Chapter 188: The Wind and Rain (8)

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a small ambush can change the entire tide of battle. And even more so with well-planned raids.

When the Maginot Pass was occupied, Marr was the first to know.

It also didn't have to fight the Dragon's Breath at the Iowa Ferry, and he was going to attack the Rune coalition flank from the Maginot Pass.

At the same time, he also left more than 100,000 troops at the Iowa Ferry, so that the Dragon's Breath Army could not support with peace of mind.

Marr marched with 80,000 men to the Maginot Pass.

After all, opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and they must be seized.

Camille had been waiting for Mar, who had been laying down the Maginot Line, and he should have immediately started attacking the Rune coalition from the flank. But he didn't.

It's not that he cherishes his soldiers and wants the dwarves to be substitutes for the dead. The reason for this is that the cost of magic is too great, and many priests need time to recover.

Without divine magic, soldiers can only wear thin paper-like armor and go into battle. It's to die.

Dwarves, on the other hand, are born with divine powers and can wear heavier armor. And because of its short stature, the area of the bomb is also small. He is a good hand at charging into battle.

Mar didn't bother to intrigue with Camille, after a brief meeting. Marl led a large army to attack the flank of the Roune coalition.

However, his opponent does not seem to be simple.

Mars learned of the fall of the Maginot Pass and quickly formed a makeshift defensive line around it.

When it was impossible to recapture the Maginot Pass, the army was immediately put into defense. The soldiers on his hands are mainly composed of the lord's private soldiers, and a small number of Iron Shield Legions. About 30,000 people. This is the maximum number of people to be drawn without breaking the line of defense.

And Mars could face enemies several times larger than himself.

Marshall now needs to shrink the defensive line, from Iowa Ferry to Greenwood Peak to Stone Mountain City to the Wind Knights. But it will take time. Mars, for his part, had to buy enough time for Marshall.

The hastily built line of defense soon ushered in its quality inspection.

The dwarven legions soon arrived, and after ten kilometers straight from the Maginot Pass, without stopping, the dwarves began to attack.

However, in the first wave of attacks, the Rune coalition army had Iron Fist Type 2, which made the pig in the dwarf cold weapon era suddenly advance into a pig only to advance.

The shotguns fired by Tekken II left a lasting impression on Mal.

However, he reacted quickly, and the tactics of the Iowa ferry were once again on display.

Obscuring the view of the allied gunners of the Rune Army with smoke grenades.

This time it worked, mainly because the Rune coalition did not have qualified gunners and could not use the Iron Fist II correctly. Otherwise, with the range and accuracy of rifled cannons, the dwarves would not have had a chance to fire their cannons at close range.

The smoke did a job, providing good cover for the charging soldiers. Shortened the death zone from 800 meters to 100 meters.

Thick smoke lingered on the battlefield for a long time, and the smell of sulfur filled every corner.

Mars seemed to be about to see a dark shadow coming out of the fog.

This battle was very unpleasant, it was originally the Shenjia Army that was ambushed, but I didn't expect to wait for a few days for the Dwarf Army to come. Didn't the Holy Armor know that they had missed the best offensive window, and Marshall had mobilized a large number of soldiers to hold the second front in the past few days.

This is a good thing, but the bad thing is that their defense line is built against the Terracotta.

The gentle slope was not conducive to the cavalry charge of the Divine Armor Army, and the wide field of view also made it impossible for the Armor Army to sneak attack in the middle of the night.

The dwarves are different, however, and their long stamina allows them to handle the long slopes with ease.

And the flat terrain allows them to use their guns as they please.

The most important thing is that his subordinates are not Dragon's Breath Legion and have no experience dealing with dwarves. When you see a fierce and nimble dwarf, you can be a little scared.

"Agri, Agri!"

This is the slogan of the dwarf charge.

"Fire, fire. ”

The cannonballs flew out of the barrel with a whistling sound, bursting in the air, and countless small iron beads formed an iron rain and flew towards the dwarf.

Puff, puff.

At this time, the white mist began to take on a little blood, but the speed of the charge still did not decrease.

The first black shadow burst out of the white smoke, followed by several bullets coming at him.

The face, abdomen, legs suffered different blows. But he didn't die, and that's not a good thing. He would lose his life in intense pain and blood loss.

The soldier who fired the shot then switched to another gun from his partner.

This is a two-arm system that Mars changed according to the characteristics of the musket.

To increase the rate of fire, Mars would have a partner for each musketeer. Responsible for reloading. This allowed the musketeer to concentrate on shooting, which also improved the musketeer's marksmanship.

The only downside is that each musketeer has to be equipped with two muskets, which greatly reduces the number of musketeers, and the sacrifice is worth it from the point of view of the effect.

Immediately after, the second and third figures rushed out of the white mist.

More and more dwarves are coming.

Bang bang~

The constant sound of spring came, and the speed of the shooting could be heard to be much faster.

Now the enemy density no longer needs to be targeted, and you can basically hit by shooting in a general direction.

The artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the artillery, they were not specially trained, they could only adjust according to their feelings. What level of accuracy can be imagined.

Mars had complained that if the artillery felt better, he would have been able to leave the Iron Shield Legion with more than half a year's worth of military spending.

So the role of artillery at the moment is too small.

If the Iron Fist were here, the dwarves might not be able to get within twenty meters, even if they were covered by smoke. It's been a long time since they've run into an army that has been overly iron-clad.

But the situation at this moment is that the dwarves have already started hand-to-hand combat with the Rune coalition forces.

The first dwarf rushed into the trench and, unsurprisingly, was hacked to death with a knife. Immediately, more dwarves rushed in, and with the advantage of their height, they began to kill in all directions.

These tall runnes were simply not able to effectively attack the dwarves who moved nimbly under their feet. The dwarves, on the other hand, can jump up and stab them in the abdomen.

The initial chaos was quickly stopped, and the soldiers discovered the dwarves' weaknesses. Head!

Hitting the dwarf's skull with great force, even if it can't be knocked to death, it can stun the dwarf.

Of course, they found a better way to climb out of the trenches. Attack the dwarves from above.

The dwarves had difficulty climbing the trenches due to their height, and the ladder was withdrawn by the Rune coalition forces. They can only be beaten passively. The situation was reversed in an instant.

Soon a loud horn sounded, which was a signal to retreat. The dwarves in the trenches, with the help of their companions, quickly retreated along the way they came.

I don't know if it's because of the downhill effort, or because of the height of the situation that makes the situation unfavorable. The dwarves retreated quickly.
