Glider is a technology that makes Ling Chen very envious.
It can ignore the terrain and launch a devastating attack on the enemy.
However, 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's not like Ling Chen has never thought of replicating such a tactic, but their conditions make 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 hilly terrain is very flat, the highest point is only 300 meters, and there is no suitable runway for the glider to accelerate.
A glider cannot glide through the air at all.
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 launch an 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 them, we can surprise the Holy Crusaders in these three cities."
"It's just that the shelters existed very anciently, 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 the 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 cost 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.
