It's a pity that the troops of the Northern Dwarf Empire do not have heavy machine guns. Therefore, the tactics of the Ice Kingdom are invincible when facing the troops of the Northern Dwarf Empire!
Unless there are sharpshooters who can barely suppress the machine guns, the troops holding flintlock guns are simply unable to compete with Maxim's level of mass murderer.
What's more, expecting soldiers with flintlock rifles to perform at the pace of a sniper is not an option worth looking forward to.
"Chu, tug, tug!" In the distance, the annoying, uncontrollable and continuous sound of gunfire started again.
The roar of the heavy machine gun is simply a reminder of death, echoing in the ears of the soldiers of the Northern Dwarf Empire, as if it is a kind of pious salvation.
"Damn it! Why haven't they run out of bullets yet? Are their bullets free of charge?" the already slightly desperate commander asked with a cry.
He didn't really want an answer, because he also knew that no one would give him any answer at all. He just wanted to vent, to vent the despair and helplessness of being crushed.
Seeing that the soldiers of the newly added battalion were lying on the ground, they were bombarded twice by artillery and shot by machine guns for several minutes, and then there were not many left.
The soldiers who finally survived were defeated from the front line in fear and retreated to the place where they had just started, only to suddenly find that none of their comrades seemed to have returned.
Although the battalion was not fully staffed at all, it was said that there were more than 400 people in one battalion. In less than half an hour, there were less than 100 left. Anyone who saw this would feel devastated.
The royal flag of the Ice Kingdom flying in mid-air is getting closer and closer to Ironforge, and there are more and more white flags erected around it.
Brave and fearless is just an adjective. When the battle becomes a crushing situation, most people will choose to go with the flow and surrender.
"My lord! My lord!" Seeing his immediate superior looking at a white flag raised high on the flank, the embarrassed battalion captain had no choice but to remind him.
He is still waiting for reinforcements, otherwise, all his soldiers will die on the battlefield! It will not be easy for him to come back. If he retreats casually during the battle, it will easily be misjudged by the supervising team.
"The right wing...it's over!" The commander who came back to his senses felt that his luck had almost ended here today.
The flanking positions have surrendered, and this has become a dangerous front line - this is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is that there is no retreat behind them, and the walls of Ironforge are riddled with holes.
The city wall is just a few hundred meters away.
"Hold on! I have no troops to support you!" The commander glanced at his men and ordered loudly.
"Sir! You can't ignore..." The battalion captain had to keep his mouth shut when he was halfway through his words. Because he saw that his immediate superior had already drawn the flintlock gun from his waist.
"Reserves, follow me! Fix bayonets! Fight back the enemy! Get back the lost positions on the flanks!" The commander with the pistol was not trying to kill others as a warning, but was preparing to lead the charge.
He loudly encouraged his soldiers: "For Ironforge! For the Northern Dwarf Empire! Attack! Attack!"
"For..." The soldiers behind him were just about to shout a tragic slogan together and then charge with their bayonets when their shouts were interrupted by the roar from the opposite side.
"Ula!" The soldiers of the Ice Kingdom who had captured the enemy's position let out a deafening cry. This war was really exciting for them.
The enemy is as vulnerable as a piece of paper. As long as they advance forward, the enemy will quickly collapse and retreat.
To be honest, Moss has never fought such a devastating battle. The battles in the past where he had to fight for a whole morning and finally wipe out 600 enemies were not worth mentioning in the face of this war.
What's more, because the opponent didn't dig any trenches and didn't have any decent defensive positions, several armored vehicles supported by the Datang Group managed to reach the front line and turned into a heaven-defying war machine.
Because of the limited accuracy, the soldiers of the Northern Dwarf Empire cannot use or think of those methods of attacking the wheels.
In addition, the terrain on the battlefield is relatively flat and open, so these armored vehicles really become primitive tanks.
After they appeared on the battlefield, they swaggered in front of the enemy amidst the hail of bullets, and then calmly used the Maxim machine guns above to start firing from a high position.
It is unrealistic to expect a flintlock gun to penetrate the steel plate, especially a hundred meters away. Therefore, those soldiers of the Northern Dwarf Empire who fired their guns from a distance undoubtedly became stupid targets for being shot.
However, even so, the limitations of armored vehicles were undoubtedly exposed in this experimental battle.
Before the enemy could attack, three of the armored vehicles that came from afar broke down and were damaged halfway through the attack.
Of these 10 armored vehicles that went all the way from the rear to the front with great effort, only 6 reached the front. In the end, 3 of them went on strike before entering the war.
Among the remaining three vehicles, one fell into a crater and rolled over, and the driver inside was injured as a result. The wheel of the other vehicle was accidentally hit by a bullet, and it also lost its combat effectiveness midway.
Only one successfully participated in the battle and achieved actual results - it easily captured a small high ground and defeated the 1,000 defenders on it.
It was the appearance of this monster that completely defeated the psychological defenses of the Ironforge defenders, causing surrenders to begin to appear on a large scale.
Hundreds of Ironforge defenders laid down their weapons and handed over their defensive positions. This caused the entire frontal defense line to waver.
By the time the garrison commander finally stabilized his position, it was already the afternoon when the battle broke out.
After finally giving up their lives to gain some breathing time, before the Ironforge defenders had time to eat a late lunch, bad news came one after another.
The first bad news is that the 20,000 defenders in the south were penetrated by the enemy's defense line and almost all were wiped out. They had no choice but to retreat into the city and rely on the city wall to continue to resist.
The second bad news is that the defenders in the north surrendered. When facing the 10,000 Ice Kingdom cavalry troops on the north side, they lost the courage to continue fighting and put down the Cyric flintlocks in their hands.
The third bad news is that because the first two bad news came into the city, the owner of Ironforge, the old Emperor of the Northern Dwarf Empire...he could not breathe and died suddenly...

This is not a make-up today. In fact, I wrote 1,000 more words. I really didn’t write it out. I will continue to make up for it tomorrow...
