249. March
Blue River.
The famous border river within the Duchy of Sheen.
The average width is more than 300 meters, the river water is relatively flat, and disasters rarely occur.
From November to December every year, the river freezes and can be used for people to walk.
At this time, the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have the opportunity to have extensive exchanges.
Just a wide river is separated from each other, it seems to separate the worlds on both sides.
Except for businessmen, no one will go to the other side for no reason to do it.
Although they belong to the same country in name, they have the meaning of not interacting with each other until they die.
The ships of this era were too simple and the cost of crossing the river was extremely high.
It was not until the steam ship in Fulin Castle appeared that the status quo gradually changed.
"Have you heard of it? On the south bank, the undead are making a big fuss, and many people in the village are dead."
"There is no plague?"
"It shouldn't be. The plague is hard to spread to us, and you don't see how cold we are here."
Two guards patrolling the Blue River were watching the people walking carefully from the ice of the Blue River.
The ice surface is very slippery, and it will fall and look ugly if you are not careful.
The consul of Wanghai City asked someone to arrange for meadows to be placed on the ice.
Originally, they were very opposed to the people on the other side coming here for no reason, but Donggang City urgently needed a population.
Under the orders of the lord, not only do they need to be released, but they also need to provide convenience for immigrants as much as possible.
"Jesse, someone fell heavily over there. Let's go and help."
"oh."
The free collar on the north bank of the Blue River is calm.
It was not affected by the war at all, but it was meaningless to benefit from it.
The most intuitive manifestation is the increase in the number of immigrants.
As of the end of November, the total population of Donggang City exceeded 150,000.
A large number of people have entered, allowing all walks of life to quickly enrich and the efficiency has increased sharply.
The laying of train tracks completed the first phase, reaching Fulin Castle from the port, with a total length of 3.2 kilometers. The second phase is expected to arrive in Hunter Town, with a length of 5.7 kilometers.
Lodell sat in the lord's position and read the documents in his hand carefully.
She has been paying attention to the matters in Chenguang City.
The situation is subtle now...
The enemy did not retreat, but instead increased its troops and intended to launch a general attack?
Lodell was a little worried about Zoe's current situation. Out of war, she recruited a large number of new soldiers.
Including the 1,000 people Zoe took away, the total force reached 5,000!
The third-generation rifle has upgraded its ability to shoot continuously and the actual combat power of the corps, and has undergone a qualitative leap in its qualitative change.
But even so, it still cannot bring enough security.
"If you increase your troops desperately, the number of guard regiments can be increased to more than 10,000, but that will affect the development of the city..."
The recruitment ratio of fifteen to one made Lodell hesitate.
In fact, the number of 30 to 1 is enough now. In other words, Donggang City can afford so many full-time soldiers, and its economic development will not be greatly affected...
"Why! At such a critical moment, both the most important people are in seclusion?" Lodell looked depressed.
Beside her, her daughter wielding a wooden sword, smiled without knowing her sorrow.
"Mom, I want to ride a dragon..."
"No, you're too fat."
"Woo..."
After a month of night city, a battle finally came.
"Report! Three kilometers west of the city, a large number of enemy troops appeared."
"Report! Five miles south of the city, there are movements of enemy troops."
"Reported that the supply line in the east of the city was cut off by the enemy Xunlong cavalry unit..."
The classic method of circumventing three and missing one leaves the escape road north of the city, and the morale of the army in the city is shocked.
A meeting was held urgently in the Governor's Hall.
Zoe was pushed to the main position again because of his record: "My commanders, please be sure to remain calm. With the current weather conditions, this will definitely be the last attack of the enemy."
"That's right!" Frost Sword Saint Cotton agreed.
After a period of accumulation, reinforcements from each city arrived one after another, and the number of troops in Yebu City exceeded 50,000 for the first time. Gathering the elites of each city is already a force that cannot be ignored.
A total of ten limit breakers have arrived.
Except for the free-spirited people, all the people who break the limit are the older generation, and their strength is far higher than that of young people.
Another famous sacred land powerhouse in the southern border of the Principality came.
Crazy Sand Sword Saint!
This person's strength is even worse than that of the Ice Sword Saint Codon. The energy with the dual attributes of Awakening Earth and Wind attributes is much stronger in actual combat power than the same level.
At the same time, it has the speed of the wind attribute and the defense of the earth attribute. Even after combining the two, the force can be temporarily floating.
"Now we are still waiting to hold on the spot? Do we need to break through or do something?" The Saint of Crazy Sand Sword Prassa hugged her arms.
She is a strong woman with a height of two meters, with a strong figure, giving people a sense of visual oppression. She has loose hair and a free and unrestrained temperament.
"Defend first! Wait for the reaction from Morning Light City." Zoe's thoughts were consistent with most people.
The city has abundant food and can last until next summer.
In the afternoon of that day, Shadow Mage Vic heard news that Morning Light City needed support.
The original saying is that the enemy attacked the city wall, and Duke Dai Fen tried hard to deal with the five legendary powerful men, and the situation was critical.
"Entertain! Take down Qijiao Town first!" Zoe made a decision immediately.
Without quarreling with the remaining reinforcements, she took away three thousand soldiers and horses under her free command.
He quickly approached the enemy's camp outside the city. After a series of gunfires, the enemy army was defeated and the camp at the level of ten thousand people changed hands.
The news of victory was soon passed back to Yebu City. Seeing the army led by Freedom advance so smoothly, the wind began to change.
The guards and the commanders of the attacking faction sent their respective men to follow.
Qijiao Town!
Located on a hill that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zoe looked at the flying flags of the coalition forces from afar through his telescope.
This is a strategic location and also a retreat for Chenguang City.
She believed that there must be strong enemy forces in the city, at least in the holy realm!
"Attack! Everyone disperse a little, the sharpshooter is ready!"
The sound of pulling the bolts in unison was that the range of the catapult on the city wall was about 500 meters, and the effective range of the rifle was above the catapult.
The attack began to be launched more than 700 meters away.
Mainly the Sharpshooter Team!
These people are rare geniuses, with an extraordinary gun feel, and can ensure a certain degree of accuracy with the calibration of the iron ring sight.
After a round of attacks, the enemy soldiers on the city wall screamed.
Many people didn't react. It was incredible that they were hit by the enemy's weapons even before the range of the trencher was reached.
The second round of strikes followed.
Since then, no one dared to show his head on the city wall again.
Under the cover of the sharpshooter, the vanguard troops quickly approached the city gate.
Chapter completed!
