When night came, the dwarves' defense line reached its most painful moment. The Tang Army's elusive attack teams began to be dispatched. These people were simply ghosts in the night.
Like ghosts, these attacking troops can approach the dwarves' defense line silently under the cover of darkness, and then suddenly launch an attack, catching everyone by surprise.
The dwarves had no such thing as night vision devices, and they could not imagine that anyone could see distant targets in the dark night.
So they suffered a lot in the night battle, even without knowing where the enemy was, so they sacrificed their lives.
A dwarf soldier on sentry squatted in the trench holding his weapon. He did not dare to light a fire and could only barely see the nearby rubble and ruins through the bright moonlight.
There must be no fire on the position, otherwise it will easily attract artillery fire from the Tang army. Even in the dark night, the flame of a cigarette can easily reveal one's position and become the coordinates to guide the enemy's artillery shells.
He cautiously stuck his head out and looked around in the moonlight. After confirming that he did not see any suspicious targets, he cautiously retracted his head.
The companion in the crater was biting a piece of bread, which tasted as unpalatable as a stone. When he saw the companion who stuck his head out to observe, he retracted and asked without raising his head: "What's going on?"
Because the Tang army has been raiding at night for the past few days, the soldiers on guard did not dare to sleep. Everyone has heard some rumors that someone fell asleep at night and was wiped on the neck in his sleep.
.
The sentry withdrew his head, adjusted his position, and continued to sit on an empty ammunition box holding his rifle: "Nothing is wrong... everything seems to be normal."
"Everything was normal in the 3rd company's position yesterday... but 25 people died!" His companion chewed hard bread and complained vaguely.
They had retreated two streets, losing building after building, but most of the time they had not seen their enemies.
When they were closest, they saw an enemy armored vehicle in the distance, but because they had no anti-armor weapons, they had no choice but to retreat.
Several other times, they vaguely saw some moving "targets". The enemies wearing camouflage uniforms were almost indistinguishable from the ruins and rubble in the background. Only when they moved could the dwarves identify these hidden objects.
Tang people in the corner.
But at that time, when the Tang Dynasty was exposed, the winner was often decided. The opponent had either completed its mission and retreated, or was already preparing to launch an attack.
"I can't help it... I heard that during our counterattack yesterday, someone picked up something that looked like a scope... Some people said that thing can make people see invisible things!" the sentry said confidently.
My companion talked about a bad thing.
Yesterday, their infantry division couldn't bear it and launched a counterattack. Regardless of losses, they surrounded several Tang soldiers. After paying a heavy price, they killed these Tang soldiers and seized some equipment.
Including high-magnification sights and several monocular night vision devices. These devices have become very valuable trophies, but it is regrettable that these trophies can no longer be sent out of Everwinter Port.
They have been surrounded. There are no scientists or technicians here, so there is no way to study it. They can only conduct simple tests.
Because no prisoners were captured, the use of these devices required careful attempts. In fact, samples had been sent to Moss's headquarters, and he personally tried this thing that allows people to see "the human soul."
Yes, for those dwarves who don't understand technology very well, this thing is simply a metaphysical thing: it seems useless during the day, but you can see an inexplicable red light at night.
It can see the outline of a person, even through walls, without any problem. The dwarves haven't figured out the rules yet, and they don't know that it is a source of heat. They only know that this thing can see the outline of a person, as if they can see a person's soul.
Moreover, it is a piece of equipment that can only be used at night, which adds a touch of mystery to this thing - no matter how you think about it, it has an unspeakable mystery.
Of course, dwarves are not all fools. As long as they are given enough time, they may discover other problems. For example, this thing can also see blazing engines, bonfires, and various objects with heat.
thing.
But this takes time, and what Moss lacks the most is time. He can only urgently report this thing to Ironforge, and is trying to find a way to get this thing out of the encirclement and send it to the rear.
The two dwarf sentries who were talking didn't even notice that the soldiers of the Tang Army had secretly penetrated into their defense line with thermal imaging cameras.
Out of their sight, another group of soldiers on guard had been killed. They were lying on the ground with the blood around them not yet drying up.
While the two people were talking, those ghost-like Tang soldiers sent the sleeping dwarf soldiers to another world one by one.
"Boom!" There was a sound of artillery in the distance, and a shell fell, reflecting the outline of the collapsed building in the distance. This noise covered up other rustling sounds in the darkness, making the two people in the crater
The dwarf sentinel was completely unaware of what was going on around him.
They were still talking about the mysterious equipment that could see the soul for some reason, and they were talking very enthusiastically.
"Those evil Tang people don't know how to study, but they can actually see people clearly at night... I heard that the red ones are very scary." In the dark night, the voice of the sentry who spoke seemed a bit loud. Even in the distant artillery fire
You can hear it clearly in the background.
"Keep your voice down!" his companion reminded him in a low voice. The sound of explosions was heard in the distance again, and a shell hit the building, and the echo of collapse continued for a long time.
"You said it's already this time, why haven't the replacements come yet?" Finally, the two of them felt sleepy, and then they remembered that no one seemed to be coming to replace them.
"Yeah, what's going on? Are those guys lazy again?" Another sentry snorted with some dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to leave his post without permission.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no one to replace their positions. The two men finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Damn guys, I'll settle the score with them later. You can even oversleep like this!"
While cursing, a sentry dug out the crater where he was hiding, climbed over some collapsed low walls, and walked in the dark towards the direction where the troops were stationed. Then, a frightened shout came, echoing in the dark
