Struggle in the Steam Age

For the wilderness race troops currently hiding in the vicinity of Pine Valley, their main task is to harass the guards in Pine Valley as much as possible before launching the general offensive.

However, considering the advantages of the artillery of the civilized race, these forces can only be dispersed as much as possible to avoid being overwhelmed with artillery by the defenders.

From another perspective, the army of the wilderness race also has certain risks in doing so, because such a scattered arrangement is difficult to stop the opponent's attack.

If the defenders of Pine Valley watched this opportunity to launch a counterattack, these small groups scattered in various places would naturally find it difficult for the troops to resist the assaults launched by the civilized races, and they might be destroyed by a single blow.

What they didn't know was that the defenders of Pine Valley did have such a plan.

Even after entering the night, Nora was able to continuously inform the headquarters of the specific locations of the army of the wilderness races, so when the headquarters began, they asked whether they would use this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

But after a few brief discussions, the officers present gave up this tactic. Because they soon thought that with the quality of the defenders of Pine Valley and almost zero visual ability, letting them go into the jungle a little bit is no different from sending them to death.

And if only to enter the outskirts of the mountain forest, now this style of shooting through a clearing is enough.

Even out of the idea of ​​preparing for a decisive battle later, Nora's original plan to direct the artillery to indirectly target and shoot the nodes of the wilderness races was rejected.

Because at this time, once the artillery is under the command of Nora to accurately strike the gathering points of the wild races, the command team is worried that the other party will realize this problem and find a solution later. So decided to save this skill to use in the early morning decisive battle.

However, because of Nora, the defenders of Pine Valley were able to receive timely warning. Under this circumstance, the defenders in the fortifications and trenches on the front line can naturally choose to take advantage of the enemy's bravado to let those soldiers take a shift to rest to avoid being exhausted before the decisive battle breaks out.

"It seems that our plan has been implemented very well." Just behind the clamoring wolves and goblins forces ahead, a female dark elf raised her hand a carved brass telescope made by a gray dwarf and looked towards the position of the defenders of Pine Valley. Said.

Because humans built trenches and bunkers to obscure the line of sight, she could not see that most of the defenders were resting.

Therefore, after hearing the scattered but continuous gunfire from the front line, I naturally thought that the harassment plan formulated before had been successful.

"It does look like this," said another gray dwarf who was standing not far from her and also holding a telescope.

In the eyes of this dwarf, it is obvious that the legion of civilized races can only stay on the defensive line and endure the harassment of their own army but cannot fight back. If this situation continues for several hours, it will inevitably greatly weaken the strength of the defense line.

"The first step is now basically in accordance with the previously scheduled plan." After putting down the telescope in his hand, the dark elf lowered his head and said to the gray dwarf.

"But those defensive lines are obviously not something we can easily cross, so we need to see your artillery next, and hope that you won't fail us in the end because of your gray dwarves."

"Rest assured, we will not fail. On the contrary, you sprouts need to worry about whether your commandos can enter after we open a gap." The gray dwarf said categorically.

Although it was said that the gray dwarf and the feud and the dark elves were allowed to cooperate because of the gods, neither of them was convinced. Therefore, even if both sides find opportunities on the front lines of this kind of war, they must despise each other.

Time passed slowly during the confrontation between the two sides. During this time, although both sides seemed to be very dynamic, the casualties in the battle were not large because the two sides basically couldn't see the other side.

Especially under Nora's continuous investigation, the defender, who should have been more tired, took advantage of this time to regenerate.

Finally towards 4 in the morning, the sound of the shooting gradually calmed down. At first glance, it seemed that the wilderness race could not bear it and was ready to retreat after tossing for a long time.

But at this time, Nora, who was patrolling the sky as before, saw something extra, and then issued an alarm to the Pine Valley Headquarters.

"The other party's artillery has entered the previously constructed launch position." Nora's report appeared in Lawrence's mind and on the paper in front of the command Shumei.

"It can now be determined that the enemy's heavy weapons are six dragon cannons belonging to the gray dwarves. At the same time, a varying number of dark elf ballistas have been arranged near the dragon cannons."

"In addition, the Wilderness Race except for the front-line troops that are in direct contact with our front. Most of the remaining troops are gathering at several points. According to their current speed, if there is no accident, the opponent will Complete the team and launch an offense within 20 minutes."

"What should we do next?" As the supreme commander of Pine Valley Transit Station, Colonel Taylor asked the officers under his opponent in the tent of the command headquarters.

Because it was only a transit station before, the ability to coordinate the transfer of various materials was mainly considered when selecting the commander of the region. Therefore, the colonel seemed a little flustered when facing a full-scale offensive from the wilderness race but unable to summon reinforcements for a while.

Fortunately, he was flustered, but his heart was still full of courage. So after the initial panic ended, he quickly gathered the officers under him to formulate a combat plan through discussion.

Fortunately, many of the officers stationed in this area are front-line officers with rich experience, so these officers quickly put all the armed forces in the valley into a state of preparation.

After getting the real-time situation reported by Nora now, these officers still had a short and intense discussion, and then made a decision.

"I think we should launch an attack immediately, using artillery to preempt the enemy while the enemy is not yet ready for a full offensive." After the discussion was over, Major Louis stood up and spoke out the results of the discussion.

"Is this the result of your discussion?" Colonel Taylor glanced at the officers sitting on both sides of the table and received a definite answer. He nodded with a firm face.

"If this is the case, please contact the artillery position and fire, but before that ~www.ltnovel.com~ we will first pass the data provided to us by the figure of Colonel August to the artillery position."

A few minutes later, a large amount of data was transmitted to every artillery position. Then these artillery positions began to adjust the parameters of their artillery to aim at the target. When all the guns were adjusted, Colonel Louis who got this information raised the flare gun and walked out of the tent, then raised the gun to the sky and pulled the trigger.

Three but bullets flew out from the signal muzzle, and then exploded violently when they reached a height of more than 30 meters, causing the blood-red light to cover the entire Pine Valley and surrounding areas, dyeing everything. red.

After seeing this signal, the artillery positions located in various places in Pine Valley quickly started firing artillery shells at the fastest speed.

According to the plan, these artillery will use the artillery positions of the wilderness races and the gathering points of multiple elite races as the main attack direction. Especially the place where the six fire dragon cannons are located has received special care. After a few seconds, dozens of flames emerged from the forest.

"1, 2, 3, 4-the first batch of shells all hit." Just after the first round of artillery shots ended, Nora immediately passed back the statistics of the first round of artillery landing.
