Struggle in the Steam Age

The sahuagin, especially those four-armed sahuagin nobles, are actually not low in combat effectiveness. At least in the cold weapon era, these sahuagin warriors and nobles can be regarded as the absolute elite on the battlefield. There have been many times in history that they took crude weapons and tore through the defense line built by the fully armed elite troops of humans in a single charge.

Especially now that the situation on the battlefield has been settled, for those sahuagins who have escaped from the battlefield through untold hardships, if they cannot escape from this trap in time, then wait until the human army clears up all the way. After the murloc army caught up with them from behind, they had no choice but to die.

"Rush over!" A four-armed sahuagin nobleman grabbed a spear with each of his limbs and arms and shouted. The few belts left on his body showed that he should have had a breastplate before, but just now Lost in order to escape. "I have seen the sea, as long as we rush across it, we can live, and the only thing left here is death."

After speaking, this sahuagin nobleman rushed out first, and being driven by him, all the sahuagins on the field also rushed out behind him. Although under normal circumstances they should use those loca murlocs as cannon fodder, but now that the entire battlefield is completely chaotic, they can only charge by themselves.

And surrounded by this group of sahuagins, the rokayu servants who were still a little timid at first also mustered up the courage to follow them up. Because these loca fish people know that human beings may forgive those compatriots who did not join the war, but they will never let them go ashore.

"There are less than 100 of them, let's go!" The sahuayu nobleman looked ecstatically after seeing the more than 80 tauren blocking the middle of this passage, because there are about 300 of them rushing over now, and Half of them are sahuagin, which has a great advantage in numbers.

So he loudly encouraged the murlocs around him, and at the same time threw two spears at the group of tauren in front of him. And behind him, under his leadership, the murlocs also threw out the trident, spear and even the stones they just picked up nearby.

"Ding-ding--" With a series of sounds, these throwing weapons like raindrops all hit the steel-wood composite structure shield that the tauren lifted up easily, and did not hurt anyone.

After seeing this scene, the leading sahuagin nobleman was not discouraged, but mobilized the strength in his body to prepare for the next melee fight.

But what he didn't expect was that the group of tauren didn't raise the axes in their hands as before, but stretched out black spears from the gap between the shields they held and the shoulders of the front row. The barrel was aimed at itself.

After a burst of thunderous gunshots, he and the sahuagin who rushed to the front all flew back with blood dripping from their bodies as if they had been hit by a high-speed hammer.

"How can you use a gun?" The sahuagin nobleman lay on the ground feeling the strength in his body along with the loss of blood from the wound, and at the same time he was full of puzzlement. "Obviously the tauren should fight hand-to-hand, why do the tauren here use guns—"

After all, as a sahuagin nobleman, he had participated in many land invasions before. It is not uncommon to encounter tauren located on various islands. But those tauren with poor equipment used wooden guns and stone hammers, while those with good level used steel armor and various steel weapons. He had never seen the existence of tauren with guns.

But before he could turn the corner in his mind, the tauren put away their firearms, and then surrounded the rest of them with a shield in one hand and a long-handled ax in the other. And when stepping over the above corpses, they also used the spikes at the end of the ax and spear to make up for the murlocs who fell on the ground one by one.

At the last moment of his life, the sahuagin nobleman saw the end of an ax gun that was like a metal spear head inserted into his throat, and then he didn't know anything.

And the tauren who killed him pulled out his ax spear as if he had done a common thing, and then walked forward with the shield in one hand and the ax gun in the other.

"The overall situation is settled." Lawrence said after seeing the group of tauren waving their weapons and rushing into the chaotic group of tauren because the group of elite murlocs who rushed to the front were killed, "It seems My previous choice was correct, and the tauren indeed have stronger fighting power after being equipped with gunpowder weapons."

Lawrence is the first lord in the entire Xingchenhai region to distribute gunpowder weapons to the tauren system, even if he needs to spend more money on the tauren's shooting training because the tauren use custom weapons, He still insists on his approach.

Now it seems that this approach is very meaningful, at least these tauren have burst into unprecedented combat effectiveness after being equipped with gunpowder weapons.

For example, the round of shooting that was almost close to the face just now almost wiped out the elite group of sahuagin rushing forward, and the next job is to deal with the fleeing locagins one last time. hit.

And after Lawrence and the others cleaned up all the murlocs in sight, they immediately organized their men and rushed towards the city. However, when they got to the road, they met the messenger from the city and told them that The enemies on the border have been completely defeated, and the next step is to hunt down this group of sahuagin.

Since several murloc legions launched a surprise attack on the edge of the city and rushed into the island, in the next time, they will send some warships and superhumans to hunt down the murlocs who fled to the sea, and On the one hand, it is necessary to organize people to kill the scattered murlocs that have penetrated into the island.

The hunt lasted until dawn the next day. Except for some Lokayu who were confirmed by the priests to be coerced and were forgiven by humans and temporarily imprisoned, the other sahuagin and the Lokayu who had joined the puppet army voluntarily All the murlocs were killed, leaving no prisoners.

After all, the sahuagin are hostile to all land creatures and would rather die than surrender. In fact, not only will they not surrender like land creatures, but they will basically not surrender to any sea creatures. This is because they think that they themselves are the most perfect creatures, and other creatures are just their food.

Just like people do not surrender like radishes or cabbage, sahuayu people will never surrender to these foods in their eyes.

So now they will fight until the last moment even if they know that they can't retreat at all. Not only that, but they also engulfed many Loka murloc cannon fodder to resist to the death.

That being the case, the human side will naturally not hold back. Therefore, after discovering these fleeing sahuagin troops, they often suppressed them with firepower first, and then dispatched mortars to send them away together.

After the campaign was over, Lawrence counted the losses in the battle, and found that during the entire war, one tauren and sixteen human soldiers died under his command, and more than fifty soldiers were injured. And these casualties were mainly concentrated in the hand-to-hand combat after the sahuagin broke into the trenches during the Peninsula Defense War.

After all, the sahuagin are not completely weak chickens like the freshwater murlocs, and they could even be regarded as a powerful race in the past. If it hadn't been for Safir with Fatina and Lanhua Iron Hoof leading the elite team to plug leaks at any time, the casualties of the military in hand-to-hand combat might have been several times higher.

In the final statistics of the battle results, even if Lawrence and Nora were not counted to eliminate those enemies just now, this army from Sauer Island also eliminated ten enemies with a series of fortifications built before and powerful firepower. The enemy outnumbered him, and blocked the murlocs' attempt to raid the port from the port's left flank.
