1129 West Point City of San City
*pant* *pant*
Nan Luo looked at the big city in front of him. This was the third day and they barely got enough rest for the past two days. There were already four battles that they fought on their way towards this West Point City.
The soldiers behind him were panting, feeling both exhausted yet also determined to finish this up until the end.
“This is still in the morning. We’ll take a short rest and make battle plan to take the city.” Feng Ao Kuai could see that the soldiers were not in a good condition. They had just been attacked right before dawn and forced to fight before they made their way here.
This three points city were indeed not easy.
If not for Young Commander Long and General Chi who were attacking the South Point and the East Point, there would have been more soldiers coming on their way.
“Got it.” Nan Luo took a deep breath.
Nan Hua was looking at the city in front of her and realized that it was a somewhat old city. The city was built decades ago when the materials were still lacking and looked quite dilapidated even from outside.
There has been a lot of reinforcement that was done, but Nan Hua believed that they didn’t completely change the foundation.
.....
Foundation….
Nan Hua’s eyes flashed with a strange light as she looked at the area around the city. If she could get closer and see the damages on the wall, she might be able to do something towards it.
“Nan? What are you thinking?” Feng Ao Kuai saw that Nan Hua was looking at the city continuously.
“Is there anything we can use to break the wall?”
“Break the wall?” Feng Ao Kuai was stunned. He looked at the large war in front of him and felt a bit apprehensive. While destroying the wall was one of the few methods to conquer a city, but he was sure that Fei Yang Kingdom would want to make use of this city.
“The foundation of this city is unstable and will not be suitable for long term use.” Nan Hua knew very well that this city wall has been risen but the foundation hasn’t been changed. Since that was the case, there will definitely be crack at the bottom and soon, the entire wall will collapse.
“There are axes…” Feng Ao Kuai was not sure what else the weapons that these soldiers bring. “And there should be some cub?”
“Not enough.” Nan Hua shook her head. She thought of the catapult design and then looked at the trees. This type of trees should be suitable to make these catapult. Her eyes lit up slightly. “Help me cut down some trees and follow my arrangement.”
“…Got it.”
Even though the soldiers were tired, when they heard that the one who ordered it was Nan Hua, they chose to stand up and followed what she asked them do make. There should already be catapult in this era.
But the one who made them were mostly Shi Long Kingdom.
After all, every kingdom has their own specialties. Shi Long Kingdom was known for their igneous invention for war that included catapults, tower ladder, and many others. These were very useful for war but also hard to use when the enemies were prepared.
And the design of the catapult was still quite bad at this time.
They couldn’t cover too long range and hadn’t been quite useful for strong walls that had been fortified. But for this kind of wall, Nan Hua believed that it would be useful.
In just a short hour, Nan Hua had finished building the primitive catapult.
To be honest, she was not satisfied with it.
This will definitely break down after being used for a day or two and was partially fixed at the ground. She would have to design the wheels if they wanted to use this for wider range of war.
“Are we in Shi Long Kingdom?” Nan Luo asked when he saw the primitive catapult that Nan Hua made.
“No, but other kingdoms can also make this thing as long as they study it long enough. The problem is that no one can be as rich as Shi Long Kingdom to prepare the metals necessary to make it long lasting because our resources have been used a lot for weapons and war preparation.” Feng Ao Kuai was studying the catapult with great interest.
If it was the primitive type like what Nan Hua made, other kingdoms could also make it. But the problem was that it wouldn’t last long.
Shi Long Kingdom was very very rich due to their large area and various resources that they had obtained from wars against the southern’ tribe. They had a lot of manpower dedicated to perfect these war weapons and even equipped it with various enhancement that can make it stronger.
It was like….
Other kingdoms were mostly using wooden carriages.
While those at Shi Long Kingdom would use carriages that had been reinforced with metal almost all over and the wheels were also added sharp edge that can kill people.
Other kingdom can copy, of course.
But their number would be much smaller and couldn’t be as domineering and as effective as Shi Long Kingdom.
And so on.
“Well, Fei Yang Kingdom has always been known to be barbarian.” Nan Luo sighed deeply when he thought of the kingdom’s reputation.
Why barbarian?
It was because there were a lot of generals who loved to showcase their muscle…
*cough*
I meant, they loved to battle through sheer power and usually won with it. Thus, everyone had come into consensus that in terms of raw power… it would be better not to clash directly against people from Fei Yang Kingdom unless they wanted to die.
At the very least, they needed to overpower them through number to achieve equal result.
So far, this method had been able to restrain Shi Long Kingdom.
After all, that ‘barbarian’ Shangguan Xian was clearly at the forefront and could confront Shi Long Kingdom with his raw power. There were also many other commanders who used to be under Great General Shangguan were still there.
They were all raw power maniac.
Facing these people head on would give a lot of people headache.
They were too strong!
