Chapter 871 - 412: The final battle! Victory is ours!
Mounted on a griffin beast, Duke Turing Tuo saw the open ground in front of the Wind Thunder Fortress walls piled with countless huge boulders, haphazardly scattered here and there.
In the latter part of last night, Turing Tuo had heard from scouts that there were unusual noises at Wind Thunder Fortress, and he immediately ordered the scouts to investigate again.
After paying the price of several hundred lives, the scouts reported back that Suo Lun’s forces were transporting huge boulder obstacles to the battlefield outside the city walls, attempting to create barriers on the battlefield to hinder the army’s assault on the city.
At that moment, Turing Tuo was undecided on whether or not to send cavalry to stop Suo Lun.
The location of Suo Lun’s troops’ activity was so close to the walls of Wind Thunder Fortress, it was entirely within the attack range of all the cannons and catapults. Sending too many cavalrymen would be a death sentence. Sending too few would be ineffective and also a death mission.
Moreover, in just a few hours, Suo Lun could hardly change anything significant.
Early this morning, Turing Tuo and Zhi Li climbed to a vantage point, and as expected, hundreds of meters in front of the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, dense clusters of boulder barriers had been haphazardly erected.
The tallest was no more than half a man high and completely disorganized!
From the air on the back of a griffin beast, these clusters of boulder obstacles also appeared very sparse.
Zhi Li immediately burst into laughter, "Really, Suo Lun has run out of tricks. Just a few stones, and he thinks they can stop my several hundred thousand troops?"
He completely disregarded these disorderly and sparse clusters of boulder obstacles, which indeed seemed incapable of blocking anything.
