MTL - Heart of Empire-Chapter 532 Battle of Emhal

It seems that there is still a lot of troops that the Kingdom of Hindler can mobilize, but these troops, in fact, Dyne dare not send out at will.

The reason is very simple. Now the Longfeng defense line, the direction of Florence, and the battlefields on both sides are in a strategic defensive state. Of course, the troops are adequate, the kingdom ’s response is decent, and the defense system is relatively solid, but the war is full of surprises. Now the kingdom's defensive forces in two directions are just enough to carry the onslaught of the undead. Who knows if there is any special situation that will cause the defense to run out of control?

Dane's preparatory power seems to be sufficient, but it is useful. Beware of problems that may occur in the west and northeast of the kingdom.

What's more, he can't let his kingdom defend like this forever. When the kingdom calms down from the enemy's attack, or more troops are added to the legion, Dane is bound to launch a counterattack to completely solve the problems brought by the cursed church.

Under such circumstances, how could he mobilize his precious army to other places and help others to defend his country?

He had made up his mind to reject the Pudri's request. Of course, a factual rejection does not mean that you must also reject it verbally. After all, the proposal given by Queen Susan Bella is quite tempting.

So Dynes thought about it, and planned to send an army over—three wing guards.

This is also five thousand people!

After receiving the order of Her Majesty Dyne, the Ministry of Military Affairs appointed a first batch of graduates of the Military Department of Hindler University and a human officer named Kuras who had a good evaluation in all aspects of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Lead this unit.

Kuras himself now has the rank of Colonel. Under this opportunity of independent leadership, he got the opportunity to be promoted quickly. Not long before he was raised to the rank of Colonel, he was immediately promoted to Brigadier General.

Leading an army, without a general, how to mix in Pudri?

For Pudri, of course, what they are looking forward to is not a young general. Even if they come with a garrison to help out, it is even support. However, Dane made it clear that Hindler was under great pressure. The only power he could extract was that there were only a few people, and there were many additional conditions for sending this support force.

In a word, you want to do it yourself.

What can Pudri do? They could only recognize it by pinching their noses.

It can also be seen from this that Queen Susan Bella really has no bottom line for asking everywhere for help. A second-line army of 5,000 people can exchange a lot of money for Hindler.

And just when the negotiations with the Pudris were just over here, the situation in the northeast has made new progress.

...

On July 25, a week has passed since the undead army began to attack the Emhar region, and the fighting situation has changed from the beginning.

Under the persevering offensive of the undead army, Emhal's external defense zone has been completely breached.

In the outer mountains of Emhar, the bunkers and outposts established by the dwarves had all fallen.

This is not the same as the Mukken patriarch of the Thunder Dwarf had expected. Originally, he felt that the external defense zone should be able to stand for more than a month.

In fact, in the early part of the war, Patriarch Mulken did not expect much of a problem.

Those bunkers and outposts are really hard to fight. For a medium-sized bunker stationed by twenty or thirty people, the undead must invest at least 20 times more troops, continuously attack, and pay hundreds of deadly souls. It took more than two days to defeat the bunker. Moreover, often the defender will not have too many casualties. Seeing that nothing can be done, the dwarf and human soldiers will withdraw from the tunnel and then blow up the tunnel to death.

This has been the case for the first four days. The dwarf's outer defense area is lined with more than forty bunkers. This is the fruit of the hard work of the dwarves for more than half a year and almost a year. In four days, the undead exhausted their efforts and pulled out only five blockhouses.

In the last three days, things have changed. The rate at which the outer bunkers were captured suddenly increased. Only five bunkers were lost in the first four days, and twelve or three in the next three days.

The reason for this change is mainly because the undead wizards, as well as some of the Lich, went to battle in person.

The dwarven bunker's defensive ability is indeed very outstanding, which inherits the character of this ethnic hill. However, facing the enemy's frontal offensive, the bunker appears very strong, and it is not so strong when facing magic.

Especially the magic mastered by the necromancers and the liches is very strange.

When the cursing force erodes the rock, making it fragile, when powerful dark spells bombard the rock, when the green plague gas is blown into the bunker under the effect of wind making, it is stationed The dwarves and human soldiers in the bunkers could not continue to hold on.

Of course, in subsequent battles, Muken can further send dwarven rune mages and human mages to fight against the evil wizards of the black wizards and the lich. Too wise, this will weaken Emhar's own spell power which is not too abundant.

As a result, Patriarch Mulken simply ordered the abandonment of the outer defense zone.

After some symbolic resistance, Emhal's defensive forces, all turtles retracted into the dwarf city's huge and sturdy gates, giving way to the undead.

On July 29, the undead finally passed through the rugged mountains and hit the gate of Emhal.

Tens of thousands of dead souls gathered on the vast platform in front of Mount Emhal, and it was really spectacular.

Spectacular and disgusting.

"I can smell the stench of the dead people so far away."

Saying this was an elf female officer standing on the head of Emhar City with a double-edged sword on her waist. She was named Shaerta. The chief of this force is a colonel officer.

Schindler's elves are many, especially in the army. However, in fact, in addition to the Kamil corps, among the other kings, it is rare to see Elf officers.

However, except for the Fifth Army. The reason is very simple. In the Fifth Legion itself, it was assembled from several other main legions, and its composition was more complicated.

Shalta was transferred from the Kmir Runner-up when the Fifth Army was established. Within the Fifth Army Corps, after several transfers, he finally became the military chief of the Emgar Garrison, obeying the dual leadership of Major General Delin and Chief Muken.

At this moment, standing next to the female officer was the patriarch of the Thunder clan, Mukane Thunder.

Mulken is a very old and strong dwarf. He was the chief executive of Emhal. When Emhal ​​was just built by Dyne from the "Heart of the Dynasty" system, he appeared with Emhal.

At that time, Mulken was already a powerful Thunderbringer. At the time, he had at least twelve professional levels. Then, with the upgrade of Emhar's main base level, Mulken's strength also increased a lot. Until now, he has been an out-of-the-box Thunderbringer of the Sixteenth Level. Moreover, it is estimated that as long as Emhar's level is increased to the level of the sixth base, he can cross a hurdle and become a legend, right?

Of course, Emhal ​​wants to rise to the sixth level, but it is still far away. In fact, this dwarf city is still a little far from the fifth level.

Hearing the words of the female officer, the dwarven lord who had not yet reached the waist height laughed aloud, and said, "Wait for a fight with these skeletons and carrion, now I feel sick?"

"Aversion to them will only make me better to destroy them."

"Good!" Muken praised, "But before that, let my lads teach a lesson to these filthy creatures!"

In other words, Chief Muken turned directly and shouted at the rows of dwarves standing on the city wall: "The enemy has entered the platform, and everyone is firing! Blast these miscellaneous pieces!"

The words fell, and the dwarves shouted into a tsunami-this is a well-known big voice race.

And the sound after cheering was even louder-that was artillery and guns!

The dwarven forged alchemy cannons are better than those produced by White Wolf Castle. This is a racial advantage. Although the artillery workshops of both races are called ‘artillery workshops’, it ’s important to know that among Emhal, there is a special racial building called the Craftsmen ’s Association.

This special ethnic building can greatly increase the quality of products produced by various artisans.

The shells fired by dwarf artillery are far more powerful than human fire. It also kills the enemy by exploding. The shells of human artillery can't be compared with the fireball technique thrown by a mage. However, the power of dwarven artillery is generally much higher than that of fireball.

This power is almost two or three times worse.

As for the dwarven musketeers, they are the second class of the dwarven race. These soldiers armed with dwarf muskets may not be comparable to the elven rangers in terms of shooting accuracy, but-muskets fire fast, only a little slower than human crossbowmen, but they are more powerful than crossbowmen. A lot. As for the range, it is not as good as the Long Bow, but definitely better than Crossbow.

In short, this is a very special branch.

Artillery and muskets fired wildly, standing on the solid walls and the shooting holes left on the wall stacks, and the dwarves began to harvest the souls of the undead.

Hard against the fire, the undead army tried to think about the city gate and rushed, but found that it couldn't rush at all. After trying for a dozen or twenty minutes, they receded. And during this time, the attacking undead army suffered at least two thousand losses.

As for Emhal, although he also received some long-range counterattacks, such as some corpses' evil spirit rays, and some magic attacks of liches and undead mages, the losses were not great. Emhal ​​is not a small blockhouse. The walls and battlements are much stronger. They are not so easy to destroy. The soldiers are relatively safe when they hide behind the shooting holes. And the runes that are engraved on the gates and walls of the city also have a rather poor anti-magic ability. Before the magical power comes up, they will be weakened part of the strength, hit the wall and be disintegrated It ’s pitifully rare to be effective.

On the contrary, the undead who were exposed to the arrows of artillery and muskets and crossbowmen had less luck. They are numerous and quite crowded. Under the dense long-range attack, the losses are very large.

This is inseparable from Emhal's design.

This area before the gate of the dwarf city is a platform. It seems that this platform can allow the attacking side to gather forces and exert some quantitative advantages, but this is actually a trap.

The dwarves attach so much importance to their cities, and the defense measures in all aspects have almost reached their limits. How could such a large loophole be exposed in plain English?

Look at the terrain of this platform.

The entire platform is very wide, almost equal to the gates and walls of Emhal. Here, enough to line up an array of tens of thousands of troops.

However, although the width is good, the depth is not good. From the head of the city, the artillery can completely cover everything from the gate to the end of the platform. The musket is also similar. Perhaps the crossbowman has a shorter range, which will be more embarrassing. Covers two-thirds of the distance.

At the other end of the platform is a rugged mountain road. It was very difficult to walk there. At the same time, there were very few soldiers who could walk up the platform from the mountain road. The mountain road is so wide in total, two human-sized creatures walking side by side are too crowded, let alone the army passed.

In this dwarf's defensive strategy, we can see that they make full use of this terrain advantage.

When the undead just came out of the mountain road ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ The guns and artillery were very quiet, and they were not in a hurry. And when the army of the undead came in for four or five thousand and filled the entire platform almost halfway, Emhal's powerful defensive firepower only began to show his might.

In the platform, the dense formation of the undead, in the face of a strong fire strike, of course, the loss will not be small.

At this time, their situation became very embarrassing.

The offensive is slightly inadequate, and no one dares to count on 4,000 or 5,000 undead to defeat Emhar's magnificent city walls and gates; if he chooses to retreat, then only the very narrow mountain road can be used to retreat The speed is quite slow.

No matter how these undead are chosen, they must be baptized by artillery on this death platform.
