Chapter 594: Killing
Mobile reading
The meat of the burrower is surprisingly delicious, a bite is a bit like lobster meat, tight and delicate, fresh and fragrant, even if no spices are added, it makes people move their appetite and can't stop, if it weren't for the battle that was about to start, Diego would have to put Brian? Copperbeard gave him this large piece of digging worm roast meat and eat it whole.
But right now, he didn't have the time to take his time, because a whole bunch of zombies, oh no, demons were coming this way. Standing on the top of the bunker and looking southwest, half a mile away to the end of the horizon, there were surging demon heads everywhere, looking like a wriggling carpet on the ground. All kinds of roars were incessant, all kinds of fierce gods and vicious faces, and strange and hideous faces filled the entire field of vision.
Diego roughly estimated that the demons had invested at least five legions in this attack, almost twice as many as the defenders - they were desperate to do so!
The demons ran for about half an hour - this was a mistake in coordination, in fact, it was not a mistake, the main reason was that the coalition forces eliminated the underground raiders too quickly, and before the demon army reached the battlefield, these insects and small demons that popped out of the underground had been completely wiped out, and the demons did not buy the expected time at all. The League defenders could even calmly regroup their fortifications and move into position, and everything seemed to be in order.
"Fire!" The moment the demons stepped into range of the M1 rifle, Harry? Bogard roared loudly.
The sound of three and a half Moon Creek Brigade companies and a dwarven company firing at the same time resounded across the battlefield, and the swishing sound of bullets tearing through the air was everywhere over the wilderness. These companies were all armed with the new M1 rifles, which far surpassed the ordinary dwarven muskets of this era in terms of range and power.
However, surprisingly, the casualties of the demons were not as many as people expected, through the scope of the death gaze, Diego was surprised to find that the demons who rushed to the forefront were holding a "shield" in their hands, these strange-shaped "shields" were made of all kinds of materials, from huge turtle shells, entire tree trunks, giant scales of unknown creatures, to bone clubs tied into rafts, monster skulls cut in half, all kinds of things, Some demons even held a whole tombstone in their hands that they didn't know where to dig out, tired and panting, and walking as slowly as a turtle.
But in any case, these "shields" played a good protective role, and when the coalition forces fired a salvo, the number of demons that fell was less than a hundred. This is the first time since the M1 rifle was massively thrown into the battlefield of the Cursed Lands. It seems that the destruction of the Demon Legion that attacked the bunker last time finally caught the attention of the Burning Legion's higher-ups, and by questioning the survivors, they quickly found a way to deal with this new weapon.
However, it is also an unprecedented change for the demons, who are known for their bravery, bloodthirsty and brutality, the shield is a weapon used by the weak, and the truly strong will only wield a battle axe and heavy sword to chop the shield that the cowards rely on to hide like a crab shell, and then enjoy the delicious tender meat inside.
"It's not our tradition!"
"It's a disgrace to the devil!"
"I'm not going to die with such a ridiculous little thing! This thing isn't as pleasant as an axe! ”
As if they had exploded, the demons resisted this order extremely strongly, and it was not until the whip of the Great Demon King Kurul was whipped down in a rage that they honestly picked one of the shields that looked like they had been hastily put together. As for the hardliner who "won't use a shield when he dies", Kurul had to really use a big axe to give him a good time.
Judging from today's actual combat results, it is clear that this reform has achieved remarkable results. Looking at the demon army charging at high speed, Diego's brows furrowed tightly.
"Mortars, bombard their charging line!" Diego shouted at the portable bronze mortar group behind the bunker. Generally speaking, mortars with extremely high ballistic arcs are more suitable for bombarding dense crowds in depth, if they bombard the enemy's charging line, the power is not the best, but in order to break through the shield array at the front, they have to do so.
With a dense burst of cannons, columns of smoke suddenly rose from the charging array of the demons on the opposite side, and each posture shot straight into the sky. It has to be said that the dwarven gunners were very skilled in shooting, and almost all the shells hit accurately. In the smoke, the fragments of the shield and the broken limbs were scattered in all directions, and some demons could be vaguely seen blowing up into the sky, falling heavily with blood. When the demons rushed out of the gray-black billowing smoke, the originally neat charging array had already appeared a few large gaps, as if they had been bitten by an invisible mouth.
The hillside bunker was a bare wilderness in front of it, with minimal undulations, but it was an excellent location for the current defenders, and was very conducive to long-range firepower. Without an order, the riflemen had already spontaneously aimed at the gaps and fired fiercely.
Without the shield of their shields, the demons behind the gap were suddenly struck by lightning and trembled and fell to a large area. The screams also rang out uncontrollably, and there were demons planted everywhere. But for the demons who are violent by nature, this is not enough to quench their bloodthirsty desires, on the contrary, they rush even harder!
The rifles of the coalition forces were already hitting row after row, and bullets were pouring out. But the demons still didn't stop, they continued to rush towards this side of the hill, their formation was chaotic, but it was also doubly dense. When they finally rushed to the foot of the slope, the demons who had been distracted threw their shields in their hands, and suddenly protruded their heads towards the pigs on the mountain.
As for the demons, once they attack, they rarely retreat, and if they don't receive the order to retreat, they will even rush until they are finished. Really responded to that sentence, the more stupid, the more brutal, the more fierce!
However, their momentum was quickly stopped, because in front of the dwarven bunker, the coalition forces had built a total of three layers of defense, the foremost of which was about fifty meters deep, then several low walls guarded by the dwarven warriors, and finally the trench where the riflemen were located. Now, in front of the demons lay thousands of sharp wooden stakes.
The mad and chaotic demons rushed into the deer barn like wild boars rushing into the sugar cane forest. From the outside, the deer stakes are not very remarkable, only 50 meters deep, and after being ravaged by the digging insects, many of the sharp wooden stakes have become crooked and unshaped. But when they rushed to the front in the pouring rain of bullets, the demons realized that this jungle of thorns was completely different from what it looked like on the outside!
The thick and sharp wooden stakes are formed into a triangle, twisted together with thick subway wires, and deeply inserted into the ground, and the roots are also fixed with spikes. Between these triangular wooden stakes, thick wires are still wrapped around like vines! There were dense sharp spikes twisted on the wire, and even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned demons were full of blood.
The demons who rushed up gasping for breath were dumbfounded, and they found that this piece of deer could neither be avoided nor moved. Some demons tried to get through the wires, but found that the wires were so dense that there were no gaps in them, and there were also rings made of thin wires on the ground, and once the hooves stepped into them, the wire ferrules would be tightened, and the traps used by hunters to trap rabbits could be strangled even if a bison stepped into them. More than one demon stepped into it, they wailed and struggled desperately, but they tightened more and more, almost cutting off their feet and necks, and in the end the whole person rolled in the cobweb-like wire around them, unable to exert their strength, unable to stand, and every time they struggled, they would be cut out of blood holes by these spiked wires!
There were more and more demons rushing over, and in the blink of an eye, a large area had already been squeezed in front of this deer barn. The demons in front were squeezed by the surge from behind, and threw themselves into the barbed wire, but they were entangled and unable to move, like insects stained with cobwebs. But the rifles on the hillside were still firing incessantly, splashing blood in the piles of people, and screaming to the ground.
The winged Dreaddemons and Doomsday Guards did not hesitate to flap their wings and try to fly over the deer, but without the protection of their shields, their fragile bat wings were blasted into tattered rags under the intense rifle fire, and they fell headlong into the deer. Some of the demon officers shouted orders to organize the Burning Imps and Eredar Warlocks to fight back in order to suffocate the rifle fire on the hillside. Some demons went crazy and slashed at the deer and barbed wire with their tomahawks and heavy swords, trying to cut a bloody path, but they only felt a pang of despair when they looked at the thick, sharp wooden stakes and crisscrossed the barbed wire.
The surging tide of demons struggled in the deep area of the deer, and the dead people were incalculable one by one. But there were many more demons who arrived out of breath and rushed up the hillside in droves. The demons squeezed more and more, until at last they almost squeezed into a wall of flesh and blood. The rifle shooters didn't have to aim at all, and when the bullets didn't miss, all kinds of screams and wails mixed with the sound of gunfire, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
The Alliance riflemen reaped their lives like scythe-wielding grim reapers, and between the deer, in front of the barbed wire, there were a mixture of rotten flesh and broken weapons and armor! The hillside, which was not steep, was already covered with the corpses of demons that had died in various postures, and in some places they were even stacked layer by layer. Spring-like blood gushed out of the wounds, and the originally dry land soon reached its carrying limit, losing its ability to absorb blood, allowing the red liquid to flow down the mountain like a stream!
This is the amazing effect of the combination of deer and barbed wire, and their most important role is not to inflict much damage, but to delay the enemy's movement and provide enough distance and time for long-range fire. It has to be said that the debut of barbed wire, a weapon of warfare, which debuted for the first time in Azeroth, was perfect.
Looking at the hellish scene in front of them, the dwarven soldiers in front of the low wall were all pale, and some of them were almost about to vomit. They were not new to the battlefield, and many of them were even experienced in battles, but this was the first time they had seen such an almost slaughter-like battle.
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the demons, I would definitely condemn you for this vicious method!" Standing next to Diego, Brian? Copperbeard said with an ugly face. To be honest, when Diego came up with the idea to arrange the deer defense in this way, he was quite unimpressed in his heart - what can this thin barbed wire fence do? Even if the dwarves covered in plate armor roll in for a few times, they won't be hurt much! But he forgot one thing, the demons were rarely wearing heavy armor, and this group of irascible war maniacs were all masters who were blindfolded by the blood of the killing, and they wanted to fight naked!
"And now?" Diego asked with a smile.
"It's just amazing, damn it couldn't have been better! This is really a genius idea, and no race can come up with it except for cunning humans! Brian patted his thigh and exclaimed.
