When the orcs attacked Loch Modan and Dun Morogh, they swarmed towards the dwarf bunkers, and then each bunker could not withstand the pressure and collapsed.

Then failure and rout began to spread like a plague, and all along the way were dwarves who abandoned their armor and fled. They fled to Ironforge and could no longer retreat before they finally gained a foothold. However, the whole territory had already fallen, and they wanted to stand up again.

But it’s difficult.

Facing the orc army coming like a green wave, anyone would be scared, unless they were dead warriors without emotions.

There must be hope of survival in the battle so that soldiers can have the courage to fight on. Faced with the end of no life, no one is willing to sacrifice his life to defend. Soldiers like to follow generals who often win battles. Only victory can

There will be a basis for survival.

This is a lack of strategic thinking. Dwarves usually fight against an unusual number of enemies, but the combat effect of the bunker group is actually very good.

This flexible bunker group defense mode is like a set of gears rotating at high speed. Each bunker is a gear, and the fate of items caught in it will be quite tragic.

Just like during the Ming Dynasty, in order to suppress the nomads on the grasslands, the ancients built a group of dotted bunkers outside the fortress. Nomadic cavalry who wanted to bypass this group of bunkers would soon be divided and torn apart by the defenders attacking from each bunker.

broken.

If you want to demolish these bunkers one by one, you will still be beaten by the assembled army.

In an era without powerful siege weapons such as tanks and artillery, this method of defense was actually very effective. Unfortunately, the enemies faced by the dwarves were too perverted. There were more than ten times more people on the battlefield than the dwarves. One or two thousand dwarves

The defenders often had to face attacks from twenty to thirty thousand orc warriors.

The combat effectiveness of the orc infantry is not much weaker than that of the dwarves. Two or three orc warriors can suppress a powerful dwarf warrior. This emerald-green sea of ​​orc infantry sweeps in and directly kills the dwarves who are at an absolute disadvantage.

It was crushed.

It would be much better if we switch to the Wildhammer dwarves. Although it is still a bunker group, the terrain is not flat, and there will not be a scene of being pushed flat by a sea of ​​​​people.

The layered terrace-like structure on the Eagle's Nest Mountain side, although the gap between each layer is only five or six meters, at least forms a slight obstacle to attack and gives the defender a great advantage.

At a height of five or six meters, the troll might be able to jump up with all his strength, but there are fully armed dwarf warriors standing on top, so you should jump up and show everyone!

The person was strung up by the spear while he was still in the air. He thought he didn't die quickly enough, so he jumped on it.

Moreover, there are gryphon knights in the sky. These powerful units will create corpses wherever they fly. With this level of defense, even if the orc army comes, they will not be able to penetrate the core position in a short time.

And when Zhang Weidao saw the large buildings of the Wildhammer dwarves with super-large-caliber heavy artillery mounted on them, he could only express his admiration for the trolls who had been harassing the Wildhammer dwarves all year round. Of course, it was hard to say whether the trolls were brave or ignorant.

Visual inspection shows that those giant cannons are at least 1000mm or more. The Gustav train gun that has been used in actual combat has a caliber of 800mm. The Little David made by the American Empire and has never fired a cannon has a caliber of 914mm.

These crazy Wildhammer dwarves set up such an even more exaggerated cannon directly on the roof. This is an incredible rhythm!

Zhang Weidao pointed to the cannon barrels on the roof in front of him that people can have fun playing in, "Coors, what will happen if these giant cannons fire?"

Upon hearing Zhang Weidao's inquiry, Coulters suddenly smiled with great pride and began to introduce these masterpieces of theirs.

"These giant cannons are the ultimate weapon in Eagle's Nest Mountain. Every time they are fired, the trolls will be frightened!"

"When these ultimate weapons are fired, the mud splashed up can bury people in it."

When talking about the high height of the soil splashing, Coors pointed to the terrace-like height difference, "Did you see the height difference on the ground? It was caused by the explosion of this kind of giant cannon."

Sir Lothar looked unconcerned when he heard Coors' introduction. Although he had seen the power of mortars, he still couldn't believe it when the ground was blown up several meters high. What kind of cannon?

It can be so powerful that it can blow up a pit. Sir Lothar feels that dwarves just like to brag.

It was different when it came to Zhang Weidao. He knew very well that the caliber was directly proportional to the power. This was an eternal truth. When the caliber reached a certain level, the power of the artillery shell was very terrifying.

The reason why modern artillery on earth does not pursue caliber too much is actually to improve the rate of fire, range and shooting accuracy. Large-caliber weapons are actually still the mainstream, but they have been replaced by weapons with almost no recoil such as rockets and missiles.

The shells fired by this crazy cannon are estimated to be several tons. When one cannon hits it, it will be a football field, but it is the kind that digs out a huge crater dozens of meters deep in the football field. One shot from the Gustav train cannon

If it goes down, the cannonballs can blast through fortifications thirty meters underground, and these cannonballs can be used to dig ports.

Faced with this crazy cannon, Zhang Weidao felt that if these dwarves were to fire the cannon, he would have to run ten kilometers away to be safe.

"You must inform us before firing this kind of weapon. If one shot is fired, the roof will collapse, right?"

"It's okay. We have tried it many times. At most, some dust will fall off the roof."

"The mountain rock formations above are more than 20 meters thick, and they have been strengthened by shamans' spells. Even if the barrel of the cannon explodes, it will be fine." Coors was particularly excited when talking about the giant cannon. When this kind of giant cannon fires,

The deafening feeling is so exciting!

This ultimate weapon was the basis for their foothold in the Hinterlands. The Griffin Knights were developed later. In the early days, they were used to destroy the morale of the troll invaders with one shot after another. At that time, even the terrain outside the Eagle's Nest Mountain was completely destroyed.

Changed, and what was changed at the same time was the troll invader's desire to attack.

Every time this kind of cannon is fired, the trolls will scatter and flee, and the battle is basically over. All you need to do is bury the dead trolls in the pit and fill it back with soil.

Zhang Weidao was very interested in the power of this weapon, but the weapon itself was of little interest.

Loading this kind of giant cannon is very laborious. It takes several hours to reload the shells after firing one shot. By then the battle is definitely over. In the magical world, there is no such thing as tug-of-war. A head-on confrontation can take up to several hours.

End the battle. There is absolutely no such thing as a fierce battle for days and nights!

A few hours are enough for the mages to cast a forbidden spell.

The Amani, a powerful troll tribe that was arrogant at that time, was completely defeated by humans and high elf mages who jointly released rain of fire from the sky in just one decisive battle. This is why Zhang Weidao likes to pursue rapid-fire weapons, the shorter the time

Output enough firepower to defeat or annihilate the enemy as quickly as possible to prevent the opponent from suddenly making a comeback.

Weapons like rockets that can be fired one after another in a short period of time are what Zhang Weidao values ​​most. If there were not enough conditions to produce rockets here, he would not want to use those bulky heavy mortars.

The mobility and deployment speed of heavy mortars are poor, and even the firing speed is not fast. If a spellcaster surprises you, you will definitely die miserably! After beating the opponent, just run away, which is Zhang Weidao's concept of using firearms.

Reduce the chance of retaliation after being targeted by the enemy.
