Glider, that is a technology that makes Ling Chen very envious.
It can ignore the terrain and launch a devastating attack on the enemy.
But the usage conditions are very harsh.
According to the battle report, Liu Zheng used a glider to directly destroy the city of Dresden in Saxony.
But the geographical environment where Liu Zheng was located occupies the right time and place. At the foot of Halle Mountain is the city of Dresden. Liu Zheng just used his glider to make a very simple impact to explode the bomb, and then threw it down.
It was not that Ling Chen had never thought of replicating such a tactic, but their conditions made it impossible to replicate it.
It's not that there's no way to make a glider.
Liu Zheng had already written to Ling Chen about the principles of the glider.
Rather, their geographical environment is not that good. The hills are very flat, the highest point is only three hundred meters, and there is no suitable runway for the glider to accelerate.
A glider has no way of gliding through the air.
More importantly, even with a glider, it cannot reach the enemy fortress.
In short, there is no way to use the very harsh attack method of glider.
Diana looked at the map and suddenly said: "We may not be able to attack from the sky, but we may attack from other places."
Ling Chen looked at Diana and asked, "Is there any other attack route?"
Diana nodded: "One day, but this route is not safe and reliable."
Diana placed her finger on the location of the Holy Crusaders and said: "Although the Holy Crusaders have kept this place airtight, there is a river passing through the three cities."
"Although the Holy Crusaders have now blocked the river, they probably don't know that the deepest part of the river is connected to a shelter established a long time ago."
"These shelters are under this city. If we can travel through, we can surprise the Holy Crusaders in these three cities."
"It's just that the shelters were very old, and I'm not sure these shelters still exist."
Ling Chen was thoughtful. He looked at the river blocked by the Holy Crusaders and gradually came up with an idea.
"I have already thought of how to attack, Holy Crusaders."
"Diana, please tell me, how wide and long is this river, and where does it flow?"
Diana thought for a moment and said, "This river is called the Lena River. It is more than 200 kilometers long and is connected to Saxony."
"The widest part of the river is about three hundred meters wide, and the narrowest part is more than one hundred meters wide."
"The narrowest part is more than 100 meters. If you want to prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea, the easiest way is to build a dam. This dam must be built for more than 100 meters to intercept the river."
Thinking of this, Ling Chen already had an idea of attack in his mind: "We will attack by water and blow up the dam."
Ling Chen looked at the chief of staff and said, "How much explosives do we have now? Can we blow up the dam?"
The chief of staff flipped through his notepad and said: "The explosives in our hands are completely insufficient now, and the support Prussia promised us has not arrived yet."
"The explosives only need less than 500 kilograms."
Ling Chen was stunned when he heard this number.
These explosives are not enough to blow up the dam, even to make a hole in it.
After thinking of this, Ling Chen said again: "Where is the sugar?"
The chief of staff had a bitter look on his face: "Now the soldiers don't have enough to eat, and there is certainly no shortage of supplies like sugar. General, if you want to attack the Holy Crusaders."
"There's no problem in taking the water route, but we don't have explosives."
"There is no problem in siege. Now that the Holy Crusaders have been cut off from their supply lines, General, with all due respect, siege will be the best option."
Ling Chen was silent. The siege was nothing more than a tactic that cost eight hundred to oneself and one thousand to the enemy.
This battle has no choice but to drag on.
So far, they have no good offensive methods, so this battle can only drag on.
But Ling Chen didn't know that the furious Pope didn't have to give him so many opportunities.
The Pope's letter reaches the Habsburgs.
In Europe, the divine right of kings is emphasized. A large part of the reason why the Habsburg Dynasty had so many emperors was because of the canonization of the Pope.
Therefore, the current leaders of the Habsburg family took the Pope's letter very seriously after receiving it.
Italy, located on the Sinai Peninsula, held an emergency meeting.
The current Italian Congress is controlled by the Habsburg family, and those who can participate in this Congress are all members of the Habsburg family.
These Italian Grand Dukes were dressed brightly and looked like decent people.
But no one who has seen these Habsburgs is not shocked.
The appearance of these Italian Grand Dukes is beyond compliment. Sometimes they feel that the people in charge of the Parliament are like a group of disgusting pieces of meat.
Disgusting to look at, ugly on the inside.
But these Habsburgs felt honored by it, which was a symbol of the purity of their blood and nobility.
The Habsburg family in Italy will never marry members of their own family to outsiders. This is a rule they must abide by.
Dramas like a younger brother marrying a cousin can be seen everywhere in Habsburg.
Everyone was sitting in the Italian Congress Hall, and on the table was a handwritten letter from the Pope requesting assistance.
"The popes have come to our aid. This is a good opportunity. We can agree to the pope and use this to gain the throne of the Holy Roman Empire."
"This will be of great benefit to us."
"I agree, but how many troops should we send out?"
"I heard that the Dragon Flame Army fought in Saxony. They sent down divine thunder from the Tianshan Mountains and turned the city of Saxony into a sea of fire. It is said that the fire has not been extinguished until now."
Someone sneered and said lightly: "Would you believe such a thing?"
"The Pope doesn't even have the ability to make the Lord appear. Do you think those natives from the East, barbarians who don't understand noble blood, can do what the Lord can do?"
Everyone fell silent, indeed.
They don't really believe that Long Yan has this ability. In their eyes, only the Lord can punish him for this ability.
"Well, the Longyan Army must be wiped out. Their blatant support of Protestantism is the greatest insult to us."
"We should not allow Long Yan to exist in the world, he is too dangerous."
"Protestantism must not rise, which will affect the dominance of our great Habsburg family in Europe."
Everyone nodded.
The person sitting at the top of the conference room gradually sharpened his eyes: "So I propose to launch a full-scale attack on Long Yan, and Long Yan's ally Prussia must be eliminated!"
Bang bang bang bang!
Everyone applauded.
"Okay, I agree with this proposal!"
"Me too."
"Me too."
