Devouring Evolution Begins with Hedgehogs

In the end, in order to make a quick decision, Liu Ergou had no choice but to order the mobilization of heavy artillery on the city wall to directly blast the defense line of the logging battalion.

The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and these "second-class fighters" are obviously fully capable of doing their duty.

It's just that Liu Ergou really can't care about paying respect to these competent fighters at the moment.

Mrs. Pivo not only deployed this line of defense in God's Weeping Canyon, but along the canyon all the way to the east, there are as many as four lines of defense and garrisons in seventeen camps, but the heavy firepower is mainly concentrated here.

If you can't quickly capture this line of defense, and when the other defenders in the canyon come to their senses, Liu Ergou will be in trouble!
This round of bombardment crushed more than half of the soldiers and their defensive lines into dust, and evenly scattered them on the battlefield.

After solving all the resistance, the first problem Liu Ergou faced was whether to stick to this line of defense.

Like Pivov's army, Liu Ergou also faced the problem of too long supply lines.

It is more than 300 kilometers from Beiyuan City to God Weeping Canyon!There is nothing else along the way except the Gobi Desert, which is ravaged by wind and sand.

If he wants to gain a foothold here, it means that Liu Ergou has to build a long supply line stretching [-] kilometers, which is quite difficult for the current Beiyuan City.

And if this line of defense is abandoned like this, then the recovered Pivov army will surely realize that there is an imperial army stronghold not far from God's Weeping Canyon.

And in this way, it is difficult to guarantee that Pivov will not use this "stronghold" idea, and then use it as a springboard to invade the inland of the empire.

At that time, Beiyuan City will face Pivov's army directly!
After careful consideration, Liu Ergou decided to rely on the original fortifications and defend on the spot.

It may be difficult for Beiyuan City to maintain a [-]-kilometer supply line, but it is not the case for Pivov.Since seventeen camps can be connected in a line in the canyon to support this line of defense, there is no guarantee that Mrs. Piwo will not use seventeen camps to spread the army all the way to the gate of Beiyuan City.

Unlike the former Third Legion, which had dense forests and hills to defend, the area between Beiyuan City and God's Weeping Canyon was an endless wilderness except for the highland where it was located.

Want to face Pivov's army head-on on such terrain?Liu Ergou hasn't swelled enough to feel that he is stronger than Satorio.

If you want to stop this possible invading army, the best option is to block it in the Gods Weeping Canyon.

On the other hand, out of the consideration of besieging Wei and saving Zhao for Avilance, Liu Ergou couldn't withdraw either.

In the final analysis, one of the important reasons why Liu Ergou agreed to this plan was the dangerous location of God Weeping Canyon.

Different from the northern wilderness on the empire's side, the eastern end of the Gods Weeping Canyon is the northern important town of the Principality of Pivov - Furlong City.

Just like Nefarian and O'Hrien, Furlong City is also an important source of metal resources in Pivov.

Once it falls here, it will deal a serious blow to Pivov's overall military strength.

The reason why it is necessary to strengthen the garrison of God's Weeping Canyon in this way is to prevent the imperial army from attacking from behind.

Judging from the situation on the front line, the Pivov Army seems to be only ready to fight the Imperial Army on a single line.

Kaxilin's southern front corps only played the task of feint attack and containment, and God's Weeping Canyon couldn't even shrink back.

If Pivov really had extra military strength, he would definitely not let this opportunity pass by easily.

From this point of view, there is no direction in the direction of Furlong City, and it is impossible to mobilize enough garrison forces to ensure the safety of the border, so extreme tactics such as the Maginot Line of Defense are adopted.

The reason why Liu Ergou decided to stay where he was was betting on this.

To be precise, it was a bet that Pivov's high command would misinterpret this raid as a signal of a large-scale invasion by the Imperial Army, and then adopt tactics of strengthening the defense line instead of taking the initiative to attack.

In this way, Liu Ergou can not only protect the safety of Beiyuan City, but also play a role in containing the war in the east, so that the Pivov army who invaded Okhrian City dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight.

After all, no matter how weak the imperial army was, it would not be easy to eat. If it really fought hard, Pivov would not have enough troops to return to defense.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou wrote a letter on the spot, and then asked Brent to take people to Easton Pier overnight.

In this letter to Avilance, Liu Ergou listed in detail the benefits of being stationed in Gods Weeping Canyon.

And taking this as an opportunity, he asked Avilance to directly send troops to reinforce Beiyuan City.

Writing this letter is more or less a helpless act.

After all, if possible, Liu Ergou really didn't want outsiders to get involved in Beiyuan's defense work.

But in terms of the current strength of Beiyuan City, it is already quite strenuous to maintain this [-]-kilometer-long supply line, and the garrison of God's Weeping Canyon will undoubtedly require more manpower.

It's not enough just to be able to shrink back like Gerson did before.

The Pivov Command is not a fool, and they can see through the guilty conscience behind Liu Ergou's move at a glance.

Therefore, in Liu Ergou's plan, God's Weeping Canyon must not only be defended, but also maintain a certain degree of proactive attack momentum!

Whether it is reconnaissance, harassment, or a tentative frontal attack
All in all, Mrs. Pivot on the other side of the canyon must not be idle, and a signal of "I like you very much" must be conveyed at all times.

And this must rely on the regular army of the empire.

But before that, Liu Ergou still has a lot of things to do, one of which is to reap the spoils this time.

It's fine to send them to clean the battlefield or tidy up the warehouse. In short, by early morning, Liu Ergou had obtained a list with a length that he was very satisfied with.

140 seven cannons, [-] ballistas, and various weapons and equipment
Among them, what Liu Ergou wanted most was Mrs. Piwo's powerful long-range magic cannon, and after this battle, as many as 28 were seized!

If the first round of bombing hadn't blown up the city for safety reasons, Liu Ergou would have harvested more cannons.

Two-thirds of the various cannons were left, and the remaining one-third was shipped immediately under Liu Ergou's order.

And De Lisi and others in the city have already made preparations to receive it, and they will start reverse analysis as soon as the cannon arrives.

Liu Ergou has never doubted De Lisi's research level.

Presumably, it won't be long before Beiyuan City will be able to use the advanced cannons it made.

As for the individual weapons and equipment, except for the projectile weapons that were left to strengthen the defense, the rest, such as swords and armors that did not match the shape of the orcs, were transported back to the city.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. The weapons and equipment for 3000 people can produce a lot of metal.

Because the process of capturing the defense line was beyond imagination, Liu Ergou's original plan of "digging the ground and blowing up the wall" did not come in handy.

And this complete city wall was retained as part of the new line of defense, but the position of the garrison was changed to the west side, and the muzzles were all aimed at the canyon on the east side.
