Struggle in the Steam Age

The war broke out suddenly at 1:00 in the morning of the next day, but in view of the extremely low organization of the goblins, the goblins that took advantage of the night were a small group of seven or eight hundred elite troops with some extraordinary goblins. Because if it is not elite, just marching five or six kilometers at night can make all the goblins who sneak attack run.

But they obviously did not expect that the position designed by Lawrence had the function of preventing night attacks. When they touched a place two or three hundred meters away from the position, some goblins felt that their feet had stepped on something, and then there was a sting. The feet are uploaded.

Although an elite goblin can guarantee that he will not shout when encountering such an attack, it feels a little resistance when trying to pull its feet from the spikes that are likely to have pierced the soles of their feet. Then suddenly there was a jingle sound in front of him.

At this time, there were not only one or two goblins who tried to pull their feet from the ground, so the front of the battlefield was jingling. After noticing it was wrong, the goblins lowered their heads and realized that some barbed wires were piercing their feet, and these wires were all connected to the barbed wire in front of the distant position.

So when they pulled their feet, they also pulled the iron wire, which then drove the metal pieces and bells on the iron wire to make a clanging sound. In the end, it was set on fire by various guns.

The goblin bosses who led the team thought it was difficult for the human army to see them when the fire on the ground was very dark, so they planned to continue the charge. But I didn’t expect these bullets to hit them accurately and hard. The first batch of enchanted bullets killed the leading extraordinary goblin bosses seven or eighty-eight, and then rows of bullets directly blew through their large forces like a hurricane. .

When the few surviving goblin bosses managed to reorganize their troops, they found that their troops had been completely defeated. The dense bullets still kept falling around these survivors like eyes, forcing them to scatter and flee.

After escaping completely, the goblin leaders counted their manpower, only to find that in just a few minutes, only more than 100 of the 700 or 800 elite were still alive, and many of the goblin’s embarrassed weapons and armor were lost. There are still wounds on the body.

Obviously, in this case, they were already unable to continue their offensive, especially when they hadn't figured out how that group of humans could see themselves clearly in the dark.

Just as the few remaining goblin bosses ran away with a group of remnants who were defeated and desperate, Lawrence, who was startled by gunshots from their sleep, had just entered the trenches and prepared to fight. As a result, as soon as she entered the trenches, she saw Fatina and several subordinates withdraw from the front-line reconnaissance post.

"How's the situation?" Lawrence knew that the battle was over when he watched several rat men with rifles on their shoulders and withdrew to the residence on the ground. But out of concern for the specific circumstances of this first exchange of fire, Lawrence still asked what the gunfire was all about.

"Approximately 1,000 goblins sneak attacks, all of them are elite troops. There are also some extraordinary goblins as their leaders." Fatina said with a slight contempt. "I really don't know what the group of goblins, who can see things in such a low-light night, think, actually have the courage to fight with us at night."

"I think they might not know your existence." Lawrence said after thinking for a while. After all, because the rat people were more adept at night activities, they all arranged night shifts when arranging work. During the day, they all stayed asleep in the camp tent. Therefore, the goblins who came to investigate during the day were basically unable to find the existence of the rat people, so they arrogantly came to attack tonight.

And just now, the elite scavenger warriors discovered the existence of those goblins for the first time. When the goblins stepped on the barbed wire fence placed on the forefront of the position, the scavengers also successfully summoned the human forces preparing for the war, and then let those The human forces focused and fired in the direction in which they fired with tracer enchanted bullets, causing a serious blow to the invading enemy.

If you don't have these elite scavengers with excellent night vision ability, the metal pieces and metal bells hanging on the wire fence just now can also provide the approximate location of the attacker, and then let everyone shoot at the place where the noise is made. But in this way, it is absolutely impossible to kill most of the goblin bosses who came in the first round like the Ratman, and it is impossible to win the final victory with almost zero casualties in such a straightforward manner.

After simply encouraging the Ratman warriors that Fatina had brought, Lawrence and the others returned to the fortification where they currently live. Just after lying down, Nora's voice rang in his mind.

"I always feel that the fortification you designed before feels a bit familiar. Where did you copy it from? I seem to have seen this method of fortification in your memory when I was born before."

"In 1917, the Belgian front." Lawrence said briefly, and this reminded Nora. "Is it the perfect trench at the end of the First World War? That's right. For goblins who like to engage in group charges, this allows us to cause the greatest damage with the least amount of manpower, especially when you have more than 30 machine guns in your hand. ."

"Yes, that's what I think." Lawrence said, "but I am a little worried that they will lose too much at the beginning and run away. If this is the case, the next jungle guerrilla warfare will definitely be disgusting enough, and even completely destroy our control. All the efforts and plans for this piece of land."

"So tomorrow this war is definitely not easy to fight. You must block the opponent, but you can't scare the opponent back. You must consume as much of the goblin's vitality as possible." At this point, Lawrence opened his mouth to Nara and Saifi. Er instructed, "Well, good night everyone, go to bed. I think tomorrow will be the longest day in our lives for us."

The next morning the sun had just risen, and before the thin mist had cleared, the army of goblins that had moved to about ten kilometers from the coastline left their makeshift shack and marched towards the place where humans were stationed by the sea. past.

At the same time, the human army also entered the position after eating breakfast and began to deploy. And moved a large number of weapons and ammunition into the front-end temporary ammunition warehouse.

According to the reconnaissance of the scout ~www.ltnovel.com~, this group of goblins first established a forward attack base in the hilly area about 3000 meters away from the human position, and then set up a tune around the camp. Obviously, the goblins have basically figured out Lawrence's number and extraordinary power level through the continuous reconnaissance in these days.

Because Lawrence concealed some of the killers he prepared, the goblin spellcasters as the commanders subconsciously believed that the humans who came here this time should use the fortifications to defend and counterattack just like before. After all, the humans in the previous several pioneering wars Did this

Considering that it is difficult to conquer human positions in one day, the leading caster goblins began to organize these messy goblins to set up a starting camp to avoid being easily defeated by humans through night attacks.

As a result, everyone passed in this sit-in on the first day. Except for the small-scale exchange of fire in the forward position, or the unilateral bullet-eating of the goblins sent to test the human firepower, everything seemed very quiet.

"Will they stop coming to attack?" Liszt, the director of the temporary military hospital, said with some worry during the pre-war meeting that night. "Now we have to bring in a lot of things from the outside world. If it is consumed by local indigenous people for a long time, it will definitely be our disadvantage."
