Chapter 290: Accumulate Experience and Verify Tactics
How jackals hunt may not have been heard of or seen with their own eyes, and they don't even know whether jackals hunt alone or in collaboration with multiple people to hunt prey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But if you ask another question, ask how the wolves hunt, then many people, will have a sense of sudden enlightenment, even if most people have not seen the scene of wolves hunting from time to time, but they have definitely heard more or less wolf hunting stories, those who like to spread heroic deeds of bards, will always in a variety of stories, the wolves are portrayed as an extremely evil species, and always like to use a variety of exaggerated and marginal language to describe the situation when the wolves hunt.
In particular, Hayar, as a native of Scandinavia, he is definitely no stranger to the movements of the jackals at this time, he has seen more than once in those tall taiga how those wolves prey on white bears, how they prey on cattle, and how they prey on terrain dragons.
After all, in the vast expanse of Scandinavia, those wild areas far away from the cities and away from the light of Krypton civilization, the most powerful creatures that rule that area are not the dragons that soar in the sky, but only the size of ordinary calves, a giant wolf called the Winter Wolf, so the strength of each one is at most close to the level of legend.
In the snowy forest, those white predators will always go in groups to find prey, they can always find a target to attack a few kilometers away by virtue of their developed sense of smell and the unique advantages of canines, and then in groups under the leadership of the leader wolf, to carry out the pursuit and killing operation.
These wolves living in Scandinavia rarely choose to attack their prey in one swarm, but divide into several squads, if the prey is very weak, then they will directly bite the throat of the prey, take their lives, and then feast on it.
But if the prey is a white bear, a tiger, a giant, or even a giant dragon, a single strength is much stronger than them, they will not be so direct, they will first surround the prey outside the range of the prey's attack, but they will not attack the prey immediately, after all, even if they win in the end, the wolves will suffer a lot of casualties, not to mention that in most cases, the wolves will not be able to directly defeat the other party.
At this time, the wolves simply surround each other, not letting the prey disappear from the perception of the wolves, and the first wolf will arrange a special team to drive away everything that can be used as food around the prey, whether it is birds in the sky, small animals such as mice and rabbits on the ground, or delicious river fish and river fresh in the river, they will use their sensitive sense of smell to find out in advance, hunt or drive, so that the prey can not get food supplements from the surrounding environment, and bring back food for other companions who are hunting。
Of course, if the prey is a mammoth or something, the big guy who uses plants as food to replenish the energy in the forest, the wolves also have other ways to make the other party unable to eat, such as using the power of magic to cause the plants to wither on a large scale.
Maybe it's a few days, maybe it's a few weeks, in such a high-intensity harassment, unable to eat, drink, or sleep, and because the energy required for the body's huge activities is also abnormally large, even the dragon can't maintain the combat power in the body, and after consuming the fat in the body, they will also enter a period of weakness.
At that time, it will be time for the Winter Wolves to attack, they will use magic to wear off the last vestiges of the prey, carefully approach the prey, make sure that the prey has no ability to resist in the slightest, and then deliver a fatal blow aimed at the vital position of the prey, and then enjoy the fruits of victory.
Using this method, even the dragon may be hunted, after all, no matter how the dragon is a creature can not fly in the sky for a long time, they still need to land on the ground to drink, eat and rest, which also provides a material basis and theoretical basis for the eastern wolf pack to hunt the dragon.
Of course, this is just a method of predatory food for wolves, and it is not 100% suitable here, after all, in such a rapidly changing battlefield, there is not enough time for the jackals to exhaust the enemy's physical strength.
However, it's different if the enemy is a berserker, especially if the berserkers who have entered the berserker state use wolf pack tactics to kill time and wear off the opponent's berserker state...... Berserkers who have come out of their frenzy and entered a weakened state will be much easier to deal with.
I saw that the jackals who were close to Hayar turned their backs to the berserker, their hands were frantically scraping the ground, the heavy smell of earth overshadowed the smell of blood, and the already turbid air became more chaotic at this time, and the vision began to blur, and the visibility was reduced to less than two meters.
In the center of the dust, the angry roar of Hayar could be heard in the distance, but it could not stop the gnolls, who continued to dig the earth beneath in silence, and not far behind them, the other group of gnolls were ready to attack.
Since Hogg wants to adopt the tactics of wolf hunting, and he wants to delay the time until the opponent enters a weak state at the end of his madness, then the best way at this time is definitely not to rush up and attack at close range, but to use the means of long-range attack as much as possible to consume time, to delay the pace of the opponent's attack, to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's battle, after all, the jackals are not without advantages, their number is dozens of times that of the opponent, which is their biggest advantage.
The Jackals have the upper hand, the Berserker has no means of attacking from a distance, Hogg's calm command, and practical tactics, all of which are loaded together, will be turned into bundles of straw on the Berserker Hayar, and now both sides are actually waiting to see if the Berserker can successfully deal with the other before the last straw is pressed.
The dense and sharp sound of breaking the air sounded again, the attack of the jackals had come closer, and at this time Hayar's sanity had begun to return, and the hair on his head that had been tangled in dry blood made his brain look heavy, but the coolness of the wound made his brain extremely clear.
Hayar's body began to slowly shrink, like a balloon that was full of air and began to leak, and his flushed skin turned back to white due to the reduction of blood flow speed, much paler and whiter than before he had not transformed, and it was obvious that he had broken away from the state of madness, and his body had lost its strength just now, and became weak.
He opened his bloodshot eyes, and looked at the attack that came in front of him with his iron sword, and at this time Hayar seemed to have returned to the time when it was raining endlessly in the summer, just like standing in the rainstorm and looking up at the sky, the uncountable raindrops that occupied the line of sight, were the stones the size of the thumb in front of him at this time, and each blow could cause damage to the body.
The manic and powerful power that had emerged from his body had begun to wane, leaving behind a huge void that was not filled by anything else, a feeling of inexorable emptiness that was more insane than hunger, especially for a berserker like Hayar, who felt more uncomfortable than the feeling of falling from the clouds of the sky to the ground after the madness.
However, Hayar also knows that this is not the time to think about that, to complain about that, when he was crazy just now, he didn't solve the other party in one go, didn't defeat all the enemies and came to a safe place, then what awaits him will be very bumpy, he needs to drag his body that has lost his strength and less than half of his combat strength to open up a way of survival from this chaotic thorny battlefield.
Before the madness just now, he had no way to block all the stone bullet attacks, which is why he did so angrily carried out the madness, and now he has entered a state of weakness, no matter how you look at it, with his current strength, he can block half of this attack in the sky, and he is worthy of the name of berserker.
But the remaining half, those pebbles that can be seen everywhere and do not usually attract Hayar's attention at all, will take his life away from his body, eyes, ears, nose, head, vital points between his legs, etc., are all points that need to be protected, as long as one is hit, then Hayar will be hit hard, and at this time on the battlefield, surrounded by jackals, the word heavy wound represents death.
Thoughts were constantly surging in his mind, and sparkling sweat seeped from his palms and stained the hilt of the sword wrapped around the linen rope, an existential crisis, a battlefield at the junction of the Karelian steppes and forests, which had turned into the battlefield of the legendary hell.
Hayal would certainly not be willing to die in this place, at the hands of these gnolls who could be equated with ants in his eyes, and he would not allow his own death to be due to his own mistakes...... That's right, in his opinion, the reason why he entered such a desperate situation at this time was because of his carelessness and anger, not because of the successful tactics of the jackals.
"Odin!
Whispering the name of the main god of all Scandinavian human beliefs, he held aloft the iron longsword that had been exchanged for fur and precious herbs from Jutland, and the scarlet glare began to appear from his heart, and quickly spread to the rest of his body, even the sword was covered with the light like blood.
The blinding light pierced through the surrounding dust and reflected in the eyes of the gnolls, who either lowered their heads or stretched out their hands to block their eyes, not daring to look directly at the bloody but unspeakable divine light.
When everything had calmed down, the wind had stopped hustle, and in this corner of the battlefield, time and space seemed to be turned upside down, and the dust that filled the air suddenly lost its strength and fell straight to the ground.
Feeling the disappearance of the red light, hidden among the jackals, Hogg, dressed as the most ordinary gnoll, removed the small hand in front of him, opened his eyes, and reflected the picture that entered the eye, which made this warrior who had experienced a long battle also gasp.
The gnolls who were more than twenty paces away from the berserker, they still maintained a low posture on the ground, their hands were still deeply embedded in the ground, and their bodies were not scarred, but they ...... The pupils had begun to dilate and lose their luster, and the heaving chest was a sign that the breath of life had left the gnolls' bodies.
And the berserker, who seemed to have entered a strange road, and the berserker Hayar, whose life had begun to count down, stood in place, without any other movements, his eyes closed, and the iron sword fell out of his hand and plunged into the ground beside him, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still violently rising and falling to show that he was still alive, then no matter who would think he was dead.
Hogg let out a low dog bark, it was an order to retreat temporarily, and at this time he was still very calm, knowing that now that his current losses had exceeded fifty percent of the squad, continuing to fight would only gain more losses.
As for the berserker who had inflicted such losses on his army, and seemed to be unsustainable, he had no thoughts, who knew if those berserkers who believed in Odin had any other hole cards...... Not to mention that the previous battle had already given him what he wanted to know, and there was no need to stay any longer.
Those men, although they looked at Hayar because of the death of their comrades and because of the anger in their hearts, they were no longer as calm as before, but they still formed a flow of people in an orderly manner under Hogg's orders, suppressed the hatred and anger in their hearts, turned around and left, and retreated to a place outside the battlefield.
With the loss of nearly half of the troops, even if the most unreasonable war is known afterwards, there is no way to blame Hogg for anything, after all, in this world, it is a very rare thing to be able to successfully retreat the remaining fifty percent after losing fifty percent.
As for this battle, which seemed to have no income at all, but it made Hogg gain, or rather, all the gnolls, a possibility, the possibility of being able to use wolf pack hunting tactics on the actual battlefield, and the actual results of this possibility, presumably the next time Hogg appeared in the eyes of everyone again, he would bring a great surprise to his enemies, which could already be met.
