Chapter 162 Battle of Beida Lake 10
"Run, run, retreat to the waterport immediately!"
Upon hearing the order to escape, the Goblin Rocket Soldier immediately ran away. As the lowest existence in the Duwu Forest, the Goblin may not have any other abilities, but his ability to escape is first-rate. In just ten seconds, he
They ran a distance of more than 100 meters. This speed was enough to put the 100-meter athletes in another world to shame. You know, the world record holder in the 100-meter race in another world is the Jamaican Bolt, who won the 100-meter race in 2009.
At the World Championships in Berlin, he set an impressive time of 9.58 seconds.
Although the Goblin escaped very quickly, the Skeleton Cavalry was even faster. After all, two legs could not run as fast as four legs.
The Goblin legion that failed to escape was chased by the Skeleton Cavalry. The Skeleton Cavalry used their sharp spears to wildly harvest the Goblin heads.
Despite the crazy pursuit by the skeleton cavalry, nearly half of the goblins survived by chance. At this time, they were only a short distance away from the water port. As long as they worked harder, they could escape and ascend to heaven.
However, the water port they escaped from was not really a defensive position. The Lizardmen only built three wooden protective fences around the water port. They doubted whether such protective fences could block the water port.
Onslaught of Skeleton Cavalry.
At this moment, a lizard man in armor suddenly appeared in front of the wooden fence not far away. He appeared in front of them holding a big flag, "Hurry, hurry, run away this way."
, be careful of the pit under your feet!”
Without thinking, the goblins hurriedly fled towards the fence where the lizard men were. After they escaped into the fence, they immediately fell together. Behind the fence, there were densely packed bowl mouths.
These pits are about fifty centimeters deep. If you are not careful, your whole foot will sink into them.
"Everyone, be careful, don't step into the pit!" Gangya shouted to the people behind him, and then quickly walked towards the depths of the wooden fence.
Gangya knew that the three fences set up by Lord Lelouch were very special. The first fence left a large number of gaps, the second fence only had a small gap, and the third fence only had a gap left by the gate. This is
The only advantage of planting wooden fences is that it can extend the time for infantry and cavalry to attack the camp. If it is accompanied by musket shooting, it will have an excellent effect.
What Gangya doesn't know is that the defense line set up by Lelouch has its origin, and its origin is the famous Battle of Nagashino in Japanese history. In the Battle of Nagashino, Oda Nobunaga was trying to defend against the Takeda family.
The cavalry deliberately placed three fences, namely Que/Second Que and Wu Que, in front of the camp to resist the charge of the cavalry.
As for the trap inside the three gates, it is called the Guaima Pit. The Guaima Pit was a crude trap used by peasant armed forces in the Weihe area of Shandong Province during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties to resist the Qing cavalry. Because it was a completely inferior defense.
This method is rarely recorded in history. To put it simply, it is to dig densely on the cavalry charge route to dig a batch of bowl-shaped earth pits about fifty centimeters deep. Such pits will not cause harm to the infantry, but will
It can effectively hinder the charge of the cavalry. If the leg of the war horse accidentally steps into the turning pit, the leg of the war horse will be broken immediately.
The cost of a horse trap is extremely low. A person can dig a pit in three to four minutes without using tools. Generally, the regular army will not use this simple trap, and only the poor Chinese peasant army will use it.
This is a simple but effective defense method.
The reason why Lelouch adopted this method, apart from the low cost, was that it only had the advantage of saving time. This was the only way to quickly build an effective line of defense against cavalry.
When the undead cavalry rushed into the three fences behind the Goblin legion, the unsuspecting skeleton war horses suddenly
The foot stepped into the horse turning pit. The huge impact and the weight of the horse caused the hoof of the skeleton war horse to be broken instantly by the horse turning pit.
After a skeleton war horse fell, the other skeleton war horse stepped on its corpse and continued to move forward, not caring whether it would die. The biggest shortcoming of the undead is that they are brainless, because they do not have enough intelligence, they are not afraid of death, let alone
Know how to avoid harm effectively.
More and more skeleton cavalrymen rushed into the three fences, and more and more cavalrymen were trapped in the horse pit and had their horses' legs broken.
Seeing that his soldiers were all watching the fun, Lelouch yelled at his soldiers: "What are you still doing there? Quickly order the troops in your hands to raise heavy muskets and shotguns to shoot at the enemy!"
"As you command!"
The lizard musketeers/human musketeers/kobold musketeers/wolf guerrillas/leopard guerrillas stationed at the waterport, as well as the waterport turret troops, all set up their firearms and charged at the skeleton cavalry within the three fences.
The fierce firepower not only turned the skeleton cavalry into dust, but also directly broke part of the wooden fence into pieces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Archmage of the Dead immediately ordered the Skeleton Cavalry to stop the attack and instead put the Tauren who had just transformed into the Undead into the offensive.
Facing the wooden fence set up by Lelouch, the Minotaur zombies did not choose to take a detour, but directly pushed against it. More than a hundred Minotaur zombies just knocked out a huge gap in the three wooden fences. This gap was enough
The undead army marched straight in.
When the minotaur zombies cracked the wooden fence, their mission ended there. The dense fire net woven by the swarms of musketeers easily tore them into pieces. Shotguns shattered them.
His hands, feet, limbs and internal organs were covered with scarlet blood foam in front of the wooden fence.
Only a few minotaur zombies retreated under the orders of the Archmage of the Dead, including Carmen who became a zombie.
Watching Carmen retreat back to the undead army, Zaryusi shook his head helplessly: "What a pity. Carmen, the dignified leader of the tauren, ended up dying at the hands of an unknown undead soldier. How sad!"
Zeboru put his hands in his hands and said, "We will never let Carmen's body be desecrated by the undead. I will personally cut off Carmen's head so that his soul can ascend to heaven."
The Archmage of the Dead did not choose to let the skeleton knights continue to attack. After all, the cavalry was not suitable for fighting in difficult battles. At this time, skeleton archers had emerged from the water in large numbers, and now the undead could finally use their indirect troops.
to fight against the orc army.
Under normal circumstances, after a bow and arrow are soaked in water, the bow string will lose its elasticity due to water immersion, so it cannot continue shooting. Forcing the bow and arrow to shoot may lose the service life of the bow and arrow, causing the bow string to break quickly. However, Nassar
The longbow strings used in the Great Tomb may be of better quality, so being soaked in water did not affect shooting.
"Buzz!"
A black cloud rose into the sky from the army formation of skeleton archers, and then fell into the water harbor like locusts. Five thousand bows and arrows poured down, causing hundreds of orcs who had no time to hide in one breath.
Casualties. Most of these soldiers who had no time to hide were musketeers lacking armor, which caused huge damage to the firepower output of the front line.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
The orcs who were shot but not killed rolled wildly in the musketeers' formation, causing great chaos to the musketeers' formation.
In fact, the scene of queuing up to be shot in Western movies is entirely the imagination of artists. The real situation is that once a soldier who was shot but was not shot to death appears, the entire military formation will immediately become chaotic. It is absolutely impossible.
Alchemist appears
A soldier is shot and killed, but the soldiers next to him are indifferent. Generally speaking, there are three ways to deal with this situation. One is to kill or step on it directly so as not to affect the march; the other is not to rescue and let it fend for itself.
; 3. Move it to a safe area and rescue it immediately.
Because these soldiers were injured on their home ground, they were able to receive rescue from the coalition's sacrificial group. Those orc soldiers who were shot were immediately dragged out of the queue, and then pulled to a safe position by melee troops. Finally, the coalition forces
The sacrificial group provides treatment.
It is worth mentioning that the first round of arrow rain from the undead only killed dozens of lizard people, which means that the five thousand bows and arrows only killed a few dozen people.
Don't say it's impossible. "Each bullet destroys an enemy" is just wishful thinking. If that were true, the War of Resistance would not last eight years. In the Battle of Shangganling in North Korea, Eagle Jam consumed 400 rounds of bullets.
It can hit a target, but the rabbit also consumes more than 100 rounds to destroy an enemy. In modern warfare, when the rabbit defeated the monkey in 1979, it eliminated 57,152 enemies, consuming 55 million rounds of bullets and 1.06 million rounds of artillery shells. Only
Counting bullets, more than 900 rounds can kill an enemy. Five thousand bows and arrows can kill dozens of people, which is not that excessive.
As for the rumors on the Internet that Yingjiang soldiers kill an enemy with an average of 200,000 rounds of ammunition, just listen to it, but don’t believe it. You know, a Yingjiang infantry usually carries 7 magazines, a total of 210 rounds of ammunition. A U.S. military battalion has three
There are more than a hundred people with a total of 60,000 rounds and 200,000 bullets, which means that it takes three battalions to fire at full strength to kill an enemy...
In fact, the kill ratio of projectiles and bows in ancient times was much higher than in modern warfare. Especially in the era of queuing to kill, the kill ratio could reach 10:1 or 8:1. This is mainly because ancient military formations attacked in groups.
Therefore, the kill ratio is super high. Only in city defense battles or position defense battles, the kill ratio of bows and arrows will drop significantly.
After experiencing the first wave of attacks from the undead, the orc army immediately launched a counterattack. More than two thousand soldiers nervously and orderly filled the muskets with projectiles, and then fired the muskets at the undead uniformly.
Because most of the undead are located on flat beaches, the unsheltered undead have become a living target for the orc army. After the first round of musket shooting, the casualty ratio of the undead was fully double that of the lizardmen.
The death rate accounts for three-quarters of the total casualties.
This is due to the lack of shooting accuracy of the orc musketeers after dark. If it were during the day, more undead would die.
Compared with the skeleton archers' record of killing very few people, the orc army far surpasses the skeleton archers in terms of firepower and lethality. The shotgun shells fired by the heavy guns are themselves a large and dense barrage, hitting the target
Skeletons can easily be blasted into rubbish, and the lethality of the weapons on both sides is not at the same level. In addition, the orc army is in a defensive position, so the death rate of the undead is extremely high.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting!"
After the Archmage of the Dead ordered the skeleton archers to fire several rounds at the enemy's positions, he realized that he could not gain any advantage by firing indirect weapons at each other. The opponent's firearms could easily shatter the fragile shields of the undead, and
The undead's bows and arrows are unable to penetrate the enemy's armor. Even if the opponent finds a wooden board in front of him, the undead's bows and arrows will be useless.
Being in a water port, the most indispensable thing is wooden products. In order to resist the bows and arrows of the undead, the orc musketeers without shield protection took out tables/chairs/stools/boxes and cutting boards to block them.
