Heart of Empire Chapter 532: Battle of Emhar

It seems that the Kingdom of Schindler can mobilize a lot of troops, but in fact, Dane dare not send out these troops at will.

The reason is very simple. Now the Duanlongfeng defense line, the direction of Florence, and the battlefields on both sides are in a state of strategic defense. Of course, the military strength is still sufficient, the kingdom's response is decent, and the defense system is relatively solid, but war is full of various accidents. Now the kingdom's defensive power in two directions is only just enough to withstand the onslaught of the undead. Who knows if there will be any special circumstances that will cause the defense line to lose control?

The reserves in Dane's hands seem to be sufficient, but they are all useful. Beware of possible problems in the west and northeast of the kingdom.

What's more, it is impossible for him to keep his kingdom in such a defensive state forever. When the kingdom recovers from the enemy's attack, or when more troops are added to the legion, Dane is bound to launch a counterattack to completely solve the problems caused by the Church of the Damned.

Under such circumstances, how could he mobilize his precious army to other places to help others defend their homes?

He has already made up his mind to reject the Pudli people's request. Of course, a factual refusal does not mean a verbal refusal. After all, Queen Susan Bella's proposal is quite tempting.

Thus, after much deliberation, Dai En planned to send an army over there—three regiments of garrison regiments.

This is also 5,000 people!

Received the order of His Majesty Dane, the Military Department dispatched one of the first batch of graduates of the Military Department of Schindler University, a human named Kulas who had a good evaluation in all aspects of the military department Officer, come and lead this army.

Kuras himself now holds the rank of colonel. With this opportunity to lead the army independently, he got the opportunity to be promoted quickly. Not long after he was promoted to the rank of colonel, he was immediately promoted to brigadier general.

Leading an army alone, without a general rank, how can you get along in Pudri?

As far as Pudry is concerned, what they are looking forward to is of course not a young general, and it is considered support to bring a garrison army to help out. But Dane made it clear that Schindler is also under a lot of pressure, and there are only so few people who can draw out the strength, and there are many additional conditions for sending this support army.

In a word, it's up to you to decide whether you want it or not.

What can Pudley do? They could only pinch their noses in recognition.

It can also be seen from here that Queen Susan Bella really has no bottom line in asking for help everywhere. A second-line army of 5,000 people can bring a lot of benefits to Schindler.

Just as the negotiations with the Pudri people had just ended, the battle situation in the northeast made new progress.

…

On July 25th, a week has passed since the army of undead began to attack the Emhar area, and the fighting situation has changed from the beginning.

Under the persistent offensive of the undead army, Emhar's outer defense zone has been completely broken through.

In the mountains outside Emhar, the bunkers and outposts built by the dwarves have all fallen.

This is different from what the Thunder Dwarf Clan's chief Muken had expected. Originally, he felt that the outer defense zone should be able to hold on for more than a month.

Actually, at the beginning of the war, Chief Muken did not expect any major problems.

Those bunkers and outposts are really hard to fight. For a medium-sized bunker guarded by 20 or 30 people, the undead must invest at least 20 times more troops to attack continuously, and pay hundreds of elite undead casualties. It takes more than two days to conquer the bunker. Moreover, often the defenders will not suffer too many casualties. Seeing that there is nothing to do, the dwarves and human soldiers will withdraw from the tunnel, and then blow up the tunnel to seal it.

In the first four days, it has always been like this. In the outer defense area of ​​the dwarves, there are more than forty bunkers. This is the result of the hard work of the dwarves for more than half a year, almost a year. In four days, the undead exhausted their strength and only pulled out five bunkers.

Through the last three days, things have changed. The speed at which the outer bunkers were captured suddenly increased. Only five bunkers were lost in the first four days, and twelve or three were lost in the next three days.

The reason why the situation has changed like this is mainly because the necromancers, and some liches, went into battle in person.

The defense ability of the dwarf bunker is indeed outstanding, which inherits the hill-like character of this race. However, in the face of the enemy's frontal offensive, the bunker, which appears to be very strong, is not so strong in the face of magic.

Especially the magic mastered by necromancers and liches is very weird.

When the power of the curse corrodes the rock and makes it weak, when the powerful dark magic blasts the rock, when the green plague gas is blown into the bunker under the effect of the wind spell After that, the dwarves and human soldiers stationed in the bunker had no way to continue to hold on.

Of course, in the follow-up battles, Muken can further send dwarf rune mages and human mages to fight against the evil magic of dark wizards and liches, but such a confrontation with the enemy in the outer defense zone , is not very wise, which will weaken Emhar's own magic power which is not too abundant.

Thus, the Muken patriarch simply ordered to abandon the outer defense zone.

After some symbolic resistance, Emhar's defense forces all retreated back to the huge and strong gate of the dwarf city, and gave the outside to the undead.

On July 29th, the undead finally passed through the rugged mountains and reached the gate of Emhar.

Tens of thousands of undead gathered on the vast platform in front of the gate of Mount Emhar, which is indeed very spectacular.

Spectacularly disgusting.

"From such a distance, I can smell the stench of those dead people."

The person who said this was a female elf officer with a double blade on her waist standing on the head of Emhar City. Her name was Sharta, and it was Delin's Fifth Army who was stationed in the city. The commander of this unit at Emhal, a colonel officer.

There are many elves in Schindler, especially in the army. However, in fact, except for the Cormyr sub-corps, among other royal regiments, it is rare to see elf officers.

However, except for the Fifth Legion. The reason is simple. The Fifth Army itself was mobilized from several other main armies, and its composition structure was relatively complicated.

Shalta was transferred from the Cormyr Sub-Army when the Fifth Army was established. Within the Fifth Army, after being transferred several times, he finally became the military chief of the Emhar garrison, directly obeying the dual leadership of Major General Delin and Chief Muken.

At this moment, standing next to this female officer is the patriarch of the Leiting clan, Muken Leiting.

Mulken was a very old and powerful dwarf. He is the supreme officer of Emhart. When Emhart was just built by Dane from the "Dynasty Heart" system, he appeared with Emhart.

At that time, Muken was already a powerful thunder messenger. At that time, he had at least twelve professional levels. Then, as the level of Emhar's main base increased, Muken's strength also increased a lot. Up to now, he is already an out-and-out level 16 thunder messenger. Moreover, it is estimated that as long as Emhar's level is raised to the level of a sixth-level base, he will be able to cross a hurdle and become a legend, right?

Of course, Emhar wants to upgrade to level six, which is still far away. In fact, this dwarf city is still a little far from the fifth level.

Hearing what the female officer said, the dwarf lord whose height was not up to her waist laughed loudly, and said, "I'm going to fight with these skeletons and carrion later. I feel sick now?"

"The loathing for them will only make me destroy them better."

"Well said!" Muken praised and said, "However, before that, let my boys teach these filthy creatures a lesson!"

After saying that, the Muken patriarch turned around and shouted at the rows of dwarves standing on the city wall: "The enemy has entered the platform, all open fire! Blow up these bastards!"

After the voice fell, the dwarves shouted like a tsunami-this is a race that is notoriously loud.

The voice after the cheers was even louder—it was artillery and muskets!

The alchemy cannon made by the dwarves is better than the one produced by the White Wolf Castle. This is a racial advantage. Although the places where the two races build cannons are called 'cannon workshops', you must know that in Emhar, there is also a special race building called [Artisan Association].

This special ethnic building can greatly increase the quality of products produced by various craftsmen.

The shells fired by the dwarf artillery are far more powerful than the human artillery. It also kills the enemy in an explosive way. The shells of human artillery can't compare to the fireball technique thrown by a mage. However, the power of dwarf artillery is generally much higher than that of fireball.

This power is almost two or three times worse.

As for the dwarf musketeers, they are the second-level arms of the dwarf race. These soldiers holding dwarf muskets may not be as accurate as the elf rangers, but—the musket fires fast, only a little slower than the human crossbowmen, but they are more powerful than the human crossbowmen Not a lot. As for range, it's not as good as a ranger's longbow, but it's certainly better than a crossbow.

In short, this is a very unique unit.

Cannons and muskets fired wildly. Standing on the solid city wall and the shooting holes left on the wall, the dwarves began to harvest the souls of the undead.

Facing the firepower, the army of undead tried to rush towards the city gate, but found that they couldn't rush up at all. After trying for ten or twenty minutes, they receded. And within this period of time, the attacking undead army suffered at least two thousand losses.

As for Emhar, although he also suffered some long-range counterattacks, such as the evil spirit rays of some wights, and the magic attacks of some liches and necromancers, the losses were not great. Emhar is not those small bunkers. The walls and battlements are much stronger, and they are not so easy to be destroyed. The soldiers are relatively safe hiding behind the firing holes. And those runes engraved on the city gates and walls also have quite poor anti-magic ability. Before the power of magic hits, it will be weakened first, and then part of the power will be disintegrated when it hits the city wall. , There are very few that can really play a role.

On the contrary, the undead who were exposed to the artillery and muskets and the arrows of the crossbowmen did not have such good luck. There are a large number of them and they are quite crowded. Under the intensive long-range strikes, the losses are very large.

This is inseparable from Emhart's design.

The area before the gate of the dwarf city is a platform. It seems that this platform can allow the attacking side to gather forces and exert some numerical advantages, but this is actually a trap.

The dwarves attach so much importance to their own city, and their defensive measures in all aspects have almost reached the limit, how could such a big loophole be exposed for nothing.

Look at the terrain of this platform.

The entire platform is so wide that it is almost equivalent to the city gate and city wall of Emhar. Here, it is enough to line up an army of tens of thousands of people.

However, while the width is good, the depth is not. From the top of the city, the artillery can completely cover all the places from the city gate to the end of the platform, and the muskets are similar. Maybe the crossbowmen have a slightly shorter range, which will be awkward, but even the crossbowmen can Covers two-thirds of the distance.

On the other side of the platform is a rugged mountain road. It is very difficult to walk there, and there are very few soldiers who can walk up to the platform from the mountain path at the same time. The mountain road is only so wide, and it would be too crowded for two human-sized creatures to walk side by side, let alone a large army.

In the defensive strategy of the dwarves this time, it can be seen that they made full use of this terrain advantage.

When the undead just poured out from the mountain path~IndoMTL.com~The muskets and artillery were very quiet, and they were not in a hurry to get mad. And when the army of the undead poured in four or five thousand, filling almost half of the entire platform, Emhar's powerful defensive firepower began to show its power.

In the platform, the dense formation of undead, in the face of powerful firepower, of course, the loss will not be small.

At this time, their situation became very embarrassing.

Attack, the strength is slightly insufficient, no one dares to expect that four or five thousand undead will be able to break down the magnificent city wall and gate of Emhar; and if you choose to retreat, then the only way back is the very narrow mountain road Go, the speed of retreat is quite slow.

No matter how these undead choose, they must be baptized by artillery fire on this death platform.
