Chapter 11 The Trap
Section 11 Trap
The whereabouts of the dwarves are becoming more and more obvious. The entire mountainous area is now covered with first snow. In this case, when an army marchs, it is always easy to leave traces on the snow.
Now, the catching green-skinned army can see many footprints left on the snow, even the green-skinned orcs can see. The Sguges are becoming more and more irritable, which shows that they are getting closer and closer to the escaped dwarfs.
"What rice is that?" The yellow-eyed boss noticed something flying in the sky. The bird was not that big of a noise. Besides, the thing didn't look like a bird no matter how hard it looked.
"It's a dwarf's helicopter!" explained a goblin shaman beside the boss of the yellow eyes. "Boss, it seems that those dwarfs are not coming alone."
"Can you use magic to knock that thing down?" The yellow-eyed boss was thinking about the height of the "helicopter".
"No, it's too far, boss." The shaman replied. "But don't worry, boss, just a helicopter, they dare not get close to us."
The yellow-eyed boss, when he was about to continue moving forward, a wolf rider suddenly ran to the yellow-eyed boss. "Boss, there is a canyon in front of him."
"Canyon?" The Yellow-Eyed Boss didn't understand for a long time. In fact, although the Yellow-Eyed Boss had occupied this territory for a long time, he didn't spend much effort on the terrain. Several goblin shamans who acted as staff took the boss's energy to make the Yellow-Eyed Boss understand that the terrain of the canyon made it easy to be made into a trap.
Once the orcs rushed into the canyon without any preparation and the dwarves placed troops on the cliffs on both sides, it would turn into a unilateral massacre. Because the dwarves would stand on the cliffs that the greenskins could not reach and attack as they would like to fight back. In this case, if the greenskins could not break through the frontal enemy's blockade in a very short time (even the greenskins with the least brains could understand this is difficult), then they would not have any chance to win.
"What's wrong with this?" The boss of Huangyan was moved by his subordinates. In fact, it was this. The combination of the smart goblin and the brute force orc made the green skin so threatening.
"Boss, I have a good idea!" A goblin jumped out. "Let the spider boys climb onto the cliff and see if there are any short ambush."
"Good way!" The boss of the yellow-eyed made the final decision. In fact, it was not so much because of his wisdom, but because he really wanted to fight a good battle. This group of dwarves with only a few hundred were an excellent target - even the warlike green skin hated defeat.
The number of spider cavalry under the Yellow Eye Boss was not large, only one team, but it was enough to perform this task. When these spider cavalry with ten legs crawled away, the Yellow Eye Boss immediately couldn't wait to urge his subordinates to continue pursuing. Now he can pursue with confidence and boldness. If there is an ambush from the enemy, the Spider Cavalry will definitely notify him in time.
Soon, he entered the canyon. Now, the entire Greenskin army already knew that there were only a few hundred enemies (the Greenskins did not have any military secrets), so those who were slow to move would definitely not be able to fight. Therefore, almost all members of the entire army were rushing to the road, hoping to participate in the war in time.
The roar of muskets broke the tranquility of the canyon. There is no doubt that the Sguges, as the forwards, have already started fighting with the dwarves. There are not many Sguges leading the way in front, and they cannot directly eliminate the dwarves. But since the battle has begun, it means that the dwarves cannot escape. The happy green skins accelerated their pace, pushing and rushing forward, hoping to arrive at the battlefield in time.
...
Borg stared at the battlefield ahead.
All the dwarves had loaded up, waiting for the next wave of enemies to appear. The battle just now was simple and fast. When Sgug was not large in number, their threat was very limited. Borg's troops wiped out these troublesome animals with just two rounds of musket shooting.
However, the greenskins had already arrived one after another. Several teams of scattered greenskins appeared behind Sguge, but they miscalculated the range of the dwarf's muskets, so they were knocked down hundreds of them by a wave of scatters. The rest retreated in a mess, waiting for their large troops to arrive.
This is not a team of thousands of people, but a real army of green skins. The green skins surged from afar, like a green wave, covering up the originally white snow in the canyon.
However, the Greenskins did not attack for the time being. They had already seen that the group of dwarves were only equipped with muskets, no cannons, and no protection from heavy infantry. As long as they could rush up, they would win.
"waaaagh..." A fanatical roar tore the brief calm. Then, all the green skins emitted the same battle cry and rushed towards the hillside where the dwarfs were defending. It was a wave of death mixed with. When Borg raised his musket, he deeply felt that the tension had poured into his bones.
The first wave of muskets fired, but it seemed that the green skin was reduced. The dwarves changed into the second musket without stopping and fired another volley.
"Quick, kids, the third one!" Borg shouted. As a demonstration, the senior engineer quickly replaced the third musket from his waist. The formation of greenskins was dense, so he didn't need to waste time aiming, just aim the muzzle at the group of greenskins and then pull the trigger.
"Go away, kids!" He shouted loudly after firing the last bullet. So the dwarves all turned around and ran backwards.
This scene was greatly inspired by the green skin. The cry of "waaaagh..." became louder and louder. However, this section of the road was not very suitable for running, because the snow covered the terrain and they had to slow down. Of course, it didn't matter. Since the green skin couldn't run fast, the dwarfs' short legs naturally ran slower. Moreover, the attitude of these dwarfs turning around and running made the green skins' morale greatly boost and some force was added to their feet.
But when the yellow-eyed boss rushed to the top of the hillside, he found something incredible - the dwarves had already run away. The escaped dwarves took a sled that had been prepared long ago and slid down from the top of the hillside without any effort. Not only that, some dwarves also shot back on the sled. Although the correct head was much worse due to the sliding bump, they also killed a few green skins.
"waaaagh..." The yellow-eyed boss was angry and anxious. "Catch up and don't let them run away."
But to be honest, it is harder to walk downhill in the snow than uphill. The greens stumbled and chased. The ground was in a terrible condition. Under the snow, there were big holes everywhere, and even the wolf rider, who was known for its slippery slip, had no choice. There were wolves breaking their legs and feet everywhere, let alone wild boars.
The dwarves who had run away jumped off their sleds and began to move towards the hillside in front. It was obvious that when the greens chased them down the hillside, the dwarves had already formed formations on the top of the hillside and shot three times in a row.
The yellow-eyed boss finally couldn't help it. He grabbed a shaman beside him. "Hurry!" He shouted, "Call Spider Boy back!" In this situation, only Spider Boy who ignores any terrain can catch up with these short guys.
The spider boys finally brought good news to the Yellow-eyed Boss. The dwarves did not set up any ambush on the top of the cliff. Because there was a bare rocky mountain top covering the snow. If the dwarves ambush the army on it, it would definitely not be hidden.
Very well, although the group of shorts were slippery, at least they couldn't escape this time. Because as soon as they saw the figure of the Spider Cavalry, they immediately continued to run backward from the second hillside without any attempt to shoot in line.
The spider cavalry chased after him. Although the Yellow-Eyed Boss could not keep up, he could see that the spiders directly avoided the snow and crawled over the cliffs on both sides. This made their speed much faster than the dwarves' escape. The Yellow-Eyed Boss had only nearly two hundred under his command, and a squadron of Spider Boy, but he knew that the Spider Boy was very slippery when fighting. They might not be able to directly destroy these dwarves, but it would be no problem to entangle them.
The dense muskets rang out at the other end of the hillside. The yellow-eyed boss was happy and the fleeing dwarfs were entangled. Then he suddenly found something wrong - why were there other sounds mixed in the gunshots? Cannons? But those dwarfs did not carry cannons!
The yellow-eyed boss rushed to the top of the hillside, and then he finally understood what was going on.
This is already the end of the canyon. In front, a dwarf army has been arranged into battle formations, forming a surround at the exit of the canyon with a half-month formation. With the eyes of the eyes, the boss of the Yellow Eyes can no longer see how many artillery and crossbows there are. Mixed between the war weapons are teams of musketeers.
The spider boy who was chasing just now has all turned into minced meat on the ground. The dwarf musketeer who was chasing the yellow-eyed boss is running towards the position of the main force and joining the battle formation.
The Yellow-Eyed Boss instinctively realized something was wrong. Then he found that there were no dwarf heavy armored infantry here. Even if there were, it was disproportionately rare. Besides, although there were many war machinery, there were not many dwarf soldiers, and the number would not exceed half of the Yellow-Eyed Tribe.
There are still some fighting in this battle. Although the dwarves have occupied favorable terrain, if the Greenskins can launch an attack with their superior forces...
Just as the boss of the Yellow Eye was thinking about how to fight this battle, at the center of the Dwarf Avengers Legion, the great caster Ashu Rufate stepped onto a subordinate. "It's time to be popular." He said.
After a short time, a terrifying sound filled the world. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon collapsed, and the huge rocks and mud swallowed everything in an instant. It seemed as if an invisible hand was crushing the mountain area with force and flattening its original form. The vibration caused was so strong that even the dwarves outside the canyon were a little unstable.
The yellow-eyed boss pushed open a stone and got up from the ground.
"I'm going to fuck!" The green-skinned boss spitted. Then he realized that his once arrogant army had disappeared, replaced by rocks all over the ground. Although the lucky green-skinned who had escaped the disaster kept coming out of the ground, the number of these remaining green-skinned people was only a few hundred at most.
Just when he was frightened and didn't know what to do, a goblin ran towards him. "Boss, boss!" The goblin shouted while running. "Dwarfs... those dwarfs are here!"
