"The human firepower is weak, we can rush over." A goblin priest said after watching that the goblin legions fell one after another under the firepower of the human army, but their fallen positions were getting closer and closer to the human front.
.In its view, it might really be able to completely swamp these main human forces with human sea tactics.
After most of the goblin legions left the woods just now, the goblin core command layer that had previously been preparing to disperse and run away from the camp deep in the woods also moved forward when humans suddenly launched an attack.
A few minutes later, they came to a hillside on the edge of the jungle and began to observe the entire battlefield. Soon they saw the goblins attacking like an overwhelming force on the battlefield.
"Wait for now. Those humans shouldn't be so easy to deal with. At least their warships parked on the river are only shooting with guns and not firing cannons." Another goblin chief who looked quite experienced said.
"I heard from the men who escaped from Niujiao Bay before that the artillery on the human ship is very powerful, so they may be luring us to attack now."
In fact, the main artillery used by Lawrence and the others last time was a heavy mortar. However, because the mortar was a new type of artillery, the goblins did not understand it. In addition, Lawrence hid the mortar behind the mountain and carried out straddle fire.
Therefore, these little-experienced goblins subconsciously thought that all those deadly heavy artillery were naval guns on warships.
"Yes, the goblins who escaped from the downstream direction a few days ago also mentioned that these ships have artillery." Another hobgoblin chief said,
"So I think the current situation is probably a trap set by humans. When our entire army is dispatched, they will use artillery to defeat us. So I think we should change our attack method-"
"What does the other party mean?" Seifer, who was observing the battlefield movements from a high platform in the position, frowned as he looked at the waves of goblins rushing up in the distance. As the commander of the extraordinary commando team on the island,
Commander, at this time, Saifer is naturally observing the overall situation on the battlefield in the headquarters like other commanders.
The reason why Saphiel made such a sigh was because as the goblins' headquarters moved forward, the previous swarm of goblins' charge quickly stopped, and then after a brief pause, a small group of bugbears led a team
Scattered pieces left the front and began to charge towards the human position.
"It feels like those goblins want to test our firepower layout." As those teams were knocked down to the ground by soldiers with rifles, Lawrence discovered that the group of goblins were testing the firepower points on the position with their lives. Because they attacked later.
The goblins were obviously getting closer to the areas with weaker firepower every time.
After the first batch of exploratory attacks ended, a large number of goblins began to form loose formations and launch attacks in waves along the areas where the firepower was weak. Or for the goblins, they only had two attacks.
A formation, swarming up in a swarm or rushing up in scattered pieces.
But this sporadic charge obviously made Lawrence and the others feel a little helpless, because this formation made it easy for them to survive the gun fire from the defensive positions, and then broke into those positions. After only an hour, the group of goblins used a large number of
Lives and corpses carved several paths through improvised barriers and barbed wire.
Of course, the goblins lost more than 6,000 lives in the process. But for the goblins commanding the rear, these losses were completely worth it.
When the corpses were spread all the way to a place less than 10 meters away from the human position, the leaders of this group of goblins sent some bugbears equipped with leather armor and metal weapons to mix with a group of elite goblins, and then launched a short and fierce attack.
assault.
In an instant, more than 10,000 goblins appeared on the battlefield, waving weapons and howling as they rushed towards the human position. Obviously, this number of goblins could not solve the attack with existing firepower alone.
Therefore, just a few seconds after the goblin vanguard troops rushed out of the woods, as a red and yellow flag was raised, the gunboats on the water immediately fired cannonballs at the goblins.
"Boom - boom, boom -" After a series of explosions, a large number of goblins were torn into pieces by heavy mortar shells falling from the sky. However, because the rear priests released the war magic version of bloodthirsty at this time, this group of goblins
The goblins are still charging forward without fear of life and death.
"We found the location of the opponent's altar group. It seems they are serious this time." The moment the opponent released war magic, Nora, who had been hovering above the woods where the goblins were hiding, immediately locked onto the caster's position.
"There is a large altar and a dozen small altars here. It seems that they have almost pulled out all the altars."
"Keep an eye on them and wait for my order before taking action." Lawrence said, raising his telescope and looking at the battlefield ahead. Although the goblins fell in large numbers on the battlefield with the firing of artillery, the remaining goblins
They still stepped on the corpses of their compatriots and launched wave after wave of charges towards the previously detected areas with relatively weak firepower.
Soon, these goblins passed through the death area full of steel and flames, and then followed the roads just opened up to the front of the trenches. Although both sides of the roads were covered with the flesh and blood of previously killed goblins, this did not
There was no hindrance to the surviving goblins to continue charging forward.
Some lucky goblins successfully rushed into the trenches. Because the previous landing time was too short, there were only two trenches at chest height.
Fortunately, the frontal width of the battle line was not large. So Saphiel, who had already arrived at the front line at this time, quickly led the melee team and the main force to successfully eliminate the goblins.
However, as these goblins penetrated further into the battle line, the soldiers had to stop shooting from time to time to kill the goblins scattered into the trenches.
Although those scattered goblins basically cannot cause any harm to human soldiers, these sporadic outbreaks of hand-to-hand combat still make the firepower on the front line suddenly become much weaker, allowing more goblins to rush closer to the human soldiers.
Nearby place.
Perhaps because they found that the attack was going well and felt that they understood the intensity of the human side's artillery fire, the main force of the goblins in the woods slowly began to walk out of the jungle and launched waves of attacks despite the artillery fire.
It has to be said that the commander of the goblin coalition this time has indeed good military qualities and was able to seize this short opportunity to launch an attack directly.
According to the original plan, the leaders of this group of goblins planned to use these goblins to thoroughly test the human firepower arrangement. But now after discovering that the human positional firepower does not seem to be as strong as imagined, they immediately let the remaining troops launch an attack.
, preparing to completely overwhelm this group of human armies with their numbers.
Although there are one or two goblin leaders who are somewhat skeptical about the firepower of humans, and feel that it may be some trap set by humans.
But for the vast majority of the goblin leaders, their understanding of human combat effectiveness is limited to the legends of their ancestors and the narratives of a very small number of goblins who escaped during human actions, so they do not think there is a problem with the current situation on the battlefield.
"Prepare the new weapons in the second trench, and then be ready to remove the people in the first trench at any time." Lawrence instructed the officer next to him, and then two small flags, one yellow and one green, were hoisted.
After seeing the information from the headquarters, the soldiers in the second trench quickly opened the heavy wooden boxes that had been transported to the shore in the first batch when they landed, and then opened the lids and took out the boxes.
One after another, boxes with iron rod supports were placed on the parapet at the front of the position. Each box was larger than a large lunch box.
After placing them, they took off the iron covers on the side of the boxes facing the battlefield one by one. Then they unscrewed a small screw cover on the back, held up the match rope for pulling the fuse, and stared nervously at the battlefield.
