Chapter 289: The Battle Under the City
The core area in the King's Pit.
A huge karst cave, in the middle of the cave is a huge city ruins, even if the black hand has controlled it for so long, it is still like a ruin, but a large number of new buildings have been built in those ruins, and these new buildings look like those houses that are about to collapse, but this dilapidated style gives others a different aesthetic feeling.
"Those black hands are really a group of backward primitive people, with such a perfect environment as the king's pit, and there is still time and energy, they haven't repaired the city, or built it better, where is this like a royal city of power, more like a post-war slum!"
A dwarf general did not forget to laugh when he saw this scene, at this time under the huge cave world, the dense obsidian above his head was like a starlight shining the whole world, and the huge underground magma river next to the king's pit also emitted red firelight, the entire king's pit looked extremely beautiful and magnificent, most of the soldiers of the human race and the elves had never seen this magnificent scenery, the king's pit was different from the dwarf's supreme pit, the supreme pit was very close to the outside world, and the king's pit was directly in the depths of the mountain, which made them exude a different sense of beauty。
At this time, the formation has been completely arranged, the entire team of steam arrangement, artillery is placed on the ground, and there are even tall tree people, but the spirit of these tree people is relatively sluggish, and I don't know if it is because they can't do photosynthesis.
The dense cannons are dense, and the black hand artillery on the ruins of the opposite city is no longer a few, and it can even be described as one meter and one door, in order to carry out this decisive battle, the black hand almost used all his weapons, relying on these artillery, the black hand has the power of a battle against the coalition army, and this number of artillery makes the coalition army dare not act rashly for a while.
Now this situation is very embarrassing, because the Black Hand did choose to hold on to the royal city as the elves said, but when the coalition arrived and surrounded them, the coalition army found that it seemed, seemed, that it would be difficult for the Black Hand to be wiped out, and instead it would be a stalemate, and it would be possible to suffer great losses.
"No matter what, we must fight today! Only if we beat them up will they listen to us!"
Harold looked at the heavily defended black hand city in front of him, and gave his own order categorically, and also set the final tone for this battle, the human race and the elves have nothing to say, after all, this is a dwarf war, Harold saw the dense artillery in the distance, and said to the dwarven officer behind him:
"Send the troops up, the musketeers in front of the line, the infantry in pairs and follow, remember, don't get too close, the ranks are scattered a little. ”
Harold's words made the dwarven soldiers below move quickly, while the Terrans and elves looked at Harold, waiting for him to assign tasks to him, and Harold continued without hesitation:
"Brother troops, we need your support, the Terran artillery unit and our artillery unit need to maintain the maximum firepower output, we don't need to limit the firepower to the city wall, as long as we can tilt all the artillery fire into the city, all of them are replaced with high-explosive shells, there are many mafia people in the city, we don't have to worry about not hitting people at all. ”
The Terran officer said he understood, and the dwarf looked at the elf, and said in a very kind tone:
"We want the elves to be able to position their crossbows at a distance that can effectively support the front-line troops, ready to face the possible giants of the black hand, and if we can, I hope that this time the elves will be able to send all of their archer troops to fight against the dwarven musketeers who used to use the skirmish line in front. ”
Harold's sincerity is still there, and the two consecutive battles have made the dwarves the vanguard, and let the Terrans and elves troops exist as auxiliaries, this attitude is still very satisfactory to the Terrans and elves, so they are also happy to send their own troops to cooperate in the battle.
The coalition forces that got the final battle order began to act, first the artillery units of the coalition forces, they all adjusted the firing range to the maximum, and did not care about the accuracy at all, the opposite city was so big, there was no situation of missing the hit, with the roar of the artillery in unison, the power of a thousand guns was exerted to the maximum, the dense artillery fire was overwhelming, and this spectacular scene of indiscriminate bombardment was the most exciting.
Looking at the black hand city on the opposite side in an instant into the dense artillery fire, the morale of the soldiers of the coalition army has been greatly increased under the stimulation of this scene, although the effect of this artillery fire on personnel is not very large, but it is extremely shocking, countless soldiers began to set off one after another, in the opposite city fell into an explosion under the picture, the coalition army team looked particularly majestic.
30,000 dwarven musketeers are constantly firing in front, and the black hands on the walls of their dense barrage can't raise their heads, coupled with the elves' arrow feathers, the black hand soldiers can only use muskets to shoot without looking behind the disaster wall, which of course has no accuracy, and even if it is so, it will be killed by elves or stray bullets, but it can't stand the number of black hands, under which dense barrage, some casualties on the coalition side have also begun to appear, and the vast majority of casualties are on the elves' side, the refined steel caps of the dwarven musketeers allow them to resist a large number of bullets from the top down, even if those bullets pass through the hatIt is also difficult to continue to damage the dwarven soldiers behind the armor, although the dwarven soldiers will be injured, but they will not be fatal, and they will not even affect the combat performance too much.
But the elves are different, the elves' armor has always been simplified, and even the armor of the melee troops is extremely light, although their defense is actually good, but in the face of thermal weapons, they obviously can't play the role of defending against lead bullets, a large number of elven soldiers were hit by bullets, and they fell to the ground one after another without suitable armor, and it was difficult to be cured again.
This situation is not expected by the elven officers, the elves are already few, and now the consumption of this intensity still makes the elven officers feel a little distressed, but now it is impossible to let the elf troops retreat for this reason, and it is really unreasonable to let their people retreat because of the casualties just after the start of the fight, the situation on the front line seems to be beneficial to the coalition forces at present, but the high-level of the coalition forces have not had time to be happy, the dense artillery on the opposite wall has begun to exert its might, the density of the black hand artillery is quite high, their quality is not good, but it means that the output must be high, and the black hand almost sits on the entire city There are artillery everywhere, the muzzle of the cannon is almost one door to the other.
At this time, after waiting for the dense infantry phalanx behind the coalition forces to get close to the position, the artillery finally began to fire, and the artillery of the black hand did not have too many bursting shells, they mainly used those solid bullets, but the power of the dense solid bullets was not low, especially in the face of dense infantry columns.
Harold was right to let the dwarven soldiers maintain a relatively loose formation, but this kind of use is really not very useful, because there are too many black hand artillery on the opposite side, too many, the cannon fire comparable to the density of muskets hit the infantry team behind the dwarves and caused extremely huge casualties, and the dwarf soldiers are also cold weapons infantry in a loose formation, the power of this cannon is enough to kill two or three people with one cannon, and the effect of hundreds of cannons at the same time is not to say, this casualty makes the elves feel psychologically balanced in an instant, and Harold is looking at this scene in disbelief。
The previous musketeers didn't see much effect when they kept the skirmish line forward, but now this scene is different, a large number of dwarven soldiers died on the ground, this kind of mourning efficiency is obviously far higher than the death of the black hand, now the side with fewer people dies more than the side with more people, how can this work?
"Immediately let the front-line troops retreat and retreat!"
Harold was only a brief shock and immediately asked the soldiers to come back, why did Harold not think clearly, but Harold knew that his thinking time could not be consumed by the lives of soldiers, this distance was not far, there was no need to do this, this was not a trench station of World War I, for so many tens of meters to die thousands of people.
The coalition forces are coming and retreating quickly, the dwarves and elves were beaten a little frustrated in an instant, this kind of battle has made them completely unable to adapt, the shadow of a military change is getting bigger and bigger, the current battle is the best column, in the coalition army retreated, the artillery on both sides also quickly stopped, the battlefield fell into a more embarrassing situation at this moment, the coalition army could not attack, and the black hand could not fight.
It's just that both sides are not clear about the other side's thoughts at this time, Harold at this time thinks that it is difficult for him to negotiate terms with the black hand, and the black hand thinks that he should be able to negotiate terms with the coalition forces this time, the black hand does win, but the black hand has never worried about the problem that he can't win, because the black hand knows that even if he wins this battle, there will be the next one, and the next one, no matter how good the city is, there will be a day when it will be completely destroyed, the black hand is weak not because of its own combat effectiveness, but the overall strength, the black hand only has a hole, and the coalition army uses almost three-quarters of the entire Middle-earth land, they really aren't an opponent of a magnitude.
"What should we do? If we can't fight this time, it will affect the coalition's plan to defeat Mordor, do we need the coalition to send more troops?"
A Terran officer was expressing his concerns, he didn't say that he didn't care about the black hand and went directly to fight Mordor, although helping the dwarves was for the tens of thousands of troops of the dwarves, but if the price of helping the black hands was greater than the benefits they get, then it would really be a bit more than worth the loss, the Terrans and elves really didn't need to do this for the dwarves, but in fact, everyone understood a truth, to fight Mordor, then it meant to have their backs to the Sacred Mountain Range, and there was a powerful Black Hand clan in the Sacred Mountain Range that could threaten the back of the coalition army, which obviously did not compound the combat intentions of the coalition army, so no matter whatThe problem of the black hand must be solved, even if it is costly.
"It's a pity that this is not the outside world, otherwise our Terran's newest air and space fleet will definitely be able to blow these black hands to pieces!"
The Terran officer complained a little, and the elf did not speak on the side with a gloomy face, just now the elf died a lot of people, but in the end it did not work at all, Harold knew that the current situation was not very good, but Harold still quickly thought of a solution.
"Why do we have to kill all the black hands? we are not here to fight the black hands today, we just need to be able to beat the black hands and listen to us, for example..."
"Bombardment!"
The artillery of the coalition army has a distance advantage, coupled with the great power of artillery, it is completely possible to flood the city of the black hand with endless artillery fire, although it is a little full, but it is extremely safe, and it can force the black hand to a dead end, if it is replaced by the black hand to take the initiative to attack, then the effect will be different, and then the coalition army will slaughter the black hand soldiers.
Harold's words lit up the others, and they looked at each other, and it was indeed an idea.
"Not only the dwarven and Terran artillery, but our elven crossbows can also be reloaded with incendiary bombs to drop flames into the city, and we are much faster than yours and can do a good job of damage. ”
The elf also proposed at this time, after all, it can kill fewer people, which is something that everyone wants to see, so just when the black hand was happily preparing to negotiate the conditions, the artillery fire of the coalition army came!
The dense artillery fire is overwhelming, the large amount of artillery fire seems to be boundless, with no stop, and after the elf crossbow machine joined, this firepower was even more promoted to the strongest, countless slender flames shot towards the city one after another, the powerful penetrating power of the crossbow machine made the crossbow machine able to penetrate the periphery of the house defense, the flames into the house, the house can have too much combustibles, these combustibles burned quickly, and even more surprising to the coalition forces, the black hand is afraid of the black hand in the city stored a large amount of gunpowder, after these gunpowder met Mars, it was only a very short time, and there was a violent explosionThis explosion after explosion quickly formed a chain reaction in the city.
This situation made the people present look at each other, no wonder there are so many artillery in the black hand, it turns out that it has achieved this level of national production, every household is almost a part of the production of the arsenal, from these massive small family workshops flow out of the firearm parts, and finally are assembled into a firearm, musket and artillery assembly line set aside.
Harold looked at the black hand city that fell into a sea of fire in an instant with satisfaction, and under such firepower, the black hand would soon be unable to support it and chose to surrender.
