Chapter 635: Sortie
At a distance of two miles, when the goblins rushed to kill at five hundred meters, all the human soldiers began to attack, and large swaths of goblins fell, some of them were clearly hit, but they still did not die, but they lost their strength, and their throats made a futile ho-ho sound.
Xia He was also looking at the illusion, and Anderson came up hard, which made him happy.
Because it's a fantasy, there's no real sacrifice. And such a battle allowed Anderson to immediately understand the strength of his army.
Magic muskets, ultra-long range, all-professional soldiers, all indispensable.
If it weren't for an army of professionals, it might have been able to fight hard, but at a distance of three hundred meters, it was almost impossible to shoot accurately with such a powerful musket.
The precise range of an ordinary human is 50 to 100 meters, and it has to be trained hard.
And the magic musket itself also has recoil, not a professional soldier, after firing a shot, you have to readjust your posture, and it is impossible to shoot steadily and continuously.
If the range was not so far, the human soldier would probably have less than ten seconds to prepare for hand-to-hand combat in the face of the demonized goblin charge. If the demonic goblin's acceleration is stronger, the human army will have to be specially equipped with heavy shield infantry to block it in front.
The current demonized goblins almost all died a hundred meters away, assimilated by Anderson's undead.
Anderson really has the difference between him and others, this skill of undead assimilation, I am afraid that it is exclusive to him, at least Xia He has not heard of it in the Dao Palace. A large number of level 10 undead formed a realm-like environment, and those dead goblins got up one after another, turned around, and rushed towards the army of goblins behind.
The human soldiers stopped shooting, the second batch of demonized goblins had not yet reached range, and the mages and high-level warriors were resting.
Then, each of the non-commissioned officers in charge of commanding their own squad cheered at Anderson's attack, and then the soldiers below cheered in unison.
The call was very rhythmic, like a war drum, which lifted people's spirits.
Usually, the elite soldiers do not say a word on the battlefield and do not make any sound at all. However, the cheers of these soldiers did not feel disorganized at all, as if they were spiritual resonance, and at the same time had powerful attack attributes.
At this time, if there is a ranged magic coming, it will be weakened by the crowd cheers of the soldiers.
The soldier cheered four times, and before the second wave of demonized goblins could come into range, he stopped and adjusted his breathing. Anderson's hairs were shaking, and there was a cold feeling all over his body.
This is really an elite soldier, and every soldier, in this world, has the quality of being an officer.
However, the second wave of goblins, more than 20,000 people, could not be stopped by magic muskets. There were three thousand elite goblins, dressed in enchanted armor and holding small and heavy shields to block their already small bodies. Under the cover of cannon fodder in front, these elite goblins quickly approached the positions of the human soldiers.
More than a hundred large mechanical beasts in front of the position stood still, and the demonized goblins in front of them had approached a position of more than a hundred meters, raising their goblin muskets, ready to attack.
Of course, the range of the goblin musket is very long, but the technology of the demonized goblin has regressed, and the accuracy is not very good, so it can only be close and then fired. They also did not think that there would be an enemy musket at a range of more than three hundred meters.
Xia He saw that Anderson ordered the mage to attack, first cleaned up the demonized goblins closest to the position, and only stopped when the mage's mana consumption reached thirty percent, and he knew that this person could be the leader of the legion. He has the ability to command local battles, and when it comes to selecting officers, Anderson will not be too bad.
In the army, the most feared thing is that laymen guide insiders.
Xia He didn't pay any attention to what happened in the illusion, and after Anderson told the mage to stop attacking, his corpse witch released a frozen death cloud, enveloping hundreds of people in front of the elite goblins. Then the undead on both wings rushed into the goblin, and the mechanical beast in front also accelerated and charged, directly hitting the elite goblin into the meat grinder.
Anderson's own undead did not participate in the attack, but let the undead goblins slash and kill. The more goblins died, he released the undead to assimilate.
The number of undead goblins gradually increased, and the human soldiers also changed formations, the front side was open to the wings, and the soldiers in the back row also joined the attack. This is the advantage time, the chariot behind does not move, and the enemy will be hit back by the magic ballista on the chariot even if he charges to the death.
When the five hundred cavalry were ready, and the goblins began to flee, the cavalry chased after them and attacked from behind.
On the battlefield, the retreat of the team without the queen of the palace is basically the result of mowing the grass.
Xia He communicated with the fire crow battle flag and helped the fire crow adjust the aura, and the soul of the old turtle devoured by the fire crow was quite difficult to digest. If the fire crow doesn't have the true fire of the sun, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it in a few years.
In his horizon, all kinds of data are constantly scrolling, all kinds of information and data in this world.
The scope of the entire city has now been determined, and the large array underground has also been laid, which has consumed almost half of Xia He's formation resources. But it doesn't matter, in a short period of time, it is impossible for Xiahe to build another city. Only when the steel is in place and more robots are made can he expand outward.
Big ships are made, and the wood is magically dried so that there are no problems. Ordinary fire-dried materials are impossible to build a ship with.
On this kind of transport ship, Xia He could not have invested too much, but the keel and watertight cabin of the wooden ship were built quite strongly. Even if you are traumatized, you can't sink so easily.
In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since he came to this world, and only two battleships in Xia He have been made.
These two battleships are only equivalent to the frigates of the Overworld, but they are also quite majestic, with an eighty-meter-long hull with more than a dozen magic cannons, magic ballistas, and giant magic muskets. This is the construction of fireships again. There is no way, Xiahe's current needs are here.
He needed naval artillery to bombard the city on the north shore of the lake, and let him command his soldiers to attack the city walls, and he didn't do it.
With six-pointed star airships and flying warships, although the number is not much, it is not a problem to take down a city where more than 100,000 goblins are entrenched. In this western sky, all the reconnaissance units flew over the goblin city, and a lot of them were knocked down, but the data was still brought back, which was quite detailed.
This goblin city, originally the size of a million people, is now in decline and in chaos.
After experiencing the three more times, Xia He felt the pressure of the world on him. In other words, the will of this world has not completely died, but there is not much power to interfere with.
Although the consequences are not serious, Xia He will not act at will. As long as the enemy has no legends, or the battle can be resolved by the army, he will only be a bystander.
This is quite important for invading a world.
Now, it's just an army of cyborgs. Although there is not enough metal, it is still quite easy to build tens of thousands of mechanical soldiers. If Xia He hadn't built a city and a warship here, and used up a lot of metal, he would have been able to build millions of robots without having a hard time.
After another ten days of delay, Xia He ordered the army to go on the expedition. Two frigates, one combat personnel carrier, plus a dozen small troop carriers. The small troop carriers are all made of wood, but they are equipped with mechs, so they do not need to go directly to the battlefield, and can land and assemble a little further away from the goblin city.
Xia He gave Anderson five hundred men, on a frigate, and followed himself.
Of Anderson's five hundred soldiers, Xia He only gave ten battle mages, but there were a hundred magic net mages.
Xia He has a lot of magic net mages on hand, and ordinary people would rather be magic net mages than warriors, as long as they are qualified, they will make this choice.
The power of magic is desirable.
Abigail didn't come with him this time, and neither did Marcus, and the two of them stayed behind in Lakewest City. After all, that city is very important, and it is not safe to put a legendary Xia River. There is also a factory dock over there, and the first batch of grain has been harvested, and the second batch of grain has been planted.
There are two Rawls and Alyssa, and Xia He thinks it is enough.
That goblin city, on the surface, there is only one legend, and Xia He judged through intelligence that there should be an old legend.
Two legends, personally dispatched, plus helpers, there is no reason why you can't win.
Xia He's equipment is prepared for legends who are close to level eighty. Speaking of which, Antisias is also approaching level eighty, and when he really needs help, it is not impossible to summon Lucifer.
Taoist priests rarely fight alone, and have always believed in the power of group fighting.
Of course, if there is no life-and-death struggle between the Daomen, it will not be so. In foreign wars, Daomen has always used superior forces to solve problems.
The superior force does not refer to absolute numbers, but to the ability to project forces.
For example, on the side of Xia He, there are twenty-four magic cannons, on two warships, and they are taken outside the goblin city, which is the embodiment of the power he projected. If they were to be bombarded together, even if the walls were all made of obsidian, they would not last long.
Anderson followed Xia He, standing at the bow of the ship, Xia He asked, "How many troops do you think we will lose this time before we can defeat the goblin city?"
Anderson said: "Human soldiers, should be under a hundred people, mainly after entering the city, there may be some street fighting, the cooperation between soldiers, the cooperation of robots, it is not so easy." In the case of intelligent machines, it is difficult to say, they may be much larger than human casualties, or they may be fewer. ”
"Oh? Why?"
"They're so stable. Anderson said.
"Oh, it's not good to be too stable?"
"When the large army is in the field, stability is the best, this kind of street battle where the environment changes at any time, their battle mode tends to solidify, and if the enemy grasps the weak point, a wave may cause huge casualties. ”
