Chapter 290: The decisive battle on (limited exemption will start tomorrow, you can come and see)

Through the piecemeal information collected one after another, the staff quickly analyzed what happened this time: after Ryan and the others killed many of the Dolasks before they went south, Khao Drogo, the most powerful Karasa, discovered this situation. After all, looting is the main source of income for the Dorask people, and they will never allow the goatmen who were their wanton looting to have the power to resist. So he decided to use a decisive battle to completely defeat the resistance of the Lazarin people.

Khal Drogo used the excuse of getting married to gather the Khals of various Karrathas. After marrying his wife, he did not immediately hold the wedding according to the custom, but directly brought his wife and army who did not complete the wedding to try to raid Raza directly. He declared at the gate of the city of Pentos that he would conquer the Lazarins completely, and celebrated his wedding with countless wealth and slaves.

Obviously, rumors such as the previous wedding were also spread by him. He hoped that the Lazarins would relax their vigilance. Fortunately, Ryan didn't fall for this.

The Dorask cavalry that came and went like the wind had always been a nightmare for the Lazarins, but after defeating a series of elite troops from the slave city-states, the Lazarins also established their self-confidence. Everyone also knows that the war with the Dorasks is bound to break out, but they just don't know when.

No soldier was intimidated after Lane announced that a decisive battle would break out within a week. Many soldiers even felt relieved. After all, they had already prepared a lot of time for this war.

The war machine was running, Ryan and the staff began to deduce the process of war on the sand table, and the soldiers further strengthened the temporary civil fortifications outside the core fortifications, deployed heavy weapons and set up various obstacles.

Finally, with the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, the Dolasks came. This unprecedentedly large army has more than 90,000 people, and they are the best cavalry on this land. These cavalry horsemen are superior to any knight. The light cavalry is their main force. The warriors used scimitars, longbows and whips called arraks. It's just that out of tradition, they don't wear armor, just a painted leather vest.

They wantonly looted the surrounding ethnic groups, and even city-states with elite troops and perfect fortifications needed to pay tribute every year to avoid their attacks.

As their opponent, Lazarin's army has only more than 16,000 people. With Tiemenbao, a modern reinforced concrete fortress as the core, surrounded by World War I-style defensive positions several kilometers deep, trenches, barbed wire, and potato mines are densely distributed. Frontier of position. In the trenches and fortresses, more than 400 steam machine guns and more than 150 small and medium-caliber steam cannons were arranged according to computational science.

At the same time, the fortress also received fire support from more than a dozen steam gunboats in the deep water area near the river behind it and more than 80 large-caliber steam train guns on a railway with the steam robot mobile unit a few kilometers away on the south bank of the river.

Do these cowardly goatmen think that low fortresses and shallow moats can hold us back? Go ahead, kill them and plunder them.

After a simple speech, Drogo commanded the armies of various small tribes to start tentative attacks from all directions, while he brought his headquarters to prepare to focus on attacking after others found defensive weaknesses.

From now on, either death or victory. Think of the humiliation we have been subjected to for hundreds of years. All those who fall back will be shot as traitors, and there will be no mercy for cowards. Of course I will be on the front line, if I If you take a step back, you can kill me directly. Inside the trenches of Lazarin's army, the priests with purple roses painted on their helmets waved their sabers and gave pre-war speeches.

Soon, the tempting cavalry was entangled in the barbed wire, and their bows and arrows could hardly cause damage to the troops in the fortifications. And the Lazarin army, who had hidden most of the firepower, began to fire the cavalry who lost their speed with the wind gun in their hands. There was a state of anxiety on the battlefield.

However, because the Lazarin army did not break out all the firepower. About an hour after the battle, after losing more than 5,000 men, the cavalry finally cleared a number of roads leading to the fortress of the main position.

The total casualties of the Lazarin army at this time did not exceed 100, but the Dothraki on the opposite side did not know this. They only felt that the door to victory had been opened to them, and as long as the large army arrived under the fortifications, these sheepmen would let them slaughter as before.

With a few low-pitched horns, the 40,000 Roaring Warriors of the Dorask Army finally moved. After uniting with other cavalry roaming around, they began to divide into small groups to form a continuous shock formation and charge like Iron Gate Castle.

But they didn't know that the roads cleared were actually fire traps that had been calculated for a long time. After most of the cavalry entered these fire trap areas, Ryan gave the order to fire all the way.

A brown-skinned artillery sergeant was praying silently on the train guns on the railway tracks on the south bank of the river.

May the supreme crystal bless us. After saying the prayer, he looked at the family portrait posted on the side of the gun emplacement, which showed a woman and two children besides him. They used to be slaves of Yunkai, but unfortunately belonged to a different family with the slave owner. They were finally reunited after being freed after Ryan's army broke Yunkaii City.

Because he risked his life to help guide the hiding places of the routed soldiers when Lazarin's army entered the city, he was rewarded with many rewards after the war: his wife got a job in a textile mill that everyone envied, and two children were also sent to school. Out of gratitude, he decided to join the army to defend the fruits of victory because he could read and count. Therefore, after the knowledge of the Supreme Crystal Temple is given (that is, memory instillation in the cloak of mythology, because memory instillation is more convenient for those who master the basic knowledge, these people will have priority), they are assigned to become the commander of an artillery.

Just as he was recalling the past, a sharp and short whistle sounded, and the red light suddenly lit up in the carriage.

Fire at the a3 area. Under his command, the gunner turned the steam valve suddenly, and the 155mm caliber steam cannon on the carriage immediately shot out an extremely thick white mist, and a black shadow was cast. To the distance, leaving a faint transparent trail in the air.

In an instant, the Dothraki cavalry who were charging with the hedgehogs burst into waves of dirt mixed with stumps and broken arms. Then there were many bloody gaps in the neat charge formation.

Although the intrepid Dothraki cavalry still charged forward despite the shelling, the explosion affected the horses beneath them. Horses that had never experienced this before jumped restlessly, making the front lines not as neat as they used to be.

At this time, a short whistle sounded again on the train, and the artillerymen wearing thick lint-woven gloves quickly opened the breech block. The operator on the other side of the artillery cooperated with a probe dipped in water to clean the gun chamber and cool down by the way. The loader then loaded a new shell into the chamber and closed the breech. Thanks to the memory infusion device, it was possible to cultivate so many closely coordinated artillerymen in just half a year.

After seeing from the side instrument that the steam pressure in the gun chamber reached the predetermined value, the gun roared again.
