The entire army of the wilderness race was dispatched at the first opportunity, giving Lawrence and the others a shock. After all, those groups of goblins, jackals, bugbears and other monsters accompanied by a large number of beasts would indeed give them a shock when they suddenly rushed out of the dark jungle.
People are under great mental pressure.
Fortunately, at this time, some rear artillerymen adjusted the targets of artillery fire in time to intercept, and at the same time, the light artillery equipped on the front line also joined in the shooting. Therefore, they successfully cooperated with the fortifications and infantry on the front line to block the mad rush to the position.
Those monsters that came.
"Fortunately, we just used those special artillery shells to shoot at the gathering areas of dark elves, trolls and gray dwarves in the first round. Otherwise, this flood-like attack is likely to break through our defensive front at some points.
.”
After observing the situation on the field, Nora said to Lawrence while flying in the sky, while dozens of vampire bats scattered around her were flying up and down, trying to knock the little dolls down from the sky.
At this time, Lawrence also saw the current situation of the wilderness races through the simultaneous perspective of Nora. Because of the violent bombardment with special shells just now, the powerful races such as gray dwarves, dark elves or trolls were all trapped.
into a kind of chaos.
If races like gray dwarves and dark elves suffer no more than 1/5 casualties in shelling due to superior equipment and other reasons, they only need to regroup in time like the team that had just fled in various directions and then be able to return and fight again.
.Then the vampire bats and trolls can be said to have suffered heavy losses this time.
Among them, the only army of vampire bats in the air force at night in the wilderness race was concentrated in several surrounding caves before launching the war. As a result, they were directly hit by these special white phosphorus incendiary bombs and burned at the entrance of the cave.
These flames with toxic smoke sealed the cave entrance where the vampire bats were hiding in a very short period of time, and killed almost all the vampire bats in the cave through high temperature, flames and toxic smoke.
This is why the number of vampire bats appearing over Pine Valley is so rare now, because in the previous bombardment, only no more than 1/10 of the vampire bats survived.
Therefore, even if the wilderness race realized that Nora was probably the aerial artillery reconnaissance post after experiencing the artillery bombardment, they would not have enough manpower to attack Nora.
The trolls are another situation. Because of their size and the fact that they have to serve as assault spearheads in the war, their starting point is naturally some forest clearings very close to Pine Valley. As a result, when faced with artillery bombardment,
Because there was no cover from trees, it was directly doused with burning white phosphorus.
As we all know, the troll is a powerful creature. In particular, the troll has extremely powerful defense and regeneration capabilities.
Therefore, when faced with injuries caused mainly by puncture wounds caused by modern gunpowder weapons, it is difficult for them to be stopped by infantry-level firepower in the hands of ordinary people.
For example, after facing a simple cut with a knife, stabbing with a gun, or being shot with a rifle bullet, the injured area can quickly stop bleeding and restore function.
And if there is enough food, they can even grow back their missing bodies in a short period of time. For this reason, in such racial wars, trolls are often used as the spearhead of wilderness races to break through civilization.
The defensive front of the race.
At least in the attack on some small civilized race settlements, these physical tank-like beings can easily block all the bullets in front, and then rely on their own strength and weapons in their hands to attack those wooden walls.
Open a passage to cover other wild creatures from attacking the settlement.
However, this kind of monster is not without any weaknesses. For example, when they face wounds caused by strong acid, strong alkali, flame, or some magical attacks, their extraordinary healing ability will fail.
And the flames on the cannonballs filled with white phosphorus that Lawrence and the others used just now naturally caused huge damage to them.
Unlike the flames caused by the explosion of ordinary artillery shells, the white phosphorus after the explosion of this special artillery shell will stick to everything around it and continue to burn until the white phosphorus is burned out.
After this group of trolls who didn't know the properties of white phosphorus found that they couldn't extinguish the flames by beating and rolling, the panic and burning pain in their bones caused them to run around crazily. As a result, they caused fire in the area where the wilderness race was preparing to attack.
caused widespread chaos.
Situations like this occurred simultaneously at multiple bombardment sites. Through Nora's comprehensive investigation of the situation on the field, Lawrence realized that these bombardments, in addition to killing a small number of elite troops of the wilderness race, made
The biggest contribution actually completely disrupted the offensive pace of the wilderness race.
The most obvious manifestation of this result is that although the current group of wilderness races rush towards the defense line of Pine Valley like a tide, they have lost a lot of organization. The attack has no organized waves.
Lawrence even saw through his telescope that a large creature that looked like a wild boar with tusks actually ran over a group of goblins during the attack.
At this time, the two steam puppets that had been staying at the field hospital started to move. Then they walked towards the front line.
Obviously, the news about the enemy's chaos has been passed to the headquarters. So the headquarters quickly decided to launch counterattacks in multiple directions in order to further disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.
"Now it seems that the whole war is going very well." Looking at the defenders who launched counterattacks on some fronts, Lawrence muttered quietly. Although the overall situation on the battlefield is still that the enemy is strong and we are weak, Pine Valley
The defenders still focus on defense, but this does not mean that they can only rely on fortifications to defend.
In other words, choosing the right time to counterattack in defensive operations is also a very important task. Compared with the tactic of just defending the trenches, in defensive operations, ordinary troops are used to contain the front, and at the same time, some elite troops are used as spearheads to quickly attack the enemy.
It is a smarter tactic to use the flanks and rear to interrupt the opponent's offensive.
For example, the two steam puppets led an elite small force to quickly go around the enemy's rear that was blocked by mines, barbed wire and a series of obstacles, and then decisively launched a charge to cut off the group of wilderness races.
army.
After discovering their charge, Lawrence immediately directed the artillery around him to fire around their attack route, in order to reduce the pressure on them from the surrounding enemy forces as much as possible.
Soon, the enemies in this direction completely collapsed in the attack from both sides. Of course, an important reason why the army of the wilderness race collapsed so violently was because Nora provided detailed information, so the defending troops of Pine Valley
It can accurately select those wild race armies that are no-name or obviously chaotic as assault targets.
After encountering these elites, the chaotic wilderness race army naturally collapsed.
"Brother, be careful. I saw some wanderers from the wilderness race trying to infiltrate into the rear of the Pine Valley defense line." While Lawrence was observing the situation in front of the front, Nora suddenly reminded Lawrence of some of what she had observed.
Unexpected circumstances.
"Let me see." Lawrence immediately became nervous after hearing what Nora said, and then activated his special sphere of influence. Soon he discovered that some invisible extraordinary beings had crossed the line of defensive pine trees in the chaos.
The interior of the valley penetrated.
"Looks like I need to do some exercise." Lawrence muttered as he looked at the real-time surveillance picture sent to him by Nora, because he discovered that a team of wilderness species was quickly rushing towards his location.
