Idle game leads to another world

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

Mid-November, 8pm.

Inside the army camp of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus——

"The vanguard has successfully crossed the river. The Subia Demon Kingdom army must be dumbfounded now."

Wendy looked at the sand table and leaned back on the chair covered with fur to keep warm:

"As it is written in the military book given by your Majesty, soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Attack them unprepared and take them by surprise."

Although in "Great Principles" books such as the Tao Te Ching, Li Chengqi directly gave the original text without explaining it at all. Let Viola and the others figure it out on their own, and Li Chengqi won't care as long as they don't bring out the teachings of a cult.

But reference books like Sun Tzu's Art of War cannot be ignored. If they misunderstand the meaning and are regarded as truth by them, the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, Li Chengqi not only provided the original text and translation, but also provided battle examples as a reference.

Wendy was not interested in other books such as Tiangong Kaiwu, Guiguzi, and Jiu Zhang Arithmetic, but she had a special liking for books on the art of war. When she saw Sun Tzu's Art of War, she felt like she had found a treasure.

Aldai was drinking black tea and said dissatisfiedly:

"Wake up, stop reading. You're talking like it's all your fault. It's obviously all thanks to me..."

It was Aldai who used prophecy to predict when it would snow, and the technology for building the pontoon was also the idea provided by Aldai.

The technology to build a floating bridge in minutes is simple and nothing more than modular.

Build the prefabricated parts of the pontoon in advance, and then when the heavy snow comes and obscures the view, throw it into the water and hammer in the last few nails.

Although it is not very strong, it is enough for the vanguard to cross the river to protect the pontoon bridge, and then send people to reinforce it to allow the army to pass.

"What do you rely on? Didn't you also learn your ideas from the divine world?"

“But I designed the drawings of the prefabricated parts!”

In terms of materials engineering, Aldai is really her specialty.

Seeing that they were still arguing, Viola had to interrupt:

"Okay, now that we have crossed the river, our next goal is to capture the Watcher's Fortress. Wendy, you stay here to command and dispatch, and the others will join me in the siege."

After capturing the Watcher's Fortress, the open city is already in sight. And not only must it be captured, but it must be captured quickly to prevent the Subia Demon Kingdom's army from counterattacking.

As for how to quickly capture the fortress, plans have already been made.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in nine words.

Any fighter will win with the right combination and the most surprising.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Unable to stop the Avarus Demon Kingdom from crossing the river, the Subia Demon Kingdom army had no choice but to retreat and defend.

But to be honest, from generals to soldiers, no one has much confidence.

There are still two days before the agreed reinforcements arrive, so it is basically impossible to expect the reinforcements to arrive.

It stands to reason that although Viola's army is almost five times as large as the defenders of Watcher's Fortress, they have fortifications to rely on.

As the saying goes, if you are ten, you will surround it, if you are five, you will attack it, if if you double it, you will divide it.

The defenders can resist an enemy force several times their own with far fewer troops, especially now that there are no high-performance artillery. Facing the enchanted city wall, no matter how many troops there are, they will be blinded.

Previously, 120,000 people from the Subia Demon Kingdom attacked the Qihang City with only 30,000 defenders. Taking the first two city walls in succession was enough to show how powerful the Kingdom Tigers were in commanding, but facing the strongest and last wall, The city wall is still difficult to maintain the offensive.

It is really not difficult for six thousand people to resist 25,000 people against the city wall, especially if it only takes two days.

But again, the battle these days is all about morale.

The army of the Subia Demon Kingdom had little morale to speak of. Especially when they saw dense torches appearing outside the city, and the light of illuminating arrows making the enemy armor emerge in the darkness, it seemed to arouse many people's ptsd.

The general knew this very well, but he had no choice but to die.

——Woo!

The horn of attack sounded, just as the wind and snow stopped at this time, the soldiers guarding the city could clearly see the connected torches advancing towards them in a neat square formation. Even if they stood on the city wall more than ten meters high, they still had no sight. No sense of security.

The Lookout Fortress is built on the mountain and has two gates. The Avarus Demon King's army only moved towards the main entrance of the Watcher's Fortress and did not seem to intend to encircle it.

The enemy must be surrounded.

As the saying goes, trapped animals still fight, let alone humans.

You cannot push the enemy to death, otherwise they will die on both sides, and they are likely to fight back desperately before dying, causing greater casualties to themselves.

When leaving a way out, the enemy is likely to flee through the way out as soon as they see that they are no match, losing their determination to fight to the death, thereby reducing the casualties of our soldiers.

Viola's purpose was not to kill the enemy, but to capture the Watcher's Fortress, so she deliberately left a way out.

Of course, the generals who defended the city were well aware that this was also a kind of psychological warfare. The already low morale of the Subia Demon Kingdom army would not defend the fortress desperately when there was a way to escape.

This is a naked conspiracy, putting everything on the table, but you still have to walk in.

Everything was not good for the defenders, and the generals knew it, but they could do nothing but fulfill their duties as soldiers.

He drew his saber and shouted loudly:

"Archers prepare!"

The Avarus Demon King's army was getting closer and closer, and a rain of arrows like locusts shot over them.

For a moment, my ears were filled with a tinkling sound, like the sound of raindrops falling on the roof.

The vanguard must be heavy armor and shield soldiers. The first wave of arrow rain is not very lethal, but it is also like a fuse, and the siege is about to start.

The archers drew out their second arrows, preparing for the next wave of arrow rain to kill the main force following the shield soldiers.

But at this moment, a terrible roar came from the sky. No matter who heard it, their hearts felt like they missed a beat.

"Dragon! A dragon is coming down from the sky!"

Someone on the city wall shouted loudly, but it was too late to remind them now.

The white dragon passed through the low clouds, and its elegant figure like a white swan brought the coldness of death. It swooped down and breathed a dragon's breath at the soldiers who were drawing bows on the city wall.

The white dragon's breath was extremely cold air. Many soldiers were frozen into ice sculptures while maintaining the posture of fear and turning around to escape. Ordinary arrows were not even a tickle for the dragon. Before the crossbow on the city wall turned around, the white dragon immediately flapped its wings and climbed at a large angle, and disappeared in the low clouds in a blink of an eye.

Before the missile era, there was a very practical tactical theory in air combat, which was to use the potential energy of altitude to convert into kinetic energy to launch an attack, and then convert the kinetic energy into potential energy to climb after the attack.

This is the so-called energy war.

To put it bluntly, it is a cycle of repeated dive attacks, climbs, and then dive attacks.

It can be used not only on fighters, but also on dive bombers, and the attack and bombing accuracy is higher. Many Japanese aircraft carriers were sent to the bottom of the sea by America in this way.

However, the role of the white dragon is actually closer to that of the Stuka bomber. It is not an easy task for a white dragon to destroy the defenders of the entire fortress, but its terrible roar every time it dives brings a strong psychological terror.

For a while, many defenders on the city wall raised their heads to guard the sky, and at this time, from the Avarus Demon Kingdom Army, a rain of arrows rose into the sky.

They are already close at hand.
