Chapter 68: The Fortress on the Lake
The Great Battle of the Great Yongguo Zhuhai is over, it took a total of fifteen days, all the Abyss Demon Army was killed, the Abyss Rift was sealed, and a post will be established on top of the seal, and a legion will be stationed there.
From here, we can also see a little bit of the strong control of the nine countries within the country, serious corruption does not mean that the national strength is weak!
However, this storm that swept through the Dayong Kingdom has just begun, and the abyss riot has appeared within the borders, and this matter always needs someone to stand up and take responsibility, and it is not just a few backstabbing men who can explain the past. It's just a pity that this vast bamboo sea, the once green waves have become a scorched earth in the war, and it may take more than ten years to recover.
A logistics adjutant of the cavalry regiment who was about to retire saw a business opportunity in the iron-eating beasts, and after the war, in the name of the legion, he forcibly recruited all the ownerless iron-eating beasts, whose reputation was compensation after the war, and then released them back into the mountains after the recovery of Zhuhai. Some people are happy about this and some people are angry, happy that they want to eat iron beasts, obviously they can buy it directly with money, and it is also trained, so it goes without saying that they are angry, they can prostitute for nothing, why spend money!
As the war progresses in various places, players gradually begin to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield, from the beginning of influencing friendly formations like headless flies, to now being able to choose which class to follow according to their own combat style.
Of course, for players who don't like to fight, this Abyssal Riot is just a talking point for a relationship with the natives.
……
As we enter September, the impact of the rainy season is still continuing, flash floods have broken out in many places in the Canglin Mountains, and Jiaolong Village is busy with a major project.
"Quick, bring it up here."
"Tearing it all down affects the etching."
"Hurry up, isn't it just a little rain, rubbing something!"
If the problem of military strength is not solved, then it can only strengthen the armament to improve the overall combat effectiveness, and in order to avoid being cut off by the demon army The connection between the territory and the reinforcements, Zhang Sheng, after obtaining the consent of General Mu, connected six of the eight building ships with two ships and a flat bridge to form a huge hexagonal fortress.
Mobility and flexibility were completely abandoned in exchange for a stronger defense, as well as a more rational space for the arrangement of armaments.
In the romance, Boss Cao's iron cable boat is a typical negative teaching material, but in the game world with the background of Wugao, it is a tactic that embodies high-end technology.
The grandmaster led a group of psionic researchers and apprentices to depict etchings on the fortress, the larger the scale of the protective etching combination, the stronger the protective effect, this will be a movable water fortress, the array of soldiers, the distribution of ordnance is more reasonable, and the huge size can better resist the wind and waves, and the attack and defense are integrated. Conventional fire attacks are completely useless in the face of such a behemoth, when it is like attacking a pontoon bridge with a fireboat, and it is also a narrow pontoon bridge that is difficult to defend.
Zhang Sheng used all the newly mined spirit stones in the territory for this, and took out the only chalcedony crystal that was currently excavated in the spirit stone mine, and built a small spiritual energy core in the center to absorb the reserve spiritual energy, strengthen the upper limit of the overall etching, and also serve as an auxiliary power.
The effect of this self-made water fortress is far inferior to the genuine product created according to the drawings, and the war equipment equipped with it has not been optimized due to the influence of Jiaolong Village's productivity, but it still can't be otherwise, it is powerful, after all, it is presided over by a grandmaster-level psionic researcher.
……
On September 5, what was supposed to be light rain turned cloudy, and a thick fog spread over Jiaolong Lake.
Here it comes?
Although Zhuang Ye's master-level weather prediction cannot change the weather, with the addition of the ancient astrological observatory, he can accurately know what the weather should be in a place.
Such a strange change, doesn't it mean that the demon army is coming!
The outwardly unrefined fortress spans the lake, and visibility in the dense fog is extremely low, less than three meters. The soldiers were lined up all around, carefully guarded, Zhang Sheng, Mu Zhiqu, and Yan Guo all stood on the top floor of the central building ship with Qin Liangyu, under the banner of the expeditionary commander.
For Qin Liangyu's ability, Mu Zhiqu still quite agrees, the combined forces of the two sides are less than 12,000, in this case there is no point in fighting for command, at this time he is a simple military general can increase the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
"I can't see anything." Yan Guo's eyes widened, as if he wanted to look into the distance through the thick mist.
"Don't look with your eyes, see with God!" Mu Zhiqu never forgot to teach his disciples anytime and anywhere.
"What did you see, master?"
God? It's still too far away for the current Yan Guo.
"A light breeze blows across the lake."
...... "You don't have to look at it, do you?"
Shrouded in dense fog, the reconnaissance power of the air cavalry was blocked to the maximum, and it was impossible to detect the enemy's traces at the first time.
The wind is getting stronger and the fog is blowing......
"It's coming!" At the same time as General Mu spoke, the cloud pattern disc dragon spear in his hand stabbed out, and in a low dragon groan, a dragon-shaped spear broke through the dense fog and cleared a visible passage.
Qin Liangyu instantly mobilized the power of the army to cover the entire fortress, forming the first layer of protection. At this time, everyone saw the ...... of large ballista arrows, stone bullets, and special projectiles, and all kinds of strange attacks were flying towards the fortress, and General Mu's blow destroyed a piece of attack, but there were many more flying over.
The dense fog faded at this moment, and a large number of fighting ships appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the next battle no longer needed the cover of the fog, and the demon army was also dispersed by the wind.
With a rousing sound of horns, the fortress began to counterattack at the first time.
All kinds of attacks landed on the hull of the ship, and suddenly a spiritual pattern appeared, and the burning flames were also extinguished by the soldiers with fire extinguishing tools at the first time, and the energy impact was absorbed by the power of the army before it broke out.
What surprised Zhang Sheng the most was the demon soldiers who were thrown over, some of them did not come to adjust their movements in the air, and fell directly to death on the hull, and some were lucky to survive, but they were all injured to varying degrees, and their combat power was greatly reduced, and they even simply lost their combat effectiveness, only a small part of the landing action was perfect, and the position was also perfect, and after rolling forward to offset the impact, they directly started a fight with the surrounding defenders.
Do you have such a flowery time!
To be honest, this kind of tactic, Zhang Sheng has only seen when facing the army of the undead, and the army of the dead has war equipment specially matched with this tactic.
The demon army doesn't take the lives of soldiers too seriously, right?
But soon Zhang Sheng discovered the problem, those demon pawns who fought with the soldiers were completely crazy, and their whole bodies emitted black smoke visible to the naked eye, completely indistinguishable from friend and foe, even if there were robes around, they were also cut, and they were completely unreasonable beasts.
Advance to the Failed Product!
Zhang Sheng's mind immediately came to mind with a special class of troops in the abyss-the Demon God Guard!
The ninth level of combat power evaluation, the promotion method is very different from that of the Terran troops, the Terran arms will be promoted successfully if the conditions meet the standards, and those who do not meet the standards will never be able to go up. But the promotion of the Demon God Guard is to accommodate more abyssal breath, and the failure rate is extremely high, once it fails, it is the situation in front of you, and you can only deal with it.
It's just that the other party's treatment method makes him a little unhappy, when he is here is a garbage recycling station!
I have to admit that this kind of monster that is not afraid of pain, is not afraid of death, has a hideous face, and is completely insane, and the combat power is still quite impressive. But this kind of attack is too, and it's really not suitable for the living, even if it's crazy.
Compared with the attack of the demon army, the counterattack of the fortress was more violent, and the war equipment on the five ships of the expeditionary force was dismantled and fixed in a more suitable position, and the angle of attack was more perfect.
The fleet of the demon army consisted of more than twenty fighting ships, and the power of the two armies was also opened, and the power of the two armies was connected together, enveloping the entire battlefield. But obviously, the other commander's mobilization of the strength of the army is far inferior to Qin Liangyu, and it is only an entry-level one.
Some sorcerers dancing the sacrificial dance can be seen on the opposing ship, and it is they who summoned the fog before, and the wind now.
Borrowing the wind, spreading fog, praying for sunshine and rain......
To a certain extent, Taoist priests and wizards can rely on numbers to replace some of the functions of strategists on the battlefield, and if there is a celestial altar, it is even more possible to suppress the strategists.
But how can the defensive capabilities of the fighting ships compare with the fortresses? After a few rounds of fighting, three fighting ships were smashed to pieces, and all the surviving demon pawns fell into the water, struggling to swim towards the other fighting ships.
The other party soon discovered this as well, and drove the fighting ship to press in, wanting to engage in a full-scale boarding battle. The building ship is taller than the fighting ship, and there are also female walls, but they are still far less exaggerated than the regular city walls.
As the fighting ship approached, the bow regiment, which had been waiting for orders behind the shooting hole, began to shoot, just ordinary arrows, and did not use precious burst arrows, but unfortunately the number of archers was limited, and the effective damage that could be inflicted was even more limited. Closer, you can attack with a powerful slapstick.
Qin Liangyu naturally wouldn't give the demon army a chance to board the ship, and the military order was conveyed to the group of psionic researchers as soon as possible, and the psionic core that was placed in the entire fortress etched core, and the psionic core that was heavily protected in the secret room burst out with a burst of brilliant light, and the spiritual patterns swam on the surface and inside of the crystal clear core, and the majestic spiritual energy lit up the etching of the entire fortress, and the diffuse spiritual light and the spiritual patterns that appeared from time to time made the entire fortress a little mysterious.
The seemingly bulky water fortress rushed out at an exaggerated speed in an instant, and the ships that collided with it were shattered at the touch of a button, but the fortress only rushed a few hundred meters before slowing down again, and after a while, it collided again.
After several attempts, the demon army fleet had no good way to take this water fortress, but they lost more than half of their own, and the strong group could not break through the blockade of the general holding the divine weapon, so they had no choice but to retreat.
The weakness of the water fortress was revealed at this moment, and it was definitely impossible to catch up, and the upper limit of the spiritual energy that the small psionic core could reserve was not high, and it could only allow the fortress to carry out a few short-distance burst impacts, and it could not change the nature of the water fortress with strong defense and weak initiative. When the reserves of the psionic core are depleted, if it is only a natural recovery, it will take a long time, and this process can be shortened by consuming spirit stones.
In any case, the first battle of the water fortress was perfect, and there was no problem holding this section of water for the time being.
