Chapter 1288 Harden the village, fight in a daze

Chevaru? The Broken Fist Khan led the way across the Bloodrock Gorge and set up a formation on the western side of the mountain as follows: he divided his camp into three columns along the mountain on one side. At the top of the peak, there are all the air power that the clan currently has, with a total number of just over two hundred dragoons.

Two hundred flying cavalry with strong combat effectiveness are replaced by ordinary small and medium-sized clans, which is enough to make them dominate the bottom of the box-level strategic force, but when placed here in the Shattered Fist Clan, it feels so shabby that it makes people want to cry, but this is also something that can't be helped! You must know that because the Golden Horde Khan's "Dragon's Heart" Asog had already set such an order, the flying cavalry and flying phantom beasts belonging to the major clans were all handed over to the central government, unified establishment, unified training, and unified training, as a mobile combat force directly under the Golden Horde. Standing in the lower reaches of history, we naturally know that this is the first step in the nationalization of the army, and it is also the first step in the ancient feudal army to modern times. Any wise leader who works hard will take this step.

However, the problem is that the tragedy of history is that from the standpoint of the person concerned, even if he knows that he is stifling civilization and progress, he must suppress and defend the interests of himself and the class he represents.

So, as soon as this order came out, the major clans, especially the "Broken Fist System" that had been particularly unhappy with Asog a long time ago, seriously caused a lot of large-scale group incidents. And after the Dragon's Heart cut off the heads of dozens of big people, and after the Shaman's Order carried out various activities and mud, everyone finally reluctantly accepted this setting. In addition, under the persuasion of the shamans, the dragon's heart also "showed great mercy", saying that only half of them would be recruited in the future. However, this time, as the enemy was approaching the city from all directions, Orgrimmar was at the most dangerous time, and the Golden Horde needed its own mobile forces, so those who had been recruited would not be returned.

In short, something so big happened, the young and middle-aged flying cavalry of the Shattered Fist Clan, as well as the dozens of bipedal venom wyverns who "ate better than the Khan and his wife", were naturally pulled away by Asog. Now, Gevaru can smash pots and sell iron, and bring all those air knight families who can barely control flying beasts, whether they are old enough to put half a foot in a coffin or still have snot on their faces, to bring them closer to the troops, so that they can barely put together such a "scaled" air cavalry force.

The large camp of the Chinese army of Kwaru Khan was located halfway up the mountain. Here, he chose a relatively gentle ramp and planted his flag on it. Five thousand orc gladiators, plus themselves, made up the main force of this large battalion of the Chinese army. Sitting in such a vantage point with an excellent view, Kwaru Khan not only overlooked the entire battlefield and fulfilled his obligations as the commander of the entire army, but at the same time, the three thousand best-equipped orc gladiators of the clan, plus himself, were the last general reserve of the entire army.

In addition, he placed the rest of the orc army at the foot of the mountain. This is an army of 15,000 people, and it is also the backbone of the whole army. This includes 2,000 Troll Hunters, 200 Mountain Troll Stormtroopers, and 500 Minotaur Overseers, a Chinese army that may seem like a small number, but a human army ten times its size is no problem; In addition, the wolf cavalry of 3,000 people was distributed on both wings, all riding the Dubo wolf who had been hungry for more than a day, with teeth and claws, and a bloody spirit - although the wolf cavalry of the Shattered Fist Clan was not as good as the famous Storm Clan, it was never lacking in impact and aggressiveness; Fifteen hundred centaurs rode - whether centaurs were cavalry or infantry is still a mystery - in short, these soldiers, who were born with great endurance and impact, were placed on the other side of the mountain, not facing the direction of the enemy's attack, and with their best bows and arrows, ready to attack.

In addition, there are fifty shamans in the army, which is all the magic power of the clan. The rest of nature has also been called up by the Golden Horde. "Dragonheart" Asog knew that it was normal for him to conquer the Flying Cavalry, and of course it was impossible to let go of the spellcasters who would have a strategic effect when necessary.

But in any case, although fifty is a small number, as long as you work hard, the totem poles planted may still add a buff to the army of 15,000 people on the front. In terms of aggressiveness, diversity, and even applicability, rudimentary shamanic magic can't be compared with arcane magic, elven magic, and the like, but only this totem pole plus buff is actually quite practical on the battlefield.

Of course, we all know that the status of the orcs is actually very clear at a glance. The orcs themselves are the ruling class and the talkers, which are equivalent to the male masters; The Minotaurs and Trolls are very important allies and tribal components, roughly the eldest and second ladies; Centaurs often have to do dirty talk, but at least "human rights" and political status can also be guaranteed, let's just be a concubine; The cyclops and the Beamon beast need to be worshiped by all the tribes, although theoretically they have no political discourse, but they have a lofty status close to mascots and totems, and can be regarded as mothers-in-law and ancestors.

However, compared to the above, the goblins and kobolds, who occupy an overwhelming demographic advantage in Orgrimmar, are not even footwashers, but at most footwipes.

They were driven far away to the plains of the wilderness west of the mountains to set up formation, and it was said that there were more than 100,000 people. For every 10,000 goblins and kobolds, there is a convenient centaur hundred cavalry to serve as an overseer.

Under the persecution of the centaurs, the goblins and kobolds dug more than five hundred meters wide and more than ten kilometers long in the flat ground west of the Bloodrock Ridge, full of ravines and traps. It wasn't a decent project, but if you think about it carefully, the amount of earthwork is actually quite large, and these goblins and kobolds have completed almost all of the work in less than a day under the threat of the whips, iron rods, and knives of the centaurs...... I have to say that once there is enough whipping, these lazy and lazy semi-civilized animals that seem to be far from civilization (whether goblins and kobolds are intelligent creatures or not has always been a topic of considerable controversy in the academic circles) are really the perfect labor race!

Goblins and kobolds stood in formation in the potholed terrain they had dug themselves, waiting for their work while waiting for the enemy to arrive. Normally, as long as there is a war, as long as there is no victory, the goblins and kobolds will always tremble, like a group of frightened herbivores.

Guevaru explained his formation as follows: "If the jugglers arrived, the slaves and the potholed terrain would wear out their strength. When they're really exhausted and rush to the bottom of the mountain, we can give them a head-on blow! They will soon begin to weaken and panic. At that time, the gladiators under my command will be able to charge head-on, and in about a single shot the enemy will be able to break the enemy, and the cavalry on both wings and behind the mountain will outflank the pursuit, and will surely win a brilliant victory! ”

Guevaru is not just a reckless man who will take his muscular brothers and nobles to the past, but he also understands a little tactical arrangement. From this point alone, he is superior to ninety percent of the orc clan khans...... It's a little subtle, though.

"This is really, a clear formation! Is this counting on us to press through, break through the lines they have prepared with cannon fodder and potholes, exhausted, and then be met head-on by their main troops? Lu Hope looked at the potholed field in front of him, the dense army of kobolds and goblins in it, and the enemy's Chinese army on the distant mountain range, and saw through the other party's intentions at a glance.

"However, under normal circumstances, we really can't do anything with such a formation." Lu Xi's deputy commander, Eamon? Lieutenant General Wilambat smiled helplessly: "It's not that I have destroyed my own ambition, but in fact, our army, in the vast majority of cases, actually lacks the ability to attack tough battles. Fighting enemies in such potholes, even goblins and kobolds, does not necessarily give you an advantage. Once it becomes a bad battle, even if you win, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled helplessly: "The enemy's main force is too far from here, more than five hundred meters. That's more than the magic range of most of our battle mages, well, even a flaming crossbow can't reach that distance. Sadly, kobolds and goblins are cheaper than the arrows of a flaming crossbow, a thunderstorm javelin, or even a common crossbow! Without long-range bombardment by warships carrying magic crystal cannons, it would have been difficult for us to make progress. ”

Lu Xi glanced at the other party and thought to himself, you are really sad, the federal army's combat effectiveness has always been a cheat, so that the only tactic that generals at all levels know is the so-called "hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle", right? That's sad! Of course, if it is replaced by the late period of a certain dynasty in his hometown, because of the various deaths of civilian officials, the central military system collapsed, and the only tactic of the generals at all levels in the back is to lead the elite family to the pig, it will be even more sad...... Well, without the protagonist, the Federation would have really fallen to this point in a few decades.

Thinking of this, Lu Xi sighed and patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, rest assured, Your Excellency my deputy commander, it's the most annoying thing to break the station, we won't do it, and I'll leave it to the allies here." ”

Lu Xi said to Brigadier General Gezeet again: "Then, pass the order." Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the army does not need to stop, and cedes the battlefield to the elves and dwarves, and we bypass each other and gather from here at the Black Crow Pass and Longwei Slope, fifteen kilometers to the southwest. It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and before the sun set, the whole army had to reach its destination. ”

The second and third men of the Fourth Legion looked at each other and hesitated for two seconds, and Brigadier General Gezet, who was on the staff, advised with great professionalism: "But, Your Excellency, if only the dwarves and elves are left to confront each other here, our flanks will be exposed to the enemy on the march." In addition, if the lone army rashly climbs over the Black Crow Pass and the Longwei Slope, it is very likely that they will be attacked by the cavalry of the 'Children of the Wind' Thor. To be honest, until now, our flying cavalry and winged scouts have not found their main force in the vast sea of grass. ”

"It's not about exposing the flanks to the enemy. Because, the enemy on the hill will soon be wiped out, and we don't have to worry about a group of dead people coming to find trouble. Lu Xi smiled very happily: "And...... Didn't I say that? It is to divide the troops! If you don't divide your troops, it won't be fun after that! ”

He paused, and before the two deputies questioned, he pointed to the mountains on the side: "Also, inform the people of Auckland, there are more than a thousand malicious red dots hidden between the mountains over there...... Ah no, the enemy, probably a centaur, wants to storm our chrysanthemums or something after victory. Fortunately, there is actually a valley between the mountains, and the terrain is quite flat, which is very suitable for the centaurs to suddenly kill, and of course, it is also very suitable for the cyan lancers to teach them how to behave! ”

"Well, but, sir, the scouts didn't find anything." The other party said.

"So, what the hell are the casters who know prophecy not to be on the front line to investigate!" Lu Xi sighed. He knew that this was a downright institutional problem. After all, the spellcasters are all aristocratic masters, and the casters who mainly focus on prophecy are the rarest category, how can such a superior person do the "grassroots work" of scouts? For example, his brain-dead fan No. 1 Liszt's junior brother is quite an excellent prophetic magician, but the other party is a member of the staff, and Lu Xi is embarrassed to order the other party to ride a horned eagle and go to the front line of danger to do reconnaissance work. Although Lu Xi also knew that the prestige in the minds of his current group of bear children was about to the point where no one would hesitate to send them to death.

"Shaman's totem pole doesn't have to just add a little bit of a buff like Strength or Bloodlust, it can also create illusions. It couldn't have been easier to hide from the Scout's naked eye. Lu Xi said, and then waved his hand: "The enemies here are handed over to the allies, and we should also have our business." ”

The two generals were still a little skeptical. They weren't worried about the dwarves and elves at all, plus 5,000 Oakland cavalry armed to the teeth would be able to outwhelm the outwhelmed orc clans. However, they don't think that the other party will be able to win a quick victory if they put on such a picture of a bad fight with you. However, if they could not quickly defeat the main orc force on the mountain range, their wolf cavalry could still break away from the battlefield and threaten the flank of the Fourth Legion's march.

However, Lu Xi's order has already been given, and as an assistant, he can only carry it out. Gezette thought about it for a while, and arranged the infantry of the two thousand men who were more capable of fighting, as well as all the constructed puppets, to the last group of marches. In this way, if the enemy's wolf cavalry really roared out, they could quickly establish an interception line.

On the other hand, the orcs and elves, who were much more disciplined than the (comparatively) rabble Fourth Legion, had quickly completed their formation. The dwarven hoplites, holding their shields, spread out in front of the goblins and kobolds in this way, forming an iron-footed formation. But the orcs didn't dare to move. They originally thought that the enemy was the federal army, but the more than 20,000 elite elf and dwarf armies were completely out of budget, which made the high-ranking clan leaders of all sizes with broken fists currently in a state of confusion, and they didn't know how to give orders.

"If it really doesn't work, let the slaves break off, and we'll withdraw!" Kvaru held back the groove in his heart, and patiently comforted his subordinates: "However, we must not flee without a fight, in this way, the pride in the hearts of the soldiers and the people will be completely trampled on, and we will never be able to pick it up again!" ”

He still had a point, and the soldiers who broke the fist felt that they could hold on to the rescue a little longer.

So, in the confusion of the orcs, the elven hunters also formed a shooting formation after the iron formation.

"Don't be afraid! The Wood Elves can't reach this place with their arrows at all! At most, they can only attack slaves on flat ground. But kobolds and goblin slaves are cheaper than arrows with long ears! Guevaru continued.

The soldiers who broke the fist felt that what the Great Khan said was indeed very reasonable! So I decided to keep going.

However, the Wood Elves did not open their bows, but waited for the Dwarven Engineers to erect a large cylindrical object on the hillside behind them.

What an MDZZ! The orcs on the opposite mountain still didn't react, so Lu Xi muttered like this, and then looked at the sky. As a legendary spellcaster, his vision was already comparable to that of a reconnaissance satellite, and with the addition of the clairvoyance of prophecy, his vision quickly passed through the sea of clouds and captured a black spot in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

"See everything here, and then give it back to your master in every detail." Lu Xi thought.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" After a continuous roar of thunder, the cannonballs easily swept through the hundreds of meters of "defensive line" composed of goblins and kobolds, covering the orc array of the mountain range in a sea of fire. This method of warfare, while subverting the imagination of the orcs, of course, also subverted the three views of the rabble of the Fourth Legion.

There was a sudden uproar in the marching array. When they were training, they had already seen the situation when the guide cannon fired, but the huge destructive power of the collapsed mountain and cracked rock after dozens of cannons fired in unison still scared these soldiers who had never seen blood out of their bodies. There were even many people who were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and cried "Mom" while holding their heads and squatting. The officers at all levels did not behave very well, and it took a long time to recover from the shock, and began to kick and beat the frightened soldiers one by one and pull them back into the queue.

"So, rookies, you still have to wait for a while for your first cry in this world!" Lu Xi looked at the weak chickens under his command and shook his head. However, unlike officers at all levels who were full of wry smiles, helplessness and shame, he, the supreme commander, actually had a smile.
