Chapter 4 Hadrian's Offensive and Defensive Battle

Such a downpour of arrows. Even the heavy infantry of the dwarves felt a lot of pressure. At that time, during the heyday of Rome, the Roman Empire sent more than 20 reorganized legions, with an army of more than 400,000 intended to conquer the Scandinavia. However, they all failed in the end.

Logistical supplies and the Romans were not adapted to the bad weather in Scandinavia. In addition, the Nordics and the dwarfs fought to the death.

It was at that time that the dwarfs saw the signature tortoise shell formation of the Roman Empire. At that time, the civilization level of the various tribes in Northern Europe was still very low, and they were still rushing forward like a swarm in war. The tortoise shell formation, which requires a high degree of discipline, naturally could not play with them. However, the dwarfs felt like they had a treasure. They quickly learned the tortoise shell formation in the war and have been passed down to this day.

However, despite this, the dwarf clan still maintains a social stage like the tribal alliance. Some powerful tribes can recruit qualified heavy dwarf soldiers. Others are either infantry that like other methods - such as super-spray square formations, or charge infantry with two-handed weapons. Either they are insufficient in strength or insufficient manpower and cannot form such a square formation.

Therefore, when facing the arrows of the English longbowmen who were like heavy rain, the dwarf's side suffered a great loss - it was shot out with a powerful longbow and hit the large shield with gravity acceleration, just like a large piece of hail falling from the sky. After all, the shield was arc-shaped and could indirectly remove some of the strength. However, despite this, the crackling rain of arrows still made many elite dwarfs quite difficult - if you don't do it well, the shield was bounced away by the impact of the arrow rain, or shifted a little bit - and then the leaking rain pierced the dwarf's flesh without mercy. Then, the unlucky dwarf warrior groaned and fell down. The tortoise shell formation only had a gap.

At this moment, if it was replaced by the tortoise shell formations of other barbarian villages, it would probably be helpless. However, the dwarf learned a complete set - and even improved it on the basis of the tortoise shell formation. Of course, it was not afraid. The entire tortoise shell formation changed slowly, just like a puzzle module. At the same time, step forward at the back and subtracted one row in the end. The entire tortoise shell formation returned to normal.

The legendary tortoise shell formation can minimize the damage of long-range projected weapons. However, other dwarf soldiers are not so lucky - the dwarf super-gun warriors are not suitable for siege battles, so they did not participate. However, the dwarf two-handed axe warriors, dwarf crossbowmen, and ordinary dwarf soldiers who are only equipped with small round shields. They also recruit militias. However, they fell a lot under such a rain of arrows.

Even the dwarves were armed with fine armor and suffered a lot of casualties. It is conceivable how miserable the Scots, mainly light infantry, would be - even at the moment when the arrow rains, the Scottish people either squatted down to protect their upper bodies with shoddy shields, or hid behind the baffle trucks, and some shameless people even regarded their dwarf allies as shields - however, even so, there were still many arrows calling them. Who made them not have any armor?

In this way, the English regained a little downturn in the middle distance with their proud longbow troops. However, such a good thing soon disappeared - after the dwarfs' tower and ladder cars leaned on Hadrian's walls.

Previously, the dwarves made by the dwarves based on the height of Hadrian's city were also more than ten meters high - covered with crossbowmen of the dwarves and even light crossbows. Although they were a little destroyed by the English city defense crossbows during the journey, the chariot collapsed suddenly. Then the top crossbowmen fell down and turned into meat pie. But most of them still arrived at the place safely. Then, the dwarves and Scottish people stepped on the folding stairs of the chariot, which was almost the same as climbing to the five-story building. Climbing to the roof of the chariot, and running a few steps on the baffle, you can see the Englishman with shield walls.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides slashed the axes and stabbed the guns, which was a fierce battle. In such a close-range battle, the dwarf long-handled axe warrior wearing heavy armor and holding a long-handled battle axe can be regarded as the strongest king - the long-handled axe weighing more than ten kilograms waving with both hands, even a piece of the short spear in the hands of heavy spear soldiers. The dwarf long-handled axe warriors often swept across the enemy's attack range, and cut them all with an incomparable terrifying force.

The front line of Hadrian City was full of flesh and blood, and the English defenders screamed repeatedly. Seeing the dwarfs and long-handed axe warriors as their vanguard, the dwarfs and the Scottish coalition actually gained an incredible advantage in the battle on the front line of the city! Even under such circumstances, it is not unimaginable that Hadrian City will change its ownership!!

"Hold! Be sure to hold on!!" Many knights' eyes were shattered after seeing this scene. In desperation, some people directly raised the wooden barrels full of tinder oil and threw them hard towards the springboard of the Dwarf Tower. Then, the longbowers who ignited the rockets fired fiercely at the dwarfs and Scots who were already covered with tinder oil.

Screams rang through the sky. Even the most brave dwarf soldiers could not remain calm when they were on fire. In a dense area like the springboard, they had no place to escape. Under such a squeeze, the soldiers standing beside them fell down because they were panicked or because of the push of their own soldiers. The fire spread from the city to the ground little by little. Finally, the entire tower car turned into a huge torch. A line of fire in Hadrian's city soared into the sky!

However, the battle continued. The Scots commander William Wallace and the dwarf King Wald were all long-time generals over the years, and they were all people with iron and stone hearts. Although the front-line army was not progressing well, they were broken by the skin of less tiny oil and shot like a hedgehog by the longbow. After the ladder car arrived, some soldiers who climbed along the ladder car were even hit by the stone thrown by the opponent and broke their brains. However, the two commanders of the coalition still did not give orders to retreat.

One round of energy will fade again and then disappear three times!

The fierce siege of Hadrian was still continuing. The dwarf engineers stepped forward, and everyone was carrying a barrel in their hands - because of the fluidity of tinder oil, it was impossible to extinguish it with water. Therefore, the barrels were filled with sand and soil just dug.

The dwarf engineers were on the task of firefighters, carrying large buckets of mud and sand, running wherever there was a fire, covering the flames with sand, and then stomping on them with big feet wearing iron boots. As a result, the flames under Hadrian's city decreased little by little. At the same time, along the ladder truck, the more dwarves and Scots were attacking the city.

"Use that." Seeing this situation, the English commander standing on a tower in Hadrian's city to observe the battle situation sighed softly and then said.

"Yes, General." After that, several messengers around him ran away quickly to convey the general's orders.

Afterwards, a secret door far from the battlefield, which seemed to be no different from the surrounding city walls, slowly opened. The English knights wearing heavy chain armor, holding a rifle, and riding a magical war horse slowly walked out. A total of more than one hundred English knights quietly formed the formation. Then, the secret door slowly closed and did not open again.

A total of 132 English knights and 348 knight entourages. Nearly 500 heavy English cavalry lined up in cone formations, listening to their commander-in-chief shouting: "Today, where we die, we will go to the underworld together! Today, we have no distinction between noble and low, all of us are brothers!!!"

Immediately afterwards, nearly five hundred Englishmen cheered and rushed towards the dwarves and Scots who were sieging the city. The siege was in full swing. The coalition forces did not expect that such a cavalry would appear behind them. In amazement, a large number of dwarves and Scots were pierced by spears. Then, the knights and entourages drew out a long sword to kill left and right. Some of them held heavy shackles, maces, etc., aimed at the ladder trucks, tower trucks and other siege equipment and smashed them hard. Or they took out tinder oil and ignited them.

"..." Seeing this, the dwarf king Wald screamed in anger. The dwarf was completely unable to ride a horse because of his natural figure, let alone develop cavalry or something. Therefore, he often suffers losses in foreign combat.

"Where are your cavalry? Get on!" Then, the Dwarf King immediately remembered that he had an ally, and turned around and shouted at William Wallace.

"We, we don't have cavalry, either." William Wallace said with a wry smile, "But we still have powerful super pikemen. Just use that."

"Hey!" Wald slapped his thigh, then shouted in a broken voice: "Guardian of Secret Room! Guardian of Secret Room comes forward!!!"

Afterwards, the coalition quickly arranged its own super-spike troops, wearing heavy armor and holding a four-meter super-spike, the guards of the secret room of the Dwarf clan, and the most powerful weapon for the Scottish people to fight against the English Iron Cavalry, the Scottish Highlands super-spike soldiers.

Thousands of super-length spearmen were lined up in a tight formation. The soldiers in the front four rows all laid their spear tips forward. Looking from the front, there were almost no people. They were completely gun bars. The guns were like iron forests, and they lined up forward.
