Chapter 589: Fighting in the Nirya Mountains (Middle Bottom)
Everything has the principle of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint, just like those rattan armor soldiers from the Southern Barbarians in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although the rattan armor on their bodies can be described as invulnerable, but in the end, they were not subdued by the power of nature such as fire? And the same is true of the so-called snakeskin armor of the snake warriors.
Although these extremely tough snakeskin armor can withstand the blade and blade, but the thickness of the snakeskin armor is not even 2 mm, which is destined to be impossible to alleviate the blunt injuries attached to the war hammer, and there is no absolutely strong defense in the world, although the snakeskin armor can resist the blade and blade, but the snakeskin armor is not all able to resist, to the samurai blade blade in the hands of the Xiyi warriors who support the English foot knights, this kind of war knife that can create the power of green steel knife-level weapons in the hands of the Xiyi warriors without relying on patterned steel, It's not something that snakeskin armor can resist.
"I see, what the snake people are afraid of is the damage led by blunt weapons, no wonder the snake people tribe has not dared to invade the Nirya Mountains for so many years, it turns out that the main reason is because there is such an existence as the Watt War Hammer Soldier in the Water Qilin Imperial Army." Looking at the seemingly terrifying snake warriors being beaten under the flat push attack of the English foot knights, Leo muttered alone, "But now they have to add one more thing to fear." ”
"Soldiers! If these abominable serpents dare to use such despicable means against us, let them feel the wrath of God that the heathen must endure! Greek Pyro, no need to keep any Greek fire! Burn all these snake men to death for me, and set this cave on fire with blazing fire! ”
After Leo's order, the Sunset soldiers, still clad in the early heavy armor: heavy chain mail and Latin-style helmets, carrying Greek flamethrowers with wooden handles and steel heads, entered the mouth of the cave under the cover of layers of Sunset soldiers, while the snake warriors who had been pushed into the cave by the English foot knights regrouped. Once again, they rushed out of the cave to continue to attract the attention of the soldiers who could smash themselves to the ground, so as to buy time for their comrades who were attacking the camp from outside, but this time, when they came out of the cave and were hit by the first rays of sunlight in the surface world, they were no longer faced with humans holding embroidery needles and small pieces of iron, let alone those iron cans that could smash themselves to the ground, but Greek fire throwers with dark head spouts and cold lights flashing on the edges.
"Burn heretics!" Orange pillars of fire flew out of the vent one by one, and the snake warriors closest to the vent felt like they had been melted almost instantly, letting out a heart-rending scream, and the snake warriors behind them were not much better. Because Greek fire has strong adhesion, and Greek fire throwers also give Greek fire strong penetration and sputtering. Therefore, under the spray of hundreds of Greek fire throwers, the hundreds of snake warriors who rushed up in a super dense formation all turned into scorched corpses in less than 5 seconds, and the Greek fire sparks that sputtered out continued to ignite the hundreds of snake warriors who were in a burning state and were still at a loss for what to do.
And for the situation in front of them, these Greek Pyros who have already burned thousands, tens of thousands of lives with Greek firethrowers. Completely immune to the chilling screams they heard, there was only one thing they knew now. That is, immediately run to the wings. Get out of the way where you were standing before, and let your comrades who belong to the same class stand in your place.
"Burn them" In less than 10 seconds, the Greek Pyros standing in the second row had already taken over the position of the first row of Greek Pyros before, and then under the command of the same commander of the rank of Commander Sunset, he used the Greek flamethrower in his hand to spray the Greek flamethrower into the cave, and the third and fourth rows were knotted.........
In less than 1 minute. Nearly 1,000 Greek Pyros shot six rounds of Greek fire enough to ignite a city into the cave, which was less than 50 meters wide and only more than 10 meters high. And looking at the fire inside the cave that cannot be extinguished for at least 1 day, whether it is the soldiers around the cave. Leo, who was still standing on the edge of the wooden wall of the camp, after hearing the heart-rending screams and asking about the scorching smell in the air, knew that the snake soldiers who raided the inside of the camp were finished, completely finished.
"It's finally quiet behind the scenes." Leo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a herald running towards him before he could report to him, "Have you done everything I asked you to tell you before?" ”
"Yes, Lord Leo, several commanders of the Sunset Legion have already arrived on your side, and as for the baggage arrangement, since our soldiers have just been stationed here before, many things are in an undismantled state, in this case, if we abandon some of the tents, then we can now be considered to have been sorted out, and we can set off at any time at your instructions."
"Tell them to speed up the tidying up, huh......... I'll give them another 10 minutes. ”
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! Just after the herald turned to leave, several captains of the Sunset Legion who accompanied Leo on the expedition to the snake tribe had also come to Leo, and because the situation was urgent at this time, Leo also had no nonsense, directly greeted everyone and opened the sketchy topographic map of the Nirya Mountains on his body, and said to everyone: "Okay, since they are all here, then I won't talk nonsense, everyone will take a look at this topographic map in my hand."
"If I'm not mistaken, because we've smashed the conspiracy of the snake tribes, I guess they'll activate the backup plan they might have prepared: set up an ambush on the way we came to ambush our troops. When you came here before, you should have known that there is a V-shaped valley in the road we passed, if we are ambushed there, no matter whether the result is good or bad, the premise of our army will be completely annihilated, so we now have no way to retreat only the way forward, and now there are a total of 3 mountain roads in front of us in the swamps of the Western Regions of the Central Continent in the snake people's activity area, after consideration, I don't think we should go alone, because we are not very familiar with the next road, Even if we have cavalry troops that never fall into the sky, we must break through from these three roads in 3 parts. Because in this case, the strength of the snake tribe is very likely to be dispersed, and in this case, due to terrain factors, it is very likely that our side will break these pursuers one by one, and then eat them and turn back and reunite, and destroy the main force of the snake tribe that is estimated to have gone to that V-shaped valley. ”
"But what if the snake tribe only besieges one army?" A commander of the Sun Never Sets Legion raised the doubts in his heart: "Judging from the actions of the Snake People Tribe this time, it is very likely that the Snake People Tribe is more familiar with the terrain of the Nirya Mountains than on our side, if they use those caves along with the entire Nirya Mountains to defeat our 3 Route troops one by one, then won't we also face a crushing defeat?" ”
"I can deny that this is happening, Your Excellency Commander Osko." As he spoke, Leo said with a wry smile on his face: "I really don't know if we should say that we are lucky or unlucky, in fact, the Griffin Knights have been interested in the caves farther away from the surrounding area, especially those on the three roads that our side is about to advance, and the final result shows that only the caves on one road can be connected to the interior of the mountain range, and there are no caves on the other two roads." ”
"That's not right! In that case, why do we need to break through in 3 ways, and we can break through in 2 ways directly! ”
"But in that case, the snake people's reinforcements will most likely catch up with us." Leo said with a serious face: "The so-called abandoned son is like this, just like when the situation is irreparable, in order to maintain the strength of the palace, we must leave a part of the force behind, we need a force to attract the attention of the snake people's troops, so that the snake people tribe thinks that instead of comprehensively pursuing the 3 broken through the sunset troops, it is better to directly pursue a force that can be eliminated by themselves, and in this way, even if the main force of the snake people army comes back much faster than I expected, then this main force will only be attracted by this force, It will not be separated, and only then will it be highly likely that our soldiers will encircle it. ”
"Your Excellency, Commander! Leave this force to me! I'll complete the task of attracting the attention of the snake troops! ”
"I'm still here, Your Excellency Commander Leo, I'm the best at mountain warfare among all the people present!"
"No, this force must be led by me!" Leo said earnestly, word by word: "Because among all the people present, only me and my Shuai Qi have the ability to attract all these snake warriors, so this force must be led by me personally...... And the reason I called you here is simply to prepare you to fight back, and to tell you that you must escort your baggage troops to a safe area before you can fight back. ”
"This ........." In response to Leo's request, all the officers present showed an ugly look on their faces, and Leo looked serious and said in a cautious tone: "I know what everyone should beware of, after all, the army cannot be without a commander for a day, but I must do this for the sake of victory, so, please everyone, please wish me a hand!" ”
"Understood, commanders, we will not disappoint your expectations!"
"Then, let's start executing this battle plan!" (To be continued.) )
