Heart of Empire Chapter 454: Strong artillery formation

A war with Earl Bull on the border between Florence and Schindler is not what Dane wants to see. In this battle, if you lose it, you will be finished, and if you win it, there is no benefit, so why do you need to fight?

Dane is an out-and-out pragmatist, he is not willing to do such a meaningless thing.

And this war, if you want to avoid it, then the only way is to take down the barren land pass as quickly as possible, cut off the idea of ​​Earl Bull to come to support, and also show it in this way One's own muscles, in order to achieve the purpose of being able to defeat others without fighting.

In a frontal attack, if there is no special assistance, it will take a lot of money to take down the city on the opposite side. Moreover, after the enemy has made preparations to strictly guard against the deadly defense, it does not know how long it will take to defeat it. If there was any accident in the middle, so that they lasted until Earl Bull's reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, then Dane would have to really fall into the worst situation.

At that time, in the desert, Dane will have to maintain a supply line hundreds of kilometers away, and people will sit in the barren pass with a complete supply system, waiting for work, and this war will become very difficult to fight .

It was precisely because of these considerations that Dane pinned part of his hopes on those black-handed spies.

The one who contacted Dane in the end was not Firmino, but the 'mask' of the underground world far away on Comilla Island.

The spy leader, after learning about the lord's expectations, solemnly used the power of spells, hoping to meet with Dane to discuss this matter.

Of course she can't make it through, so Dane can only go to Chateau Lai through teleportation.

For Dane now, as long as he is not carrying a large number of troops to teleport, the empire points he needs to spend for teleportation by himself are no longer in his eyes.

Now he really can pass on whatever he wants.

He could be on the tree of eternity in Aurinadu, in his exclusive palace, watching the elf girls dance while drinking morning tea.

Back to White Wolf Castle at noon, sit on the top of the castle with a height of hundreds of meters, look at the majestic city in the wind and sand, and eat a piece of fresh deep-sea cod steak transported from Shawan Port.

In the evening, go to Shaduolai again, holding the enchanting drow girl in her arms, resting her head on the stalwart chest of the mistress of the Dark Star family, Mirshapu, eating those enchanting drows. We served dinner mouth to mouth.

Presumably, even in the core of human society, those great lords, it is difficult to have such enjoyment, right?

Of course, Dane will not fall for the luxurious life.

When it's time to enjoy, as a lord, as the governor of the whole territory of Schindler, he can't treat himself badly. But when it's time to work hard, when it's time to continue to develop and expand with your own subjects, you must not relax.

…

Dyne and the mask discussed for a long time about how the spies who had lurked in the barren land pass would cooperate with the army's offensive. When the two discussed a finalized plan, and Dane returned to his army, almost half a day had passed.

At this time, the entire army has already entered the barren land pass.

Dain was in no rush to attack. An Anxin arranged the army three or four kilometers away from the barren land pass, and then launched the artillery formation, and sent thousands of people to guard behind the artillery position.

Then, he allowed his artillery formation to confront the bed crossbows and artillery above the barren land pass.

The town of Waste Land Pass is not that big. From the perspective of the size of the entire city, it is difficult to accommodate more than 15,000 people.

This must be a small number. You know, the Rotten Wolf Town back then, counting the floating population that could accommodate it, at its peak it could accommodate more than 10,000 people.

However, although the size of the city is not considered large, the reason why it can be called a 'pass' means that its defensive strength must be adequate.

That's exactly what happened. When Im built the 'Desolate Pass' back then, his purpose was to build a strong enough fortress—this came from the deep uneasiness in his heart, and he knew that he would be a chokehold here. Schindler's big hand on the throat, it will definitely bring the envy of many people early. Without a solid fortress, how can he guarantee his wealth?

In the past years, Im also experienced many challenges. Dane is not the first person who wants to control the wasteland pass into his own hands. In Im's view, there have been many such people in the past. Even the earlier Governor Bernier once had his idea.

But they all failed later.

The Florentines standing behind Im are of course the main reason. But among them, there is no credit for the barren land pass itself.

The city wall is tall, and the thickness and strength of the city wall are also very powerful. It cannot be broken easily~IndoMTL.com~ And on the city wall, there are bed crossbows, fixed trebuchets, and city defense cannons. Equipment is also available.

And there are not a few of them.

As for Dane's artillery formation, since it was established back then, it has grown step by step with the growth of his power. From the beginning of the artillery formation, there were only a few artillery pieces of Miaomiao, and later, when there were more than a dozen artillery pieces, they could finally be arranged in an array.

And up to now, Dane's artillery formation already has a full sixty groups!

The competition between the long-range and heavy firepower between the two sides is really like meeting opponents and meeting talents.

Dain's artillery formations are larger and their firepower is stronger; as for the barren land pass, although there is still a slight difference in firepower, they have walls and battlements as cover, and they are also condescending. Conditions can also obviously make up for part of the firepower gap.

Five or six hundred soldiers, operating more than 60 artillery pieces, fired shells one after another at the yellow city in the wind and sand at a distance of a thousand meters from the barren land pass. And the defenders on the city wall refused to show weakness at all. The burning boulders were thrown out, and the huge crossbow bolts that came with the sound of "swish swish" piercing the air also hit Dane's artillery. Groups caused a certain amount of trouble.

The confrontation between the two sides was extremely lively.
