Struggle in the Steam Age

Probably because of the existence of the trenches, a large number of severely wounded were evacuated among these wounded.

After all, when they stay in the trenches and shoot at each other with light weapons, they only need to expose the part above the chest. So once they are shot, the probability of hitting those deadly parts is greater.

Because Nora now needs to provide aerial reconnaissance, even Lawrence in the field hospital went off the field personally and started performing operations on the wounded.

This is because the difficulty of performing operations on these severely wounded people is not small, and only those experienced old doctors or extraordinary people with a low level of Lawrence can guarantee to save these wounded as much as possible.

In one operation after another emergency wound treatment, time passed. Soon, the sky slowly darkened. Oil lamps were also lit in the tent to illuminate these temporary operating rooms. It was also at this time that the scattered gunshots that had passed into the tent from outside just disappeared slowly.

"The skirmishers in front of the opponent's position are beginning to retreat to their main position."

The little doll with night vision ability, Nora, reported the enemy's whereabouts to Lawrence at this time, and at the same time communicated with the book charm in the command through the soul connection, and notified the command headquarters of everything she saw. .

"It seems that they want to attack on a large scale." After receiving the news from Nora, Lawrence immediately judged what the wilderness race wanted to do, and then sent a request to the little doll.

"Have you seen the location of the heavy weapons held by that group of wild races? I think if they want to attack now, they must have the support of those heavy weapons."

"Let me take a look." After listening to the task assigned by Lawrence, Nora violently climbed hundreds of meters, and then began to search the periphery of the battle line.

Fortunately, at night, the Harpy, one of the two major air forces in the Wilderness Race, was also unable to take off, so it is much easier to investigate now than during the day.

After rotating around the entire Pine Valley position and dispelling several groups of vampire bats trying to attack the troops below Pine Valley, Nora can basically see the surrounding situation.

According to her observation, there are 4 to 6 dwarven dragon cannons around the area being transported to the preset positions around Pine Valley.

"This group of wilderness races is building roads. At their speed, if nothing happens, the gray dwarves will let the artillery be in place at three or four in the morning."

Looking at the wilderness race corps who were cutting down trees overnight trying to clear a road and the short barrels that only exposed the holes, Nora quickly analyzed their goals.

After all, the gray dwarf's dragon cannon, as a standard magic artillery, fired not solid projectiles, but a kind of powerful magic flow.

Therefore, it has a trajectory almost as straight as a light cannon. Therefore, if you want to use the dragon cannon in mountainous areas, you must select the launch position, otherwise it is difficult to hit the target position.

There are not many places where dragon cannons can be arranged around Pine Valley, not to mention that the wilderness races, besides mobilizing manual road repairs, are also clearing various obstacles on the surface in many surrounding areas to prepare artillery positions.

Through aerial reconnaissance, the little doll found that the artillery positions were all hidden behind some short bushes, and even built some air defense concealment systems with various vines and trees.

It was through these temporary positions that were being built, Nora probably inferred how many artillery the opponent could use.

However, considering that there are more gun positions than artillery under normal circumstances, Nora is not clear about the specific number of the opponent's dragon guns, and can only give an approximate number based on her own guess.

But this number is much more accurate than the results of other scouts' inspections and detections, and it relies on the small doll's detection. The headquarters of Pine Valley quickly understood the specific situation on the front line and made corresponding preparations.

For example, the dwarf engineers accompanying the army can use the position and shape of the gun to calculate the direction of the guns of the evil cousins, and then infer the position of the opponent's next attack spearhead.

As for the wilderness race's failure to prevent Nora's investigation, it is also very simple, because they feel that their side has already occupied the air supremacy in the area, so the civilized race cannot go deep even if it has any air power.

But what they didn't expect was that Nora's eyesight as a puppet was much stronger than the naked eyes of most creatures, so as long as they climbed to a certain height, they could clearly see the army movements hidden behind various hidden objects.

Or from another point of view, the group of wild animals never thought that there would be an extraordinary person of Nora's level not in the more important front line or rear, but staying in this second-line hub.

So when formulating policies, only treat Nora as an expert or a master-level extraordinary person. After all, they inferred Nora's strength through the previous few battles, and the enemies that the little doll encountered before were all ordinary monsters or low-level transcendents, so she did not fight as hard as she could. Therefore, the misjudgment of the wilderness race is also very reasonable.

However, the absence of heavy weapons does not mean that the Wilderness Races will not attack. Just after the group of scouts who had cold-fired with the defenders of Pine Valley before withdrew, a lot of rustling footsteps appeared around Pine Valley and were emptied. The edge of the spacer.

Because of the shelter of a large number of plants and the fall of night, the defenders of Pine Valley had no idea how many enemies were hidden in the bushes tens of meters away.

Seeing the rustling movement hidden in the darkness of the vegetation, the flashing green eyes and the lingering sounds of the wild beasts from the bushes, the soldiers on the defense line of Pine Valley There was a commotion. Under such circumstances, the low-ranking officers and noncommissioned officers on the front line immediately noticed the commotion in the position and issued a response order.

"Reconnaissance shooting." A similar order came from these frontline commanders, and then the soldiers moved the connecting rod under the trigger, opened the chamber and inserted a bullet. Then he raised his rifle and looked carefully at the dark woodland opposite, and finally aimed at the target he had previously selected and pulled the trigger.

For an instant, the defensive position where the defenders of Pine Valley were located remembered the scattered gunfire. And after the gunshots sounded, those movements in the jungle suddenly became much smaller.

The effect is so immediate and very simple. It is because the light on the entire battlefield is very weak now, so the soldiers subconsciously shot the bullet shot in front of the place with the greatest movement, so they thought that they were very stealthy in the dark. Some of the safe wilderness races were shot directly on the street~www.ltnovel.com~ and after the scattered gunfire of this round of investigation ended, the movement in the opposite jungle suddenly became a lot smaller. . But ten minutes later, those movements rang again.

It's just that this time the opponent's movement seemed a lot smaller, and it sounded like it was hiding behind some obstacles to make movement.

"The Legion of the Wild Race is slowly gathering." Nara, who hid her figure and flew above the group of monsters silently, reported the current situation to Lawrence.

"But they are scattered across the front in the form of small teams, and it seems that they have no intention of launching an attack in a short time."

"That is to say, the other party is waiting for the heavy firepower to be in place." After Nara talked about the movement of the wilderness race troops, Lawrence suddenly guessed the most likely movement of the wilderness population.

Obviously, these wilderness populations are ready to wait until the heavy firepower is in place to launch a general attack to completely destroy the civilized race legion in Pine Valley. What they are doing now is just to harass the guards in this area as much as possible, so that they can gain more advantages in subsequent attacks.
