Because the sahuagin have night vision and launched a general attack last night, during the day they only sent out a few small teams to try to harass the shore from different places and find some available resources.
The breakthrough point of the breakthrough. As a result, because everyone was on high alert, the troops stationed at various key points easily blocked these teams in front of the defensive front.
Amidst the sporadic gunshots on the battlefield, Lawrence and Sephiel squatted beside the large pit full of blood and fishy smell, curiously looking at the entire pit of flesh and blood in front of the little doll.
Some of the gray powder that was sprinkled was quickly decomposed and consumed. Then the flesh and blood was transformed into some gray-blue liquid that looked like a bit of metallic luster at a speed visible to the naked eye, which looked like molten lead.
.
"Are you sure this thing really won't leak out?" Saphire asked with some worry, looking at the rapidly multiplying gray liquid in the pit. At the beginning, the gray liquid was not produced very fast.
But as the first ball of flesh and blood was transformed into a drop of such liquid, the entire speed accelerated greatly. Until now, the liquid began to spread throughout the pit as if it had come alive, constantly devouring the flesh and blood.
"There must be no problem. If there was a problem, Nora wouldn't stay in the fortress to sleep now." Lawrence gently patted the back of Saphiel's hand and said. "If she hadn't confirmed that these things were safe, she wouldn't have left them there."
Use this thing as a weapon, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster if this thing is leaked into nature."
"So although Nora didn't look here, she still made some defensive preparations here." After speaking, Lawrence pointed to the six stones placed around the pit. The stones were about as high as a person's knees.
, there is a small-looking palm print on each stone. All the palm prints are deeply sunk into the stone, and it looks like someone pressed it on the stone with his hands.
.
These handprints were pressed by Nora on these stones before. If someone switches to special vision at this time, they can see that there are balls of silver magic aura emanating from the handprints, forming a magic light on the edge of this big pit.
The barrier formed shrouded the entire pit inside.
And because of the existence of this barrier, the silver-gray liquid that seemed to come alive was all confined to the center of the pit. Because of this, several workers around the pit had to use a long pole to move it.
The flesh and blood on the edge of the pit must be moved to the center of the pit so that the silver-gray liquid in the center of the pit can complete the conversion work.
That night, the murlocs who had been quiet all day launched an attack again. It may be because they found that Lawrence's firepower density was strong enough during last night's test, so the number of murlocs who launched the attack this time was not large.
There are probably only about 1,500-1,700 people.
"What are they doing?" Lawrence raised his telescope and frowned as he looked at the murlocs who were divided into small groups to attack the peninsula. Different from the previous tactics where various races mixed together and rushed to the land in a swarm, this time the charge was different.
All those who came up were heavily armed sahuagin.
The so-called heavy armor is that each of these guys wears armor woven from water plants, driftwood, fish bones and shells. At the same time, they carry a giant shield made of soaked seaweed and some hard objects in front of them.
In addition, these attackers were not arranged into dense formations as before, but were divided into small teams of 8-12 people.
"It should be that they want to use this method to reduce our firepower to attack them." Seifer said after taking a closer look. "If I remember correctly, many of the firearms in the main city are still made of paper shells.
Even their militiamen have muzzle-loading guns. And some of those old-fashioned weapons can really be defended against by this type of defense."
The current era is an era of rapid technological advancement, especially for individual weapons. Firearms using metal cartridge cases and smokeless gunpowder have indeed been put into use. But in many places people are still using old-fashioned black
Firearms with gunpowder paper shells and even very old muzzleloader guns.
Although Vieques Island is the bridgehead of the White Eagle Republic in the Sea of Stars region, as a federal territory, it needs to consider the ideas of the federal mainland when it comes to weapons procurement. Therefore, after a series of disputes, the island's army still uses a slightly old-fashioned
The breech-loaded rifles were loaded with black powder paper shells, and the militiamen generally had whatever guns they could use. At least when Lawrence entered the city in preparation for the war, he found that some militiamen were even still using ancient flintlock muskets.
Naturally, the lethality of these weapons is naturally much weaker than the latest military rifles. Therefore, after the previous battles, the sahuagin people realized that when facing these weapons, they brought some driftwood and shotguns with them.
These armors made of wet water plants should be able to reduce casualties as much as possible in battle.
However, the sahuagin did not expect that this experience would have little effect on Lawrence and his group of reinforcements. Because Lawrence took the route of elite soldiers, he had some money, and most importantly, he also had an arsenal under his command.
Naturally, the soldiers under his command were equipped with sufficiently advanced weapons.
Although considering that smokeless gunpowder is too expensive, Lawrence and his main force still use metal cartridge rifles filled with black powder. However, because of the sealing of the metal cartridges, the penetrating power of these bullets is better than those of the old paper cartridges.
Ammo and muzzle-loading guns are much more powerful.
Not to mention that whether it is the large-caliber rifle in the hands of the tauren or the heavy-barreled rifle used by the rat people using smokeless medicine, both the penetrating power and the lethality are far more powerful than the rifles used by ordinary human soldiers. Those sahuagins
The simple barrier around you is no different than a piece of paper when faced with such firepower.
Therefore, as soon as these murlocs landed on the beach, they fell into the fire net established by Lawrence and the others. Under the attack of the precise shooters among the rat men and tauren, many sahuagins were beaten as soon as they emerged from the sea.
It fell into the sea, and some temporary barriers made of seaweed, fish bones and driftwood were also thrown on the ground due to lack of manpower.
However, the number of precision shooters who can shoot moving targets at long distances at night is still small. In addition, the current formation of the sahuagin is indeed too scattered and not suitable for artillery shooting. Therefore, the sahuagin can continue with such a level of casualties.
Their raids on the coast.
As the sahuagins got closer and closer to those positions, their mortality rate also began to rise linearly. Because at this time, under the illumination of the lights on the positions, more shooters joined in the shooting. At the same time, more shooters joined in the shooting.
The short distance also makes those bullets more lethal.
In the crackling shooting, the sahuagin people fell in pieces. But at this time, the ferocity in people's bones was also aroused. When they rushed to a place less than 30 meters away from Lawrence and the others despite their casualties, they violently
He made a huge strange cry, and then rushed towards the position regardless of casualties.
Even though everyone on the position was firing rapidly at this time, and the hand-cranked machine guns placed on both wings of the position formed a barrier of iron and fire in front of the position, the sahuagins still rushed forward under the hail of bullets.
When charging forward, even though the companions around him fell down one after another, the surviving murlocs just avoided their falling corpses and continued to charge.
"Damn it, mass bloodthirsty!" Lawrence, who was standing in the fortress and commanding, immediately saw the reason why this group of sahuagins were so crazy. "The backup machine gun can now shoot. Try to cut off the sahuagins' attacks as much as possible.
The follow-up troops and reserves will countercharge with me to drive these guys down."
