Chapter 297: Learning War in War
It didn't take long for Willy Lee to come with good news. He led the feathered people of the Qingbi Regiment to catch up with an undead army escorting human captives, and had already routed it, saving more than 3,000 people.
Duckrel's purpose in stalling was to cover the force and send the captives away.
It was not a good idea to keep these captives in the undead Scourge because they were killed, and the corpses were not easy to transport, and the living could drive them to walk on their own. Second, corpses can only make garbage cannon fodder troops, while living people have souls, which is a must for high-level units in the creation of undead natural disasters.
Dacrel was ordered to capture nearby humans and replenish the loss of the core area of the natural disaster.
What the Undead Disaster didn't expect was that Rong Zheng and Xiang Ningxuan were not held back by the refugees at all, and the speed from mobilization to dispatch far exceeded the prediction of the Undead Disaster. Moreover, the plague that had been tried and tested in Azeroth seemed to be suppressed as well. The humans of this world have developed a way to prevent the plague so quickly.
As a result, when Xiang Ningxuan hit the door, Dacrel hurriedly began to transfer the prisoners, but the prisoners were not sent away, and his own army was annihilated.
Shocked by the news, Les Frost had to speed up the progress of the sacrifice, and at the same time hurriedly sent someone to summon Rivendell, who led the troops to deal with Rong Zheng, to retreat.
The undead scourge had made a delaying plan that had completely failed.
————
Annihilated Dacreel's troops, Xiang Ningxuan's troops were only seven or eight kilometers away from the core area of the natural disaster. At this distance, he could already faintly feel the soul wail coming from afar, and the energy that was so large that it made people palpitate.
At the beginning, the energy of the card intelligence machine center was only seen in Xiang Ningxuan's life, but compared to the energy transmitted by Naxxramas, it was still a small thing.
Although he really wanted to fight in one go, it still took Xiang Ningxuan more than an hour to gather the refugees and organize the troops. Moreover, some of the distances ahead, the resistance of the undead natural disasters increased sharply, and some undead squads hid in nearby buildings waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.
From time to time, zombies with the source of the plague attack suicidally, they naturally can't kill anyone, but their corpses can contaminate a large area. There are also meat grinders of natural disasters throwing plague sources from a distance, and the entire road is filled with yellow-green plague mist.
Xiang Ningxuan also sent more than 300 soldiers wearing chemical protective suits and holding flamethrowers to burn all the way forward. Although it can contain the plague, the speed of advancement is greatly reduced.
Up to now, Xiang Ningxuan's troops have suffered less than 100 casualties in head-on battles, but the number of people who have been reduced due to the plague has reached 1,200. The human losses caused by the plague were more than ten times greater than the casualties of the warring, especially those of the alien races, although they were also vaccinated, but they were less suitable for the vaccine than humans, and were more susceptible to the plague.
At this time, Chu Jiangyue rushed up again with the elite group after resting. It is more convenient to deal with those scattered harassing undead, or the elite group.
"Report, the Invalids sent a message: Baron Rivendell, who had been harassing with elite troops, had not appeared for half an hour. Remind us to pay attention. "The latest news came from Gao Siqi.
"Captain Invalids, how far are they from the intended location?" Xiang Ningxuan asked.
"It's about seven or eight kilometers away."
Xiang Ningxuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, the time was almost five o'clock, and it would be good for Rong Zheng to arrive at the predetermined place before dark. It seems that today is not to think of launching an attack on the core area of the natural disaster.
In this case, there is no need to get too close to the core area of the natural disaster. He beckoned and asked, "Staff Officer Lai, is there a suitable place to be stationed around here?" ”
Staff Officer Lai is Lai Donghui, the coach of the e-sports professional team under Wang Yueming, who has the ability to simulate tactical analysis, and currently serves as an operational staff officer and is Chu Xiongtian's deputy.
Lai Donghui pointed on the map: "This is the Lucheng Railway Station, which is suitable for building fortifications and erecting artillery. It is only 5 kilometers away from the core area of the natural disaster, which can be used as a starting point for the attack. In the event that Naxxramas comes, we can defend ourselves here. ”
Xiang Ningxuan looked at the troops, not far from the railway station, and said: "Okay, order the 2nd Regiment to be stationed at the railway station, and the 4th Regiment to be stationed on the left and right." Ordered Tian Tingfeng's engineering regiment to immediately build fortifications. Staff Officer Lai, you are in charge of the defense at the railway station. ”
"Order the 3rd Regiment to sweep back along the line of communication and pick up the artillery battalion. I'll take the Elite Regiment, the Deadwood Regiment, the Zoe Regiment, and the Qingbi Regiment out to clear the nearby undead strongholds. ”
As soon as Xiang Ningxuan ordered, the army of more than 10,000 people rolled and flowed.
Finally returning to the rhythm of the urbanization operations that were often practiced before, several human troops began to deploy with familiarity.
Tian Tingfeng's engineering regiment performed even better, using local materials, and strong fortifications were erected one after another, and the vicinity of the railway station soon became a large construction site.
Xiang Ningxuan made an inspection and found that after fighting against the undead natural disaster for a day, the morale of the soldiers not only did not decrease, but also improved. After gradually getting used to those hideous and terrifying bones, everyone found that the undead natural disaster was not as terrible as they imagined.
Tirio Fordin's Silver Crusade Leader effect is also very confident.
After a day of fighting and running-in, this unit finally has a bit of an army look.
"Learn war in war. Sure enough, no matter how good the training is, it can't compare to the effect of actual combat. ”
There are also those three alien groups, which are also fighting with humans for the first time, Xiang Ningxuan not only wants them to fight, but also to win their hearts.
Trolls are the easiest to deal with, after changing from them to worshipping the dragon totem, they are bound to Xiang Ningxuan's characteristic of "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss", and he can feel that there is a power of worship that comes from the troll tribe.
Marri not only promoted the dragon totem among the troll tribes, but also started a personality cult, and the object of worship was naturally Xiang Ningxuan. Xiang Ningxuan has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the trolls, and all kinds of living materials and weapons have greatly improved the living standards of the trolls. He is worshipped by the trolls as the embodiment of a dragon and has become the spiritual leader of the trolls. Therefore, Xiang Ningxuan could rest assured that he would hand over the back road to the trolls.
Orcs are also easier to get along with, these simple and upright rough men don't have much to think about, as long as they are treated fairly and justly, they will sincerely reciprocate. If you fight side by side and find time for a drink, they will treat humans as brothers.
Only the feather people are more careful, so they can only do it slowly. But they are not invulnerable. In order to monopolize the power, Qing Ji, the chief priest of the Feather People, not only married the new city lord Yu Yan, but also wantonly divided and attracted the power of the original city lord's mansion. Those who are willing to take refuge in her will be taken for their own use, and those who are not willing to take refuge in her will be assigned to the Qingbi League. Most of the officers of the Qingbi Regiment are not all the way to Qingji.
In addition, most of the soldiers of the Qingbi Regiment are selected from the middle and lower ranks of the feather people, and they do not have the arrogance of the upper feather people. Xiang Ningxuan deliberately selected a pre-doomsday success lecturer to serve as the political commissar of the regiment and instilled all kinds of chicken soup in them, so I don't believe that they will obediently serve those feather nobles as obedient people!
