Chapter 648, War Machine of the Great Battle of Nur
ps: Today's chapter is 5,400 words, a lot of it!
The gray-white Prophet Drazhorth stared intently at the giant war machine rushing towards him. The leader of the Chaos Dwarves once thought that the empire had moved its ships to land, or that Nuer had dispatched steam tanks, but he soon He soon realized that the war machine that the opponent charged was a brand new invention, different from the steam tank, this thing was something else!
The Hell Guards are also dwarfed in front of them. These big guys look a bit like naval battleships, but there is a row of huge wheels installed underneath, and some huge steam engines seem to be installed inside as a source of driving force. Black smoke was constantly spewing from the tail of the battleship, and just above the battleship, the notorious Mannan Blade mercenary group wielded scimitars and tridents, and everyone was equipped with long-barreled firecrackers. Under the command of Huzi Tiqi, they were densely arranged on the deck of the land ship, and the number was about 800 people. The deck seemed crowded and eager to fight.
Blackbeard Teach's notoriety has even been heard by Drazhorth as a Chaos Dwarf. It is said that this is a pirate, mercenary, smuggler, and thief worthy of the gallows. He spent decades Let yourself be composed of ferocious pirates and old sailors to form a pirate group that ravaged the old world until they were conquered by the Grand Duke of Marienburg Van der Gouber-Schulz, Blackbeard Teach and his Blackbeard pirates After accepting the recruitment, it was announced that it would become the mercenary army of Marienburg, and it was renamed as Mannen's Blade Mercenary Group, and the pirate ship became a privateer.
No one knows what Blackbeard Titch and Schultz talked about, but at least this notorious mercenary captain talked about credit and contract spirit. Due to the delicate relationship between Marienburg and the Empire, the Blade of Mannan Mercenary regiments rarely accept employment from the empire, so nobles in the entire empire dislike them.
However, in order to protect their achievements, in order to successfully accept the land ship, and in order to obtain an amazing commission from the Nuer City Council, the Marienburg Council decided to agree to the request of Countess Emmanuel, that is, to Four land ships go into battle!
The mercenaries of the Blade of Menanen are really extraordinary as soon as they enter the battlefield. Which sea area in the west has not been to these sturdy mercenaries composed of former pirates and sailor veterans? All of them have seen many battles. They have fought against high elves, dark elves, vampire pirates and even the Tomb King fleet. Facing the menacing chaotic dwarves, Blackbeard Titch and his servants The soldiers didn't panic at all. They held long-barreled guns and used deadly lead pellet ammunition to snipe the Chaos Dwarves' warriors rhythmically.
To make matters worse, Drazhorth saw that the guard plate was opened on the bow of the land ship, and the muzzles of cannons with black holes were slowly being pushed out from inside.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" The Gray Prophet felt bad in his heart. If he was still thinking about whether to forcefully attack the Imperial Army before, then now he had to think about how to protect his own army.
Drazhorth had just opened his mouth to order to prepare the remaining six demon steam trains that were still moving to form a fan shape to deal with the entrance of the land ship. raised his head.
"Chaos dwarves! I am your ancestor!!!" It was the black-hearted Rep and his free cavalry regiment who rushed over. Like crazy, he led about a thousand free cavalry to directly attack the Chaos Dwarves' formation from the side.
This is indeed a rare opportunity, because the former army of the Chaos Dwarves suffered heavy losses in the attack just now. After losing more than a thousand vanguards, Black Heart Repp immediately captured the golden opportunity. He led the free cavalry from Charged sideways to the entire Chaos Dwarves army formation, while the Chaos Dwarves were still panicked and surprised,
Black-hearted Repp has already pulled out the black two-handed long sword behind him: "In this battle, there are no assists, the whole **** is the main attack! Brothers, hit me hard!"
"Oh oh oh!" All the free cavalrymen raised their firearms. They fired one after another on their horseback, and the dense barrage blasted into the army formation of Chaos Dwarves. Under close range shooting, The Chaos Dwarves were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The shooting of the Freedom Cavalry achieved gratifying results, and hundreds of Chaos Dwarves fell like this.
The Gray Prophet was very upset, very, he immediately gave an order to the Chaos Dwarf army, and the most elite purgatory guards in the Chaos Dwarf army came up.
These purgatory guards are all wearing heavy armor. They are ruthless and the core of the Chaos Dwarves army. They walked neatly and raised their flint spears at the free cavalry headed by Black Heart Repp.
"Boom~Boom~"
The Chaos Dwarves' counterattack was much faster than expected. The devastating firepower instantly blasted many cavalrymen and horses of the entire Freedom Cavalry Regiment to pieces. More than two hundred cavalry fell off their horses, and the rest stopped. Loudly ordered the remaining cavalry to regroup, and then raised the black two-handed long sword in his hand: "Go forward, brothers! Even if we are only one person left, we must continue to attack, follow me! Charlemagne, for the savior Ludwig, for the empire!!!"
"For the Empire!" The Freedom Cavalry was inspired by the words of the black-hearted Repp, and it was indeed impossible for them to reload. The human cavalry all cut into melee and launched a attack on the entire Chaos Dwarf army. Charge!
"Hmph, stupid!" The Gray Prophet sneered when he saw this group of human beings charging towards the Chaos Dwarves' army beyond their limits.
The shield wall of the Sons of Hasut, the impenetrable formation of the Chaos Dwarf warriors, could this mob break down? If these thousand cavalry were all official knights of the Imperial Knights, it would be about the same, but apart from dozens of wandering knights conscripted, most of the free cavalry consisted of pistol cavalry, pioneer cavalry, and many mercenary cavalry. Composition, what can these people do?
"I, Littlebird, will die on the way to the charge!" Just as the black-hearted Repp led a large group of cavalry close to the strong shield wall of the Chaos Dwarves, the mercenary baron suddenly shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" Come!"
After finishing speaking, the large group of free cavalry suddenly made a turn in their advance, and then rushed straight towards the place where the Chaos Dwarf's devil steam train and logistics were located. These human cavalry screamed wildly, one by one from With grenades and explosives, firelighters, and even a grenade launcher!
Drazhorth: "???"
"Brothers, let it go!!!" Black-hearted Rep commanded the cavalry skillfully. He took the lead in igniting the grenade in his hand and threw it towards the devil steam train.
Grenades, explosives, and grenades were all thrown into the base and body of the devil steam train, as well as the supply convoy full of weapons and ammunition, and then quickly passed by and exited the battlefield directly!
"The task entrusted to us by the Duke of Lane has been completed, brothers, retreat!" Black-hearted Rip laughed loudly, and he directly cut a chaotic dwarf demon blacksmith who was caught off guard in two with a sword: "Chaos dwarf! You Litbo Grandpa De won't play with you anymore!"
After finishing speaking, the group of free cavalry who had less than 500 riders left retreated towards the distance. Within a few seconds, more than half of the luggage in the three devil steam trains and the supply convoy were blown up in the explosion. God.
"No!!!" The Gray Prophet watched the flames of the explosion rushing into the sky, and he couldn't breathe with heartache, but there was no time for him to think now, the land ship controlled by the Mannan Blade Mercenary Group came!
"Fire!" Blackbeard Titch stood at the bow of the ship and raised the scimitar in his hand high. Taking advantage of the internal chaos of the Chaos Dwarves and when the weapons could not be loaded, Blackbeard Titch immediately ordered the land ship to fire. The cannon on the bow He had already noticed the remaining supply convoy of the Chaos Dwarves during the detonation of Black Heart Rep. The four land ships made a thunderous bang together, and the light weapons at various positions on the deck also fired round after round of volleys. A cannonball accurately hit a pile of Chaos Dwarf mortar ammunition, and the ensuing explosion made the entire area miserable. The corpses of the Chaos Dwarf artillerymen were lying on the ground, and the remaining few precious The mortar was also blown into a pile of scrap iron.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Mannan Blade Mercenary Regiment also followed the land ship and joined the battlefield. They all held firearms, wore ivory white uniforms, and wore black armor. They fired together, and they aimed at The Chaos Dwarves artillery and the Goblin slaves enslaved by the Chaos Dwarves opened fire, shooting and killing the chaotic enemies. Their attacks completely paralyzed the remaining artillery of the Chaos Dwarves, and Chaos, who was trying to fight back, The dwarves were either crushed to pieces by the lander or pushed back by the hard ram structure at the front of the lander.
At this moment, even the Chaos Dwarves, who had high morale and were never easily defeated, felt fear.
Damn it! If this continues we will lose! The Gray Prophet Drazhoth immediately realized that the situation of the battle had become unfavorable, and he couldn't control it anymore. He immediately flew into the sky on a blazing Taurus, and the Gray Prophet softly chanted a spell, as a legendary pinnacle Chaos dwarf demon warlock, he wants to let mankind understand the anger of Hasut, the father of darkness!
Two minutes later, after the incantation was finished, the Gray Prophet raised his staff, and almost at the same time, the blazing Taurus under him also gathered all its strength and spit out black flames.
"The Great Curse, Hasut's Judgment!"
A black pillar of fire more than ten meters high and five or six meters in diameter spewed out from the surface, completely enveloping a land ship in flames. The land ship was quickly reduced to a mass of ashes in the flames, and Drazhorth laughed a few times in satisfaction, but the severe pain in his body made the gray prophet's smile freeze on his face immediately, it was chaos The backlash of magic, dwarves are a race that is very resistant to the wind of magic. The result of the chaotic dwarves forcibly using chaos magic is that every time they use chaos magic, their bodies will transform a little into real stones.
The destruction of one land-ship did not make the remaining land-ships back down. The Mannan Blade mercenaries were a group of blood-licking guys. Seeing the brothers who had carried the guns together fell down, the rest The mercenaries became even crazier. They drove the land boat at full speed, and everywhere they passed was a bloodbath.
"Hey! Where's the reinforcements? Where are the Kurgan reinforcements? We need reinforcements!" the Gray Prophet yelled.
At this time, there was a rush of hoofbeats in the distance, and the increasingly dense hoofbeats made Drazhoth a little flustered, but when he saw the opponent, he was relieved and beamed with joy. It turned out that it was under the command of Say the Faithless There are hundreds of Daogan cavalry.
He was about to ask these cavalrymen to attack the flanks of the land ship, but the group of Daogan cavalry didn't intend to join the battle at all. They fled all the way screaming, and then quickly ran away.
"Fuck, it's so fucking real!" Gray Prophet continued to yell, his face turned pale with anger: "A bunch of trash! I really shouldn't trust Say, an idiot!"
At this time, the land ship was fighting with the army of Chaos Dwarves, and the mercenaries of Mannan's Blade faced the Sworn Guards and Purgatory Guards of the Chaos Dwarves. For a long time, the musketeers and cannons on the land ship fired continuously, submerging the Chaos Dwarves in the artillery fire and barrage.
The purgatory guards once boasted that the heavy armor forged in the furnace of hell is enough to fight against any artillery and firearms, but under close range shooting, these cowhide kings were torn to pieces by artillery and long-barreled firecrackers wave after wave , The two sides were fighting hard in the explosion and fighting like this. The individual combat ability of the Chaos Dwarves can be described as extremely strong, but the Blade of Mannan was not to be outdone by landing and sailing. Beard Titch and Gray Prophet are commanding the troops to keep up.
Drazhorth is still in the midst of magical backlash, unable to release magic for the time being, he can only make a decision, which is to release the final weapon: "Send me the order! The flame destroyer is dispatched!"
On a scrapped devil steam train, a huge iron coffin was opened.
The Chaos Dwarven blacksmiths have always sought to create a fusion of metal and spirit, and through their dark art of forging and long labors have produced this half-breathing and half-fiery metal monstrosity.
One of the most successful works is called Flame Destroyer.
Its appearance is like a giant bull beast wrapped in steel, its whole body is black and glowing with fiery runes blended with metal, it stands seven or eight meters high, and it is covered with flowing purgatory flames. It opens its mouth, Large streams of magma flowed out, one of its hands was a sharp spike, and the other was a crazily rotating cutting machine. The giant gear blade exuded a fiery temperature during the rotation, which made people feel uncomfortable. be terrified.
"Today is the end of Nuer and these land battleships!"
When this giant beast joined the battlefield, even the Mannan Blade mercenaries screamed in horror. They finally wanted to escape in the land ship, but the state of the land ship was not good. Well, after a fierce battle, most of the remaining three land battleships have faced the bad luck of slowing down and multiple fires. They have suffered from too many attacks and are already crumbling. The huge steam boilers are also leaking or making bad noises. .
The Flame Destroyer pressed against the gunfire of the landing ship and approached the nearest land ship. It pierced a large hole in the land ship with one move, and sprayed out magma and flames from its mouth, melting the mercenaries who resisted desperately on the ship. It turned into a mass of debris, and the cutting machine in the other hand hit the middle of the hull fiercely, the gears turned, and sawdust splashed, and finally, after a harsh sound, accompanied by a large amount of debris, the cutting machine smashed the entire ship into pieces. The boat was rowed in half.
Blackbeard Titch stared at this scene, and he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Let go of the ram!"
"Let go of the ram!" The mercenaries responded loudly, and the heavy ram was removed from the land ship. The land ship led by Blackbeard Titch was still in good condition. By throwing away the heavy objects, the land ship got rid of the heavy load , became sensitive, so Blackbeard Titch immediately ordered: "Turn around and attack the steam boiler of that land ship!"
The muskets and artillery fired together, and a cannonball just hit the steam boiler of the dismembered land ship, and the ensuing big explosion caused the entire battleship to be swept across the battlefield by large and small fragments like a gust of wind.
The remaining nearly 100 mercenaries on the land ship were blown to pieces along with all the nearby Chaos Dwarves and the Flame Destroyer!
This big explosion seemed to shake the entire battlefield on the left wing of the empire. At this time, two of the four land ships dispatched by the empire were completely damaged, one was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. The blade mercenary regiment has already suffered heavy casualties and more than half of them, and the exhausted left-wing army of the empire has basically lost its fighting ability.
But the loss of the Chaos Dwarves was even more astonishing. Drazhorth's original army of more than 8,000 Chaos Dwarves had less than 600 people left! Almost all the war machines were destroyed, and the Flame Destroyer was gone!
Only then did Drazhorth realize that Say's prediction might not be a joke at all, his expression changed for a few seconds, and he finally made a decision.
The gray prophet's unwilling roar resounded through the sky.
"wdnmd! Free, all free! We were sold!"
Afterwards, the Gray Prophet issued an order to retreat, and the Chaos Dwarves rushed to repair the only two demonic steam trains that could still move, and retreated immediately, while the imperial army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was unable to catch up at this time.
……… I am the dividing line for nothing………
The big explosion from the Chaos Dwarves made Tamu Khan, who was supervising the battle, turn his head and look. The tribes of the unbelievers Say and Daogan had already failed, and he was anxious to know how the battle situation at the Gray Prophet was. ,
But the thick smoke blocked his sight, and then, the screams from the frontal battlefield forced Nurgle's chosen champion to turn his attention back to the imperial army formation.
I saw the leader of the Rotten Knights, the champion of Nurgle Kha'Zix-The Defiler was panting in pain, his two arms had been cut off, and a flaming blade was piercing through it, emitting the cold light of the Lake God. his body.
"For the lady!" Callard coldly pulled the Excalibur Durandal from Kha'Zix's chest, and then chopped off the head of the Nurgle champion with a single sword. Cheers came from the imperial army.
Tamu Khan subconsciously wanted to ask anyone under his command who wanted to dedicate the head of this Holy Grail Knight to Father Nurgle, but when he turned around, he found that he had not many people left. Most of the tribe warriors were fighting with him. The imperial army fought hard, and there were only a dozen plague ogres, a dozen chaos giants, hundreds of personal guards and some Nurgle demons left beside Tamu Khan.
The toad dragon Pablos let out a deafening roar and stepped forward.
Nurgle's chosen champion, Tamu Khan, personally leads all the remaining troops into the battlefield!
It's time to decide the winner!
