Chapter 561 Zigzag Gray Line (Part 3)

Gao Yu's eyes fell on the collapsed high wall on the other side of the river. The Teutonic Knights had filled part of the gaps created during the attack with sandbags and soil. He could occasionally see the pointed helmets that appeared from time to time in the trenches.

The two armies faced each other across the river.

This group of Germanic people seems to have found their own 'consensus' and used this consensus to temporarily unite under the same flag.

This is bad news for the coalition.

"Using colonial era technology to fight trench warfare..." Gao Yu smacked his lips and put down the telescope: "It's really creative."

He could not find a gap in the No. 3 bastion to launch an attack. Soldiers in peaked helmets armed with muskets and crossbows were hiding in sandbags spread out on the ruins, always ready to fight against the coalition forces attacking across the river.

For a while, the coalition forces had nothing to do with the enemies hiding in the trenches. Their heavy mortars were even at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the fortress's heavy artillery.

These people are pretty good at digging trenches.

The coalition tried to launch an attack from the air using ships made of floating stone, but at this time, no one had a few air troops. If the coalition's floating stone ships appeared, they would be forced back by the air cavalry of the Teutonic Knights.

Even if all the air troops are deployed to gain an advantage, little effect will be achieved - if the air troops do not descend to a certain height to launch an attack, the explosive packets they drop will be blown by the wind. If they drop to an altitude of 200 meters, , the opponent's musketeers and rune crossbowmen won't stare blankly.

The battle situation is very tense.

The heavy mortars used in the siege were useless, their strength advantage could not be brought into play because they were across the river, and the coalition's air numerical superiority was weakened because the opponent had also entered the firearms age.

"Gao, how's the situation?" asked the undead lord Hui Xia lying on the side.

"We can only hope that our friends in heaven will help us solve this problem." Gao Yu shook his head: "Across the river, the fortress, there is no shortage of supplies, even the gods can't defeat it."

Even if their troops would not suffer real casualties, they would not be able to withstand such a method of attrition.

Any officer who has actually been on the battlefield will shake his head when he sees the fortress group.

"If we are unable to capture this city in the next month, the opinion from the rear is to divide the river and conquer it." Hui Xia said: "The messenger said that enough time should be left to set up defense lines at several passes to We don’t have much time.”

The coalition forces do not want to accept this plan of dividing the river to rule. The land captured now is obviously not enough for the hundreds of lords of the coalition forces.

As for asking the lords of the Eastern Defense Line who already have territory to give up part of their land to the coalition lords, that is even more impossible.

And after losing this opportunity, how long will it take for them to organize such a large-scale coalition...

"Where is the plague plan?" Gao Yu asked: "How are you preparing the plague bomb of the undead method? Weren't we discussing the use of plague two days ago?"

Using corpses to create plague is a common siege method used by troops in history. The coalition forces also thought of this method. They hoped to use plague to weaken the Teutonic Knights' city defenses.

"It's useless. They have many priests inside. It's useless for us undead lords to take turns throwing corpses in. The plague bomb was purified by high heat as soon as it landed." Hui Xia said: "In order to create the poisoned plague bomb, the lich fell down from exhaustion. One, my lich told me... In this case, it is better to create more ordinary undead erosion bombs and rely on the explosion to cause damage."

At least the undead's erosion bomb can take away the lives of nearby soldiers like a high-explosive bomb when it lands, instead of being eliminated on the spot by fireball and holy light using light and heat as soon as it sprays poison like a plague bomb.

Plague was crossed off the list.

"How effective are the mutant beasts assisted by the Island Around the Island Alliance?" Gao Yu asked: "I heard that the coalition forces threw those things on the battlefield during yesterday's probing offensive."

The Round Island Alliance also assisted the coalition forces with some mutant beasts, ranging from primates to canines and cats. They used the coalition battlefields as a proving ground to test the most suitable creatures as mutation blueprints.

The mutant beasts' blueprints and injections are stored separately. When an attack is needed, injections are injected into them, allowing the mutant beasts to rush into the enemy's position while they can still maintain their sanity.

The Island Alliance needs a real battlefield to help them discover the flaws of mutant beasts.

I just don't know if it's because they were beaten by the Flesh Turbine for a round. All the mutant beasts they developed are of a type that can't distinguish between friend and foe after being put into battle... but with a group of violent and destructive beasts whose body functions have been enhanced. Compared with the monster infantry of more than three meters, it is only a small price to pay for being indistinguishable between friend and foe.

‘Mutant Fury: Movement speed +20%, combat efficiency +33%, damage tolerance +33%, fight to the death. ’

‘Bloodthirsty Gluttony: Recover injuries by eating a small amount. ’

The only thing better than the Flesh Turbine is that the commander can use pheromones to guide the mutant beasts to attack in a fixed direction.

"You mean those big rats and cats? The effect was good, but the reserve of biological beasts for assistance was completely consumed." Hui Xia said: "Last night I saw their fortress cannons firing directly at their own position. That thing We can’t distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and we can’t let anyone press us.”

"It's really troublesome. We have tried all the methods that should be tried, and we don't have much time." Gao Yu said.

There is another way, he thought.

Gao Yu is waiting for a reply.

Waiting for a reply from the sky.

Standard Mining provided its troops with an endless supply of explosives. I wonder if they can directly "express" these explosives to the enemy's defense zone, just like the "Kirov airship".

Unlike the inferior airships owned by the coalition forces, the Yunshang people have real airships that can be called ships.

He has also seen the airships that fell to the ground unload the explosives for them, and he has also seen

Gao Yu sighed, not knowing whether the forces in the sky can receive his request, and if they do, he doesn't know whether they will approve his request.

A rustling sound came from the bushes next to him, and he turned his head.

The hunting spider with eight long legs stared at him, and the hunting spider with fine hair even took two steps back when Gao Yu stared at it.

"Well, where did the hunting spider come from? The rangers shouldn't come so close to the front line, right?" Gao Yu was a little confused. Logically speaking, a highly mobile little thing like a hunting spider should be allocated to the rangers, and would never be sent to the confrontation trenches on the front line.

He remembered clearly that there was no hunting spider in his combat group, which consisted of elves, humans, and undead.

They were an assault force, and generally did not carry hunting spiders to expand their reconnaissance range. After all, hunting spiders would be evaporated the moment they were put into a high-intensity battlefield.

So this could only be the troops of other lords.

Then he saw the gray-clothed officer standing deep in the woods, holding his military cap tightly.
