Chapter 843

For the withdrawal of the coalition, Nie Wuji, as the commander of the zombie legion, naturally saw it clearly. No matter how the side of the kill without Philippines doubt, Nie Wuji this time all iron heart, hold still! Why? Just one battle, an encounter with the Allied forces of mankind, ended in a hasty way when few enemies were hurt and one million troops were lost! This is a shame for Nie Wuji!

Although the result was satisfactory, the zombie army smoothly rushed out of the tushen tuyere, steadily occupied the area at the foot of the circular mountain, and basically completed the most basic task assigned by tianfujun before the war, but it was beaten by Cao Ke, and finally let Cao Ke retreat, which made Nie Wuji secretly make up his mind, That is to use Cao Ke's head and the lives of all living creatures to commemorate the glory of his own military God, so that he can climb the highest peak of military command and the altar of honor again!

However, Nie Wuji's ideal is just an ideal after all! Smart as he, of course, understand that if you want to achieve the ideal, you must work step by step! As before, the coalition won the first victory with high morale and the help of mysterious experts from heaven. Most of the zombie troops are still in the process of rushing down the crater through the tushen tuyere. If Nie wujimao rashly launched the pursuit of the coalition, it would be easy for the coalition to ambush and plot. On the other hand, it would also cause the whole zombie army to be out of touch, Increased the possibility of being encircled and suppressed separately by the enemy! Nie Wuji is not the kind of person who can tolerate his defeat again and again. He will not agree with such a thing even if he dies!

In the face of Nie Wuji's insistence, there is no way to kill wufei. After all, she is just a nominal supervisor.

In this way, Cao Ke and the Allied forces retreated under the eyes of the zombie army! When he could no longer see the shadow of the zombie legion, Cao Ke ordered the coalition to speed up the March and go straight to the nearest fortress to the crater.

The fortress they are going to is tongchui pass, which is known as the first pass in the north of dwarves! At the beginning, when the dwarfs were attacked by the dragon clan led by Nai osletta, it was with the help of tongchui pass that they miraculously held on for a week, holding back the pace of the wind dragon clan who was in charge of the northern strategy of the mainland of sirmir at that time, and almost writing about other races except human and elves, The most gorgeous poem fighting with the dragon!

As time goes by, the dwarf Kingdom no longer exists, and tongchui pass has become a ruin!

A few months ago, TSOK had foreseen the outcome of the Allied campaign at the foot of the crater. In any case, the foot of the ring mountain is not a very suitable place for defense. In addition to the dense woods, there is a flat plain. If the strength of the warring parties is equal, it's good to say that once one of them has a disadvantage in strength, the area near the foot of the ring mountain is not a suitable battlefield for the weak party!

"Guard against danger"! This is a march rule that everyone knows! Therefore, Cao Ke found the bronze hammer pass and set it as the first line of his real sense of blocking zombie Legion!

With such a plan, Cao Ke naturally immediately contacted the fairy queen and Prince Jingyun to let them rebuild tongchuguan as soon as possible! After receiving Cao Ke's request letter, the Fairy Queen almost did not hesitate to send all her craftsmen and labor to tongchuiguan pass day and night to repair the city wall, pave the road, build barracks and organize a safe and reliable supply channel! Moreover, the fairy queen specially told the craftsmen leaders that they must build the fortifications of the new copper hammer pass according to the drawings that Cao Ke brought with her letter... Everything must be carried out according to the highest standards several levels higher than the original specifications of the construction of tyswall!

Of course, Prince Jingyun, who received a letter from Cao Ke at the same time as the fairy queen, was not idle. It was a long way to go. If he sent more labor to help build tongchui pass, it would be far away but not near. Prince Jingyun could only do his best to mobilize more than 80% of the air force of Tongtian empire, The materials and funds that the elves needed to rebuild the bronze hammer pass were sent to the elves queen at the fastest speed!

With the joint efforts of the fairy queen and Prince Jingyun, the new tongchui pass was finally completed just two days before the battle of crater!

Now that we have said that, we have to explain the surrounding information of the so-called tongchuiguan first! In fact, the original dwarf Empire lived in a huge basin. It was surrounded by four high mountains stretching tens of thousands of miles. Although these mountains limited the communication between the dwarf Empire and other ethnic groups in the state to a certain extent, they also became a natural barrier to protect the dwarf empire!

For example, if the orc Empire, which is hostile to the dwarf Empire, wants to attack the dwarf Empire, it must first cross one of the four mountains. How easy is that? The shortest of the four mountains is more than 5000 meters above sea level (except tongchuiguan), and all the mountains have been covered with ice and snow all the year round since the mid mountainside. Not to mention whether the army will have altitude reaction, physiological discomfort and other adverse conditions, but the ice and snow will at least bury the bones of the vast majority of people! OK, even if you have great ability to cross the mountains and enter the basin, you don't have the strength to deal with the fierce dwarf army's counterattack!

Having said the importance of mountains to the dwarf Empire, let's talk about the bronze hammer pass! Tongchuiguan is located in the northeast of the kentress mountains in the northern part of the dwarf empire. Here, in the middle of two towering peaks, there is a huge gap about 2800 meters above sea level! It can be said that this huge gap is the easiest place for the four mountains to enter into the dwarf Empire, so the dwarfs naturally built this famous tongchuiguan pass by relying on the cliffs on both sides!

Now, after the elves working day and night, the new tongchui pass has been completely resurrected, and is now in its original position! The city wall is 150 meters high, 478 meters long and 72 meters thick. It is between the two peaks! On the city wall, every ten meters, there is a giant crossbow guarding the city! Under each of the city guarding crossbows, there is a storehouse of more than ten square meters, in which there are a large number of special crossbows for the city guarding crossbow! These crossbows are connected with a skillfully designed transmission device. Once the crossbow on the crossbow machine is launched, the next one will automatically rise along the body and be placed in the slot of the crossbow machine.

This kind of city guarding crossbow is naturally a new type of crossbow transformed by dwarf craftsmen according to Cao Ke's requirements! Although the previous giant crossbow can also meet the requirement of continuous launching, the reserve of the arrow slot hanging on the crossbow machine is far less than the current way of transferring directly from the storehouse, which basically realizes the continuity of the city guarding giant crossbow in normal combat! Maximize the city of the giant crossbow that terrible lethality!

Do you think there are only these fortified version of the city guarding crossbow on this huge city wall? Then you are really wrong! Under the storage room of the city guarding crossbow, there are countless "invisible" rooms. From these rooms, you can quickly open a gap to see the outside! From these crevices, you can launch any attack method, such as bow and arrow, long knife, and oil that can make the city wall slippery

On the inside of the city wall, in addition to the proper shelter, dozens of platforms have been built. On each platform, a well-made catapult is quietly parked! Obviously, these catapults are an effective supplement to the city guarding crossbow. When they are launched together with the city guarding crossbow, they can attack a wider range and kill a wider area!

As for "why don't you put these catapults on the wall? Isn't that easier to aim at?" The answer to this question is very simple. Although the long-range attack power of the catapult is excellent, the short-range attack power can be ignored. Once the enemy rushes around them, the catapult will have to be slaughtered. It's better to simply set the catapult inside the city wall, The defense area of the catapult can not only be closer to the city wall, but also more effectively protect yourself from the enemy's damage! After all, the cost of a catapult is also very expensive.

In addition to these fortifications, the artillery array invented by Cao Kegang and brilliant in the encounter with zombie Legion is also essential! On top of the peaks on both sides of the city wall, ten groups of three rows of such artillery arrays were built respectively! Every muzzle of these artillery arrays is towards the gate of tongchui pass. Once the enemy is within 100 meters of tongchui pass, the artillery arrays on both sides can instantly form a cross fire to cover the enemy and give the enemy a fatal blow!

The most fatal thing is that if you want to go to tongchuiguan, you have to climb a steep slope hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, which is more than 45 degrees from the earth's surface! On both sides of the steep slope are higher and higher cliffs. Only the steep slope road can directly come to the gate of tongchuiguan and under the city wall.

In other words, this steep slope is a very obvious plot! If you want to conquer the bronze hammer pass, you have to climb this steep slope first! Once you climb this steep slope, you will have to bear the sharp attack of intensive fortifications! In a dilemma, it is a great test of the commanding ability of the generals who attack tongchui pass. Now tongchui pass has become a "first fortress of the mainland" in the true sense, far better than the one who was destroyed at the beginning!
