Struggle in the Steam Age

Under normal circumstances, the besieging party with more people in the siege of the city will have a greater advantage in terms of materials and psychology. Because according to tradition, the offensive side often takes the initiative in the war. Therefore, it is natural to get more resources than the defending side.

But the situation in the siege of the fortress at the Blue Mountain Pass was just the opposite. The goblins, especially those living in the tropical rainforest, would basically not store food.

For these creatures that can eat almost anything, the food they can find in the surrounding woods is enough to keep them alive, and there is no need to store food.

But as the group of goblins gathered together and launched a siege on the fortress, the problem suddenly appeared. For the first day or two, they were able to rely on a small amount of food carried on their bodies and obtain food through hunting and gathering around. But only a few days later, the food supply has serious problems.

After all, the carrying capacity of these wild tropical rainforests is still limited. If only for the surrounding tribes that add up to one or two thousand people, they can barely supply, but the army of tens of thousands of people will definitely be out of play. So on the third day after the start of the siege, the goblins had to send a large number of people to collect supplies farther away.

So this group of goblins looted all available materials around them like locusts, and at the same time caused almost devastating damage to the surrounding environment.

But even in this case, the resources in the jungle nearby could not provide the legion for too long, and this forced the goblins to send a large number of people to collect resources further away.

So when the first batch of reinforcements arrived, there were only about 20,000 goblins in the besieged city, so many defensive positions can be said to be empty. This is why the supporting army can make breakthroughs from the positions on the offensive side and enter the fortress smoothly with a small price and extremely fast speed.

The human side as the guardian is much better than the goblin in this regard. The contact has not been stopped, and because the besieging goblin has neither water power nor hinder the river surface~www.wuxiahere.com~ Welfare] Give you a cash red envelope!

Every few days there will be ships coming from the port of New Sauer to replace some personnel and send in supplies, so now the overall atmosphere of the fortress is good. According to a soldier, they can defend the offensive goblins in this fortress. Can't hold it.

This is why Lawrence and the others sent reinforcements into this fortress one day in advance. Cheering for the people in the fortress is only a very secondary reason. The most important reason is that the goblins who attacked the city realized that not only humans would not give up. At the fortress, it will be reinforced in a short time.

After discovering the human plan, the goblin really gathered the hands of those scattered around to gather resources, just as Lawrence had previously guessed, and concentrated all of his own forces to create a large number of simple weapons and armors to prepare for a battle with humans. A large-scale decisive battle on the front of the field.

Because for the goblins, if they refuse to fight hard at this time, then they can only give up the fertile land they occupy.

After all, the advancing tactics of human bunkers are too restrained from their small-scale attacks. And if they can severely inflict human encouragement forces and pull out this blue mountain pass fortress, then they can prevent humans from eroding their living space step by step for a long period of time.

Although the goblins are relatively courageous. However, they have high morale when they feel that they have advantages, especially in terms of numbers. And now the army on the island is a little more than 2,000 even if humans are added. The goblins feel that they have a 20-fold advantage in numbers, and their morale is naturally extremely high.

After learning that the reinforcements would arrive at noon tomorrow, the fortress immediately started harassing shooting outside the city in shifts. The infrequent but continuous shells and bullets immediately annoyed the goblins.

Although not many people were killed with each shell or bullet, the practice of randomly selecting one or a group of lucky goblins to ask them to eat bullets or shells kept the goblins in a state of tension.

The guards of the previous fortress did not carry out this kind of attack because they considered their own shortage of manpower. If this group of goblins gave them this way, it would be much more difficult for them to defend the fortress than it is now. But now as the human reinforcements are coming soon, the goblins can only bear these casualties silently.

Because if it is this time that you can't bear to run and attack the human fortress, the situation is likely to turn into a situation where your side will take down the broken fortress after paying tragic casualties and watch the fortress defenders leave by boat. Then in the early morning of the next day, with the already broken and exhausted army against the main force of mankind.

However, this practice of only being beaten but not fighting back still greatly damaged the morale of the goblins, so the goblins had to leave the camp overnight to hide in the woods farther from the fortress. This directly led to the fact that it took longer for the goblins to react when Lawrence landed on a large fleet with 1,700 reinforcements the next day.

"It seems that everyone has done a very good job." Through the telegram, Lawrence already knew about the harassment operations launched by the guards last night. And now, after watching the goblins hurried out of the line from the woods, he realized for the first time that the effect of the raid battle last night was much better than what he had imagined before.

"What should we do next, or push it like the previous plan?" Looking at the enemies constantly pouring out of the woods, Nora, who is now flying in the air, sends Lawrence to update the current battlefield in real time through the soul connection. The situation asked. "I see that the other party is now leaving the camp, and it feels very chaotic. If we take the initiative to make a surprise—"

"The raid is not appropriate now." Lawrence said after looking at the data sent by Nora in his mind for a few seconds. "Indeed, if you make a surprise attack at this time, you can directly defeat the goblin army, but next we estimate that we will hide and hide in the woods with tens of thousands of goblins."

"Compared to that situation, I really think it's more appropriate to fight directly on the frontal battlefield with those goblins."

"Okay, you're right." After hearing Lawrence's words, Nara nodded, then lowered her flying height and searched for the goblin's line and camp with the branches hiding her figure. Soon, she found that the group of goblins had left a hand in the formation.

Considering that the performance of bear goblins in the face of those bullets and shells is no better than ordinary goblins~www.wuxiahere.com~ even because they are bigger and easier to become targets of fire on the battlefield. Therefore, with the exception of a few well-armed bear goblins and a few scattered hobgoblins to provide bodyguards for the chiefs and priests, most bear goblins are sent to the front as grassroots officers.

In this way, even though the goblins who walked out of the jungle looked alike, there were not many elite troops among the goblins inside. The true elite of the goblin is hiding in the camp in the forest, ready to run away. If you launch an attack at this time, the goblins will definitely disperse, and then humans will have a long jungle war.

Soon, the first batch of goblins completed the entire team and rushed to the human defense. On the human side, under the order of Lawrence, the firepower was weakened, and some goblins even rushed to a place ten meters away from the position.

After seeing this scene, the morale of the goblins increased. In just a few minutes, the organized goblin teams began to charge towards the front of the main human army.

As more and more goblins entered the battlefield, their scattered chaos from the beginning slowly became organized, launching wave after wave of charges like a tide.
