Chapter 875: Goblin Battle
Heavy rain in the sky
Drain and drain?? Drain
Drain and drain?? The next one doesn't stop
A creek in the valley
Bang la la la?? La-la
Bang la la la?? The flow doesn't stop
????????????

The random heavy rain made Charles a little depressed, looking at the clouds, this rain was going to rain for at least a day.
In such weather, the bowstring will be discarded after a few uses, and the breech gun will not be used.
Without long-range strike weapons, the goblins' hit-and-run tactics would be impossible.
It was the third day of the competition, and since yesterday afternoon, the two sides have been engaged in a fierce battle for the mine in the middle of the battlefield.
After the early resource collection was completed, the two sides found that this map was a bit tricky, that is, most of the resources other than timber were concentrated in the middle zone, and it was obvious that the two sides would compete here.
Charles had no choice but to let the goblins fight in the woods the old way.
After all, goblins didn't have crossbow arrows or breech guns before.
More than 300 years ago, a veteran who survived the war said:
"What do you say you can do with only one dagger on the battlefield?"
"Hmmm......"
"What to say. ”
"It's a weapon, but it's really useless. ”
"You said you used it to cut your neck?"
"Then you have to have a neck to stick it out in front of you, unless you want to cut yourself. ”
"The main weapon?"
"Stupid!!"
"How could that be done. ”
"But if it's a goblin......"
"You understand, right?"
"That's a goblin!"
Lightning connected the sky and the earth, and thunder rolled through.
The cavalry marching through the woods were marching on the muddy ground, their hooves splashing with each fall.
In bad weather, the two sides are more of a contest of wills.
Whoever can overcome the difficulties brought about by nature will be victorious.
In an audience box, Artoria said to her disciples, "This cavalry hundred-man team is finished, and they have entered the goblin ambush circle. ”
Gawain asked in surprise, "Where are the goblins around?"
Artoria adjusted the perspective of the map, kept pointing her finger on it, and said, "Inside the leaves, among the bushes, there are twenty goblins in ambush in these places. ”
"It's only twenty?!" Mordred was surprised this time, "it's too much, isn't it?"
Artoria shook her head and said, "Just right. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the branches that were blown by the wind suddenly moved a little.
If it weren't for the master's reminder, the hot pot knights wouldn't have noticed the green figure jumping between the branches, and thought that the wind blowing the branches had changed.
The cavalry in the woods didn't even notice the web of death weaving overhead, only to watch out for a deep ditch in the ground that had been flooded.
In the bushes less than ten meters behind the side, five goblin warriors suddenly jumped out without warning.
They had no armor on them, just pants as green as their skin and waistcoats with a few throwing knives stuck in them.
The goblins swung their hands like lightning, and slashed their knives through the rain and shot them straight into the cavalry's necks.
None of these throwing knives missed, and in an instant, eight cavalrymen were killed, and two were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
The attacked cavalry immediately turned their horses and prepared to launch a counterattack, when a second round of throwing knives attacked.
This time, the knife was aimed at the horse's leg, and the wounded horse scurried in a hurry, instantly disrupting a corner of the cavalry formation.
Just as the cavalry's attention was attracted by the goblins who turned around and ran, green shadows fell from the sky along with throwing knives, and landed accurately on the cavalry's body.
A goblin stomped on a cavalryman's helmet with the force of the fall, then landed behind him, slashing his dagger around his neck as he dizzy.
With a single blow, the goblin jumped behind the other horseman, thrust the dagger through the gap in the armor around his neck, and then churned.
These cavalrymen were light cavalry, not iron cans, and daggers were patronized where the armor could not protect.
The goblins kept jumping behind the chaotic cavalry, and they specifically chose the panicked cavalry and the cavalry that were ready to attack the other goblins, and they never stayed for long.
Some cavalrymen tried to form back-to-back formations to fend off the enemy, but their horses immediately attracted throwing knives.
In less than a minute, the cavalry hundred-man squad preparing to occupy a gold mine was wiped out by one-fifth of their own goblins, and the goblins lost only a few wounded.
Gao Wen and the others suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and when they thought about it, they found that their performance in such a situation was not necessarily much better than those cavalry.
Lancelot pondered and said, "I remember that there is a legend about goblins in the west of my hometown, and it is said that there is a goblin called the 'Green Demon of the Demon Race' who is active there. ”
Geraint immediately answered, "I've also heard the story of that goblin, who is said to have helped adventurers at times, beaten them up at times, and is said to have uncovered several plots of adventurers killing each other. ”
Artoria pretended not to know what they were talking about, and it was not time to tell them that the goblin's daughter was Charles's eldest disciple.
She won't tell her disciples that this thing caused trouble a few years ago, and after learning that Charles was the crown prince, she pinched her fingers and said that her daughter was the second heir of the demon king, and now it seems that she has been appointed to carry the railroad tracks in the northern desert.
She said to her disciples, "Goblins are the darlings of the forest, where they can be protected by nature, and can even use trees to heal their diseases and injuries. ”
"Powerful goblins can merge with the forest and absorb power from the forest. ”
"If you're going to fight a goblin, first avoid the woods. ”
The hot pot knights carefully wrote down the master's words, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter in the future.
Mordred asked, "Mom, have you ever fought a goblin before?"
Artoria suddenly remembered something, and the whole person suddenly became murderous, and the dull hair on the top of her head suddenly turned into a lightning rod.
She said hatefully, "I've beaten a whole bunch of goblins. ”
That was a long time ago, when she was on her way home from her night shift when she met a group of drunken goblins who called her ugly......
Goblins are being discussed, and the battle on the battlefield is getting more and more intense.
Cynthia planned to take advantage of the bad weather to occupy a resource area, so she sent several teams ranging in number from 100 to 500.
All of these teams met the goblins who dropped their crossbow arrows, breech guns, and jumped out of the Timberwolf saddle.
It's just that the goblins took advantage of the geographical advantage to occupy a big advantage in the confrontation and thwarted Cynthia's attempt to occupy the resource area.
The rain slowed down the delivery of the news, and he was stunned for a moment when he received the battle report.
He arranged the goblins according to the textbooks of the Rurik Royal Military Academy, but he didn't expect to achieve such a terrifying result.
Even if there are large losses on individual battlefields, in general, the Goblins can fight against a team of 100 or less in this battle, they can only fight 1 against 2 when the enemy number is 300, and barely 3 against 2 when the enemy reaches 500.
One rule that can be drawn from this is that the goblin's combat power is directly proportional to its suddenness and the degree of confusion of the enemy.
With a large number of goblins, it is difficult for the goblins to achieve the suddenness of the ambush by concealing themselves, and the enemy will quickly recover from the chaos of being ambushed and assemble in a formation due to the better command structure.
At the end of the day, goblins are light infantry, and arguably the lightest. Fighting positional warfare and shaking tight military formations is not what they are good at.
Charles had a plan in mind, and he asked the staff team to arrange for the goblins to press forward steadily, compressing the space on Cynthia's side.
