Chapter 70: The "Cavalry" Charges
Although the pace of the battle in the winter was slow, and the results were not conspicuous, everyone's attention was attracted by the kobolds' 'reform', but this was just the unilateral feeling of a few traversers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Humans who can only be spectators don't mention it.
If the demons had a voice, they would have cried all over the world - we have been harassed, never let go......
The kobold has set a target internally, and they must brush enough corpses every day, otherwise the little master's teeth will be wasted!
Spring ploughing briefly delayed the kobold's 'great cause of farming monsters', and also gave the demon a little time. When this 'decisive battle' came, several kobold commanders felt a little surprised: these stupid big guys didn't seem to be the same as before?
Maybe it's a delusion, maybe they've just become cowardly.
Compared to winter, not only did the number of kobolds skyrocket, but the artillerymen and artillery were also much richer. Several musket battalions of nearly 1,000 men roughly listed a V-shaped crane wing array, from north to south, little by little into the city.
Along the way, the ruined buildings didn't cause much trouble for the kobolds - there were far fewer demons, and the occasional ones that jumped out were useless little demons that didn't pose a threat at all.
Moreover, the kobold people took the trouble to build a lot of 'earth and cement bunkers' before, and now most of them are well preserved and are progressing smoothly, without any delay at all.
Liu Jingtian was still flying around in the sky, and although the demon had some winged creatures, it was too slow to pose a threat to him.
"It's going well, I haven't heard the sound of cannonballs. Where's the weirdness?"
Soon, Tesfil did a favor and summoned some invisible scouts - "The demon has destroyed my summons, but enough has been seen. The demons seem to have gathered in the most central buildings of the city, restrained from coming out...... What's next?"
Although several traversers came with the mentality of playing soy sauce, they all had rich experience in talking about soldiers on paper and keyboard parties.
Brother Long: "A wave of waves! Armageddon! Captain, give the order! Everyone line up and go straight to the front!"
Xu Ping'an: "It's too chaotic, and the casualties will be very large." Otherwise, concentrate the artillery, and adjust the angle of the artillery to 45 degrees, I heard that this has the longest range. Then the shells washed the ground directly. ”
Guan Renxiu said whatever, as long as you don't let my brother play.
Tesfil doesn't care, just play it, I can contribute a fireball!
Liu Jingtian squatted on the ground, touched his hairless chin, and made a thoughtful statement: "Judging from the experience of the old man who has experienced a hundred battles and has not tasted a defeat, as long as he uses a little trick, this will be stable!"
So, in the eyes of everyone's expectation, they began to give orders to the various battalion commanders:
Spring is coming, the ground is soft, let's dig more dog holes, no one is allowed to move forward if you don't dig enough escape routes!
Everyone said: I'm so stupid, really ...... I want to go home!
The kobold didn't complain so much: he had been moving on the surface for several days, and he had lost all kinds of insecurity, so he had forgotten to dig tunnels!
Amid the grumbling of the human and demon audiences, the kobold happily stalled and moved at the speed of a snail, and by the time he touched the demon's lair, it had almost taken a week.
Liu Jingtian is emotionally stable: as long as this product is full of food and drink, it can take several days to sleep, and he doesn't care at all.
"Okay, more than a thousand meters ahead, what kind of cathedral is it, Mary Sue, you are the best at firing artillery, let your battalion fight, and the other battalions will keep an eye on the flanks!"
"Obey Wang's orders! By the way, the king, they told me, my name is the name of the female kobold, can you change it for me?"
"Uh...... I didn't expect you to be a male...... Well, I can't tell the difference at all. When the battle is over, I'll give you a new name!"
Liu Jingtian sighed: Isn't Mary Sue very good? The old man is the worst at naming names......
Mary Sue was an artilleryman, so who would use a gun, so most of his men were very good at all kinds of things related to artillery.
So nine guns were lined up in front of the battle, according to the old rules, plus twelve antique catapults that had been improvised - all of which became the hallmark of the Mary Sue camp.
The cannon rumbled in front of the battle, and behind it, the creaking winch also became a succession, and all kinds of dangerous goods—cast-iron shells, explosive bags made of clay pots—flew in a mess in front of a very magnificent church.
In the distance, puffs of smoke and dust rose up. Although the church is tall and magnificent, it is not a military building after all, and soon, one by one, skylights are smashed out, and if it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before it collapses.
Then, a red tide suddenly poured out of the church—a jumble of demons, huddled together, and swooped out from the doors and windows of the church, and then merged into a wave and swooped down on the kobolds' lines.
Not only that, but behind them, all kinds of demons also poured out of other buildings, rushing towards the Mary Sue defense line together.
"I'll you...... This...... That's too much, isn't it? Everyone, get ready to shoot!"
I never expected that the demon would be such a tactic!
This kind of scene reminds people of the hoplites charging head-on the spear infantry, regardless of casualties, it is so unreasonable!
Niu Ida had no choice but to resist! He ran wildly in all directions while issuing orders.
Now, it's just a matter of time.
The four battalions in front of the kobold were originally arranged in an arc-shaped semi-encirclement formation, with the two wings properly strengthened, and a reserve of about a thousand people remained behind to deal with emergencies.
This arrangement can make better use of firepower, but the team is stretched into a long line, and now, it is being beaten by the devil in the soft underbelly......
After the demons merged into a torrent, they swarmed down on Mary Sue's team, and the sporadic attacks of the other battalions were completely ignored by them.
As the distance got closer, the gunners had to fill the six-pounder guns with double shotguns, and they didn't care about the service life. And the catapults abandoned the cart altogether, and changed to line privates with muskets in hand.
"100 meters! Shoot! Free fire!"
This group of demons is simply unbelievable -- from a thousand meters away to now, as if they had been stimulated, and the speed has not slowed down! The dog-headed gunners had to abandon their guns and flee for their lives after firing only three or four shots -- the enemy had completely ignored the casualties and had already entered the range of muskets.
The musketeers fired a volley from the longest distance, and then, after only two rounds of free fire, began to drill around—the demon completely ignored his own casualties, and withstood several rounds of fire to kill the battle.
Liu Jingtian, who was flying in the sky, couldn't do anything: "Fortunately, I let them dig a hole in the escape place before......"
