Behind the trench defense line is the storage area of the Wolf's Tooth Fort, where the Imperial Army has stored countless baggage.

The arc-shaped trench line, facing the wilderness to the west, blocked the way of the highlanders to the reservoir area.

The highland wolves, which hit like a tidal wave, roared and swept in from the west.

As Joe could see, the width of the front of the wolves was more than five miles.

As for how many wolves there are, with Joe's current eyesight, he can't see where the wolves end.

I heard a sharp whistle coming from the wolves, and the wild highlanders roared and cursed loudly in the highland language, and the gray, yellow, and cyan wolves surged up and down, and the wolf howls were endless, rushing from miles away without stopping at all.

Without any adjustments, without any arrangement, when these highlanders and their wolves came into view, they launched a direct, brazen charge.

"So fierce?" Joe screamed in horror.

"It's so fierce, because they've never suffered." Gorkin stood beside Joe, watching the enemy through a pair of gunners, and eagerly explained why the highlanders were so arrogant.

The wolves gave the highlanders an almost inexplicable advantage on the battlefield.

The highland wolf pack, the bloodline of the highland wolf king Wall, the most ordinary giant wolf, can have the power to open up the sea of power when he is an adult, and with a light paw, it is a strike force of thousands of pounds and thousands of pounds.

Giant wolves with slightly better bloodlines, they are equivalent to first-order, second-order, or even third-order transcendent combat power.

Unlike the human kingdom that requires a lot of resources and time to train extraordinary warriors, these plateau wolves, as long as they eat, drink, and have fun, they can grow up in two or three years.

And their fecundity is much stronger than that of humans.

In the era of cold weapons, when powerful wolves roared, it was difficult for the Medland Empire to have an army to withstand the onslaught of wolves.

When the times change, science and technology advance, and the continent of Medland enters the era of hot weapons? Original arquebuses and solid-shell artillery? It can only increase the casualties of the wolves, and it is difficult to inflict a substantial crushing blow to the wolves.

Even if you enter the era of flintlock rifles and flowering bullets? A steady stream of wolves? It is an unbearable nightmare for any human nation.

Over the past hundreds of years? The wolves of the highlanders have never been defeated in the true sense of the word.

If it's not a logistical problem? If it weren't for the fact that the size of the wolf pack was inherently limited? If it weren't for the various conflicts and contradictions between the highlanders' tribes, the territory that the highlanders now control is definitely more than that.

In the year 1379 of the Glory Calendar, the Delen Empire's counterattack on the Lanyin Corridor? The reason why the blue wolf principality was able to defeat and retreat? One is because the national strength of the Delen Empire has soared, and the use of a huge number of artillery and flintlock rifles has an absolute firepower advantage on the battlefield; The second is also because the national strength of the Delun Empire has soared, and a large amount of extraordinary combat power has been hoarded on the front line!

And the third reason is the contradiction between the blue wolf principality and the highlands themselves.

The Principality of the Blue Wolf wants to stand on its own? Completely free from the control of the highlands...... The Delen Empire took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Blue Wolf Principality was beaten violently? But they were unable to get substantial support from the highlanders.

"But now, the Principality of the Blue Wolf has lost a lot of territory? The most important Wolf's Tooth Forts were taken down. Gorkin said slowly: "They have completely lost the qualification to negotiate terms with the Highlands, and the Highlanders are now making a move?" Not just their traditions? It's the best opportunity. ”

"Her Majesty the Highlanders? A puppet principality is no longer needed...... She, and them, want to go straight to the end. Gorkin said coldly: "Their winter offensive this time is not only to recover the lost territory of the Blue Wolf Principality, but also to gain more!" ”

Joe looked at the wolves that were getting closer and closer, and asked Gorkin in a deep voice, "Why winter?" It was so cold that my fingers froze. ”

Gorkin smiled and patted Joe's head hard: "It should be winter, these beasts can move freely in winter, and our soldiers are at least half weakened in this weather, so this should be winter." ”

After a moment of silence, Gorkin shook his head: "It must also be winter...... The former highlanders were very poor, and in winter, not to mention the wolves, they themselves would starve to death. It must be winter when a winter offensive is launched, plundering food and wealth to survive the most terrible cold of the next few months, while weeding out the old and sick wolves and keeping the strongest and strongest seeds. ”

"It can only be winter." Gorkin sighed: "In winter, the countries of the mainland are the fattest prey." The autumn harvest went into the granary. People from all walks of life, the New Year is approaching, and the belongings in their hands are also the most, and the materials stored at home are also the most abundant. ”

With a sneer, Gorkin said coldly: "Even, at this time, when a surprise attack is launched, the flesh and blood of the people of the empire are also the fattest time, and the wolves are happy to eat it!" ”

Joe's eyes widened, and his face twitched violently.

yes, winter...... The people of northern Xinjiang will all nest in winter. To put it bluntly, the weather is cold, the sky is full of snow, and everyone is bored at home with nothing to do, except for eating and drinking, there is nothing else to do.

Fat.

This is fertilizer in the true physical sense.

The subjects of the empire, who have supplemented a lot of meat and fat in the past month or so, but have not moved, all of them have gained an average weight of more than a dozen pounds or even twenty or thirty pounds.

For wolves......

Fat people, fat prey.

This is real 'cannibalism'!

The threat posed by the highlanders to the continental nations adjacent to the highlands was not only the occupation of territory, the plundering of their people, and the plundering of wealth...... They also really feed the wolves with people!

"No wonder the Highlanders are notorious that even the church defines them as heretical." Joe muttered to himself.

"Joe, the church doesn't define them as heretics because they are wolves and cannibals." Wilkin smiled strangely: "They are heretics, only because they worship the wolf king Wall, but they disdain Mu and Mucheste, so they become heretics." ”

Joe froze and shrugged his shoulders.

The wolves were rapidly approaching, and in just a dozen words from Joe and Gorkin, the wolves had approached less than a mile from the defensive line.

Behind, a crisp horn sounded.

'Tick Tick Tick Tick ~'!

On the dozen or so towering guard towers in the rear, there were even heralds waving small red flags rapidly.

"Attention!" Gorkin raised his right hand and clenched his fist hard: "Follow the order!" ”

Joe instinctively held his breath, his eyes widened, and his entire eyeball was covered with a faint layer of crimson. His pupils dilate and shrink, and his gaze swept over the boundless wolves in front of him, sweeping over the faces of the smiling highlanders.

He saw Broken Tooth, and he saw the wolf bandits around Broken Tooth.

He saw the leaders of hundreds of wolf bandit gangs rushing to the front, as well as those fierce wolf bandit backbones.

He could see the fluffy, hideous faces of the wolves with their long tongues and saliva flowing from their mouths.

A thousand feet behind the trench line, thousands of old guns roared.

The old guns of 100 millimeters, 80 millimeters, and 60 millimeters of caliber spewed out angry flames, and more than 1,000 shells swirled, pulling out graceful arcs, lightly cutting through more than a mile, and plunging into the wolves charging forward.

'Boom, boom, boom'!

The old-fashioned flowering bullets filled with black powder exploded among the wolves, and black smoke rose rapidly from the snow-white earth.

In the firelight, near each black smoke, two or three vicious wolves were blown into the air.

There was a terrible cry of pain, large pieces of shell shells were scattered, and hundreds of wolf bandits were hit by shrapnel and fell off the wolf's back covered in blood.

In the midst of the firelight and blood mist, stumps and severed arms flew up.

Thousands of old-fashioned shells, just a thousand insignificant little blank areas in the wolves. As soon as the wolves surged, the vacancy disappeared, as if the shelling had had no effect.

Salian mobilized a large number of artillery and set up three columns of old-fashioned artillery behind the defensive line.

The first column was fired with thousands of guns, followed by the second, and the third...... Immediately afterward, the first column of guns that had been loaded also let out a crazy roar.

Cannonballs are constantly exploding in the wolves, crazy explosions,

One after another vicious wolves screamed and were blown into the sky, and after they landed, they rolled and disappeared.

The endless pack of wolves continued to rush forward, easily filling the gap made by the shells.

A strange roar rang out.

In the woods set up two thousand feet behind the defensive line, dozens of mortars with a caliber of more than two hundred millimeters erupted a terrifying flame. Huge flowering bullets burst into the air, struggling to soar into the air, and then plunged headlong into the wolves below.

The earth trembled, and huge columns of black smoke swept up into the air with countless snows and dirt.

The lethality of large-caliber mortar artillery is far stronger than that of field artillery, and every time the cannon falls, a dozen or even dozens of vicious wolves are blown to pieces. Where the shock wave swept through, one by one the wolf bandits screamed miserably, spitting blood and flying down from the wolf's back.

Broken Tooth lowered his head and hissed and screamed: "Rush over, rush over...... Haha, just rush into their queue and the Imperial Pigs will be slaughtered by us! ”

The wolves are getting closer, closer and closer.

One mile ...... Half a mile...... 2,000 sq. ft. ...... 1,500 feet...... 1,000 feet......

A wolf bandit armed with an old-fashioned arquebus hissed and screamed: "Be careful...... Get close to four hundred feet, and they'll have a wave of gunfire...... They only have a chance to shoot a shot! Hahaha, whoever is unlucky, will die! ”

Whether it is an old arquebus or a new flintlock rifle, their effective range is three or four hundred feet, and their accurate range is definitely not more than one hundred feet.

Whether it's an old-fashioned arquebus or a new-style flintlock rifle, they only have one shot in the face of a high-speed charging wolf pack. Four hundred feet, a distance of one hundred and twenty meters in the metric system, for the wolves, it is only a few breaths of time, and there is no time to reload a second time, and the wolves will rush in front of them.

"Ready...... Kill! Broken Fang frantically swung his scimitar and pressed his body against the wolf's back.
