Chapter 450 Foundation pit and trench defense line
Although the number of sand barbarians and Gobi dwarf warriors is far inferior to that of wasteland goblins and rock goblins, not to mention that there are sand jackals on the other side's flanks.
However, members of the Ash Legion equipped with the omni-machine exoskeleton-assisted armor, even if they are only intermediate warriors, can still exert the combat effectiveness and defense of advanced warriors.
As a result, the Ashes Legion has only over 600,000 troops.
It was enough to forcibly withstand the combined forces of Sand Jackals, Gravel Barbarians, Wasteland Goblins and Rock Goblins that were ten times their size.
As for the cannon fodder units such as the Sand Lizards and Ash Goblins, which relied on numbers to overwhelm the enemy, they were simply ignored. Naturally, there were countless low-level undead to deal with them.
The sand barbarians, all of whom had changed into the standard dragon tooth swords, transformed into double-sword warriors, wielding two dog-leg knives that looked like axes but not axes, and looked like knives but not knives, and stood out among the crowd like chopping dumpling fillings. The one that was slashed flew up.
The stocky Gobi dwarves simply gave up their defense after being broken through by the giant rock goblin as strong as a bear.
Round the steel cone tower shield, use one side of the wedge-shaped ax blade, open and close it to chop and chop. The steel cone can be used to poke the crotch, and the ax blade can be used to chop the soles of the feet... The wasteland race does not wear shoes, so they are born with a pair of shoes. The thick feet are covered with calluses and are not afraid of being burned or poked.
It's not that the Gobi dwarves are willing to use such wretched tactics. In fact, compared to the giant rock goblins who are over 2.5 meters tall, their height of less than 1.4 meters is really out of reach.
The desert halflings and desert dwarf warriors, who were invisible among the crowd, wielded small dog-leg knives specially made for them, and mixed in the crowd to either chop off their toes or chop off their knees.
Then you can either go around behind the enemy and use the dog-legged knife to launch the secret technique of Konoha style "Millennium Killing. Anal Strike", or climb up the enemy's back, grab the opponent's scalp, step on the opponent's shoulders, and wipe the throat.
Of course, a more convenient tactic is to hide in the crowd, use an injection-type paralyzing steel needle on their thighs, and write as many positive characters as you want.
It is precisely because of the various advanced equipment and weapons provided by the Lord of Ashes City that although the Ashes Legion was besieged by enemies ten times their size, they who held on to the defense line were like a millstone of flesh and blood, crushing a steady stream of enemies who rushed into the defense line. It was swallowed up, but the defense line never collapsed.
This does not mean that the Ash Legion is without damage, even though it has advanced defensive equipment such as omnic armor.
However, tall enemies like gravel barbarians, wasteland goblins, and rock goblins usually use huge bone clubs or heavy wooden clubs.
A whistling mallet was swung over and could knock people away like a baseball. Even if it couldn't break through the metal armor's defense, the shock could still make them vomit blood.
But overall, in this war, the Ashes Alliance, which is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, has the upper hand. You can tell by looking at the "human wall" that has been piled up on the ground.
Although tens of millions of people participated in this war between the Demihuman Alliance and the Humanoid Alliance, only a small number of troops in the front row of both sides were actually exposed.
Before the warriors on the Ashes Alliance's defense line are injured or exhausted, it will be difficult for the Humanoid Alliance to forcefully advance the front line... This cannot be accomplished by relying on large numbers of people and strength.
Why did the Ashes Alliance place its defense line outside the city without city walls, instead of relying on the towering and solid city walls to defend the city?
Considering that with such a large number of participants, being trapped in the city would make it difficult to use any tactics. Once surrounded by the opponent, the war would be dragged into a protracted war.
What Bai Yuqi wants is not to huddle in the city and exhaust the enemy who lacks supplies, but to retreat on their own. What he wants is to completely eliminate the threat of the Humanoid Alliance once and for all.
There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. How can he have time to be dragged on the battlefield of Ash Wasteland all day long?
Therefore, after detecting signs of a gathering of humanoid alliances, we based the construction site on the 3rd, 4th and 5th Ring Road that was being expanded in Ash City.
Dense and intricate labyrinth-like trenches were excavated... In fact, these trenches were originally foundation pits excavated for the building complex to be constructed later.
Therefore, unless the Humanoid Alliance plans to use its troops to fill in all these large pits that are more than ten meters deep, it can only advance around those convex, concave, and winding trench routes.
As for jumping in directly from this side of the trench and then climbing out from the other side? Can you try it?
The trench position outside Ash City is not just a circle, but radiates out for more than ten kilometers with Ash City as the core!
Before the arrival of the Humanoid Alliance, the Omnic Infrastructure Corps spent their free time digging holes outside the city... digging foundations for fun. Anyway, the area of Ash City will be expanded later, so digging the foundations in advance will not be a waste.
Therefore, when the humanoid alliance poured in along the specially reserved passages and battlefield spaces between these foundation pits and trenches, it was invisibly divided into large and small intervals.
When the soldiers on the first line of defense suffer heavy casualties or are exhausted, the soldiers on the second line of defense can launch an assault through the twists and turns of the trench line to cut off the retreat of the battlefield area and prevent the follow-up of the Humanoid Alliance.
The troops came up.
Then, the soldiers on the first line of defense can be replaced to the rear for treatment and rest. They can even calmly send logistics troops to clean the battlefield and drag back those prisoners who have been hit by paralyzing steel needles for detention.
In this way, the Ashes Alliance can advance when they want, retreat when they want, and slowly bring the enemy in to fight!
The Humanoid Alliance's frontline troops were unable to attack for a long time, and the rear troops could not see the battle situation and terrain conditions in front. After consuming a large amount of troops in vain, they realized that something was wrong and quickly dispatched their hidden secret troops.
came out.
It was an overwhelming flying legion of sand vultures, rising like a dark cloud from behind the Humanoid Alliance, pressing toward the front line.
After arriving at the war zone, Jiang condescendingly carried a flint spear and launched it down, and actually launched an aerial attack.
Unfortunately, the steel cone tower shield in the hands of the Gobi dwarf warriors in the Ash Legion is not a good-looking one. In addition to being used to poke and chop people, its main function is to defend.
Although this kind of stone spear processed with the special "energy-accumulating obsidian" of the catastrophe plane is sharp, it is only a kind of crystal after all. It is not strong enough to collide with steel, so it is either smashed on the tower shield, or directly
Was thrown away!
