Chapter 949: Engagement (1)

Su Jing and the others were shocked, not that the attack of the Fishman Empire was too strong, but that Su Jing and the others had already calculated in advance that the enemy's elite was less than 10 million, and in the case of lack of training, attacking the continent in this way would cause more than eighty percent of meaningless deaths.

Only when the number of fish-man elites exceeds 30 million will it form a balance with the power of the various families on the seaside, so that if more cannon fodder fish-men are dispatched, then it can be more safe to attack.

According to the standards of the empire, the royal legion is a first-level army, the family elite is the second-level elite, the soldiers of the Dao Palace are the third-level army, and the regular army of the empire is only a fourth-level army. Soldiers of various small families, that's a fifth-level army. The security forces stationed in various places are sixth-level troops.

The soldiers of the small family can crush the cannon fodder of the Fishman Empire in terms of combat effectiveness, as long as the number is about the same, basically the proportion of battle losses is very low. On the ground, the regular army of the Empire can deal with three to five times as many fish-man soldiers.

The soldiers of the Dao Palace can completely face off against the elite of the fishmen.

Now the empire has left the most soldiers trained by the Dao Palace. Daogong's overseas conquests were basically carried out by recruited troops, and most of the self-trained troops did not leave the Eastern Qin Empire.

According to Babel's calculations, the Fish-Man Empire's army will be ready for an attack for at least another month. Attacking so early, aren't you afraid of losing to death?

Fish-man, fish-man, with a fish word, breathing on the shore is a problem. Using the formation, it is not as easy as a human being.

In any case, such an attack has to be taken seriously, and it will be troublesome to be concentrated by the fishmen and break through the big city. The Great City of the Eastern Qin Empire had a population of more than one million. It would be a joke if it was eaten clean.

The newly formed Sanssouci Army was immediately assembled and ready to be dispatched, along with King Wuwei's 40,000 troops, which could appear in any coastal city within six hours to support each strategic node.

There are these 80,000 people. The enemy's elite, Su Jing can defeat it head-on. Su Jing is not alone, as long as the situation does not erode, facing the army of fish people on land, Su Jing is still sure.

He secretly dispatched troops, and on the side of the Immortal World, Su Mu had to be in charge. But the Don had to be transferred back. Mu Yinyan's role may be greater, but her intuition is better than Tang He's, and she stays in the Immortal World Realm to guard against immortals. This is also a helpless thing.

Tang He's intuition is not as good as Mu Yinyan's, and even his combat effectiveness is not as good, but his ability to lead troops to fight is several times higher than Mu Yinyan's. This person was born with leadership ability, and Su Jing was inferior to him.

In Yujing City, Su Jing let Princess Sanssouci sit in charge, and took Ying Yang to Dongyang City, a big coastal city in Xingzhou.

Dongyang City. It is a seaport city, but it is divided into two parts. One harbor, thirty miles from the sea, is another, and between the two, there is a wide gallop connection, and there are four gallop roads. The sides are planted with giant thorns. This giant thorn is artificially cultivated, and the Zhu family uses it as a cash crop.

Giant thorns, which can be used to craft weapons, are a common material in many Zhu family's specialty weapons.

It's just a giant thorn on both sides of the galloping road in Dongyang City. The surface exudes a metallic luster, and the planting is quite regular, it is a large formation, connecting the leylines, which is tighter than the defense of the city wall.

If the enemy wants to attack Chidao from both sides, it will take more time, and even if it is to penetrate the formation defense, it is meaningless, because Dongyang City is not an open structure, and you have to face the walls of Dongyang when you go to Chidao.

The information obtained by the Tower of Babel was that there was an army of about 400,000 fishmen who were directly attacking Dongyang City. In addition, on both sides of this fish-man army, there is also an army of golden millions.

Since the fish-man began a large-scale attack, the fish-man's defense in the sky has been strengthened, and many fish-man powerhouses have attacked airships, and floating warships can only reconnoiter at a high altitude, and they will be shot down if they get close.

The reason why Su Jing brought Ying Yang over and also brought a second-line army of 200,000 was because the port on the Dongyang side could not afford to be lost. The three fleets of the Zhu family were stationed here, which were originally prepared to go on an expedition to the Evil God Empire, but later because of the appearance of the army of the Fishman Empire, the trip did not take place.

The three fleets, together with hundreds of large ships, would suffer great losses if they were sunk in the port. If Su Jing didn't mobilize the elite, the Su family would have to spend more than 100,000 soldiers to defend the port, and it must be the most elite army.

As the night got late, the Burning Sun Divine Phoenix Ship that Su Jing was riding slowly landed inside the port of Dongyang City, on the land platform. The soldiers of the Zhu family were all relieved to see the fleet with the Allied logo coming.

At the edge of the harbor, a patrol of fifty men waved into the distance, knowing that the people of the fleet could not see them, but they were still happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Suddenly, ten warships flew towards this direction in unison. The patrol squad leader immediately woke up and called the surrounding squads. He was a small flag of two hundred people, and the three patrolling squads around him immediately rushed over.

"Damn, there's a fish-man landing!" the little flag shouted. He saw ten warships in the sky, all of them in combat mode. These battleships are clearly not here to fight them. Of course, the target is the fish-people that appear on the shore.

At this time, he didn't know whether it was better to fight or retreat. As a patrol flag, his mission is really just reconnaissance. If you find a large force of the enemy, you should send out an alarm signal and do not go up to engage in battle.

But it would be a shame for the Allies to come and see that they would only send signals. So this little flag is not a waste. Besides, the Zhu family has laid a large number of traps on the beach, and it is difficult for the fishmen to land.

The northern beach of Dongyang City is almost more than 30 miles wide of a sandy beach, and the terrain is gentle, suitable for fish-people to land. However, on this beach, the Zhu family dropped an unknown number of rune traps in the sand. It's a triggered rune made from a fish-man's skeleton.

The fish-man landed by the strength of the fishtail, and when he crossed the beach, he would be pierced by those runes and bleed. In the seawater, this injury is nothing. The Fish-Man has a way to stop the bleeding, but on land, it more than doubles the amount of strength the Fish-Man.

If the fish-people were to land on this beach, they would have to clear a lot of rune traps. This is not something that can be triggered by a few strong people unleashing Dao Techniques, unless the strong people unite and bomb the beach once. In that case, it will attract an attack from a large fleet. Dongyang City's long-range Dao weapons are not ornaments.

The little banner gritted his teeth and ordered his men to bypass the path and come to a makeshift fortress. There was no garrison in the fort, it was very rudimentary, but it had a basic fort, huge bluestone stacked walls, and a gauge jack above it, which could quickly erect heavy crossbows.

"My lord, we have to defend this place, I'm afraid we can't do it?" the little flag immediately asked. There are only 200 people in total, and it is hopeless to resist the army of fishmen. Fighting with the large army, there is still hope to survive, and if you are stationed here alone, you will definitely not be able to escape.

"First, it is our duty to observe the situation of the enemy at the closest distance and then report it. It's safer for us to be inside the fortress than outside. Second, if we go back now, we will immediately be put into the first sequence, and without preparation, we will be the first soldiers to face the battle. ”

Everyone immediately had nothing to say, the flag of this small flag is very smart, and it is clear that it is a duty here, and if you go back, you will inevitably be the first to fight. So it's better to be here, but as for security? Isn't there an Allied floating warship coming?

A six-path divine warship flew above the fortress, opened the bottom hatch, and a qi refiner jumped down with more than a thousand puppets. The Qi Refiner glanced at it, saw the banner of this group of small flags, and said, "This thousand two hundred divine puppets are here to support you. If there are only two hundred puppets left, you can retreat, and you can stand up here for a while. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Xiao Qi's banner glanced at the mark on this qi refiner, the same as him, it was the same level, but the other party was a qi refiner, he was just a martial artist, and the difference was big. So he used honorifics.

Boom! Boom!

On the Six Divine Ships, a box is being dropped under the Xianglu. The Qi Refiner said: "I see that you are carrying heavy crossbows, but in the face of fish people, small heavy crossbows are not enough, to support your two sets of large repeaters, will they be assembled?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Excellency!" The patrol team of the Zhu family was so excited, two sets of large repeater crossbows, plus 1,200 puppets, it was not a problem to hold this place for a while. This is not the focus of the enemy's attack, everyone's task is to observe the fish-man army up close, and then summarize the information and submit it.

After the Qi Refiner finished arranging, he left another gourd pill, which was not very good, it was just something for ordinary soldiers to save on the battlefield. In fact, the soldiers of the Zhu family, each of them also carried one. The Six Divine Ships were originally used to transport puppets, elite soldiers, and supplies. After the Qi Refiner flew up and returned to the battleship, the small flag on the ground had already opened the box.

Two sets of large repeater crossbows, mounted on the fort's strongest turrets. Then there were the small heavy crossbows they carried, ten in all. The Zhu family is also rich, every soldier has a compound bow, and it is a rune bow and arrow, and the power has not increased much, but it just makes it easy for soldiers to draw bows.

The boxes that were dropped were opened one by one, and some of them turned out to be dimensional boxes, densely packed with crossbow arrows in them, and the soldiers excitedly connected this kind of box directly to the card slot of the large repeater.

Self-loading arrows, this kind of equipment, they only touched a few times when they were trained. The Allies can even use it to support friendly forces!

The fort is still a few miles away from the beach and far from the city of Dongyang. To the south is a formation formed by giant thorns, and to the west is the plain, which may be where the Fishman Empire's troops pass through, but the fortress is built between hundreds of boulders, and the terrain is very good, condescending, and you can shoot. If the enemy wants to attack, he has to march through the gaps in the huge rocks, and it is impossible to organize a charge or anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the fortress was relatively safe, this little flag would not dare to stay here. Similarly, when retreating, they can only retreat to the Thorn Forest, and if they go west, the people in Dongyang City will not open a side door for him. (To be continued......)
