Chapter 46 The Burning Mousetrap
Chapter 46 Burning mouse clip
"Sir, sir, get up quickly, the Senke Federation is ready to counterattack..." In the early morning, the urging of my subordinate guards interrupted my sleep for less than four hours. When I heard the word "counterattack" in a daze, I immediately jumped out of bed. No matter who fights, I should be there. Even if I don't have my share of fighting, it's better to know more about the situation in this world, so as not to be ruined by the perverted army like the berserkers.
Under the service of the guards, I quickly put on light leather armor. Originally, the division commander should have worn armor, but my personal strength was not enough to even run after wearing it. In the end, I could only wear leather armor. I wiped my face randomly, and I quickly ran out of the military tent and ran towards the army that had already gathered.
Hey, I didn't want the deputy assigned by Sack to me, so I directly let Matthew, the former head of the guard, take the position of deputy division commander. Unexpectedly, when I proposed, Sack didn't object at all, or he thought Matthew was his person, so he was assured, right? And I also need to directly promote my subordinates to increase my prestige and increase my support for me. So, before I could order this morning, Matthew had already brought his own old subordinates and sorted out the team before I appeared.
"Sir, all the four brigades you belong to have gathered, please give me instructions!" Seeing my arrival, Matthew's eyes flashed with tears. Damn, I just promoted you, don't be like this, right? But thinking about it, it turned out that he was just a deputy brigade leader, and he joined in the name of the squadron leader after coming to me. But in just a few days, he became the deputy division commander, only one step away from the top of the army, and even a small step away from the aristocratic class.
"Well, you did a good job. In the future, you should use more snacks in military management. You also see, my speed of promotion? As long as our troops are expanded to other legions, what will your future prospects for promotion in the future? So, do it well, I will not treat you badly..." After a short sentence, Matthew's eyes were as hot as two 200-watt light bulbs installed... glowing.
"No need to say anything, let the soldiers bring the things they made yesterday and go to the front to see the situation. Those damn berserkers rushed me yesterday like rats crossing the street. Today I will brais first, and then let them see what strength is...well, or perverted strength..."
Without saying anything, Matthew just saluted me, and then quickly dragged the equipment to the front of the position with his soldiers. Beside me, he was a strong soldier specially arranged by Matthew, more than 2 squadrons (10 people are squadrons, 100 people are squadrons, 1000 people are brigades, 10,000 people are a division, and 5 divisions are a legion). However, he himself fell to the point of helping the soldiers push the "mouse clip" together due to insufficient manpower.
"Hanlong, are you here? Why are you preparing...uh! What are these? This can't stop those berserkers from how long!" Seeing me strides coming to the formation, behind me, "Rat clips" and other strange things being pushed by Matthew and others, Sak pointed at the mouse clips with disappointment.
"Sir, these are my meeting gifts to those berserkers. You will see many unexpected gains later. If you don't object, then I will let my subordinates arrange it."
"This, okay! It has been made anyway. It can have the best effect, and it can slow down the speed of those berserkers at the least. Looking at the T-shaped objects that are upside down, with a maximum of 8 meters, Sak could not tell at all. Those things are like arrow blocks, but the stand that is upright is too high, and those hollow pillars can block the berserkers' chops several times? I guess they were cut off by those monsters in less than two swords...
When I pulled out the 100 crossbows and nearly a thousand super-large coffins that I had worked hard yesterday, and when I was lined up in front of the position, the strange arrows on the crossbows disappointed Sach again. The sharp arrows were missing, but what replaced them was a large number of bamboo tubes as thick as thighs. Can these be killed by the berserkers? Even the sharp metal arrows did not work. Are those things used to tickle them?
The more numerous carts, which are 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, are even more confused by Sach and other officers. These things, except for a thick wooden board in front and nearly a hundred ropes tightened behind, are not even a pinhole in the rest. Can this thing hurt people? It's a joke... This is the idea of almost everyone except Sach and Carcent, etc....
"Sir, all the equipment has been sorted out, the oil on the mouse clamp has been filled, and the net bag on it has also been hung. As long as the baffle is put down, I guarantee that the mice will not be able to run out in our first round of attack..." After everything was arranged, Matthew ran over to report to me timidly. After all, he was promoted to deputy division commander. In the past, there would be a chance to meet so many senior officers at close range. No wonder this was like this.
"Okay, keep on being alert and see my signal execution plan." From the telescope, I have seen everything. The soldiers hung the net bag and smashed the four wheels below to prevent sliding (the method of making wheels: find big trees with round diameters, then use them to 5-8 cm a piece, and then punch a hole in the middle and install it on the axle) and poke the fat that sealed the oil holes on the high-end plate, and then quickly retreated.
Soon after, the soldiers from the Senke Federation Army came out of the city were also arranged in an array and ready to start attacking. It seemed that they thought they would be fine if they destroyed my catapults and crossbows yesterday.
"Hanlong, what do you think about the current situation? They used berserkers to fight the vanguard! Behind were infantry from more than one legion, and there were light cavalry from a half division and infantry from two divisions. It seemed that they were preparing to solve the problem in one go..." Seeing the enemy's army formation, although Sak did not show any panic, I still heard his concerns about the situation from his tone.
Through the telescope, I clearly saw about 7,000 berserkers standing at the forefront of their infantry phalanx... I fainted, were the injured berserkers all finished? Didn't it mean that magicians could save them? But it's best to die, and I can be more relaxed even if I finish them all...
"Have the infantry and auxiliary troops retreated?"
"Sir, they have all taken down. They are already building a second line of defense. If we, Hanlong and our cavalry, cannot stop them, we will retreat there..."
The conversation between Sach and Bavel woke me up and I was still on the battlefield and when the enemy was starting to charge. However, after hearing their words, I realized that when they came to patrol yesterday, I asked me to hand over all the remaining things and supplies to the legion's logistics department. It turned out that they were not so optimistic about today's situation! But thinking about it, did Murray also say that it is easy for ordinary berserkers to fight 1 against 10 on the battlefield? Then the 7,000 berserkers in front of me had almost nearly 100,000 troops. No wonder they were like dead from soldiers to officers...
With a loud shout, the Senke Federation Army rushed up like a tide and rushed towards the big meal I prepared for them. Almost in the blink of an eye, the berserkers rushed under the defense line I called the mouse clip. Hundreds of racks that were 10 meters wide and 8 meters high blocked the entire Imperial Army's defense line.
When those neatly arranged Berserkers stepped on the bottom plate of the inverted T-shaped bracket, unexpected situations happened to everyone on both sides. When the Berserkers raised their knives and had not yet chopped them up, the brackets fell down in the direction of them. (If you still remember the movie A of the Plan starring Jackie Chan, then you may still remember the scene when the large billboard fell down, but the range and length were a little larger, and a net was added behind the billboard)
After a storm, they smashed the entire fallen bracket to pieces, but their bodies were stained with watery objects splashed out from the brackets...
"Fire Crossbow Attack!" At the right time, an order that was hated by the berserkers was promptly issued to the ears of every crossbowman. More than 200 crossbow arrows with fire were instantly penetrated into the unlucky people who were trapped in the net and temporarily unable to escape...
The sound of the bamboo tube hitting... Then the bamboo tube burst in front of the crossbow arrow... The fuel inside the bamboo tube was ignited by the flames outside the bamboo tube and scattered... Then, almost all the soldiers who had just chopped the bracket and were splashed with grease poured into the bracket were surrounded by the flames in an instant...
Almost all the warring parties were stunned by the scene in front of them. In the area nearly 1,000 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide, it is almost the same as the Hell of Yama. All the soldiers engulfed by the flames were wailing in great pain. The cry for help spread throughout the earth. The soldiers who rushed up from behind almost desperately tried to save their comrades trapped in the sea of fire...
In the next chapter, a perverted thing will appear.
