Chapter 114: Night Attack (2)
A few minutes ago.
The Great Tent of the Marrakech Allied Army.
Seeing the latest battle statistics, Prince Mamun and the others were gloomy......
The casualties were too great, nearly two thousand elites were folded in, and almost the entire army of the firecrackers was wiped out, but there were no results that could be achieved!
There is a bigger question, what should we do next? It's already dark, so can't we collect the troops?
There are always twists and turns in war, and just a setback in an attack does not mean anything.
Our side is so well-equipped, presumably the mercenaries who came from afar on the opposite side have also paid a huge sacrifice!
Soon, the coalition regrouped its team, changed a set of tactics in a targeted manner, and launched an attack again!
On the frontal battlefield, thousands of cavalrymen held torches and slowly pressed on, among them, the front row was all handcuffed cavalry.
On both wings, there are regrouped infantry. Under the cover of night, they circled around and felt the ridges on both sides of the castle tower.
And on the side of the 'castle tower', the chengguan and others who were cleaning the battlefield were desperately running back.
No one expected that the other side would be so desperate, the sky would be dark, and they would have to fight at night!
Alibaba, in order to save people, became the farthest one to run out, and now he can't care about picking up money, and he is running back with tears streaming down his face.
While running, he was shouting in his heart: "The hard-earned money I have saved over the years! This is the bride price money for going back to my hometown to marry Ma Rongnina!"
But staying and picking up money is a dead end, even if you lie on the ground and pretend to be a corpse, it's useless - you will be trampled to death by horses' hooves!
"Wait! I remember! It's so dark, who would see gold coins on the ground!"
Ali Baba had a flash of inspiration: "I can wait for this battle to end, go and clean up the battlefield in the dark, no one will definitely touch my gold coins at night!"
So he was in a good mood: "As long as this wave of attacks is repulsed, I can go out and pick up the money again!"
"Wait, isn't this cursing the coalition for defeat......?
Someone is running wildly and is caught in a battle between heaven and man, not knowing which side to hope for victory......
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Stop, stop, which side are you?!"
Alibaba's face was confused: "What?"
The man directly slammed a stick over: "Lie down, you!"
With Venus in his eyes, Alibaba's eyes were dark, and he was knocked unconscious directly......
The head of the German mercenary regiment, Christian, came over: "Who is this guy who is running blindly? ”
The big man with the stick bent down and looked at it carefully for a long time: "This person is of local blood, covered in blood, wearing a cloth coat, and there is a knife mark on his belly, I can't tell which side it is!"
Christian: "It may be the 'chengguan' on our side, or it may be the wounded soldier on the other side who ran in the wrong direction, no matter what, send it to the back and lock it up, and wait until dawn!"
In this attack of the coalition forces, the frontal battlefield was only contained, and thousands of cavalry were powerful, but they only fired their guns indiscriminately from a distance, and they did not really come up.
The kobolds tried to return fire with artillery, but the cavalry ran around and couldn't touch it at all.
The two mercenary groups stood in the fortifications, silently waiting for the other party's attack, but half a day passed, and the opposite side was just running around outside the range of the three-eyed gun, and there was no willingness to charge.
Then, the kobold noticed that the sound of troops marching could be faintly heard behind the side of the castle tower.
Xu Ping'an: "I see, they are going to take a detour! We can only rely on ourselves!"
There are few mercenary groups, so they are only stationed at the foot of the mountain on the north side, and in other directions, only the kobolds have their own fortifications.
But the kobold already had a plan-
Tydamir came out of the crowd: "Hahaha, see the old lady kill him without leaving a piece of armor!
Her little followers frowned: "Commander, there are no horses, they are all borrowed by Captain Temo Wang ......"
"No horses!?cut, what about the dogs!!Bring the old lady's dog!"
The attendants breathed a sigh of relief and dragged a big dog from the cave: "Commander, you see if this will work!"
I saw a big curly-haired dog, more than one meter high at the shoulder, fat and strong, I am afraid that it is a hundred pounds, and there is a 'children's style' saddle tied to it.
Tydamir: "Hahaha good dog, good dog, what's it called?"
"Curly Fat Electricity!"
This dog is exactly the breed cultivated by the kobold in the last 'copy' "Flood World", Liu Jingtian used the leftovers of the strange beast to boil a lot of 'tiger and wolf medicine', and the kobold took it to the pet to eat, and transformed a lot of 'mutant livestock'.
So, in the night, a cavalry came out of the belly of the mountain:
Tydamir was in the lead, followed by a hand-picked cavalry of a thousand kobolds, but because the horses were sent north to fight pirates, all the mounts were giant dogs and chocobos, which matched the small size of the kobolds.
These strangely shaped cavalrymen are also in good order - kobolds are born animal domesticators, and although they are not as magical as the druids, it is still okay to let their big wangs obey orders.
The kobold relied on a certain night vision ability, and did not even hit the torch, and the whole team was draped in black cloth and completely disappeared into the night.
As night fell, the infantry of the coalition army was advancing in the dark.
There were no torches, many people were still a little night blind, and the march was a bit difficult. Fortunately, one is holding the back of the other, and the direction is not wrong.
As long as you reach the foot of the mountain, you can light a torch and kill it fiercely!
Everyone comforted themselves.
The road was not far away, and the dark shadow of the 'castle tower' was dozens of meters away. At this time, the few deaf people showed a confused expression: What sound?
There was a crackling of footsteps in the wind, and the whimper of an unknown creature could be faintly heard!
The sound is getting closer and closer, and the sound of crackling footsteps has become one!
Not horses, not people, what's weird!?
In the dark, people will inevitably think of something terrifying, and the sound is getting closer and closer, and you can already smell the smell of the monster!
A strange scream suddenly sounded in the distance!
Then countless dogs barked, birds chirped, and the strange language of wah-wah broke out together!
Then the coalition forces collided with a bunch of furry things, and the people were turned on their backs......
At this time, most of the people were frightened, and the few who were calm were desperately trying to make torches - to hell with the secrecy regulations, I was being gnawed by ghosts!
In the confusion, a mere 1,000 kobold cavalry drove away the 2,000-strong infantry.
Not long after, another infantry was concocted in the same way......
The first round of night raids came to an inexplicable end......
According to later statistics, there were not many casualties on the other side at all, and most of them were caused by their own stampedes......
After all, a samurai in full armor didn't care at all when he was bitten by a big dog and pecked a few times by a chocobo.
But morale is completely ruined - who likes to be bitten by a dog in the dark?
Tedamir expressed regret: "The arms are too short to cut people, try using a whip next time!"
