Chapter 188: Half-Armor Commander Contradictory Soldier
Report. The results of the battle that broke out on the northern border were already out, and our side dispatched twenty squadrons, a total of 2,034 men, 210 killed, 19 seriously wounded, and 310 lightly wounded, of which the third squadron, which was responsible for guarding the enemy's retreat, was almost completely annihilated, except for 2 seriously wounded, the rest of the team members were all killed. There were 50 enemies in all, 50 were killed, and we annihilated them all. The black wolf reported.
"Isn't there a living mouth?" asked the white wolf.
"We didn't get any of them alive, not a single one. The black wolf shook his head helplessly.
"If the information I know is correct, the army on the other side should be basically composed of goblins, right? Our priest is also equipped with automatic mining machines, how can he fight like this?" The white wolf asked suspiciously, there was already a hint of reproach in his tone, he can tolerate the loss caused by force majeure, but such a battle loss ratio of almost 6 to 1 is indeed a bit beyond his tolerance, and the opposite side is basically full of goblins, why is it like this? .
"I've done a thorough investigation of the situation, and I'll explain it to you slowly. The black wolf sighed, to be honest, she didn't believe that she could play such an exchange ratio at first, but after investigating, she found that it was completely excusable that such a thing happened, so she began to explain it to the white wolf.
Two days earlier, the third squad of the goblins had finished their first salvo, only to find that they had not been able to crush the enemy team at all, and continued to fight towards the squad.
The priest in charge of the third squad was the first to react, ordering the team to change formation, from attack to defense, and the heavily armed long soldiers covered with steel plates moved from the back of the line to the front of the line.
The long soldiers were covered in heavy steel plates, and they only had to follow the swordsman to pick up the corpses, but now that Ben's thunderstorm opened the way, the original plan of the axemen to cover up the killing did not succeed, and they had to take on their own task, which was to defend, to become the strongest wall to cover their teammates.
He knew that future wars could not only rely on the power of runes, but also the regular strength was very necessary, so he combined the geography of the underground world and the level of craftsmanship in his own territory to train such a group of spearmen.
The front half of the spearman is covered with heavy steel plates, and the back half of the body is not protected by any protection, this design is the result of taking into account the topography of the underground world, the passage of the underground world is long and narrow, and the soldiers can only engage in a face-to-face war of attrition, as long as the spearmen can line up in a dense row in the narrow passage, the enemy cannot go around their rear, and can only face them face to face, so the armor in the back can be completely abandoned, which not only saves steel, but also reduces the burden of the spearmen, so that the armor that covers them in front of them can be designed to be thicker。
These armors fully reflect the style of the goblin craftsman, that is, stupid and black, basically no skill to speak of, these steel plates are as thick as an anvil, and the iron sword made in the territory of the white wolf is used to cut up, and the result is that the iron sword is cut down, and the defense of the armor is completely impossible to break through.
Due to the substandard skill of making the armor, the armor is not tightly bound at the joints, and some of the joints of the spearmen are exposed to the air, these joints are their greatest weakness and weakness, if they are facing a well-trained enemy, they can cut through these unsealed joints, as long as they cut off an arm, the spearman is considered useless.
But the army that lingered in the gray fog did not realize this, and they just relied on their own strength to frantically storm the military formation, and pounced on the spearmen with their own bodies.
The sound of "poof" came again and again, this was the sound of the sharp spear tip penetrating the stomach of the intruder, and bright red blood splashed everywhere, but the intruders in the gray mist did not stop because of the big hole in the stomach, their skin was gradually turning from green to red, and a terrible force burst out from their bodies, and at the same time crashed into the spear array, these goblins who seemed to have lost their minds did not even let out a scream when they were poked in the body by the spear, as if they were already dead.
The spearmen roared loudly, trying to fend off the onslaught from the front, and drew their spears fiercely, changing places and continuing to plunge in, trying to make their opponents fall to the ground immediately, but to no avail, no matter how many blood holes were poked in the intruders, they did not fall, but continued to rush forward.
"Damn, we can't hold it anymore!, isn't the thunderstorm recharged?" the spearman captain roared in pain, he had already poked the guy in front of him several times, but to no avail, and he could only pin his hopes on the automatic miner.
The long contradictory soldiers concentrated the entire weight of their bodies and armor on their shields, almost resisting the impact with all their might, almost fitting into the body of the person they were stabbing, two different forces, only a shield in between.
Finally, there were long contradictory soldiers who could not support it, their center of gravity was knocked a little unstable, and then there was a series of impacts, they were about to fall, and if they fell, there would be a flaw in the shield array, and after that, the entire shield array would be broken.
Just when the shield array was in danger, things finally took a turn for the better, and the sword and axe team located behind the shield array finally reacted, brandishing the iron sword, iron knife, and iron axe in their hand, and slashed towards the enemy's neck.
In an instant, the goblin heads fell, and the headless intruders finally fell to the ground, no longer moving, and it seemed that the guys could not get past their brains to control their bodies.
"Poke them in the heart!" one of the lucky spearmen won the jackpot when he poked his long hair into his opponent's heart in a panic, and his opponent's heart valve ruptured, blood splattered out, and although he was not beheaded, his body also fell.
The lucky one, who happened to be the vice-captain of the spearmen and a priest, had been taught by the White Wolf to dissect the body of the goblin, and in that instant, the goblin had exhausted all the intelligence in his brain and finally came to the conclusion that the intruder's weakness was the heart.
When the spearmen heard his words, they began to stab at the heart of their second wave of opponents, but the opponents were still pounding, and their bodies were still moving, so how easy was it to stab the beating heart with precision in the rapid movement.
At this time, a long contradictory soldier was finally knocked down by his opponent due to his unstable center of gravity, and the front line was torn open in an instant, and the invaders began to break through the defenses of the goblins with a gray mist.
