Chapter 23 Tactical Confrontation

"It is absolutely impossible for the little bastard to rush in." I said confidently: "Isengard's defense force is extremely powerful. The big cannon of the wolfman can cause effective damage because of its large caliber. We don't care about artillery. The real problem is the landing battle of personnel. Isinger's firepower is indeed indestructible. Even if Tianzhao's clone appears, it will definitely be dead as long as it is hit by our main weapon. But if Matsumoto Masahiro plays tricks Naval tactics are enough. Our super weapon attacks are very lethal, but the total number of troops assembled by Masamoto Matsumoto this time is too terrifying. Even if we can cause huge casualties to the RB people, if Masamoto Matsumoto does not care about the casualties, then What should we do? If he is determined to fill up Isengard with a crowd of people, should we really change with him?"

"This is also a problem." Rose thought for a moment and then asked Eagle: "What other troops can our guild use?"

"The Air Force's structure is basically still there, and casualties mainly occur in the Army. Now the ground forces have 600,000 troops in top condition and 200,000 lightly wounded personnel who can participate in the war. If an urban war really breaks out, we can still mobilize 10 Tens of thousands of seriously injured people. If you still can't withstand it, then use the point military formation to temporarily transform the eight million citizens in the Essinger Twin Cities into reserve forces to participate in the war. However, this method can only save emergency, and I don't think rb people If they can get in, they might be able to climb up to the upper deck, but entering the inner city is bullshit, that's simply impossible."

"I also know that the possibility is very slim, but it is always good to be prepared first. The soldiers who survive to the end are always the most prepared."

"Report." An NPC guard suddenly ran into the command room.

"What's up?"

"Black Qilin just left."

"Left? Where did he go? Did he return to China or is he in RB?"

"I don't know." The guard reached out and handed me a very beautiful rosewood box. "This is what Black Qilin left behind when he left. He said this is for you to eat. He also said that he has some personal matters that need to be resolved. Let us tell you that the snake has been seriously injured by him and will not appear in this battle. , so you can rest assured.”

"You always know the direction when you left, right?" Rose asked.

The guard pointed upward, and everyone nodded in understanding. This guy is flying upward, who knows where he is going! This lunatic is indeed not a good ally. Although his combat ability is indeed good, his behavior is erratic. He disappears when he is needed, and appears out of nowhere when he is not needed.

"What did he leave for you?" Hongyue turned her attention to the box in my hand.

"Didn't you just say it was for Ziri?" Jin Coin said.

Su Mei suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute. The problem is serious!" She turned to the guard and asked, "What did Black Qilin say? You must use the original words, don't use your own words to describe it."

"What he said at the time was: This is for your boss, tell him there are benefits to eating it."

Su Mei asked again: "Is there nothing else?"

"Yeah. Nothing more."

Su Mei nodded and waved the guard to exit, then turned to us and said, "Now we're in trouble."

Eagle asked curiously: "Where is the trouble?"

"The trouble is who eats it."

Bai Ling said: "Didn't the guard say that he would give Ziri some land?"

"Sister Bailing, are you sure Black Qilin is talking about Brother Ziri?"

It suddenly dawned on me. "Yes! Black Qilin told the guards to be the boss, and I am indeed the boss of the guards, but I am not the same body!"

Everyone understands what I said. When fighting, I will appear on the battlefield in the purple sun form with relatively high defense. Firstly, this is a large account with relatively strong combat effectiveness. Secondly, this account has high defense and is not easy to kill. But when I'm in the city, I usually stay in Silver Moon's trumpet state, because the magic flames on my body in the Purple Sun state are too exaggerated, and it's easy to burn the roof when I enter a room. Although the magic flame will automatically identify players in the guild and neutral players and will not cause harm, to unrelated objects, the flame is just a flame, and the magic flame can also set things on fire. So for convenience, I usually appear in the silver moon form. Black Qilin said that the things in this box are for me to eat. He knew that I had two bodies, but he didn’t specify which body to feed, so which one should I feed? If you make a mistake, if it is better, it will be a waste of attributes, if it is not, it may have the opposite effect.

Rose said: "Let's take a look at what Black Qilin gave you first and then talk about it?"

I nodded and opened the small wooden box. The box is not big. There is a red velvet padding inside, and the thing held by the velvet padding in the center of the box is a black spherical object. Normally I would think this is a pill, but the current situation is obviously not suitable for such an understanding. The luster of this thing doesn't look like an elixir. Any elixir or general elixir I've seen before has a texture similar to earth. Although the elixirs are different in size and color. But the textures are similar, but this one is completely different. The thing Black Kirin gave me was more like a black glass marble. Not only did it have a very shiny surface, but it was also smooth and round without the irregular shape of a pill.

"This should be a pill, right?" Rose asked with a suspicious voice.

Jin Coin reached out and took out the elixir, but she suddenly called out and threw the elixir out. I quickly stretched out the box and just caught the elixir. Jin Coin's hand was so painful that it was holding her own. Ah Wei anxiously circled around her but didn't know how to help.

"Is this a pill or a poison?" Jin Coin seemed to have relaxed a little, and said to me while wrinkled and not enduring the pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Ling also went over to look at her.

Jin Coin stretched out the hand that had just grabbed the elixir, and saw that the entire palm of that hand had turned black. It looks like it's burnt.

Rose examined it closely and said, "It looks like symptoms of a burn."

Jin Coin shook his head: "I didn't feel hot at all. Instead, I felt very cold, as if I had frostbite."

Bai Ling held the gold coin in his hand: "Can frostbite cause frostbite like this?"

Ying suddenly asked: "Could it be evil pollution?"

"What did you say? Evil pollution?" I looked at the elixir in my hand in surprise. "Haha, no need to guess, this is the elixir for my big Ziri."

"How do you know?" Jin Coin said while rubbing his hand: "This thing almost froze my hand off if I touched it."

"This is actually not a pill at all, it should be a pearl condensed by evil energy."

"No wonder it's like glass marbles. It's rare to find pearls with such good luster. And it's rare to have such a standard round shape."

"Hehe. This is not a natural pearl. It is an evil pearl condensed by the black unicorn's magic power. It is actually a magic aggregate. Because it is condensed by evil energy. So it is similar to an evil energy bomb. If you encounter it, it will be a large area of ​​evil energy pollution. My big No. Zirb has a naturally adapted physique with dark attributes, and with the addition of this thing, it will only become stronger and stronger. But in the future, there will be no way to block the evil flames!"

"Anyway, you are already the second generation of demons, and you don't care if you get darker." Jin Coin said, "Eat it quickly. I saw on the forum that players who have reached a certain level of justice in the game can summon neutral and good gods to assist in combat. Now there is a French female player who has turned on this function. If you eat this, maybe you can increase your evil value and summon evil gods to join the battle?"

Shura Ziyi shook his head and said: "Summoning the evil god is not that easy. Don't risk turning into the most evil super devil player in the game and being chased by the righteous NPCs in the game."

Rose said: "Don't worry about this. He already has the title of the most evil player in China anyway. So far, he is still an evil player recognized by the game system. If you kill him, there will be no evil value at all."

"Ah? Is Zi Ri real?" Shura Ziyi didn't know about this yet.

I nodded: "It all happened several months ago. The system announced that I am the number one evil player, and the person who kills me will not only gain evil points but also gain justice points. However, this announcement has always been a decoration."

Su Mei smiled and said: "That's right. You usually take your magic pet with you when you go out, and you often go out with eight thousand cavalry. Even the small spots in the city can't stop you. Who would dare to touch you?"

Rose said: "Since it is something to increase your strength, you should eat it quickly. But it is best to eat it on the deck to avoid trouble if a black volcano suddenly erupts."

"Well, you go about your work first, and I'll be right back."

Everyone originally wanted to come and see it. But time doesn't allow it now, so everyone is busy discussing combat strategies, while I go to the deck to take 'medicine'.

Although I know that this 'medicine' increases evil spirits, I am still a little worried. This guy Black Qilin has an abnormal mind, who knows if he really gave him the evil elixir. It's a pity that I don't have time to experiment now. Besides, I don't dare to try just one elixir. At the worst, I will die. I need to change to the purple sun state first and then reach out and take out the elixir. This frostbitten gold coin elixir is indeed no problem in my hands. It does seem to be something of evil nature. I closed my eyes and swallowed the elixir in one gulp. After waiting for a while, there seemed to be no reaction. Time is running out now. I don't have time to wait for the medicine to take effect, so I have to change back to Silver Moon and go back to discuss the battle with everyone.

The Japanese navy is the fastest moving navy. The warships just purchased from Russia are all in active service and are well maintained. The Russian warships and the Japanese warships are completely two extremes. All RB warships are small and fast battleships, which the RB people themselves call short and capable. Russian warships are of a different style. People in this country are big. So their stuff is also big. The tonnage of these Russian warships is no less than that of our guild's cruisers. Some of them are actually about the same tonnage as the Biling-class super battleship.

These huge Russian warships are very slow, but their armor is extremely thick. The artillery is also very powerful, and our battleship group has to rely on maneuverability to deal with them. However, we still have the initiative on the battlefield. Can anyone compare to the Black Kirin in terms of size? That was a city on the sea, and no matter how big these battleships were, they were just battleships. Even excluding the Black Kirin, the Great White Shark diving dock is much larger than these battleships, not to mention it is a submarine.

In order to protect Essinger's safety, King Chuang had already taken the battleship group to both ends of the strait to block the Japanese warships. Looking from Essinger's side, he could only see a large number of black objects on the sea. It's a melee, but the specific battle situation can't be seen clearly here.

Masamoto Matsumoto's thoughts were just as Sumimi had guessed. He played too much. This guy actually wanted to kill Essinger and take back the sea control at the same time. Therefore, he did not let the navy approach the coast and fight our warships with the coordination of the army. Instead, he pressed the main force up to fight with ours. The fleet began a battle for maritime supremacy. Masamoto Matsumoto's move was a desperate gamble. He was gambling with RB players and his own newly invested funds. If he wins the bet, then he has hope of making back everything he lost, but if he loses the bet, how much he can have left depends on Matsumoto Masamoto's own command level.

No consideration was given to naval and ground defense. Therefore, the army commanded by Matsumoto Masaga caught up to the vicinity of Isinger faster than we expected. At this time, our Isinger was still more than three kilometers away from the coast. This distance is not too far, and Isinger can Now it takes almost forty minutes to cover this distance at a speed of several kilometers per hour. Today we can only rely on our army to cross the sea safely.

Matsumoto Masa also knew that time waits for no one, so he didn't even bother to organize the whole team and just led the army to charge forward without any structure.

"Attention, the enemy has entered the firing range, and the Essinger defense weapon system is firing autonomously." I took the leaves of the city tree to notify each defense unit to fire autonomously.

Essinger's defense weapon system started roaring instantly. When the enemy was discovered, artillery shells and the like had already been loaded, and they were waiting for the enemy to enter firing range. Although it is said that it is free to shoot, City Tree still maintains a certain degree of control, and the coordination of various weapons is still under his control.

The first thing to start shooting was the magic light cannon equipped on the edge of the city. These magic light cannons are all medium-caliber magic light cannons, although they are not as powerful as the landlord battle magic light cannons mounted on battleships. But it's enough to deal with people. The crystal at the tip of a magic light cannon suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, and several nearby cannons had the same reaction, with a row of neat beams shooting straight out.

It wasn't until this time that we discovered that the r&b players' disorganized charge was not really just chaos. It was not that they didn't have a whole team. But the team has already been formed. The reason why the Japanese army's front line looks very disorganized is not because their front line is in chaos, but because Matsumoto Masaru ordered the troops to arrange themselves in a skirmishing formation.

There is actually no good or bad troop formation, it all depends on what enemy you are dealing with. In modern warfare, machine gun firepower and explosive weapons are too powerful. If the formation is dense, it is easy to be killed in large numbers, so a loose skirmish formation is the best charging formation. But it's a different story in the era of cold weapons. Infantry clusters can provide perfect killing effects with the help of mutual cover, and dense formations can perfectly overwhelm opponents in terms of momentum and combat effectiveness. Therefore, the denser the cold weapon combat formation, the better. The better. Although there are magic and gunpowder weapons in this game. However, gunpowder weapons are underdeveloped here, and the magical firepower not only has a low range but also a poor shooting ability. It can be regarded as an imperfect mortar at best. Therefore, in the game, intensive group charges are still more effective. Use your fighting power. The most famous steel cavalry formation in our guild is the dense cavalry charge formation. Little rb's army has been overwhelmed by this formation many times, but it still cannot resist such a dense cavalry charge.

Although all of the above shows that Masa Matsumoto's skirmisher formation is not suitable for the actual situation of this game, his arrangement of this formation today is absolutely correct. The reason is not with Matsumoto Masaga, but with us. Essinger is an outlier in this game. There is no city in this game that is as armed to the teeth as Essinger. Even the top of the city has an armored roof. No city has so many cannons that can arm itself like a steel hedgehog, so the attack tactic of most cities is to quickly press in with large corps. But Essinger must be treated as a modern city, and only the skirmisher formation is the safest impact formation.

Masa Matsumoto's formation soon showed its advantages. The power of our guild's first round of attacks was amazing. The magic light scattering and the barrage attack of long-range defensive artillery were all astonishingly deterrent, but today they had little effect. Because the formation of rb players is too scattered, the magic light cannon's rotating attack can only hit up to three targets, while the cannon's shells usually kill up to four or five people, and sometimes only one person can be killed with one shell. This effect is really Not even one-tenth of the usual amount.

Seeing such good results, Masamoto Matsumoto felt happy. This formation was not what he had imagined, it was planned by the helper he found offline early this morning. This helper is a retired Japanese military attache and a senior staff officer. Such professionals are different from amateurs. This consultant was also a player of "Zero" himself, so he just briefly understood the battle situation and immediately jumped into the plan. While Masamoto Matsumoto was busy contacting troops to purchase warships, he also worked out the battle plan and general strategy.

At first, Masamoto Matsumoto was a little skeptical about this skirmishing formation, but he immediately understood it after being briefly explained by the staff officer. The skirmish formation plan that the staff is currently working on on the battlefield is really not very easy to use. The number of casualties is much smaller than before. If we encountered such dense fire coverage before, we would not expect to survive a few people.

After discovering that the Japanese army had changed their formation, our firepower immediately adjusted accordingly. General Wu discussed with Sumei and then said to me: "Order the artillery positions to be replaced with long-lasting incendiary bombs."

I didn't ask why but just took the leaves of the city tree and ordered: "Pay attention to the artillery positions and replace them with long-lasting incendiary bombs."

The gun barrels of the tens of thousands of artillery positions on the city's surface were all re-opened, and the loaded explosive grenades were withdrawn, followed by the incendiary bombs with red warhead marks. Amidst a roar, tens of thousands of artillery shells formed a dense fire field in front of the city. The advantage of long-lasting incendiary bombs is that they can burn continuously for a long time, and it is not easy to put them out even if you pour water on them.

Although the Japanese players were in a skirmish formation, the large number of fire scenes on the way forward immediately gave them a headache. Just jump over a fire wall, but there are so many fire walls here, it's different. The first wall will reduce some blood, and you will die after passing through.

Masamoto Matsumoto's voice suddenly appeared behind all RB players. "The two wings become forward, and the Chinese army presses behind." The huge sound waves spread out by the sound transmission magic array made every RB player hear this order. The Chinese army blocked by the flames immediately stopped, and the two wing armies continued to move forward and circle from the side. Past the fire scene. The Chinese army first moved a large distance to both sides, and then began to rush forward, just enough to get out of the way of the flame formation.

I looked at the Japanese soldiers below and said, "General, it seems that our method is not very effective!"

"Order the forward artillery to fire smoke grenades, and the other artillery positions will be replaced with fragmentation shells."

"clear."

I gave the order again and immediately a row of large smoke bombs flew out, and they landed just behind the fire scene. This smoke screen grenade is fired from a relatively long distance, so it flies behind the flames. The smoke screen fired by a large-caliber fortress cannon is different from the small things thrown by human hands. The smoke screen fired by a huge smoke screen is also very terrifying. A huge smoke screen with a thickness of ten meters appeared covering the entire battlefield, located just behind the Japanese forward. Masamoto Matsumoto and his reserve team were isolated behind the smoke screen, and the first wave of attacking troops were actually inside the smoke screen. Now his command of the battlefield was completely finished. The smoke screen obscured the sight, and Masamoto Matsumoto could not see the battlefield situation at all. Even a genius conductor would never dare to give random commands. A good general makes reasonable judgments with the support of intelligence, but how can he obtain intelligence on such a dark battlefield?

Masamoto Matsumoto's skirmishing formation still has shortcomings, that is, the team is too spread out. Masamoto Matsumoto, who does not have modern communication tools, is now causing trouble for himself.
