This is definitely not the style of famine and plague, the battles they have commanded in the past have been straightforward, there are few tactics and skills to speak of, and they will never use any half-crossing to attack, and they don't even know what is called half-crossing attack.

He would never have been reluctant to let the elves successfully attack three times, and only use a gust of wind to break the elves' attacks and deal damage to the Baltic Empire when he used magic arrows for the fourth time, such a tactic could not have been used by famine and plague.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this sudden gust of wind is definitely not a coincidence, because blowing those arrows on the top of the pontoon bridge is the best option, and after the flames burn the pontoon, the subsequent enemies will not be able to cross the river in a short time.

The enemy who has crossed the river will be cut off from retreating, unable to get support, and will be in a state of fighting alone, in the face of attacks from all directions, it will be difficult for ordinary soldiers to hold on, not that their will will collapse, but the difference in numbers makes it easier for them to be killed and eliminated.

The elves were surprised that their attacks were blown back, and they didn't know if they should continue to carry out the commands, as the next attack could be repeated by the opponent and hurt their allies.

Soon, however, they calmed down and began to prepare for a second attack, they were accustomed to the internal rules of the Baltic Empire, and they would continue to carry out the previous order without much hesitation until no other orders were issued.

The second wave of arrow rain was still magic arrows, and when the arrow rain rose into midair, a strong wind blew again not far away, but this gust of wind just blew and dissipated invisibly.

On the side of the Baltic Empire, those who can be in command and achieve that position are all people who have proven their abilities in past battles, and after making one mistake, it is impossible to commit a second one.

Without interference, the rain of arrows successfully fell into the crowd of the Attila Empire, and then the high-temperature flames raged in the field, and the formation of the Attila Empire was directly opened.

The armor on the soldiers' bodies did not provide any defense at this time, and from time to time fire snakes could be seen emerging from the cracks in the armor, and the smell of burning permeated the field, while screams and screams were heard one after another.

The soldiers who have crossed the river can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because this flame has suspended the enemy's offensive, and at the same time, the sea tribe behind is stepping up the repair of the pontoon bridge, as well as the treatment of the wounded soldiers, and the irreparable losses still need to be recovered, the Baltic Empire and the Attila Empire are fundamentally different, and each soldier is a very important resource that cannot be given up at will.

After the results obtained, the elf did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but put down the longbow in his hand, sat on the ground to rest, this longbow is indeed very easy to use, but the physical strength consumed is also very huge, continuous use will seriously wear and tear the elf's body, now the situation is not bad enough to need to transition to the use of elves, and there is no need to be so desperate.

It was because of this flame that the soldiers who had landed on the opposite bank began to expand their formation, so that more soldiers could successfully land on this land and began to find ways to expand their advantage.

In the distance, the gnolls began to throw stones, and the stones struck the top of the armor with a dense sound, but only a sound, and such an attack did not hurt the heavily armored soldiers, let alone stop them from moving forward.

The Attila Empire is still using the tactics of facing the Scandinavian Empire to deal with the attack of the Baltic Empire, but the soldiers of the Scandinavian Empire do not like to wear armor, they do not have the conditions to wear armor, and there is only a wooden shield that cannot block the whole body.

Of course, there is no way to stop the jackals' slings, so that the gnolls' slings can play an unusual role on the battlefield again and again, but such an unusualness has become a joke in the face of the heavy infantry of the Baltic Empire.

But despite this, even though their attacks did not bring much results, and it seemed like a wasted effort, the gnolls tried to carry out their attacks.

Because they need to show their worth, if they can't even do such a long-range attack thing, they don't need to carry a long-range attack with a sling in the next battle, but participate in this war as pure cannon fodder as before.

Hogg's wolf pack tactics were indeed good tactics that could make good use of the mobility of the gnolls, but it was only a good way to achieve good results in sports warfare.

In such a large group battle, the wolf pack tactics can play a very small role, because as the opponent's enemy, they are also quite numerous, and there will be no more than one fight.

Knowing that this was not the way to go, although the gnolls tried very hard, their useless attacks were demoralizing the whole army, and the famine had to make the gnolls stop their attacks and let them concentrate on dealing with the centaurs.

Even if the gnolls' attacks can't cause much trouble to the centaurs, they can still contain the opponent's energy to a certain extent, so that they can't devote themselves to the battlefield.

To put it more bluntly, the famine is for the gnolls to trade their lives for the chance that the centaurs cannot join the battlefield, and he doesn't care how many gnolls will die, but how many casualties his army can inflict on the other side if the centaurs don't join the battlefield.

Although this battle has only started for a long time, Famine's brain still has a clear understanding of the Baltic Empire's combat effectiveness, and if it is a head-on confrontation, the possibility of the final victory of the Attila Empire is very low.

But on the other hand, he also discovered the problem of the Baltic Empire, that is, every soldier is a very precious resource, and after the huge casualties of these soldiers, it is difficult for the Baltic Empire to reorganize a group of warriors who can fight and dare to fight in a short period of time.

The policy of elite soldiers is indeed a disadvantage that cannot be ignored in terms of numbers, but the premise is that the Attila Empire can consume the opponent's elite troops with numbers, so that the speed of replenishment cannot keep up with the speed of consumption.

Well, if Alice knew the idea of famine at this time, she would probably laugh without hesitation, now that industrialization has been completed, all kinds of materials in the Baltic Empire are particularly sufficient.

With sufficient supplies and a stable environment, the number of newborns born every year is rising, the reason why it seems that the empire's army is so scarce, and the empire with simple knowledge does not need so many soldiers.

If it really comes to the time when a large number of soldiers are needed, only simple training and some weapons and equipment are needed, ordinary people can quickly go to the battlefield and have a certain combat effectiveness.

Most of the inhabitants of the Baltic Empire have spent time in schools, where some of the more important lessons are devoted to how to fight, how to exploit their potential to become a strong man.

As long as the ambitious people will put in the effort in these courses, even if many of them are limited by the original intention of the qualifications to become strong, but the hard work will not disappear, they are far from becoming a qualified warrior, all they lack is experience against the enemy.

If Famine really uses the method of quantity for quantity to carry out this war, then it is conceivable that he will find that the soldiers in his army are getting smaller and smaller, and finally even the old man and children will have to go to the battlefield with weapons, and it is estimated that at that time, the Baltic Empire should also prepare for a decisive battle.

While the centaurs and gnolls were entangled, a dark cloud appeared from the sky on the side of the Baltic Empire, and the sound of howling winds and flapping wings was heard, and some sharp-eyed soldiers looked up and looked pale in unison.

Those are gargoyles, their most obvious feature is their stone body, and although they don't have any long-range attacks, they can dive from the sky to the ground, which is also a very tricky way to attack.

Seeing such a scene, the plague frowned, he couldn't quite understand the other commander's thoughts, obviously it was only the first day of the official start of the war, and the two sides were still in the tentative stage, so they shouldn't just put their hole cards into it.

That's right, in the eyes of the plague, these gargoyles can indeed be called hole cards, because in addition to some more precious materials, to make these gargoyles, they also need the caster's own participation in the production.

Because there is no way for ordinary people to make gargoyles.

The plague didn't know what industrialization was, and these gargoyles were very numerous in the Baltic Empire, because they used an assembly line to make and assemble about twenty gargoyles per day.

These assembled gargoyles have the caster to complete the final activation step, but this job has now been assigned to the caster's apprentice, freeing the caster from the hectic chores and giving the caster more time to explore the mysteries of magic and improve their strength.

Spellcaster apprentices, on the other hand, are more than ten times more numerous in the Baltic Empire, and many of them are unable to become a current caster in their lifetimes, but they are good enough for some of the more mundane jobs that will allow them to live a life without food and clothing.

When the gargoyles flew into the battlefield, they stopped moving forward, and they began to lower their bodies, and only then did the people below clearly see the appearance of the gargoyles, and unlike what they imagined, these gargoyles did not hold weapons in their hands, but carried a large and heavy stone in their arms.

As he approached the river, the gargoyle threw stones directly into the river, and soon a stone bridge large enough for two carriages to travel side by side appeared on the river.

Obviously, these gargoyles were not involved in this battle, even if they were not considered hole cards in the Baltic Empire, but it was not their turn to play in today's battle.

Without giving the Attila Empire time to react and a chance to stop it, a mixed team of gnolls and werewolves who had been waiting for a long time quickly crossed the stone bridge and came to the other side.

Then they launched a charge towards the gnolls of the Attila Empire, and in just a few minutes, the gnolls began to show signs of rout, and the gnolls with only the slings in their hands were not at all the opponents of these kindreds from the Baltic Empire.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the gnolls and werewolves to attract the enemy, the centaurs also completed the crossing and began to tilt their arrows towards the enemy, and the cavalry of the Attila Empire hurriedly drove their mounts to charge here.

Then, on the way to charge, he was shot down by the centaur with a bow and arrow, the centaur used a short bow, compared with the longbow used by the elves, it was more lightweight, and it did not take too much effort to use, with the centaur's unique shooting technique, bringing great casualties to the cavalry chasing behind.

The trolls were more relaxed than the gnolls and cavalry, who were in a bitter battle and the situation looked bad, and they were targeting the infantry who were trying to cross the river through the stone bridge.

At such close range, the power of their javelins was amplified, forcing the infantry to hold shields, and the uneven ground made the infantry very slow.

As for the soldiers who had already completed the landing through the pontoon bridge, they moved closer to the stone bridge on this side and joined up with the follow-up troops, because of the previous fire, the pontoon bridge on the water was no longer able to support the landing of the troops behind.

Almost every two steps a warrior reached the ground, and while the weapons and equipment of the Attila Imperial soldiers were still somewhat different from theirs, they were now able to make up for the gap.

The gargoyles had left the battlefield, and the Attila Empire continued to throw bed crossbows and catapults to attack the enemies who were crossing the river, and the previous fire no longer had pontoon bridges as their targets, and the crossbow arrows were directly aimed at the slowly advancing hoplites, while the catapults threw stones at the shore, trying to use these stones to build a more complex environment by the river to delay the enemy's landing.

However, by this time, the trolls and ogres had entered the battlefield, but not as the first line, but as a certain distance from the battlefield.

They learned from their enemies, the giants of the Baltic Empire, by throwing stones like bowling balls, rolling them on the ground, crushing all the enemies in their way with their weight.

What's more, two tall ogres rushed out of the crowd, and in front of them were two stone balls that were larger than their bodies, and the ogre pushed the stone balls forward in the back, and even the ground shook in such a roll.
