Chapter 367: Yun Liu’s Strong Army (Part 1)
In the face of a strong enemy, it is a taboo to divide troops. Daliang City has 110,000 elite troops, Salin wants to transfer 50,000 and bring 20,000 auxiliary troops, and Daliang City only has 60,000 main forces.
Salin was not worried that his 50,000 troops were stationed in the White Bone Castle, which could effectively restrain Yunliu people. If he could annihilate the Yunliu fleet in one fell swoop, he would not even have to use these 50,000 people.
Rex's main corps has strong combat power and many cavalry. In this flat wilderness, its combat power is not comparable to that of Salin's army. Salin himself carries new weapons and armor that is enough to equip a battalion. Even if his first battalion is insufficient compared to Rex's people, it can still make up for the equipment.
When building the Bone Castle, the materials needed were not only magical supplies from the Necromancer. After Rex prepared all the things needed for Salin, Salin took his first battalion to set off. In Daliang City, he stayed for only two days. Nicholas was still in Daliang City, but Su followed Salin to the shore of the sea.
There is a lake shore more than 200 miles wide. In the middle, there is a small town in Rex. Now most of the defenders have retreated, and there is still a flag regiment left to monitor the movements on the lake.
Although the water on the lakeshore of more than 200 miles wide was deep enough, there was no good port. The warships escorting the envoys did not withdraw, but began to dig on the shore to build a harbor that could accommodate large warships.
The reason why Yunliu people did not send troops to attack immediately was because there was no good place to stop the ship from the north shore of the sea. When those fleets came, their movements were also restricted. As long as the port was repaired, the Yunliu warships lined up and they could smash the town with a catapult in the lake.
Rex did not send anyone to attack the troops that built the ports. There were dozens of warships on the lake, aiming at the shore. Once the fight started, the Yunliu people could rely on the power of the warships and have an absolute advantage.
Yunliu people on the shore were just auxiliary soldiers, and there were even some pure workers who came specifically to build a port. Rex didn't want his soldiers to be sent to the fleet's attack range to fight desperately.
Instead of garrisoning troops in this small town, Salin quietly brought the army eastward to the rocky area on the east. The terrain here is complex and there are astonishing reefs in the water, so the fleet cannot get close to it.
Salin would not have assembled warships in this place, but if it weren't for the undead warships, it would have been impossible. Yun Liuren would have thought that a powerful fleet would appear a hundred miles away from them.
The Bone Castle is the main fortress in the undead plane. As a level 8 undead, the Winged Skeleton cannot be built with the power of a person. Fortunately, he has already created a large number of modules. In addition to the foundation that cannot be omitted, it depends on human construction. The main body of the castle, the Winged Skeleton, has been built. So Salin said that he would build it within ten days and dare to make a promise.
In ten days, a huge castle that can accommodate 100,000 people was built. Unlike human castles, this castle was mainly designed for the undead. There is a huge spiritual pool inside, which can continuously release the power of death required by the undead. In order to garrison, human warehouses, garbage rooms, and magical devices for extracting lake water to purify.
The jade skeletons would naturally not be discovered when they went to assemble the bone warships in the depths of the sea, but the construction of this bone castle alarmed Yun Liu people who built the port.
Yunliuren first sent a cavalry team of 200 people to investigate, but Salin simply sent a mixed cavalry from the flag regiment to completely annihilate the two hundred people's cavalry team, and none of them escaped.
In addition to the monster swordsman, Yunliu Ren was also quite powerful, and his cavalry was much worse than Qin Yin Ren. Yunliu Ren didn't know the depth and sent a mixed flag regiment, but was directly defeated by Salin's iron cavalry, and less than two hundred people escaped.
Now Yunliu people became honest. They worked hard to build the port and prepare to welcome the fleet behind. How could the winged skeletons let these Yunliu people live in peace? The thousand Yunliu soldiers who were annihilated from front and back were made into corpses and sneak attacked the under-construction port.
Under the command of the winged skeleton, all the corpse soldiers were violent and blew the port into a mess. The casualties caused were not heavy, but many port facilities were corroded by corpse fluid and needed to be replaced.
At this time, Yunliu people had already received news that the Kingdom of Metatrim sent a powerful undead magician. This attack was obviously caused by the undead magician. At this moment, the defensive facilities at the port were also established and were highly vigilant. Yunliu people were facing a great enemy. None of their troops were elite and lacked magicians. If the undead magician took risks, they might even destroy the port.
Rex's four flag regiments then arrived and entered the huge white bone castle. They suddenly became nervous from the coast.
On the last day of October, the wind was already very cold from the seaside. Salin sent the Winged Skeleton to the shore, and the Winged Skeleton was going to command the Undead Fleet. All the warships are now in the water and need to drive the magic circle, discharge the water and float to the surface. Only the Undead Fleet can use this way of launching the water.
At the same time, there were twelve submersible warships. The twelve submersible warships were less than twenty meters long and were made of expensive metal. Once sunk, no one of the soldiers inside could survive. Fortunately, Salin had not yet trained the sailors of the submersible warships, and everything had to be replaced by the undead.
It is extremely difficult to summon or manufacture the undead with wisdom. These twelve submersible warships must be under the command of the Cang Turtle Alchemy Ship to exert their strength. The Winged Skeleton only brought six jade skeletons, all of which were responsible for the command of the Bone Warship. On the submersible warship, there were third-level skeleton soldiers operating.
The winged skeleton nodded to Salin and jumped into the water. Muen followed Salin and asked with a sad face, "Your Highness, what should I do if he is gone?"
Salin smiled and said, "You only need to live in the castle. You don't need to come forward in the future."
The Winged Skeleton is not there, and there are no advanced undead in the Bone Castle. The undead Salin summoned by the huge magic circle can control it, but most of them are defending the fixed position of the castle according to the orders of the Winged Skeleton.
This is also the power of the Bone Castle itself. After each undead enters the corresponding position, it will attack all enemies that dare to approach.
After entering the sea, the winged skeleton wandered around the reef area first. He felt that even the boat's movement was a bit dangerous within a dozen miles near the shore, so he swam into the depths of the lake.
After swimming a hundred miles away, the winged skeleton contacted the six jade skeletons in the undead fleet.
The Winged Skeleton carefully allowed all the undead fleet to surface 120 miles away. In the surface fleet, the enemy must have a magic compass. Although the performance of the magic compass is different, the Winged Skeleton still arranged the fleet 120 miles away at the safest distance.
At a distance of 100 miles, the magic compass cannot detect anything. Even if you can feel a moving target, you cannot determine whether it is a monster or a warship.
The area away from the sea is too large, and the winged skeletons do not allow the warships to penetrate deep, so as not to encounter powerful monsters. He drove the Rock Turtle Alchemy Ship, took twelve submersible warships, approached the port's periphery, and then dispersed, just observing the enemy situation every day.
A large number of bone spirits were released by the winged skeletons. Some of them had their lifespans that had exceeded the limit of the bone spirit and had evolved into level 4 undead. This level does not represent any combat power, but their lifespan has increased.
The lifespan of an ordinary bone spirit can be several hours or several days, and at most only one month.
These fourth-level bone spirits swam hundreds of miles in the water with lower-level bone spirits to monitor the lake. This way, the net-like observation will not miss any target.
Yun Liuren was obviously a little arrogant. On the last day of the first week of November, the Bone Spirit brought back information and found Yun Liuren's warship. Yun Liuren, but did not find the Bone Spirit.
The Winged Skeleton immediately sent an order to let three squadrons attack Yunliuren's fleet from the flank, and the other three squadrons faced the front.
At a distance of 100 miles, the magic compass of the Yunliu Fleet discovered the target, but no one cared about it. In Yunliu Ren's view, the entire Lihai was their back garden, and they were free to enter and exit, and had never encountered any blows.
When it was nearly fifty miles away, Yunliu people realized that something was wrong. There were too many targets and too fast speeds. A magic alarm sounded on Yunliu's flagship.
Yunliu Ren's fleet was huge, with more than 200 ships. The flagship was a 220-meter-long iron-armored warship that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. As soon as the magic alarm sounded, the air cavalry among Yunliu Ren immediately flew up on the deck to search for targets approaching at sea.
Yunliu Ren can raise monsters, and this kind of flying cavalry is unique to Yunliu Ren. They cannot move on rainy days, but now it is sunny. People from Kushui County and the country dare to attack such a huge fleet. This provocation is unbearable.
The Winged Skeleton observed carefully and found that the Yunliu Fleet did not specifically protect the troop transport ship. The main warships were all in front. The troop transport ship was thrown for more than a hundred miles and followed behind. The ones pressed at the tail were only more than a dozen warships below 100 meters.
The Winged Skeleton was overjoyed. The more than 80 troop transport ships were equivalent to a meal on the plate. The troop transport ship also had steel armor, trenchers, alchemy crossbows, and magicians, but the detection ability of the troop transport ship was much worse than that of the warship.
Advanced magic compass is extremely expensive. Only powerful empires will equip warships. It is impossible for these troop ships to be equipped with advanced magic compass.
The Winged Skeleton knew very well that most of the enemy's troops were placed on this troop transport ship. As long as these ships were sunk, at least half of the troops could get ashore were lost. The Bone Warship was still fifty miles away, and the Winged Skeleton could not wait, so he issued an order to attack.
The twelve submersible warships slowly approached a mile of the troop transport ship and floated quietly. The submersible warships were extremely careful in their movements, for fear of being discovered by the enemy's magician, so they could only sink the ships in front of them, and then faced the magician's counterattack.
