Chapter 199: Barbarians
On the side of the Rick Empire, Karna finally swept away all the rebellions in Rick's Province, capturing three large cities before and after, and then 35 castles of all sizes.
Then on the plain of Nollis to the east of Rick City, near the Rick River, he fought with the Grand Duke of Salas to the east. Originally, the Lopez family had the absolute upper hand, but it was a pity that the Nords quietly crossed the river and sent an elite of 20,000 people to attack the Lopez family's back from behind.
The soldiers of the Lopez family did not lose much, but a lot of grain and grass in the rear camp were burned, and they could be clearly seen ten kilometers away from the pillar of smoke.
Unfortunately, the Nords were a little late, just when the Lopez army had routed the Salas army and was about to start the pursuit, when the rear camp was on fire.
It's really not that the Nords are deliberately delaying, but that General Ram has a lot of troops in the rear camp.
The Nords didn't want to fight the Lopez family, who had just won a big game and had a full lineup, so they took it when they saw it and almost returned the same way. Makes Karna stare dryly.
To the Nord to the north, Karna had no choice but to cross the river, so she could only be beaten passively.
To the east, the Salas was again routed and not destroyed.
If she could annihilate the main force of the Salas Army at once, then she would be completely free to deal with the Nords.
It's a pity that the old opponent was defeated and did not die, in fact, he is still trapped in a vicious circle like Ouroboros.
The business of the Rick Empire is none of Martin's business.
As we entered July, the advance of the Lorraine Army finally began to slow down. This was due to the fact that the barbarians held the hilly terrain near the central and eastern parts of the wasteland. Not only is it a high altitude, but it is also a very dense primeval forest.
The inside of the forest can be described as a shade of the sky.
Those who have less experience, let alone go in and fight, may get lost if they enter the forest more than 100 meters.
Ullani dispatched a large number of Slinger guerrillas, armed with primitive bows and arrows, to constantly attack the logging workers or Lorrainburg soldiers in front.
Stepping into July, the number of dead and wounded was as high as five hundred.
In the face of the report, Martin only lightly instructed: "Give up the mountain and forest area for the time being, and give me the whole seaside." ”
The wasteland is surrounded by the sea on both sides, with the River Rick to the south and the Nord Territory to the east. Only the 1,000 square kilometers in the center of the wasteland are mountainous and forested areas with difficult terrain, and the rest are all seashores, waterside plains, or low hilly areas.
1,000 square kilometers, the length and width are 30 times 30 kilometers.
It's not big, it's not small, but in fact, Ulani is starting to feel a little weak.
Even a head-to-head battle, whether won or lost, is better than this slow hanging. The Slingers simply could not find a way to deal with this positional warfare in the standard sense.
She has made countless appointments to fight, but Martin doesn't bird her, and directly scolds back, "You asked me to fight in the spring this year, and you came to attack last winter." I don't accept requests from people who don't have credit. ”
After reaching the mountains and forests on the Eastern Front, and handing over the defense to the Mermaid Knights of Kouden, Martin had the Golden Eagle and the Knights of St. Martin begin their march on the Western Front. Continue to advance and divide and blockade the plains to the west.
There was a fierce disagreement on Slinger's side.
Because Ullanee advocated retreat: "We can't beat the demon Martin Lorraine. The west side has been sealed, and the north side is later. Before our retreat is completely sealed, we should gather all our soldiers and people to build ships in the north, whether we go back to the north or somewhere else, we should wait here to die. We don't have enough territory to feed so many people. ”
A chieftain wearing a deer's helmet shook his fist angrily: "What are we afraid of!? What are we afraid of? Isn't it just that we can't break their cars? Then force your way into enemy lines. ”
Ullani sneered, "What about the watchtower behind them, and what about the city wall?"
Another chieftain wore a hat made of a bobcat's head: "Keep filling it in! Fill it with human life! Don't we still have one-eyed and winter wolf people? Their clan is long gone, and it is your damn mercy that we have fed them until now!"
Chief Deerhelm took a step closer: "Ulani, give those people to us. We don't keep waste!"
Chief Lynx followed, "That's right. ”
Nearby, a woman with a one-eyed sculpture necklace and another with a winter wolf hat shivered.
Ulani didn't move, sitting upright on the throne of the Great Chief, and suddenly pulled out the bone knife, nailed it to the left armrest of the Great Chief's throne, and sneered: "You say that you can defeat the Bakarians." Very well, you can use the soldiers of your headquarters to fight. As long as you can take the first wall, the people of those two clans are as you please. My Blood Raven Clan will also be at war. ”
"Great Chief, you ......"
"We ......"
Before they could finish speaking, the two chiefs seemed to be stuck in their throats by a pair of large invisible hands, because they had already felt Ulani's killing intent.
It was a fierce, dangerous, beautiful pupil, and Ulani made no secret of her hostility: "Of course, you can also challenge my authority. It doesn't matter, I've told you below, be careful with the cubs of your two clans. Or are you sure you're going to kill me here?"
Outright threat, they resounded the horror legend of Ulani.
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
"We're going to follow the orders of the Great Chief and attack. ”
The two guys were ready to attack.
They still have a bit of brains, and they are preparing for a night attack. After so many months of fighting, they can also notice that this Baccarian is very different from the traditional knights.
The biggest feature is that the long-range attack is sharper than I don't know how many times. Each tower must be equipped with a ballista.
The triple attack of ballistas, bows, and javelins was enough to inflict heavy losses on the slingers, who lacked armor, before they could attack.
Then use the tortoiseshell chariot and the city wall to inflict the most terrible damage on the enemy. When the barbarian offensive weakened, it was the cavalry that entered and swept and expanded the victory.
So they simply did not dare to attack during the day.
Night raids are a big problem.
The brightly lit 'Great Wall' of the Bakaria people has made it much easier to attack at night, and the enemy is bright and dark anyway.
This time, when nearly 30,000 men came out of the high mountain jungle and began to approach the Lorrainburg position in the western part of the wasteland. The Lorraine army was calm.
Instead, the two chiefs were uneasy.
This is already the entire family background of their two clans.
The 'elderly' over 40 years old, and the children over ten years old, were dragged out. The sacks they carried were filled with sand, and if they didn't have a bag, they went to find a larger stone nearby. If it doesn't work, fill it with its own corpse under the enemy's walls.
Barbarians are so savage.
