"It's too risky!" Lufasi reminded: "For the sake of these centaurs, it is too risky to put the whole army in danger! ”

"I don't want to, Mr. Lufasi!" "We are new to the enemy's territory, and we need a victory to encourage the whole army; And if we don't get rid of these annoying creatures, they'll be harassing us endlessly, and our marching speed will be greatly affected. If we don't get a foothold before the enemy reacts, we could be wiped out! Such an adventure, worth a try! ”

Lu Fasi also knew that Higg's expedition was already a desperate gamble, this was an extremely risky strategic action, if he followed the rules and moved forward cautiously, it would be impossible to do anything at all, and only by taking it by surprise and thinking that the enemy would not dare to think about it, could he take the initiative.

"Tonight, Xiao Baiyun and I will personally survey the terrain!" Higg said, "Mr. Lufasi, you are in charge of the Chinese army!" It's unlikely that the enemy will act tonight, but don't be careless! ”

"Boy, I've fought more battles than you, do I need you to remind me?"

……

In the evening of the next day, the exhausted logistics troops, led by Thomas, marched to the designated camping site, and Higg's main army had already left.

"Camp on the spot, all the staff are well fed, and tonight is on first-level alert!" Thomas commanded.

All the sergeants and logisticians cheered, for them, the enemy situation was too ethereal, and being able to eat well was the best reward.

As night fell, Thomas arranged his forces on the periphery according to Higg's arrangement, with pack horses and dwarven slaves concentrated in the middle, loose inside and tight outside.

Needless to say, having the least number of troops, the weakest strength, and the least mobility, they will naturally become the enemy's preferred target.

The campfire was extinguished, and the camp was quiet, but Thomas, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled danger in the air. There were no cavalry in the expeditionary force, and Thomas, who had always been a pioneer, was arranged to be the minister of logistics. Now that he has become the enemy's sweetheart, he is excited in his heart.

"Woo~~" The expected horn sounded, and in the jungle under the night, countless centaurs rushed out from all directions, and before they reached Thomas's camp, countless flying spears came from the air.

"Enemy attack! - Shouts shouted from all over the camp, and a distress flare went up.

Thomas, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately organized the dwarven warriors to form a defensive formation to block the enemy's attack on the camp, and the thousand crossbowmen who had been waiting in the trees at the same time shot at the rapidly rushing centaurs.

Although the shooting distance of the new repeater is not as good as the original bow and crossbow, and the accuracy is also lacking, but the hard truth of only fast and unbroken is used to the extreme, and the arrow magazine of ten arrows can be shot in less than half a minute, and the target is those large numbers, huge size but weak defense, the condescending crossbowmen quickly shot the hundreds of centaurs who had rushed into the camp into hedgehogs, but more centaurs rushed over and melee with the phalanx of dwarven warriors, and the crossbowmen had to reduce their rate of fire, to improve the accuracy of shooting.

Centaurs attack heavily and lightly defend, and maneuver extremely fast, while dwarven warriors are the opposite, heavy on defense and light on attack, and are extremely capricious, but the maneuvering speed is too slow. The task of the dwarven warriors is to stalemate with their opponents, allowing the condescending crossbowmen to shoot the centaurs within range at will, and for a while, the two sides are inseparable.

"Deadwood Guard! —" The sentinels shouted in remind.

Dozens of more heavily defended and lightly attacked, less mobile, but super-powerful Deadwood Guards entered the fray. The arrows of the crossbowmen did little damage to these Deadwood Guards. Thomas was even more worried that if there were Deadwood Guards in the war, there must be druids nearby.

Boom, several fireballs from Thomas's mage regiment hit the Deadwood Guards, but the Deadwood Guards only shook their bodies a few times before continuing slowly towards the camp.

There were only a dozen magicians assigned by Thomas, and in the face of a battle of this magnitude, it could not be of much use.

Offensive magic has limited damage to the Deadwood Guards, and those clever mages have instead used slowing magic skills on them, making the already slow Deadwood Guards even more sluggish. These deadwood guards can't be allowed to get close to the camp, to get close to the dwarven phalanx, and if they were allowed to engage in winding, it would be a nightmare for the dwarven warriors.

Fortunately, the number of Deadwood Guards was not too many, and under the control of the mage and the suppression of the crossbowmen, they struggled to move forward slowly.

More and more centaurs besieged them, hoping for a quick victory, but the dwarven warriors stopped them on the outskirts of the camp and became a target for the crossbowmen. The corpses of countless centaurs lay in pools of blood. But the dwarven warriors also suffered heavy casualties, and the crossbowmen in the trees were also hit by flying spears one after another, falling from the trees, and the overwhelming numerical centaur army slowly took control of the situation.

Thomas had to join the dwarven phalanx, spear in hand, and fight the murderous centaurs.

"Bang bang bang!" Only three dull sounds were heard, and the three deadwood guards, who were hit by three arrows, immediately flew debris and fell to the ground.

"Boom-" A huge hellfire exploded among the Deadwood Guards, and five or six Deadwood Guards immediately caught fire, blazing, and turned into black charcoal in the blink of an eye.

"Warriors, hold on, our reinforcements have arrived!" Thomas shouted.

A white shadow burst out of the jungle, and Little White Cloud flew high and jumped into the crowd of centaurs. Dressed in golden armor and holding a long sword, Sig swung his sword and slashed at the two centaurs beside him at the moment when Xiao Baiyun landed, and the human part of the centaur was immediately cut off by the waist, and flesh and blood flew sideways. Little White Cloud rampaged through the crowd of centaurs, and the spiral horn on his forehead became his weapon to open the way, invincible. In the blink of an eye, he entered the dwarven phalanx.

Thomas, who had already lost the upper hand, let out a huge cheer, and his morale was suddenly high.

"Young marshal!" Covered in blood, Thomas hurriedly stepped forward and shouted excitedly.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on, I'll let Lu Faxi outflank, I'll come over to support first!" Higg said.

"Great!" Thomas said excitedly, "The young marshal is in charge, and see how I kill the enemy!" ”

"Lufasi still needs time to deploy the encirclement, we can't scare the enemy away!" Higg said, "It's better for you to command in the center, fight and retreat, slowly shrink, and when Lufasi launches a general attack, you will fight back with all your might!" ”

"No, the young marshal personally commands in order to boost morale the most!" Thomas said hurriedly.

"I'm going to get those druids out, hahaha!" After Higg finished speaking, he patted the little white cloud, and immediately rushed out of the encirclement again and disappeared into the night. Where Xiao Baiyun passed, he left a bloody path.

If they don't destroy the druids, they'll always summon the mighty Deadwood Guardians to join the warband until their mana is completely depleted. Therefore, Higg had to clear the Druid phalanx and clear the way for Thomas and Lufasi's counterattack. These druids did not summon deadwood warriors, but relatively weak guards, indicating that this group of druids was not too capable and would not be too difficult to find their position.

Their position was not difficult to find, it was nothing more than a few commanding heights with a wide field of vision nearby, and Higg and Little Baiyun soon saw more than twenty druids commanding the Deadwood Guards in battle from a distance on the small hillside in the northeast corner, surrounded by more than a dozen Deadwood Guards.

Little Baiyun was about to rush over, but was grabbed by Higg.

This battle was the first major battle since Higg entered the Druid's territory, and in addition to winning to inspire the whole army, it was best to wipe out these border guards, leaving a way out for his rear, and doing things cleanly, so that he could have one more way to live. Lu Fasi has not yet moved, and if he alarms these druids now, it is likely that the other party will be alerted, and order the withdrawal of troops and hide in the jungle, so that it will be difficult for him to have another chance to annihilate them! If so, these centaurs, who are good at hand-to-hand combat and familiar with the tactics of guerrilla warfare, will bring endless trouble to their rear.

Wait, endure, even though Higg knew that Thomas's side had suffered heavy losses, but he had no choice.

"Woo~~" With a horn sounded, the dwarven warriors all over the mountains rushed out from all directions, and behind the dwarves, there were countless elven archers and crossbowmen, surrounding the entire battlefield, but leaving a gap in the northeast direction.

Higg immediately slapped his horse and rushed towards the druid position, and at the same time, the Phantom Bow shot three arrows, and the three deadwood guards standing between him and the druids immediately fell to the ground, and then, the second wave of three arrows entered the druid phalanx from the entire void* again, and the three druids, who had no idea what was happening, died with a whimper.

Xiao Baiyun's speed was too fast, and Sigg didn't have a chance to shoot an arrow for the third time, and he had already fallen in front of the phalanx. So he put away his bow and drew his sword, flew away from Xiao Baiyun, cast a group of slow play in the air, and then smashed into the druid phalanx, the sword light of the prophet flickered, and in an instant, several more druids were reimbursed.

The druids, who were engrossed in directing the battle of the deadwood warriors, reacted and went berserk, turning into more than a dozen brown bears and surrounding Higg in the middle, while Xiao Baiyun had been entangled by the deadwood guards on the periphery, and Hig could only rely on himself to fight hand-to-hand with these dozen brown bears.

Higg disrupted the druid phalanx, and the deadwood guards who attacked Thomas's camp immediately lost control and stalked around the centaurs around him, and Thomaston felt the pressure drop sharply.

The addition of the main army caught the centaur warriors off guard, and was caught by the opponent inside and outside, and the momentum was fierce, and as soon as they came into contact with a photo, the centaurs suffered heavy casualties.

Lu Fasi did not let the dwarven warriors go deep into the enemy group to fight hand-to-hand, but immediately formed a small phalanx of more than a dozen people around the square, and arranged seven or eight elven archers and crossbowmen in the phalanx to shoot freely. The dwarven warriors with low attack power but strong defense, and the crossbowmen and elven archers with low defense but strong attack power, are simply a perfect combination, each small phalanx is simply a small pillbox, and the pillbox slaughters the centaurs within the range of the surrounding range.

The centaur army immediately disorganized, and after a pointless little resistance, began to scatter and break through. Then they found that except for a gap in the northeast corner, all other directions were surrounded and killed! Even the simple-minded centaurs knew that the gap was a trap deliberately left by their opponents, but in a panic, they had no choice. So, stepping on the corpses of his comrades, he quickly broke through in the direction of the northeast corner.
