Chapter 31: The Battle of Bantang: The Battle of Dongying Street
It's time for street fighting again!
But this time the enemy is enough waste......
Although the expeditionary force was short of ammunition, Alexander and the others in the vanguard, relying on their strong physique, knives, and few death magic, the bulldozer was really a pleasant job. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Bantang temple complex is full of low houses, except for the temples themselves, and the messy dirt roads make the army advance very slowly.
However, the speed of the enemy's counterattack was not very good, and those local peasant soldiers were not enough to see, and the bamboo spears and kitchen knives were really not able to beat the bayonets and enchanted swords.
Of course, the mercenaries of Songguo are still very good, and the number of long-range weapons in their hands far exceeds that of the local army in Dongying, but there are not many muskets.
According to Karl (unscrupulous author is lazy), there is no army in the entire Eastern world that is as rich as the Songguo, and forty percent of an army is long-range shooters!
Without the intervention of the Western world, such an army's short-term projection capability is absolutely quite terrifying, as long as it cooperates with a certain amount of cannon fodder and fortifications, it is absolutely invincible to fight a positional war.
But this time in the battle of the Bantang Temple, their commander Murong Ying didn't know what kind of consideration, so he arranged the mercenaries around the main temple, and most of the wooden walls were guarded by local soldiers.
This is a bit embarrassing: the local army of the temple, which has almost zero long-range shooting ability, guards the outer city wall, and is directly destroyed by a wave of grenades and self-detonating zombies; The Songguo mercenaries, who are super capable of long-range shooting (compared to Dongying), stay in the narrow streets and cannot play to their advantages at all.
In fact, this is just a small mistake in the command of Miss Murong Ying, in her opinion, street fighting is more suitable to give full play to the advantage of firepower, and she is not afraid of the enemy's frontal impact at all, as long as the fortifications are not destroyed, the sparsely numbered Xiyi will definitely not be able to fight.
The problem is that street fighting has never been said, you can't go through walls!
"Stick the zombies here, be careful not to let the magic on the other side disperse!"
"Yes! Get over there, you shit! ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
The screaming zombie stood obediently in the corner of the wall, and the enemy inside was firing crossbow arrows frantically at the friendly army, and there were at least fifteen people in that position.
"Cover your ears! Signal! The squad leader shouted, and immediately a soldier took out the magic signal canister that was distributed, and a red signal flare immediately flew into the sky.
The headquarters of the expeditionary force, which was still outside the city, immediately ran to report to Lorraine, "Sir, a red flare has been found on the west side of the temple!" Request detonation! ”
"Sir, you can see flares to the south, too! There are also communication requests, where the fire is too heavy and needs support! ”
"Sir......
"Sir!"
"Don't make a noise! Give me one by one, I'm going to explode!! The brain was buzzing, and Lorraine realized at this time that it was so difficult to command an explosion on a large scale!
Even with Alexander, an unreliable guy, summoning zombie minions greatly increases the success rate of self-detonation tactics, but the problem is that the explosives still have to be detonated by Lorraine himself.
From the chaotic battlefield, finding the handful of zombies and then disturbing the magic signal on it is no less difficult than finding the one with the longest tentacles in the ant pile, which is simply inhuman!
So Lorraine's approach can only be simplified - after seeing the signal, all the zombie explosives that can be felt will be detonated!
As a result, the entire Bantang temple complex was filled with gunsmoke, black smoke and fire rising into the sky could be seen everywhere, and the enemy's resistance was of course extinguished.
"Damn it! Lorraine, this bastard, doesn't look at the dots either! ”
"Master, are you alright?"
"Of course it's okay, hurry up and help me up, you idiot!"
The scolding Alexander has just led people to raid, and he has encountered the resolute resistance of the Song people, so of course he has to use self-destructing zombies at this time.
As a result, a whole line of zombies, whether ready or in the right position, explodes, drowning enemies and allies along.
Fortunately, with the help of the Black Warrior minions, coupled with the immunity of the necromancy itself and the disregard for pain (only the flesh), his Black Warrior Commando is fine.
The problem is that the infantry squad that came with them has long been unable to find half a figure at this moment, and Alexander silently kicked away his arm at his feet, which looked a bit like the infantry of the expeditionary force.
"Master, infantry and the enemy have been destroyed, what should we do?"
"Here we go again! Keep the assault! Destroy the guardians of these false gods and find Miss Charlotte for me! ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
It seems that he is still looking for a beautiful girl who does not exist, and General Alexander's mood is not at all stable now, but it seems that he is only two hundred meters away from the main temple.
But the defenders never imagined that the enemy's speed would be so fast!
"Damn it! Are the people in front of you all rubbish? ”
"Miss, those Songguo mercenaries have retreated again!"
"What!?"
Murong Ying hurriedly picked up the binoculars, and saw that on the mercenary fortifications of the Song Kingdom a few hundred meters away, the panicked Song people were fleeing in all directions, and the crossbows and guns were thrown to the ground, completely unaware that the number of enemies did not seem to be as large as them.
Indeed, there were several battle groups who bravely rushed forward, this is not brave, it is completely because the large crossbow enchanted by the magic in their hands is too valuable, and they all went up to surrender.
"Songguo men are all soft bones, I've had enough!"
Although Lorraine didn't hear the complaint of the eldest lady on the other side, he was stunned to see that there were less than 1,000 strikers and that he had captured almost 1,500 prisoners.
"This ...... Carl ......"
"My lord, I know what you're asking." Carl smiled and waved his hand, and explained directly to Lorraine, "Although the people of Song are powerful, the problem is that they are all afraid of death. ”
"Afraid of death and still coming to be a mercenary??"
"It is precisely because the people of Song Guo are well equipped that they are generally used for projection power, and no one has ever expected them to fight in close combat!"
"I've never heard of that before...... Anyway, he is also a mercenary of the Eastern Empire, so he is not so wasteful, right? ”
"Hey, it's all the old calendar." Karl looked at the captives kneeling on the ground with disdain, and the guys were stripped naked except for the cloth clothes on their bodies.
"Since the people of Song Guo have been very weak in the military since they emphasized literature and light on military force, not to mention how the rising Batu Empire in recent years bullied them, even the small countries in southern Xinjiang are not very obedient, not to mention our Dongying."
"Maybe you think it's a little incredible, but these people who send their country dare to shoot arrows from a distance at most, once they fight in close combat or encounter a charge, even if only twenty people are killed in the thousand-person team, it is very likely that the morale will collapse on the spot and the whole battalion will flee!"
I didn't expect these mercenaries to be so wasteful, Lorraine felt that he had picked up a bargain, but the commander on the other side was said to be a great pirate of the East, so he shouldn't know about these news, right?
