Section 36 Formation

Boss Iron's first reaction was that it was another trap. For the dwarves in the distance are already in formation, but their numbers are too small. Although Greenhide didn't have a very precise concept of numbers, Ironhide could easily see that the dwarves were more than a little less than a little bit less than his men.

This time, the Ironhide Boss goes out to deal with the dwarves, and encounters traps along the way. So what he saw in front of him made the iron boss a little puzzled. However, the Ironhide Boss is a war commander after all, that is, he is a very smart boss, so he quickly realizes one thing: no matter what, although the number of dwarves in front of him is not large, but their number makes it impossible for them to run away at all.

However, the previous events were too impressive, so even in the face of this absolute superiority, the Iron Boss did not have the courage to let his subordinates rush up, but as is traditional, he lined up outside the range of the dwarves' cannons to prepare for battle.

But this time, there was no need for the dwarves to be so polite. The greenskins thought they were still in a safe position, and the dwarven cannons had opened fire unceremoniously. Half of the shells missed, and the other half hit the greenskins array, killing a lot of greenskins. This forced the Greenskins to back a certain distance in a mess before they could regroup.

Regardless, the greenskins were in good shape. The two armies began to confront each other.

There was silence on the battlefield, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. Dwarves and Greenskins, a pair of eternal feuds, set up a battle against each other on the rare flat land in this mountainous area. Such battles have taken place countless times over thousands of years. If nothing special happens, it will happen countless times in the future.

The terrain in the vicinity is actually quite steep, and only this battlefield is a rare flat land. The battlefield is long and narrow, with dwarves occupying one end and greenskins occupying the other. On one side of the battlefield are steep and difficult to climb peaks, and on the other side are rushing mountain rivers. As we all know, this kind of river is not wide, but it is deep and fast, and you don't even want to cross it without a bridge. In other words, this is a very simple and narrow battlefield, even if the side with superior forces cannot use the tactics of outflanking and detouring behind the enemy, it can only face to face hard attacks and fight for attrition.

"It's a bit of a strategy. "The Ironhide Boss also saw the mystery of this battlefield. Although the dwarves have few soldiers, this battlefield is quite suitable for the side with fewer soldiers. But at the end of the day, the Boss of the Iron Sheet is convinced of his overwhelming advantage.

Since it is a mountainous area, even "flat land" does not really refer to a flat river, but only that the ups and downs of the terrain here are a little gentle, which can meet the needs of the large army. The dwarves leaned against a higher hill and placed their ranged troops high and their elite infantry at the lowest. All the dwarves were well-armoured, clenched their weapons, and looked calmly as a rock at the distant enemy. However, due to the lack of numbers, the dwarven infantry defense line was very thin and could only form a single battle line. In this way, if one of the small phalanxes is broken through during an engagement, the Greenskins may pass through the entire battle line and charge straight for the ranged troops in the rear.

The Greenskins are much more powerful than the Dwarves, which necessitates a larger clearing. Although the greenskins are said to be simple-minded, they are not a tendon when they fight. The greenskins had realized that this "flat land" was not suitable for chariots and heavy cavalry, so under the orders of the boss and the leaders of all ranks, all the boar cavalry and chariots left their mounts and entered the battle on foot. In addition to goblins, orcs, and snots, there are also a number of trolls mixed in with the greenskins. These silly creatures stand out in the midst of goblins. Fortunately, the peninsula is a relatively independent area, and there are no giants here, so there are no giants in the greenskinned army.

The Iron Boss watched his subordinates finish the battle, and his mood settled. During the march, the Tin Boss was careful to guard against the dwarves' ambushes, but he removed this worry on the battlefield. Because even an ambush doesn't make any special sense now. The Dwarves, in particular, have so little force that their ambushes, if any, are no effective deterrent to the Greenskins.

The real trouble is the terrain, in the middle of the battlefield, that is, in the middle of the dwarf and the greenskin, there is a small hill that is not high or low, but not short - in fact, it is not even a "small hill", it can only be regarded as a small dirt slope. The dwarves didn't know why they had blown up half of the dirt slope and turned it into a lone peak in the battlefield. This lonely peak is quite in the way, if the green-skinned army pushes flat, it must be divided into two strands when it reaches the edge of the lonely peak. It's easy to get confused. It is a well-known fact that the Greenskins are disorganized, even on the battlefield where infighting is common. Don't look at this lonely peak as anything special, when you push me forward because of the congestion of the road, it is likely that infighting will break out directly.

"Let's get the goblins up and try it first. "The Iron Boss is doing it again. However, this is a deep-rooted but effective practice of the green skins. When fighting with dwarves, you always have to put on some cannon fodder first, and test the strength of the dwarves' firepower. Truth be told, every Greenskin can now tell that this dwarven legion must have been extremely ferocious in its ranged firepower - they have a lot of musketeers, a staggering number of cannons and ballistas, and a very small number of infantry.

A squad of goblins began to break away from the main force and pounce on the dwarves as usual. A goblin shaman mingled among them, and when they had advanced a short distance, the goblin shaman began to cast a spell, using the power of magic to boost the goblins' small morale, causing them to rush all the way screaming.

At first, the dwarves didn't seem to see the goblins' attack and didn't react. By the time they had rushed almost half the distance, all of a sudden, all the artillery was firing together. It was like a pile of thunder being thrown into the goblins. Where the cannonballs fell, green skins, dirt, and all kinds of debris flew all over the sky, and at least a third of the goblins were wiped out by this volley, and the firepower was so powerful that the iron boss in the distance was moved.

Although the Tin Boss didn't expect any performance from these goblins in the first place, and only treated them as cannon fodder, he didn't expect the goblins to be defeated so quickly. How many cannons are there on the other side? It looks like there are at least a hundred.

The goblins were directly blinded by the powerful fire, and when they came to their senses, they immediately ran backwards crying and shouting for their mothers. In fact, if the goblins had attacked in the form of skirmishers, then this wave would definitely not have suffered such heavy losses. But if they attacked as skirmishers, they would not be able to break through the dwarven infantry's defenses. This is a paradox, and a manifestation of their lack of a deep understanding of the boss's operational intentions.

The Ironhide Boss told them to attack and didn't let them break through the dwarven infantry's defenses.

After a short while, the goblin leader, who had touched even the dwarves' side and was smashed by the cannons, came to report to the boss. The goblin boss confronted the Ironhide Boss with the most flattering expression he could make—Greenskin, who had a loose nature, but the guy who lost the battle didn't end well.

"Well, Boss, they're amazing. The goblin leader tried his best to keep a smile on his face, "That firepower is too strong, we can't beat it, and it's useless to add a big man to it." ”

The Ironhide Boss waved his hand to get the boss out. He was a tolerant boss, and he didn't have any bad feelings about the failure he had predicted.

"Boys, let's play big!"

......

Mante 61 Bergman was at the front of his ranks. This is his duty as a captain. There weren't any other forces left in front of him—the entire Avengers' melee force was barely enough to form a single line at the moment, protecting the vulnerable ranged forces behind him. Those Engineers don't think they're good at fiddling with war machines and muskets, but when Greenskin really rushes to his side, their poor little hatchets can't beat Greenskin's rough machete.

The weather was fine, the sky was clear, there were no clouds, and the sun was not particularly hot on the body. The green skin in the distance reminded Mante 61 Bergman of the fierce battles he had experienced in the past. Countless baptisms of blood and fire have made the longbearded warriors determined and courageous, and their beards are a testament to their vast combat experience. Although the green-skinned beasts on the opposite side were almost ten times larger than the dwarves, Mante's heart did not waver.

The Greenskins' formation had begun to move frequently, and the fool knew that they were about to attack.

There was some commotion in the rear of the Mante 61 Bergmans, that is, from a squad of musketeers. Without looking back, Mante knew that the rookies of the Engineers Guild were getting nervous. It is no wonder that this time it was the general mobilization of the Association of Engineers, and many young engineers were on the battlefield for the first time.

"Brothers," Mante deliberately raised his voice so that the young men could hear him. "We're going to teach those lads what it means to fight! It's not as simple as watching Greenskins walk into our trap and light the fuse! ”

His old fellows let out a cheerful laugh. As usual, the long-bearded warrior's composure and relaxed demeanor soon affected the young musketeers behind him. The small commotion just now quickly disappeared invisibly.

Mante 61 Bergman turned his face sideways and began to look at Ashrufat in the distance. Standing on the shield on the shoulders of his companions, the great caster stands out from a high place. I can't tell what kind of psychology it is, but looking at the calm demeanor displayed by this young great foundry, Mante felt a sense of displeasure. He believed that this was the first time that Master Ashrufat had been on the battlefield, as the Grand Forge had never mentioned his performance on the battlefield, and that was usually the biggest asset for a dwarf to brag about when he was drunk (especially when he was drunk) - of course, he had never seen the Grand Forger get drunk. It's not so much that he's drunk, it's that the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes.

In any case, despite being on the front line, despite facing the green skin ten times larger than his own, the young master did not waver in the slightest, just held the giant sword firmly in his hand, waiting for the right fighter.

Mante was completely unaware, and at this moment, a conversation was going on in the great foundry's mind.

"The host...... The Greenskins are about to go on the offensive. ”

"I know. Ashruphat replied in his mind. He knew what Carrie meant, and Carrie wanted him to immediately retreat to the second line and take command in the rear to ensure safety. "Carrie, won't you calculate how successful my plan is?"
