Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 648
Lawrence was quite satisfied with the decision made by the group hiding in the tent. Although some of the people in this group are indeed embarrassed, they are still able to get to this point.
After all, this group of people was able to reach the status it is today. It is not without the ups and downs. Naturally, they know that compared with the possibility of more dangerous enemies in the future, it is to endure the danger for a period of time to eradicate those possible enemies. A better choice.
Moreover, there are limits to those who can come out to take risks at this time, at least not the kind of people who are scared to pee after hearing the gunshots.
Now that everyone has reached a consensus. Then Lawrence and the others are naturally prepared. Fortunately, at this time, Safir and the others had basically packed their trophies, so they soon took their weapons to the Taniguchi area to prepare for defense.
At this time, the gunshots of Taniguchi’s defense line appeared to be a bit denser than when Lawrence left before, but from the position of the gunshots, it can be judged that the two fronts were not much different from the previous ones, and neither of them was able to make a decisive advance.
“The opponent has assaulted twice by relying on more people, but their equipment and personnel are not as good as ours.” After meeting with the frontline guards, Lawrence introduced what had happened to the Taniguchi line just now.
“So there is only one person on our side who was injured by a bullet on his shoulder, but the opponent should be able to get more than 20 killed or injured.”
“In other words, if you want to stop the opponent’s attack next, it shouldn’t be too difficult.” Lawrence said after looking at the two sides who were shooting at each other behind the rocks or debris.
“In theory, it should be so.” Viscount Surrey said firmly.
“Let’s not talk about our current terrain advantage. The strength ratio of the two sides has been placed here. Especially after you basically killed most of the extraordinary ones in the group of bandits before, you lost the assault spearhead. It is basically impossible for them to complete the breakthrough.”
“But I need them to get some breakthrough temporarily.” Lawrence said, and then said the decision that everyone had discussed just now.
“Understood, but it’s a little difficult.” Viscount Surrey whispered after looking around and no one noticed them. “You know that the overall organization of our side is not much stronger than the group of bandits. Now we can build a line of defense here purely by having various fortifications.”
“So if we want to lure the enemy deeper, the risk is not too small for us. After all, the distance between us and the group of bandits is really close. In case of retreat, it will be troublesome to be chased and killed by them.”
“I can solve this.” Lawrence thought about it for a while and quickly came up with a plan. “When the time comes, Priest Hannah and I will stay, and the words of you transcendents will be enough for the queen. At least. It is basically impossible to break through our defense at the level of the group of people outside.”
“If this is the case, the problem should be solved much easier.” Viscount Surrey said with a sudden look on his face.
He really didn’t think of this. After all, the division of various classes in this world can be said to be deeply ingrained, and at the same time, there are long-standing rules about how people in each class should do.
Therefore, as an aristocrat, Viscount Surrey would naturally not think of this tactic of relying on the superior as a cover to cover the retreat of those inferior.
But Viscount Surrey was not some kind of aristocrat who was pampered all day long and didn’t know the outside world. At least Lawrence can easily judge from his commanding ability and performance on the battlefield that the way he accumulates experience is definitely not just to listen to his elders.
So after Lawrence said his plan, he just briefly thought about it and agreed with Lawrence and their proposal, instead of putting on some kind of boring aristocratic airs as Lawrence worried.
After simply finalizing the plan, Lawrence and the others immediately took action. Soon, the guards on the previous position quickly withdrew to the inside of the position, and Lawrence and other extraordinary men added to their original battle positions, preparing to implement the plan to lure the enemy into deep.
Soon, the gunfire on the ground began to fade away. And this weakness of firepower was immediately discovered by the bandits who had been staring at the battlefield situation.
After seeing the situation change, the bandits immediately gathered the courage to organize a commando to attack this line of defense.
Although the first wave of attacks was successfully repelled by Lawrence and the others as planned, the opponent also realized that there was indeed something wrong with Lawrence and the guards from the sparse bullets.
“They may have no bullets anymore, continue to organize the assault team!” A swordsman in yellow who was left here to direct the attack showed a look of joy after seeing this situation.
For him, the eldest boss who had not seen her and the guards who attacked the valley from behind the guards made her very uneasy, and even thought of shrinking in her heart.
And now the changes in front of the position have successfully gotten him out of anxiety from all angles.
After the order was given, a new group of commandos was organized. It’s different from the tentative offense just now. This time the bandits’ commando team gathered the most elite manpower and equipment.
After seeing this scene, Lawrence and the others immediately retreated while shooting.
However, in order to make this retreat more realistic, Lawrence not only made several counter-charges with this improvised extraordinary team around him, but also detonated two bombs in the temporarily dug trenches when the opponent entered the trenches. .
“They really can’t hold it anymore.” After seeing his group of elite troops killed more than half, the yellow swordsman who was the monitor was not surprised and rejoiced.
In his opinion, whether it was an assault by an extraordinary person or a bomb in the trenches, it showed that the guards in the valley are already poor at best, and they can win with only a little effort.
However, after they rushed into the valley, they felt that the situation was wrong, because the guards did not completely retreat after giving up the first line of defense, but chose to continue to defend the second simple line of defense to resist.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” After hearing the report from his subordinates, the yellow swordsman said. For him, the current situation is completely out of control, so he naturally grabbed this life-saving straw subconsciously.
But the fact is not the case. At least after entering the valley for a certain distance, the group of bandits found that although the shooting frequency of the guards seemed to have been reduced due to insufficient ammunition supply, the accuracy was more than one level higher.
The several assaults they organized were all beaten back easily after being accurately killed by a series of backbones by these guards.
“Can’t push it? Then add more manpower.” After hearing the news of multiple offensives, UU read www.uukanshu.com, the yellow swordsman who was the leader of the frontal robbers shouted.
“Remove all the outposts on the periphery and concentrate all our manpower to attack. I believe the opponent should not be able to hold it.”
“But those reinforcements—”
“We have paid too much. At this time, it would be almost impossible to make up for the dingy retreat.” The yellow swordsman showed a crazy look on his face. For him, this battle is related to his future. .
“More importantly, the boss has not given us an order to terminate the mission. If he learns that we are willing without the order, he will definitely catch us all and burn them to death.”
“Understand.” After listening to the boss, several subordinates immediately lowered their heads to accept the order, and then ran to the outskirts of the valley to send out a signal.
A few minutes later, these reinforcements made Lawrence on the second line of defense in the valley feel more pressure.
Because more gunmen came from the surrounding area, and some of them had good marksmanship, which suppressed most of the ordinary gunmen on Lawrence’s side.
