Section thirty-six formation
Section 36 Array
The first reaction of the Iron Boss was that this was another trap. Because although the dwarves in the distance had been arranged in a formation, their number was too small. Although the Green Boss did not have a very accurate concept of numbers, the Iron Boss could easily see that the dwarves were less than two points less than his subordinates.
This time, the Iron Boss went to fight against the dwarves, and they encountered traps along the way. So the situation I saw in front of me made the Iron Boss a little confused. However, the Iron Boss is a war commander after all, that is, he is a very smart boss, so he quickly realized something: no matter what, although there are not many dwarves in front of him, their number makes them unable to escape at all.
However, the previous incident was too impressive, so even in the face of this absolute advantage, the Iron Boss did not dare to let his subordinates rush over, but instead lined up outside the range of the dwarf's cannon to prepare for war, just like tradition.
However, this time, there was no need for the dwarves to be so polite. The greens thought they were still in a safe position, and the dwarves' cannons had already fired without hesitation. Half of the shells fell out, and the other half were in the greenskin array, killing a lot of the greenskins. This forced the greenskins to retreat for a while before they could re-arrange.
But no matter what, Green Skin still set up a formation. The two armies began to confront each other.
The battlefield was silent, with only the sound of forest waves produced by the wind blowing through the bushes. The dwarf and the green skin, a pair of old-fashioned enemies, set up a confrontation on the rare flat ground in this mountainous area. Over the past thousands of years, such battles have occurred countless times. If no special accidents occur, countless times will occur in the future.
The nearby terrain is actually very steep, only this battlefield is a rare flat ground. The battlefield is as narrow as it is, with dwarfs occupying one end and green skin occupying the other end. One side of the battlefield is a steep and difficult to climb, and the other side is a turbulent mountain river. As we all know, although the water surface of this kind of river is not wide, it is deep and fast, and you can't even cross it without a bridge. In other words, this is a very simple narrow battlefield. Even the side with superior forces cannot use the tactic of encircling the enemy's backbone and detours with both wings. It can only attack face to face and consume.
"It's a bit of a strategy." The boss of Iron also saw the mystery of this battlefield. Although the dwarf had few soldiers, this battlefield was quite suitable for one side with few soldiers. However, no matter how hard he said, the boss of Iron was convinced that he had an overwhelming advantage.
Since it is a mountainous area, even "flat land" does not really mean a flat land. It just means that the terrain here is relatively gentler, which can meet the needs of the army to arrange the array. The dwarves rely on a higher hill to set up a formation, placing their ranged troops at a high place, and putting their elite infantry at the lowest point. All the dwarves were wearing excellent armor, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, looking at the enemies in the distance as if they were torn to the distance. However, due to the insufficient number, the dwarves' infantry defense line seemed very thin and could only form a front line. In this way, if one of the small square formations was broken through during the battle, the green skin might cross the entire front line and rush straight to the long-range troops in the rear.
Compared with the dwarves, Greenskin's troops are much stronger, which makes them occupy a larger array of open spaces. Although Greenskins are simple-minded, they are not a stubborn battle. Greenskins have realized that this "flat land" is really not suitable for the galloping of chariots and heavy cavalry, so under the command of the boss and the leaders of all levels, all wild boar cavalry and chariots left their mounts and entered the battle on foot. In addition to goblins, orcs and snot spirits, there are many trolls mixed in the greenskin's team. These silly creatures seem particularly eye-catching under the crowd of goblins. Fortunately, the peninsula is a relatively independent area, and there are no giants here, so there are no giants in the greenskin's military appearance.
The boss of Iron Pi looked at the formation of his subordinates and calmed down. During the march, the boss of Iron Pi was very careful to guard against the ambush of the dwarves, but he removed this worry on the battlefield. Because even an ambush is of little significance now. Especially the dwarves have very few troops, which makes their ambush - if there is an ambush - unable to effectively deter Green Pish.
The real trouble is the terrain. In the middle of the battlefield, that is, the middle of the dwarf and the greenskin, there is a small hill that is said to be high or short. In fact, it is not even a "small hill", but can only be considered a small earth slope. The dwarfs didn't know why they cut off half of the earth slope and turned into a lonely peak in the battlefield. This lonely peak is quite inconvenient. If the greenskin army pushes it flat, it must be divided into two strands when it reaches the edge of the lonely peak. It is easy to form chaos. As we all know, greenskin discipline is chaotic, even if it is common to fight in the battlefield. This lonely peak is not special. When you push and I move forward due to the congestion of the road, internal strife may break out directly.
"Let the goblins go up and try it." The boss of Iron again used the same trick. However, this is a deeply rooted but very effective method of Green Skin. When fighting with the dwarves, you always have to use some cannon fodder first to test the strength of the dwarves' firepower. To be honest, every Green Skin can see now that the long-range firepower of this dwarves legion must be extremely fierce - because they have many musketeers, the number of cannons and crossbows is amazing, but the number of infantry is really not large.
A team of goblins began to break away from the main force and pounced on the dwarves as usual. A goblin shaman mixed among them. After they advanced for a short distance, the goblin shaman began to cast spells, using the power of magic to boost the originally small morale of the goblins, causing them to rush over with their yelling.
At first, the dwarves did not seem to see the attack of this team of goblins and had no reaction. When they rushed past almost half of the distance, suddenly, all the cannons fired together. It seemed like a pile of thunder was thrown into the goblins. Where the shells fell, green skin, soil and various debris were flying all over the sky. At least one-third of the goblins were destroyed by this wave of volleys. The powerful firepower moved the iron boss in the distance.
Although the Iron Boss never expected these goblins to show any performance from the beginning and only treated them as cannon fodder, he did not expect the goblins to be defeated so quickly. How many cannons are there on the other side? It looks like there are at least hundreds of them.
The goblins were directly deceived by the powerful firepower. When they woke up, they immediately cried and shouted to run backwards. In fact, if the goblins launched an attack in the form of scattered soldiers, then this wave would definitely not have suffered such heavy losses. However, if they attacked in the form of scattered soldiers, they would not be able to break the defense line of the dwarf infantry at all. This is a paradox and a reflection of their lack of deep understanding of the boss's intention to fight.
The Iron Boss asked them to attack and tried it, but they didn't let them break through the defense line of the dwarf infantry.
A short while later, the goblin leader, who was hit by the cannon, reported to the boss by the boss. The goblin leader faced the iron boss with the most flattering expression he could - Green skin, although he was a casual person, the guy who lost the battle had no good ending.
"Then, boss, they are so powerful." The goblin leader tried his best to keep himself smiling. "The firepower is too strong, so we can't beat him up. It seems that it's useless to add a big man to the side."
The boss of Iron waved his hand and told the leader to get out. He was a tolerant boss, and he had no bad feelings about this kind of failure that he had long expected.
"Boys, let's have some big things!"
...
Mante Bergman stood on the front line of his team. This was his duty as the captain. There were no other troops ahead of him. At this moment, the entire Avengers' melee troops were barely enough to barely form a front line to protect the fragile long-range troops behind him. Those engineers were good at fiddling with war machinery and muskets, but they really rushed to the side of Green Skin, and their poor short axe would definitely not beat the Green Skin's rough machete.
The weather was very good, the sky was as clear as the sky was clear, and the sun shone on its body was not particularly hot. The green skin in the distance reminded Mante Bergman of the fierce battles he had experienced in the past. The countless baptisms of blood and fire made the long-bearded warriors become firm and brave, and their beards are the best proof of their rich combat experience. Although the green-skinned beasts on the opposite side were almost ten times more than the dwarves, Mante was not shaken in his heart.
The formations of the green skins have begun to be frequently mobilized, and fools also know that they are about to launch an offensive.
There was some commotion behind Mante Bergmans, which was the one with a team of musketeers. Without looking back, Mante knew that the rookies from the Engineers Association were nervous. No wonder, this time it was a general mobilization of the Engineers Association, and many young engineers were on the battlefield for the first time.
"Brothers," Mante deliberately magnified his voice so that the young people could hear it. "We want to teach those young men this time what is war! War is not as simple as watching the greens walk into our trap and ignite the fuse! Instead, it is to solve the problem by relying on our arms and axes."
His old men let out a burst of laughter in response. As usual, the calmness and relaxed expression of the long-bearded warrior quickly affected the young musketeers behind, causing the slight commotion to disappear quickly.
Mante Bergman turned his face and began to look at Ash Rufate far away. Because he stood on the shield carried by his companion, the great caster was located at a high place and was very eye-catching. He couldn't tell what kind of psychology it was. Looking at the calm demeanor of this young great caster, Mante felt a little uncomfortable. He believed that this master Ash Rufate was on the battlefield for the first time because the great caster had never mentioned his performance on the battlefield, and this was usually the greatest capital for the dwarf to brag after drinking (especially after being drunk) - of course, he had never seen the great caster drunkenness. Rather than being drunk, he would say that he became more and more awake as he drank.
No matter what, despite being on the front line and facing the green skin that was ten times that of oneself, the young master was not shaken at all, but just held the giant sword in his hand steadily, waiting for the right fighter.
Mante had no idea that at this moment, a conversation was in the mind of the great founder.
"Master... Green Skin is about to launch an offensive."
"I know." Asu Rufat answered in his mind. He knew what Carrie meant. Carrie hoped that he would retreat to the second line immediately and command the back to ensure safety. "Carrie, don't you calculate how much success rate my plan has?"
