Chapter 2204: A Fortress I Have Never Seen
"Commander, we are blocked here. Without supplies, the cavalry regiment will soon be unable to hold on," said the deputy commander Joseph, riding a sheep to Lin Jiu's side.
He had seen the strength of the male sheep cavalry regiment led by Lin Jiu. Joseph's idea was to fight his way out of the encirclement of the Sand Flame Kingdom. Walking aimlessly in the desert like this was just a slow death.
You know, the Sand Flame Kingdom knew the existence of such a legion, and the defenders would definitely guard all the transit cities tightly. Their tens of thousands of cavalrymen fought in the wild and were not afraid of any legion, but it would be too difficult for them to attack the city.
During their siege, the surrounding defenders would definitely surround them and catch them all in one fell swoop. The Sand Flame Kingdom would naturally seize this weakness of theirs. Now they would no longer continue to chase them, shrink their forces, and then block their retreat, hoping to exhaust them to death in the desert.
They were the most elite warriors of the Kingdom of Peru, and the amount of food they needed to consume every day was very large. There are also rams for mounts, which need to eat raw meat every day, but in the current environment, let alone raw meat, even cacti can't be found much.
Lin Jiu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I have already prepared."
"Prepare?"
"Look..." Seeing that he had arrived near the destination, Lin Jiu motioned Joseph to look ahead.
Joseph picked up the telescope with doubts and looked over. Just by looking at it, he was shocked. What appeared in his sight was a fortress, a fortress without any records. Although the area is not large, it is more than enough as a transit.
And based on this architectural style, Joseph is sure that it is definitely not a new fortress built by the Sand Flame Country. They, Peru, are completely unaware of this.
"Commander, what is this?" Joseph knew that only Lin Jiu could tell him the answer.
"This is the place I had prepared before returning to Peru." Lin Jiu briefly explained that the real nest of the mechanical insect race was built on the underground mineral vein, and the fortress on the ground was a foothold built specifically for Lin Jiu.
With the Zerg's war potential, it is not too easy to build a fortress in a short time, not to mention the mechanical Zerg who are good at mechanical construction.
"Hiss~" Looking at this fortress with a completely new architectural style, Joseph couldn't help but take a deep breath after approaching. This kind of momentum has never been felt even in the Segona City Fortress in their Peruvian Kingdom. And this fortress seems to be equipped with weapons and equipment he has never seen before.
It is not the first time that Lin Jiu has seen a mechanical Zerg fortress, but the fortress he saw this time is more spectacular and complex than before. It is estimated that the extremely rich mineral resources under the desert have given Anna sufficient development potential.
This fortress is like an indestructible fortress, standing on the vast desert. Its overall structure is made of solid steel, showing a cold and majestic temperament. The appearance of the fortress presents a unique geometric beauty, with clear lines and prominent edges and corners, as if it was carved with the most sophisticated tools.
The walls of the fortress are thick and solid, and each piece of steel is closely connected and seamlessly connected, forming an indestructible line of defense. On the wall, countless radars and antennas are densely packed. They are like the eyes and ears of the fortress, always monitoring all the movements around.
On the top of the fortress, towering towers and turrets are staggered, like the sharp swords of the fortress, pointing straight to the sky. On the towers and turrets, cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns of various calibers are densely packed.
Under the same conditions, hot weapons wars are definitely more powerful than cold weapons. In the feudal dynasty, cavalry was rampant for thousands of years in the cold weapon era. When hot weapons appeared, they were soon eliminated.
The cold weapon battles in this world are not simple. The strength lies in the fact that all warriors have gray souls in their bodies, which give them powerful power. The power of general hot weapons is not enough to change everything, but the mechanical Zerg is different. The hot weapons they are equipped with come from the void. With suitable energy, it is not a problem to suppress the cavalry.
However, Lin Jiu knows that only his fortress is equipped with these hot weapons. The mechanical Zerg, except for the laser mechanical worms with long-range attack capabilities in the classification, the main body is still based on the worm sea tactics.
This involves the relationship of rate of return. With the same resources, the benefits of making thermal weapons and mechanical Zerg are naturally greater. Therefore, only in this fortress, some weapons are made for defense, and the mechanical Zerg itself is the sharpest "weapon".
After the fortress scanned and identified Lin Jiu, it automatically opened the door and let him go. This equipment, which had never been seen before, opened Joseph's eyes. Entering the fortress, you can see that the external defense facilities are very complete, but the internal construction is very simple because of the limited time.
It is completely a fortress surrounded by a circle of land, and the ground is a simple military camp. However, there is no shortage of various supplies, especially food, which are all extraordinary creatures hunted by mechanical Zerg in the desert. At the same time, when they mined minerals, they would encounter many extraordinary creatures underground, and now they are all sent here as food for Lin Jiu's legion.
The cavalry regiment, which has experienced many battles, can finally take a breath here and rest. Joseph had a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, but he was holding it back and didn't ask. His feelings are shared by most cavalry soldiers.
However, these people are more loyal to Lin Jiu, otherwise they would not be assigned to Lin Jiu by Spring Steel Sheep and then sent to the border battlefield. This is to prevent them from being scattered outside and causing any trouble.
While Lin Jiu was resting, Su Xiao had already set his sights on Segonna City, after all, the deadline was approaching. The previous Rongsha Battle had made Su Xiao famous in the Central Battlefield. If he could take over Segonna City, he would become famous. Su Xiao didn't care about his reputation, but he should be able to get a lot of support from the Tsar.
Segonna City is located behind the Central Battlefield, very close to the Kingdom of Peru. In fact, Segonna City is similar to the Rongsha Fortress, which is one of the important defense lines of the Peruvian side. Capturing this fortress and holding it is equivalent to kicking open the door of the Kingdom of Peru and stationing troops at the other side's doorstep.
From a distance, Segonna City looks like a majestic queen. The yellow-brown city wall is nearly 100 meters high, with rows of armor plates on it. The iron-black armor plates are full of downward barbs, each half a meter long, to prevent enemy soldiers from climbing up the city wall. The degree of construction of this fortress is not even inferior to the Gaoshan City of the Royal City.
The sound of shields knocking came from the city of Segona, and a large fireball was still in the sky. This was a signal of an attack. It would not be long before other dwarf troops stationed in the surrounding area would come to reinforce.
On the city wall, huge metal crossbows were placed side by side, and behind the city wall, hundreds of throwers were ready, and the black oil barrels on them could be ignited at any time.
The tips of the metal crossbow arrows on the city wall gleamed coldly in the sun. These giant crossbow arrows, more than five meters long, put great psychological pressure on the soldiers.
If they rushed directly, the dwarves' rounds of war weapons would bombard them. When they reached the bottom of the city wall, it would be good for 30,000 of Su Xiao's 70,000 soldiers to survive. He originally planned to use Apollo to open the way, but this was a choice after the alchemy dragon-making plan failed, and it was no longer necessary now.
It's decided to be you, go ahead! Black Dragon!
