Chapter 374

Behind the trench line was the area of langyabao, where the imperial army had stored innumerable supplies.

The arc-shaped moat line, facing the wilderness in the west, blocked the way of Highlanders to the reservoir area.

The highland wolves, like the tide, roared from the West.

The front of the pack, as Joe saw alone, was more than five miles wide.

As for the number of wolves, Joe can't see where the end of the pack is.

There was a sharp whistle coming from the wolves. The wild highlanders roared and cursed in the highland dialect. The gray, yellow and green wolves were surging up and down. The wolf howled incessantly and rushed over from miles and miles without stopping.

Without any adjustment, without any arrangement, when these highlanders and their wolves appeared in sight, they launched a direct, resolute charge.

"So fierce?" Joe exclaimed in horror.

"That's it, because they've never suffered a loss." Gorkin stood next to Joe, gazing through a pair of binoculars at the enemy's movements, and hastily explained why the Highlanders were so arrogant.

Wolves give highlanders an almost unexplained advantage on the battlefield.

Highland wolves, the blood of wolf king wall, are the most common giant wolves. When they grow up, they have the power to open up the sea of strength. With a single paw, they can hit thousands of pounds.

A little better bloodline of the giant wolf, they are equivalent to the first, second, or even third-order extraordinary combat power.

Unlike the human kingdom, which requires a lot of resources and time to cultivate extraordinary soldiers, these plateau wolves can grow up in two or three years as long as they eat, drink, play and have fun.

And their fecundity is much stronger than that of human beings.

In the age of cold weapons, when powerful wolves roared, it was hard for medland to have an army to withstand the impact of wolves.

With the change of times and the progress of science and technology, medland has entered the era of thermal weapons. The original firerope guns and solid ammunition cannons can only increase the casualties of wolves, and it is difficult to crush the wolves.

Even in the age of flint rifles and firecrackers, the incessant attack of wolves is an unbearable nightmare for any human country.

For hundreds of years, the Highlanders' wolves have not been really defeated.

If it wasn't for the logistics, if it wasn't for the size of the wolves, if it wasn't for the conflicts and contradictions between the tribes of the Highlanders, the territory that the Highlanders now control is definitely more than that.

In 1379, the reason why the German Empire's counterattack against the Lanin corridor made the Principality of wolf retreat one after another because of the soaring national strength of the Empire, the use of massive artillery and flint rifles, and the absolute firepower advantage in the battlefield; the other was that the national strength of the German Empire soared, and a lot of extraordinary combat power was accumulated in the front line!

The third reason is the contradiction between the wolf and the wolf itself.

Wolf Kingdom wants to stand on its own and get rid of the control of the highlands Durham Empire took advantage of the attack, and the gray Wolf Kingdom was severely beaten, but failed to get substantial support from the Highlanders.

"But now, the grey wolf principality has lost a lot of territory, and the most important wolf tooth castle has been beaten down." "They have completely lost their qualification to negotiate terms with Highlands," gorkin said slowly. "The Highlanders are not only their tradition, but also the best opportunity."

"Your Majesty, the queen of plateau people, no longer needs a puppet principality She, and they, want to go straight out. " Gorkin said coldly: "their winter offensive is not only to recover the territory lost by the Wolf Kingdom, but also to gain more!"

Joe looked at the approaching wolves and asked gorkin in a deep voice, "why winter? My fingers are freezing in this cold weather

Gorkin smiles and slaps Joe on the head: "it should be winter. These animals can move freely in winter, and our soldiers' combat effectiveness is reduced by at least half in this weather. So, this should be winter."

After pondering for a moment, gorkin shook his head: "it must also be winter The Highlanders used to be very poor. In winter, let alone wolves, they would starve to death. It must be winter to launch a winter offensive, plunder food and wealth, and let them survive the most terrible cold weather in the following months, and eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled wolves and retain the strongest and most powerful seeds. This must be winter. "

"It can only be winter." Gorkin sighed: "in winter, the countries on the mainland are the fattest prey. Autumn harvest, all into the granary. The people of all walks of life are about to celebrate the new year, when they have the most property on hand and the most abundant materials at home. "

With a sneer, gorkin said coldly: "even at this time when a surprise attack is launched, the blood and flesh of the people of the Empire are the most beautiful. The wolves are happy to eat!"

Joe's eyes widened and his face jerked violently.

Yes, winter The people of Northern Xinjiang want to live in winter. To put it bluntly, it's freezing and snowing all over the place. Everyone has nothing to do but eat, drink, and nothing else.Fat.

This is fertilizer in the real physical sense.

In the past month or so, the people of the Empire have been replenished with a lot of meat and fat, but they have not been active. The average weight of all people will be more than ten pounds, or even twenty or thirty pounds.

For wolves

Fat people, fat prey.

This is real cannibalism!

The threat of Highlanders to the mainland countries adjacent to the Highlands is not only to occupy territory, plunder people and plunder wealth They also use people to feed the wolves!

"No wonder highlanders are notorious, and even the church defines them as heretics." Joe murmured to himself.

"Joe, the church doesn't define them as heretics because they eat people with wolves." Wilkin laughs strangely: "they are heretics, only because they worship wolf king wall and despise Mu and muteste, so they become heretics."

Joe froze and shrugged his shoulders.

The wolves were approaching rapidly. In a short time of more than a dozen words from Joe and gorkin, the wolves had approached a place less than a mile away from the line of defense.

In the rear, there was a clear bugle.

"Diddidi ~ didi ~"!

More than a dozen high-rise sentry towers in the rear, more heralds quickly waving red flags.

"Attention Gorkin raised his right hand and clenched his fist: "follow orders!"

Joe could have held his breath, his eyes widened, and his eyes were covered with a pale crimson. His pupils are constantly enlarging and shrinking. His eyes scan the endless wolves in front of him and the faces of grinning highlanders.

He saw the broken tooth and saw the wolf bandits around him.

He saw the leaders of hundreds of wolf bandit gangs who rushed in the front, as well as those vicious wolf bandits backbone.

He could see the furry, ferocious faces of the wolves with their long tongues and salivating mouth.

A thousand feet behind the trench line, thousands of old guns roared.

The old guns of 100, 80, and 60 milli calibre spewed out a series of angry flames. More than a thousand shells swirled and pulled out graceful arcs. They crossed more than a mile and plunged into the wolves in front of them.

Boom, boom, boom!

The old-fashioned flowering bombs filled with black powder exploded constantly among the wolves, and black smoke rose rapidly from the snow-white land.

In the light of the fire, two or three wolves were blown up in the air near each black smoke.

The shrill cry of pain came, large pieces of shell fragments splashed, hundreds of wolf bandits were hit by shrapnel, and fell from the wolf's back with blood.

In the fire and blood fog rolling, there were stumps and broken arms flying.

Thousands of old-fashioned cannonballs have only opened up a thousand tiny blank areas among the wolves. As soon as the wolves surge, the vacancy disappears, as if the shelling just now did not produce any effect.

Salean mobilized a large number of artillery and set up three columns of old-fashioned artillery behind the line of defense.

The first train was launched by thousands of guns, followed by the second, third Then, the first line of guns loaded, also issued a crazy roar.

The cannonball exploded in the wolves and exploded wildly,

one of the wolves was blasted into the sky with a howl, and after landing, it rolled and disappeared. The endless wolves continued to rush forward, filling in the gaps hit by the shells easily.

There was a strange roar.

Dozens of mortar guns with a calibre of more than 200 millimetres erupted in a small forest two thousand feet behind the line of defense. They struggled to get up into the air, then headed for the wolves below.

The earth is shaking, a huge black plume of smoke rolled up countless snow, soil rushed up into the sky.

The killing power of the large caliber mortar gun is much stronger than that of the field artillery. Every time the Cannon Falls, a dozen or even dozens of wolves are blown to pieces. At the place where the shock wave swept, the wolf bandits howled and spat blood from the wolf's back.

The broken tooth lowered his head and hissed and screamed, "go, go Ha ha, as long as we rush into their line, the imperial pig will let us slaughter! "

The wolves are getting closer and closer.

A mile Half a mile Two thousand feet 1500 feet A thousand feet

A wolf bandit with an old-fashioned firerope gun screamed: "be careful Close to 400 feet, they're going to have a wave of shooting They only get one shot! Ha ha ha, whoever is in bad luck will die! "

No matter the old-fashioned firerope gun or the new-style flint rifle, their effective range is three or four hundred feet, and their precise range is no more than 100 feet.

Whether the old-fashioned firerope gun or the new-style flint rifle, they only have one shot in the face of high-speed charging wolves. The distance of 400 feet, 120 meters in metric system, is just a few breathing time for the wolves, and they will rush to the front if there is no time to load them again."Prepare Kill Broken teeth crazy waving machete, will be close to the body of the wolf's back.
