Vol 4 Chapter 24: Broken Ridge One

Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, update the latest chapter of City Warlock as soon as possible!
The pace of war is never shifted by personal will.
Just when there were still people in the bronze fortress behind that speculating on herbs and raising prices; some were digging the corners of the empire to get their hands up and down; some were caught in the gentle township, and they only knew Qingqing and me every day, and I did n’t know where my homeland was-four days before the front line of Broken Ridge It has officially joined the enemy!
Thousands of people are dying! Those soldiers will not even have the opportunity to retreat.
However, every general is well aware that the attack and defense of the bronze fortress is not just a defense of the city walls, but a whole set of combat system that runs around the fortress!
You have to understand that this is a war in which 200,000 humans are mobilized and there are millions of demons-it has trench warfare! There is position battle! There is an encounter! There is a sniper battle! There is annihilation!
It also has night battles! There is a surprise! There is an ambush! There is raid! There are dead guards!
The bronze fortress is only the strongest supporting point of the whole war, and it is also the part that only appeared when the war reached its climax. The goal of the empire is to kill 100,000 demons on this battlefield! In order to reduce the number of demons, we can guarantee the basic tranquility of the southern border for five or ten years!
It doesn't make much sense to simply repel an attack!
In terms of cost, the materials consumed by the battle of the city for a hundred years are dozens of times that of the materials exploded in the ten major wars! This is also an affordable way for the empire, otherwise the country will go bankrupt.
Moreover, the city walls with an average drop of less than fifty meters are not particularly high for demons. It is strong enough, but do n’t take that wall as an insurmountable sky!
Among the demons, in addition to the endless number of demons, there are spider demons who can drill the ground and climb the wall; there are mad demon and warlord demon who can jump directly on the city wall; there are trolls that can throw the boulder on the wall; There are high-level demons that can be transported at will; there are also small demons that can fly short distances and overwhelming demons of pterosaurs ... The types of demons are strange, and although their attack is a swarm of bees, it is a three-dimensional attack carried out simultaneously by the sky and the ground.
When thousands of demon ants attached to the wall, the spider demon quickly climbed up the wall, and then the sky suddenly flew a large number of demons to attack the city ... The consequences are absolutely fatal!
At this time, the advantages of the vast battlefield are highlighted.
The human army can use slow tactics and a perfect command system to first delay and classify the demons that flow like tides-find and prioritize the destruction of a certain demonic species; delay the ground forces, so that the devil ’s "air force" is not available. With the cooperation of the ground troops, attacking the city head alone is a masterpiece of the imperial commander!
All along, the devil's simple and rough command system is their biggest weakness.
And those solitary forces go deep, desperate to destroy the spider demon; those responsible for sniper army of devil ... are destined not to return.
So, to reduce the whole war into a simple battle of defending the city, it is just Xiaobai ’s idea of ​​war-Xiaobai always thinks about fewer dead people, but in the eyes of a marshal, if he dies a soldier and consumes 100 gold coins, he will Choose the former without hesitation. Because the empire can kill 100,000 soldiers, but it can't really pull out 10 million gold coins!
Don't look at Felix Constance without hesitation to take 1 million gold coins from the treasury ... he was already ready to treason, that is almost the last reserve of the fortress. Therefore, at that time, the two imperial borers completed the transaction silently, and there was no bargaining process at all.

Broken Ridge, Desperate Forest, Heipo, Molu Cliff ...
The series of unknown names marked on the map at the end of the shovel-shaped plain is the truest portrayal of the Hundred Years' War. There is no pretense of "I come, I see, I conquer", and there is no stupid head of "Masters, I like war".
On the battlefield, no one likes war.
Heipo, in a trench with half a gully, now there are twenty soldiers remaining ... scarred and numb. They dragged the corpses like walking dead, strengthening the fortifications.
A day ago, there was a corps of four hundred people stationed here.
Human corpses and spider demon corpses were pushed next to the gully for heightening. This is a truncated short trench. In the past, the waist-high trench was not visible in the trenches. Three hundred and eighty soldiers and the same number of spider demon corpses were left here.
This is a gully battle without rifle shooting-the tree is cut into two ends and inserted into the ground, and then the pig blood is dripped in the trench, which becomes a simple and effective spider demon trap. Spiders are tempted by the smell. When they walk underground, they will hit the sharp wood, then jump out and be killed by the legion! Of course, this is just the most ideal situation ... In fact, the legion itself is a bait.
This is a question of prey and hunter who kills first.
Spider demons can walk on vertical walls, and their sprawling claws are the source of fear for recruits. Although they are powerful, they still have human form, which is not so scary. But the huge spider with a height of two meters, a furry arthropod, and a greasy appearance are even more terrifying than a nightmare! They will deal a fatal blow to the morale of recruits!
Therefore, they are the priority targets of the Legion, and only veterans can do this kind of work ...
Ever since it was known that the pioneer of this magic wave was a demon spider, such "spider traps" were all over Heipo and the desperate woods, locking the exit of Broken Ridge.
"Who can find grease? Can anyone find grease?" A bearded man squatted on the pile of corpses, and half of his face was caught by a spider! The bristles on his paws made his face look like he was brushed with a wire brush, and the blood was stained everywhere, and he could not see his original face at all.
The soldier crouching in the trench was silent, and no one answered his question. He also seemed to know that it would be like this, spitting blood in his mouth and looking at the corpses piled up in the mountains with anxiety. Do? "
The body can't be burned directly, especially the spider demon is full of disgusting liquid. Originally they carried a lot of kerosene, but it was a pity that they all used up in the previous battle! The fire spider works well ...
Everyone knows that if you leave it alone, the human body will be resurrected by the demon into a demon ...
Even if minced, it is useless, the corpse will become the military food of the subsequent demons. Those disgusting guys eat everything, carrion, corpses, animals and plants ... when they don't eat, they eat the bottom devil. In short, the demon rushing to the ground has no concept of logistics.
But the most important thing is not this ... This is a world with gods and beliefs. It takes seven days for the human soul to leave the body and then go to the kingdom of God. If they are resurrected as demons, they will completely lose their qualification to go to the kingdom of God. It's okay to mince ... But anyone who has blasphemed the body can't go to the Kingdom of God!
"Going to the Kingdom of God after death" is now the last thought of these people.
"Wait ... meet the demon." Finally, some soldiers said something, so that here is no longer so silent. "The devil's body is different from other demons. They are like dried meat that has been squeezed out of water. I've burned it and burned it like firewood. Kill a few demon, we can use them as firewood! "
Of course, deliberately don't think about the transformation of those devils as humans.
"Magic? Good idea, I hope we won't encounter it before meeting the demon ..." The squad commander spit out blood again and grabbed the big sword next to him to stand up. "Ready to fight! It's ... What a demon! A lot of demon!"
They thought about the demon, and then the demon appeared ...
It's a pity that it's not a small team, but a lot of mountains and wild demon!

"Into the trenches! Into the trenches!" The team commander shouted loudly, even if he is not experienced, it can be seen that fighting on the flat ground, 20 people may not be able to stop even a demon charge! You can stick to the trenches for a little longer. In fact, without his command, the remaining soldiers spontaneously lined up in the trench, holding a spear into a spear formation. The injured leg rests on others, and the injured arm supports the end of the spear at the bottom of the pit!
Even if there were only soldiers who were either injured or disabled, the spear array was still awe-inspiring.
Seeing the front position, the demon stopped after hesitation. This is not because the demons have the emotion of fear, but their fighting habits ... When they encounter positions, they will first pile up a sufficient number and then rush up in one breath!
Although the tactics are not clever, they rely on this tactic to solve most problems.
The soldiers in the trenches also knew this.
On a dividing line, the two sides paused strangely. On one side is a solitary 20-person spear array, on the other side there are more and more demon ... 100, 200, 300 ... Gradually the entire hill has been covered with copper-colored devil!
The squad commander gritted his teeth and held the spear in his hand. He felt the comrades around him tremble slightly ... he too.
How many seconds can I live? Can you survive the first wave of charge?
"Roar!" A tall demon suddenly began to howl! Then the gathered demons bowed their heads toward the position, raised their arms, and started running!
coming!
"Depress the spear!"
"Roar!"
Seeing that the demon was about to collide with the spear array fiercely, "Boom!" With a loud noise, a huge orange fireball suddenly exploded in the demon crowd! Then another fireball flew in to cover the rest of the devil!
The sound of the explosion shakes the mountain! The air waves rolled up by the fireball blew over the trench, and the soldiers of the spears could not help but bow their heads and hide in the trench!
When they looked up again, they saw a mage wearing a gray robe, riding a four-legged horse that had never been seen, and ran from the distance to the battlefield-around him, countless burning The devil ... as if purgatory came to earth.
Someone is right, the devil is really easy to be ignited.
"It's you?" The team commander said silently when he saw the wizard's face.
Shen Yan turned her head and looked at the blood-stained man a bit familiarly. He thought about it for a while, "Are you the captain of the bearded man catching the deserter?"
The squad commander smiled and shook his head bitterly, remembering the joke that the person in front of him said to him.
"The captain is dead. I am ... acne."
