Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven Skarni Xingbing Xue Xue Hate Bellegar to Cut His Beard and Abandon His Robe
PS: Today’s chapter is 500 words, I hope you all enjoy reading it!
The Eight Peaks Mountain that haunted the Angrond clan was now close at hand, but Belegar felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.
He was born in the refuge of the Black Mountains three hundred years ago, and was a direct descendant of Rune, the first king of Angland. At that time, the Angland clan was in great decline, from its heyday of 100,000 people to just over 30,000.
Belegar except from before
In addition to the artifact, the Hammer of Angrond, Zuna inherited only an endless legacy of hatred, a book of hatred that was too full to contain, and a man who was almost crushed by the weight of time and who was passionate about the cause of regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain.
A desperate dwarf clan.
Belega knew that if this continued, the Angrond clan was destined to decline. The dwarves were not a race that could exist as a nomadic tribe. Only by recovering the Eight Peaks Mountain from the greenskins could the Angrond clan be revitalized.
About eighty-five years ago, Belegar made the first attempt to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain.
He lost miserably in this battle. Due to carelessness, an entire expeditionary force was defeated. Belegar almost escaped with his life. After two weeks of defeat, King Angland, who was living in the wilderness, finally gathered his strength.
Hundreds of defeated troops embarked on the return journey.
After that, he spent another thirty years preparing. He personally went to the Eternal Peak to ask for help from the Dwarf High King, borrowed a powerful army, and once approached the main fort, but in the end he was defeated by the greenskin's tide of offensive.
The next rout.
Because it is too difficult to attack Bafeng Mountain.
Bafeng Mountain is located inside the bowl-shaped mountain range, surrounded by eight peaks. Each peak has a unique name. Because the peaks are too high, no army in the surface world has the ability to climb the peaks, so this place was chosen as Ange.
The capital of the kingdom of the Lande clan, the strong fortifications and walls built by the dwarves in the past are now reversed.
It has become a lingering nightmare for the dwarves, because from the mining town at the foot of the mountain to the watchtower on the mountainside, from the majestic dwarf fortress to the gorgeous, sturdy and majestic main castle, Belegar's army needs to break through more than a dozen lines of defense.
And the sea-like green plague in the Eight Peaks Mountain will not allow Belegar and his army to succeed easily.
Most of the city is deep into the mountains. Most of the city's areas are carved out of the rock. There are gorgeous grand squares and royal halls, and countless leyline networks. In the dark leyline networks, large groups of Ska
The Wenrat people are entrenched there.
The second expedition failed, and Belegar learned his lesson again. He spent decades reorganizing his armaments, containing defeated troops, and raising funds. He learned almost all siege methods that could be learned. No matter how big the defenders were, any city could be defeated.
The elite will surrender or collapse under his attack.
Now, the king of Angland proclaimed himself the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain. He led his army back again and launched a third expedition towards his homeland.
This time, Belega made the most meticulous preparations.
He did not directly attack the gate of Bafeng Mountain, because Belega, who was familiar with the geographical environment of Bafeng Mountain, knew that even if his army could break through the gate, there would still be more than a dozen checkpoints waiting for him behind.
Belegar first led an expeditionary force of 8,000 people to attack everywhere and successively eliminated several small green-skinned tribes entrenched near the Eight Peaks Mountain.
A piece of good news was learned by the dwarves, that is, the leader of the Evil Moon Clan, the green-skinned goblin who proclaimed himself the Warlord of Eight Peaks Mountain, had something to do and led his elite troops out, and was currently not in Eight Peaks Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Belegar immediately started his plan.
First of all, for each greenskin tribe that was wiped out, Belegar ordered not to kill them all, but to leave a few smart-talking goblins and let them go back one by one to report the outcome of the failure and the appearance of the dwarf expeditionary force to the remaining troops in Eight Peaks Mountain.
.
When these survivors continued to pour into the gate of Bafeng Mountain and reported the news of their defeat, the Goblin warlords responsible for garrisoning Bafeng Mountain were very angry on the one hand, and felt extremely scared on the other. They kept shouting
The bearded enemy came, and the scene was very chaotic. For several days, survivors kept coming to the gate to ask for support, and the morale of these goblin defenders gradually weakened.
Belegar waited patiently for three days before the dwarf expedition finally launched the attack.
Siege engines, siege towers, battering rams, tunnels, artillery, Belegar can easily find the weakest points of the enemy's defenses by simply inspecting the enemy's walls. The dwarf miners will dig trenches and tunnels and slowly approach the fort.
, and then surged in under the cover of artillery and detonators
Entering the fortress, at the same time, the dwarf miners will also use earth to build high platforms and protective walls. The dwarves' thunder gunners and rangers can effectively suppress the fire attack on the city wall. Without Skarsnik's command, the goblins quickly collapsed. Baelor
Jia successfully broke through the gate of Bafeng Mountain.
After winning the first battle, Belegar was not dazzled by the victory. He was well aware of the difficulty of recapturing the Eight Peaks Mountain. Under his command, the dwarves built a large number of fortifications and advanced step by step, defeating the Evil Moon clan.
It took more than half a month for Beleja's army to defeat several counterattacks by the Xie Yue clan, break through five lines of defense, and establish a base in the mining town at the foot of Bafeng Mountain, aiming directly at the sentry tower halfway up the mountain.
Everything seems to be going very smoothly.
But just when Belegar was fighting fiercely in the Eight Peaks Mountain, the leader of the Evil Moon Clan, Skarsnik, the self-proclaimed "Warlord of the Eight Peaks Mountain", returned.
Skarsnik is a cunning Goblin warlord. He is one of the very few Goblins who can ascend to the leadership position in the three-level system of Orcs, Goblins and Grots among greenskins. He is extraordinary.
Skarsnik's cunning and vicious nature are the capital of his success. With the help of a giant cave squig "Goblar", within the Evil Moon Clan, Orcs can only become the subordinates of Goblins.
Many Orcs tried to resist Skarsnik's rule, and without exception they became the delicacies of Squig's "Gobra", who repeatedly established its iron-fisted rule and absolute dominance over the Evil Moon tribe.
lead.
But now, Skarsnik, who has returned from the expedition, hears the boys reporting the news that the bearded enemy is here!
"Hehe, those who can shoot, those who can shoot. I came back this time and caught a lot of Squiggs~ Now that such a bearded enemy is here, wouldn't it be more fun?" Skarsnik said with a sharp laugh.
: "Hehehehahaha~ It's coming, it's coming! Life is always full of surprises!"
"Boys! Follow me! Let us decide the outcome with the bearded enemy!" Skarsnik raised his sword: "We will make these dwarfs pay the price, and their legs will be damaged again."
Thick and short, it may take them a long time to catch up with us!"
"aaaaaaaaaaagh!" Skarsnik raised his sword, which was filled with the power to fuck Brother Mao.
Behind it are thousands of Night Goblin fanatics, tens of thousands of Orcs and Goblin boys, more than 800 Squig riders, and a giant forest spider!
"aaagh!"
"aaaaaaaaaaagh!"
"aaaaaaaaaaagh!"
The green tide finally spread again under Skarsnik's call.
…………
When Belega tried to attack the sentry tower on the mountainside, he keenly felt that there was something different about the greenskin's attack.
After taking down five lines of defense in half a month, the Dwarf Expeditionary Force once saw the hope of regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain.
But the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
The greenskins no longer used Orks or large groups of Goblins to rush forward, but instead used segmented detours and repeatedly harassed a large number of Goblin Squig Riders and Goblin Warg Riders to block the dwarves' progress.
At this time, the dwarves exposed their biggest weakness - slow speed and very low mobility. When the green-skinned troops gave up the frontal attack and adopted repeated harassment and roundabout methods, the dwarves had no way to catch up and destroy them.
Green-skinned mobile troops.
Because even the lowest-level farts among the greenskins can run at the same speed as the fastest rangers among the dwarves, let alone other troops. Belegar and his expeditionary force can fight again and again under the repeated harassment of the greenskins.
Repelling them, but they cannot be annihilated or pursued. Once the dwarves blindly pursue them and encounter a greenskin counterattack, they are easily outflanked and eliminated by the greenskins, and they cannot escape.
After fighting like this for a day, the dwarf expeditionary force suffered considerable losses.
If only we could have a strong cavalry to help us, Belegar thought distressedly. He had already thought of countermeasures, but the dwarves had no cavalry, so it was inevitable that they would be at a disadvantage when facing the green-skinned cavalry.
"Don't blindly pursue the enemy when you encounter them! Pay attention to the protection of your flanks, and use artillery and muskets to attack the invading enemies! Tighten your position!" Belega immediately issued his command: "Slow down and advance layer by layer!"
"roar!"
Following Belegar's command, the dwarf expeditionary force tightened their positions and continued to build fortifications and advance layer by layer to stabilize the situation.
However, the fatal problem of the dwarf army has never been solved. If they can't catch up, they can't catch up. The too slow speed makes Belegar's army lose the initiative, and the initiative in the battle is transferred from the dwarves to the greenskins.
This was Skarsnik's plan. Under the harassment of Goblin Squig Riders and Goblin Warg Riders, the dwarf army did not dare to leave the protection of their musketeers, rangers and cannons.
Now, the dwarves have begun to become passive in the battle situation.
The goblin wolf cavalry harassed the outside, and the dwarf expeditionary force was suppressed and beaten inside the fortifications, and the response from the front and back became worse. The goblin dive bombers mounted the farts on the trebuchets and added simple canvas wings to allow them to adjust themselves in the air.
direction, holding gunpowder and using suicide attacks to destroy the dwarf defenses.
This move was beyond the dwarves' expectations. The dwarves who did not dare to leave the fortifications were completely unaware of the situation outside. After several days of fierce fighting, the morale of the dwarf expeditionary force gradually declined, the speed of advancement became slower and slower, and the reserve of artillery shells began to decrease.
few.
To make matters worse, many dwarf troops began to have opinions. They believed that the glory of dwarves was not to hide behind fortifications, but to bravely go out and fight one-on-one with the greenskins and fight head-on. As the battle became more and more intense,
This kind of noise grew more and more among the dwarf army. At this time, the weakness of the expeditionary force formed by Belegar was finally exposed to Skarsnik.
That means people's hearts are not aligned.
Belegar's expeditionary force is mainly composed of refugees from the Angrond clan and warriors from other kingdoms. For the refugees from the Angrond clan, they have a blood feud with the greenskins, and they cannot bear to stay behind the fortifications for a long time.
Avoid.
The other warriors of the dwarf kingdom were hired by Belegar through speeches and large sums of money, and even verbal promises that they could share the wealth after recovering the Eight Peaks Mountain.
Now that they don't have any of these, how can they endure it?
After continuing to fight for a few more days, Belegar began to feel heavy pressure. The artillery shells and the crossbow bolts of the dwarf rangers, the musketeers were running low on bullets, and the harassment of the goblins was endless.
Bryn Glider Trebuchet's attack destroyed.
The morale of the dwarves began to waver, and under these circumstances, Belegar was forced to agree to leave the fortifications and go out to fight Skarsnik and his Dark Moon tribe.
This played into Skarsnik's plan. The Goblin warlord finally got the outcome he wanted. Under his order, thousands of greenskin troops surrounded the dwarf expeditionary force from all directions.
After days of hard fighting, lack of ammunition, and low morale, the dwarf expeditionary force was submerged by the green tide. Although the dwarves were good at resisting and fought bravely, they still could not withstand the onslaught of the greenskins. They were defeated and were forced to abandon the defense at the foot of the mountain.
fortifications, retreating towards the gate.
However, the dwarves were too slow, and they were soon overtaken by the greenskin army.
In order to cover the retreat of the expeditionary force, a part of the dwarf army launched a desperate countercharge towards the greenskin army.
"My king, we will cover you! Run away!" A group of hammer warriors from the Angland clan launched waves of charges towards the greenskin tribe, hoping to delay the attack of the greenskin army.
Belegar was heartbroken when he saw that his expeditionary force was being defeated. He had to flee for his life frantically. When the king of Angrond looked up, he saw that a large group of Night Goblin fanatics had blocked the retreat of the dwarf expeditionary force.
On the left, there are hundreds of Orc boys and Goblin Squig riders.
On the right, there are hundreds of goblin and wolf cavalry.
Behind him, there were at least 20,000 Goblin boys and a large group of Orcs. Skarsnik even sent his two personal guards, the "Bafeng Mountain War General's Boy" and the "Bafeng Mountain Fanatics"
On the battlefield.
"We are surrounded!" A dwarf cried out loudly: "Granny! Please give your descendants strength!"
"We can't escape!"
"Fight! Fight to the last man standing!"
The dwarf expeditionary force was in deep turmoil, and the green-skinned tide from all directions gradually eroded and submerged the dwarf expeditionary force.
Belegar fled in a hurry under the cover of the personal guards. The king of Angland couldn't help crying. He had made very detailed preparations for this expedition, but in the end he was defeated so easily. The power of the clan has been very declining.
Okay, if this continues, how many years and months will it take to recover Bafeng Mountain?
When he thought of this, Belegar's tears couldn't stop flowing down. He saw many dwarf warriors blocking the greenskin army with their own flesh and blood. The hammer warriors were launching waves of desperate charges to cover the retreat of their compatriots. The thundering gunners
They were all forced into close combat with the dwarf rangers, and were massacred by the greenskins. In order to prevent the greenskins from getting the dwarves' siege weapons, the cannon team detonated powder barrels and killed countless greenskins who rushed up.
On a high platform not far away, Skarsnik was directing the war. With sharp eyes, it immediately spotted Belegar. The cunning Goblin warlord immediately shouted: "The man in the blue cloak
!The short stack with the red hammer pattern on it is Belegar!"
Belegar felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. He knew exactly what would happen if he fell into Skarsnik's hands. All the dwarves captured by the greenskins would have their beards and hair shaved off, and a greenskin tattoo would be branded on their foreheads.
It is more uncomfortable for the dwarves than killing them. The dwarves who do this will become mentally abnormal and will never recover.
The king of the Angland clan quickly threw his cloak on the ground and led his bodyguards to continue running for their lives.
"Ahhh!" Skarsnik saw the greenskins rushing towards the cloak and making a mess, letting Belegar escape. He shouted angrily: "The one with the beard is Belegar!!!"
The greenskins heard Skarsnik's order, gave up their cloaks, and began to search for the bearded dwarf on the chaotic battlefield.
After hearing this, Belegar quickly took out his short knife and cut off a section of his beard, keeping it about the same length as a normal dwarf. The king of the Angrond clan could no longer control that much at this time.
Although cutting off the beard is an indelible shame, living is the most important thing! Otherwise, the mission of recovering Bafeng Mountain will never be realized!
The target was lost again. The greenskins could not find the dwarf with a particularly long beard, and they were fighting on their own again.
"Ahhhh! Idiot!" Skarsnik jumped angrily: "The one with the medium-length beard is Belega!"
"???" The greenskins looked confused, and the movements in their hands stopped.
The battlefield is full of dwarves with medium-length beards.
The greenskin attack stopped instantly. None of the greenskins understood what the boss meant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Belega led two thousand remaining soldiers to break out of the siege and fled towards the gate of Eight Peaks Mountain.
"Idiot! Idiot!" Skarsnik was about to lead his troops in pursuit when a mine suddenly collapsed on the mountainside.
"boom!"
Everyone was shocked by this turn of events.
Groups of rat-man troops rushed out from the cave like a tsunami. They tore the green-skinned army into two pieces on the spot. The Evil Moon clan was caught off guard and was defeated by the rat-men.
In the dark green mine, a red rat warlord was chattering.
"Yesyes! The bearded thing is dead! The little green-skinned thing will be torn to pieces by our big, big, big magic rat empire, yesyes! attack!"
Thousands of Skaven troops joined the battlefield and attacked the green-skinned troops from the side. The Evil Moon Clan was attacked by surprise and suffered heavy losses.
"No, it's not good! Boss! It's the rat, the rat man!" Goblin Shaman shouted towards Skarsnik: "Rat, the rat man is here to attack us!"
"Quik! It's Quik! Send the order, tell the boys not to chase the dwarfs! Come back and kill the mice!" Skarsnik was so angry that he shouted: "Kill the mice first!"
"yes!"
At this time, Belegar gathered the remaining 3,000 remnants of the expeditionary force and had fled a short distance away. In the distance, the Evil Moon Clan and the Skaven Army were fighting fiercely.
"My king! It's the Skaven, they attacked the Evil Moon clan! The greenskins have no time to take care of us for the time being!" An Iron Breaker warrior shouted towards Belegar: "Take advantage of this opportunity to retreat quickly!
