The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 232 The Hidden Battle

In the extremely deep underground, there is only the brilliance of the magic river and the magic spar, and the cave is as bright as day.

If there is no sun, here is a small world.

Fortress Commander Colt led his men to stare at the narrow main passage. Although the entire cave could be called huge, there was basically no room for detours.

The battlefield is restricted by this huge long cave.

"Sir! Here they come!"

The scouting cavalry handed the binoculars to Colt in a hurry, and there were dense ratmen and gnolls in sight.

"Ha, that looks scary."

Colt had never been afraid of primitive troops with swords in hand, and ten thousand of them would not be able to breach his fortress unless they were so numerous that they exhausted their ammunition.

But the reason why the fortress defenders dared to stand here was precisely because they hoarded a large amount of food and ammunition, and the problem of drinking water was basically solved.

Later, the magic oil field provided continuous magic support, coupled with enough earth magicians, this fortress was almost invincible.

The Ratman in front of him was gradually transforming from a column to a horizontal formation, and a large number of troops spread out before his eyes. He saw the light cavalry on horseback, the wolf man infantry lined up with spears, and the .
Skirmishers with rifles?
"I must have read it wrong!"

Colt couldn't believe his eyes. He took two steps closer and observed from another angle. There was no doubt that it was a magic rifle, not the original pull-type magic gun!
"It's still a trigger gun!"

Heavenly Father above!Could it be that the spies of the empire leaked the technology to these natives?

But it shouldn't be, I should be the only one stationed in the other world at present, all human soldiers are not missing, and it is impossible for the undead to leak information about the manufacture of firearms.

What's more, Colt is also a gunsmith himself, he knows very well that the technology of spring steel is not so easy to handle!

"The devil has appeared! Our enemy has apparently opened his mind!"

Colt cursed and threw the binoculars to the adjutant, and the adjutant looked at the Ratman suspiciously, and was also taken aback.

"My God! Both wings are full of upright rats holding magic rifles! They also have a full 24 cannons!"

These 24 cannons are the biggest threat to the fortress. As a sharp weapon for siege, if the artillery is concentrated, there is a chance to blast through the walls of the fortress.

Now all the officers and soldiers guarding the city came to their senses. The opponents were not natives with backward technology at all, but industrial countries with comparable technology to them!

"Artillery! Artillery all go to the battle station!"

"Gather the undead and prepare to defend the gap at any time!"

Order after order was conveyed in the fortress, and the officers hurriedly drove the troops to occupy the firing ports.

Just across from them, Ickert also completed the battlefield layout. The guidance team led by Lafayette sent thirteen directional flashes towards the position. These soldiers and horses had already reached the top of the cave. It was with great difficulty that a gap was dug there.

Here, Lafayette can relay guidance very easily.

"Clan Chief, the guidance team is already in place, do you want to launch the doomsday rocket immediately?"

Targaryen pleaded that all the skaven can't wait to see a splendid explosion.

But Ickert is not in a hurry. Finally, he has the opportunity to fight against a comparable opponent. How can he do it without testing the level of other troops.

"Let the artillery fire first."

Ickert gave his order very clearly, and what he asked the artillerymen to do was nothing else but to suppress the enemy artillery.

Whether it's a 45mm gun or a 75mm gun, after being improved by Ickert, they all have a range far beyond the times. If the opponent hasn't realized what double diameter is, there is a high probability that they won't be able to touch him.

What's more, I also have the assistance of artillery shooting meters, as well as the bonus of scouting mages.

The first thing the artillery officers did after receiving the order was to let the familiar take off.

I saw seven magic carrier pigeons flying out of the position. These carrier pigeons can indicate the landing point of the artillery in real time to provide corrections.

The first round of test firing, which is also the heat gun of the new day, was ready in less than 1 minute.

"The distance to the target is 1000 meters! Adjust the artillery firing table! Prepare for the first round of shooting!"

"put!"

Twelve 12mm artillery guns roared first, and the shells fell on the city wall crackling, splashing bursts of mud.

The 96th Artillery Battalion of Sauerland, who was hiding behind the earthen wall, just popped its head.

A veteran said to the recruits under his opponent:
"Look at what I said? It's meaningless to fire from 600 meters away. It sounds like a huge momentum. In fact, only two shots barely hit the city wall where we are."

The recruits boldly observed the depression on the mound, and it was indeed so.

"Yes, as you said, you are really experienced."

The recruit admired, but couldn't help itching.

"So are we going to fight back?"

"No need, just let them waste shells, maybe everyone will bombard each other for a day, and only one unlucky fort will be hit."

As the veteran said, he had already sat down against the wall, took out his cloth bag and began to enjoy the bacon jerky from his hometown.

"Don't be nervous, boy, you just sit down."

"Okay, at your command, sir."

The artillerymen of the Empire began to relax after being nervous for a while, and only the civil mages were working hard to repair the damage to the wall.

The second round of 75mm shells hit, but only rubbed against the wall.

The third round of 120mm mortars shot across the sky and exploded inside the fortress, but the undead and humans took advantage of the cover to find a place to hide. This round of shelling only caused the loss of three undead.

"If you ask me, they probably won't be able to capture this fortress in a whole year. In just one day, their shell stock will be exhausted, and our magic is endless!"

The veteran said optimistically that if Wen De Sole really only had this level, it would indeed be as he said, even if the mineral veins in the territory were wiped out, it might not cause any losses.

But Windsor's artillerymen only showed evil smiles at this time.

"I bet those little guys are relaxing."

"Then it's time to give them some color!"

As the artillery unit established by Ickert, all the Wen Desor artillery rats are proficient in arithmetic. After the magic carrier pigeons passed the information to their respective artillery teams, more accurate shooting was already brewing.

"The artillery group is revised up by 2!"

"Three groups of artillery! Correct 5 to the right!"

"Four artillery groups."

The Ratmen's good artillery quality made them not eager to start shooting, but each corrected their artillery to the best condition.

"Sir! All battery corrections completed!"

"Get ready to fire!"

"Yes! Yes!"
