a better response.
I also feel my shortcomings.
Since traveling to Pangu's time and space, he has gained powerful power with his innate Yuanyang White Tiger in his heart in a short period of time, and soon became an immortal god and reached his current level. Perhaps he has been extremely in-depth in the use and understanding of extraordinary power, but once extraordinary power is not enough, many ability defects will be revealed.
In a sense.
Such exposure is also a kind of tempering for oneself.
Daluo Daoguo will be merged with countless him and me.
I really don’t know what I will become after the fruit of the Tao after countless experiences and countless trials.
For the current situation.
Wang Fangping has no better way.
I didn't dare to slap my head randomly.
You can only be cautious in making various preparations and try to make fewer mistakes.
War is full of fog for both sides. If you cannot completely break the fog, the overall strength will be stronger and the person who makes fewer mistakes will win.
Even if you may lose some opportunities with such caution, it is better than failure and annihilation of the entire army and the death of yourself.
That's how it passed a few more days.
It seems that the city has really relaxed?
According to Lux's return.
It is reported that the orcs' garrison left behind the Kurt Grasslands and took the initiative to attack in the West to achieve a great victory. Then, after the main force of the Orcs' Western Expedition Army returned to the east, the Khanate established by Prince Ogedei in the East recently organized a new affiliated army with a number of over 100,000 strength to arrive at the Kurt Grasslands and met with a part of the left-behind garrison.
The pressure on the orcs in the Kurt Grassland dropped sharply.
Along with these, many remnants of Kurt nobles in various places were wiped out, and many "small things" of people who relied on their extraordinary individual strength were surrounded and killed in the Kurt Kingdom.
Then came bigger news.
The Duchy of Ross, which was in the northwest of the Kurt Grassland, suffered heavy losses in the orcs' Western Expedition, forced the might of the orcs to reorganize the Western Expedition Legion to surrender to the orcs' Kurt Legion?
In a very short time.
The orcs who returned from the main force seemed to have saved the situation again?
After getting these messages.
Wang Fangping had some doubts whether it was correct to seize the opportunity to rob the matter when the situation was unclear at this time.
Is Haswarau still attacking?
Or just retreat and leave the Kurt Prairie?
He hesitated for a day.
He decided to leave.
If the orc really sits firmly on the Kurt Grassland, he will have no room for taking advantage of the chaos and taking advantage of the situation.
It is no longer suitable for development here.
It’s better to stop when you see it is better.
Seven or eight hundred fully armed sheepmen could not cause any storm in the Kurt Grassland, and they were still very important to put in many other places.
But it was the night when Wang Fangping decided to leave.
At midnight.
There was a sudden fire inside Haswarau, and the flames burned red half of the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard outside the city.
"Uncle the Crown." Lux found a high point and looked into the city: "The area where the fire burns is the grain warehouse in the city."
"The people who are in trouble in the city have been planning for a long time, seeing the fire."
Wang Fangping nodded.
A magical pupil condensed on his head, collecting a large number of lights and shadows in a radius of more than ten miles, turning them into a light and shadow model to reappear in front of him.
Observe a little.
"It seems that the orcs are not unprepared."
"The areas where the flames burn are obviously separated and cannot continue to spread, and the so-called food in the grain warehouse may not be real."
"The rioters burned the grain warehouses obviously to cause chaos and then achieve their goals in other directions."
"Their purpose now seems to be a failure."
He magnified the light and shadow of the place where he shouted.
On some blurry light and shadow models, the light and shadow of orcs and bull-headed sergeants are squeezing and besieging large groups of humans, with centaur archers everywhere around, and many high points and excellent city defense crossbow tools are constantly killing the rioters.
Humans who cause trouble are not good at turmoil.
It has at least two legendary first-class combat power.
