Chapter 1099: Groundhog
Wallad, who had already followed out of the city to command, didn't care about the other party's collection of the remnants at this time—because even if he wanted to, he couldn't manage it, after all, his people were already an hour late when they came out, and they couldn't catch up now.
He single-mindedly directs two units to execute the wounded soldiers they find along the way: the heads of these enemy soldiers are all guarantees of Wallard's future military exploits, and after the "prisoner harvesting" operation is gradually over, they can't help but turn their eyes to the enemy headquarters that have already lined up in defensive formation...
The three layers of the headquarters built near the river were well protected, but after the troops in front of them retreated, only about 7,000 soldiers were left who tried to gather them - 20,000 troops who attacked, about 3,000 were killed or wounded by artillery shelling, more than 4,000 were killed or wounded by cannibalism and stampede, and less than 6,000 deserters were scattered on the battlefield and may never be found again.
The biggest problem of the "miscellaneous soldiers" is the poor cohesion, and once there is a "headwind" situation, there is no loyalty at all. As a commander, Udora was mentally prepared to accept defeat, but the problem was that her army didn't even have time to fight, but after about ten minutes of shelling, her troops were wiped out, and no one could accept this gap calmly...
"It's not a spell, what the hell is that?!Why does Rasiman attack like this?"
Eudora was pale, and although she still had enough soldiers, she knew that she could not take the initiative to attack at this time - low morale was one thing, and the main thing was what weapons the enemy used, and they still didn't know what kind of weapons the enemy used.
If you can't counter it, you can't force it with an army of 100,000.
"My lord, based on the deserter's return, we can be sure that this thing is probably not a spell, but the power of the explosion is similar to that of a spell - there was an attack on the area where a group of priests was located, but there was no explosion, which means that the 'Forbidden Demon Domain' can still work..."
The staff's words finally made Eudora breathe a slight sigh of relief, because it meant that the most fundamental advantage in their hands had not disappeared, but could still turn the tide of the battle.
Before the discussion could go further, a soldier rushed in and reported: "My lord, the enemy has surrounded you!"
"What about coming around, line up, beat them back!"
Eudora clenched her fists with a gloomy expression: "Hit hard!"
The horn sounded one after another, and at this time, of course, Eudora would not let the remnants turn their heads to fight, and the battle was not a swarm for everyone to attack, so there were more than three thousand reserves outside the command just now, which had never moved. At this time, the remnants of the demoralized were gathered inside, the archers were adjusted to the center so that they could support the sides at any time, the priests in black robes stood in various positions with the staff in their hands, and the morale of the soldiers on the outside was not low, plus they were all elite troops of various countries, and the military appearance looked extremely neat.
The Rasiman troops, which were advancing from both directions, were gradually closing together at this time and stopped advancing.
Naturally, Wallad did not go into battle in person, he led a reserve of more than 2,000 people, standing not far from the army of the Karen Kingdom, passing orders through scouts running back and forth.
The enemy's headquarters in front was very small, and the appearance of the army was only 3,000 men in a circle outside. The remnants that had been gathered were visibly disorganized, covered in mud and even scarred, walking towards the rear.
Eudora did not cross the river with all the troops, but left more than eight thousand auxiliaries on the other side of the river to be responsible for running the food.
Therefore, at present, the commander is full of more than 10,000 soldiers, and more than seventy percent of them are demoralized and unable to fight.
Wallard immediately realized that his opportunity had come: the 4,000 men who had left the city were now in high spirits because they had harvested a lot of heads, and he had a reserve of nearly 2,000 men, totaling more than 6,000, all of whom were combatable...
Although the total number is not as large as the opponent, this is a plain, the enemy is not in danger, and more than half of them are deserters, and morale is extremely unstable. As long as you can break through a line of defense in one go, I am afraid that the opposite side will immediately collapse and flee - the rear is the Ram River, once it breaks and escapes, there will definitely be many people who will choose to forcibly cross the river to escape, and this river is not too wide, if you really swim forcibly, it is estimated that countless enemies will be drowned directly in the river!
"Lord Wallard, do you want to fight next?"
The adjutant next to him saw his hesitation, and they were far more inclined to fight than Wallad - after all, in the army, if you run away when you see an enemy, you don't even think about "getting promoted and getting rich".
"Fight! Feint on the west side, put Custer's team on the east side, and throw the reserves up if you can break through all the way! You-go and ask the Karen Kingdom if they can provide support, if their weapons can help, then it will be nine out of ten!"
"Yes!"
The assembled team quickly lined up for the attack, and the army team, which had two artillery vehicles named "Marmot", also contacted the command and replied to Wallard that "artillery support is available", but also stated that "the power of the 'Marmot' artillery vehicle is far less powerful than that of the Vulcan cannon in the city".
Valad ignored the hint because he thought he could do it on his own, and the other side was just icing on the cake. Therefore, Wallard could not wait to give the order to attack, and immediately began to ask the mage next to him to provide fire support.
Laciman's troops, if nothing else, are always sufficient in number. When the distance between the two sides was still 400 meters, more than a dozen fireballs had begun to fall in clusters, but it was expected... Spells disappear instantly above the enemy formation.
Two phalanxes of 1,500 men by Wallard simultaneously attacked in two directions of the enemy's position. The archers on both sides began to shoot at a distance of two hundred meters, and soldiers on both sides began to fall, but the Rasiman soldiers were better equipped and the mages used spells to defend, so the rain of arrows did not help.
"Bang!
The two "groundhog" artillery vehicles of the Karen Kingdom began to fire at the same time, and in a deafening sound, the shells fell directly near the headquarters in the center of the enemy's military formation, blowing up two camp tents on the spot!
However, the existence of the "Forbidden Demon Domain" prevented the spar shells from exploding, and even because there was no one in the camp at this time, the two shells did not cause any casualties at all.
However, this sound and the collapsed camp tent actually boosted the morale of the attacking Rasiman soldiers - because of the small caliber and small shells of the "groundhog" artillery vehicle, the firing structure has been close to the level of "burst" after continuous iterations.
The giant cannon has about five rounds a minute, and it also needs to be cooled. The Groundhog's cannon can fire a shell every five seconds, and after firing ten in a row, it doesn't take too long to cool down before it can be used in the next round, and this kind of shell can pose enough threat even if it is not loaded with hedron shells, only solid metal shells.
It itself was designed to be a "tank" with continuous offensive capability within 500 meters to suppress the enemy's firepower. At this time, the barrels of the two "groundhogs" were directly aimed at the headquarters where Eudora was, and without saying a word, they began to shoot continuously!
