Medieval Empire Soldier - Chapter 189

Fourth day of the march.

The combined forces of humans, dwarves, and wood elves encountered no less than six waves of small war beasts and troll monsters.

Thanks to the Wood Elf woodland guards loitering within two miles of the coalition’s main force, and the airborne warnings of the dwarf gyroplanes, Laeren and the others had enough time to prepare in advance, and the coalition was always on the path of the dark creatures of the forest. Perfect ambush.

Often a volley of musketeers and woodland guards, or a group charge of the eternal knights and the white wolf knights, the weak enemies will be defeated with one blow, and they have no intention of fighting again.

In the hinterland of Dracowald Forest, a goblin army of about two thousand Red Venom Tribes is slowly moving.

The scene is very chaotic, the cunning goblin goblins have never been a friendly group, especially the very insidious forest goblins who live in the black forest for a long time, the only meaning of their existence is to occupy the entire forest, expel and kill all pointed ears , humans, beastmen, and even part of their pack.

Forest goblins are slender, with dexterous fingers, dark green skin, large, pointed noses, and sharper teeth, and their eyes always gleam with evil.

Different from their clumsy and incompetent southern relatives, whose main body is orcs, the forest goblins have brought their insidious and cunning to the extreme.

All their weapons are smeared with spider venom, their bodies are covered in filthy, smelly hides and bones, and their ugly faces have pointed noses, pointed ears, and every now and then, they bark with yellow teeth and stab each other with the handles of their knives. few times.

The main components of the army of this Red Venom tribe are a large group of forest goblins and a small number of night goblins, a giant more than six meters tall, and a dozen trolls.

Ordinary forest goblins are purely cannon fodder for consumption, while night goblins are a type of mutant goblins that have strong fighting power among goblins, but are very afraid of light. They prefer to hide in dark and damp caves and mines. Cultivate mushrooms and quarrel.

Night goblins have a certain ability to manufacture weapons, produce and mine. The weapons and equipment of these sinister and wretched creatures covered in tattered black robes are two poisonous short blades or flails, and most of the forest goblins hold A short stone spear and a small wooden shield, further back, the more than 300 wild orcs walking and shaking their heads are even more unbearable equipment, a stone axe, two stone knives, this group of wild orcs with well-developed limbs, except for a few in the lower body. A piece of rags, almost naked.

In the dark dark forest, such a forest goblin army is not conspicuous at all.

“The wood elves reported that the red venom tribe was approaching us, and they didn’t notice that someone was ambushing.” In the shadows in the forest, Francis carefully stuck his head out, pointing to the one not far away that was slowly approaching The goblin goblin: “My baron, the position of the army has been arranged, now waiting for the news of the artillery battalion.”

“Very well, order everyone to continue to ambush, don’t act rashly, and don’t allow anyone to shoot without permission.” Laylen, who was located on a low forest hill, ordered in a low voice, “Wait for them to get closer!”

“Understood!” After Nikas-Francis responded, the short body left. …

“Lyren, this forest goblin may not be as easy to deal with as imagined.” Von Tugenheim, who was lurking on the side, interjected: “Look there, a large group of crawling shadows, if I guessed correctly, that is the The deadly detours of the Nagra – Venomous Deathcrawlers are a great threat to our rear artillery positions.”

“Then, Tugenheim, what can you do?” Leron asked rhetorically.

‘Death Creeper is extremely fast in the forest, and the rugged forest terrain is not suitable for horses to run. Our knights can’t catch up, so it is basically impossible to intercept them. The adopted son of the White Wolf Elector turned his attention to the group of green-skinned goblins riding large spiders. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, “Laylen, give me the command of the three spearmen and the two halberdiers, I am familiar with them. Their combat habits can at least reduce the threat of death creepers to the back row. ”

“No problem, hurry up!”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Tugenheim grinned and left with the four white wolf knights.

Lyren turned his attention to the forest again, with the baron’s flag officer Adrian Gentry guarding him.

At the same time, the four mule carts holding mortars in the rear of the coalition had arrived at their designated positions. Together with his student Anna, Sutesen quickly instructed the artillery crew to tear off the cannon jackets and loaded the test shells at the same time.

Not long after the coalition forces entered the forest, the head of the Red Venom Tribe, Snugla Poison, the cunning forest goblin warlord knew that a human army had appeared in the Black Forest. After that, the goblin warlord who worshiped the spider **** immediately made a decision. In response, it sent the 2,000-strong tribal army to the place where the dragon slept, in order to protect its old nest from being eaten by the damned human shrimp.

And Snagra-Poison Saliva is watching out for a brass-bodied bull-headed blood beast that appears around the dark abyss and the disputes it leads in the Beastmen tribe and the Black Forest, which is far more lethal than the human patrol battalion. Thousands of forest goblins have died under the blood-red double axe of the brass minotaur, and the forest goblin warlord is also actively offering sacrifices to the thousand-eyed spider god, aiming to gain the powerful force to restrain the war beasts.

“Boss! Boss!”

An ugly goblin riding a big spider crossed the green tide, and soon came to another goblin who was bigger and greener. The bigger and greener guy was the army leader Stevic-blind, a blind man. Forest goblin shaman.

The shaman wears a beam hat surrounded by colorful feathers seized from the imperial army, holding a green spider staff in his left hand, a stone axe in his right hand, and a blue drama extracted from spider venom Poison paint, smeared on the thin body, seems to have some protective effect.

“Go fart!” The ugly wrinkled face of the forest goblin shaman revealed a bit of cruelty, and grinned and screamed: “The spider **** curses you, **** it!”

“Boss, boss! My spider smells the fleshy scent of human shrimp, there must be humans around here!” The spider rider’s ugly face was filled with a flattering smile: “Human shrimp, boss! Let the spider kill it them!”

“Shrimp?” The forest goblin shaman narrowed his red eyes, in fact, it couldn’t see anything, but Stevic-Blind was given excellent hearing by the spider god. …

The naturally cunning creature is very sensitive to the surrounding changes. With the reminder of the spider rider, it vaguely heard the light footsteps coming from the forest ahead.

Intuition tells it… ah no, there is no doubt, that is the human beings of God!

“Quick! Quick! Quick! Green bastards, step back, step back! I think there’s a lot of shrimp in front of me!” Stevic-Blind stood up from the spider’s back and screamed: “Here’s shrimp, Here comes the shrimp!”

As a result, the goblins were in a mess, and the hundreds of wild orcs behind them lost their control in an instant and were beaten.

“Shrimp? Where’s the shrimp?! Waaagh!!!”

“I drop a big axe, I can’t stand it!”

“What are you looking at? I cut it with a stone knife, do you believe it?”

“I’ll look at you! Look at you!”

But in the chaos, with the magical brain circuits of the goblins, they can always achieve the boss’s order in a detour, and the entire green army as a whole retreats slowly backwards.

“Huh?” The sudden situation made Lailun a little stunned, although he didn’t know how this group of ugly green creatures knew that there was an ambush ahead, but…

“Fire!”

“Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~”

In the back row of the position, the test leads of the four mortars were ignited by the gunners. With the roar of the forest, four explosive bombs swaying with orange-red tail flames flew up, and then fell in a parabola with a certain curvature.

A few seconds later, one blew up on the tree trunk, the other deviates from the target, and the two landed in the middle of the dense goblin group, which immediately ignited a sea of ​​blazing fire, killing more than 30 goblins, and also startling several groups of forests. Between flying birds.

“The distance is far away, adjust the angle and blast straight ahead!” Almost at the same time, the imperial engineer Suteson shouted: “Anna!”

“The left side is offset by 11°, and the elevation angle is 37°42′.” In front of the artillery position, for the first actual combat operation, the excited young female apprentice held a crystal-polished measuring instrument and immediately gave an adjustment data, “Well… black Less gunpowder…”

The imperial engineer turned his head to look at his students, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He shouted to the gunners: “Reduce the black powder by two points, reload!”

“Reload!”

“Fire!”

“Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~”

The gunner quickly adjusted the parameters to reduce the amount of black powder, and the four mortars spewed flames again.

This time, the four cannonballs that dragged the orange-red tail flame were impartial, and all landed in the densest place. One of them blew up several wild orcs, and fired in one round, killing nearly 70 forest goblins. .

Anna looked through the crystal telescope, and the hateful green creature was blown away and fled. She noticed the stern gaze from Sutterson’s mentor, and a tinge of shame flashed on her hot cheeks, which also aroused. Because of Anna’s unwillingness to admit defeat, she cheered herself up in her heart and observed it more seriously.

The gunner fired dozens of live ammunition, and the extremely skilled loading steps made the shells fall faster and faster.

After more than ten seconds, the third round of shells fell, and it was a sea of ​​fire again.

“It’s worth the money.” Seeing the goblins being bombed to pieces, Laylen nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s the enemy, it’s the enemy, fight, you gang, idiots!” In the jungle, Stevic-Blind shouted in panic, the black magic of the God of Thousand Eyes condensed at the top of the spider staff. …

The speed of adjustment of the formation of the more than 2,000 greenskin troops was unusually slow, especially the untimely fights of the wild orcs, which hindered the rapid movement of the death crawler, and the entire army faced only chaos, the formation was messy, crowded together, No way forward.

The    chaos lasted for nearly two minutes, during which more than one hundred goblins and twenty wild orcs were killed.

Finally, after the forest goblin shaman identified the enemy’s location, the coalition army also ushered in a counterattack from the greenskin army.

More than 300 death crawlers detoured from both sides, the wild orcs charged ahead, and the stupid giant also aroused his ferocity. He took a big foot and waved a big stick in his hand, mixed with a large number of forest goblins. And the night goblins, the trolls grinned, the stinking acid dripping from the corners of their mouths, and the claws scraped the ground with a puff of dust.

Baron Draco calmly watched the green-skinned army charging forward, and ordered: “Adrian, send orders to fight!”

Soon, Lallen’s orders were sent to the companies, and the company captains shouted: “Fight! Fight! Warriors of the Empire!”

The five baronial halberdiers in the front row clenched their sharp halberds. They stepped forward with their left legs, lowered their center of gravity, and faced the enemy with their halberds. They formed the first line of defense. Eighty men in half-body plate armor. Under the command of Gavin Clinton, the Eternal Guard stood at the very center of the defense line. These veterans who had experienced many battles exuded a chilling aura.

Uric Swordsmen, Middenheim Halberds, more than 30 Wood Elf Eternal Guards, and more than 50 dwarf warriors filled the remaining vacancies in the defense line.

One hundred and twenty musketeers were divided into two teams, each of them leveling their fine muskets and aiming straight ahead.

Hundreds of crossbowmen, wood elf woodland guards and archers formed the second line of defense, flanked by two free militia regiments, a formation of freemen in leather armor, one long sword and the other short firearm. , with their enthusiasm and loyalty to war, they can exert unexpected combat power.

“Roar—” The barbaric orc’s savage aura was getting closer and closer. The six-meter-high giant was extremely slow, but it felt very oppressive. The trees collapsed under the giant’s feet, sinking deep into the soil, and the ground trembled.

But the coalition’s defenses stood still, and steel-like discipline was the magic weapon of the Empire’s victory.

The dwarf patriarch Hani-Dorati raised the rune hammer, the ancient hatred of the greenskin creature burned in his chest, and issued a battle cry belonging to the dwarves: “Dwarves! For Karaka al Karak! For the High King!”

The dwarf warriors, who were also enraged by their deep hatred, responded loudly to their chief: “Kazuka, ha!!”

“The dwarfs with loud voices, a bunch of idiots.” Standing in the inner position of the second line of defense, the wood elf woodland lord glanced at the dwarves with complicated eyes. The courage of the dwarves gave him a little appreciation, but the noble Eslai How can you be compared by a dwarf that smells of gravel?

Then, Olasif-Piazza drew out the woodland long sword, and the force of nature shone around him: “Eisley!”

The young wood elf recruits were also driven by the atmosphere of the battlefield. More than 70 woodland guards lined up with bows and arrows, which was very elven aesthetic. …

This is not only a war, but a great opportunity to regain the glory of Eslay!

Let human monkeys and short stacks see what real courage is!

The    mortar shells kept falling on the path of the greenskin army charging, blazing fire after fire.

300 meters;

“Stop!”

The formation of more than 2,000 green-skinned creatures shook the sky and the earth. In the forest in front of the soldiers of the first layer of defense, there were dark green figures swarming.

250 meters;

“Eisley, for Lauren Loren!”

The forest guards drew their long bows, and the arrows like torrential rain shot away when the wild orcs had no time to react. The wood elf arrows seemed to have eyes. The head of the wild orc was instantly tied into a hedgehog, and a dozen wild orcs immediately fell forward.

two hundred meters;

“Crossbowmen, fire arrows!”

“Musket, aim at the troll!”

Hundreds of crossbowmen quickly reloaded their bolts, a series of crisp crossbow machine clicks, and hundreds of crossbow bolts flew from all directions like a torrential rain, and fell on the heads of the greenskin army without mercy. They tried to use funny little wood. The shield blocked the arrow, and in an instant, more than a hundred forest goblins and night goblins fell.

150 meters;

“Fire!”

“Spider God, that’s the fire stick for shrimp.” Stewich-blind sensed something, and the forest goblin shaman hurriedly screamed: “You gang, bed bugs! Disperse, disperse!”

Shaman’s cry, it’s too late,

“Bang bang bang—”

The sound of exploding beans shook the forest, and the second layer of defense of the coalition forces rose with thick white gunpowder, one hundred and twenty muskets, and one hundred and twenty powerful armor-piercing lead bullets. The group of demons took away five big fools in one salvo. The wood elf woodland lord also used the elven arrows. The three star rockets penetrated the head of another troll, and the fat and heavy body crushed ten people to death. Several goblin goblins.

Thirty meters;

“Aha, it’s time to settle the hatred!”

Fifty black iron blocks were thrown by the dwarves warriors, but the pungent smell of gunpowder made the dwarves excited, that was the big treasure they had been thinking about and had been preparing for a long time!

“Uh? Is this big iron lump a scumbag?” A savage orc suddenly caught the flying black iron lump, half-pulled his head and widened a pair of small eyes curiously. It found a small thing: “Why is this rope still burning? What the **** is it?”

“Pong!!!”
