Chapter 412: Dogfight (4)

The sun is shining in the sky, casting bright and warm sunlight on the ground, making it feel warm on a sunny day.

If the weather is like today, this is definitely a good time for an outing. It's a pity that for the two sides who are fighting each other on the battlefield, this is no longer the level of warmth, but the blood is boiling completely, and even the brains in the brain are beginning to roll.

From the point of view of the Shotimaru Fumi, the first line of defense was a complete mess: the trenches and horse-blocking pillars had forced the samurai and ashigaru of the outside human armies that had previously had a numerical advantage to slow down their advance, allowing the Teutonic troops, who had not had a numerical advantage, to fight them until now with their strict discipline, better weaponry, and inscrutable fighting methods.

I don't know if it's her own delusion, Shotmaru always felt that although the Teutonic troops in the first line of defense looked like they were fighting quite hard, and it was not clear which side had the advantage, she always felt that the Teutonic troops were gradually squeezing the attacking enemy out of their own defenses, and the ground was full of the corpses of the samurai and ashigaru in the human armies of the outside world, but there were very few corpses of the Teutonic soldiers, and if any Teutonic soldiers were killed in battle, the corpses would be snatched back to the rear by their companions in a very short period of time, and they had to give up only after killing a guy who was deep in the enemy formation。

"That Teutonic man's army, armed entirely with ordinary humans, really has two brushes, and it can still hold up after such a long battle, not much worse than those guys of seventy years ago. Observing the dense intertwined fighting sides on the ground through the viewfinder, Shotimaru Fumi was amazed while taking a suitable photo, "There are obviously more outside humans in that forest who have not attacked, and I don't know how long these Teutonic human forces can last, where did the Teutonic man run away?

Just when Shotimaru Fumi, a competent but bottomless Raven Tengu reporter, was flying around in the air on the battlefield to take pictures, the battle on the ground began to gradually become clear.

Although the Boghall pikemen and the Acropolis legionnaires had begun to wear out and lost their lives during the battle, more enemies were killed and stopped by them. Against the all-hoplite Boghall pikemen and Acropolis legionnaires, even if the Japanese samurai armed with all kinds of guys attacked them, it was as difficult as ordinary ashigaru attacking heavily armed samurai, coupled with the excellent collective cooperation of the Boghall pikemen and the Acropolis legionnaires combat tactics and discipline, so after such a long battle, the number of Boghhall pikemen and Acropolis legionnaires who were really killed was not very large, but the people who were injured in various degrees were a little more than expected, and generally began to have some physical strength to support, even those Acropolis soldiers who constantly rotated the first row of soldiers to fight, the soldiers in each row of them have been circulated at least six times, and the soldiers who can still fight are covered with blood and brains, and they can't tell whether they are the enemy's, their comrades' or their own.

The leader of the Japanese army of the Warring States Period, the daimyo Shiogetsugawa, had a very obvious intention, that is, to let a large number of ashigaru troops led by a small number of samurai push these enemies armed to the teeth in the first line of defense, without worrying about the casualties of the ashigaru: although it was extremely difficult to replenish troops in this place that was obviously not familiar to him, his military supplies were still very sufficient, and he could completely arm the civilian workers who accompanied the army into a new ashigaru force and put them into battle. In fact, he did exactly what he did - a considerable number of the Ashigaru troops that were attacking the first line of defense at this moment were former military civilian workers who had just been distributed bamboo spears and simple long knives, and compared to the vast majority of real ashigaru, they did not even have some basic sufficient accessories, but they were superior in large numbers, and mixed with a large number of ashigaru troops could also put pressure on the Teuton troops in a defensive state.

On the Teutonic side, the Boghall pikemen and Acropolis soldiers in the first line of defense held their own lines, rather than preparing to evacuate to the second line of defense: from beginning to end, Feng Longde did not give this order through the Lich Mage or Zhu Henghong and other corpse witch soldiers, and the main combat significance of these Teutonic troops themselves was to hold the line, and if they retreated rashly, there would definitely be chaos, so even if their physical strength began to decline, these Teutonic troops did not withdraw from the first line of defense, and continued to fight with a large number of Ashigaru and a small number of Japanese samurai。

The reason why Von Longde decided this way was that he had already prepared the result of sacrificing two Boghall pikemen companies and five Acropolis regiments in exchange for the vast majority of enemy casualties when necessary. On the battlefield, even Feng Longde didn't want these Teutonic soldiers to fall into a mortal battle situation from a personal point of view, but in order to eliminate these external human armies as soon as possible and reduce more casualties, he had to make this decision, otherwise a moment of mercy would only bring more casualties and losses, and wars were often so cruel.

However, if you do a good job of this kind of awareness, you can still use it: through the soul connection with the lich mages, Feng Longde asked the lich mages to give the order for the Boghall riflemen to shoot freely, and suddenly the guns on the battlefield were loud: although Feng Longde felt that it was not worth it to use Mauser bullets to hit a large number of ashigaru, he still asked the armed human workers to bring a lot of ammunition boxes with a large number of Mauser bullets, and placed them in the second line of defense to open up for the Boghall pikemen to build, and the result was that a lot of blood mist and screams erupted in a large number of ashigaru troops。

At the same time, the "porcupine" burst ballista began to be loaded with new special crossbow arrows under the busyness of the Teutonic artillery, that is, enchanted crossbow arrows enchanted with lightning magic effects: once the enchanted crossbow arrows engraved with thunder magic patterns on these arrows hit the enemy, they will activate the lightning magic patterns on the arrows to cause lightning magic "chain lightning" The effect on conductive objects and living beings within a certain range, such as the failure of electronic equipment and the death of electricity in living beings, can be said to be best used to combat a large number of assembled enemies.

For now, however, the Teutonic artillerymen responsible for operating the "porcupine" repeating ballista did not intend to fire them all. The most important feature of lightning magic and related enchanted weapons is that they are fast and wide-ranging, and if they really throw them on the heads of the enemies attacking the first line of defense, it is likely to cause accidental damage to the Boghall pikemen and Acropolis soldiers, so they are ready to launch and stare at the edge of the forest, and carry out area fire coverage strikes in places full of enemies without their own troops at all, so as to cut off their reinforcements.

While the Boghall riflemen began to tilt large quantities of Mauser bullets onto the heads of the Ashigaru troops, another Boghall unit within the second line of defense began to make its own move.

"Forward, support our pikemen brothers and Acropolis brothers!" to Billy Hearnton's hearty shout, the Boghall two-handed swordsmen with fan-shielded shields on their backs rose from the ground within the second line of defense, and in both hands held Teutonic two-handed greatswords, raised taller than a man, and strode towards the first line of defense.

"Charge!" Just as a large number of ashigaru, led by a dozen Japanese samurai, managed to squeeze a gap in the defense line formed by the Boghall pikemen, Billy Hairington shouted his own command, raising the Teutonic two-handed greatsword in his hands above his head, ready to slash, "Boghall!"

"Teuton!Teuton!!Teuton!!"

With the howls of the Boghall two-handed swordsmen, they swung their Teutonic two-handed greatswords into the enemy line and began to slash and slaughter.

In the face of this group of fresh troops, the morale of the Ashigaru troops gradually collapsed: for these Ashigaru who had only recently been armed with the military and civilian workers or had only fought a few skirmishes, the Boghall two-handed swordsmen wearing plate chain mail, Charrell infantry helmets with cotton chain armor masks showing only one pair of eyes, and wielding huge Teutonic two-handed swords were simply more terrifying than the samurai, especially after this group of Boghall two-handed swordsmen rushed into the Ashigaru group and caused a bloody storm-- Even for veterans who have been through a lot of battles, they may not be able to accept the sight of blood, brains, and severed limbs flying all around them, let alone a group of ashigaru weapons and morale that are not comparable at all.

When the Boghall two-handed swordsmen swung their Teutonic two-handed greatswords to kill the enemy who had broken into the first line of defense, the Boghall pikemen and the Acropolis soldiers began to re-consolidate their formations and defenses, and sent men to transport the bodies of the seriously wounded and dead in their respective companies and detachments to the pre-battle camp.

While the Teutonic forces in the first line of defense were doing all this, a large number of Ashigaru troops led by a small number of Japanese samurai, who had been desperately attacking, also retreated back with the latest order from the Ashigaru Cloth people sent by their own lord, leaving only corpses and tattered weapons on the ground to prove the severity of their previous battles, and the terrifying lethality of the Teutonic forces in defensive mode.

"Bang Dang!" threw his Charrell-style infantry helmet with a cotton chain mail mask on the muddy ground mixed with blood, Zhu Henghong sat directly on the ground, without the slightest concern about the mud splashing his burqa full of mud spots: Anyway, after half a morning and a long battle throughout noon, his burqa was full of blood and brains, and splashing some mud spots on it was considered a lot of money and no more itching and lice.

"***, if it weren't for my identity as a corpse witch, I would have died here today, if I was lucky enough not to hang up in that battle last year. Holding the leather bags distributed to him from the armed human workers, Zhu Henghong pulled out the plug and poured most of the water contained in it into his mouth to moisten his dry throat, and then used the remaining water to briefly rinse his face and clean up the blood spots splashed on it.

Today's battle is the longest and most cruel in Zhu Henghong's memory: the almost endless enemies in front of him, even if most of the enemies are much better than the Aztec warriors in terms of armor rate and armor strength, it is enough to bear - even if they are all replaced by pigs, it will take a lot of effort and strength to kill, let alone people, so it is not surprising that Zhu Henghong would feel so tired or think that the corpse witch, a deceased who is a mountain higher than the comprehensive physical fitness of ordinary humans.

"Hey, Zhu, are you still alive?" a Boghall pikeman sat down next to Zhu Henghong, but he untied the fan shield full of cracks behind his back and put it on the ground, instead of sitting down directly like Zhu Henghong.

"Get out, I'm still alive, and my name is Zhu Henghong, if you call me like that, I will definitely give you a sword. After replying angrily, Zhu Henghong waved his hand weakly and threw aside the skin bag that had poured the clear water, "It's thanks to me that I'm the deceased, otherwise I'm just here" As he spoke, Zhu Henghong pointed to his throat, and there was a clear cut wound on it, "The wound caused by the katana here, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"Hah, so you didn't die, and in turn smashed the helmet and his skull directly to the samurai who wondered why you didn't die. "The Boghall pikeman smiled after hearing Zhu Henghong's words, but the cotton chain armor mask was full of blood and he couldn't see the expression, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel any smile, but it showed a cruel end, but his tone began to sound a lot more serious," The vast majority of our casualties were caused by these samurai wearing strange armor and carrying various weapons, although they also shouted and roared in battle, they were very calm when attacking, and the places of attack were all the links of our armor, if it were not for the strength of the armor issued by the Teutonic camp, it is estimated that our casualties would be more than now. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the katana to cut the chain mail to have a certain armor-piercing ability, wasn't the chain mail cut by a Japanese samurai's samurai sword on my neck and still came up to my throat?" If it weren't for the disparity in the level of weaponry between them, we would all have become one of those corpses that were transported to the pre-war camp. ”

"That's right, there weren't many samurai this time, and I hope the next battle will be like this. The Boghall pikeman nodded cautiously, his eyes staring at the dense corpses in the open space in front of the first line of defense, "I still want to get married and have children, I don't want to be reincarnated so early"

"I hope so. (To be continued.) )
