Struggle in the Steam Age

The reserve that the major on the defense line said was actually part of a militia composed of the White Eagle Federation and the sailors of the Erythion Empire. Not only are they good at riding horses, but at the same time they are good at using long and short guns and a variety of cold weapons.

This militia unit rushed over from a military camp outside the city just seven or eight minutes after the fighting broke out. Previously, many ships were blocked in the port due to the sea traffic interrupted by the attack of the Sahua murlocs. Naturally, those workers on the ship will also lose their jobs.

So after the war broke out, the island’s general headquarters simply let all the ships enter the inner harbor that the attacking murlocs could not enter temporarily, and at the same time recruited all the sailors on the ships as militias to strengthen the island’s defenses.

Compared with the aboriginal people on the island, these sailors are more advanced in combat. After all, the sea is not a safe place. In addition to malicious pirates, the vast and fertile sea also breeds countless wild races. So in the battle with these guys, the sailors naturally also practiced a good kung fu.

In addition, the White Eagle Federation and the Elysian Empire have large grasslands suitable for grazing and developed animal husbandry. Therefore, even the sailors in these countries have many people who have been cowboys or farm workers before. Master the skills of riding horses and fighting on horses.

So when this reinforcement arrived, the commander on the line of defense first picked out those who were good at horseback fighting and let them ride on the spare horses of their cavalry regiment, and then asked others to supplement the line of defense. And now, as the attack intensity of the Sahuamen decreased, the commander who was keen to sniff out the change of the battle immediately ordered the standby reserve team to prepare for the attack.

The opportunity they were waiting for came soon, when the two sides were in a stalemate on the battlefield for about ten minutes. A sharp whistling sound suddenly fell from the sky, and then several black spots fell into a small canyon behind the attacking murloc army that was hidden by dense vegetation at the mouth of the canyon.

These mortar shells that fell from the sky accurately fell into the canyon and exploded among the crowds of fish lined up in dense formations, reaping hundreds of lives in an instant.

What's hidden in this place is actually a large group of remnants who had been withdrawn due to heavy casualties when they attacked the defense line. The reason for choosing this place to regroup is because the humans on the defense line cannot see the situation in the canyon behind the plants.

And when these shells fell, some of the Shahua murloc aristocrats were trying to reorganize these broken soldiers and prepare to continue to enter the battlefield.

According to their thoughts, these Roka murlocs as cannon fodder will be pushed to the forefront of the battlefield so that they can replace the elite Sahua murlocs who have lost more than half of them as the attacking spearhead. In this way, it will be more convenient to continue the attack or flee towards the sea.

But they never thought that heavy mortar shells would fall from the sky at this time, and it would be impossible in theory that the artillery on the line of defense would attack the rear of the army located on a cliff. As soon as the shell exploded, the Loka fishers, who had been demoralized, collapsed in an instant.

"Ha, well done." Lawrence said to Nora through the soul connection at this time. At this time, by sharing the vision with the little doll, he clearly saw the eight large-caliber mortar shells dropped by the little doll before exploded in the crowd of fish, and a whole fish that looked nearly a thousand people. The army of people just collapsed.

"Of course, I specially picked the bombs dropped by those people standing in dense places." Nora said while observing the situation. She was just sent by Lawrence to support this side, and the goal of the action is to do everything. The way to create chaos in the rear of this murloc army and dampen their morale.

Just now when Lawrence commanded the armies that had previously retreated from the cliff to smash the firepower of their hands on the Sahua murlocs in the bay and surrounding shores, he naturally considered the army fighting on the line of defense behind him. So he took the space with a large number of mortar shells to the puppet and asked her to launch an air attack on the sahuatan people.

According to his thoughts, with the delay of the troops that should have been reinforced, the remaining troops who are now on the offensive should be in chaos. And at this time, if they can launch an attack from a place they didn't expect, this murloc army should be hit hard.

But what he didn't expect was that when Nora was flying in the air, he smoothly found the place where the group of sahua fish were used to regroup the soldiers, and then used less than ten heavy mortar shells to make these nearly a thousand Loka and the people, whose spirit had collapsed to the limit, completely collapsed.

And this group of Loka murlocs immediately fled after they collapsed. Even if the Shahua murloc nobles and priests who were present continuously killed them, they couldn't stop their current trend of fleeing. When the Lorka fishes escaped this small canyon, chaos quickly spread to the entire army.

The murloc army, which had been unable to attack the former human defense line for a long time due to heavy losses, collapsed suddenly. The Loka who had been shooting desperately as a cover dropped their crossbows and arrows and ran back on the road where they wanted to come. , And after the long-range cover disappeared, the fish people who had been fighting on the front line completely lost their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away. Even ignoring that doing so will expose the fragile back to those humans.

"We have been defensive for so long just now, and then it's time for us to launch an offensive." Seeing the change in the battlefield, the commander-in-chief on the defensive line immediately took the horse rope and jumped on the horse, and then pulled out the suspension. The saber in front of the saddle was raised above his head and shouted. "Follow me-charge!"

After finishing the extremely brief pre-war mobilization, the major rushed to the forefront. Behind him, more than 300 costumes were in chaos, and militiamen wielding various weapons also followed him closely, and at the same time they made deafening shouts of killing.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for such a cavalry without much armor to stay on the battlefield for too long. But now almost all the murlocs are fleeing, so they can easily kill each murloc from behind with a weapon in their hands, and then pass by their bodies like a gust of wind.

"Kill!" At this time, a priest of the Lord of Dawn, who was wearing chain armor and wielding a large-caliber revolver, cast a healing magic on the surrounding soldiers, and then suddenly crossed the breast wall and killed the group of fish. Among the people, and inspired by him, the soldiers rushed out with their bayonet-mounted rifles.

"Adjust the elevation angle of the artillery~www.ltnovel.com~ Try to fire a few more rounds to clear the obstacles for our infantrymen, so that everyone knows that we are not spectators in this war——" A few minutes ago The artillery lieutenant who set out from the city and hurriedly deployed two 70mm mountain cannons spoke to his subordinates seriously.

Unlike mortars, these rifled guns have a slower rate of fire, but they are more accurate and have a longer range. Therefore, there is still a place of its own on the battlefield.

Then he slammed his hat aside, then jumped onto the chest wall and observed the routing murloc army with the instrument in his hand. Behind him, a group of artillerymen were shirtless and quickly doing various pre-launch preparations~www.ltnovel.com~Get cash]Follow vx public.

"R7, u12" soon reported the two data from the officer's mouth, and then he turned his head and shouted at the busy artillery behind him. "Remember to be punctual and never hit the attacking troops."

"Boom-boom -" After the two rounds of artillery sound, the two shells immediately directed at the only two fish crowds on the battlefield that were resisting in an orderly manner.
