Chapter 082: Overseer Kromza
Hernu had hoped to return to the centaur camp in the Barrens as soon as he reached the junction, but encountering these patrolling centaur warriors completely disrupted his plans.
He could only continue to pretend to be in a hurry, running towards Stonetalon until the patrolling centaur warriors were out of sight.
"Damn, it's going to take some time now, cemetery moss isn't everywhere, why should I tell the truth?! Wouldn't it be okay to make up a herb to coax them?! ”
Hernu stopped at the entrance to the Stonetalon Mountains reproachfully, looking in the direction of the barrens, hesitating whether to return now or wait a little longer.
The centaurs struggled for a while, but decided to return to camp as soon as possible, and if they couldn't convince Overseer Kramza before the next attack, they would be quite passive.
Hernu moved his hooves to feel better than before, and then spread his legs and ran towards the centaur camp northwest of the Barrens......
"Overseer, we've been on the offensive for three days straight, why don't you let us take those towers directly, and instead sacrifice so many troops to feint?"
In the large tent of the Centaur camp, several centaur leaders analyze the situation in the Barrenlands, and one of the centaur leaders directly questions the Overseer Kromza.
"What about after taking these towers? Disperse your forces to occupy the barrens? ”
Overseer Kromza was a large, burly centaur who was even larger than Hezrul Bloodmark, and he still stood out to the battle-hardened centaur leaders.
Kromza asked the centaur leader who had just asked, apparently in his plan, it didn't matter whether the towers were captured or not.
"Aren't we here to occupy the barren land? Then use it as a base to send troops in all directions, eventually occupying the entire continent. ”
The centaur leader was very interested in his plan to conquer the continent, but Kromza looked at him like a retarded mind.
"This time to capture the barren land, only our Kokar clan has dispatched nearly seventy percent of the warriors, and the strength is less than three thousand, do you think we can send troops to the entire continent as you said?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Kromza's tone, and a hint of questioning, and it was clear that he was not satisfied with the troops he had invested in this expedition.
"But what's the use of spending it here at the Western Tower? Also lost troops in vain. ”
The other centaur leader spoke, more tactfully, but still questioning the rationale of Overseer Kromza's strategy.
"The barren land is too vast, and even if our centaur clan is very mobile, it is not suitable for such a long battle."
Kromza glanced around, and could see that several of the centaur leaders had questions, so he was going to simply explain his thoughts in detail.
"Although the number of troops of the tribe stationed in the barren land is not as large as the one we invested this time, but roughly calculated that it will not be less than a thousand, scattered in such a wide area, how can it be completely wiped out?"
The centaur leaders looked at each other, and some even shook their heads to indicate that it was not easy to do, but Kromza looked at them with a little joy in his heart.
These are brutal marauders and reckless men who have no idea of strategy and tactics, which is one of the reasons why Kromza was able to succeed the Overseer.
Kromza was raised by his older brother, the former Overseer Helmza, who was an extremely combative commander, but did not advocate the use of force to solve problems.
Kromza learned a lot about tactics and strategy from Helmza, and he was even more daring to carry out the tactics he thought of, advocating the idea that the winner is king.
"I asked you to lead troops to feint against the watchtower, in order to attract their reinforcements to the greatest extent, and the fastest way to reinforce the barren land is to gather the troops stationed there."
Kromza was well thought out, the tribe's strength in the barren land was about a thousand people, and if it was scattered in the barren land, it would be like beans scattered into a rice bowl, and it would be difficult to find.
Continuing to attack a place with such a strong force, attracting the tribal defenders of the Barrens to come and reinforce them is the best way to get them to assemble quickly.
"What if reinforcements from elsewhere in the tribe arrive? The Warriors of the Tribe are very powerful, and they now have many strange classes to fight together. ”
The Centaur force is dominated by centaur warriors, plus some combat units that use bows and arrows and magic, and such a composition is obviously not comparable to the multi-class coordination of the tribe.
"None of the towers have been breached, do you think the tribe will send reinforcements in a big way?"
Kromza had thought of this layer for a long time, so on the premise of maintaining a strong attack, he launched the attack in batches and did not invest too many troops.
In fact, since the beginning of the attack, the centaur army has invested only 500 troops, which is a tolerable limit for the tribal defenders of the Barrens.
"Calculate the time, the news of the attack on the western watchtower has reached the camps of the various tribes in the barrens, and it is almost time for reinforcements to arrive, and after another feint, a full-scale attack will be launched!"
Kromza silently calculated the time in his heart, firmly believing that the tribal reinforcements from the Barrenlands were about to arrive, so he said the next battle plan.
"When reinforcements arrive, launch a full-scale attack, and fight the tribal defenders hard?"
The centaur leader who had just questioned it didn't seem to understand what Kromza meant, and asked a question that the other centaur leaders found ridiculous.
"Stupid, since you know that they want reinforcements, why do you have to collide head-on, you must ambush the troops in advance to stop them!"
Kromza's temper has come up, he's not a good talker, and he's the one who likes to solve problems with his fists.
"How can there be such a good ambush? The military commander of the tribe is not stupid, and the warriors of the tribe are very strong, we may not be able to fight! ”
The centaur leader continued, as if he didn't want to go to war.
"How did you climb to the leader's position? Didn't your men tell you how stupid you were? ”
Kromza rushed to the questioning centaur leader, who was a full shoulder above the other, condescending and angry.
"Bastard, you dare to insult me, don't think that I am afraid of you if you are an overseer chosen by the Khan!"
The centaur leader was also stubborn, even if he wasn't very smart, he wasn't a coward, and he even started yelling against Kromza.
