Chapter 551 Flooded

Because there was noise all around during the siege, the undead who were charging on the battlefield did not hear any changes in the surrounding mountains. At this time, it happened to be another wave of general attack, and most of the undead were used under the city wall. This time, the undead army bet on 70% of the total force, firmly surrounded the three walls, and focused on the weakest human forces. , in order to break through the city wall through the suppression of troops.

The undead leader of the attacking side is called Custer, who is a confidant of Augustine's faction and an official member of the parliament with the title of earl. Custer felt that the task of "suppressing the rebel troops" could be completed with his eyes closed. After all, the 20,000 people accounted for almost half of the current assembled troops in the Tasman, and counting the summoned undead creatures, the total number of troops exceeded 100,000. It is easy to deal with the castle in front of you.

After the pursuit all the way, Custer has thoroughly figured out the opponent's details. Seeing that the other party hid in Fort Tractor, he was so happy that he wanted to applaud the other party because he knew very well that these humans had entered a dead end, and within three days, the task of exterminating the "rebel army" would naturally be successfully completed!

"Master Custer, there is a breakthrough in the main attack on the western city wall!"

The following information came over, making the pale-faced earl's mouth rise a little, and he waved his hand: "This group of guys is only capable of this, leave two reserve teams, and press all the others! I want to See His Majesty's banner on the tower before dark."

"Obey! My lord!"

The army that had been standing still began to divide into teams, all rushing towards the damaged west city wall. At this time, many trebuchets on the city wall had been damaged due to continuous fighting, and they were disturbed by the continuous success of the skeleton soldiers climbing up the city wall. Overwhelming the defense of the defenders, the defensive pressure of Kulka and others has approached the limit.

So far, there were only about 3,000 troops left by Custer's side, and almost all the accompanying mages and elites piled up on the front line in this finalized general attack. The necromancer's "acid poison arrow", "venomous fog" and other spells immediately made the defense of the city wall even worse, and the city wall was about to fall completely...

It was at this time that Custer suddenly felt that the mountains in the distance seemed strange.

He had heard the muffled sound just now, but because he was in front of the battlefield, he couldn't hear it clearly. Custer just thought it was thunder. But as time went on, there seemed to be some dissonant noises in the wind that kept reaching the ears. Looking far away, he found that there seemed to be landslides in several places on the surrounding mountains. The trees on the mountainside were shaking, and some even began to break and disappear.

Speaking of it, it is very common for Tasman to experience landslides due to two years of rain. After the soil is saturated with water for a long time, it will move and slide, as long as anyone who has been in the mountains will encounter it. Castor frowned and looked at it, but he didn't think there was any major problem in his heart, so he turned his head and continued to focus on the city wall.

At this time, most of the entire west city wall was occupied by skeleton soldiers.

Although the figures of the human soldiers tried their best to rush over from the corridor, their lack of combat power obviously gradually fell into a disadvantage. In the end, Kulka could even see the figure of Kulka leading the guards up to fight...

"Why are you still struggling at this time? It's ridiculous."

Custer felt that the general situation was settled, so he no longer stared at the distant city wall, but when he looked to one side, he suddenly frowned. At the foot of the mountain at the end of his vision, there seemed to be something shaking.

His profession is "Death Knight" and he doesn't know how to use spells, so he called the mage's adjutant beside him and said, "What's that over there? Detect it."

The adjutant cast the spell as he said, and replied hesitantly after careful observation: "Is...it seems to be water? I remember that there is no river here."

"water?"

Custer was stunned when he heard this. As a commander, he was very aware of the surrounding terrain: the basin surrounded by mountains on three sides did not have any rivers at all, and the largest river passed through the center of the mountain 40 to 50 kilometers away. The flood will not come here either.

"Uh, Lord Custer, there is a possibility that this will happen." The adjutant pointed to the halfway up the mountain and said, "Sometimes a barrier lake will be formed on the hillside due to the change of terrain, other lakes, rivers or accumulated rainwater After reaching the critical point, the water may overflow, or burst out of the embankment..."

This situation has happened to Tasman before, so the adjutant said it clearly. But Custer's complexion became more and more strange. He looked left and right, and his eyes quickly locked on the mountainsides of the "landslides" that he had ignored before. When he looked over at this time, there were already collapsed holes in the mountains. The original tall trees were washed out by the water into a "river channel" tens of meters wide!

And there are five such "river courses" at a glance!

While talking, both Custer and the adjutant saw the floods pouring from several other rivers appear in the field of vision. The land of Tasman has been scoured by rainwater for a long time, and now it is difficult to absorb any water, so the flood that rushed down from the mountain quickly Spreading and converging, they soon formed a line in the distance of vision!

Everyone knows the principle of "water flows downhill", and Custer is no exception. His eyes turned from a distance to where he was, and he looked at Fort Tractor, which was at the lowest point in front of him. Trembling and cursing: "Damn it! Withdraw the army! Withdraw the army!"

He predicted a very terrible result: if he didn't dodge, the attacking army might be completely submerged by the sudden flood!

Although there were many soldiers attacking the city, more than 90% of them were under the city wall, and the bottom of the city wall was the lowest point of the entire terrain. When the flood came, tens of thousands of siege soldiers would definitely suffer immediately. Not only that, even Custer himself, who is not far from the castle at this time, is in danger!

He made a decisive decision, and immediately sent people to inform the attacking troops to retreat, and at the same time, he rushed back with the remaining troops.

On the outskirts of the battlefield, some troops had already encountered the water flow. The cavalry units after the charge of the "awakened ones" were relatively far away, and they happened to be rushed by the first wave of water before the flood had fully converged. However, the flood at this time was no higher than a horseshoe, so the team was still able to barely move to the side despite struggling.

However, the floods coming from five directions converged after approaching each other. The water flow became bigger and faster, and when it reached the front of Fort Trak, a large group of undead soldiers were washed away on the spot!

Custer escaped unharmed because he was not in the path of the water flow. He led the guards and ran to the distance. After the surrounding area was safe, he looked back at the army that had just started to retreat, and his lips trembled involuntarily. : "Who did this... who did it..."

He had to admit a fact: I am afraid that all of his main force will be finished!

The transmission of military orders in this era is very slow. It takes even half an hour for all 60,000 to 70,000 troops to receive the order from riding a horse to inform them. So when the floods from the five barrier lakes came, of the entire undead army, except Custer's 3,000 troops, only less than 1,000 people managed to escape because their positions avoided the water flow.

The remaining troops were swept, washed, and submerged by the rushing flood on the spot.

The seemingly slow-moving flood actually carried enormous power. No matter how strong the soldiers' physical fitness was or how skilled the mage's spells were, they couldn't last a few minutes in front of this natural power. However, the troops climbing the city wall couldn't go up or down, and when the morale of the guarding soldiers was boosted, they were suddenly hit by a wave of charges and fell down...

"We... this, this is the win?"

Standing on the city wall covered in blood, Kulka gasped heavily. His hand holding the sword trembled from the loss of strength. There were still blood from several wounds on his body, but all the pain was nothing compared to the scene in front of him. He was shocked: Tens of thousands of undead were completely submerged by the black flood, and there were struggling figures in the continuously gathering dirty water, but as the water level gradually rose, those struggling figures gradually disappeared under the surging waves of the undercurrent movement.

The undead are not possessing unlimited physical strength, wearing a suit of armor and struggling in the flood. No one can survive this cruel baptism from nature.

On the other side of the city wall, Dasco, wearing a hood, exhaled slowly. At this moment, he was really convinced by Rody: In his perception, "war" has always been fought by manpower He won, but right now Rody directly slaughtered tens of thousands of undead army with a "natural disaster"!

The planning, calculation and execution behind this made Dasco feel deep fear.

He raised his head and looked at Kulka's gaze from afar. The two had the same thought in their hearts: Never be an enemy of such a guy...

*****

"How did you do this? How do you know that these five barrier lakes can be flooded? How do you know that those undead can deploy an army here? The breach of the barrier lake cannot be achieved by simple blasting How can you make sure that all five explode?"

Kardashian tried her best not to change the tone of her voice, but these many questions clearly told others that she was "shocked" by the fact that no matter how powerful the Dragon Clan is, it would be foolish to want to directly destroy an army of 70,000 to 80,000. I am afraid that only the Dragon Clan The lord could achieve a similar effect by using a forbidden spell that chanted for several hours, but this lowly human being in front of him sentenced the army of undead to death while talking and laughing!

To do something that is difficult for the dragons, with Luo Di's move today, his status in the eyes of the three dragons immediately rose a lot. Although it is impossible to be "equal", when he speaks again, the right to speak is already in the Unknowingly, there has been a significant improvement.

"I started to detect suitable barrier lakes a few months ago. Not only these five barrier lakes have burst their banks, but there are six places where the Tasman is suitable for this tactic. There are a few places where the effect may be better. It can even be said...if these undead don't come over, I still have a way to let the water directly flood Aldermantheus."

Roddy smiled and replied: "As for how to break the embankment of the barrier lake... Actually, I used the 'sinking formation' that the high elves used to 'lay the foundation'. It made the embankment of the barrier lake burst." The soil structure is loosened and then blasted, so that there will be enough water discharge."

In fact, Luo Di has been hanging in his mind. The reason why he thought of this trick is because there was an old incident in history that "the barrier lake burst and flooded the undead army camp". This kind of thing happened at the beginning because the undead ignored the danger of the barrier lake, but now... Roddy directly used the method of forcibly breaking the embankment, causing the Tasman undead to pay an unprecedented painful price!

The Seventh Army was flooded and the company camp was burned. The simple trick had an unexpected effect, and Rody was naturally excited, but what excited him even more was the thousands of pages of experience records in the battle record column.
