Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 540: Pig offensive

"Human firepower is weak, we can rush over." A goblin priest said after watching the goblin legion fall one by one in the firepower of the human army, but the location where they fell is getting closer and closer to the human front. . In its view, it might really be able to completely submerge these main human forces with human tactics.

Just now after most of the goblin legions left the woods, the goblin core command layer that was going to disperse and run directly from the camp deep in the woods when the humans suddenly launched an attack also moved forward.

A few minutes later, they came to a small hill on the edge of the jungle and began to observe the entire battlefield. Soon they saw the goblins on the battlefield attacking like a broken bamboo.

"Wait for now, those humans should not be so easy to deal with, at least the warships they parked on the river are only shooting with guns, not firing." Another goblin chief who seemed to be quite experienced said.

"Before I heard from the men who escaped from Niujiaowan said that the artillery on the human ship is very powerful, so they may be tempting us to attack."

In fact, the main artillery used by Lawrence last time was a heavy mortar, but because the mortar was a new type of artillery, the goblins didn’t understand it. Besides, Lawrence hid the mortar behind the mountain and implemented straddling. Therefore, these little-seen goblins subconsciously thought that all the deadly heavy guns were naval guns on warships.

"That's right, the goblin who fled from downstream the other day also mentioned that these ships have artillery." Another hobgoblin chief said.

"So I think the current situation is probably a trap set by humans. When our entire army is dispatched, they will use artillery to defeat us. So I think we should change our offensive method—"

"What do you mean by the other party?" On a high platform in the position, Syfiel, who was observing the movements of the battlefield, frowned as he watched waves of goblins rushing up in the distance. As the commander-in-chief of the Extraordinary Commando on the island, Safir naturally observes the overall situation of the battlefield in the command headquarters like other commanders.

The reason why Syfiel expressed such emotion is because as the goblins’ headquarters moved forward, the swarms of the goblins’ charge soon stopped, and then after a brief pause, a small group of bear goblins led a small team. He left the front line in pieces and started charging towards the human position.

"It feels like those goblins want to test out our firepower arrangement." As the squads were knocked down to the ground with rifles by the soldiers, Lawrence discovered that the group of goblins were using their lives to test the firepower on the ground. Because the goblins who attacked afterwards obviously got closer to those areas with weaker firepower.

After the first batch of tentative attacks was over, a large number of goblins began to line up loose formations to launch waves of attacks along those areas where the firepower was weak. Or for the goblins, their offense has only two formations, swarming up in swarms or rushing up scatteredly.

But this scattered charge obviously made Lawrence and the others feel a little helpless, because this formation made it easy for them to survive the firearms shot in the defensive positions, and then rush into those positions. Only an hour later, the group of goblins used a lot of lives and corpses to carve out several paths from the temporary obstacles and barbed wire.

Of course, the goblins lost more than 6,000 lives in this process. But for the goblins who commanded in the rear, these losses were totally worth it.

When the corpses were spread all the way to a place less than 10 meters away from the human position, the leaders of this group of goblins sent some bear goblins equipped with leather armor and metal weapons to mix in a group of elite goblins, and then launched a short and intense assault.

In an instant, more than ten thousand goblins appeared on the battlefield. They wielded their weapons and howled and swarmed in the direction of the human position. Obviously, this number of targeted attacks cannot be solved by existing firepower alone.

Therefore, just a few seconds after the goblin's vanguard troops rushed out of the woods, as a red and yellow flag was raised, the gunboats on the water immediately fired shells at the goblin.

"Boom-boom, boom -" After a series of explosions, a large number of goblins were torn to pieces by heavy mortar shells that fell from the sky. But because the priests in the rear released the bloodthirsty spell of war magic at this time, these goblins still did not fear the rush of life and death.

"I found the location of the opponent's altar group, it seems they are serious this time." At the moment the opponent released the war magic, Nora, who had been hovering above the woods where the group of goblins hid, immediately locked the caster's position.

"There is a large altar and a dozen small altars here. It seems that they have pulled out almost all the altars."

"Watch them, wait for my order before acting." Lawrence said, raising his binoculars and looking at the battlefield ahead. Although the battlefield is now fired by artillery, the goblins are falling down, but the remaining goblins Still stepping on the corpses of the compatriots, they launched waves of charges against those places with relatively weak firepower detected before.

Soon, these goblins passed through the death zone full of steel and flame, and then followed the roads that were just opened up to the front of the trenches. Although both sides of the road are full of the flesh and blood of the goblins that were killed before, this has not prevented the living goblins from continuing to charge forward.

Some lucky goblins rushed into the trenches smoothly, because the previous landing time was too short, so there were only two trenches that reached the height of the human chest.

Fortunately, the front width of the front is not large. So Syfiel, who had come to the front line at this time, quickly led the melee team and the main force to successfully eliminate the goblins.

However, because these goblins further penetrated into the battle line, the soldiers had to stop shooting from time to time to kill the goblins scattered in the trenches.

Although those scattered goblins are basically unable to cause any harm to human soldiers, these sporadic outbreaks of hand-to-hand combat have made the firepower on the front suddenly become a lot weaker, and more goblins can rush to the distance of humans. Near place.

It may be the discovery that everything went well for the offensive and the feeling that oneself understood the intensity of the artillery firepower of the human side, so the main goblin troops in the woods also began to slowly walk out of the jungle and launched a wave of attacks against the artillery fire.

I have to say that the commander of this goblin coalition is indeed good at military literacy, able to seize this short opportunity to directly attack.

According to the original plan, the leader of this group of goblins intended to use this batch of goblins to thoroughly test out the human firepower arrangement. But now, after discovering that the firepower of the human position did not seem to be as strong as imagined, they immediately let the remaining army launch an offensive ~lightnovelpub.net~ ready to completely flood the human army in numbers.

Although there are one or two goblin leaders who have some doubts about the firepower of humans, they feel that it is very likely that they are some traps set by humans.

But for the vast majority of goblin bosses, their knowledge of human combat effectiveness is limited to the legends of their ancestors and a few narratives of goblins who flee in human actions before, so they don't think the current situation on the battlefield is problematic.

"Prepare new weapons in the second trench, and then be ready to remove the people from the first trench at any time." Lawrence told the officer on the side, and then a yellow and a green two small flags were raised.

After seeing the message from the headquarters, the soldiers in the second trench quickly opened the heavy wooden boxes that had been transported to the shore by the first batch when they landed, and then opened the lid and took them out. Boxes with iron rod brackets were placed on the breast wall at the front of the position, each box was a circle larger than a large lunch box.

After placing them, they took off the iron covers of these boxes on the side facing the battlefield one by one. Then he unscrewed a small screw cover on the back and raised the arquebus that pulled the fuse, staring nervously at the battlefield.
