Chapter 152: Lai Pi Tactics (2)
The weather in autumn can be described as crisp and crisp, but in the forest, the temperature is very low, and the light is a little dark, and the ground is full of dead yellow leaves, and when you walk on it, you will make a rustling sound.
A wing of werewolf guerrillas, shield-wielding, cautiously walked through the forest, listening carefully to the sounds around them as they walked.
Suddenly, a wave of cold arrows came out of nowhere, aiming directly at the werewolf guerrillas on the ground.
"Ding, ding, ding......."
However, the werewolf guerrillas had been prepared for this, and when they heard the sound of breaking the air, they immediately used their shields to protect the vital position, and this wave of cold arrows was successfully blocked by them with their shields.
Immediately afterward, a large number of elven rangers appeared behind the werewolf guerrillas, who were looking for cover, bending their bows and arrows, and constantly shooting.
Along with the Elven Ranger, there are also ape warriors, who leap nimbly over tall trees, and from time to time enemy Elven Ranger will be shot down from the trees.
After a few minutes of firefighting, the elven rangers who had been ambushed here retreated deep into the forest after dropping dozens of corpses.
Looking at the enemy who was far away, the attackers did not choose to pursue, they simply cleaned up the battlefield and continued to advance cautiously.
This scene is the scene of the battle between the Condor Lord's assault team and the elven rangers of the Storm Tribe.
Werewolf warriors act as bait in front of them while sweeping the ground and forcing enemies to show up.
Ape warriors march through trees, using branches as cover to find enemies hiding in the trees.
The Elven Ranger will suppress the enemy with long-range fire after discovering it, providing fire cover for the assault of werewolf guerrillas and ape-man warriors.
This set of tactics designed by Ning Yuan restrained the elven rangers of the Storm Tribe, and with the advantage of equipment, the thirty assault teams continued to advance almost unharmed.
In order to salvage the decline, the Storm Tribe organized several counterattacks, trying to concentrate superior forces to annihilate several aggressive assault groups.
Unfortunately, these assault teams firmly carried out Ning Yuan's tactics, and they have been moving forward steadily, keeping a safe distance from each other, and can quickly support each other when encountering a large-scale enemy.
Ning Yuan's tactics are very simple, that is, the assault team clears the hidden dangers nearby for the large army, so that the large army can build roads with peace of mind.
As for when to have a decisive battle with the enemy, Ning Yuan was not in a hurry at all, anyway, he had brought enough grain and grass this time, so he could rest assured that he would work with the enemy.
Ning Yuan's tactics this time can be described as very conservative, in addition to safety considerations, Ning Yuan also wants to use this to slowly destroy the enemy's fighting spirit.
As time passes, the enemy will become more and more impetuous, and the continuous defeat will gradually make them start to fear the Condor Lord's army, which will lead to war-weariness and no longer want to fight the Condor Lord's army.
By the time Ning Yuan led the army to their lair, their combat strength would probably not be much left, and at that time, Ning Yuan would be able to defeat them easily.
Things are indeed developing as Ning Yuan expected, as the front-line troops continue to retreat, the elves of the Storm Tribe are gradually falling into panic, and many people have begun to propose to move away from this powerful neighbor.
In the face of growing war-weariness in the tribe, Kevin Storm is now tireless.
There are more than 60,000 people in the entire tribe, do you mean that you can move away?
And even if they did move away, would the ambitious human lord let them go?
If they don't dare to fight each other to the death in the forest, then after leaving the forest, can they still have the courage to fight the enemy?
Although the army on the front line continued to retreat, but in fact, their losses were not too great, in ten days, they only lost more than 1,500 people, and the entire tribe still had more than 40,000 troops, they were not without the strength to fight.
However, in the face of the declining morale of his clan, Kevin Storm also knew that he could not continue to drag on like this, either move his clan now, or immediately engage in a decisive battle with the enemy, leaving them with little time.
It is definitely impossible to move the clan, the Storm Forest is too important to Kevin Storm, there are things he can't give up, so he can only choose to fight Ning Yuan to the death.
On June 8, the second year of barbarism, Kevin Stormwind led more than 40,000 elven rangers to launch a general attack on Ning Yuan's Condor Legion.
After detecting that the enemy was pouring out, Ning Yuan immediately withdrew all the assault teams back, and then waited for the enemy to arrive on the cleared road.
When Kevin Storm and his army came to the vicinity of the Condor Legion, he saw a phalanx of barrels waiting for him.
Ning Yuan knew what the elven rangers were good at, so he was not ready to take the initiative to attack at all, anyway, it was not him who was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle now, the food and grass he carried this time was enough for the entire army to support for several months, and he could continue to consume it with the enemy.
In addition to the combat effectiveness of both sides, the war also needs to test the logistics and supply capabilities of both sides, although there is no shortage of food in the Storm Forest, but a lot of food needs to be obtained by the elves themselves.
Since the Condor Legion entered the Stormwind Forest, they hadn't gone out hunting for many days, and if they continued to consume it like this, they would have to use the supplies they used for the winter in advance.
The elves are all soldiers and all the people, and they are also produced by the whole people, and they simply do not have the ability to fight such a large-scale protracted war.
Unlike Ning Yuan, who has the support of the entire Condor Leader, they can continuously transport all kinds of materials from the Condor Leader here, so even in the face of the Iron Bucket Formation, they can only attack hard.
With Kevin Storm's order, more than 40,000 elven rangers launched an attack on the Condor Legion from all directions.
They first created a rain of arrows on the periphery, and when they found that it had no effect, they threw away their bows and arrows, picked up their rudimentary weapons, and charged at the array of the Condor Legion.
After leaving the cover of the trees, they were immediately exposed to the vision of the elven rangers on Ning Yuan's side, and then they tasted the terrifying lethality of the elves for the first time, and before they could rush closer, they fell down in pieces.
Although they are the same race, the elven rangers on Ning Yuan's side do not have any unbearable, they have turned into messengers of death, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of their enemies.
The elves of the Storm Tribe managed to rush through the area covered by the rain of arrows and approach the enemy's shield array, but what happened next made them feel deep despair.
Although they were agile, they had no room to dodge in the face of the spears that kept piercing out of the shield wall.
The elven rangers, dressed in animal skins, could not resist the attack of the spears at all, so they finally rushed over, and fell in front of the enemy's shield array in pieces.
With the advantage of equipment, the situation on the battlefield is completely one-sided slaughter.
Looking at the elven rangers who fell in pieces, Ning Yuan was not happy at all.
Because he had long regarded everything in this plane as his own property, and in his opinion, these elven rangers would become his subordinates sooner or later, so when the enemy suffered mass casualties, he immediately felt heartache.
It's like if you hold a handful of peanuts in your hand and drop one or two peanuts on the ground, you may not feel distressed, but if you drop too much, you will feel distressed.
"The archers stop shooting."
Ning Yuan finally couldn't stand it anymore, he first stopped the elven rangers' shooting, and then shouted at the elves of the Storm Tribe outside the shield array:
"Warriors of the Stormwind Tribe, your behavior of hitting stones with eggs has no meaning except to send you to death in vain, and your leader doesn't care about your life or death at all, so stop and stop making unnecessary sacrifices.
Although dying on the battlefield is the fate of a warrior, it is also meaningful to die.
Your weapons and equipment are so rudimentary that they can't break through our shield array, so instead of dying for the sake of a careerist leader, it is better to find a master who can be entrusted with his life's service.
Our Condor Territory is a multi-ethnic colony, where all races respect each other and help each other.
The Condor Lords have the most powerful armies and have an untold amount of food.
Compared to you, the leader who regards the lives of his men as a mustard, we will never let our soldiers die in vain, look at the fallen people around you, and stop making fearless sacrifices. ”
Although Ning Yuan's generous statement did not stop the enemy's attack, it still dealt a severe blow to the enemy's morale.
Looking at the people who kept falling in front of them, many of the elves of the Storm Tribe began to hesitate, their steps forward were no longer firm, their arms holding weapons began to tremble, and their eyes became more and more confused.
Ning Yuan only stopped the long-range shooting of the elven rangers, but he did not stop the killing of the long contradictory array, although he felt sorry for these elves, but he was not a virgin, after all, compared to these elves of the Storm Tribe, the lives of his own soldiers were more important.
If it weren't for the fact that the enemy's attack was not a little threatening, Ning Yuan would not have suddenly stopped the long-range attack during the battle, after all, war is not child's play.
It's a pity that the enemy was too weak after leaving the forest, and their behavior of sending their heads to death finally made Ning Yuan unbearable.
The battle continued, but the enemy was obviously affected by Ning Yuan's words just now, and they began to become timid, facing a long contradiction like the scythe of death, and some of them were even reluctant to move on.
Seeing that the morale of his own army was greatly damaged, Kevin Storm had no choice but to order a retreat.
Kevin Stormwind felt a deep sense of despair as he looked at the people who had withdrawn as if they had withdrawn, because he knew that after today, they would never be able to raise the courage to fight the Condor Lord's army again.
In this battle, although they were not completely annihilated, the outcome was even more tragic than the total annihilation.
