"Crunch...!"
The city gate made a slight sound.
Many Wuhun Empire cavalry rode in quickly. This time, everyone didn't lower their voices, and of course they didn't shout loudly. Instead, they rushed into the city quickly, rushing towards the military buildings in the fortress and the city wall on the other side...
After a while, all the [-] cavalry from the Wuhun Empire entered, and everyone easily wiped out all the Star Luo Empire defenders guarding the city.
Meng De asked many soldiers to go to the permanent barracks of the fortress to place horses and place items, and then walked to the north-facing city wall, which was in the direction of Longxing City, and looked ahead.
In front of the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress is a flat open space. On the left, you can see the lush and lush Star Dou Forest in the distance, and on the right is the towering Tianling Mountains.
Although the open space in front was flat, it was narrow and long from Meng De's perspective. If hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in front, they would not be able to fully deploy.
It's a good place to fight.
The corner of Meng De's mouth curled up a little.
Next, he divided the soldiers who settled their items and horses into two groups, and one group went to expand the airport at the Haagen-Dazs Pass.
The Haagen-Dazs Pass originally belonged to the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, that is, the Wuhun Empire. An airport was naturally built here. Of course, it was originally used to transport goods.
Mengde is now expanding, just to allow it to park the White Eagle 36 heavy bomber.
The White Eagle 36 heavy bomber has a large size and a heavy load. It can not only be used to bomb cluster targets, but also can be used to transport a large amount of military supplies and be used as a transport aircraft.
Meng De has just arrived at the Haagen-Dazs Pass, and food, artillery, and arrows are in urgent need of replenishment.
As for the remaining group of soldiers, Meng De issued an order to let them go out of the city and build fortifications in the north.
With hot weapons and artillery, the role of the city wall is greatly weakened, not for the attacker, but for the defender.
First of all, the artillery is heavy, and it is very difficult to carry it up the city wall. Although there are many powerful soul masters in Douluo Continent, powerful soul masters will go to the battlefield. How many powerful soul masters will stay by the artillery all the time?
In addition, the location of the city wall is narrow, and if the artillery wants to kill the enemy as much as possible, it needs a wider attack surface, and the adjacent artillery positions also need to be spaced apart, so that the advantages of the artillery can be more effectively utilized, and at the same time It can avoid being taken over by others.
On the city wall, Meng De got down from the city wall after giving orders, and went out of the city in person to supervise the work and make reasonable commands at the same time.
He stood in front of many soldiers and pointed to his feet.
"Everyone digs at this location, extending from west to east. The width at the top is 1.2 meters, the depth is [-] meters, and the width at the bottom is [-] centimeters. The excavated soil is uniformly piled to the north."
"Yes!"
Many soldiers responded, and then each bent down and waved their shovels.
Outside the city wall, the sound of the shovel touching the soil continued to resound, and piles of soil flew out and were piled up on the side facing Longxing City to the north...
Several hours later, at about nine o'clock in the morning, the light cavalrymen under Mengde finally dug the fortifications with engineering shovels.
If there are traversers here, they will definitely exclaim, isn't this a trench?
Trenches are the product of modern firearms warfare. Because of the emergence of firearms, the city wall will not only fail to defend, but will become a burden, and it will also become a key target for enemy artillery and bombers.
In addition, as mentioned earlier, the position of the city wall is fixed, and the space for maneuvering is narrow. If a shell falls, it may be destroyed.
Various reasons led to the emergence of trenches.
And what Meng De led his troops to dig now was the standard trench of the Blue Star textbook.
Of course, this was actually ordered by Qian Nawei. Qian Nawei is familiar with all kinds of books and has a lot of knowledge about trenches. He ordered it in advance when Meng De led his army around and attacked the fortress of Haagen-Dazs Pass .
The Haagen-Dazs Pass fortress is outside the wall, and the dug trenches are winding, a bit like a wavy line, and a bit like a sawtooth.
Among them, there are more than one trench, and there are three from front to back, and each horizontal trench is connected by a traffic trench in the shape of "Xun".
It is a shape similar to the > sign!
Between each trench, there are some sections that are significantly higher than the others, and there are sandbags piled on them.
This is used to place artillery. The artillery is heavy and cannot be placed directly into the trench, otherwise it will not be able to move, and only a section of the trench can be piled up.
Under the cannon is a very neat wooden frame and steel frame to bear the weight of the cannon.
Under the wooden and steel frames, there are trenches dug through, which can be used not only for soldiers to pass through, but also for avoiding enemy projectile weapons, killing three birds with one stone.
The trench fortifications had been dug, and the sky was already very bright. Meng De took a look, said "let's call it a day", and walked back to the city with many soldiers.
Entering the city, Mengde came to a breakfast shop to have breakfast.
The long-distance travel for many days had almost consumed the flour of Meng De and the soldiers he led, so he had to buy breakfast for the residents in the fortress city.
There are also ordinary residents in the Haagen-Dazs Pass Fortress, and there are civilians in the city. This is a characteristic of the cold weapon era.
Inside the shop, a boss was standing in front of a big iron box, making breakfast.
From Meng De's point of view, he could see that the iron box seemed to be made into a drawer shape, with three flat drawers, and the boiling water underneath was constantly steaming.
Next to the boss, there is a large bucket of white rice milk. The boss holds a spoon in his right hand, and pulls out the iron box drawer with his left hand, scoops a spoonful of rice milk in the drawer, and shakes it well.
After shaking well, the boss stuffed the drawer back into the original iron box and steamed it with the scalding steam below.
This is the first time Meng De has seen this kind of breakfast, and there is no such breakfast in the north of the central part of the Wuhun Empire.
He was very curious, pointed and asked, "Boss, what's your breakfast?"
The boss smiled and replied, "Intestine powder."
After answering, the boss asked Meng De, "General, what rice rolls do you want?"
"There are also different types?"
Meng De was very surprised.
"Yes, look over there to order."
As the boss spoke, he raised his chin towards the wall.
Meng De looked at the wall in the direction of the boss's chin, and saw a sign hanging on it, which stated the types and prices of rice rolls.
Among them, four copper coins for egg sausage, five copper coins for lean meat sausage, six copper coins for egg and meat sausage, six copper coins for beef sausage, one copper plate for egg, one copper plate for bottom, two copper plates for lean meat, and three copper plates for beef sausage. a copper plate.
After reading it, Mengde pointed to the signboard.
"Boss, bring me an egg and meat sausage, with eggs and base."
"Okay, wait a minute."
The boss responded, and then started making.While making it, he tentatively asked Meng De.
"General, you look very unfamiliar, are you from the Spirit Empire?"
People who make breakfast get up very early, and the owner of the sausage noodle shop is no exception.Just a long time ago, he found that there were many more soldiers on the street.
Moreover, these soldiers were not wearing the full-body refined iron plate armor of the previous Star Luo Empire army, but were wearing civilian clothes.
No armor at all!
On the chest of each soldier, there is a gold silk seraph pattern embroidered, which is lifelike and shining.
The boss knew that the symbol of the Wuhun Empire was an angel, so he immediately thought of the Wuhun Empire's military.
Inside the shop, Meng De nodded with a smile on his face.
"Yes, boss, we are the army of the Wuhun Empire, and captured this city yesterday."
What will you do next?
Meng De waited for the boss's answer.
Meng De has already decided that if the boss is inclined to the Wuhun Empire, he will do nothing.
And if this boss is inclined to the Star Luo Empire, he will kill him on the spot, killing others as an example to avoid future troubles!
Meng De is not a good person, he can help and take care of his own people enthusiastically, just like a warm big brother.
But for the enemy, he will never be soft-hearted, even if he wants to massacre the city, he can do it!
City massacre is a frightening word. Since ancient times, city massacre has been an extremely frightening thing. Many famous figures in history, as well as modern wars, have massacred cities.
When Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Qin Huang, Yuan Meng, and Japan invaded China, there were massacres.
In fact, Mengde's martial spirit is inherited from Celtic Mythology's Son of Light, Sertanti, and the famous weapon in Sertanti's hand is Gaborga's cursed magic gun!
As a well-known legendary figure in Europe, apart from being called "Kulin's Bulldog", his other deeds are even more famous and frightening!
The most famous event is that Setanti created the "Six Massacre" tragedy that shocked the whole world. The six massacres killed a total of nearly ten million people, including countless civilians, women, and children.
What's even more frightening is that these were not done by Setanti and his army, but by himself!
According to historical legends, wherever the scarlet magic gun went, the people all ran for their lives, and they were all invincible.
In terms of murderous aura, Meng De's murderous aura is no less than that of Qian Fei'er, even on par!
Therefore, Meng De never thinks that he is a good person, let alone admits that he is a kind-hearted old man.
In the store, the boss got Meng De's affirmation and immediately showed his attitude.
He suddenly turned to Meng De, his face full of surprise.
"Oh, General, you are finally here, we have been waiting so hard!"
"Huh? Did something happen?"
Meng De was a little puzzled.
The boss nodded and told what happened these days.
It turns out that ever since the Star Luo Empire captured the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, it has been adopting a high-handed control policy on the residents of the kingdom, not only oppressing, but also exploiting!
Within the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, all residents were ordered to sell grain to the Star Luo Empire.
Originally, selling grain can be exchanged for money, and it is not impossible.
However, the army of the Star Luo Empire was very tyrannical and forcibly bought the rice at the price of one copper plate and three catties.
