308 Fighting

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Liszt." Seeing that several people on the scene who didn't know much about military affairs and goblins showed nervous expressions after Liszt put forward his point of view, Lawrence quickly explained. After all,

These people also represent the thoughts of most ordinary people who followed everyone to the island.

"Goblins are actually intelligent creatures with a lot of beast characteristics." Lawrence first told everyone present the definition of goblins by the intelligent races in this world, and then said: "As their bestiality, they are also the most lethargic.

The unbearable aspect of intelligent races is that they only take but basically do not create."

"That is to say, their method of obtaining food is still the most primitive hunting or gathering. Only when they are lucky, they will make some dried meat or dried edible plants as temporary reserves in some way that consumes a lot of money.

.It does not consciously hoard food like other intelligent creatures."

"According to previous reconnaissance, the same is true for the group of goblins we are confronting now. They gathered together cannot obtain enough food from this land to sustain such a large army."

"On the other hand, goblins themselves are chaotic creatures. As leaders, spellcasters, clergy or others have no problem if they want to restrain them for a short time, but it is basically impossible to maintain this restraint for a long time. So they

We must launch an attack while we still have food and can restrain our subordinates."

"If that's the case, we'll be relieved." Dr. List nodded and then began to report on the current situation of the field hospital. After he finished his report, housekeeper Reina stood up and reported on the food currently at her disposal.

Quantity and how long it lasts.

After summarizing the situation reported by these non-combatants, Lawrence felt that the situation was very good. After all, he had enough food to last for about two months, and a temporary hospital was also established. And the non-combatants were also organized.

Taking over the logistics work, Lawrence was able to devote more than 3,000 people to the battlefield with all his heart.

The results of the pre-war meeting were notified to everyone after the meeting, and these summarized facts boosted everyone's morale, and at the same time the previous panic disappeared. More than 7,000 pioneers now formed a

The whole thing revolved around this war quickly and stably.

Early the next morning, when Lawrence was finishing his breakfast at the fighting position, the goblins walked out of the hilly bushes about a kilometer in front of the position, and lined up hastily while being beaten and scolded by some goblins who seemed to be the leaders.

, and then rushed toward the position in a scattered group of 30 to 50 animals.

"This is to further test the location of our firepower point, and take away some ammunition." Watching these people who only rushed forward 1/3 of the distance were killed on the ground by a team of selected sharpshooters on the position.

Goblin squad Lawrence thought, after all, the common characteristic of these goblin squads is that their equipment is extremely poor, and they look like they are old, weak, sick, and disabled.

"That should be the case." Nora, who flew into the sky to conduct reconnaissance as soon as the station opened, said, "There are a large number of goblins starting to gather behind the hilly bushes, especially in front of us."

Nora's investigation results did not exceed Lawrence's expectations. After all, the shape of Lawrence's position actually centered on the hill in the camp and extended to both sides, forming a moon-quenching formation backed by the coastline.

As a result, since the cannons on the warships can only shoot directly within a short distance, the firepower of the warships parked behind the position after the war started can only support the flanks of the Queyue Formation, while the front of the position was blocked by those war fortifications.

The existence of the enemy cannot attack the enemy in front of the position through the fortifications. After all, the accuracy of artillery in this era is still a bit lacking. If it misses, the shells will easily fall on the heads of your own people.

Therefore, the front of the position can only rely on the defenders' own strength to protect it. Fortunately, this time Lawrence not only deployed enough troops on the front of the position, but also obtained a batch of troops from the dwarf Ou Ren of Huguang City.

It was a newly designed weapon of his own. So he was confident enough to hold the frontal position.

Just as Lawrence was thinking, the small force of more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled goblins had been exhausted. However, at this time, the large army of goblins was successfully organized, and then after the stimulation of the clergy of the goblin god,

Next, they formed skirmish formations from all directions and began a tentative attack.

Gunshots rang out immediately on the human position. At first, there were scattered shots. It was the sharpshooters who shot at those who seemed to be the leaders among the attackers. However, the effect of this was not as good as expected, because

In such a situation where thousands of goblins swarm forward, even if the leaders of some teams are killed, they will still rush towards the human position in front of them under the coercion of the surrounding goblins, which can only create a little chaos at most.

At the same time, because the goblins swarmed forward, it was difficult for the human sharpshooters to accurately find the location of the team leaders. So after three or four minutes, the remaining 5,000 goblins approached the barbed wire fence and were killed by the barbed wire fence.

Tangled up there to death.

While these goblins were entangled in the barbed wire and unable to move forward, other human soldiers also started shooting with their rifles. Although they were not as good as those sharpshooters, they could shoot such a large fixed target of goblins from a distance of two to three hundred meters.

It's not too difficult for them.

Because Lawrence hid a lot of firepower, this group of goblins who reached the front of the position successfully destroyed a lot of barbed wire fences and fortifications even though they lost 70 to 80%, and were close to less than 20 meters away from the first trench.

meters place.

"Woo - Wu -" Following several chaotic and sharp horn sounds, bursts of dust came out from the edge of the jungle. Then more than 300 goblin cavalry riding some kind of wild boar with long tusks went crazy.

They rushed towards the front of the main human position, and behind them were densely packed khaki goblin heads.

"Is this a general attack?" Lawrence's eyes widened as he watched the monsters rushing out of the woods. But think about it, even if there are some good-minded spellcasters to maintain order, it is impossible for so many goblins to do so.

What a clever tactical detour.

Therefore, there are only two tactics for the goblins now, either to charge in waves, wait for more than 1/3 of the casualties, and then disperse all over the land to fight guerrilla warfare with Lawrence and the others. Or directly

The waves rushed forward despite huge casualties, trying to see if they could use the goblin sea tactics to overwhelm Lawrence and the others.

Especially this goblin attack was instigated by the clergy of the goblin god, which brought valuable organization to the goblins, but also from a certain perspective, the goblin attack was seriously affected by the gods.

For the gods, sometimes face is more important than anything else. After the clergy reported the operation, the goblin god asked the goblins to cause as many casualties to humans as possible.

As for the goblin's losses, they are not even a number to the goblin god. After all, for the goblin god, the most important thing is to show the goblin's power and his own greatness. In order to achieve this goal, the goblin's casualties and injuries are not even counted.

Not important. Not to mention that the goblins' biggest advantage is their numerical advantage.

Therefore, this group of goblins can only choose to rush in waves to complete the instructions of the gods. After all, through their reconnaissance, human firepower can be regarded as far superior to them, but there is a fatal flaw of insufficient manpower.

From a certain point of view, they are right. After all, most of the victories of the barbarian races were obtained through this method. In this way, they commanded all the power in their hands to charge towards the human position with full confidence.
