Chapter 183: Wind and Rain (4)
Poof, the long knife cut through the armor and twisted into the flesh. The capillaries on the skin were exposed and bleeding continuously, and the arterial tubes spat out blood that had just passed through the alveoli.
Although the dwarves suffer in height, they win in their rough skin and thick flesh. If you don't aim at the head, it is difficult to kill with a single sword.
Almost all of the people who fought the dwarves were experienced Dragon's Breath legionnaires, so they naturally knew how to deal with the dwarves. Therefore, most of the dwarf corpses lying on the ground were shattered, like the brains of tofu brains mixed with blood.
Marshall was now smelling the mixture of sulfur and blood characteristic of the battlefield. This will greatly stimulate men's desire to fight and ambition.
At this moment, the dwarves have reached the first line of defense, and there is a steady stream of dwarves rushing from the smoke. In order to prevent the smoke from disappearing, some dwarves will also light special torches. At this moment, the river bank was filled with smoke. If it weren't for the sound of the fighting, most of the dwarves wouldn't have been able to get out of the smoke.
The first line of defense is in jeopardy at this moment.
The adjutant reminded.
"General, if this continues, the dwarves will rush to the third line of defense. ”
Marshall shook his head, now that he was still in control, there was no need to panic.
"Let the troops retreat, withdraw to the fourth line of defense. ”
The adjutant thought he had misheard.
"General, we have six lines of defense. You can't do that. ”
Marshall didn't know what to say when he saw the adjutant's heroic expression of wanting to stop his stupidity.
"If you are told to do it, you will do it. Mother-in-law's. You don't go, I do. ”
Eventually, the adjutant gave the order with a heart-wrenching expression.
Marshall wondered if his adjutant had too much inner drama.
"Quick, let the artillerymen raise the hot air balloon. You can't just fire the cannon like this, aiming at the chains they cross the river. And the artillerymen who Nolan came to support, so that they could hit the spot. Don't usually blow the cowhide loudly, and you will be cowardly when you fight. ”
"Yes. ”
This time, the adjutant did not hesitate.
Soon, the dragon breath soldiers of the four lines of defense began to retreat slowly, like a tidal wave retreating backwards.
The dwarf thought that the dragon breath soldiers couldn't hold on, and they chased after the dragon breath soldiers with high fighting spirit.
On the artillery position, after a whole busy day. The huge airbag puffed up and slowly lifted into the air. It was supposed to be amazed and admired, but the battlefield didn't allow much thought. The fight continues.
The observer on the hot air balloon, with no smoke in the air, saw the location of several chains. It was marked on the imperial capital that had been measured in advance, and at the same time, according to the latest aerial surveying method, the distance and angle of the chain were measured. Stuffed into a bamboo tube and threw it down.
The soldiers below quickly passed the bamboo tube to the new artillery chief.
After some calculations.
The artillery firing angle was quickly reported.
"Distance 1320, angle 78. Launch. ”
But this is for Nolan's artillery, and those soldiers of the Dragon's Breath Legion don't even know how to manipulate artillery. The artillery can only be roughly adjusted through the terrain in memory. Fixed-point shooting, which requires such a high level of accuracy, would be a disaster for them. But fortunately, there are many of them. There are hundreds of artillery pieces, and you can always touch a few.
Marr also saw the hot air balloon in the air, and as a member of the Cabinet, he knew some information. He originally wanted to build a hot air balloon that could take off, but Nolan was so strict that he didn't even get a basket. Didn't expect to see it here.
But after admiring it, he had a bad premonition. Isn't it a bit of a problem if the hot air balloon doesn't rise in the morning and evening.
The dwarves are still climbing the chains.
The smoke screen never dissipated, blocking the view of the artillerymen. But it also blocked Mal's vision, and he had no way of knowing what was going on behind the smokehouse. Although he affirmed the combat strength of the soldiers this time. But the smoke screen seemed to cover his heart at the moment, making him suspicious.
Black dots appeared in the sky again, and they were the cannons fired by the Dragon's Breath Legion. The dwarves are accustomed to the fact that most of these shells will fall into the river or splash up a pile of useless sand.
This time, though, it seems to be a little different, and the shells seem to be trying to gather at a few points. Pemba!
Zero-zero~
The stakes held by the iron cables were crushed.
Without a support point, the rope sank into the Langnau River, which was flooded with big waves.
With the dwarves on the chains who haven't come yet and screamed.
The scene of seven or eight iron cables sinking into the river is spectacular, especially when there are still people on it. Marr was startled by the sudden turn of events, reminiscent of a hot air balloon in the air.
"Quick, retreat, stop crossing the river. ”
Without waiting for Mar's order, the dwarves had slowed down to cross the river. After all, no one knows if the iron rope will break. When Marl's order was given, the soldiers who had been scrambling to climb the chain stopped, and the soldiers on the rope were even more embarrassed.
Without much time to think about it, the second wave of shells followed. Several more cables sank to the bottom of the river.
No matter how stupid the dwarven soldiers were, they knew that they really couldn't go back until they went back along the chains that were left. They all turned around and feared backwards.
The soldiers who had already rushed to the Dragon's Breath knew this, the heavy smoke screen had obscured their vision, and they thought that a steady stream of brothers was coming from behind. The more you fight, the more courageous you get.
After rushing through several lines of defense, the dwarves encountered difficulties in the fourth line of defense. It's just a hard bone, no matter how hard you knock it, you can't knock it down.
As time progressed, there was no source and the smoke cleared.
At first it was a person, and then the news spread like a plague. The ropes were gone, and the dwarves were stranded on this side of the river.
Panic began to spread, and the newly captured defensive line was quickly handed over to the Dragon's Breath Legion. The dwarves kept retreating towards the river, but it didn't help. Only a few iron cables are still hanging tenaciously on the river.
The dwarves scrambled to climb the wires.
Although there were officers who were shouting at the order.
"Don't crowd. ”
"Come down for me, you can't carry so many people on the chain. ”
...
But in this case, even his life is gone. Who cares about that.
The cannonballs came one after another, and an iron cable was across both banks, but fortunately the dragon breath soldiers did not kill them.
But soon they will understand that the Dragon's Breath Soldiers have not come.
The stake began to loosen, so that the queen finally couldn't hold on. The iron rope sank to the bottom of the river with a large number of dwarves.
The only hope of crossing the river is gone.
panicked for a while, some jumped into the river in vain to swim over, some knelt on the ground and wailed, and some picked up knives and wanted to fight back. For a time, the world was full of variety.
Death is fair, and does not leave someone because he is pitiful, and pity someone who is heroic like a hero.
The artillery adjusted its angle, and the vitality at this moment was even more rapid than before. Strike at the dwarves who turn back.
This is the case with the Dragon's Breath Legion, and they will not fight for the precious reputation of the soldiers and the mortal enemy army. Cannonballs and bows and arrows are the right way to destroy the remnants of this abandoned army.
