Struggle in the Steam Age

Lawrence was quite satisfied with the decision made by the group hiding in the tent. Although some of this group of people are indeed cowardly, they can still be cleared up to this point.

After all, it is not without ups and downs that this group of people can reach today's position. Naturally, they know that compared with the possibility that there may be more dangerous enemies in the future, it is better to endure the danger for a period of time to eradicate those possible enemies now. A better option.

Besides, there is a limit to the number of people who can come out to take risks at this time, at least they won't be the kind of people who would pee their pants in fright after hearing the gunshots.

Now that everyone has reached a consensus. Then Lawrence and the others naturally got ready. Fortunately, at this time, Safir and the others have basically packed up the spoils, so they quickly went to the Taniguchi area with their weapons to prepare for defense.

At this time, the gunshots from Taniguchi's defense line appeared to be more intensive than when Lawrence left before, but from the position of the gunshots, it can be judged that the fronts of the two sides are not much different from before, and neither side can make a decisive advance.

"The opponent has made two assaults due to the large number of people, but their equipment and personnel quality are not as good as ours." After meeting with the frontline guards, Lawrence introduced what happened to Taniguchi's defense line just now.

"So only one person on our side was injured by a bullet on his shoulder, but the other party should have been killed and injured more than 20 people."

"That is to say, it shouldn't be too difficult to prevent the opponent from attacking." Lawrence said after looking at the two sides hiding behind rocks or debris and shooting at each other.

"In theory, it should be so." Viscount Surrey said firmly.

"Let's not talk about how great the terrain advantage is on our side now. The strength ratio between the two sides has already been placed here. Especially after you basically killed most of the extraordinary people among the bandits before, you lost the ability to attack. It's basically impossible for them to break through."

"But I need them to get some breakthrough temporarily." Lawrence said, and then made the decision that everyone discussed just now.

"Understood, but it's a bit difficult." Viscount Surrey said in a low voice after looking around and no one noticed them. "You know that the overall organization of our side is no better than that group of bandits gathered together. Now we can build a line of defense here purely because of various fortifications."

"So if we want to lure the enemy to go deep, the risk is not too small for us. After all, the distance between us and the bandits is really close. It will be a big trouble if we are chased by them when we retreat."

"I can solve this." Lawrence quickly came up with a plan after thinking for a while, "When the time comes, Priest Hannah and I will stay, and with the addition of you extraordinary people, it will be enough to be the last one. At least It is basically impossible to break through our defense with the level of the group of people outside."

"If this is the case, the problem should be much easier to solve." Viscount Surrey said with a face of sudden realization.

He really didn't think of this just now. After all, in this world, the division between classes can be said to be deeply ingrained, and at the same time, there is a set of rules that have been handed down for a long time for people of each class.

Therefore, as a nobleman, the Viscount Surrey naturally would not have thought of such a tactic of relying on the superiors as a cover to cover the retreat of those inferiors.

But the Viscount Surrey is not the kind of nobleman who is pampered all day long and doesn't know the outside world. At least Lawrence could easily tell from his commanding ability and performance on the battlefield that his way of accumulating experience was definitely not just listening to his elders.

So after Lawrence told his plan, he simply thought about it and agreed with Lawrence and their proposal, instead of putting on some boring aristocratic airs like Lawrence was worried about.

After simply finalizing the plan, Lawrence and the others immediately took action. Soon, the guards on the previous position swiftly withdrew back to the interior of the position, while Lawrence and the other transcendents added to their original positions, ready to implement the plan to lure the enemy deep.

Soon, the gunshots on the battlefield became sparse. And this weakness of firepower was immediately discovered by the robbers who had been staring at the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing that the situation had changed, the bandits immediately summoned up their courage and organized a commando to attack the line of defense.

Although the first wave of attacks was successfully repelled by Lawrence and the others as planned, the opponent also realized from the sparse bullets that Lawrence and the others did have a problem.

"They may have run out of bullets, and continue to organize the assault team to attack!" A yellow-clothed swordsman who was left here to direct the attack had a look of great joy on his face after seeing this situation.

For him, seeing her boss for a long time and those elite guards attacking the valley from behind made her very uneasy, and even thought of retreating in her heart.

And now the change in front of the position has successfully freed him from his anxiety from various angles.

After the order was issued, a new batch of commandos was organized. It is different from the tentative attack just now. This time the bandits commando has concentrated the most elite manpower and equipment.

After seeing this scene, Lawrence and the others immediately retreated while shooting.

However, in order to make this retreat more realistic, Lawrence not only made a few counter-charges with the improvised extraordinary team around him, but also detonated two bombs in the temporarily dug trench when the opponent entered the trench. .

"They really can't hold on anymore." Seeing that more than half of his elite troops were killed, the swordsman in yellow, who was the monitor, was not surprised but pleased.

In his view, whether it was the assault of the extraordinary or the bombs in the trenches, it showed that the defenders in the valley were at the end of their ropes, and he could win with just a little more effort.

However, after they rushed into the valley, they felt that the situation was wrong, because the defenders did not retreat completely after giving up the first line of defense, but chose to continue to defend the second simple line of defense to resist.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." After hearing the report from his subordinates, the swordsman in yellow said. For him, the current situation was completely out of control, so he naturally grasped at this life-saving straw subconsciously.

But this is not the case. At least after entering the valley for a certain distance, the bandits found that although the guards' shooting frequency seemed to have dropped due to insufficient ammunition supply, the accuracy was more than one notch higher.

The several charges they organized were easily fought back after being accurately killed by these guards and killed a series of backbones.

"Can't push it anymore? Then add more manpower." After hearing the news that the attack was unfavorable for many times, the swordsman in yellow, who was the leader of the frontal bandit, shouted.

"Remove all the outer outposts and concentrate all our manpower to launch an attack. I believe the other party should not be able to hold on."

"But those reinforcements—"

"We have paid too much. At this time, it would be almost irreparable to retreat in a desperate manner." The swordsman in yellow had a crazy look on his face. For him, this battle is related to his future .

"More importantly, the boss has not given us an order to terminate the mission. If he knows that we are willing to do so without an order, he will definitely catch us all and burn them to death."

"Understood." After hearing what the leader said, several subordinates immediately lowered their heads to accept the order, and then ran to the outskirts of the valley to send out a signal.

A few minutes later, this batch of reinforcements made Lawrence on the second line of defense in the valley feel more pressure.

Because more gunmen rushed from the surrounding area, and some of them were accurate shooters with good marksmanship, suppressing most of the ordinary gunmen on Lawrence's side.
