Start with an Archangel

After marching for a day and a night, Daliang's army of zombies finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Shidongkou is a wharf adjacent to the Yangtze River. Since this wharf can allow some small ships to dock, ship owners who cannot find berths in Shangjiang City and Chongming City will choose to dock here. With the tax revenue from the dock, Shidongkou dock has become an important financial source for Baoshan City.

In order to protect this cornucopia of gold coins that continuously supplied Baoshan City, the academic warlock nobles built a city wall around Shidongkou Pier.

The army of zombies coming out from Jiading City has long been known to the nobles of Baoshan City. Even though the army of Shangjiang City has gathered at the border, Baoshan City still sent a considerable army to guard the entrance of the stone cave.

High in the sky, Daliang rode a royal griffon to investigate and take photos of the entrance to the cave below. However, the defenders at the entrance of the stone cave were not going to let a royal griffon knight explore their military secrets unscrupulously, so a monster flew towards Daliang with a small group of gargoyles.

Knowing the speed of the competition, the royal griffon was no match for the ninth-level monster. Daliang immediately turned around and fled. The monster was afraid of being ambushed and did not dare to leave the city wall too far. After chasing for a while, he retreated.

Outside the city wall at the entrance of Shidong, Daliang's army of zombies stood in large groups in a 1-3-3-3 formation outside the artillery range of the city wall. The Griffin squadron stopped behind the army of zombies, and those who had already entered the sequence The cavalry squad, led by Simon, stood behind the gryphon.

Daliang fell from the sky and asked Shu Xiao beside him: "Are you at school or at home?"

"Of course I'm at home for this kind of fun war drama... Don't worry, I locked the door, turned off all my cell phones, and even locked the windows from the inside to make sure no one can disturb us..."

This... I should be happy about this, but why do I feel a little scared?

"Well... well done." Daliang praised Shu Xiao's dedication, but reserved his own opinions on the process. He continued: "Now we gather in the living room and use portable game terminals to go online. This war It’s more difficult to fight, so we must cooperate well.”

"Okay, Master!" Shu Xiao immediately logged off.

In the living room, the closed curtains made the light in the room very dark. Da Liang and Shu Xiao sat side by side on the sofa. On the coffee table opposite them, a stereoscopic projector projected on them the high-altitude photo of the cave entrance that Da Liang had just taken in a hurry.

The north side of the stone cave entrance faces the river, and an arc-shaped city wall surrounds the entire dock. There are three forts on the city wall, and it is vaguely visible that five artillery pieces are placed on each fort. As for other troop arrangements, they cannot be identified due to blurry photos. But judging from the soldiers sent out to drive away the entrance to the Daliangshi Cave, the monsters and gargoyles must be among the defenders' troops.

On the Shangjiang River outside Shidongkou Pier, more than 20 two-masted class warships of the Baoshan Fleet have all arrived. To the east of the Baoshan Fleet on the river, more than 20 two-masted class warships under the banner of the Pudong Fleet have already lined up. The battle line stopped all ships traveling in the Yangtze River.

Daliang pointed to the stereoscopic projection photo and said: "This is the defense map of the entire Shidongkou. The Pudong fleet on the river is a friendly force, but unless the Shidongkou defenders take the initiative to attack them, they will not participate in the battle. How do you think the attack should be successful? Take down Shidongkou Pier?"

Shu Xiao looked at the photo and said: "The three forts on the city wall at Shidongkou are a great threat to our army, especially since our main force is the zombies. If they move slowly, they will be hit by more shells. Moreover, these three forts are set up separately. There are three points on the arc-shaped city wall, one at each end of the east and west, and one at the center of the arc. No matter which direction we attack from, we will be attacked by at least two forts. But our number of air units is too small, and there is no Use the remaining energy to raid the fort to eliminate the threat from the artillery."

Da Liang stared at the three forts on the wall at the entrance of Shidong and fell into thinking. He had seen the power of artillery in the game. When attacking Feichen Island, although the dwarves' shelling did not hit the skeleton soldiers who landed, they still killed some skeleton soldiers walking in the sea under the resistance of the sea after falling into the sea.

This is the power of artillery in naval battles. The power of artillery in land battles is still huge. Sidney, who has intermediate gunnery skills, said that when an experienced gunner fires a gun on land, he can let the flying shells bounce on the solid ground to form a ricochet with a low trajectory. The killing range of this kind of shells It's linear, and all the soldiers on a line will die if hit or wounded if hit.

Combining the turret with the academy's already advantageous long-range troops, it would be difficult for the zombie troops to rush under the city wall.

Daliang also thought about letting the zombies bypass the city wall from the bottom of the river and attack the pier directly. However, the water inside the pier was so deep that the zombies could not get ashore at all. Facing attacks from the shore and warships, their deaths would only be worse.

While Daliang was thinking about tactics, Shu Xiao pointed at the Pudong fleet on the river and said, "Since these are friendly forces, can we let them cooperate? They don't need to participate in the attack, they just need to move together."

Daliang is the baron of Shangjiang City, the popular man in front of Joyce, the admiral of the Pudong fleet, and he also has the admiral's personal soldiers in his hands. Using chicken feathers as arrows, Daliang believed that he could persuade the Pudong fleet to make coordinated moves.

"It should be possible. I still have some reputation in the Pudong fleet."

With Da Liang's affirmative answer, Shu Xiao said: "Then Master, let the ships of the Pudong Fleet move to the south bank, and we will approach the south bank and attack the entrance of the stone cave from the side. In this case, we only need to face the east fort and the central fort. , the east fort can attack us from the front, while the central fort needs to fire diagonally to the north, and it can hit the Pudong fleet accidentally. If the defenders at Shidongkou do not want the Pudong fleet to join the battle, the central fort will not dare to fire, and we will only Just face a fort."

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

Professional knowledge allowed Shu Xiao to find the best attack route at a glance. Moreover, with the Pudong Fleet protecting the formation from the side, the Baoshan Fleet could not attack the flanks of the zombie army. At the same time, attacking from the east along the river bank, the defenders' long-range troops could The number put into battle was also greatly reduced.

Of course, the narrow battlefield environment also makes it impossible to deploy the zombie army. Only one group of zombies can be put into an attack.

This is better. If you can use one brigade of zombies to capture the city wall, you will definitely not need two brigade.

The offensive route is determined, and the only thing left to compete is the commander's on-the-spot command. Daliang and Shu Xiao turned their attention to the game, and the army of zombies collectively moved towards the city wall on the east side of the stone cave entrance.

The footsteps of ten thousand walking corpses shook the entire Shidongkou Pier.

The war is about to break out.
