Letting the Sky Dance level experts stand in the first row to block the Zi Trees was something that Year 19 and the others could think of. It wasn't a solution, but it wasn't a solution. Who asked the rolling logs to be too savage? Other than the Sky Dance level experts, normal soldiers would have a hard time blocking the impact of the rolling logs.
Nineteen and the other people in the tent were thinking about this idea. They wanted to see if it was reliable or not. But after thinking for a long time, they discovered that this was the only method they could use, there was no other way.
Moreover, even if Sky Dance Experts wanted to make a move, they would need several people to do it at the same time. One or two people wouldn't be enough. This kind of weapon that relied on the mountain and the weight of the wood to create an impact was very difficult to deal with.
Nineteen agreed to use this method, but he also knew that his words didn't count. Moreover, if he decided to use this method, then he would have to bear the responsibility if something happened. Because of this, he didn't directly agree to this method. Instead, he turned his head to the others and said, "Does anyone have any opinions?"
The tent was silent once again. In fact, it wasn't only Nineteen who didn't want to take responsibility, the others were the same. Nineteen looked at them and said, "Does everyone think that this method is feasible? If everyone thinks that this method is feasible, then we can use it. If everyone thinks that it's impossible, then we can propose a feasible method. "
Nobody spoke. Nineteen's expression turned cold, then he turned his head to General Wu. General Wu was the General of Bullhead City, so Nineteen wanted him to take the lead. If nobody spoke, then this meeting wouldn't be able to continue.
General Wu knew what Year 19 meant, but he didn't care. In fact, Bullhead City-State was just a small city-state. If it weren't for Year 19, then General Wu wouldn't have any right to speak in this meeting. Now that Year 19 asked him to speak, General Wu didn't hesitate as he directly said, "I agree with this proposal. This is the best method we can think of. If we want to deal with the South Hua Gate as soon as possible, then we can only use this method to break the Rolling Wood Formation."
Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, the others pretty much understood Year 19's intentions. Therefore, everyone opened their mouths and agreed to this proposal. Year 19 also decided on this matter. Afterwards, Year 19 divided some Sky Dance experts and had them move in front of the formation tomorrow, specifically to break the Rolling Wood Formation.
After the meeting was over, Stone Hammer and the others returned to their tents. After sitting down, Lu Yuan opened his mouth and said, "General Stone, do you think this method is feasible?"
Lu Yuan was the leading general of Deer City, a very low-key person. Shi Chui thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It seems to be feasible, but if it were me, I would not use this method."
Shi Ye looked at Stone Hammer in confusion and said, "Why? Even if we let those Sky Dance level experts participate in the battle, and thus cause the other side to also send Sky Dance level experts to participate in the battle, that's not a big deal. In any case, that day will come sooner or later. What's the big deal if it comes a day earlier or a day later? "
Stone Hammer shook his head and said, "It's not because of this. I'm just worried that if the other side can think of this method, then they might have a backup plan. If they send Sky Dance Experts, then those Sky Dance Experts might be in danger."
Shi Ye stared blankly for a moment before asking in confusion, "Danger? What danger can Sky Dance Experts be in? This kind of rolling wood formation shouldn't be a threat to Sky Dance Experts, right? "
Stone Hammer said, "You are a Sky Dance Expert, do you think this kind of rolling wood formation can pose a threat to you? At present, the problem is that you can't fly. "
Shi Ye thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If I'm alone and can't fly, then I have no way to block this rolling wood formation. But even if I can't fly, I should have no problem protecting myself. But if there are several people working together, then blocking this rolling wood formation shouldn't be a problem."
Shi Ye nodded and said, "Yes, you're right, but there are two problems. First, you and the others can't cooperate so smoothly. If you cooperate well, then there's naturally no problem. If you don't cooperate well enough, then it won't be so easy to block the rolling wood formation. Second, what if the enemy has a backup plan? Not to mention anything else, if they ignite the rolling wood, how will you deal with it? "
Hearing Shi Ye say this, Shi Ye and the others' faces couldn't help but change. Shi Ye said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be, right? I've seen the rolling wood, it seems like it's still wet. How can it be ignited? " But after saying this, Shi Ye didn't regret it. He was also a commander, so he knew that there were many ways to ignite the rolling wood. And after igniting the rolling wood formation, it would be even more difficult to resist in the future.
Lu Yuan's face turned ugly as he said, "Is there no way to deal with this kind of rolling wood?"
Stone Hammer replied, "There must be a way. I can only think of two methods. One is to have Sky Dance Experts fly into the sky and wait for the enemy to release the rolling logs. Before they can form an impact, we can use javelins to nail them to the ground. This way, they won't be able to borrow the momentum of the mountain to charge up. The other method is to build some battering carts and form a slope in front of the battering carts. Then we can have ordinary soldiers push the battering carts up the mountain. The number of people pushing the battering carts must be large, and the carts must be sturdy. This way, when the rolling logs come down, they can use the battering carts to block it."
When they heard Shi Ye and the others, they stared blankly. Then they thought about it and found that these two methods were really possible. The rolling wood was very powerful, but what if they couldn't get up? What if there were enough people blocking the rolling wood? Then this kind of rolling wood formation wouldn't be difficult to break.
The others were also relieved. As long as they could break the rolling wood formation, then it would be fine. Even if Nineteen didn't use their methods, as long as they knew how to break the rolling wood formation, then they would have some confidence in their hearts.
After discussing for a while, they returned to their tents early to rest. The next morning, they woke up early and prepared to see how Nineteen would break the rolling wood formation.
Nineteen and the others still got up at the same time to eat. Then they got into formation as the army began to move up the mountain. What was different this time was that the Sky Dance Experts were standing in front of the formation as they slowly moved forward. Upon seeing this arrangement, Shi Ye and the others couldn't help but nod. They also felt that this arrangement was a bit silly.
At this time, rolling wood was released from the mountain. Looking at the rolling wood rushing down, Nineteen and the others couldn't help but have a burst of chaos. Fortunately, it was quickly suppressed. The Sky Dance Realm experts in front had a dignified expression on their faces.
While the rolling wood was moving forward, suddenly, from the South China Gate, a row of fire arrows were shot. The target of these fire arrows wasn't the formation, but the rolling wood. Soon, the fire arrows hit the rolling wood and ignited it. The rolling wood immediately started to burn. It was obvious that the rolling wood had been soaked in oil, which was why it could burn so quickly.
When the rolling wood started to burn, the complexions of the Sky Dance Realm experts changed. If it was an ordinary rolling wood, then they would be able to block it. But how could they block this rolling wood? The Sky Dance Realm experts didn't think as they directly flew up.
But just as those Sky Dance level experts were about to fly up, arrows were suddenly shot out from the city. Those arrows were aimed at those Sky Dance level experts.
The Sky Dance Experts didn't think that the arrows from the city would be so accurate. They were immediately greeted by the arrows. Several Sky Dance Experts were caught off guard and were directly shot down by the arrows. As for the rest, they immediately flew out of the range of the arrows.
However, the people below didn't pay attention to the situation of the Sky Dance Realm experts. This was because the formation was now facing the impact of the rolling wood. At this time, the formation was already in chaos. The soldiers in the formation had all scattered and fled. But even so, they were still hit by the rolling wood. The alliance army was once again defeated.
Bang! Year 191 kicked the table in front of him and loudly said, "A trifling rolling wood formation can't be broken. How long has our army stayed here? If this continues, how can we take down Nanhua City? Hateful, too hateful. If I attack Nanhua City, then I'll allow everyone to not seal their weapons! "
When they heard Year 191, everyone stared. Then their complexion changed. Year 191 allowed everyone to not seal their weapons. This also meant that they were allowed to burn, kill, and loot at will. Moreover, he didn't set a time limit. He said that they wouldn't seal their weapons. For everyone, this was very tempting. For a while, everyone began to think of ways to break the rolling wood formation.
A General looked at Year 191 and carefully said, "Alliance Lord, how about we ask the Ancestor to make a move?"
Immediately, someone objected, "No, absolutely not. A Void Dance level expert taking action is within our range. If the Patriarchs were to take action, then the situation would completely change. When the time comes, it would be a great battle between the Patriarchs.
Year 191 didn't lose his mind, so he nodded and said, "That's right. We can't let the Ancestor make a move. Let's think of another way." Although the Ancestor of Mammoth City didn't come this time, if something happened to the other Ancestors, then Year 191 wouldn't be able to explain himself. Moreover, the Ancestors weren't easy to command, especially Tang Ming and the others. Year 191 was almost certain that he wouldn't be able to command them. Because of this, he didn't want to invite a rebuff.
Another General said in a deep voice, "The advantage of the opponent's rolling wood formation lies in their momentum. We can block the rolling wood before their momentum increases. This way, we don't need to be afraid of their rolling wood formation."
Hearing this, everyone stared blankly. Shi Ye and the others turned to look at Shi Chui. Shi Chui just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. It was clear that this General had the same idea as Shi Chui. He could be considered a capable person.
Year 191's eyes lit up as he said, "Right, right. The strongest point of the rolling wood formation is its impact. As long as we can stop it from reaching us, then we can easily block it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop the rolling wood formation from reaching us?"
Everyone began to rack their brains, and the general who proposed this idea said, "We can let the ballista try. As long as the other side puts down the rolling wood, we can immediately shoot an arrow in front of the rolling wood. This way, the impact of the rolling wood will be blocked by the ballista's arrow before it can reach the ground. Then the impact of the rolling wood won't be able to reach the ground."
Year 191's eyes lit up as they nodded incessantly. Even Shi Chui nodded. He felt that this method was indeed good. Although his method was good, it required a Sky Dance Expert. On the other hand, the other party's method only required the ballistas. However, Shi Chui still felt that it was safer to send a Sky Dance Expert. Although the other party had ballistas that could deal with Sky Dance Experts, one shouldn't forget that the ballistas had a limited range. Sky Dance Experts could fly higher and then throw their javelins down. Moreover, the higher they fly, the more powerful the javelins would be.
Of course, in Stonehammer's plan, the javelins they threw out had to be made of pure iron. Wood wouldn't work because the other party would ignite a fire on the rolling wood. The wooden javelin shaft wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the rolling wood, so it was safer to use iron javelins.
For example, the wood used to make the spear shaft must be carefully planted so that there wouldn't be any scabies on the wood. If that was the case, the spear shaft would break easily. When the wood used to make the spear shaft grew, it had to be cut down, dried, and then soaked in oil. After a few times, it would be painted. Only in this way would the spear shaft be durable and very tough. It could be stored for several years without worrying about moths and insects eating it. But Zhao Hai didn't think that the spear shaft would be so big that it wouldn't be damaged. Instead, he thought that the spear shaft would be very durable and tough. It could be stored for several years without worrying about moths and insects.
However, the fire resistance of a spear shaft made this way wasn't very good. This was something that couldn't be helped. Spear shafts were made this way. If they were to use iron shafts, then let's not talk about who would be able to use the spear. Just the cost of making the spear shaft wasn't something that an ordinary city-state could bear. In a place without machinery, mining iron was very difficult, and the cost of mining was also very high.
Year 19 and the others obviously didn't think of this, they just thought that it was a good idea. Therefore, Year 19 immediately made arrangements. The other side obviously wouldn't release the rolling logs until they saw their army move. Therefore, they would still attack the mountain tomorrow. When the other side released the rolling logs, they would then let the Ballistas fire.
But now, after the successive failures, the morale of the allied forces had been greatly affected. If they attack tomorrow, the soldiers might be defeated as soon as they see the rolling wood. Thinking of this situation, Year 19 couldn't help but have a headache.
