Chapter 174: How can Blood Valentine's Day not be a big bomb
According to the Solatin calendar used by the humans of Azeroth, today is the 14th of February.
For others, the date doesn't mean anything, it's a commonplace, it's an ordinary day.
But for Carlos, it was an extraordinary day, because it was Valentine's Day, a Valentine's Day that he had never had the opportunity to celebrate in his previous life.
The troll's non-stop onslaught continued for four days, and to this day, Carlos and his army had crushed countless forest spirits and slashed countless kobolds.
If it weren't for the fact that the trolls' poisoning of the forest spirits made the human soldiers deeply jealous, the beast legion commanded by the troll tamers would be the favorite of the human soldiers. Now, however, there was a mountain of fur piling up, and there was no time to tann it, and some of the smelly furs were piled up on large flatbed trucks.
Although the poisonous gas emitted by the death of the forest spirit had a great impact on the soldiers of the coalition army, the abundant reserve troops kept the first line of defense firmly in the hands of Carlos.
"Carlos, it's been four days, far beyond the time limit you set for retreat, aren't we going to retreat?"
Aurelia asks Carlos about it during a break in the battle.
"Isn't that good, your compatriots have more time to evacuate."
Carlos also smelled the poisonous gas emitted by some forest spirits during a battle to reinforce the southern outposts, and the whole person was not very comfortable, and his tone was not friendly.
"You know I didn't mean that, I'm your comrade-in-arms now, responsible for the comfort of more than a thousand soldiers, and I'm asking you as a general, Your Excellency Supreme Commander."
Aurelia was also a little displeased, her brows furrowed slightly, and she formally stated her position.
"I'm sorry, Lin Jing's fart made my head flutter. If my words make you feel uncomfortable, then please wait until I'm comfortable before you vent to me. ”
Carlos's words made Aurelia cry and laugh, and finally nodded helplessly, indicating that he didn't bother with sick guys.
"Well, then, listen up, Elven General. The plan is dead. Man is alive. The trolls and orcs clearly want to drain our energy with cannon fodder, and then the armies will press on and annihilate us in one fell swoop. If we retreat without a fight, fools know that there are ghosts. ”
Carlos expressed his plan very vaguely.
"You mean ......"
Aurelia understood what Carlos was trying to say, but she couldn't put it into words.
"Are you sure it works?"
Aurelia couldn't help but be suspicious.
"It's more useful than you think, now get your people ready, there aren't many cannon fodder for trolls, and it is estimated that today, we will have to fight the tribe in a short fight." I've been putting my people at the top for the past few days, right now. It's time for your elves to exert their strength. ”
After Carlos finished speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, and the poisonous gas of the forest spirit made his chest feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
As Carlos had expected, the trolls finally launched a formal attack as the winter sun reflected on the ground through the shade of the trees.
The attack of the past few days was like a game compared to today. Fatigue agents are not lethal, but they are invisible. The Poisoner's combat effectiveness was still greatly weakened, which made Carlos's rotation arrangement useless.
Aurelia led the Elven Rangers to the front of the line. A rain of arrows fell on the ridge a meter above the troll. The fortifications worked perfectly, and the trolls found themselves underestimating the sharp stakes and large and small potholes and ravines buried in the ground. A charge without impact speed was a joke, and the first wave of the troll's charge ended in nothing, leaving behind a hundred or so corpses, and the troll retreated.
But it didn't give Aurelia much rest. The trolls, carrying large, crude wooden shields, launched a second attack.
Fresh, and smelling of tree sap, the wooden shield is simply a natural enemy of bows and arrows and fire arrows. And moist firewood has a natural restraint on the chopping of knives and axes -- elastic firewood can jam the blades of those weapons.
The troll pushed forward slowly and unhurriedly, so that Aurelia didn't have a good way to target it.
"Marshal Aurelia, what shall we do?"
"Evacuate half of the men and go to the back fortification. Others stand by and snipe unprotected enemies with precision. ”
Aurelia did not panic, because under the guidance of Carlos's tactical thinking, the entire defense line had a total of five fortifications, and the first fortification was not as important as imagined. And the trolls' tactics, while sound, are very time-consuming. time, which is exactly what the alliance needs.
Although the trolls suffered a lot of losses, under Zujin's determination, the trolls' attacks continued like a tidal wave.
When Carlos returned to his main position from his southern outpost, Aurelia had retreated to the third line of defense, and the Ranger Lord, who had just repelled an enemy attack, gasped.
"How's it going?"
After half a day, Carlos felt much more comfortable, and with his strong physique, the troll's fatigue potion could not work for a long time.
"It's not good, because of the poisonous gas of the tribe, more than a third of our soldiers are in a weak state, and they can't effectively rotate the garrison, and in less than half a day, we have lost two lines of defense. How about our outpost posts? ”
Although Aurelia knew that Carlos had returned safely and that the outposts would be fine, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, we have a good location, I took my men and horses over to launch a counter-attack, the south is temporarily safe, now I go to the north to see, the main position has been handed over to you."
Carlos patted Aurelia on the shoulder like a buddy, and exchanged the other party's speechless eyes.
"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure we stay where we are before it gets dark."
Aurelia assured solemnly.
"No, preserving strength is the first priority, anyway, it's a position to be abandoned, with the purpose of killing the enemy's living forces."
Carlos leaned into Aurelia's long ear and whispered.
Although these words are an established strategy known to senior officers, they are absolutely not suitable for ordinary soldiers to hear.
Aurelia nodded, indicating that she understood. Carlos's hot blow made her ears itch and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Your ears move!"
Carlos expressed surprise at his discovery, which was met with an angry scolding from Aurelia.
"Get out of here!"
So, under the tactical guidance of killing the trolls as the first priority, Aurelia finally lost the third line of defense when the sun was sinking and hastily retreated to the fourth line.
In the distant woods, Zu Jin looked at the battle ahead with burning eyes, and his mood was surging.
Aurelia. Windranger, is that troll executioner finally failing?
"Attack! Even night battles will be carried out at any cost, and the enemy army will be completely defeated! ”
Zukin gave the order. (To be continued......)
