The reserve team mentioned by the major on the defense line is actually part of a militia team composed of sailors from the White Eagle Federation and the Elysion Empire. Not only are each of them good at riding horses, but they are also good at using them on horses.
Long and short guns and a variety of cold weapons.
This militia force came from the military camp outside the city seven or eight minutes after the fighting broke out. Previously, many ships were blocked in the port due to the interruption of sea traffic caused by the attack of the sahuagin. Naturally, this way,
The crew members on the ship also lost their jobs.
Therefore, after the war broke out, the island's general headquarters simply ordered all ships to take shelter in the inner harbor that was temporarily inaccessible to the attacking murloc legions, and at the same time recruited all sailors on the ships as militia to strengthen the island's defense.
Compared with the indigenous people on the island, these sailors are better at fighting. After all, the sea is not a safe place. In addition to malicious pirates, the vast and fertile ocean also breeds countless wilderness races. So when fighting with these
During the fight between the guys, the sailors naturally also practiced good kung fu.
In addition, both the White Eagle Federation and the Elysian Empire have large areas of grassland suitable for grazing and developed animal husbandry. Therefore, even the sailors from these countries have many previous experiences as cowboys or farm workers.
Proficient in riding and fighting on horseback.
So when the reinforcements arrived, the commanders on the defense line first selected those who were good at riding on horseback and let them ride the spare horses of their own cavalry regiment, and then asked others to supplement the defense line. And now with the sahuagin people
The commander, who keenly sensed the change in the battle situation due to the decrease in attack intensity, immediately ordered the reserve team that had been on standby to prepare for the attack.
The opportunity they were waiting for to attack soon arrived. When the two sides were in a stalemate for about ten minutes on the battlefield, a sharp whistling sound suddenly fell from the sky, and then several black dots fell into the mouth of a canyon behind the attacking murloc army.
In a small canyon hidden by dense vegetation.
These mortar shells falling from the sky accurately fell into the canyon and exploded among the densely formed crowd of fish, killing hundreds of lives in an instant.
What is hidden in this place is actually a large group of remnant troops that were withdrawn due to heavy casualties during the attack on the defense line. The reason why they chose this place to regroup is because the humans on the defense line cannot see the situation in the canyon behind the plants.
When these cannonballs fell, some sahuagin nobles were trying to reorganize these broken soldiers and prepare to continue to enter the battlefield.
According to their thinking, these Loka fish who are used as cannon fodder will go to the front line of the battlefield so that they can replace the elite sahuagin who were the spearhead of the previous attack and lost more than half. In this way, regardless of whether they continue to attack in the future,
It would be more convenient to escape towards the sea.
But they never expected that heavy mortar shells would fall from the sky at this time, and hit the rear of the army in a cliff stream, which was theoretically impossible for the artillery on the defense line to attack. Just when the shells exploded
In an instant, the already demoralized Loka fish people collapsed.
"Ha, good job." Lawrence said to Nora through the soul connection at this time. At this time, he clearly saw the eight large-caliber missiles dropped by the little puppet through the vision sharing with the little puppet.
After the mortar shells exploded in the crowd of fishmen, the entire fishman army, which seemed to have nearly a thousand people, collapsed.
"Of course, I specifically pick out bombs to be dropped in places where people are standing very close together." Nora said while observing the situation. She had just been sent by Lawrence to support this side, and the goal of the operation was to do everything possible.
This method creates chaos in the rear of this murloc army and undermines their morale.
Just now, when Lawrence directed the troops who had retreated from the cliff to direct their firepower at the sahuagins in the bays and surrounding shores, he naturally considered the troops fighting on the line of defense behind him.
He gave the space belt containing a large number of mortar shells to the puppet and asked her to launch an air strike against the sahuagins.
According to his idea, as the reinforcements that were supposed to be reinforced have been delayed, the remaining attacking troops should be in chaos. At this time, if they can launch attacks from unexpected places, they should be able to
Let this murloc force suffer heavy losses.
But what he didn't expect was that while flying in the air, Nora successfully found the place where the sahuagins were used to reorganize the defeated troops, and then used less than ten heavy mortar shells to defeat the nearly a thousand soldiers.
Luo Ka, whose spirit had reached its limit, completely collapsed due to people.
And this group of Loka fish people fled immediately after they collapsed. Even if the sahuagin nobles and priests present continued to kill them, they could not stop their current trend of fleeing. When the Loka fish people escaped from this small canyon
At that time, chaos quickly spread to the entire army.
The fishman army that had been unable to attack the human defense line in front of them for a long time due to heavy losses suddenly collapsed. The Loka fishmen who had been shooting desperately as a cover dropped their crossbows and arrows and ran back on the road they wanted to come from.
, and after the long-range cover disappeared, the murlocs who were fighting hand-to-hand on the front line completely lost their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away. They didn't even care that doing so would expose their fragile backs to the humans.
"We have been defending for so long, now it's time for us to launch an attack." Seeing the changes in the situation on the battlefield, the commander-in-chief on the defense line immediately took the horse rope from his adjutant's hand and jumped on the horse, and then pulled out the hanging rope.
The saber in front of the saddle was raised above his head and shouted. "Follow me - charge!"
After the extremely brief pre-war mobilization, the major rushed to the front. Behind him were more than 300 militiamen in chaotic clothing and brandishing various weapons.
Behind him, a deafening shout of death came out from his mouth.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for this kind of cavalry without much armor to last on the battlefield for too long. But now almost all the fishmen are fleeing, so they can easily kill each one from behind with their weapons.
The fishmen then passed by their corpses like a gust of wind.
"Kill!" At this time, a priest of the Lord of the Dawn, wearing chain mail and wielding a large-caliber revolver, cast a divine spell to restore physical strength to the surrounding soldiers, and then jumped over the parapet and killed the group of fish.
Among the people, and with his encouragement, the soldiers rushed out with rifles with bayonets attached.
"Adjust the elevation of the artillery and try to fire a few more shells to clear the way for our infantry and cavalry, and let everyone know that we are not spectators in this war--" A man who just a few minutes ago and his two 70mm mountain guns came from
The artillery lieutenant who set out from the city and was hurriedly deployed here said seriously to his subordinates.
Different from mortars, although these rifled guns have a slower rate of fire, they are more accurate and have a longer range. Therefore, they still have their own place on the battlefield.
Then he threw his hat aside, jumped onto the parapet, and used the instrument in his hand to observe the fleeing murloc army. Behind him, a group of shirtless artillerymen quickly performed various pre-launch operations.
preparation.
"R7, u12" Two data were quickly reported from the officer's mouth, and then he turned his head and shouted loudly to the busy artillerymen behind him. "Remember to shoot accurately and never hit the attacking troops."
On the head."
"Boom - boom -" After two cannon blasts, the two shells immediately hit the only two fish groups on the battlefield that were resisting in an orderly manner.
