Struggle in the Steam Age

After the brief mobilization, nearly two thousand Sahua murlocs removed their disguise and revealed their original appearance. Then gathered with the Lorca murlocs who had taken out their weapons and rushed towards the only passage behind the resort that could go deep inland. While charging, he threw some combustibles at the resort buildings in an attempt to create chaos.

"I think our side is the real main direction of attack. I quickly sent a telegram like the headquarter requested preparation." Looking at the flames and yellow smoke rising from the building of the resort, Lawrence suddenly realized this time. Attacking your own position is the direction of the opponent's main attack.

After all, the Sahua murlocs are a group of aquatic creatures anyway, unless they have planned and made full preparations, otherwise they will never be able to carry so many firelighters with them.

The resources needed to carry so many firelighters to hide from Lawrence are definitely not a few. If it is only to attract Lawrence and their attention, the other party does not need to spend such a heavy capital. Therefore, Lawrence immediately judged that the bay he was facing was the direction of the opponent's main attack.

"Those murlocs are attacking us." A sentry shouted, and Lawrence immediately lowered his head and looked down the cliff.

As a result, I saw that part of the group of Loka murlocs who had just swam towards the bay to the entrance to the sea had also lifted their camouflage and restored their original Shahua murlocs, rushing ashore and cutting off the plank road that was originally built on the cliff. It also seized the temporary fortifications piled up with sandbags and wooden planks at the bay entrance platform that was empty due to the previous mobilization of troops.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers on the cliff began to shoot and throw bombs at these fish people. Unfortunately, because of the rugged mountains. So after a ping-pong-pong-pong meal, they found that most of these bullets and shells fell into the water. It didn't cause much damage to the Sahua murlocs who washed ashore in the first wave.

Only some of the Loka murlocs who had not had time to get ashore were killed and wounded by the fire.

However, these attacks also seemed to remind the Sahua murlocs. After consolidating their occupation area, the more than 1,000 murlocs drew out nearly two hundred Sahua murlocs who used various tools to resemble activation ropes. The first kind of magic began to climb all the way up the mountain, seeming to want to clear the defenders on the two cliffs to completely open the way from the open sea to the harbor.

"Sure enough, all of them are elite." Seeing those four-armed Sahua murloc nobles and some Sahua murlocs who were obviously extraordinary warriors climbed up the rope, Lawrence also sighed from his heart.

After all, these guys with webbed hands and feet are actually not very suitable for going ashore from various angles, let alone climbing the cliffs along the rope. But the guys below really relied on their physical fitness to quickly climb up to the top of the cliff.

It's a pity that this nearly vertical rock wall has too much advantage for the defensive side. Dozens of scavenger precision shooters arranged around set up a firepower net. Using those expensive magic rifles in hand with enchanted bullets, the Sahua people who had nowhere to hide in the air were hung by ropes and easily shot them down in midair.

At the same time, the six artillery pieces on the previously arranged cliffs also began to roar. A shell that fell into the sea blasted the Loka fish people who had not had time to land to pieces.

Although this group of Sahua people was frustrated in the battle at the entrance to the sea side of the bay, the operation to advance the coastline on the other side of the bay went smoothly. Because Lawrence transferred most of the troops stationed there before, this mixed murloc army only encountered obstacles when it walked to the exit of the entire harbor.

It was a horse-riding infantry regiment on the island that fought against it. Although it is known as a regiment, the regiment has only more than two hundred people due to the chaos in the colonies. Therefore, in the face of more than 10,000 murlocs, what you can do is try to protect yourself and delay time.

Fortunately, this cavalry is regarded as an elite force on the island, so everyone not only has a rifle and a revolver, the entire army is also equipped with four 60mm light mortars from the Bofors factory under Lawrence's command. More importantly, they knew Lawrence's plan in advance and had sufficient discipline to perform the task.

Therefore, after the food transport team left the road, they built a lot of fortifications under the cover of the resort buildings in the harbor, and buried a batch of explosives on the roadside.

Therefore, this line of defense, which is only 30 meters wide at the narrowest part of the road, was not captured in several assaults. Instead, their bodies covered the open space in front of the position. Even if only some Loka murloc cannon fodder rushed in the forefront of these assaults, the comparison of the number of disparity between the two sides suffices to show how brave and proficient this group of mounted infantry is.

However, as the Sahua murlocs, especially the extraordinary Sahua murlocs in the team, moved forward quickly, the battlefield situation immediately changed. Because those transcendents used stone-shaping scrolls to cast spells on both sides of the road, the stone walls on both sides of the entrance were changed, and the originally only 30-meter-wide passage suddenly expanded to 50 meters.

After seeing this scene, the officers who realized that they could not hold back immediately mounted their horses with the soldiers and rushed to the inland area. Before retreating, the leader of the team detonated all the remaining explosives in front of the position they had arranged before killing nearly a thousand fish people who had seen the mountain pass widened and lined up in dense formations.

"—Damn, chase!" The one who was commanding after seeing this scene was a four-armed Sahua murloc noble whose eyes were broken, because just now everyone thought it was the last blow, so many of the troops sent were elite Sahua Murloc.

As a result, the vanguard of this group of Sahua murlocs lost more than 300 in this big explosion, which is close to 1/5 of the number of Sahua murlocs who launched an attack into the depths of the island.

"Charge according to the original plan. You are not allowed to chase down those cavalry." Just when the fish crowd was going to follow the human cavalry who retreated along the side path of the main road, a sahua fish was the commander-in-chief of this operation. The voice of the priest rang in their ears.

"Your Excellency, we have lost this time--" After hearing these words, the four-armed Sahua murloc noble commanded as the forward turned his head and said with an expression of disbelief to the Sahua murloc priest who came from behind. Arrived, but before he could finish his words, he was slapped back by the Sahua murloc priest.

"Stupid, don't forget why we are here this time?" The murloc priest said with a strong pause on the cane in his hand.

"Do you think it is only your underlings' losses? All of us are losing. But if we can't seize the key points on this road as soon as possible to open the channel for the follow-up troops and block the continuous reinforcement of mankind, then what we are paying now All sacrifices made by him are meaningless."

"Also, I hope you can change your opinion and proceed as planned in the next action. Don't just think about retaining your strength. Otherwise, I don't mind changing a lord to the Zizao Ditch." The Chinese murloc priest stared angrily at the murloc aristocrat who had almost done something wrong~www.ltnovel.com~ and then walked forward with the large group.

It is a pity that this army did not go far after breaking through this key point and hit a stronger line of defense: the white eagle federal standard light infantry battalion that was transferred from the resort before was at the exit of this mountain road. Defensive positions were arranged everywhere.

Judging from the positions formed by a series of fortifications, such as trenches, fortifications, and barbed wire, this army is not the kind of army that rushes to fight in a hurry, but has been prepared in this place in advance.

After discovering this, the fish people's morale fell suddenly, because they didn't seem to have launched a successful raid now, but instead seemed to have fallen into a trap. But at this time, the sound of artillery shooting from the harbor stopped.

"The landing point is now controlled by us, and powerful reinforcements will be here soon. So we can win as long as we rush up." The Sahua murloc priest immediately waved his cane to boost morale. "Chong, don't be afraid of sacrifice. Our gods are watching us!"

Hearing what he said, the low morale of the fish people rose again. Then they formed a yellow crowd and rushed up against the intensive firepower of the human army ahead.
