After the Duke received them, Panda and the others returned to the fortress on the top of the mountain.

Now the situation in the Norma area is like this. The Molai people rely on the mountains covered with ice armor to defend, while the Thracians are stationed outside the mountains. In addition to defending the occupied gold line of defense, the rest is patience. Wait, wait for the snow to melt before attacking.

The pandas and the others started some raids one after another, and several other traversers also participated in this attack, which caused a lot of trouble to the Thracians.

This is reminiscent of a famous Internet joke - how did Guo Jing, the protagonist of the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", die? Stupid! He is highly skilled in martial arts and has a good horse. He can go out of the city every day and shoot Mongolian soldiers, kill a hundred soldiers a day, and kill more than 30,000 soldiers a year. No matter how many Mongolian soldiers attacked Xiangyang, he couldn't withstand such a killing. As a result, he huddled in the city and couldn't get out. In the end, he was penetrated by a wave of hundreds of thousands of troops and killed his whole family.

Of course, this is not because the protagonist is stupid, but just a bug caused by the author's unwillingness to change history. But the pandas and the others don't care about changing history. They just hate that the time is not long enough. If they can give them more than ten years, they really have the confidence to rely on a few people to kill the Thracian army...

It is a pity that the time does not wait for me, and the winter will end before I know it. Even if there are magicians in the Federation who try to delay, the pace of spring is still unstoppable.

Moreover, the Federation has magicians, and of course Thrace also has them.

When the first spring breeze in the north blew, the Thracian magicians held a grand magic ceremony, which not only broke the magic of the federal magicians to maintain the cold climate, but also made those federal magicians suffer The backlash of the spell, one died on the spot, two were seriously injured, and the rest were injured, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to recover in a while.

In fact, it was of no use for them to recover, because the Thracians had increased their troops again.

"From a distance, it really looks like a group of ants." The panda stood on the edge of the top of the mountain and pointed to the long line in the distance, "If it was in the Xianxia novel, should I say 'ants' at this time? 'What, with grandeur?"

"That being said, you generally don't survive three episodes," Horus said.

Panda smiled: "We are like this now, we can't die if we want to die, let alone three episodes, three thousand episodes are probably fine."

"It's not necessarily a pleasant thing to live for a long time. Maybe after a few years, most of us will be tired of living." Neckhardt said, "Why does the dragon like to sleep? Isn't it just boring."

Panda recalled the situation of the seed girl he saw in the castle - he really didn't think that guy was boring, she was just lazy, right?

There are many otaku men and otaku women, but it is rare to see otakus lying in acid pools all day to sleep.

I don't know what this girl looks like in reality? Shouldn't it be the legendary ball monster?

Whether or not the traversers are really tired of living, this topic is still far away from them at least for now. The looming problem at hand was that, with the spring blossoms and the melting of the ice covering the mountain peaks, the Thracians could start attacking the mountain again.

And...they have increased a lot of troops this time. Mo Lai's military has attacked several times, trying to disrupt their attack on the mountain. As a result, apart from the loss of soldiers and generals, they have not been able to achieve many results.

There are about twenty mountain fortresses in the silver coin defense line. It is not easy to dig so many mountain peaks one by one. If Yugong was asked to dig, maybe ten or eight years of digging might not have much effect. But the Thracians are not ancient civilians with simple tools such as hoes and baskets. They are not only numerous and powerful, but more importantly, they have powerful force and sharp weapons-they used alchemical explosives for mining ore in mines.

Under the attack of the Molai people, the Thracians firmly held their positions on the mountainside, and then it took less than ten days to blow up a mountain peak.

A mountain in ten days is not that fast. According to the silver coin defense line, if there are about 20 peaks to be captured, it will take them about a year - wait until winter, and then the mountain will be frozen again.

However, this optimistic estimate was quickly broken. After careful analysis of the battle situation, the people of the Raiders team believed that the Thracian army only needed to break four or five peaks to make the silver coin defense line useless. This line of defense The key lies in the ropeways and pulleys that connect the various peaks. As long as several peaks located in the central area as the hub are destroyed, the entire ropeway pulley system will collapse completely, and the silver coin defense line will lose its greatest support.

Without the ropeway and pulley, the fortresses on the top of the mountain would be meaningless. As long as the Thracians arranged a force at the foot of the mountain, they could be trapped on the top of the mountain and unable to move.

At that time, the Thracians didn't even need to attack the mountains. Just hunger and thirst could force them to go down the mountain to die, or simply surrender.

The fate warlock Reas, who likes the crow's mouth, can't help but sigh: "Without the silver coin defense line of the ropeway and pulley, it is simply a salted fish grilled on a charcoal fire! It is completely the same as Ma Su who lost the street!"

These words are bad enough. When the pandas and the others saw it, their faces turned black.

Even if you don't study history, you know that Ma Su is notoriously ambitious and talented. The idiom "talking about soldiers on paper" says that Zhao Kuo is only a lip service, but Zhao Kuo still persisted for more than 40 days after being surrounded - if Ma Su could also persist in Jieting for more than 40 days, Zhuge Liang's army would have arrived long ago, Jieting. The battle was won.

For this reason, Panda and the others quarreled with Reyas and other sarcastic people. But the quarrel can't solve the problem, and after the quarrel, they still have to face the dilemma of "the entire silver coin defense line can only last for less than two months".

Duke Norma naturally discovered this problem, and even if he couldn't see it, the officers and staff could see it and tell him about it, and he would understand.

In the face of the unexpected situation, Duke Norma was a little at a loss. He convened a group of senior officers and aides, and held meetings for several days, but he never came up with a good solution.

The key to the problem is the combat effectiveness of the army. If the Molai Army could confront the Thracian Army directly, it would be possible to concentrate the entire Silver Coin line of defense, relying on the advantage of the terrain and commanding the Thracians directly down the mountain.

But... Molai's army was facing the Thracian army, and it felt a little vulnerable.

It would be fine if it was in a narrow terrain, but the locations where the Thracians bombed the mountains were all relatively flat and open hillsides, and I dare not say that there are many hundreds of people on one front, there is absolutely no problem. At this level of battle, Mo Lai's army can't really beat it, and even if he has a terrain advantage, he can't beat it.

All they could do was to temporarily set up some small ballistas and the like, and smashed stones far from the mountain, using this method to interfere with the work of the Thracians.

This approach worked somewhat, but in the end it was just a small game. Not many ballistas can be built on the steep hillside, but one or two small ballistas can cause some obstacles to the Thracians, but they are always only "some obstacles".

The second peak lasted for almost fifteen days, five more days than the first, and that's it.

When this mountain finally collapsed, everyone knew that the silver coin defense line really couldn't hold it this time...
