Chapter 90: Soldiers Approaching the Entrance of the Stone Cave

After a day and a night of marching, Da Liang's army of walking corpses finally arrived at the entrance of the stone cave.

Shidongkou is a wharf adjacent to the Yangtze River, because this wharf can allow some small boats to dock, so those boat owners who can't find berths in Shangjiang City and Chongming City will choose to dock here. With the tax revenue on the wharf, Shidongkou Wharf has become an important source of revenue for Baoshan City.

In order to protect this cornucopia of gold coins that kept supplying Baoshan City, the warlock nobles of the academic school built a ring of walls around the stone cave entrance pier.

The army of walking corpses that came out of Jiading City had already been known to the nobles of Baoshan City, and even though the army of Shangjiang City had gathered at the border, in order to defend the entrance of the stone cave, Baoshan City still sent a considerable number of troops.

High in the sky, Da Liang rode a royal griffin to reconnoiter and take pictures of the stone cave mouth below. However, the defenders at the entrance of the cave did not intend for a royal griffin knight to unscrupulously probe into their military secrets, and a god and a small group of gargoyles flew towards the Great Bright.

Knowing the speed of the competition, the royal griffin was not the opponent of the ninth-level god monster, Da Liang immediately turned around and fled, and the god monster was also afraid of being ambushed and did not dare to leave the city wall too far, so he chased for a while and retreated.

Outside the city wall at the entrance of the stone cave, Da Liang's army of walking corpses stood outside the artillery range of the city wall in a 1-3-3-3 formation in large groups, the griffon squadron stopped behind the army of walking corpses, and the cavalry squad that had entered the sequence stood behind the griffons under the leadership of Simon.

Da Liang fell from the sky and asked Shu Xiao beside him, "Are you at school or at home?" ”

"Of course I'm at home with this kind of fun war plot...... Don't worry, I locked the door, turned off all the mobile phones, and even the windows I locked from the inside, so that no one could disturb us......"

This one...... should be happy, why is my brother a little scared?

"Hmm...... Well done. Da Liang praised Shu Xiao's dedication, and reserved his own opinion on the process, he continued: "Now let's go to the living room to meet, we all use portable game terminals to go online, this war is more difficult to fight, we must cooperate well." ”

"Yes, Master!" Shu Xiao immediately went offline.

In the living room, the curtains are drawn to make the light in the room very dim. Da Liang and Shu Xiao sat side by side on the sofa, and on the coffee table opposite them, a stereo projector projected a high-altitude photo of the stone cave entrance that they had just taken in a hurry.

The north side of the stone cave entrance faces the river, and an arc-shaped city wall encloses the entire wharf. There are three forts on the city walls, and five cannons can be vaguely seen on each battery. As for the other troop formations, they are illegible due to the blurry photographs. But judging from the soldiers sent to drive away the entrance of the Great Bright Stone Cave, the gods and gargoyles must be in the army sequence of the defenders.

On the water surface of the Shangjiang River outside the Shidongkou Wharf, all the more than 20 brig-class warships of the Baoshan Fleet have arrived, and to the east of the Baoshan Fleet on the river, more than 20 brig-class warships under the banner of the Pudong Fleet have already lined up a battle line to block all the ships passing in the Yangtze River.

Da Liang pointed to the stereoscopic projection photo and said: "This is the entire Shidongkou defense map, the Pudong fleet on the river is a friendly army, but unless the defenders of Shidongkou take the initiative to attack them, they will not participate in the battle." How do you think you should attack to take the stone cave pier smoothly? ”

Shu Xiao looked at the photo and said: "The three forts on the city wall at the entrance of the stone cave pose a great threat to our army, especially our main force is the walking corpse, and if you move slowly, you will be bombarded more." Moreover, these three forts are set up at three points of the curved city wall, one at the east and west ends, and one at the middle of the arc. Either way, we were attacked by at least two batteries. However, the number of our air units is too small to have the spare time to raid the batteries and remove the threat of artillery. ”

Da Liang stared at the three turrets on the wall of the stone cave entrance and also fell into thought, the power of the cannon he had seen in the game. During the attack on Dust Island, although the dwarves' artillery bombardment did not hit the landed skeletons, after falling into the sea, they still killed and injured some skeletons walking in the sea despite the resistance of the sea.

This is the power of artillery in naval warfare, and the power of artillery in land warfare is still huge. Sidney, who has intermediate gunnery skills, said that when an experienced gunner fires on land, he can make the flying shells bounce off the solid ground, forming a low-flat ricochet projectile, and the killing range of this kind of shell is linear, and all soldiers in a line will die and be wounded.

The fort cooperated with the ranged troops that the academy already had an advantage, and it was difficult for the walking corpse troops to rush under the city walls.

Da Liang also thought about letting the walking corpses bypass the city wall from the bottom of the river and directly attack the dock, but the water in the dock was so deep that the walking corpses could not go ashore at all, and when the time came, they would only die worse in the face of attacks from the shore and warships.

Just as Da Liang was thinking about tactics, Shu Xiao pointed to the Pudong fleet on the river and said, "Since these are friendly forces, can we let them cooperate?" You don't need them to be involved in the attack, you just need to move together. ”

Da Liang is the baron of Shangjiang City, the red man in front of Joyce, the admiral of the Pudong fleet, and the admiral's personal soldiers in his hands. Holding chicken feathers as arrows, Da Liang recognized himself to persuade this Pudong fleet to make a coordinated move.

"It should be okay, I still have a bit of prestige in the Pudong fleet."

With Da Liang's affirmative reply, Shu Xiao said: "Then Master will let the ships of the Pudong fleet move to the south shore, and we will approach the south bank and attack the stone cave mouth from the side. In this case, we would only have to face the East Battery and the Center Battery, which could attack us from the front, and the Center Battery, which would need to open its guns diagonally to the north, so that we could hit the Pudong Fleet if we were not careful. If the defenders of Shidongkou did not want the Pudong fleet to participate in the battle, the central battery would not dare to open fire, and we only need to face one battery. ”

Sure enough, a graduate student in architecture who can't put a bomb is not a good bodyguard.

Professional knowledge allowed Shu Xiao to find the best offensive route with a sharp hit, and with the Pudong fleet protecting the formation from the side, the Baoshan fleet could not attack the flank of the walking corpse army, and at the same time attacking from the east against the river bank, the number of long-range troops of the defenders who could enter the battle was also greatly reduced.

Of course, the narrow battlefield environment also makes it impossible for the army of the walking corpses to be deployed, and only one large group of walking corpses can be thrown into an attack.

This is better, you can use one brigade of walking corpses to capture the city wall in a war, and my brother definitely doesn't need two brigades.

The line of attack was determined, and all that remained was the commander's on-the-spot command. Da Liang and Shu Xiao turned their attention to the game, and the army of walking corpses collectively moved towards the city wall on the east side of the stone cave entrance.

The footsteps of the march of 10,000 walking corpses shook the entire stone cave entrance pier.

The Great War is about to break out.
