In the dark night, the soldiers of Blackhammer Castle and other northern soldiers carried shovels and dug according to the location measured during the day. Soldiers were busy everywhere, even on a winter night in the north, the temperature dropped to zero.
Below, everyone was still working sweatingly, the howling north wind covering up the sound of their work, and the dark night hiding them on the earth.
The Ugor cavalry were constantly monitoring them less than one kilometer away from the Nosca camp to prevent the barbarians from launching a surprise attack at night. However, fortunately, there was no such thing, and no one came from the camp until midnight.
Come out. They are also sweating profusely, but unlike the soldiers of Kislev, the Norscan raiders are drinking and fighting in the camp, sharpening their knives for the upcoming battle tomorrow.
Outside the camp, sections of earth walls are gradually being completed. Since they are temporary fortifications, they are not high and not strong enough. Such small earth walls can be directly knocked down by ordinary cavalry, let alone Norscan Chaos warriors. However, when
When the soldiers held buckets and ran over the earth wall, pouring cold water on them one by one, people noticed the difference.
The water that originally tended to freeze seeped into the soil, condensed the broken soil, and slowly froze under the cold wave. After an hour or two, the originally loose soil wall became extremely solid, like a
Sandwich city wall! And the middle part is solidified ice.
After Caroline's magical processing, the entire city wall was integrated and natural.
The continuous engineering construction continued until late at night, until the entire Norscan camp was closed and surrounded. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the Norscan cavalry were surprised to find that overnight
Suddenly, an airtight wall of frost suddenly appeared around their camp.
In panic, he ran back to the camp and reported to the warchief that Grettir was still sleeping soundly.
"A wall made of ice and stone? No, that's impossible!"
Grettir shouted. However, when he walked out of the tent wearing his armor, he had to believe his eyes. He climbed on the back of the mammoth and looked around. Lady Kislev's "wall" stretched for miles.
, trapping them in the middle like a pocket. They are not afraid of wasting time, but the Norscans cannot afford it.
Grettir knew that the advantage of his army lay in its high morale and strong desire to fight. However, its disadvantage was also obvious and it could not withstand long-term hardship. The Blood God was eager to see bloodshed. If there was no opponent for a long time, there would be chaos within the army.
Suicide and killing, as time goes by, without the opponent taking action, one's own people will become less and less. Rhodes wants to wear himself out and trap himself to death! Grettir is furious.
"Blow the horn! Everyone break out!"
The chief immediately issued the order for a general attack.
In the mist of the early morning, the sound of the horn resounded loudly across the land.
Standing on the tower inside the camp, Rhodes knew that a bloody battle had begun.
"Remember what I taught you before?"
The witch hunter stood on the ice wall and shouted to the guards guarding the city.
"Save the first bullet and shoot again when the distance is close enough!"
"Yes, there is more?"
"Throw the cannonball where the crowd is thickest."
"Yes! Hold your position and let us see how these chaos thugs die!"
Diego bit the cork of the wine bottle and drank the entire bottle of high-alcoholic vodka in one gulp. Then he pulled out the pistol from his waist and looked excitedly at the snowy and foggy battlefield ahead.
Hoo, ho, ho...
The first collective roar of the Norscans broke out of the snow mist. Like a wave of black and white, it surged towards Lady Kislev's ice and snow wall. The white was their skin, and the black was their skin.
Armor! In the middle of this turbulent crowd is the mammoth war elephant that looks like a giant tower and house.
However, facing the tidal wave of Norscans, Rhodes was well prepared. Two Wadlin repeating cannons were mounted behind the ice wall. Under the operation of the gunner, the angle of the muzzle was constantly adjusted until it reached the maximum
Good range.
At the same time, the high priest Yeskovitch on the tower used eagle eye skills to observe the enemy's movements. He loudly shouted the distance between the enemy and ourselves so that the artillerymen could fire accurately.
Finally, the galloping crowd entered the firing range of the continuous cannon.
"Fire!"
The dwarf artillery captain gave the order to fire.
In an instant, artillery fire rang out in the open space inside Rhodes' base camp, like a thunderous explosion! I saw bursts of fire flashing like lightning, and more than twenty artillery shells drew a death trajectory in the air. After a moment of dead silence, Nuo
In the crowd of Ska's army, explosions were heard everywhere, and accompanied by bursts of miserable screams, this northern elegy was played.
More than twenty rounds of shells fired from the rapid-fire cannons fell almost at the same time. The firepower covered the entire charge surface. The Norsca Marauders who charged at the front were instantly blown to pieces. Their bodies were blown into the air.
, or were directly hit in the head by high-speed flying projectiles. Others were knocked down by the air waves caused by the landing of the artillery shells, and were trampled by their companions who rushed up from behind...
Through the eagle eye technique, you can see that the Norscans' charging surface has been completely cut off by half a circle. The red blood is flowing on the snow-colored ground.
And this was not enough. Next, Rhodes ordered the gunners to aim at the majestic mammoth war elephant. The Wadling cannon was different from ordinary artillery in that it had good accuracy. Long-range sniper
Enemy leaders are one of its great uses. At the same time, this is also one of the tactics Rhodes arranged in advance. Capture the thieves first and capture the king first, kill their leader, and the entire Norscan army will be like ants, scattered in a pile of sand.
There was a whirling sound from the capstan, and the muzzle continued to adjust its angle.
Soon, Yeskovitch shouted out the distance between the mammoth and the ice wall.
At this moment, the cannon fired again.
Almost at the same time as the fire flashed, a large number of artillery shells fell near the mammoth war elephant, or even on the war elephant. Even from a distance, the soldiers could hear the wild neighing sound of the giant elephant. The sound was louder than
The roar of more than a dozen male lions is shocking.
Grettir was knocked unconscious by the shelling at this moment. Crushed soil and snowflakes flew around him, and blood dyed the mount under his crotch crimson. Grettir even didn't know how he fell off the back of the mammoth.
When he landed, he felt that all his internal organs seemed to be broken. In his ears, there were the screams of the soldiers and the crazy screams of the mammoths. A huge shadow passed over his head.
The giant beast began to disobey and ran around... The predators were like ants under its feet, and they were like ants. The soldiers' bodies could not withstand the trampling and impact of the giant beast. Under the mammoth's feet, the flesh and blood turned into mud, red.
