Chapter 191: The Wind and Rain (11)
The most amazing thing is that some soldiers can carry out interspersed encirclement of the battlefield under the leadership of the squad leader, and it is a great test of an army's organizational strength to find their own organization in time in a battlefield where thousands of people are fighting and not to lose it.
For the current dwarves, their military system is still very backward. Without the orders of the commander-in-chief, the army would be scattered, let alone carry out interspersed operations that would test the strength of organization.
The raid was not as good as the dwarves had imagined, but now they seemed to be in a swamp, unable to move an inch. The Iron Fist soldiers clung to them.
And there are not yet muskets around to shoot the soldiers who give orders. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the Iron Fist Army is also not lagging behind. Take the class as a unit and complement each other. Dwarves are often not faced with a gun, a bayonet. Rather, it is a seamless array of swords and guns that are matched by several horses.
Far and near cooperated with each other, and suppressed the dwarven attack to the death.
Unfortunately, the Iron Fist had no experience fighting the dwarves, so the defense line never pushed any further.
The dwarven general in charge of the raid refreshed his understanding that there could still be such a cooperative army in the world. This is simply the dream of many generals.
In contrast, the army he led could only be regarded as a second-rate army in Ortunno. It was just a day and a place, but he was not discouraged. War is not only a test of the army's organizational strength, but also a test of combat effectiveness. For him, there will be a steady stream of soldiers coming out of the mines, and if this consumption continues, he will be the victor in the end.
By this time, the artillery had already been mobilized.
Tekken II can keep the accuracy within 10 meters, but that's still too big for the hole that will be blown up.
With a bang, the cannonball flew towards the hole along the planned curve, and exploded when it landed. Inside the closed container, igniting the black powder released a tremendous amount of pressure. Shrapnel was ejected around, claiming the lives of a dozen soldiers before stopping.
The artillerymen had to quickly adjust the muzzles, and their purpose was not to kill, but to blow up the holes.
The dwarven officers reacted quickly, and if the entrance to the cave was blown up, they would become enclosed lambs to be slaughtered!
Immediately mobilize troops to rush towards the artillery, in order to quickly deal with the most threatening artillery. even did not hesitate to personally lead the troops to rush forward.
Soon he will find out that it is in vain, and more artillery is pouring out from around. The muzzles of the guns are pointed at the mouth of the mine.
There was a few booms, and the entrance to the cave collapsed. The battle is decided, and there will be no reinforcements from the dwarves.
The spirit of the soldiers of the Iron Fist Army was lifted, and for a time the defense line continued to advance.
Beson was pleased with the Iron Fist's reaction today, and in the event of a surprise attack, it was able to stabilize the defensive line, which no army could do at the moment.
At this moment, Beisen felt that this army, which had been tempered by blood and fire, was really mature.
The dwarves began to rout, and more often surrendered on their knees. Of course, there were those who resisted desperately, and they gathered together, cautiously looking at the Iron Fist soldiers who surrounded them.
Hundreds of swarthy muzzles were pointed at them, and they had just learned the power of muskets. However, he was still reluctant to put down the knife in his hand.
Bessen looked at the soldiers who were still resisting with interest.
If he hadn't ordered the live mouths to be caught, the men would have been beaten into a sieve.
"Hey, do any of you speak Rune. Come out and talk. ”
Besson said to the remnants.
Then the remnants of the soldiers moved out of the way, and a general dressed in carved armor stepped out. Bessen knew that this was probably the head of the game.
"Do you speak Rune?"
Beson said unceremoniously.
"General Bessen, I have long admired the great name. ”
It has a deep nasal voice and is muffled.
Bessen saw that it was easy to communicate.
"You're their chief, I didn't expect anyone in Ortuno to know me, it's an honor. But I'll still say surrender. Why can't you live with your own life, the Iron Fist Army treats the captives well and doesn't lie to you. If you can name a few things, trust me, except that you can't move around freely, you might be better off than you are in Ortunno. ”
Apparently the dwarven soldiers didn't understand this, and the only general who understood.
"General Beson, please don't insult us, death in battle is our highest honor. I hope you can give me this opportunity. With that, he raised his scimitar heavily, made a few beautiful circles in the air, and stared at Besson. Apparently trying to find him alone.
Instead of responding, Beson ordered.
"Fire. ”
Due to the terrain, the order went to the ears of each soldier.
Hundreds of sparks lit up around. Before they could react, the remnants were shot and killed.
Beson handsomely lit his pipe, took a heavy puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Beisen felt that he was handsome at the moment, and his husband should be like this.
Thorin wandered back and forth uneasily, not knowing what was going on with the raid. According to his conception, the Iron Fist Army should be in chaos at this moment. Black Eyebrow Mountain is almost captured.
The news soon came back that the mine had been bombed and the operation had failed. Even General Novarou did not return.
Thorin slumped in his chair, his face as dead as ashes.
Now the Iron Ore Party will definitely ask the cabinet for instructions to withdraw troops on this ground, which is very unfavorable to Marl. He disapproved of Marr sending troops, but he hated the ostrich policy of the Iron Ore Party even more.
Thorin grabbed his hair, as if trying to pull something out of his head.
But it was in vain, and in just two days Ewing got the news of the defeat of Sorin. I was happy in my heart, and if I added the defeat at the Iowa Ferry, I could basically give the war party a death sentence.
But Marr has been making good progress on the Eastern Front recently, except for the loss at the Iowa Ferry in the early stage, and now he has advanced to the second line, and he is still moving forward, making good progress. Many censors were very optimistic about Marr.
Ewing chose to stay in peace. When Mar hits another nail, he's making a big deal about Thorin. Burn down the town of Green, and the sneak attack fails. This would be a fatal blow to the war party.
He had to wait patiently for Marr to face his next setback.
Mars knew that his hastily built line would not last long, so he withdrew the next day with symbolic resistance.
Because there was not enough time, the Marshallese evacuation was hurried.
Many of the artillery pieces placed in the defensive line could not be moved at all, and had to be blown up.
One cannon cost 1,000 gold coins, and nearly 400 guns were blown up. Equivalent to 400,000 gold coins scattered into the water!
Heartache is heartache, Marshall did not hesitate when it was bombed.
You can't move it yourself, and you can't keep it for the enemy.
The Rune Combine has fully contracted the second line, which has given the Dwarven Legion and the Palazzo some confidence.
The news soon spread back to the imperial capital, and the uneasy atmosphere was further overshadowed.
