Chapter 517: Pursuit
In addition to those who hung up on the spot, there were dozens of death knights who were burned into torches, and they relied on the power of death in their bodies to extinguish the fire, which was also a lot of consumption, and their strength, speed, and endurance were reduced to varying degrees.
"Re-form the formation, the enemy still has flaws!" Farrick had the courage to break through the line of defense in front of the coalition forces, and the army behind him would be a herd of lambs to the slaughter.
But he didn't expect that the coalition army was already on guard, and there were traps and night elves to help buy time, and at this time, the large army was running at a relatively efficient speed.
Coalition forces rushed out from all sides, condescending, constantly attacking the Death Knight with ranged weapons.
"For Kazmodan!"
"For Quel'Thalas!"
Dwarves and blood elves are also very fast.
The Blood Elves have more enchanted arrows, and the arrows rain down on the ranks of the undead. Ah Qiang charges the front line with a big sword every day, pretending to be a warrior, but in fact it is all forced, his archery skills are better, standing on the battlements at this time, holding a golden bow of Quel'Salas, he deals with those death knights who are relatively slow to move, almost one arrow at a time.
The dwarven soldier threw a warhammer at the enemy after the blood elf.
The druids came into action, consciously mitigating the impact of wind and rain on the fire.
Last to appear are the humans, with mages casting spells to make the flames burn more violently, and soldiers throwing rows of javelins at Death Knights and Spider Demons.
This tactic is to throw money at it, first use long-range weapons to kill the spot, and then rely on the burning oil to clear the field.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to the Gate of Damnation! "Following Alsace's expedition to the north and south, Farrick was also an experienced commander, and seeing that the raid was a complete failure, the army of the undead was defeated, so he could only give the order to retreat.
The Death Knights were all horses and could float in the air, they were the fastest, the flames on the ground barely affected them, the spiders were a little slower, and the short-legged undead soldiers were the last.
"Your Highness! Let's go after it! Take the Gate of Damnation in one fell swoop! ”
"Yes, the whole army will attack and completely destroy the undead!"
The generals all admired Vanessa's foresight, and how accurate she was! If you say a sneak attack, there is a sneak attack, and a large number of the undead elites died, and the coalition forces did not suffer any casualties except for a night without a good night's sleep.
They selectively forgot about the previous arguments, and their morale was high, and they wanted to win the gate of damnation in one fell swoop.
Vanessa carefully read everyone's expressions and found that the generals were in high spirits, and even the incomparably steady old Verding was a little moved.
At this time, the pursuit seemed meaningless to her, her goal had always been to kill the casualties, how many kills could be killed, the gains and losses of one city and one place did not matter, and if she killed all the undead, there was no need to attack the Gate of Damnation.
But for the morale of the coalition army, she knew that she couldn't continue to suppress it, this was the coalition army, not Lordaeron's army, even if it was all Lordaeron's army, ten fingers were not aligned, she couldn't help but consider the opinions of all sides.
Unifying ideas is easier said than done.
From this point of view, the coalition forces are not as unified as the Lich King's orders.
After weighing the pros and cons of several parties, she still chose the most beneficial way for herself.
She looked at everyone: "Tonight is stormy, and the sight and road are not suitable for pursuit. Faric is not a famous general, but he has been fighting with Alsace for many years, and he is not stupid, even if he withdraws, I guess he will arrange for the best soldiers to be the queen of His Highness, and if we attack, we will definitely be ambushed......"
Darius, known as the Tiger of Gilneis. Crore said loudly, "Which noble family does Farric come from? He's a farmer's son, and he knows how to fight! The enemy has been routed, and it is a good time to pursue! Hesitating, worrying about this and worrying about that, what kind of battle is there to fight! I'm willing to lead the team in pursuit! I will not return to camp until these enemies are annihilated! ”
Dalius. Although Crolley is counted in Lordaeron's battle sequence, the nature of his guest army is more, and more often it is just the name of a Lordaeron Ninth Legion, but Lordaeron is not bad for them, and all kinds of supplies are the same, so he is ready to prove himself and prove that the Gilneys do not eat rice.
Vanessa persuaded Darius. Crowley was stubborn and insisted on going, and finally agreed to his pursuit.
"Lord Crowley, please be careful, the enemy may set up ambushes at several intersections!"
There was no allegiance between the two sides, more like Lordaeron hired them to fight, Darius. A great nobleman like Crowley was so anxious that he even cut down the king, and he didn't take the advice to heart at all, and took his soldiers to pursue the army of the undead.
Twenty-five minutes later, the scout arrived.
"High lord Darius. Crowley was defeated, more than a thousand soldiers were killed, and the Great Lord was wounded! They are slowly withdrawing to the main camp. ”
Vanessa sighed, feeling sorry for the loss of her own soldiers, this gang of second forces was originally a very stable victory, but it turned out to be like this.
The kings and leaders of the coalition saw her face change drastically, and they also recalled her previous assertion that the enemy had an ambush, is it so powerful? Expect things like gods!
Muradin. Copperbeard walked out quickly: "I know Faric, I also taught him swordsmanship back then, this guy is a little smart, a failure is nothing, I am willing to lead the team to continue the pursuit!" I will definitely be able to cut off his head this time! ”
Several of the dwarven generals responded one after another, and the dwarven Kazmodan Kingdom sent 40,000 troops, second only to Lordaeron in the coalition army, and Vanessa had to give face.
She already had a new plan in mind.
But what to say is still to say: "The Lich King can observe the situation here, Farrick is his loyal lackey, once this henchman is besieged, he will definitely send troops to help, we better ......"
Before she could finish her words, she was killed by Muradin. Copperbeard interrupted: "Little girl, you are too cautious, no one knows Arthas and his men better than me, you don't have to worry at all!" Wait for my good news! ”
Muradin. Copperbeard soon led the dwarven elite in pursuit.
This time it was a little longer, and forty minutes later, the scout was covered in blood, with arrows stuck in his back, and ran back in a state of embarrassment.
"Muradin. Prince Copperbeard had already defeated Farrick's rear troops, but the Lich King suddenly sent Salene to attack, flanking back and forth, and the Prince's soldiers were defeated! ”
Defeated again? The kings and leaders took a breath in unison, and they looked at Vanessa with their peripheral eyes, and they were said to be right again!
Vanessa was actually not comfortable, she estimated that the result this time would be a five-five victory, which allowed Muradin's to pursue, but she didn't expect the Lich King to mobilize his troops faster than she expected.
