On the fourth day, Lugwitz, who was about to be driven crazy by the continuous firing of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, finally realized that something was wrong. After more than three days of continuous shooting, two Crouching Tiger Cannons were completely scrapped, but Prell also came up with a conclusion.
Data: That is the service life of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
The wooden fence wall destroyed by the Tiger Crouching Cannon was repaired overnight by Lugwitz. Then it was destroyed again the next day. Lugwitz was attracted by the repair work and thought that Prell's
The plan was to use artillery to completely destroy the camp's external defenses.
But on the morning of the fourth day, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because just about 200 yards outside the wall, the trenches dug by the kobold soldiers were piling up higher and higher. As an engineer-turned-supervisor,
Lugwitz felt that with this amount of soil piled up, would the kobolds have to dig down 5 or 6 yards and then dig an underground tunnel?
Underground tunnel! Lugwitz's eyes widened. Kobolds are the best at digging holes. This is really possible! He was about to discuss with the guard captain to discuss whether this was possible, when he saw groups of people.
The kobold soldiers suddenly emerged from the trench and retreated quickly.
Lugwitz's eyes widened, and a goblin beside him whispered: "Look, are the kobolds planning to retreat?" Rugwitz turned his head in panic, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but failed
I saw a group of tauren archers standing up and setting up ignited arrows.
"Run!" Lugwitz roared at the top of his lungs. He suddenly regretted it because Prell had placed almost all his troops in the west, making him mistakenly believe that this was the direction of the kobolds' main attack.
, and in order to repair the destroyed wall, a large amount of wood and guards stayed on the west side of the camp.
The human guard captain saw the tauren shooters shooting rockets into the ditch behind the piled hills. He hadn't figured out why they were doing this. Hearing Lugwitz's shout, he turned his head in confusion,
I feel that my immediate boss may have lost control of his mood due to too much pressure recently.
Just as he was about to offer words of comfort, the guard captain suddenly felt a vibration under his feet. His face suddenly turned pale and he yelled: "Quickly, get out of here, run away!"
"Boom!" There was a loud noise. Underground to the west of the swamp camp, the ground was rolling. Countless pieces of soil and gravel were blown up by the explosion. There were also many pieces of wood thrown up by the explosion. Humans and
The remains of goblins, miscellaneous things, etc.
Standing far outside the camp, watching the big explosion in the mud swamp, Prell had no expression on his face. A group of tauren looked at each other. The leader of the Witch Wings looked at Prell with a horrified expression, and even forgot to flap his wings; Kerry
Nigel Badbi couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
From the moment he decided to send troops, Prell planned to have a quick victory. He didn't have time to spend too much time with the swamp, so he thought of digging tunnels, loading gunpowder and blasting.
The Silt Swamp is a rare large oasis in the northern part of the Barrens, and the venture capital company's camp is on the edge of this lake, which is called a swamp. The soil conditions are similar to those in most parts of the Barrens, and digging tunnels is difficult for kobolds.
It is not difficult to speak.
"Adolf Deep Sand!" Prell suddenly roared, dumbfounded. He looked at the battalion commander who had led his soldiers to create a big explosion. He looked at Prell with admiration and awe.
:"Obey your command! Great Chief!"
"Lead the soldiers and rush over. Remember, we don't kill indiscriminately, but if anyone dares to resist, no one will be left behind!"
"Yes!"
"Baird Ironhorn, lead your tauren soldiers and rush in from the flank!"
The chief guard captain left by Cairn Bloodhoof, a white-skinned bull, also said in awe: "Yes!"
"Belga, lead the medical team to follow; Snu, you and the casters will follow with the remaining harpy comrades!" Prell turned to Krinig. Bad Nose: "Chief Krinig
, the east side of the camp will be handed over to your department!"
The Steel-maned Wild Boar hurriedly slapped his chest: "I will never let a goblin or human escape!" The number of Steel-maned Wild Boars he brought was not large, only about five hundred people. Yesterday afternoon, he followed Prell's request.
, stationed in the southeast of the mud swamp.
Behind the military camp, Gazrouin trembled after witnessing everything that happened, and then closed his eyes in pain. He could already guess the fate of his old friend Lugwitz.
After assigning the task, Prell followed him unhurriedly. A series of wooden fence walls to the west of the swamp camp had been blown open by a huge underground explosion, opening a hole dozens of meters long.
Scattered soil, gravel, sawdust and some debris made the entire explosion site look messy and miserable.
For this underground blast, Prell used almost a month's current gunpowder production in Black Wolf Town, most of which he produced using his "engineering expertise."
This was a "luxury" explosion, but Prell felt it was worth it. Because after the explosion, the kobold soldiers advancing all the way easily passed the explosion site, and only sporadic gunfire was heard.
This huge explosion shocked even his allies and subordinates. One can imagine what the situation was like for the people in the camp.
Since there was almost no resistance along the way, Prell and the group of people who followed him walked smoothly to the ruins of the west gate of the camp. Seemingly subconsciously, everyone consciously took a step back, allowing Prell to walk on
to the front of the team.
When Prell shook off the dirt on the soles of his feet and passed through the ruins that were impossible to look directly at, the battle to siege the swamp camp was completely over.
Due to Prell's previous feint attack, Lugwitz moved most of the escort team near the west gate of the camp. This explosion directly wiped out nearly half of the escort team, which was mainly human veterans.
The courage of other guards and ordinary workers in the camp to resist also disappeared with this earth-shattering explosion.
Lugwitz was lucky enough to survive. This was probably because the location he was staying at was a little away from the center of the explosion, and he was standing on a small temporary watchtower, so he was directly hit by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
He flew out.
His luck was a little bit worse, because one of his arms was broken by a log that flew into the sky. Fortunately, Belga's medical team caught up in time and finally saved his life, but he was still there.
In a coma.
There are less than 700 people left in the mud swamp, and most of them are ordinary workers who sell their strength. The number of guards is about 200, of which one-third are newly recruited. Prell's
One explosion wiped out nearly half of the escort team.
The remaining unarmed workers originally ran away in panic after a long period of shock, but they were surrounded from three directions by soldiers who quickly came in and quickly became prisoners. Gazruin was invited over again.
, went to comfort these frightened workers.
The next step is to "clean" the battlefield and count the loot. Prell selected representatives of the Tauren and the Wild Boar to check and capture the items together. The distribution ratio he gave was 3:3:3:2, Thresh Kingdom and Tauren.
There are 3 people each, the Witchwing clan also accounts for 3, and Thorn Ridge accounts for 2.
Krinig Badbis had no objections. The explosion this time really shocked him. Moreover, the Wild Boars sent troops at Prell's invitation this time. They just watched the whole battle for a show, and there was almost no trace of anything.
It is really satisfying to be able to get benefits even if there are casualties.
600 soldiers were left to guard the camp, while Prell led 400 kobold soldiers and half of the tauren soldiers and continued towards the pumice mine.
Gazrouin was once again taken by Prell. This kind-hearted goblin looked depressed, but had no choice. He knew that his task was to persuade, to persuade the pumice mine not to resist.
The location of the Pumice Mine is slightly remote. It is close to the west bank of the Nushui River. Not far to the north, continuing along the Nushui River, is the dividing line between Ashenvale and Azshara.
According to the information obtained through interrogation from several prisoners, the number of miners in the Pumice Mine today is not large, only about 200 people. This is because in order to cope with the sudden attack on Prell in the Windy Valley, the silt swamp and the Pumice Mine are both
Some manpower was transferred, and the wild boars attacked not long ago, so Lugwitz transferred dozens of miners away.
The situation on the continent of Kalimdor has changed, so the venture capital company, which made a fortune by transporting food northward during the plague in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, had to temporarily stop the ships transporting workers to the continent of Kalimdor.
, but began to gather convoys from various places to prepare to regain the Gale Valley.
But unfortunately, luck seems to be on Prell's side again. If he had sent troops a month later, the pumice mines and silt swamps would have received a strong support, and even some senior shareholders of the venture capital company would have received a lot of support.
The goblins have begun to contact the South China Sea pirate group, hoping to use the power of pirates to temporarily protect their two industries.
Naturally, Prell did not know the plans and arrangements of the venture capital company's headquarters. He only knew that soldiers were quick and decisive, so when in the middle of the afternoon two days later, Prell led the army outside the mountain pass of the pumice mine,
Only then did some guards on duty discover them.
The explosion in the sludge swamp could not reach such a distance, and since the camp was opened in the sludge swamp, the indigenous races have chosen the sludge swamp as the target of attack. The pumice mines with cheap geographical location have always been extremely safe.
Even though the Silt Swamp was besieged by the quilboars not long ago, the Pumice Mine was hardly affected. The newly appointed goblin director Cobbleplug here has a goofy attitude and manages this small company with limited output and has been half-dead.
Mine.
Copperplugg was a victim of the game between the senior shareholders of the venture capital company who were competing for interests. He was originally the supervisor in Stranglethorn Valley who was responsible for developing the rich forest resources there, but was sent here. He was full of self-pity.
When he heard the guard's report that a combined army of kobolds and tauren were coming from outside the mountain pass, Copperplug was startled and rushed toward the mountain pass in a hurry.
The pumice mine was built in a small col halfway up the mountain, and a fence and watchtower were set up at the pass leading to the bottom of the mountain. He hurried up to the watchtower, only to see a goblin in a hat slowly walking toward the pass.
"I am Gazruin, and on behalf of the great chief of Thresh Kingdom, I would like to ask Cobb Plugg to come out and talk!" The goblin stopped when he came near the range of the musket and shouted loudly.
