Chapter 562 The Zigzag Gray Line (IV)

In April of 꾉, the Rhine River defense line.

The soldier wearing a pointed helmet held a wooden dinner plate and leaned against the sandbags. He put the potatoes and beef on the plate into his mouth and discussed the enemy on the opposite side.

The officers were worriedly discussing the attack by the mutant beasts on their position yesterday. If the coalition forces had not filled the gap opened by the mutant beasts with soldiers in time, they might have lost control of a bastion.

No, maybe their line of defense will collapse as a result.

The three biochemical beasts inflicted injuries on three thousand people in Bastion No. 3. In the narrow environment, humans had nothing to do with these large cats and canines injected with mutagens.

Bloodthirsty, agile, and deadly.

The musketeers caught in the scorching street fighting simply couldn't use their weapons to cause enough fatal damage to the flexible mutant beasts. As long as they didn't cause death, they could chew their flesh and blood to recover from their injuries.

In the end, the knights in heavy armor relied on their numbers to kill the mutant beasts one by one in close combat.

The people of the Teutonic Knights can take this opportunity to consider the position of these heavily armored warriors who are gradually out of touch with the times in the new era war system. The high-quality soldiers they have trained with great effort cannot just be abandoned because of the progress of the times. Lose.

It is a fact that the heavily armored knights became unsuited to the battlefield because they relied too much on close combat.

Some spellcasters who were resting in the rear to save energy were temporarily transferred to the trenches, and they would prepare spells to deal with the mutant beasts that rushed up.

Explosive packs were distributed in batches to the front lines, allowing trench soldiers to kill the enemy's monster infantry when necessary.

"There should be no problem with the strengthened trench line... Damn it, who would have thought that those Easterners would bring out such a monster." Ren scolded: "After the strengthened trench line, they would have doubled the mutant beasts. Don't try to rush over."

Quiet.

Today, the other side of the river is as quiet as ever.

There was no movement in the camp outside the range of the cannons. The soldiers hiding in the trenches could only use their rifles, which were not very accurate, to shoot coldly.

At the beginning of the battle, there was a prolonged exchange of fire between the trench lines of both sides, across a ten-meter-wide river.

The three-hour exchange of fire ended up injuring as many as thirty people.

Yes.

In the three hours of shooting, the total number of people involved in the shooting exceeded 4,000, and the total number of both sides only suffered 10 injuries.

The cold guns in their hands have no effect on the soldiers hiding in the sandbags and mud. Frequent shooting consumes a lot of gunpowder...Gunpowder is not a cheap resource for the Teutonic Knights that can be squandered at will. Lin's support gunpowder situation is better, but they need to save gunpowder for siege.

Based on the calculation that each soldier shoots 75-90 times, one person will need to consume 1.1 kilograms of gunpowder in the entire battle, and every thousand people will consume about one kilo of gunpowder.

Four thousand soldiers spent only one afternoon firing with rifles, and they ran out of four-meter gunpowder.

Even if gunpowder of this magnitude was thrown directly into the opposite position, it would be impossible to cause only ten wounds.

The two parties had a tacit understanding and did not actively participate in shooting after that.

"Don't worry, the defense line is absolutely safe. How come the Easterners can't get in after the strengthened defense line?" Feng Laian waved his hand and told his colleagues to be patient: "We only need to sit quietly and wait like this for a month. They will naturally retreat due to pressure.”

"Yes, the territory they captured will probably be cheaper for the Crusaders if they don't build a defense line in time." Renn said: "That's not necessarily a bad thing. If the Crusaders get involved, we will have to bear it. The pressure will be a little bit higher.”

"The next thing we need to consider is how to make the cowards at the rear spit out the meat from their mouths." Von Lane said: "They can't enjoy our shield and remain indifferent. The Teutonic Knights are trying to protect them." Nearly 10,000 yuan of injuries have been paid.”

The two lords belonging to the Teutonic Knights set their sights on the trenches where the hills could be seen in the distance.

Wet soil was packed in sandbags and piled up in one zigzag trench area in the shape of the shore. A black-based military flag was flying farther away from the visual distance.

That was the position of the coalition forces. The coalition forces deliberately set up the position where the cannons were out of reach, but where they could see a little bit.

As for these trenches...

There seems to be nothing unusual, but once this group of Easterners wants to launch an attack, countless soldiers will crawl out of the trenches and attack their bastion along the floating board.

Although plug guns can cause damage to the soldiers in such folded trenches, they do not want to waste precious gunpowder on dealing with the trenches... As von Lane said, they can achieve the final victory as long as they hold on.

There is no need to waste precious gunpowder in trenches that can be destroyed countless times.

Von Lane thought of the story of the Three Kingdoms, oh, the story of the Orientals.

They watched the sun on the far side gradually sinking below the horizon, placing Sky Island Continent in the dividing line of dusk.
