Chapter 160: 900,000 vs. 600,000 Advantage Is Mine

On a hill far away from Shark Castle City, Agucos observed the battlefield from a distance, and obviously found that the enemy's artillery fire had become more and more sparse these days, and the frequency of calling those ironclad battleships for support was becoming less and less, and it seemed that the ammunition on those ironclad battleships had been almost consumed.

"In three days, we should be able to launch a general attack!" After some calculations, Agukos finally decided to launch a general attack in three days.

As a veteran of combat experience, Agukos knew very well that although these enemies from Roaring Island had occupied some territory on the Central Continent, they were obviously still unstable, especially the weapons and ammunition of the opponent's artillery, which were not easy to manufacture at a glance, and they completely needed to be transported from the rear.

However, it was some distance from Roaring Island, and some merchant ships had tried to go there before, but it took a few months, and if you came and went, it would have been more than half a year.

And even if the opponent's warship is faster, it will take at least two or three months to come and go! So it stands to reason that he has plenty of time to slowly deplete the enemy's ammo.

"What about that guy Jin Yao? Haven't come back yet? ”

Since the general offensive is about to be launched, then it is definitely necessary to start gathering troops in advance, especially those top masters, which are even more indispensable, otherwise, without them to contain the enemy masters, it will be difficult for ordinary soldiers to win this battle!

However, that Jin Yao, as a top master who took the initiative to join the army, disappeared without a trace after fighting the opponent's boss once before, and he sent someone to look for it for a long time but didn't find it, and it seemed that he probably escaped from the battle.

This made Agukos despise him for a while, after all, the other party was also a great master of the Grandmaster Yae, and he used to boast that he was invincible in the world, but it turned out that he really went to the battlefield but it was this virtue, and he beat the other party to the point of being frightened, and he didn't dare to show his face again.

It seems that he felt the inner complaint of Agucos, and this time after the soldiers went to search, they really found the traces of this guy again.

However, compared to the flamboyance when he first appeared, Jin Yao at this time was much more low-key, wearing a gray robe on his body, covering the golden armor on his body, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

When the mad lion saw the other party's dress, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yo! How can our Lord Jin Yao learn to keep a low profile! It's not like you're scared, is it? ”

"Even if I'm scared! You don't know how terrible that guy is, you can do it! Jin Yao heard the ridicule of the mad lion, and immediately replied, just looking at his previous flamboyant style, you can also know that the relationship between this guy and other people will definitely not be good, this mad lion is obviously one of the people who does not deal with him.

"Huh! I came this time as an observation group, and it is impossible to go up, otherwise I will run out of troops, and it will be difficult for me to return to China to explain! The mad lion didn't eat the other party's agitation, and responded with a smile, directly indicating his identity as a melon-eating crowd.

For the quarrel between these two, Agukos didn't mean to come forward to persuade them, after all, one of these two was the younger brother of the queen's mother, and the other was the general of the Blood Lion Empire, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them!

What he can do now is to regroup his troops as soon as possible and prepare to launch a general attack on Shark Castle City, the emperor of the Blue Dragon Empire has already determined that it is there, as long as he can break through Shark Castle City and kill it, the other enemy forces will become a plate of scattered sand, and it will be much easier to deal with it later.

While Agukos was busy gathering his troops, the sky was getting darker, and the army of fierce beasts that had left a large number of corpses under the city walls still had no intention of retreating, but continued to launch a fierce attack in the night.

This is also what Agu Kost ordered, these are the last few days, he must give the opposing defenders more offensive pressure, mobilize a large number of fierce beasts and cannon fodder shifts under the non-stop onslaught, so that the other party has no chance to breathe, completely exhaust the last bit of ammunition of the opponent and the physical strength and energy of the soldiers.

I have to say that although this trick of Agucos is old-fashioned, it is indeed useful, especially when there are almost inexhaustible beast cannon fodder in this central continent.

And Guo Dafu, from the other party's abnormal behavior, deduced that the day when the other party launched a general offensive was approaching.

After sending the dark green to reconnoitre, they found the assembled army near Shark Castle City.

This discovery made Guo Dafu also feel a lot of pressure, and now he only hopes that the supply fleet will arrive as scheduled tomorrow, otherwise if he continues to do this, he will really be a little unbearable, and he can only take the army and people to board the battleship and evacuate.

Fortunately, the supply fleet did not have any further incidents, and arrived at the harbor of Shark Castle at dawn the next day.

Su Li, who had long known that Guo Dafu had serious ammunition consumption on their side, specially let the supply fleet carry a large amount of various types of ammunition, and in addition, he also brought 50,000 elite soldiers and 500,000 undead soldiers who had been armed.

Now there are about three billion undead soldiers gathered in the rear, but these undead soldiers also need to be armed, otherwise just let these guys go into battle with their bare hands, it will not be possible for those fierce beast opponents who are stronger and more numerous.

These 500,000 undead warriors who were sent were already armed, and unlike other elite human soldiers, these undead warriors were not eligible to enjoy the extraordinary equipment, which were just some ordinary weapons and equipment made of military steel, among which the soldiers and pikemen were wearing a set of heavy full-body plate armor with an average armor thickness of five millimeters, and a hardwood spear with a body wrapped in steel and a straight-edged steel knife, of which the spear was its main weapon, and the steel knife was the secondary weapon, Most of the time, these zombie pikemen will fight in formations with spears, and steel knives are rarely used.

Because when the steel knife is used, it also means that its spear array is scattered by the enemy, and it is not far from the real rout.

And those skeleton musketeers are equipped with a set of light plate armor with an average armor thickness of only 2.5 mm, and the weapon is a demon-destroying flintlock rifle and a triangular military thorn, and the streamlined weapons and equipment make it also carry more ammunition, now every skeleton musketeer can carry a full sixty pieces of ammunition, these ammunition are measured in advance by the workers in the rear, and they are packed in a cardboard shell, and the soldiers can use it with it, saving a lot of loading steps, Moreover, it avoids the situation that the soldier can reload the gunpowder by himself during the battle, because the panic will cause too little or too much charge, and greatly reduces the possibility of the musket malfunctioning due to these mistakes.

Guo Dafu was also relieved to see the supply fleet arrive in time, this time he transported so much ammunition, enough for him to squander here for two or three months, and the 500,000 undead soldiers were even more like timely rain, these undead soldiers were originally positioned as garrison troops, and their defensive ability was far stronger than their offensive ability. In order to ensure that Guo Dafu continued to lead the army to attack the city in front of the rear.

Previously, due to the need to defend various towns, the elite soldiers in Guo Dafu's hands were all dragged down, and they were completely unable to continue to attack the city.

Compared with the joy on Guo Dafu's side, Agukos was completely dumbfounded after learning the news.

He didn't expect that the other party's supply fleet would come so quickly, and it had only been a month to go back and forth between Roaring Island and the Central Continent.

If he had known that the enemy's supply fleet would come so soon, then he could have launched a general attack a few days earlier, at that time, although there were still some ammunition left in various cities, but there were still more than 900,000 elite soldiers left in his hands, and he could use up the last bit of ammunition of the opponent just by relying on this large number of troops.

And now, the opposing supply fleet has arrived, and the ammunition and troops of each city will be replenished, and if you want to continue the attack now, you will only run into a bloody scalp.

Just when Agukos felt a dilemma because of the sudden change in the situation, Guo Dafu's side decisively asked for the 50,000 elite soldiers and 500,000 undead soldiers who had been replenished this time, and then formed an army of 600,000 with the original 50,000 soldiers in Shark Castle City, and took the initiative to go out of the city and quickly approached the army of the Golden Eagle Empire.

This is mainly due to Guo Dafu's consideration that other cities have also become very dilapidated due to the continuous attacks of the enemy during this time, and the loss of troops is more than on his side, at this time, if the commander of the Golden Eagle Empire gives up attacking Shark Fort City and concentrates his forces to attack other cities, those cities may not be able to withstand it.

It just so happened that now that the reinforcements were also coming, Guo Dafu decided to turn the passive into the active, directly turned the defense into the offensive, and led the army to take the initiative.

According to the observation during this time, Guo Dafu also found that the marching speed of the opponent's troops was far inferior to that of the army under his command, so he led the army to take the initiative to attack at this time, and he was completely sure that he would be able to catch up with the opponent, so that the opponent had to respond in a hurry.

Agukos was indeed a little caught off guard by the enemy's unconventional move.

However, he soon regained his composure and immediately sent a reconnaissance team to reconnoiter the specific movements of the enemy troops.

According to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance force, after the opponent's army left the city, it did come directly in the direction where his own army was, the goal was very clear, it seemed that he had already locked the location of his army, and the opponent's marching speed was also very fast, at least one and a half times that of the Golden Eagle Empire's army, and even if he wanted to get rid of the other party, he couldn't do it.

Agukos was not too surprised that the other party was able to lock the position of his own army early, after all, his side of the army of more than 900,000 people gathered, and the movement was too big to be completely hidden.

What really gave him a headache was the other party's astonishing marching speed, in the face of the opponent's marching speed, he didn't want to fight this battle, and he couldn't avoid it at all.

Fortunately, according to the reconnaissance, the opponent's strength is only about 600,000, while his side still has more than 900,000 troops, and he still has an advantage in terms of strength.

In addition, the other party took the initiative to go out of the city and go deep into the inland area, without the protection of the strong city walls and the large-caliber heavy artillery fire support of those ironclad ships, the combat power will definitely be greatly reduced, and the two sides will fight a fair battle face to face, and they will not necessarily lose.

After figuring this out, Agukos quickly gathered his generals and held an urgent pre-war mobilization meeting to explain the situation to everyone.

finally concluded: "A few days ago, we have been relying on those fierce beasts and cannon fodder to make a small fuss, and we have only been watching the play in the back, presumably the soldiers below are also suffocated!" Since the enemy dares to take the initiative to attack this time, then we will meet them head-on, otherwise if we continue to avoid and fight, it will also damage the morale of our Golden Eagle Empire army!" ”

"That's right! Marshal, 900,000 against 600,000, the advantage is mine! Our army will win this battle! Let's ask the marshal to assign us combat missions! One of Agucos' cronies, as soon as his voice fell, immediately said very cooperatively.
