Chapter 43: I've Heard There's a Tactic Called Philosophical Streams
What is the most amazing magic in the world, a thousand mages will give you ten thousand answers.
What is the most magical spell casting material in the world, ten thousand people will give you an answer.
Money.
After using the gold coin magic, General Audren willingly acted as Carlos's right and left hand, and the Grand Lord of Metz sent powerful thugs, and thousands of soldiers who had been away from home for half a year forgot the pain of marching and fought wholeheartedly.
"I have a word for you to hear."
Uncle Brick and several mages teamed up to cast a large amplification magic, and Carlos was able to speak in front of thousands of soldiers.
"I have a dream that has been deeply ingrained in me since I was sensible. From the snow of Alterac to the scorching sun of Arathi, people toiled hard in the mountains and forests, in the fields; From the turbulent blue waters of Nanhai Town to the towering trees of Hinterland, humans, dwarves, and species of various civilizations use their own hands and intelligent wisdom to ask nature for living space. Whether nobles or commoners, lords or farmers, civilization struggles every day to survive. The world is so vast, and the taste of life is so sweet. So I dream of a day when everyone will be fed and clothed; So I dream of a day when everyone can go to the tavern for two drinks after sunset.
Let everyone laugh, there is no dream to pursue. But it's real and it's realistic. Because if I am lucky, I will be the king of some of you.
But why are we here, thousands of miles away, in a big forest for more than half a year? Because our right to exist is threatened!
I know that many people have cursed Prince Jerio behind his back, saying that he deserved to run so far without being fine.
But you haven't thought about a question, my soldiers. If a prince's right to life is not guaranteed, then as an ordinary person, do you have a sense of security?
Today, a jackal attacked your neighbor, and you pretended not to see it; Tomorrow a lion strikes your sheriff, and you pretend not to see it; The day after tomorrow, a brown bear attacks your village chief, and you pretend not to see it. The day after tomorrow, jackals, lions, and brown bears appear at your doorstep together, who do you count on to save you.
My brethren, the trolls, the uncivilized trolls, they still have a tradition of cannibalism, and they have a tradition of digging out the hearts of captives to sacrifice to evil gods.
Yes, there is also the tradition of burial with gold jewelry. ”
At this point, a loud argument rang out like thunder, and Carlos stopped speaking, and began to pace with his hands behind him.
"Enough talking, my brothers. If that's enough, hear me on. ”
Gradually, the scene fell silent, and there was no sound except for the restlessness and snorting of the horses.
"The rumor is true that Shadralori has a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. But as soldiers, how much do you think you can get? To put it mildly, those treasures have little to do with you. ”
The whole scene exploded instantly, and many soldiers glared at Carlos.
A large fireball shot into the sky, exploding in mid-air, and a piercing scream suppressed the roar of human voices.
"Forgive me, brothers, I'm a man who tells the truth. Angry? Angry? But you can't deny that I'm telling the truth, because that's what you think in your own hearts.
But now, at this moment, I give you this opportunity to participate in this feast, each and every one of you. ”
Carlos's twists and turns attracted everyone's attention, and although the nobles present knew in advance that the speech was a bit out of line, they still looked a little unnatural.
"At the Supreme Council of the Coalition Forces, all the commanders and mid-level officers witnessed and signed an agreement that stipulated that in the next two battles we would distribute the spoils according to the heads of the trolls. Yes, you heard it right, by the number of decapitations, the troll head is equal to gold! ”
"The losers of the trolls in Shadralori called in thugs, maybe a thousand, maybe two thousand, three thousand at most. Kill them all, then defeat Shadraro, loot the loot, count the heads, divide the money, and go home! ”
After a moment of calm, under the leadership of hundreds of pre-prepared nurseries, the atmosphere suddenly rose, and the soldiers screamed and roared wildly, mixed with inexplicable excitement and venting inexplicable anger.
After the pledge meeting, the entire coalition army, each soldier carrying five days' rations, moved in full force to prepare to defeat the trolls head-on in the field with reinforcements from the Sinsaro Evil Branch Clan.
"Heni, I have handed over to you the three hundred soldiers that Barov had carefully cultivated, the two hundred dwarven warriors, including the Treasury Guard, and the artillery of Kurtilas. It's up to you to take down Shadralo and guard the Terminator Fortress. Carlos arranges the follow-up.
"My lord, is it necessary to make a desperate bet, we will win steadily." Heni. Mareb said with some concern.
"Heni, winter is coming, prepare in advance." Carlos ignored Heney's building and patted him on the shoulder to get on his horse and leave the fortress.
"Don't worry, General, there will be no enemy troops from Shadralo behind you." Heni. Mareb assured Carlos.
If the plan can be approved by General Audren, it will naturally not be Carlos's whim. The incident came from our King Aiden, who, after learning that the coalition had killed at least 2,000 trolls, decided that it was enough, refused to provide any more supplies and money, and demanded that the coalition retreat. And it was impossible for the Barovs to bypass the king and supply the coalition forces alone. If they are entangled by the evil branch clan of Cinchero, even if the coalition forces defeat Shadralo, they will not have time to loot the treasure and transport it back to Alterac safely. The worst result was that Shadraro could not be captured, and the coalition forces withdrew from Hinterland with heavy losses.
Therefore, the only haPPYenD option left was to crush the enemy reinforcements from Cynsaro head-on, and then smash the crispy shell of the walnut of Shadraro with a thunderous force.
At this time, the advantages of Terran urbanization were revealed, and the force of five hundred people, relying on the Terminator Fortress and a series of camps behind it, could ensure the rear of the army. There's no big problem with Mareb cowering in the Terminator Fortress and not coming out.
At the beginning of October, Hinterland had not yet completely cooled down, and the soldiers were draped in blankets and baked on bonfires, barely able to survive the night in the wilderness. During the day, the army of 5,000 marched in three ways, no more than five miles apart, and the sound of birds leaving their nests and wild beasts running all over the mountains was filled with the sound of birds leaving their nests and wild beasts running. The coalition forces did not expect to hide from the enemy, nor did they think of launching a surprise attack, as long as they found the opponent, they would do it, and whoever instigated it would die.
After two and a half days of marching, General Audren first encountered the scouts sent back by Biglas, and the coalition forces quickly redirected their march and met the vanguard of the Evil Branch Trolls at about 3 p.m.
"Carlos, what do you think, do you wait for the troops to assemble for a decisive battle or just fight like this." General Audren came down from the tree and asked Carlos.
"Fueling tactics." Carlos uttered four words cruelly.
"Well, that's a good idea." General Audren pondered for a moment, and thought it was a good idea.
If you defeat the front of the Cinchero troll with one blow, then the large army will retreat, and the coalition forces need to chase the trolls, too passive. If you wait for the troops to gather, it will be dark, and there are too many variables, and it will be necessary to fight a battle to completely drag the trolls.
So, in the forests of Hinterland near the Northwest Mountains, a massive scuffle involving more than 7,000 humanoids lasted from the afternoon until late at night, and by the time the trolls realized that something was not quite right, they were surrounded on three sides.
"Carlos, the team is all in chaos, let's camp in place and fight again tomorrow." The weaving of the entire coalition army had long been in disarray, and General Audren found Carlos in the second half of the night.
If you look at the land from the sky, you will see the light of countless torches peeking through the cracks in the trees, and the whole area looks like a bomb about to explode.
"General, this battle is very lively, in fact, neither side is injured, after dawn, the trolls can calmly retreat into the mountains, we don't have enough rations and those guys with long legs and teeth to consume." Carlos's eyes were a little red from the smoke of the crude torches.
"What do you mean?" General Audren asked.
"Let's do the following." Carlos took out his pocket watch and told the general about the time.
"In three hours, I will lead the Knights of Alterac and all the troops that can be found nearby to launch an assault, please general, gather as many other troops as you can, and join the battlefield in half an hour." Carlos took the water bladder from his hand and took a sip.
"Night battles, once you fail, it may cause panic, and the defeat will be like a mountain, and it will be difficult to gather the troops again!" General Odren was taken aback by Carlos's audacity.
"If you don't have the courage to make a desperate bet, why should you enjoy a superior life, general, you forget how much you can get if you win?" Carlos whispered in Odren's ear.
"It's done!" Audron's eyes were bloodshot as well.
Ps: The so-called philosophical flow is the ultimate tactic of the Terrans in StarCraft 2, this tactic can make our side have at least 50 more Terran strongest melee units on the battlefield scV, once the philosophical flow comes out, it is either the opponent gg or our gg, there is no other possibility.
