Warhammer Seal

Chapter 162 The Battle of Red Eye Mountain

A bag of gold coins was held by Wende, which can be regarded as a surprise.

The Sisters of Mercy are rich and very generous.

The main reason is that the Church of Sigma has a rule that people who do good deeds must not be chilled.

As long as you do something, regardless of whether you personally want to be rewarded or not, Sigma Church will definitely reward you. As for whether you donate the reward or give it to others, it has nothing to do with the church.

The incense burner was coming out from the bottom of the tank at this time, and he was very happy to see Wende come back.

At this moment, he realized that the expensive maintenance fee of the tank was not due to the corruption of the engineers. It is really a reasonable figure to spend 499 gold coins on a tank every quarter.

Since the steel plate is a whole, once a gap occurs, it cannot be patched, and can only be replaced as a whole.

Plus all kinds of maintenance, the material cost alone will cost 100 gold coins a quarter, enough to empty the tax revenue of a small town.

Fortunately, the three tank drivers are all their own people, so they don't need to be paid, otherwise it would be terribly expensive to hire two imperial engineers.

Just experiencing an adventure in Mordheim, the maintenance fee is as high as 20 gold coins.

Here in the blacksmith's shop, the incense burner can't afford to hire professionals to repair it, so it can only be repaired manually by paying for the materials first.

After Wende came back, the arrears were made up.

No wonder the imperial engineers don't want to develop tanks, it's too expensive. Instead of building tanks to charge and maintain the front line, it's better to train more spearmen. Just a set of half armor and spears can let these boys go to the front line to bleed To die in battle, the key is very cheap.

The maintenance cost of one tank is equivalent to the military pay of five spearmen.

From an economic point of view, it is much more cost-effective to use spearmen to kill than to use tanks.

But for Wende, what a tank can do can only be accomplished by sacrificing the lives of 500 people.

He still hopes to reduce the loss of population. Soldiers are not a number and a unit of measurement. Each of them has their own parents, wives and children. Human beings have shed too much blood.

Isn't it just money, I have enough!
Immediately, he took out a large handful of gold coins, all of which he had just obtained from the Sisters of Mercy in Sigmar.

The tank was repaired quickly, and there was nothing worth nostalgic about in Baker Harbor. The incense burner had regained its sanity, so the next step was very clear.

The three of them looked at the World's Edge Mountain Range to the east, which was already covered with snow.

However, the white snow is filled with all kinds of green dirt, wriggling left and right like flowing green algae.

That must be the green-skinned orc from Red Eye Mountain.

At this time Karl Franz and Hertwig had set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers began to build fortifications one after another.

Human beings are better than orcs not in iron and firearms. One of the greatest advantages of human beings is called wisdom.

Carl wouldn't go up to the mountains to fight in the early winter.

Only the green-skinned orcs and dwarves like to fight in the mountains, and fighting in the mountains is completely taboo for humans.

Just climbing the mountain will consume most of the physical strength of the soldiers, and it will also lead to a very long supply line.

Humans will choose a smarter way, that is to camp at the key position of the mountain pass, which can not only avoid the loss of troops, but also increase the speed of replenishment. The most important thing is to increase the melee defense of each soldier when a battle breaks out Ability and morale, waiting for work with ease is the superior art of war.

There is only one thing to worry about when camping, and that is whether the enemy will bypass the defense line and encircle the camped troops.

It's not really a good idea to camp against Wood Elves and Dark Elves, but against Orcs you don't have to worry about it.

These green-skinned orcs only have the idea of ​​fighting and fighting in their minds. It is already early winter, and when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, they will be completely unable to fight.

After seeing the human troops assembled at the foot of the mountain, all the orcs and goblins began to gear up, just in time to grab a lot of treasures and go back for the winter, and enjoy the addiction of fighting.

After Azhan Slayer yelled waaagh from his throat, all the orcs from Red Eye Mountain rushed out, heading towards the human troops at the foot of the mountain.

This scene was clearly seen by Karl with a telescope.

The leader of the orc army was Azhan Slayer, and Karl was surprised that this guy was still alive.

Obviously, he was killed by the head of the Cheetah Knights a long time ago, but after seeing his weird eyes and body, and the relationship between him and the vampire count, of course one can guess that he has been transformed Became a vampire undead.

Ha, an orc vampire and undead, really interesting.

What is more interesting than himself is the crown of witchcraft on his head, which is the artifact of Nagash, the undead lord, and has always been kept in the treasury of Altdorf.

But, the treasures were hidden as if they were ready to be stolen. Even the silver seal was stolen by an ordinary female vampire. Altdorf's security was really disappointing.

There is also good news now, Nagash's Crown of Witchcraft is about to return to the hands of the empire, the brain is not very smart and only knows that the reckless orc troops are falling into the encirclement of the empire.

At this moment, Wende has also arrived at the battlefield. Individual actions are much faster than those of large armies, and he has seen all the forms of the battlefield.

The orcs and goblins all over the mountains are slowly walking down the mountain, and the imperial soldiers led by Karl have raised their spears. The artillerymen and musketeers have already prepared all the gunpowder and are waiting for the orcs to enter the range.

Every imperial spearman has a tough expression on his face. Since he fought with the emperor in Glennburg two years ago, everyone has become a veteran now, with three brass medals embroidered on their chests.

The scars on their faces and the wounds on their bodies are the proof of their strength. Even if they are facing the two-meter-high war pig orcs and charge head-on, everyone has the courage and confidence to resist the terrible impact.

The crossbowman tested whether the heavy crossbow was suitable for the last time, and at the same time silently recited the name of the god he believed in.

There are still some archers in the army. Most of these irregular soldiers have been forcibly retired by Karl, but some of them still stay in the army of the empire, contributing their little strength.

They are smart and know that it is best to shoot sideways after the orcs enter the encirclement. Everyone is lurking in the woods, waiting quietly.

Behind the high slope on the side, there are all Ostermark soldiers in ambush. They are wearing yellow and purple uniforms. It is not easy for them to lurk in the woods. They all squat behind the hillside, quietly waiting for the orcs to come. Raid.

Everyone clacked the spears and swords in their hands. This time, the number of orcs was more than the number of orcs who went down the mountain in the past 200 years.

A simple count knows that it is at least twice the number of humans.

I have to admit that every soldier's heart began to shake slightly. When the number of enemies is far greater than that of one's own side, fear and fear are very normal emotions.

But if there is a steam tank on the side of the empire.

Wende had already driven the tank to the front of the team, opened the hatch and leaned out half of his body from inside. After saluting to Emperor Karl Franz, he turned around and looked at all the imperial soldiers, and raised his hands high. the sword of salvation.

　If the battle is described in the full battle mode, writing one soldier card by one soldier card seems a bit boring, and it cannot reflect the big scene of the battle.

　　So I gave up the previous battle description method, and only use the global perspective and the protagonist's perspective to describe the battle scene, there will be no terminology of the whole battle, and some special bonuses will be replaced by a paragraph of text (such as the spearman resisting the charge written at the end of this chapter ), so as to ensure the readability of the battle scenes.

　　What do you guys think?What kind of battle description do you prefer?
