Chapter 176: The First Yakinduvi Offensive and Defensive Battle
I don't understand why His Majesty the King of his own family called the entire system of fortifications of the first line of defense Maginow, and I don't understand why it was inexplicably renamed Yakinduvi tonight, but Aslan didn't care.
Paladins should also be considered knights, isn't the romance of knights just horseback riding and slashing?
You won't be able to enjoy the thrill tonight, but there will be a seemingly endless supply of troll orcs to slash and slash yourself.
This feeling is cool!
Aslan. In the hands of Qi An is [Boniguto. Phantom Dancer], an epic sword that the king once used and rewarded himself.
This one was forged by the dwarven master Seedorf. A two-handed greatsword forged from quenched iron felt, by Janis. Barov and ** Shi Fang Brick second enchantment quenched epic sword, for Aslan. In terms of prayer, it is not suitable. A sword is too heavy in one hand and too light in both hands. But whether it is the special gift of the king's old objects or the excellent material itself, it is worthy of Aslan. Pray for good care and research. So Aslan. Qi An gave up his original swordsmanship, consulted many of the old knights of the Alterac Knights, and repeatedly asked his Majesty the King for advice. Finally, I gradually figured out a set of swordsmanship that suited me.
Today, on such a blazing night, in such a place where there is no way to retreat, Aslan. Qi An thinks this is the best stage.
Let the storm come harder!
Like the brave petrel, Aslan. Qi An fought bravely on the battlefield, and at the same time with a little chagrin.
Because His Majesty Carlos ordered his errand to be messed up.
That damn Kira. Yamato can't stand honestly and let himself cut it, if he can't beat it, he will run away, he still has an army to command, and it is impossible to leave his companions to chase and kill in the enemy formation.
Because of the superiority of weapons, it is called Aslan. The paladin of Prayer is in and named Kira. In the four encounters between Amato's orc Juggernaut, they all firmly gained the upper hand.
But it didn't work, Aslan. Ki'an felt Kira. Amato is different from his own. The other party is a real warrior who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there is only life and death in his eyes, and there is no victory or defeat. Until now, that orc Juggernaut only cared about whether he could kill himself, and was no longer interested in other soldiers.
It was good, in the first meeting. Kira. Amato moved in a roundabout position with one enemy and five deaths, taking away the lives of five warriors on his side in an instant, and completing five kills in style.
This made Aslan, who did not participate in the Battle of Hillbride. For the first time, Pray saw how the orc swordmasters of those who had returned had set off a storm of death.
But that's it, that's the end of your killing spree. Before you is the king's sharpest spear, the strongest shield of the kingdom, as long as I am Aslan. Pray that An'an has not fallen, and you don't want to use the blood of my compatriots to render your military exploits again!
That's it, Kira. Amato attacked with the large force, and as the large army retreated, his eyes locked on the young paladin.
"Carlos, the madness of the enemy has exceeded our expectations, the rotation of troops is not enough, and the fatigue of the soldiers is beginning to show."
Once again, repelled the attack of the Horde. Aurelia took advantage of the break in the battlefield and hurried to Carlos's side to discuss countermeasures.
It turned out that excluding Aurelia and the people who dispersed to assist in the evacuation of civilians, the first line of defense should have more than 3,000 troops, enough to rotate and alternate. However, the trolls' cannon fodder tactics and fatigue potions worked, and although they suffered a bit in time, they allowed Carlos to withdraw nearly a thousand men without permanent attrition.
Now, with 2,000 men to resist the onslaught of more than 10,000 trolls and orcs, the pressure on the coalition side has increased dramatically.
One thing that needs to be explained is different from what many people think. War is not a simple addition or subtraction of numbers, and the battlefield is not a simple hurrah charge shouting "Ula". If you throw 2,000 human soldiers on an open plain and face more than 10,000 heavily armed trolls, morale is probably broken.
Therefore, if there are fewer enemies, more enemies will inevitably occupy the geographical advantage. Otherwise, the weak side is stupid to defend and attack.
And the last line of defense, which was named Yakinduvi by the Supreme Commander not long ago, is such a natural danger.
Using the three cliffs, humans and elves have formed a set of unusually disgusting battle lines. Trolls want to get around, not impossible, but in the dark of the night. It's a nightmare to smear and move forward in a strange forest. Trolls have not evolved the ability to glimmer night vision, and when trying to bypass the strong fortifications of elves and trolls and surprise the coalition forces from the flanks and rear, endless traps and a handful of ranger marksmen who have been cast night vision spells by elven mages ruthlessly harvest the lives of the dewitters.
Many of the traps that used to be childlike during the day have been turned into hunting weapons for the Night Lord with the addition of darkness.
In the end, Zu Jin reluctantly found that if he wanted to take a detour, he had better wait for the day, in this dark night, it was the king to break the enemy head-on.
What, don't know about the torch?
Roundabout after striking a torch?
Hello target, goodbye target.
In this way, Carlos relied on this set of defenses built to make you uncomfortable, creating a situation where the contact between orcs and trolls is small, and the attack between humans and elves is large.
Therefore, the combined army of humans and elves can use one-fifth, or even one-seventh, of the strength of the army to fight against the horde's army without falling behind. Because there are only two or three hundred people in each battle, my two thousand people are like this, even if you have 20,000 people, and before the garrison is exhausted, your numerical advantage is useless.
"That's good, it's less than three hours before dawn, hold your ground, Aurelia."
Carlos had played a night battle in Hinterland, and although he was lucky to win, the danger of that battle gave him an indelible impression. No matter how dark Zujin is because of your position, but you must admit that you are a troll who can fight. So Carlos wasn't worried about what kind of intrigue or surprise attack Zugin would play other than the team's roundabouts.
"Carlos, the one I've always been to you...... Not very reassuring. ”
Aurelia voiced her concerns.
"Aurelia, put away your elven pride and prejudice. It's not just the brilliance of magic that shines, it's the spark of technology. ”
"Well, I still don't really believe in your gadgets, but I trust you."
Aurelia sighed and left Carlos' side to return to her defensive position.
Placing a life-threatening battle on a foreign object made Aurelia feel bad for her magic-reserved nature.
"Guards, let General Aslan come to me. Henry Shet, you go take over his defense. ”
Carlos sensed from the flickering fires of the forest in the distance that the orcs and trolls were ready for the next attack, and decisively gave the order to take turns.
"Yes, my king." (To be continued.) )
