The walking corpses of the ten brigades slowly moved outside the east wall of the stone cave entrance, and the ten phalanxes lined up in a line against the river bank.

During the entire movement of the army, the defenders inside the cave entrance did not make any distracting attacks, only more than 100 gargoyles flew against the walls as a deterrent to the attackers.

Gargoyle (Academic Level 3 Creature)

Attack: 6

Defense: 6

Damage: 20-30

HP: 160

Gargoyles are constructs researched by academic warlocks, lifeless but mindful, unable to resurrect and affected by morale. As a Level 3 creature with the ability to fly, the prolific Gargoyle brings a variety of tactical changes to the academy's army.

In the process of the movement of the walking corpse army, Da Liang had already reached a tactical cooperation with the Pudong fleet on the river, and more than 20 warships shrank to the south bank, one by one sticking to the shore to cooperate with the attack of the walking corpse army.

Sure enough, the actions of the Pudong fleet caused panic among the defenders at the mouth of the stone cave. Baoshan City, which was overwhelmed by the large army, had clearly issued an order, and the defenders at the entrance of the stone cave were not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Pudong fleet under any circumstances, and the central battery was no longer able to bombard the attacking enemy troops from the side due to the problem of the angle of fire, and the long-range troops on the city wall were also greatly affected.

Standing at the back of the line, the royal griffin held up his binoculars, from which he could clearly see that there were many elves and red-robed mages on the city walls, which were the ranged troops of the defenders.

Elf (Academy Soldier)

Attack: 2

Defense: 2

Damage: 10-20

HP: 50

(Shooter, the weapon is a gunpowder canister)

Red Robe Mage (Rank 7 of the Academy)

Attack: 11

Defense: 8

Kill: 70-90

HP: 250

Racial characteristics, melee attack power is not reduced, and the mana consumption of your heroes is reduced by 2

(The spell-casting unit, the main force and backbone of the academy army, in low-intensity warfare, the academy's tactics basically revolve around the red-robed mage)

The characteristics of the academic army are that there are many ranged troops, and a large number of elves and red-robed mages with strong attack power are a headache for all armies. The Academy's powerful ranged attack can easily suppress the opponent's ranged troops, forcing the enemy to abandon their defenses and choose to advance, thus falling into the encirclement of other units of the Academy.

At this time, on the city wall on the east side of the stone cave entrance, there were already standing little elves and red-robed mages, among which there were also a few second-level soldier great spirits and eighth-level archmages who had been promoted to the ranks.

And there are only three magic mages in Da Liang's army that he brought with his armor cards.

Fighting long-range, Da Liang is definitely not the opponent of the defenders of the stone cave entrance.

Just now, the walking corpse army was not attacked by the defenders when they moved, which also shows that the strength of the defenders is not strong, at least they did not have the strength to defeat the walking corpse army in the field.

Since the opponent intends to defend the entrance of the stone cave, let's attack.

With a wave of his hand, a thousand walking corpses in the first sequence began to move slowly, swinging their stiff bodies and holding rusty kitchen knives in their hands, walking towards the wall of the stone cave entrance pier.

The war began, the elves filled their canisters with gunpowder and projectiles, and the red-robed mages raised their staffs to condense magic rays.

On the east battery, the spirits and stone men in charge of the five cannons completed all the preparations for firing, and aimed the muzzles of the cannons at the approaching army of walking corpses.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The artillery with the longest range was the first to fire. Five smoothbore guns spewed out tongues of fire up to a meter long, and the smoke was mixed with red debris, and one shell after another was pushed out by the huge chamber pressure.

Five shells hit the walking corpse squad with precision, and the shells bounced and rolled into a path paved with broken limbs.

Da Liang pursed his lips, although he had heard that the artillery was very powerful, he imagined that this kind of solid shell should be far from the lethality of the flowering shell, but the gunners of the defenders had mastered the technique of making the solid shell bounce. He could clearly see that the shells did not shoot directly at the array of walking corpses, but on the rocky ground not far in front of the walking corpses.

The cannonball bounced and slammed forward into the marching corpse's formation at shoulder height, killing everything it hit in a linear and repetitive bounce.

Withdraw...... It must be impossible, Da Liang did not have the army to suppress the fort in his hands, so he could only fill this section of the road with the life of the walking corpse.

The walking corpses, who were not affected by morale, did not pause because of this round of shelling, and they still maintained a uniform pace, moving forward step by step...... Move.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The reloaded cannon rang out again, plowed the marching corpse again.

"Master," seeing that his walking corpses were being ravaged by enemy artillery, Shu Xiao said anxiously: "Let me take the griffin to end their battery, so that they can easily open fire, and we will suffer great losses." ”

Da Liang said indifferently: "Your griffin rushing over is to send it to death, and a turret is not worth my exchange for 100 griffins." When the griffin is dead, the gargoyles and gods in the cave will rush out, and if I am killed by them, these brainless walking corpses will be slaughtered. Remember your duties, the walking corpse is in charge of attacking and the griffin is in charge of defense. ”

"Okay then......" Not being able to show her skills made Shu Xiao a little helpless, but she didn't dare to disobey Da Liang's order and act without permission.

Hearing that Shu Xiao's tone was still a little unconvinced, Da Liang explained: "Actually, the artillery is not difficult to deal with, they can only carry out line killing, if we let the walking corpses move a little scattered, we can greatly reduce the losses." My thousand walking corpses were sent forward to their deaths, in order to test the firepower of the defenders' ranged units, and to pile up some corpses under the city. ”

Shu Xiao couldn't believe that Da Liang casually let a thousand walking corpses die, these are all third-level soldiers, tens of thousands of gold coins. Such a generous gesture made Shu Xiao can't help but praise: "Master really has the style of a general......"

"Hahaha......" Da Liang laughed in his mouth, but blood was dripping in his heart, these soldiers are all brothers, they are all brothers. Do you think my brother is willing to let them die, who let that old money fan only give 10,000 walking corpses, and there is not a single siege equipment. Brother can only use the corpses of the walking corpses to pile a way up the city wall.

As the cannon fired, the mages and spirits on the walls joined in the assault on the walking corpse.

"Bang ......"

The gunpowder canister sprayed thumb-sized projectiles, shooting densely at the walking corpses who didn't know how to dodge.

The mage's magic rays shoot out of the staff.

An overwhelming array of ranged attacks, knocking over the walking corpses to the ground in rows.

Bullying Da Liang had no ranged units, and the gargoyles in the air also pounced, forming a black whirlwind, and with each blow, they swept away a group of walking corpses into the air, tearing and biting the walking corpses to pieces.

Soon, a large group of walking corpses were all killed.

"Master, it seems that these thousand walking corpses did not rush to the city, did they die in vain?"
