Chapter 659 658 This is Sparta!!!(2/2)
There is also the "Unfallen Pride" guild appointed as the vanguard by Master Qin.
Having just received new equipment, they were already itching and couldn't help themselves. Under the leadership of the veteran melee players, they rushed out howling and harvesting the scattered jackals and kobolds.
After the hussars charged, the fate of the ambushers was already sealed.
The first battle was successful, but it was meaningless.
Lao Qin, who was riding the Skeleton Night Patroller, ordered the forced march to begin without even leaving the players to collect and capture. They had to rush to the vanguard position of the gnolls before the gnolls wandering around made dumplings out of them.
These barbarians also know how to fight.
They set up their vanguard position on a very steep highland with a small battlefield width. This terrain made it impossible for the cavalry to take advantage of it, and the jackals who had the height advantage could kill them without any scruples.
All enemies who want to get close to the position.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to attack the outer defense line of this position, you will need at least several times the number of troops, but that is a general situation.
"The commander requires your artillery to correct their bombardment positions immediately!"
The "Blood-stained Holy Spear Marcus", who was riding a horse and acting as a herald, used very good riding skills to rush to the artillery position where the Plantagenet artillery had not yet deployed. He shouted loudly:
"The first wave of charges will begin in fifteen minutes! Colonel Fraser, we want to see your artillery in place by then!"
"fifteen minutes?"
Colonel Fraser was angry.
He cursed:
"For fifteen minutes, I couldn't even choose a position, let alone arrange a position. If we want to bombard that high ground accurately, we must find a location with a suitable elevation angle."
"No need for precise bombardment!"
Marcus interrupted the colonel's military jargon by shouting:
"Just provide fire support and suppress the long-range attacks of the Jackals! Our soldiers will not wait until your bombardment is over before charging. We will start when you start the bombardment."
"???"
Fraser and several artillery captains under his command were shocked. An artillery captain with a medal on his body shouted:
"What's the point of this kind of artillery fire that can't kill accurately?"
"As I said, it is cover and suppression, creating conditions for the charging troops to approach. Bullets do not have to hit the enemy to be useful. Just shooting can put pressure on the opponent."
Marcus helplessly looked at this group of locals who were still stuck in the outdated tactical thinking of the Napoleonic era of "big artillery bombardment, soldiers charging". As a military enthusiast, it was difficult for him to describe their tactics to these guys.
He could only explain in general terms:
"You don't even need to adjust the shooting position to be precise. As long as you can reach the high ground, use barrage suppression to suppress the gnolls in their defense line and prevent them from rushing out.
We will capture the outermost position after at most two rounds of charges, and you will have enough time to adjust your artillery."
On the other side, the first batch of rushers selected by lot are preparing for the "Death Charge", with Chen Long, who has already had one experience, as their captain.
"I'm not talking about you, you've already got the equipment, why do you still want to participate in this kind of thing?"
The cute new "Yu Xiaohe", who had his body covered with explosives and was grabbing a bottle of wine and pouring it into his mouth, stared at Chen Long with sideways eyes and said:
"Do you have any weird suicidal tendencies?"
"You know nothing."
Chenlong retorted and said:
"There are more advanced battlefield suits over the Black Flame Pass. They are exquisite armors and weapons forged by the dwarves. Their attributes are not inferior to the out-of-print T1 sets, and their appearance is cool and powerful! But you have to exchange for a set of those things.
, a conservative estimate would be at least 6,000 honor points.
Besides, I also plan to exchange it for myself a handsome armored Loth beast as a mount.
After finishing this wave, my honor points will probably be enough.
And I have to advertise my guild. Brother, you are a manufacturing player, why are you here to join in the fun?"
"You care about me, I like it."
Yu Xiaohe, who has a bad temper, obviously doesn't intend to reveal his purpose, but he does have reasons to fight.
He wants Master Broken Knife, a third-rate blacksmith who can only make mass products, to take a closer look at what it means to be a true knife forging master! Unfortunately, the various drawings and materials he needs also require honor points to be redeemed from the quartermaster.
"Everything is ready! It's time to rush!"
Lin's broken gong voice sounded in front of the chaotic front line, causing the first wave of charging newcomers to quickly gather over.
Lin, who was wearing a hussar armor, pointed at the position in the rugged land above and shouted:
"The Jackals' position is very long! We have to make a key breakthrough. Let's rush up from here. Brothers, you will rush in as soon as the Plantagenets fire their cannons! Break through the gap so that the following brothers can follow.
As long as you can win this wave, I’ll give you the ‘first to the top’!
You pick first everything captured in this battle!
Master Qin said, as long as you can rush in and hold the gap, each person will pick three pieces! I will give you the trophies of any quality."
"Awesome! Righteous! There's nothing to say, it's just a life, just do it."
Yu Xiaohe excitedly smashed the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, wiped the corners of his mouth fiercely, and saw Chen Long next to him with a blood-red stripe wrapped around his head, making him look like a treacherous man.
Just like Rambo.
"boom"
The first shell was fired from behind the player's position. Under Colonel Fraser's observation, the calibration shell crossed an arc and landed on top of the Jackal position. After the explosion, it shattered some boulders and also caused the jackals in the position to poke their heads.
The person shrank back.
"So, the purpose is to intimidate?"
The colonel seemed to understand Mr. Qin's idea of using artillery at this moment. He waved his hand and the artillery immediately corrected the shooting position. According to the requirements of the Transian lunatic, there was no need to be too accurate and only barrage suppression was needed, so they changed to more vicious grapes.
bomb.
A few minutes later, sixty dwarf field cannons began to pour firepower frantically towards the Jackal position above from different directions. Although the shots were not accurate, no Jackal could gamble his luck under this kind of fire suppression.
.
"Brothers, rush with me!"
Chenlong shouted.
He was the first one to carry a pack of explosives on his back and howl towards the position above. 100 new recruits followed him like wild dogs on the loose and pounced towards the position that was still being suppressed by bombardment.
This section of the road was difficult to walk, but the suppressed Jackals had no time to hinder them.
Except for some boulders and rolling logs being thrown down, the death charge of the newbies was hardly blocked effectively. Instead, the less precise artillery fire sent away two unlucky guys who deviated from the route after an unlucky miss.
Yu Xiaohe's luck is quite good.
He saw with his own eyes that Chen Long, who was running in front of him, was knocked to the ground by a cool magic from the jackals in the camp. He groaned, but he didn't give in at all. He drank the decisive wine in one gulp and picked up the explosives that Chen Long dropped.
Bao quickened his pace.
He could even see the surprise in the eyes of the jackal shooters hiding behind the low wall in front of him, as if they did not expect that these humans would dare to adopt such a fatal strategy.
But Yu Xiaohe's focus was not on the enemy in front of him.
He glanced at the bastards gathered behind the position and shouted behind him:
"There are many people here! Come to me quickly! Prepare to blow yourself up!"
Crazy Mengxin smashed the lit explosive bag into the position with a wave of his hand, and then climbed up the low wall on his hands and knees. Facing the weapons of dozens of jackals poking at him, Yu Xiaohe grinned, his face twisted.
He pulled out the lead on his body.
In the smoke of gunfire, he activated the contract spell again, stood on the low wall of the position while shouting, opened his arms and smashed the weapon thrust forward like a leap of faith.
"Hey, Gnoll! Your grandpa is here!!!"
"boom"
