Chapter 181 Storm War, Offense and Defense, War Iron Fist (Eight Thousand Chapters)
Stormwind City is located in the north-central part of Bracada, less than thirty kilometers away from the northern end of Yonville Valley, which is the main north-south transportation line. Therefore, Stormwind City has always been a very important transit trade and transportation linking the north and south ends of the ice sheet.
It is a strategic location. However, due to its proximity to the wind outlet of the A Coruña Mountains, violent and continuous snowstorms will continue to rage in the area every winter. This is where the name Stormwind City comes from.
However, when the south and north sides of Bracada officially declared war, Stormwind City, which had always been under human control, suddenly became one of the most important bases and outposts for the Northern Allies' march south. However, because of Stormwind
The city has never been famous for its military reputation, and the internal magic system is not prosperous. Therefore, the Allied forces immediately deployed troops from Crimson City and Root City here, and planned to attack Yonville
The valley set up a solid attack front in advance, waiting for the arrival of the subsequent Allied forces. However, no one expected that due to the unexpected heavy blow of the goblins, the Allied forces suffered a major blow in the salient area of the Yonville Valley.
The failure not only severely damaged the troops, but also forced them to retreat across the board to Stormwind City. At the same time, the goblin coalition continued to pursue them with all their strength, hoping to take advantage of the opponent's weak strength and great loss of morale to seize the important hub of Storm City in one fell swoop.
A series of strategic plans after a heavy defeat of the Northern Allies.
"kill!"
After ten consecutive days and nights of almost non-stop attacks on the annex and magic attacks by the goblin coalition, various walls in Storm City have suffered varying degrees of destruction and damage. Especially a section of the female wall in the southwest that is about fifty meters long.
This morning, under the continuous bombardment of dozens of fireballs, it completely collapsed and opened a large hole more than three meters wide. In just half a day since then, Stormwind City has made great efforts to block this fatal gap.
They paid a high price for three squadrons and five mid-level warriors. Of course, the goblins as the attackers also suffered heavy losses and suffered numerous casualties. But comparing the two, the coalition side had a greater advantage in strength, so it did not care about continuous
The number of deaths has soared, but they are focused on breaking through this gap and completely taking over the hot but rich piece of Stormwind City.
"Kill!" Lanska has forgotten how many swords he struck and how many people he killed, but the goblin enemies in front of him are like endless snowflakes that cannot be killed or retreated.
Since noon, Lanska followed his squadron into this "wall of death" that seemed to open its mouth wide and continuously swallowing flesh and blood. Five hours passed. It was almost dusk, but there was no trace of the fierce battle.
As the temperature dropped, it became even more intense. In the field of vision, groups of humans and goblins were like torrents of water and fire, constantly impacting and colliding. Large areas of flowing flesh and blood made the ground soft and sticky, and one stepped on it.
There is a strange feeling like stepping in thick grease. Even though the temperature outside has already broken through the freezing point, the flesh and blood cannot coagulate for a long time under the pouring of hot blood.
As early as three hours ago, Lanska's squadron leader had been killed. He was killed by a second-level magic thunderbolt that fell from the sky. As for his other squadron comrades, only two of them can support them until now, and they are all
It's a serious injury.
"Ah! Go to hell!"
Only then did he knock down a goblin hammer warrior to the ground with the broken iron sword, but in the blink of an eye, two more roaring goblin warriors waving blood-stained chains and fist-sized solid copper balls rushed towards Lanska.
"Fuck me!"
Without any time to think, relying solely on his numbness and mechanical killing instinct, Lanska rushed towards one of the goblins with a single stride, and at the same time slashed across with his iron sword. The goblin soldiers on the opposite side did not seem to expect that the enemy was attacking one at a time.
He could still be so crazy, so he was obviously not prepared enough and had to tighten the chain of the hammer to block the sword's edge.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the severely damaged long sword broke into two pieces after hitting the goblin's iron chain hard. However, before the goblin could even rejoice that his opponent's weapon was damaged, Lanska had already captured the remaining
Half of the sword's edge cut firmly into the enemy's neck.
"hiss!"
There was a sputtering sound like a torrential rain, and a finger-long wound had been cut on the goblin warrior's side. The blood was like a fountain in a pool in the afternoon. It shot three or four meters into the air, and at the same time, it was already flowing in the air.
Lanska, who was covered in blood, was covered with the freshest bright red.
However, the moment Lanska broke the sword and defeated the enemy, the second goblin hammer soldier on the other side had also arrived. When he saw his companion's throat cut off cruelly, the second goblin soldier's eyes immediately turned red, and at the same time
He swung the hammer in his hand fiercely and hit the side of the exposed human being quickly.
"Crack!"
A series of sounds of shattering bones came from Lanska's body, and immediately large streams of broken flesh and blood spurted out from the mouths of the human soldiers, as if they were about to vomit out their internal organs.
In severe pain, Lanska instinctively knew that her organs should have been shattered by the goblin's chain hammer. As expected, just as the veterans said, although the goblin warriors are short in stature, they are definitely not small in strength. In addition, this race
He is used to using ferocious weapons such as chain hammers that cause high damage. Once he is hit by a heavy weapon, most of his life will be lost.
The pain was accompanied by extreme mental excitement and unwillingness, making the young soldier unwilling to let go of his murderer so easily. Vomiting blood, roaring, and going crazy, Lanska desperately pulled on the enemy's chain while staggering
Holding a dagger in hand, he charged straight at the goblin.
When he saw the human soldiers rushing towards him like bloodthirsty demons, trying to drag him to death, the goblin suddenly became shamelessly timid, turned around and fled in other directions. Unfortunately, he forgot that the other end of the chain hammer was tightly locked.
Your own belt.
"Crack!"
As if squeezing out the last bit of strength in his life, Lanska rushed behind the goblin soldier and drove the broken sword into the opponent's head. Immediately, the enemy rolled down to hell first.
But just as Lanska looked at the dead body that fell to the ground infatuatedly. Just when he might also die at any time, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew from his side. Lanska reluctantly turned his head to look, and what he saw was a
The extremely domineering crossbow penetrated all the flesh and blood bodies along the way with incomparable power and speed, and flew quickly from the goblin position a hundred meters away. Then, Lan, who happened to be standing on the flight path of the crossbow,
Skar was pierced through the body by a huge crossbow as thick as an arm. Then, the huge momentum directly tore the human warrior into two pieces.
"Order, the Kentucky Brigade immediately attacks, targeting the southwest city wall. At the same time, the hammer throwers and the crossbow squadron continue to attack and cover from a distance." Looking at the gap in the crowd that was hit by the crossbows several hundred meters away and was continuously swept through.
The goblin commander Dronisis smiled silently, and then ordered coldly.
"Yes, sir!" After hearing the order, the herald did not hesitate, immediately turned around and ran to Kentucky, who was standing in front of him, and loudly conveyed the commander's order.
"Lord Doronisis, so far today, nearly five hundred of our soldiers have been killed or seriously injured. This casualty rate is really a bit..." Looking at the herald's back, a goblin officer on the side took a cautious step forward.
, said softly.
"I don't want casualty figures, I just want Stormwind City!" Dronisis said in a deep voice without looking back.
"But, where are the city lords in the rear..." The officer hesitated to speak.
"The victor will not be criticized. Do you understand? Kontas!" The commander turned around and looked seriously at the experienced goblin officer in front of him.
"Yes, sir, I understand!" Kantas also glanced at his young commander, bowed, and retreated.
Dronisis has always been a complete anomaly among the goblin legions in Khumbu City. In the eyes of others, this goblin kid who is too young even to be a captain is not only bold and unruly, but also usually does
Some unreasonable and strange things happened. If his sister Kacherova was not the favorite concubine of Lucas, the lord of Khumbu City, and her background was really tough, there would have been more than one goblin in the legion who wanted to do something to Dharanisi.
This is a dirty trick. And this time, the reason why Doronisis was able to become the former enemy commander of the goblin alliance is said to be the result of the woman Kacherova blowing the pillow. Who made Khumbu City one of the top three in the alliance?
What? With the full support of Lucas, and the main forces of the North and South sides were not really in place, and the war had not completely broken out, so despite the continuous objections raised by some people, the twenty-year-old Doronisis finally sat down.
He assumed the position of commander of the Yonville Valley garrison of the goblin coalition. Of course, once the subsequent coalition forces gather in Yonville Valley, Dronisis will also transform into an unhindered "security commander".
However, to everyone's surprise, Doronisis, who had only been in charge of the Yonville Valley garrison for less than a week, actually formulated an extremely bold proactive attack plan. Moreover, without asking for instructions from the coalition headquarters and
With the consent obtained, Dronisis used his position as commander of the legion to mobilize all the combat resources at hand, and launched a surprise attack on the Allied protrusion in the north while everyone was stunned.
Of course, during this period, it was not that no other officers came out to vehemently oppose Dronissis's military plan, but they were all arrested and imprisoned by him. At the same time, in order to prevent "unnecessary interference" from the headquarters, Doronisis
Ronisis also intentionally ordered to temporarily cut off all communication channels between the Yonville Valley and the outside world.
In the end, it was not until the Yonville Valley garrison took down nearly two human legions and a reorganized mage group in one fell swoop that Doronisis reported the battle plan and results report to Lucas and the coalition headquarters.
After receiving such a report, the bosses of the Goblin Alliance were all dumbfounded and extremely angry. Even Lucas angrily proposed to behead Dronisis to avenge his crime of sending troops without permission. However,
After a long heated discussion, for the sake of the overall war situation and military morale, the goblin city lords finally decided to temporarily let go of Dronisis, a "naughty boy" who seriously "violated rules and disciplines", and let him continue to perform meritorious services.
Presiding over the work of the Yonville Valley garrison. At the same time, the official conclusion of the "Battle of the Bulge" was suddenly transformed from Dronisis's private dispatch of troops to a glorious example of "the alliance plans the curtain, and the warrior will win thousands of miles away".
Of course, as the boss of Doronisis, Lucas still had to show a certain attitude and expression towards the wanton behavior of his subordinates. Therefore, in the subsequent internal announcement documents of the legion, the Lord of Khumbu gave Dorothy a merciless
Nisis cursed him so hard that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the outside. He even directly stripped him of his position as commander of the army, demoted him to deputy commander, stayed on for inspection, and temporarily took charge of military affairs. However, this "cursing" notice was only issued a few days ago.
, another rumor came out that Mrs. Kacherova, who is good at pampering, once again received the favor of Lord Lucas, and "small gifts" including a top hot spring manor and a batch of expensive jewelry were transferred here.
In the name of a beautiful woman. And for this, those who are interested will naturally understand why.
Although he was scolded by his own city lord in the public army documents, Dronisis lived a better life. After just writing a sincere, honest and determined letter of self-reflection, the young goblin army commander
He patted his butt and turned around, and began to lead the Legion men to discuss the attack on Stormwind City. But this time, no one stood up to speak out or protest. Since Dronisis can indeed fight,
The alliance's superiors were so biased in protecting him, even the newly released thorn-headed officers had no objections and began to follow their superiors to fight with the wind.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."
Following Doronisis's order, chain hammers like raindrops flew toward the southwestern city wall amidst the eardrum-shaking wind howls.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing the "Hammer Rain" coming, someone in Stormwind City immediately shouted, and all the human warriors hurriedly looked for shelter. You know, although these spinning and flying chain hammers are not much smaller than the ones in the hands of the goblin chain hammer hands.
There are few, but they are all about two pounds of real copper and iron. Once they are hit, it will be very uncomfortable.
"Pah...pah!"
As if "beating banana leaves", nearly a hundred chain hammers fell heavily in succession, making pits of different depths on the ground and city walls. Fortunately, unlike human crossbowmen, goblin chain hammermen generally have accurate sights.
It's not good, it's a "cross-eyed masturbation" kind of thing, so most of the human warriors covered by the city wall can safely avoid it.
But at the same time, the fully equipped Kentucky brigade had already rushed forward in orderly steps to a distance of less than 20 meters from the gap in the city wall. Fortunately, the few archers above the city wall were still working hard to shoot at the enemies below the city wall.
, which somewhat hindered and worried the goblins’ advancement.
"Come out quickly and prepare for battle!"
Seeing a large number of enemies approaching outside the city, Olinta roared. He was the third squadron leader to stand in the gap today, and the previous two leaders had died heroically in the line of duty.
"Captain Olinta, the brothers are almost out, please ask for reinforcements!" At this time, a corps commander on the side shouted. Behind him stood more than a dozen scarred soldiers.
It seems to be the only remaining seed of the entire Olinta squadron.
"Reinforcements!" Olinta cursed at the corps leader: "Now that the battle has reached this point, where do you want me to find reinforcements? Tell you, boy, our squadron is the last reserve team. Waiting for you
I'm dead, it's time for the city lord's guards to come up and block the hole!"
"Sir..." The corps commander wanted to say something more, but found that he really had nothing to say.
"Stop talking nonsense, stand shoulder to shoulder together, and we will die in the gap!" Olinta nodded solemnly, and was the first to rush out. Then, the captain also gritted his teeth and followed with other soldiers.
"call!"
However, just when this group of warriors rushed out, they were greeted by several roaring crossbows. Immediately, the five warriors were shot into rifled gourds before they could even blink, and Olinta himself was also shot.
His arm was hit by a long and thick crossbow arrow and one of his arms was broken.
"Squadron Captain!" The corps commander was about to rush over to bandage the commander's wound, but was pushed away by Olinta.
"You can still hold the sword, but you can't die. Kill!"
"kill!"
Hearing Olin Tower's roar, the remaining nine soldiers grasped the weapons in their hands tightly, and stood shoulder to shoulder to form a seemingly thin human-shaped embankment, facing the torrent of the goblin brigade that had rushed close at hand, blocking it.
.
"Lord City Lord, let us go up!" On the watchtower in the city, the captain of the guard of Lord Frisa of Stormwind City and the eighth-level warrior Icent looked at the critical situation on the southwest city wall. He could no longer bear it and took the initiative to ask for help.
"No." Frisa glanced at Icent, shook her skinny arm, and said, "Send Roye up!"
"However, Roye has just come down from the east, and nearly 70% of his brigade has suffered casualties!" the guard captain immediately warned.
"Then let the remaining thirty people go up for me, and the gap in the southwest must be blocked." As an old human being who is over sixty years old, the Lord of Stormwind City has a heart that cannot be colder and tougher.
.
"This...is!" Under Frisa's gaze, the guard captain had no choice but to accept the order.
"Lord Frieza, please send our two guards up. The current situation is very clear. The goblins have taken advantage of the southwest gap to attack fiercely. Moreover, the enemy's mage group's firepower is very fierce, and we have no chance to destroy the collapsed city wall.
Block it again. Therefore, I am afraid that ordinary low-level warriors alone will not be able to do it after all." On the side, the city lords of Crimson City and Root City looked at each other and said.
Half a month ago, the troops of these two city-states suffered a heavy blow in the Battle of the Bulge. Although there were nearly a thousand people who managed to escape back to Storm City in the end, most of them were wounded soldiers who could not bear to fight anymore. Therefore, the offensive and defensive battles in Storm City these days
Most of them were carried out by local troops. But at this moment, the two city lords were no longer embarrassed to stand aside and be spectators, so they offered to give Frisa the last remaining force in their hands to see the gunmen.
Otherwise, once Stormwind City is broken, everyone may not be able to escape the killings of the goblins.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Frisa turned around, looked at the two of them, and slowly shook her head.
"This... okay." Looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face that looked as deep as a deep chasm due to fatigue and perseverance, Scarlet and Lord Lute stopped talking. After all, this is the home court of Stormwind City, and Frisa is the one in front of them.
The supreme commander of the war.
"Haha, it seems that humans are not all worthless idiots, they can be so tolerant!" After passing the bronze machine, Dronisis looked at another group of people being driven out of Stormwind City, like a handful of sand.
The human soldiers who fell on the gap to plug the leak seemed to be laughing and admiring.
"Sir, would you like to invite a few Nagas to come out and charge together? Human beings seem to have little energy left." Hearing the goblin army leader talking to himself, a goblin officer suggested.
"It seems?" Doronisis looked at the other party coldly and said sarcastically: "Then let me ask you, since our army began to attack the city, how many mid-level warriors and mages have been killed on the human side since then?"
"This..." The goblin officer didn't pay attention to this question and was stopped on the spot.
"I don't know? Let me tell you: seven mid-level warriors and two mages. Moreover, most of them were killed just today. So now, do you see anything?
?" As he said that, Dronisis glanced at the other officers around him and asked.
"What do you mean, sir, that humans have intentionally reduced their high-end combat capabilities?" Kantas, worthy of being an experienced officer, was the first to react.
"Ha, finally there is someone who understands." Dronisis looked dissatisfied at the other goblin officers who had not yet reacted, and said solemnly: "Stormwind City, plus the defeated armies of Crimson and Root,
You tell yourselves. How many mid-level warriors and mages are left on the opposite side of us now?"
"Humanity has accumulated so many powerful professionals that we don't need, but allows low-level soldiers to continue to fight against us. What are they going to do?" Kontas thought for a while and looked at the commander in confusion.
"wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for our Naga friends." Dharanissis chuckled sinisterly: "If I guess correctly, these professionals have been regarded by the human commander as a reserve team to counterattack the Nagas, and they are carefully held in their hands.
After all, in the salient, the lessons we taught mankind were too great."
"So that's it!" After listening to the legion commander's analysis, Kontas nodded suddenly, and then said: "In that case, should we stand still and continue to fight for our lives with the other side? Let's see who can't stand it anymore."
"Then I can guarantee that we must have been unable to bear it any longer." After hearing what Kantas said, the goblin army leader couldn't help but shake his head in frustration.
"How could this happen?"
"Then you think the reinforcements from the human allies will slowly walk over like they are shopping, until they can easily attack Storm City?" Dharanisig asked sharply.
"This..." Kantas was speechless.
"Now, time is far more precious to goblins than to humans!" As he said that, Dronisis flicked his cloak and turned around again: "Now that the southwest wall has been completely knocked open by us, humans have to
They are self-righteous and want to reserve their strength to snipe Naga. Then, it’s time for those tough guys to come on stage.”
"Sir, what do you mean?" When he heard the word "tough guy", Kantas immediately became alert.
"I order the Carmon Company to attack, the Burrows Brigade to cooperate, and the Mage Group to provide cover!" Doronisis ordered again.
"Yes!" After receiving such an order, the herald was also very excited and immediately ran to deliver it.
At the same time, at the gap in the southwest city wall, the Royer Brigade and the few remaining Olinta Squadron who had reluctantly reinforced themselves finally joined forces to kill another batch of Goblin Hammermen. And it seemed that they had received
Following the command from the rear, the Kentucky brigade, which had suffered more than half of its casualties, also retreated back.
"Olinta, what's wrong with your hand?" Looking at the goblin soldiers who were quickly moving away like a tide, Hierro took a long breath, then quickly walked to his comrades on the other side and asked with concern.
.
"I was scratched by a crossbow." Olinta shook his head towards Royer nonchalantly. But his eyes involuntarily fell back to the ground aside. There, the corpse of the captain and the corpse of a goblin hammer hand were twisted together.
Together, the fresh blood of the two of them was still bubbling out, making each other's bodies wet.
"Lord Hierro, Lord City Lord, why..."
"I have no idea."
Hierro knew what Olinta wanted to ask, but he had no way to answer. As a mid-level professional, he had actually received a secret order from Frisa, ordering him to fight cautiously and use the advantage of city defense and geographical location to improve the exchange ratio with the goblins.
.In other words, it requires Hierro to use the lives of his ordinary soldiers as much as possible to exchange for more enemy lives, and to try to reduce the risk of rushing forward as much as possible.
For such an instruction, it must be said that it is extremely cold. Under this strategic thinking, living lives suddenly turned into rows of numbers that can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided, and goods that can be bought and sold. Although Hierro carried out
, but still cannot fully accept, understand and agree with it.
"Lord Hierro, if I die in battle, remember to bury me and my brothers together." Looking at the other party again, Olinta stopped worrying about the "boring question" just now and just smiled calmly and unusually.
"Okay, I will remember it." At this moment, any words of comfort are empty words like farts. Hierro also smiled and nodded directly.
At this time, suddenly there was movement from the goblin camp far outside the city wall. Hierro immediately raised his eyes and looked over, and saw two goblin hammer-hand troops, one large and one small, beginning to assemble in the wind and snow. It looked like they were very powerful.
It's about to rush this way again.
"It seems that those little green men are going to make one last full charge before nightfall. A large group plus a squadron seem to be planning to drown all of us in one go." Hierro looked at it again.
Looking to the west of his eyes, the sky was gradually starting to darken, and he judged.
"Oh, come on. There are only one hundred and fifty dwarfs, and we can't help but chop them down!" Olinta tied his broken arm tightly to his body with an armed belt, and then casually
He picked up an iron sword at his feet and said fiercely.
"Okay! Kill these bastards. I'll treat everyone to a drink tonight!" Hierro also yelled.
"Sir Hiero is treating us to a treat, let's go together!"
"Finish the killing earlier and start drinking earlier. The little green men should come up quickly!"
"Lord Hierro, I want the best Lester, so don't be stingy when the time comes!"
Hearing the captain's words, the soldiers who were tired from long battles also started to make noises.
And just as the human soldiers were trying their best to boost each other's morale and prepare for the final battle with the enemy during the day, the two goblin hammer-hand troops gradually moved towards the gap. But Olinta felt a little strange.
The thing is, it is completely different from the ferocious attitude of the previous goblin troops who charged with all their strength as soon as they appeared. The one hundred and fifty goblin soldiers in front of them are very suspected of being "workers". However, the distance of only three hundred meters, the two goblin teams
I walked left and right for five minutes and still didn't finish. It didn't feel like I was fighting a battle. It just turned into a love affair and the road was blocked.
"What are these little green men doing?" Olinta tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, looking at the goblin troops that were finally approaching closely, and asked himself a little uneasily.
"Who knows! Maybe they didn't want to fight, and planned to wait until it was dark." A soldier beside him muttered speculatively.
"Procrastinate?" Hierro was also suspicious of the enemy's abnormal behavior, but no matter how he observed it, he couldn't find anything strange.
Until the two goblin troops finally approached the gap of less than 20 meters in the city wall, suddenly, Hierro was shocked to find that under the dusk light, there was a very faint halo shadow surrounding the goblin squadron on the left, as if
There was an invisible and extremely thin oil film that covered the entire goblin squadron.
"No, they are not goblins!" For a moment, a thought flashed through Hierro's mind like lightning.
Before his shout could end, Olinta, who had reacted in the same way, threw the dagger in his hand at the goblin squadron.
"laugh!"
The wildly rotating dagger drew a swift shadow in the air, cut into the oily film-like halo during the transfer, and then disappeared.
"It is indeed a 'magic disguise'!" Looking at the dagger that disappeared in an instant, Hiero felt a "thump" in his heart.
"when!"
The next moment, a loud sound like gold and iron clashing came from the void. There was no doubt that the dagger thrown by Olinta finally hit something hard in the oil film.
Following this clear and unusual sound, the oily camouflage covering the periphery of the "Goblin Squadron" finally slowly dissipated. After the magical camouflage was lifted, what appeared in front of everyone was no longer a squadron of goblin chain hammers.
Hands, but there are more than ten humanoid magic puppets with a height of two and a half meters, and the whole body is covered with hard and shiny bronze armor. And what is completely different from ordinary magic puppets is that the chest and abdomen of these tall humanoid puppets are
Hollow. Through the fine grid-like armor plates covering the chest, Hierro even caught a glimpse of the green goblin curled up inside the puppet like a driver.
"Khumbu City's latest magic puppet - 'War Iron Fist', haha, welcome to humans to taste it." Watching the dozen humanoid magic puppets begin to rush into the gap in the southwestern city wall with overwhelming force, Dronisis
Smiling lightly, he said this. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
