Chapter 646 The head-to-head confrontation of the Great Battle of Nuer
The first to attack was not Tamukhan and his Chaos army, but Nur's defenders.
Hundreds of mortars, heavy cannons and dozens of Hellstorm rocket launchers opened fire at the same time, and the entire sky was suddenly shrouded in dense rocket launchers and cannon shells. As the Chaos army marched, the long-range firepower of the Nuer army first destroyed these Chaos.
The Chaos army bombarded everyone, and the continuous artillery fire did not save any ammunition. The Chaos army suffered huge losses on the way forward. Many Chaos warriors and beasts were torn into pieces, and their blown limbs were flying all over the sky.
.
But Chaos will not stop for this reason. Now, the city of Nur, the savior Ludwig, has appeared in front of him, and the Throne of Chaos is within reach. Almost all Kurgan men who believe in Chaos,
The beasts and the behemoths who appeared with Tamu Khan forced their charge against the terrifying artillery fire from Nuer. After two rounds of artillery fire, each phalanx of the imperial defenders gradually began to see clearly what was ahead of them.
The appearance of evil creatures.
Those tall and mighty Kurgan warriors, those Chaos eggs that completely transformed into monsters, those beastmen exuding body odor and savagery, and those Chaos warriors with pus and serous dripping from their whole bodies, have been in peace for decades.
Nuer soldiers, even if they had experience fighting against beasts and green-skin tribes, could not help but tremble when they saw these terrifying enemies. Some began to shake involuntarily, and some were even so frightened that their hands trembled, and their minds were full of thoughts.
It's the thought of retreating.
But the Imperial Army did not collapse.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"For this city, for the hometown of the savior, for the baroness, for the empire, for Charlemagne!"
An imperial general rode an elite war horse produced in Iveyland, running between the imperial army formations. He was the city's oldest veteran, Grand Marshal Nur, Erstein.
The veteran held his head high, his long beard and his black cloak constantly moving between the military formations. Marshal Noor held his head high: "Fight bloody to the end! We have no retreat!"
Like a flame thrown into the whole pyre, seeing Generalissimo Nur appear in front of the battle, the imperial soldiers only felt the blood burning in their chests. The fighting spirit of the whole army gradually rose, and countless people
Shouting the holy names of Charlemagne and the savior Ludwig, military songs and roars came one after another.
The empire has been facing enemies from all sides for two thousand years. Countless human soldiers have made valuable sacrifices to protect their land, their compatriots, and their homes. Today is no exception.
Nuer's soldiers swore poisonous oaths while shouting wildly, and they would definitely let the chaos bastards know how powerful Nuer was!
Like forest spear formations, like locust arrows, and the terrifying barrage of Nur musketeers, something beyond Tamukhan's expectation happened. The imperial army actually withstood the first wave of the Chaos army's onslaught.
!
The first wave of the Chaos army's onslaught stalled after losing more than three thousand people.
But it doesn't matter, Tamu Khan knew that his first wave of attacks was just a test.
The imperial army's defensive front was very long, roughly forming a line from outside the city of Nuer, occupying the advantage of high ground, relying on the Wesen and Ivey rivers as natural defensive barriers to snipe the entire Chaos army with all its strength.
Although this arrangement can form a defense in depth, Tamu Khan does not believe that this line of defense has no weaknesses.
Immediately after the first wave of attacks, Nurgle's Chosen Champion found a weakly defended spot by the Imperial forces.
It was an imperial camp backed by a dam on the Aiwe River. There was an entire regiment of garrison troops and an entire artillery battalion there. However, Tamu Khan soon discovered that this army called the Blood Dance Infantry Regiment was just a group of soldiers.
Nuer's many minor aristocratic children, imperial militia and backward ordinary cannons formed a ragtag crowd, so Tamu Khan immediately shouted to the faithless Sai: "Say! Take your people and attack there!"
The trumpet sounded, and tens of thousands of Dougan cavalry troops were dispatched.
The torrential sound of horse hooves announced that the tide of the plague army had made its first huge wave. The Faithless Sai sat on his own Daugan Chaos Mammoth War Elephant, smiling crazily, and he raised the hand in his hand.
The staff pointed directly at the target: "Deal it!"
"Beep~woo~" Tens of thousands of Kurgan raider riders and tribal warriors from Daoergan rushed towards the camp in front of the dam. They withstood the attacks of muskets and artillery, and directly crossed the horse fence and barbed wire fence.
and Chopped, Kurgan Riders
They waved their battle axes and battle knives, cutting away waves of pikemen and halberdiers who were resisting them like straw. How could this large army of small nobles and militiamen resist thousands of people?
An attack by tens of thousands of Kurgan cavalry?
The first row of soldiers quickly collapsed. They screamed and kept retreating, giving up their position to the Faithless Sai and his Daugan army. The hurricane of death immediately tore a small hole in the front line.
, and then the entire regiment collapsed. The soldiers composed of militiamen fled in panic. Occasionally, a few warriors rushed forward to face the Kurgan riders, and the outcome was as they wished. The heads, arms and bodies of these soldiers were very different.
They soon split up.
Ten minutes later, the entire infantry regiment completely collapsed. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the infantry regiment leader and the minor nobles decided to launch a desperate counterattack. They formed a small wave of heavily armored knights and attacked directly.
Towards the army of Chaos, but in the torrent of tens of thousands of Kurgan riders in Dauergan, it was like a mantis trying to ride a chariot. In just a few minutes, the shining spots on the knights' armor gradually disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye in the spears and axes of the Chaos cavalry.
Chop it down.
The Faithless Sai raised his staff, and from his throne poured out countless thunderbolts, lightning bolts, and evil spells on everything in front of him. Behind him, the eager beastmen and chaos eggs were about to create a terrifying atmosphere of massacre.
Push to the top.
In the end, Dougan's army successfully crossed the Asher Dam and completely annihilated the entire Imperial infantry regiment. What was left behind them was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Now, a small opening was opened in the Empire's seemingly impenetrable defense line.
.
Marshal Nur Erstein immediately noticed the changes in the battle situation. In the rapidly changing battle situation, he immediately realized what he should do.
"Graf! Take your people and resist that group of cavalry!" Marshal Nur immediately gave the order: "Immediately!"
An imperial general ran over quickly and shouted: "Understood! How long do I need to resist?"
"Resist as long as you can!" Erstein shouted.
"Yes!" Imperial General Graf immediately led the Nur "Grey Men" regiment to the front line. The addition of new troops stabilized the battle situation. Upon seeing this, the Faithless Sai snorted coldly and ordered the entire tribe's army to continue advancing.
Ryan and others are leading a large group of knights composed of Imperial Knights and Britannia knights who are paying close attention to the battle situation. The war has just begun and it is not time to dispatch the knights yet. Sulia is fully armed and staying at Ryan
Next to her, seeing such a tragic battle situation, she was a little moved, and Ryan immediately shook his head.
It's not time yet.
At this moment, the empire's central army also turned into a hell. The Chaos army under Tamu Khan and the imperial army began to engage in fierce exchanges of fire along the entire front. The imperial army refused to give in to the defense line.
The musketeers and crossbowmen opened fire wildly, and the story of blood and killing was unfolding outside the towering walls of Nuer City.
"Boom!" At this time, a huge muffled sound sounded from the formation of the Chaos Army. Almost everyone in the entire battlefield raised their heads subconsciously, and a huge dark red fireball soared from the formation of the Chaos Army.
Then, a blazing light seemed to rise for the first time
Two suns, the sparks flying on the surface of the fireball bathed the entire empire's army in a rain of fire. Then the artificial sun rushed straight to the ground. When it hit the ground, the strong explosion and flames made the entire battlefield feel this.
A huge impact.
The Chaos Dwarves appeared on the stage. The gray-white prophet Drazhoth soared into the sky on a flaming golden bull, leaving a large black smoke behind the giant beast. A huge army of Chaos Dwarves entered the battlefield.
Behind this group of Chaos Dwarves were seven or eight demonic steam armored trains, filled with the war machines of the Chaos Dwarves.
"For Zal-Nagrond! For Hasut!"
"For Hasut!" The Chaos Dwarves made a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, praising their god Hasut.
Tamurkhan and Sai the Faithless were extremely disgusted and scornful of the actions of the Chaos Dwarves, especially Tamurkhan, the chosen champion of Nurgle, who knew why the Chaos Dwarves arrived late.
The Gray Prophet lets them be used as cannon fodder! Wait until they are in close combat with the Empire before appearing to reduce losses!
But thinking about the siege weapons of the Chaos Dwarves, both Sai the Faithless and Tamu Khan knew not to fall out at this time. They could only hold back their anger and order Drazhoth to launch an attack as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the range of the Chaos Dwarf's war machine is obviously shorter than the range of the entire Nuer artillery. Balls of flames rose into the sky and then fell. The sound of the explosion could even be heard clearly by the women in the palace of the Elector of Nuer.
It was clear, but the giant fireball emitted by the hell cannon landed dozens of meters away from the imperial position and stopped. Not only did it not bomb the imperial artillery, but it hit a dozen Kurgan tough men and a few
The Chaos Warriors exploded into ash.
The same goes for other artillery pieces. The first salvo fired by the Chaos Dwarves failed to produce any results. Instead, it killed hundreds of Kurgan Marauders and many Chaos Warriors.
"Damn it, damn it!" Gray Prophet Drazhoth cursed in a low voice. These four Chaos Hell Cannons were all damaged to varying degrees. Even after emergency repairs, they could not be fully restored. The range, power, and accuracy
All have been affected.
"...Counterattack! Artillerymen! Use your weapons and fire at the enemy!" Marshal Nur immediately realized what a good opportunity this was. He loudly ordered the imperial artillery and engineers of the Nur Gunnery Academy.
: "Destroy the war machines of those Chaos Dwarfs! For Charlemagne, for Ludwig, and for the Empire!"
"For the Empire!" When the Imperial Artillerymen saw how powerful the Chaos Dwarf war machines were, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Seeing that the Chaos Dwarves' war machines seemed to have insufficient range, they immediately realized that this was
What a good opportunity, the artillerymen immediately returned to their posts and reloaded the cannons.
"Boom~boom boom~"
Nuer's artillerymen controlled the cannons and mortars with full firepower. Countless shells roared across the sky with smoke rising, and then hit the head of the Chaos army hard.
The number and rate of fire of the Empire's artillery far exceeded that of the Chaos Dwarves. Their artillery coverage attacks caused heavy losses to the Chaos Dwarf artillerymen and they were also bombarded to the point where they could not lift their heads. The Chaos Dwarfs' war machines were originally designed specifically for siege.
They were at a disadvantage both in terms of rate of fire and attack range. Many mortars and demon cannons were destroyed by Nuer's artillery before they could reach effective shooting range.
But the war machines of the Chaos Dwarves also have advantages. With the addition of vicious alchemy and demonic power, as long as their artillery can hit the target, just one shot can destroy the heavy cannon or mortar produced by the Nur Military Factory.
The nearby artillery bombarded them into a ball of molten iron slag. On the contrary, the Chaos Dwarf's war machine was much stronger and would not easily lose its combat capability without repeated strikes.
Is that it? After paying a huge price, the Chaos Dwarves finally reversed their disadvantage and launched a thrilling artillery battle with the Imperial Artillery.
As a result, the offensive pressure of the Chaos army was greatly reduced. When he saw that Nur's cannon and mortar positions were busy engaging in artillery battles with the Chaos dwarves' war machines, Tamu Khan issued another order.
He ordered his army of Rot Knights led by Nurgle Champion Kha'Zix and Chaos Air Force led by Chaos Dragon Knight Auerbach-Poisongut to start attacking. At the same time, he shouted loudly as the ogre "Mountain Breaker"
Order the entire plague ogre tribe and plague trolls to attack the human position!
Seeing that the Chaos army was about to launch a full-scale attack, a small chaos began to appear in the empire's military formation, but Grand Marshal Noor kept shouting loud slogans in the military formation, praising Charlemagne and the savior.
Ludwig's name
Words, under his encouragement, Nur's imperial army has become a group of madmen who are desperate for their own safety. Facing the fierce attack of the Chaos army, the imperial army refuses to give up. They rush forward one after another, using their bodies to fight against the oncoming Chaos warriors.
The Iron Cross Skull Battle Flag that symbolizes the Empire, the Golden Lion Battle Flag with Black Background Libra that symbolizes Nuer, and the Golden Griffin Battle Flag that symbolizes Ludwig the Savior have never fallen!
The minions of Chaos erupted into horrifying war cries from time to time, and the bravest soldiers responded with loud curses. Thousands of muskets fired collectively as the Chaos Knights approached, and all the Chaos Knights in the first row fell to the ground.
Unfortunately, most of the knights in the second row were shot and fell to the ground full of craters and mud. Plague Ogres and Chaos Trolls also fell to the ground one after another in such a dense hail of bullets.
However, in the end, the Chaos Knights headed by the Rotten Knights led by Kha'Zix the Defiler finally approached the Empire's position. The Imperial generals gave orders loudly, and the Halberdiers and Pikemen formed several solid rows.
They plan to use their bodies to resist the impact of these Chaos Knights.
"Ha, little bug!" Nurgle Champion Defiler-Kazik let out a sarcastic laugh. He waved the hooked sickle in his hand and killed three Imperial Halberdiers in one strike. The blood was boiling hot.
and limbs flying everywhere are the best sacrifices to the evil god of chaos.
Just as it said, the seemingly indestructible Imperial army formation was vulnerable to the charge of the Chaos Knights. The poor infantry were crushed under the iron hooves in an instant. The knights screamed and pierced and knocked away one after another with lances.
One's body, while those Chaos mounts opened their skeletal mouths, chewing and devouring fresh trophies with the venom splashing in their mouths.
The empire's first line of defense began to falter.
Tamu Khan immediately seized this opportunity. He immediately ordered the unfaithful Say, who was still fighting with the dam defenders, to immediately devote all his troops to defeat the empire's right-wing troops and occupy the entire dam!
At the same time, Ryan also started to take action.
"Calard! Theodore!"
"exist!"
"Go to support the Chinese army immediately! Bring me the head of the Nurgle Champion!"
"Yes!" Kalad responded loudly, and he immediately led a large group of knights to support the imperial army.
"Littlebird!" Ryan's face was expressionless as he continued to order.
"Here!" Blackheart Lepp led the Freelancers in response to Ryan's order.
"Follow our previous plan!"
"Yes!" Black-hearted Lepp immediately took the order, and he also led a regiment of more than a thousand free cavalry to rush out of the position.
"Sulia!" Ryan turned his target to his wife.
"Here!" the female knight responded coldly, she couldn't wait to join the battle.
"Now, let's go to Crow Dam and meet the Kurgan cavalry of the Daoergan tribe!"
"Understood!" More than three thousand troops, mainly composed of knights and pistol cavalry, rolled towards Crow Dam.
