Perhaps because of the existence of trenches, a large number of seriously injured people were evacuated.
After all, when they stay in the trench and the enemy shoots at each other with small weapons, they only need to expose the parts above the chest. Therefore, once they are shot, they have a greater chance of hitting those fatal parts.
Because Nora now needed to provide aerial reconnaissance, even Lawrence in the field hospital personally came out to start operating on the wounded.
This is because it is not easy to operate on these seriously injured patients, and only experienced doctors or extraordinary people like Lawrence can ensure that these injured people are saved as much as possible.
During one emergency wound treatment operation after another, time passed by. Soon, the sky slowly darkened. Oil lamps were also lit in the tents to illuminate these temporary operating rooms.
At this time, the gunshots that had been scattered into the tent from outside slowly disappeared.
"The skirmishers who were in front of the opponent's position are beginning to retreat towards our main position."
Nora, a little doll with night vision ability, reported the enemy's whereabouts to Lawrence at this time. At the same time, she also communicated with Shu Mei who was in the headquarters through the spiritual connection, and notified everything she saw to the headquarters at the same time.
.
"It seems they want to attack on a large scale." After receiving the news from Nora, Lawrence immediately judged what this group of wilderness races wanted to do, and then sent a request to the little doll.
"Have you seen the location of the heavy weapons held by that group of wilderness races? I think if they want to attack now, they will definitely need the support of those heavy weapons."
"Let me take a look." After listening to the mission assigned by Lawrence, Nora climbed up hundreds of meters, and then began to search the periphery of the battle line.
Fortunately, the Harpy, one of the two major air forces among the wilderness races, is also unable to take off at night, so reconnaissance is now much easier than during the day.
After circling the entire Pine Valley position and driving away several groups of vampire bats trying to attack the Pine Valley troops below, Nora basically saw the surrounding situation clearly.
According to her observations, there were 4 to 6 dwarf fire dragon cannons being transported to the preset positions around Pine Valley.
"This group of wilderness race legions are building roads. According to their speed, if nothing happens, the gray dwarves will have their artillery in place at three or four in the morning."
Looking at the wilderness race legions in the distance who were cutting down trees overnight in an attempt to clear a road, as well as the short sections of cannon barrels that only exposed the entrances of the holes, Nora quickly analyzed their target of action.
After all, the Gray Dwarf's Fire Dragon Cannon, as a standard magical artillery, does not fire solid projectiles, but some kind of powerful magic flow.
Therefore, it has almost the same straight trajectory as a light cannon. Therefore, if you want to use the fire dragon cannon in mountainous areas, you must select the firing position, otherwise it will be difficult to hit the target position.
There are not many places around Pine Valley where fire dragon cannons can be deployed, not to mention that the group of wilderness races, in addition to allocating manpower to build roads, are also clearing various obstacles on the surface in many surrounding areas in preparation for building artillery emplacements.
Through aerial reconnaissance, the little puppet discovered that all the artillery positions were hidden behind some short bushes, and even some air defense concealment systems were set up using various vines and trees.
It was through these temporary positions that were being built that Nora roughly deduced how many artillery pieces the opponent could use.
However, considering that under normal circumstances there are more gun positions than artillery, so Nora does not know the specific number of the opponent's fire dragon cannons, so she can only give a rough estimate based on her own guess.
But this number is already much more accurate than the results of other scouts' inspections. Relying on the investigation of the little puppets, the Pine Valley headquarters quickly understood the specific situation on the front line and made corresponding preparations.
.
For example, the dwarf engineers accompanying the army can calculate the direction of the artillery fire of those evil cousins through the position and shape of the gun positions, and then deduce the location of the opponent's next attack spearhead.
As for the wilderness race's failure to guard against Nola's detection, it is simple because they felt that their side had already occupied the air superiority in the area, so the civilized race could not go too deep even if they had some air power.
But what they didn't expect was that as a puppet, Nora's eyesight was much stronger than the naked eyes of most creatures, so as long as she climbed to a certain height, she could clearly see the troop movements hidden behind various concealments.
Or from another perspective, the group of wilderness creatures never thought that there would be a transcendent of Nora's level not on the more important frontline or in the rear, but staying in this second-line hub.
Therefore, when formulating policies, they only regarded Nora as an expert or master-level transcendent. After all, they inferred Nora's strength through her previous battles, and all the enemies the little doll had encountered before were
It was an ordinary monster or a low-level transcendent, so she did not fight with all her strength. Therefore, it is very reasonable for the wilderness race to misjudge.
However, the lack of heavy weapons does not mean that the wilderness races will not attack. Just after the group of scouts who had engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the defenders of Pine Valley withdrew, a large number of rustling footsteps appeared around Pine Valley and were cleared.
The edge of the isolation belt.
Because of the cover of a large number of plants and the fall of night, the defenders of Pine Valley had no idea how many enemies were hidden in the trees dozens of meters away.
Seeing the rustling movements hidden in the darkness of the plants, the flash of some green eyes and the howls of wild beasts lingering in the ears made the soldiers on the Pine Valley defense line
A commotion inevitably broke out. Under such circumstances, the low-level officers and non-commissioned officers on the front line immediately discovered the commotion on the position and issued response orders.
"Reconnaissance shooting." The same order came from the mouths of these front-line commanders. Then the soldiers moved the connecting rod under the trigger, opened the chamber and inserted a bullet. Then they raised their rifles and watched carefully.
Facing the dark woodland across the way, he finally aimed at the target he had chosen before and pulled the trigger.
For a moment, the defensive position of the Pine Valley defenders remembered the sound of scattered gunfire. After the gunshots were heard, the movements in the jungle suddenly became much quieter.
The reason why the effect is so immediate and simple is because the light on the entire battlefield is very weak now, so the soldiers subconsciously fired the reconnaissance bullets at the place with the greatest movement in front of them, so they thought they were invisible in the darkness.
Some of the safe wilderness races were shot directly into the street.
After the scattered gunshots of this round of reconnaissance ended, the movements in the jungle opposite suddenly became much quieter. But more than ten minutes later, those movements started again.
However, this time the other party's movement seemed much smaller, and it sounded like they were hiding behind some obstacles to create movement.
"The legions of the wilderness races are slowly gathering." Nora, who hid her body and flew silently above the group of monsters, reported the current situation to Lawrence.
"However, they are scattered across the entire front in the form of small teams. It seems that they have no intention of launching an attack in a short time."
"In other words, the other party is waiting for the heavy firepower to be in place." After hearing Nora talk about the movements of the wilderness race troops, Lawrence immediately guessed the most likely movement of the wilderness species.
Obviously, these wilderness groups are ready to wait until the heavy firepower is in place to launch a general attack to completely destroy the civilized race army in Pine Valley. But all they are doing now is to harass the defenders of this area as much as possible so that they can attack in the subsequent attack.
