Chapter 180: The army is assembled
Alas...... The navy has invested a lot of troops in Songjiang City, and now it has to deal with the Chongming fleet, and the strength is indeed not sufficient.
However, if you can ask for a few soldiers, the military strength of the Black Fire Leader will increase a little, and this time Joyce really gave some swordsmen and monks, which can be regarded as a small gain.
Swordsman (Tier 7 Terran)
Attack: 10
Defense: 12
Kill: 60-90
HP: 350
The swordsman is relatively good among the soldiers of the same level, and it is a very useful class of troops both on the defensive and offensive ends, and it will be very reassuring to put it anywhere.
In the battle of Songjiang City, Da Liang had seen the combat effectiveness of the swordsmen, and with the swing of the big sword, they used their strong bodies to block the attacks of the dungeon army again and again, keeping the defense line of the entire Terran army intact.
It can be said that the addition of swordsmen in this half of the squadron has greatly improved the weak defensive ability of the Black Fire Leader.
As for the monks, of course, all of them have been transformed into magic mages.
For this kind of strategic troops, Da Liang is more and more fond of it. Now that a squad of monks has joined, Blackfire Collar's team of magic mages has finally grown in size, and their role is no longer limited to releasing auxiliary magic and then being protected.
The ranged attacks of the 12-level creatures are concentrated, and I am afraid that even the dragon will not dare to provoke them in a single situation.
Bidding farewell to Joyce, Da Liang flew away from the "Oath" with the Admiral's hope for him.
Two troop carriers have left the Pudong military port, which not only carries the troops that Joyce transferred to Da Liang, but also the soldiers recruited by Da Liang, and a small group of dark knights of Monica has also arrived at the military port and set sail with the troop carrier.
A small fleet sailed nearby as an escort fleet.
The sea area east of the battlefield has been controlled by the Pudong fleet, and under the protection of the escort fleet, Da Liang is not worried that his soldiers will be attacked.
He didn't go to inspect his newfound army, and flew with Monica to the seas to the east.
"Where are we going?" Nervous, Monica finally dared to speak, just now she saw the battleships in the air, saw the fleet that filled almost the entire sea, and the roar of artillery in the distance seemed to be a myriad of monsters roaring.
"To my fleet?"
"You also have a fleet?" Monica was taken aback, she knew the power of artillery, the black elf tribe had a few cannons bought from arms dealers, the price was very expensive, the power was very amazing, five cannons were concentrated on the high platform, with a small number of defensive troops, you could block a large army from approaching.
Now she saw that a battleship could be equipped with dozens, hundreds of guns, and the roar of the guns was really terrifying.
Da Liang didn't know Monica's thoughts, he replied casually: "A small fleet, there is no comparison with the Pudong fleet, look, they are there." ”
Entering the sea area where the Blackfire Fleet is stationed, Da Liang first sees the Silver Pegasus Knight patrolling the sky.
When the lord returned, the Silver Pegasus Knights immediately flew past the escort, and then saw the griffons on the second level of the air sentry line.
Then I saw the Blackfire Fleet parked on the sea.
One three-masted battleship, four two-masted warships, one three-masted merchant ship, and two two-masted merchant ships.
Da Liang landed on the "Blackfire" and immediately summoned Sidney and Simon.
After introducing Monica to the two heroes, Da Liang told the three of them about the war situation in the entire Shangjiang area, and then the direction of the attack led by the Black Fire.
"We need to land on Chongming Island, our task is not to attack, but to ensure our own safety first and wait for the counterattack of Shangjiang City, and then it is time for us to attack. During this time, we can't provoke much reaction from Chongming City, and it is better to occupy an inconsequential place and let them turn a blind eye to us. ”
Sidney asked, "Why is Grand Duke Howard still in Songjiang City, and he should return to Shangjiang City to command the Terran army now?" ”
Da Liang said: "How do I know what he thinks now? Anyway, Howard can't watch Joshua attack Shangjiang City, and the odds of winning this battle are extremely high, so we just need to see the opportunity to grab something. Joyce's army will arrive tomorrow, and Julian will join us the day after tomorrow. ”
The size of the Black Fire Lord's army at this time is:
Spearmen 1137, Skeletons 1789, Halberdiers 11, Archers 286, Marksmen 16, Skeleton Whippers 26, Plague Creepers 251, Griffons 52, Royal Griffons 17, Swordsmen 50, Dark Cavalry 10, Silver Pegasus Knight 75, Illusion Mage 13, Archangel 1, Frost Dragon 1; One three-masted battleship, four two-masted warships, two three-masted merchant ships, and two two-masted merchant ships.
All logistical supplies are ready, Archangel morale +1, Medal of Courage morale +1.
The Black Fire Leader army poured out, and its combat effectiveness was full and it could be fought in one battle.
Now that Da Liang has set the strategic direction of the Black Fire Leader, it is okay for the heroes of his subordinates to formulate tactics around the strategy.
As the hero with the most professional knowledge and the most familiar with the elves, Sidney first pointed to the map on the tactical table and said: "Chongming Island is flat from north to south, narrow from east to west, and Chongming City is located on the south shore of the central part of the island. If we land on the north bank, we will directly threaten Chongming City, the elves will definitely send a large army to expel us, and the west bank will be out of the protection of the Pudong fleet, and we will be attacked by the Chongming fleet. So we could only land on the eastern shore of the island.
The eastern end of Chongming Island is the Dongtan Wetland, which is not covered by forests, and even if the elves find out that we have landed and want to attack us, they will be affected by the swampy terrain. This place is far away from Chongming City, so it will not cause much reaction from the elves, and if they want to attack us, they will be attacked by our long-range strikes and aerial strikes if they are difficult to march in the swamp. So it should be safest for us to land from the east end. ”
Looking at the map and comparing it with the detailed map of the university alliance, the big highlight nodded, it is indeed very safe to land from here.
And just as Da Liang was about to give the order, Monica expressed a different opinion.
"The swampy terrain restricts the elves and also restricts us. I saw that there was no road to walk in this wetland, and our army would be limited by the swamp when they wanted to attack, while the elves could move quickly in the forest on the edge of the swamp, and we were the best targets when we were slow in the open field. ”
Yes......
Monica is right, in the swamp, the elves can't attack in, and the army of the Black Fire Leader can't rush out, it's very safe, but it's too safe, the army is trapped and can't move, and it exposes itself to the elves' noses, Da Liang's original robbery strategy can't be completed.
Sidney was a naval hero who was inconsiderate of battles on land. So since Monica can point out the inappropriateness of the landing site, does she have a better plan?
