Chapter 424: Blocking (2)

"Now, we can see it from here."

Barthes. Willy pointed to the busy crowd at the foot of the mountain, "The fortifications of the Lord's Guard are in the final stages, and they have built four rows of strong barrage fences, as well as digging hidden pits and communication ditches. I guess the Hulks are watching our movements, so those traps on the periphery of the open shouldn't be of much use. ”

Stand in Barthes. Willy's side of Murat Major General Bilin. Hegel nodded, she pointed to the cavalry captain under her command, "All the cavalry are gathered in the rear of the Panlong Ridge, you can see here, if the battle situation is unfavorable to our army, my cavalry team will charge from the right side of Panlong Ridge, and the cavalry squadron of the city defense army will charge from the left side, harassing the rear of the Hulk attacking the top team." ”

Barthes. Willy nodded slightly, and he looked at the Marquis, who had been silent.

"According to the deployment of the lord, Lord Pang Sen led the scout troops to ambush in the forest on the left side of the central position. We still don't know exactly how many forces the Hulk has, so it is necessary to ambush a blocking force in the forest on the left, if they outnumber us, the fools will fight us head-on, and they will definitely send an assault force to outflank our rear. When the time comes...... It's up to Lord Ponson! ”

Speaking of which, Barthes. Willie looked at Stilwell, who was expressionless. Ponson.

"Actually, the shape of the battlefield is beneficial to us."

Hathaway, she pointed to a direction on the right flank of the heights and said: "It is a corner on the edge of the heights, but the protruding hills on both sides of the heights can completely block the enemy's view, that is a natural hiding hole, if they can get rid of the frontal battlefield and charge the right flank of our army, which is seemingly alone, then I will definitely give them an unforgettable surprise." Behind the Hulk is the Black Forest Fortress, as long as we can hold out for a while, and wait for the Black Forest Fortress to send troops, we can form a front and back attack.

However, my biggest concern is the positive. Obviously, the enemy has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and our defensive posture must be seen by them, but we still don't know which types of troops the other side will put into it! So...... I felt that the scope of the fortifications should be further extended to the mountains. Prevent the enemy's superior forces from charging, those wooden fences can stop the kobolds, but they will not do much to the Hulk, they will swarm up until they reach the top. ”

Barthes. Willy nodded, "It's my lord, I'll go and set it up!" Actually, I'm also worried about this, the Hulk will definitely choose a quick strategy, that is, their initial tentative attack will be extremely fierce and tenacious, because they are fighting alone in our territory, and in order to avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated, they will definitely try to end the battle quickly. ”

Hathaway sighed lowly, since the Hulk dared to send a force deep into the Cordillera, then this force must be the strongest elite of the Hulk clan!

Although Hathaway was accustomed to being outnumbered, that meant that in the case of the same human troops, the Hulk was far superior to the human soldiers. Hathaway searched for the battle examples in her mind, but she couldn't find the answers.

Cheering up, Hathaway looked at Villa, the leader of the special operations team. Arwen, "Captain Arwen, once the battle starts, do you know what to do when the time comes?" ”

"Of course!"

Villa. Arwen puffed out his chest rather proudly, and despite his nervousness, the guy used the short time to develop a strategy for using artillery fire to block the entire battlefield.

"Look, everybody!" He spread out a roll of parchment, and saw a jumble of lines and symbols drawn on it.

"This is our central position, we will have ten mortars. Eight guns were aimed at the open ground directly in front, and the remaining two were aimed at the left and right flanks. With Panlong Ridge as the center of the circle, I divide the open area into eight fan-shaped distribution areas, each area has its own numerical code, and I distinguish each distance in the area with a different color, for example, if I want to shell the Green Fourth area, then all the artillery will adjust the firing angle according to this direction, if it is the red one, then the muzzle will immediately move in this direction......"

Hathaway also did not take a course in artillery, she was in the SWAT unit, listening to some instructors discuss the use of bazookas, mortars to deal with organized large-scale terrorist activities, wrote down, coupled with her understanding of the needs of war, compiled an artillery textbook, and these special combat personnel are the first people to be trained, as far as the current situation is concerned, the training results are quite satisfactory, this parchment like a book in the sky, is the first formal artillery fire demonstration map in the Titan world.

At this moment, several snow vultures flew in from a distance, circled above Panlong Ridge, and slowly landed.

"My lord, the mortar is here!" Villa. Arwen was immediately overjoyed.

"Let's go arrange a mortar position." Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

In the first two battles, the Hulk was actually quite aggrieved. On the one hand, their main force was the one that crossed the Hengduan Mountains, and most of the battle mages were in that force; On the other hand, it was the tactics adopted by the Cordillera City Defence and the use of new weapons that caught them off guard. However, this time the situation is different.

Not only did the Hulk's forces join forces with the kobolds, but it was a premeditated military operation, and although the encounter between the two sides was somewhat sudden, on the whole, the Hulk had the upper hand.

……

"When?"

"Report to your Excellency, it's 1:40 p.m."

Barton. Savile nodded slightly, and although he was not very optimistic, he could tell that the Hulk commander was not worried about the upcoming battle.

"My lord, from the point of view of intelligence, this is really a strange combination."

His operational staff officer, Anthony. Pahn came to his side: "On the small Panlong Ridge, dwarves, humans, barbarians, half-elves and half-orcs can make a great alliance of races. ”

Barton. Savile sighed helplessly: "For us, this is an inexplicable encounter, the human forces on the opposite side must have their goals and intentions, but I believe that it is definitely not to stop us." For them, this is a blocking battle, even if the strength is 10% of ours, they have to hold their positions. ”

"But...... Their central position is well run! Why dig those trenches? Do you want to fight us in the ditch? Kobolds are more suitable for this type of fighting."

Anthony. Pahn looked out at the battlefield in the distance through the thick forest, "Their fences and traps are well arranged, and it can be seen that the other side is a veteran of actual combat, and even if we can eat them, our own losses will exceed our pre-battle estimates." ”

A kobold leader came up playfully: "My lord, do you need to say hello to the other party's supreme commander?" ”

"Of course!"

Barton. Saville nodded, "Haven't humans always been very chivalrous?" We should also follow the customs, which is the most basic courtesy. We came to visit without permission, and since we were discovered, we should at least maintain our knightly demeanor. ”

The hulks and kobold leaders around them all laughed softly, especially the flattering kobolds, who laughed like a dead duck. Savile couldn't help but frown.

He looked at his herald, "Are the troops in charge of the roundabout raid and outflanking the right flank ready?" ”

"Report to your lordship, the troops have assembled at the predetermined location, ready to wait for your orders."

"That's it! We said we were going to attack at 1:40, but we haven't entered the battlefield until now. "Barton. Savile raised his tomahawk and pointed ahead, "Hulk warriors! Let's strike! ”

"Fight!!"

Countless Hulk warriors in armor and battle axes began to advance, and they lined up in stragglers as they walked out of the dark forest.

"What are you doing?" Barton. Savile looked at Anthony beside him. Pahn.

"I'm looking for the commander of this unit." Anthony. Paan said as he searched through a stack of materials.

"Well, it's supposed to be the Cordillera City Defenses, it's nothing. However, the flag in the center has the coat of arms of the Thorn Bird...... This is the family coat of arms of a lord, Hathaway. Marquis Bell. ”

Anthony. Parn closed the information excitedly: "If my estimate is correct, the supreme commander of the opposing force is the lord of the Cordillera, and if we can kill or capture her, we can save a little bit of the failure of the raid......"

"Hahaha! All right! ”

Barton. Savile interrupted him, "No matter who the other side is, we're going to win!" ”

The afternoon sun revealed a warm breath, and the soldiers of the city defense army squinted their eyes and looked coldly at the enemy who walked into the sunlight one after another, they were gathering, one phalanx, another phalanx......

March 20, 911 in the green leaf calendar.

The Cordillera leads the edge of the Black Forest, and the Panlong Ridge is extremely nearby. The Cordillera Plateau, which has been quiet for a long time, has finally won a large-scale battle! They all went into battle with an inexplicable feeling, except that the Hulks were convinced that they would emerge victorious, and the city defenders were convinced that they would not allow the invaders to cross their own lines.

"Stilwell! This is the last time I ask you this question, and you must answer me seriously! Hathaway and Stilwell. Ponson said as he checked the fighters' preparations for an ambush.

"Just ask." Stilwell. Pang Sen looked puzzled.

"Why don't you get married?"

Hathaway noticed the Shadow King's reaction, and she quickly added, "Don't be impatient, I'm serious!" I think that the ability of your whole body should be inherited by a descendant. Do you ...... What's so hard to say? ”

Savoring the lord's words in surprise, the face of the Lord of Shadows darkened completely. R1152
