347 Surrender or Die
Although Anubir was able to speak, which made Duke feel very surprised, but the content of the words made Duke feel very unhappy, what is the meaning of surrender or death, just don't take the storm army in your eyes?
Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if the same human race surrenders, the national concept of this world country is not strong, basically as long as the same human race surrenders after the annexation, there is generally a way to live. But this is the Ice Demon, their number growth is by transforming humans, surrendering even if they don't die, it is estimated that they will become their slaves, or even cattle-like existence, providing them with babies. So Anubir's surrender with this sentence is simply a joke for Duke, and the two sides are destined to be mortal enemies!
"Surrender? ”
Duke sneered and continued: "Since you have said so, then I will also give you two choices, surrender or die!"
Duke also symbolically gave the Ice Demon two choices, but in fact, both Duke and Anubel knew that this choice was impossible for both sides, after all, surrender must at least survive, and Duke could not use human babies to ensure the development of the Ice Demon Race, so the Ice Demon and humans were destined to die.
Sure enough, Anubir heard Duke say this, his face was full of angry expressions, the humans of Storm Castle were just an ant that could be pinched to death at any time in previous years, and today they dare to say surrender or death to themselves?
"I'll make you regret it. ”
Anubir roared angrily, then roared at the ice demons behind him, and the ice demons behind him let out a low roar as if they had received an order, and rushed in the direction of the storm army.
The distance of a few hundred meters was only a dozen or twenty seconds for a creature like the Ice Demon. Therefore, at the moment when the ice demon began to attack, the guard officer Dole hurriedly pulled Duke to the rear of the rear camp to avoid him encountering the necessary danger.
At the same time, Eren, who was beside Duke, also yelled at the Storm Army: "Warriors, raise your battle shields and lay down your spears, let these bastards know how powerful we are, and make them dare not step into the Storm Castle realm again!"
"The first and second platoons of the Storm Army, raise their shields!"
"Third Platoon of the Storm Army, Horizontal Gun!"
"Storm Army Musketeers, three lines of queues ready to fire!"
As a professional soldier in this era, the combat readiness speed of the Storm Army is also amazing, and the musket team came to the front for the first time, taking three different height methods such as lying, crouching, and standing, and shooting at the ice demons who rushed over.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Violent gunfire rang out like firecrackers, and at the same time, the smoke emitted by the black powder of this era almost enveloped the entire Storm Army camp. Although it was not the first time that the ice demons on the opposite side had faced the attack of the muskets, they still had no measures to deal with how to prevent the damage of the muskets, and they still rushed towards the Storm Army's position in a dense charging formation.
All the shotguns fired from these five hundred muskets almost knocked down a row of Ice Demon Strikers. According to Duke's visual observations, there were at least more than a hundred casualties of the Ice Demons.
You must know that in this era of front-loading smoothbore guns, the hit person almost depends on the accuracy of fate, and 500 muskets can cause such exaggerated casualties, which is almost a very astonishing data, and only the kind of platoon of guns lined up close to each other can cause such casualties.
In fact, with the strength of the Ice Demon, they don't need a battle formation like a human at all, relying on the formation and dense charge to bring advantages. The most suitable style of play for Ice Devil's personal strength is actually the most commonly used three-three formation of the straggler line or the Korean War Volunteer Army.
Not only can it greatly reduce the damage of firearms to them, but also maximize their strength. It's just that this kind of advanced tactic, with the IQ of the ice demon, is estimated to be unthinkable, even if it is human beings, it has experienced hundreds of years of modern times with the development of firearms, and the straggler system appeared.
After the musket was fired, they immediately entered the shield array, and then quickly shuttled to the rear, and their mission in this battle was basically completed. Duke also regretted the fact that the musket could only fire one shot in terms of power and damage.
If the tactic of rotating in three rows of columns can be adopted to ensure the continuity of firepower, it may cause more casualties to the Ice Devil. But this tactic may be practical for humans, because the distance of about 100 meters is enough for the musketeers to fire a salvo in three rows. However, the effective range of 100 meters is only a distance that the Ice Demon can cross in just a few seconds, and there is no time for the musket team to reload and shoot, so Duke can only give up the rotation shooting method and adopt this one-time tactic.
After all, if the musketeers can't retreat to the camp in time, then in close combat, the muskets in their hands will become burning sticks, and it will also destroy the formation of the storm army.
As soon as the musketeers withdrew into the camp, they saw the first row of Storm soldiers insert their heavy shields into the soil, and then the second row of shield-raising soldiers put their battle shields on top of the first row of heavy shields, forming a high wall almost instantly. This double-layered heavy shield method is generally used to deal with attacks such as the enemy's long-range bow and arrow, after all, it is very good for human warriors to be able to jump dozens of miles when they are wearing armor and weapons, and it is impossible to jump over a heavy shield of more than one meter.
But the Ice Demon is different, the height of the shield of more than one meter is definitely for them to jump with amazing bounce power. Therefore, Duke could only raise one layer to make the shield array reach a height of nearly three meters, and at the same time, a five-meter-long spear was inserted through the gap in the shield, and the entire storm army battle array was like a steel hedgehog, giving the ice demon any chance to take advantage of.
And this is not enough, when these heavy shield soldiers and pikemen, there are still dwarven battle axe men waiting for them, once there is really a strong ice demon can cross such a shield wall, then the strong dwarf battle axe hand will start a close hand-to-hand combat with them, be sure to break through these ice demons, the first time to solve within the formation.
Behind the dwarven battle axemen, there are still human heavy armored soldiers waiting, this is the fourth generation of defense to meet the ice demons. The purpose of this is to use all means to compress the space for the ice demons to move, and even give them no room to dodge.
You must know that the root of the strength of the Ice Demon and the human beings such as the swordsman is that they need space to perform their swordsmanship, and they need space to dodge attacks on them. Once they are locked up, they are just a stronger soldier. Once there is no room for pure hand-to-hand combat, then the Storm Army can still slash at them, and the damage will be the same!
