There were more than a hundred war beasts attacking the island this time, but among them, there were only a little over 30 of the most precious war crabs.
After all, this kind of creature is really powerful, but the corresponding breeding cost is also extremely high. Even in the large-scale sahuagin country that covers hundreds of kilometers, the number of such large-scale biological weapons is also low.
Between 100 and 150, we simply cannot afford to raise any more.
For example, this is the case in the country where the sahuagin prince who attacked the land this time is located. There are only one hundred, thirty or forty such monsters on weekdays. Except for the 50 that originally belonged to the territory directly under the kingdom, the rest are basically distributed.
In the hands of various sahuagin nobles in the kingdom.
In this king-selection battle, these nobles chose their favorite princes to place bets and followed them to participate in the war.
Naturally, those nobles also brought their powerful legions with them when they participated in the war. Because when the war is over and the spoils are divided, a very important basis is the amount of effort they contributed in the war. For them, they want to
If you don't want to pay to gain the power of being a dragon, it will definitely be useless.
Because of the old king's methods, these three princes had almost the same amount of power. Therefore, each of them only had more than thirty war crabs that could be used for battle. Under such circumstances, the princes naturally wanted to have a stronger army.
Some other tactics will be adopted, such as summoning other ocean giants as assistance.
Under such circumstances, the only war crabs will naturally be concentrated on the frontal battlefield facing the port area to try to make a breakthrough. And because the peninsula where Seifer and the others are stationed is not the core of the enemy's attack, this side will naturally be
There was not a single war giant. The core force that came to attack the peninsula was more than twenty other giant beasts and some extraordinary beings among the murlocs.
Since almost all the professional sahuagin officers were transferred to the frontal battlefield to launch the general attack, the sahuagin here were very clumsy in their tactics. At the beginning, there was a problem of disjointed troops attacking. As a result,
Sephiel accurately seized the opportunity and eliminated a whole batch of sahuagin transcendent beings who were too forward.
The fate of the next group of giant monsters was not very good. When they approached five or six hundred meters away from the beach, the artillery on the fort suddenly fired and directly hit the sea monsters that were still moving slowly.
Although these sea monsters also have a certain degree of defense, they are vastly different from those war crabs that are purely biological weapons. Therefore, they were quickly hit by those cannonballs and collapsed on the sea, motionless.
But the strange thing is that even if these giant beasts were killed one after another, the sahuagins still charged in waves and non-stop on the beach. At the same time, the spellcasters among the sahuagins and those with certain long-range abilities
The superhumans continued to release magic and throw javelins.
In this case, even though everyone has trenches as cover, and the priests and precision shooters are trying their best to counter the opponent's attack, the attackers in some areas are still suppressed by long-range firepower.
After all, when faced with magic or long-range weapons thrown by extraordinary beings, most ordinary defenses are not very effective. For example, many sandbags and wood fortifications were destroyed under such long-range attacks.
Most of them were eliminated, and as a result, many firepower points naturally became silent.
Compared with the ocean beasts with specialized targeted weapons, the extraordinary ones among the murlocs are the most difficult enemies to face on the battlefield now. Because not only do they have small targets, but they also move very fast. Therefore, on the battlefield
The human side has no good way to deal with these guys other than sending extraordinary beings around to put out the fires.
Fortunately, when the battle just broke out, this group of murlocs had some command problems, so the group of extraordinary people rushed forward and killed a wave of people, so the extraordinary people on the peninsula are still able to block those attacks.
The extraordinary ones among them prevented the large group of extraordinary beings from rushing into the position.
But even so, some sporadic Sahuagin Extraordinaries will still break into the position. Fortunately, these Extraordinary beings who can break through are almost all sahuagin warriors with very low extraordinary levels, so those who were previously
The remaining tauren heavily armored team killed them or drove them out of the trench with the help of the ratmen's precision shooters.
But in this way, the firepower on this position will naturally be affected. Then the sahuagin army that has landed will seize the loopholes in these defense circles and swarm forward. In some places, the defenders can still hold their positions when their response level is high.
, in other places to avoid large-scale casualties, the soldiers could only fight and retreat to the next layer of trenches.
The trenches that Lawrence designed before on this mountain were different from the normal trenches of this era. It was not just a thin trench connecting various firepower points, but a complex set of multiple layers of trenches, traps and fortifications.
defense system.
If someone were to overlook the entire defensive position from the air at this time, they would find that almost the entire peninsula is connected by a series of trenches, tunnels and other defensive fortifications. It looks like a dense spider web.
Naturally, it is impossible for such a defense system to collapse the entire line of defense just because one breach was made. Only after the murlocs rushed into the breach did they realize that the trench was twists and turns and there were a large number of parapets in the middle. It was impossible for them.
As expected, attack along the trench to both sides.
What's even worse for this group of murlocs is that the army stationed here took the initiative to retreat, so it still maintained its original structure and retreated to the back of the next fortification, pouring down on the invading murloc army from both sides.
The firepower is even more powerful against the fishmen because it is a side attack.
"Damn it, what's going on?" A four-armed sahuagin nobleman who led the commando team looked at the fellow sahuagins around him falling down one after another with a look of astonishment on his face. As a sahuagin
An elite officer of the kingdom, he has participated in many wars against land creatures before, but he has never seen such strange defenses.
In his mind, as long as he broke into the trenches dug by the land creatures and fought, it would be considered a victory. Then there was the question of how many enemies he could chase and kill while the other party was fleeing. But he never thought about me breaking through a line of defense.
After that, our side looks like the one who fell into the trap.
"Although the defense system set up by His Excellency the Count is different from anything we have seen before, it seems to be very effective now." A staff officer standing on the top of the mountain observing the overall battlefield situation said to his comrades around him.
, "With the help of such defensive positions, we can even turn those breach points into traps that kill the enemy."
"Of course, our Earl is not one of those feeble court nobles!" Another staff officer observed the fierce battle below with a telescope and said, "If there are no accidents, our side will definitely be able to defend it. I don't know, Lord Earl.
What are you doing now—"
"Aren't you worried about our positions on the peninsula at all now?" While the two staff officers were discussing matters related to their count, Nora also asked Lawrence through the soul connection. "I see.
The fighting there seems to be fierce, and in some places the battle lines have begun to penetrate deep into the positions."
"Don't worry, the battle has just begun when this group of rotten fish and shrimps penetrate deep into the position." Lawrence smiled and said to the little puppet, "This is a combination of the fortification construction experience on the Western Front of World War I and the Korean battlefield.
, it is definitely not the common simple defense line that will completely collapse as soon as a breakthrough is made."
