Chapter 1636 Another Battlefield

After the farce of the fight in the fifth squadron was settled, Bolsson finally assembled his mercenary regiment, planning to go to the battlefield and do some "business".

Bolsom's orders from General Thomas Cornwallis were to contain Midgardian allies—mercenaries from the Volsung tribe.

If this force of a thousand Asir chasseurs tried to support the Midgardian colonial regiment, Bolsson would lead his troops to stop them and isolate them from the main battlefield.

After the main force of General Cornwallis defeated the Midgardians, they would turn around and cooperate with the hill giants to pinch the Volsunger Corps—if the group of natives hadn't escaped with their tails between their legs by then.

As a commander, Bolsson agrees with General Cornwallis's battle plan intellectually, but as a wild and recalcitrant hill giant in his bones, he strictly obeys General Cornwallis' arrangements. A small supporting role in the campaign was not enough to satisfy Bolsson's voracious appetite.

Especially when the messenger sent the news that Bolsson learned that the Cornwallis Corps was progressing smoothly and was chasing the Midgard Colonial Corps, which was already showing signs of defeat, his mentality changed subtly.

If the fighting situation continues like this, I am afraid that the Asa mercenaries who are accustomed to playing around with the wind will slip away before General Kang Huali eats up the main force of the enemy.

Bolsson didn't pay much attention to the fighting power of the Asa mercenaries, but he had to admit that the Asa people who grew up on horseback were all excellent at riding, and they turned like the wind.

If the Asa people really run away on flying horses, they and their brothers can only catch up with two legs. In a short period of time, they can keep up with the pace of the horses by virtue of their height and long legs. The endurance advantage in long-distance cross-country is more obvious. Sooner or later, one's side will be left far behind by the Asa hunter, and can only follow the horse's ass to eat ashes.

In this way, Bolsson's troops are equivalent to an outing on the battlefield, doing nothing...

It is of course a good thing to be able to complete the commission of the employer without working, and the commission is safely pocketed, but Bolsson's ambition cannot be satisfied.

In fact, the commission that the Calydonian mercenary group got from the real person Fei was much less than what outsiders imagined, but there was an additional clause when signing the mercenary contract, that is, after the hill giant completed the combat mission, he would plunder The trophies and prisoners of war do not need to be handed over to the employer, and have the right to distribute them themselves-these trophies are the main source of income for the mercenary group.

Passive combat means that there will be no loot to loot, and income will be greatly reduced. This is not in Bolsson's interest.

At this time, General Cornwallis had already led his troops to pursue and defeat the retreating Midgard colonial regiment, but the Asa mercenaries on the opposite side had not shown any intention of rescuing their allies, which made Bolsson determined despite his disappointment. :

"We can't wait any longer! We must launch an attack before the Asa people run away, and get more benefits for ourselves and our brothers!"

Bolsson's announcement won the unanimous support of the mercenaries under his command, cheering and gearing up.

The greedy and aggressive hill giants have been waiting impatiently for a long time, and they all hope that Bolsson, the leader, will rush out of the position to kill and grab a quick one with an order!

The Corps was united as one, with high morale, Bolsson no longer delayed, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack!

More than 300 heavily armed hill giants, with squadrons as the unit, approached the position garrisoned by the Volsunger Corps aggressively.

When the Asa sentry noticed that the enemy was moving, they immediately blew the horn.

Logan Volsunger led all the mercenaries, including a pair of sons and daughters, to quickly assemble and mount their horses to meet the invading enemies.

Logan is well aware that the size and strength of the hill giants are much stronger than humans. Although the strength of his own army is three times that of the enemy army, it may not be advantageous to confront them head-on.

Compared with the hill giants, the outstanding advantages of the Asa warriors are that they are integrated with horses and horses, have strong mobility, and they are all good at riding and shooting.

The thousand-man troop trained by Logan himself was equipped with two hundred new magic crystal muskets in addition to the traditional hunting bow.

If one only looked at the penetration rate of rifles, the equipment level of this aboriginal army even surpassed that of the regular army in the Midgard colony.

Under Logan's command, the Volsunger Corps took the battalion as a unit and launched a pincer attack on the hill giant from three directions.

The Asa warriors, who are good at riding and archery, raise their rifles while riding galloping horses, or draw bows and arrows, and attack the hill giants from two hundred yards away.

Bullets and arrows swept past like a storm.

The huge and slow-moving hill giants look like a group of perfect "meat targets", and it is difficult to miss them.

However, what the Asa tribe faced was not ordinary hill giants, but elite warriors carefully selected and trained by Huaiya and Bolsong, otherwise they would not have been entrusted with important tasks by General Cornwallis.

Realizing that the Asa hunters were encircling them, Bolsson immediately ordered to defend on the spot, and the hill giants raised the tower shields they carried with them to resist the oncoming rain of guns and arrows.

This kind of tower shield specially made for giants is like a wide and thick wooden wall, which is difficult for arrows and bullets to penetrate.

The hill giants also wore armor made of wild boar or bison leather. In addition, they were born with rough skin and thick flesh, and had strong defenses. Even if they were occasionally hit by stray arrows, they would not cause fatal injuries.

After a wave of shooting from Asa hunters, the giant mercenaries huddled into a defensive formation, and the casualties were negligible.

"Hey! The Volsung tribe, known as the leader of the natives of the Asa tribe in Midgard, I thought they were capable, but it turned out to be nothing but a name!"

Bolsson held up a large shield with a lion pattern in one hand, sneered contemptuously, and waved his hands to order the whole army to fight back!

The hill giants took advantage of the interval between changing arrows and reloading Asa hunters, and quickly untied the backpacks slung across their bodies. Enemies far away are thrown.

Anyone who thinks that the hill giant can only fight hand-to-hand is completely wrong!

The stones thrown by the Calydonian mercenaries, like cannonballs whizzing out of their chambers, flew a hundred yards away in an instant, and hit the target as if they had eyes.

The Asa hunters who were hit by the stones vomited blood and fell off their horses one after another. If they did not die, they would be seriously injured.

Three hundred hill giants kept throwing boulders, and they actually suppressed three times the number of Asa hunters with firepower, forcing them to retreat on horseback, and the encirclement was broken by itself.

Borson laughed loudly, turned around and shouted: "The first, second, third, and fourth squadrons, continue to throw stones and suppress the enemy! Brothers of the fifth squadron, rush up to me and tear up those weak humans, Loot their horses and equipment!"
