Section 11: Traps

The dwarves' whereabouts are becoming more and more apparent. The entire mountainous area is now covered with first snow. In this case, it is always easy for an army to leave a mark on the snow when it is marching.

Now, the chasing Greenskins can see that there are many footprints left in the snow, even the Greenskins can see it. The Scroogs were getting more and more irritable, suggesting that they were getting closer to the fleeing dwarves.

"What kind of rice is that?" the yellow-eyed boss noticed something flying around in the sky. The bird didn't move that much, and it didn't look like a bird at all.

"It's a dwarven helicopter!" explained a goblin shaman beside the yellow-eyed boss. "Boss, it seems that the dwarves didn't come alone. ”

"Can you use magic to knock that thing down?" said the yellow-eyed boss, pondering the height of what was called a "helicopter".

"No, it's too far, boss. The shaman replied. "But don't worry, boss, it's just a helicopter, and they don't dare to come near us. ”

The Yellow-Eyed Boss nodded, and just as he was about to move on, a wolf-rider boy suddenly ran up to the Yellow-Eyed Boss. "Boss, there's a canyon ahead. ”

"Canyon?" the yellow-eyed boss didn't understand for a long time. In fact, although the yellow-eyed boss has occupied this territory for a long time, he has not spent much time on the terrain. It took a lot of effort for a few goblin shamans to make the yellow-eyed boss understand that the canyon terrain made it easy to make a trap.

Once the orcs rush into the canyon unprepared, and the dwarves place their troops on the cliffs on either side, it becomes a one-sided slaughter. Because the dwarves will stand on cliffs that the greenskins can't reach, and attack as they want if the opponent can't fight back. In this case, if the Greenskins are not able to break through the frontal enemy attack in a very short period of time (which even the least brainy Greenskins can understand), then they have no chance of winning.

"What's going on?" said the yellow-eyed boss at the hands of his men. In fact, that's what makes Greenskin so threatening, with clever goblins and brute force orcs.

"Boss, I have a great idea!" a goblin popped up. "Let the Spider Boys climb to the top of the cliff and see if there are any elf ambushes. ”

"Good way!" the yellow-eyed boss said. In fact, it is not so much because of his wisdom as because he really wants to fight a good fight. This group of dwarves, numbering only a few hundred, is an excellent target - even the belligerent greenskins hate to lose.

The Spider Cavalry under the Yellow-Eyed Boss is not numerous, only one team, but it is enough to carry out this mission. When these ten-legged spider cavalry crawled away, the yellow-eyed boss immediately couldn't wait to urge his subordinates to continue the pursuit. Now he can confidently pursue boldly, if there is an enemy ambush, then the spider cavalry will definitely notify him in time.

Soon, he entered the canyon. By now, the entire army of greenskins knew that there were only a few hundred enemies (the greenskins didn't have any concept of military secrets), so those who were slow to move would definitely not be able to make a fight. Therefore, almost all the members of the entire army were in a hurry, hoping to enter the battle in time.

The roar of muskets broke the silence of the canyon. There is no doubt that the Skoogs, as the strikers, have already started fighting the dwarves. There are not many Scroogs who lead the way in pursuit, and there is no way to directly destroy the dwarves by relying on them. But now that the battle has begun, it means that the dwarves cannot escape. The overjoyed green skins have quickened their pace, and you push me to rush forward, hoping to reach the battlefield in time.

......

Borg stared at the battlefield ahead.

All the dwarves have reloaded, waiting for the next wave of enemies to appear. The battle just now was simple and fast. When Scroogs are few in number, their threat is limited. Borg's troops wiped out the troublesome animals with just two rounds of musket fire.

However, the greenskins have also followed. Several scattered groups of greenskins appeared behind Scroog, but they miscalculated the range of the dwarves' muskets, so they were directly knocked down by a salvo of hundreds. The rest retreated in disarray, waiting for their large army to arrive.

This is not a detachment of 1,000 people, but a real army of greenskins. The greenskins came from afar, like a green wave, covering the white snow in the canyon.

However, the greenskins did not attack for the time being. They had already seen that the dwarves were armed only with muskets, no cannons, and no protection from hoplites. As long as you can rush forward, you will win.

"Waaaagh......" A frenzied roar tore through the momentary calm. Then, all the greenskins let out the same battle cry and rushed towards the hillside where the dwarves were strong. It was a wave of death. As Borg raised his musket, he felt the tension rushing into his bones.

The first wave of muskets fired, but there seemed to be no sign of any decrease in the greenskins. Without pause, the dwarves switched into their second muskets and fired another volley.

"Quick, boys, third!" shouted Borg. As a demonstration, the veteran engineer quickly swapped out a third musket from his waist. Greenskins are in dense formation, so he doesn't need to waste time aiming, just point the muzzle of the gun at the greenskins and pull the trigger.

"Let's go, boys!" he shouted as he fired the last bullet. So the dwarves all turned and ran back.

This situation is a great encouragement of the green skin. The cries of "Waaaagh......" grew louder and louder. However, this section of the road was not very suitable for running, as the snow covered the terrain and they had to slow down. Of course, it doesn't matter, since the greenskins can't run fast, the dwarves' little short legs naturally run more slowly. Moreover, the attitude of these dwarves to turn around and run made the greenskins greatly boosted their morale, and they added a little more strength to their feet.

But when the yellow-eyed boss rushed to the top of the hillside, he found something unbelievable—the dwarf had run away. The fleeing dwarves glided effortlessly down the hillside in sleighs that had been prepared for a long time. Not only that, but some of the dwarves shot backwards from the sleigh. Although it is said that the accuracy is much worse because of the sliding bumps, it has also somewhat dried up a few green skins.

"Waaaagh......!" the yellow-eyed boss was angry and anxious. "Catch up, don't let them run. ”

But to be honest, the downhill road in the snow is harder than the uphill one. The greenskins stumbled in pursuit, the ground was in terrible condition, and under the snow, there were large holes everywhere, even the notoriously slippery wolf riders. There are cases of wolves breaking their legs and feet everywhere, not to mention wild boars.

The dwarves, who had run away, jumped off their sleighs and began to make their way towards the hillside ahead. Obviously, by the time the greenskins chased down the hill, the dwarves had already formed up on the top of the hill and fired another triple shot.

The yellow-eyed boss finally couldn't help it. He grabbed a shaman beside him. "Quick!" he yelled, "Call me back!" "In this situation, only Spider Kid, who ignores any terrain, can catch up with these dwarves.

The Spider Kids have finally brought good news to the Yellow-Eyed Boss, and the dwarves have not set up any ambushes on the cliff top. Because above is a bare, snow-covered rocky mountaintop. If the dwarves have an army in ambush on it, it is absolutely impossible to hide.

Well, the dwarfs were slippery, but at least they couldn't run away this time. As soon as they saw the figure of the spider cavalry, they immediately continued to run backwards from the second hill without any attempt to shoot in formation.

The spider cavalry gave chase. The Yellow-Eyed Boss couldn't keep up, but he could see that the spiders had avoided the snow and climbed over the cliffs on either side. This makes them much faster than the dwarves can escape. The Yellow-Eyed Boss only has nearly two hundred under his command, a squadron of spider boys, but he knows that the spider boys are very slippery in the battle, and they may not be able to directly eliminate these dwarves, but it will definitely be no problem to entangle them.

Dense muskets rang out at the end of the hill. The yellow-eyed boss was overjoyed, and the fleeing dwarves were entangled. Then he suddenly realized that something was wrong—why were there other sounds in the gunshots?cannons?But the dwarves didn't carry cannons!

The Yellow-Eyed Boss rushed to the top of the hill, and then he finally understood what was happening.

This is already the end of the canyon. In front, a dwarven army has formed a battle formation, forming an encirclement of the canyon exit in a half-moon formation. As far as the eye could see, the Yellow-Eyed Boss couldn't even count how many artillery and ballistas there were. Mixed among the weapons of war were teams of musketeers.

And the spider boy who was chasing just now has all turned into minced meat on the ground. The dwarven musketeers, who were being pursued by the Yellow-Eyed Boss, were running towards the position of the main force and were in the battle formation.

The yellow-eyed boss instinctively realized that something was wrong. Then he found that there were no of the formidable dreaded dwarven hoplites. If there were, it was disproportionately rare. Besides, although there are many war machines, there are not many dwarven soldiers, and the number will not exceed half of the Yellow Eye Tribe.

There is still a fight in this battle. Although the dwarves have taken advantage of the terrain, if the greenskins can launch an assault with superior forces......

Just as the Yellow-Eyed Boss was thinking about how to fight this battle, in the center of the Dwarven Avengers Legion, the Grand Forger Ashrufat nodded to one of his subordinates. "It's time to light the fire. He said.

A short time later, a terrible sound filled the heavens and the earth. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon collapsed, engulfing everything in an almost instant. It was as if an invisible hand was running over the mountainous area, flattening its original form in one fell swoop. The tremors were so strong that even the dwarves outside the canyon were a little unsteady.

The yellow-eyed boss pushed open a rock with great force and climbed up from the ground.

"I almost hit the street!" the green-skinned boss spat out. Then he realized that his once-formidable army was now gone, replaced by a litter of rocks. Although there are constantly lucky green skins that have escaped from the ground, as far as the eye can see, the number of these remaining green skins is only a few hundred at most.

Just as he was panicking and didn't know what to do, a goblin ran towards him. "Boss, boss!" the goblin shouted as he ran. "Shorty...... The dwarves are coming!"

"I'm afraid of hair!" may have been hit in the head by a stone and caused a sudden enlightenment, and the yellow-eyed boss actually showed a completely different IQ level from his usual. "We may have lost this time, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go back first, and then come back next time to take revenge. With these short legs with war machines, how can they catch up?"
