The 29th quarter general attack

The Greenskin Army still completed the last section of the road. Now, the castle of the dwarves in front is already in sight.

Along the way, the dwarfs had never stopped harassment. The harassment they were subjected to today was not a raid like yesterday, but bombs from the sky. In addition to the central road, there were also many traps on the outside. Whenever some smart boys thought they had found a chance to leave the brigade, they would immediately regret their decision. Because a deep pit of death appeared on the ground at any time, or a row of pointed wooden stakes that could turn orcs into skewers in a row. Of course, there were also sharp steel wires on the downhill road, and bombs that would detonate when they stepped on them, which could instantly turn a hillside into a sea of ​​fire and other death traps.

The greens cursed all the way, wishing they could catch the dwarves and swallow them alive. But no matter what, they knew that the enemy's nest was the castle built by the dwarves was right in front of them. The dwarves were harassing the outside to prevent them from getting to the castle. As long as they captured the castle, they would win the battle!

This is indeed a castle. A surface fortress built with the excellent engineering technology of the dwarves. Although the dwarves are usually more willing to build a fortress city with surface-to-ground integration, under certain specific conditions, they will also build such a human-like castle. Moreover, due to the differences in engineering technology between the two sides, the castles built by the dwarves are more solid and easier to defend and difficult to attack.

"The green skin is here!" At this moment, the lookout at the highest point of the castle had already seen the green torrent in the distance. In fact, he had already been waiting in this position impatiently.

The great caster Naragrim rushed to the city in the shortest time, snatched the telescope from the lookout, and began to carefully observe the lineup of Greenskin in the distance.

Naragrim is no longer the same as before. At this moment, he has taken off the engineers' "standard uniform" and put on his upper body. However, because his body is covered with various tattoos, his real skin is covered. Both sides of his hair were shaved, leaving only the middle part, and it is dyed orange with his beard. The remaining hair and beard are combed with lard to make it stand up to form a striking hairstyle of a "cockscomb". He carries two weapons on his back, a fine musket, and a rune battle axe.

Although he still maintains the honorary title of "Great Founder", he can lose. Now Naragrim is already a butcher warrior.

"Very good, there are quite a lot of numbers." Naragrim murmured to himself in a low voice. He turned around and had gathered behind him with a large group of engineers who were eager to try (of course there were some butchers too). "Brothers, are you all ready?"

A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd. After staying here for so long, every dwarf became a little impatient.

The helicopter was still hovering above the head of the Greenskin army, but no longer dropped bombs. Therefore, Greenskin was able to set up a formation calmly at this time and prepare to attack the castle.

It was said to be an attack, but in fact, the Greenskin army did not have any siege weapons at the moment. Their war machinery (if any) had been destroyed in the two days of continuous harassment war. According to the orthodox siege steps, Greenskin had no time to launch an attack today. Because without suitable war machinery, they would not be able to attack the solid city walls.

War machinery must be built with appropriate wood, and the dwarves certainly won't leave much qualified wood in this area anymore. This means that this siege battle will drag on for a long time.

However, it is obvious that the Greenskins plan to violate this rule. Not only did they not prepare for camping, they formed an attack formation. A large group of bow and arrow boys were placed on the front line, and it was obvious that they were used to suppress the city. Behind the bow and arrow boys, there was a group of greenskins carrying giant trees. Even the dwarfs had to admit that the Greenskins were very fast, and the only big wood nearby was cut down by them to be used as a city-breaking hammer.

"Cannon preparation." Naragrim shouted loudly.

In the gun position under the watchtower, the engineers had already begun to be busy. The gunpowder loading was almost instantly completed. In front of each cannon, two gunners carefully stuffed the new shell into the muzzle.

Although the invention of gunpowder and cannons has an ancient history, there have always been only two types of shells in this world. Even the Association of Engineers could not invent the third type: the first type of shell is solid shell, and the second type is shotgun, also known as shotgun. Although sometimes, gunners also use chain shells, that type of shell is usually considered a variant of solid shells. But before the war began, the great caster Ash Rufate invented the third type of shell, which is the flowering shell they are about to launch now.

This shell is hollow and has gunpowder stored in the middle. The shell's shell is equipped with a new type of runestone. When the shell lands, a violent impact will cause the runestone on the shell to explode and detonate the gunpowder inside the shell. In the weapon test field, this shell is powerful, but this is their first actual combat. Because even with the skills of the dwarf, this shell can be considered difficult to manufacture, powerful but expensive.

The green skins under the city have been lined up. It is still early today, and it is still a long time before dark - enough time to fight two battles. The battlefield is silent. The dwarves adjust the cannons, and the green skins wait quietly.

The sound of war began at the Greenskin, with tens of thousands of sharp blades hitting rhythmically, making waves of primitive beats. This is an ancient ritual of Greenskin to spread fear to their enemies.

But this makes no sense. Today the dwarves guarding the city may be far inferior to them in number, but they have a clear plan of combat and confidence in victory. The dwarves checked their weapons for the last time. These steels will destroy these green torrents of destruction with their roar.

"Enough!" The boss of the iron squad stopped his men from slapping. "Go ahead, kill them all...waaaagh..."

The Greenskins howled and launched an offensive. The Ironskinskins did have the ability to match a war commander. Under his command, the Greenskins' actions did not appear to be messy. The bow and arrow boys rushed forward one after another, trying to approach the city wall and use their bows to suppress the city head. After they finished something, the strong Greenskins in the gang would carry a giant tree to hit the city gate under the cover of the bow and arrow.

Ordinary orcs are the type who have muscles but no brains, and do whatever they want. But a boss's IQ level is absolutely not comparable to that of an ordinary orc. The boss's eyes are very sharp. As soon as he comes to the city, he notices something: compared with the powerful urban fortress of the dwarves, this temporary castle seems too fragile.

Yes, this is a castle made of stone. However, although this castle is tall, it is very thin. Because it lacks the complex multiple defense measures commonly used by the dwarves. Ordinary castles (that is, human castles) are generally divided into exterior walls and internal towers (or long halls). This temporary castle is a combination of the two - in other words, the entire castle is a building, without a distinction between inside and outside. This makes the castle's defense inelastic, and the breakthrough of any point is equivalent to the fall of the castle.

"Give it to me! Come to me!" Under the supervision of the boss and leaders at all levels, the archers of the brigade began to move closer to the castle. The first one was the goblin's archer, and the orc archers followed closely behind.

The cannons on the city wall opened fire without hesitation.

The new flowering artillery shell fell in the center of the goblins' battle formation. With a dull explosion, it was "cut off" a piece of it in an instant. The impact of the explosion caused the entire square formation to collapse. The goblins came to their senses in shock and immediately began to flee to cry for their parents.

The goblin's escape did not affect the orcs behind him to follow up at all, and of course, it did not affect the other cannons' continued fire. In a blink of an eye, the battle had already broken out in full swing.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Above the city, engineers cleaned the barrel of the gunboat at a speed that ordinary gunners could not achieve, loaded the cannons and aimed at launch. They used their skilled technology to make up for the insufficient cannons. Within the time when ordinary gunners fired three shells, the gunners on the city had fired four shells.

The power of the flowering artillery shells is amazing. Every time the shell hits, the air waves generated by the explosion will first blow away the green skins around the landing point, and then the shrapnel of the shells scattered in all directions, causing a large range of damage. Wherever they go, it is messy and flesh and blood are flying. But the orcs vented all the aggrieved all the way, rushed up desperately, and began to shoot arrows at the top of the city.

Although these bows and arrows did not pose any threat to the covered dwarves, a few clear-headed Greenskins soon discovered an incredible thing-the Greenskins were not attacked by musketeers.

The war between Greenskin and the Dwarf has been so long that both sides know each other clearly. For Greenskin, the Dwarf's muskets and cannons are definitely a long-term nightmare.

But if you have the opportunity to choose on the battlefield, face the cannon or the musket, you can choose one of the two, then the truly calm-minded Green Skin will choose to charge at the cannon.

Although the dwarf's cannons are terrible, but to be honest, there are not too many green skins that die under the cannon. The cannons are powerful and have a long range, but after all, they are troublesome to load and the number cannot be arranged too much at once. In more cases, the cannons only exist as deterrent forces, or as heavy weapons to attack solid fortifications.

Compared with cannons, muskets have the same principle, but because of their convenience of carrying, they can be arranged in a large number on the battlefield at one time. It is impossible to arrange a thousand cannons on the battlefield, but it is not too difficult to arrange ten thousand musketeers. Besides, the loading of muskets is much more convenient and quicker than that of cannons. In short, the combination of various factors makes the casualties caused by muskets far greater than that caused by cannons.

In fact, no matter which battle, the dwarf's musketeers can always be seen and play a major role in the battlefield. The musketeers' bullets can always pose a huge threat to the green-skinned heavy infantry.

For Greenskin, this may be the first time they saw that there was no sign of the musketeers in the siege.

The battle lasted for a while. On the one hand, the bow and arrow boy was under the powerful killing of the firecrackers, and on the other hand, he aimed the shooting at the cannon's shooting port. Although the green-skinned bow and arrow had a lot of room for improvement, it could not hold back the crowds, so many arrows were lucky enough to be shot in. The dwarf's fired several cannons began to slow down.

This scene greatly encouraged the green skin. With the shouts of "waaaagh...", the orcs carrying the giant wood began to rush up. Several flowering bullets flew the green skin carrying the wood into blood and flesh, but new green skins immediately added in. The giant wood was finally carried to the gate and began to hit the city wall.

Seeing that the city gate was about to break through, the green skins were all excited and waaaagh's shouts worked even harder. Even the goblins' bow and arrow boys could tolerate the powerful killing of the flowering bullet without escaping.

However, this situation lasted for a very short time. While the greens were busy hitting the door, the flowering artillery shells were smashed from their heads. These were not fired by cannons, but dropped by dwarf defenders. This was much faster than firing with cannons. In just a short time, more than a dozen shells fell down, killing and injuring most of the orcs attacking the city gate.
