Chapter 159: Trench Warfare
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhuo found the leader of the horse tribe and asked if the enemy who was chasing them was among the other tribes, and the answer was yes, and Zhuo asked him if he would be interested in sneaking up on the garrisons of those tribes.
In the hinterland of the Sword Tribe Alliance, the wolf cavalry relied on the existence of the ghost wolf and the strength of the giant wolf itself, while the mounts of the horse tribe knights were not as strong as the giant wolf, so they wanted to toss and turn in the hinterland of the Knife Tribe, which would be more troublesome.
But fortunately, the horse tribe is very familiar with this land, so it will be a lot less risky to move around.
"Good. ”
The leader of the horse tribe immediately agreed, and after learning what the wolf tribe had done, they wanted to do it, but they didn't have time to ask for instructions.
"The combat power of the horse tribe is not as strong as that of the wolf tribe, and the time to learn the bow and arrow is short, don't do the things of strong attacks, you should rely on the speed of the war horse is not inferior to the giant wolf, and the guerrilla is the mainstay. ”
Seeing that the leader of the Ma tribe did not listen to his words, he did not let the horse tribe set off immediately, but made up for the guerrilla war against him overnight.
This is also the tactics passed down by the Fifth Xuan, using the set of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance", this is because the last time the Fifth Xuanjian Wolf Tribe had insufficient impact power, and the tactics specially customized for them.
This set of tactics is coupled with bows and arrows, as long as it is not a particularly narrow battlefield, do not fall into the trap, and the wolf tribe is almost invincible.
Whether it was the last sneak attack on the Alliance Tribes of the Sword Tribe, or this time, this method was used.
And he is getting more and more familiar with it, there are often sneak attacks here this afternoon, and a sneak attack by a tribe that is very far away overnight, which makes each tribe feel insecure, and it can be called elusive.
Zhuo knew very little about this method of warfare, although he also had a giant wolf to ride, but the soldiers under his command were all infantry and had never used this method of warfare.
But every time the Fifth Xuan talks about the tactics of war, he will gather all the generals, so he will also hear it, and there is also the post-war summary meeting established by the Fifth Xuan, and he can also listen to the summary of the Fox and absorb some experience from it.
The leader of the horse tribe slowly understood the meaning of Zhuo in Zhuo's explanation, and he felt that this kind of combat method was inherently designed for the warriors of the horse tribe.
Their impact is not as powerful as that of the wolf tribe, but they are very fast and better at long-distance running than the wolf tribe, which allows them to use this tactic even more extremely.
"I'm going to ask for advice for two more days before I leave the group. ”
In the next two days, the leader of the horse tribe did not leave Zhuo's side, and asked for advice whenever he had any questions, and if Zhuo did not answer any questions well, he asked the wolf witch or the wolf tribe warriors who participated in the battle to answer them.
On the third day, the leader of the horse tribe set out, and he did not take all the horse tribe warriors with him, because he felt that too many people were not suitable in the dense hinterland of the sword tribe alliance, but chose the same force as the deer: a thousand people.
On the day of the departure of the horse tribe, there was also a team on the side of the Knife Tribe Alliance that got the news that the station was attacked and left, and the leader of the horse tribe directly led the warriors to fall far behind the road, and directly attacked a team of three hundred people.
When the leader of the horse tribe and the warriors threw the heads of those people in front of the Sword Tribe Alliance, he really shocked the soldiers of the Sword Tribe Alliance, especially those small and medium-sized tribe warriors, who were in a dilemma for a while.
And at this moment, Zhuo suddenly ordered a thousand steps forward, and the fox tribe side by side also put on a posture of overwhelming the territory.
There was a commotion in the Knife Tribe Alliance, and the troops were hurriedly preparing to fight, but the Knife Tribe and the Fox Tribe stopped, and began to set up tents, posing as if they were stationed in place.
Between the ups and downs of their minds, the soldiers of the Sword Tribe Alliance only felt as if they had fought a big battle, how could they be in the mood to attack it, and after repeatedly confirming that the Fire Tribe Alliance and the Fox Tribe were not going to attack, they also relaxed.
The leader of the horse tribe left and began to attack the Knife Tribe Alliance team, which made the team of the Knife Tribe Alliance continue to shrink, and the temper of the leader of the Knife Tribe became more and more irritable day by day.
And although he himself is cautious, his temper is indeed quite short-tempered, and it was only the fox tribe witch who has been helping him with ideas before, and every time the idea is good, he has not shown this irritability.
At this time, no one could suppress his temper at all, so a few days later, the leader of the Sword Tribe who couldn't help it launched a sneak attack on the Fire Tribe Alliance one night.
This was the first time that the two tribal alliances had come into direct contact, and the two had been avoiding this war for a long time, but as the leader of the Knife Tribe lost his mind, war inevitably broke out.
This was a sneak attack that was known in advance, and the news was that the leader of the fox tribe had obtained it from the small tribes in the Knife Tribe Alliance, and Zhuo, who knew about it, had carefully arranged it that night.
He himself dug criss-crossing trenches in the garrison, placed countless horse-resisting stakes, and wanted to attack on the flat ground, and it was impossible to fight unscrupulously in the garrison.
A small number of rejection stakes may not be a big problem, but crisscrossing the trenches will leave the enemy trapped in them.
Because of the last move, the current Fire Tribe Alliance has dug two criss-crossing trenches and used this time to connect them.
The arrangement of Zhuo is to fight and retreat, using complex trenches to constantly consume the enemy, until the whole team retreats to the end of the trenches and then counterattacks, and agrees with the leader of the fox tribe to counterattack the signal.
That night, the north wind was howling in the sky, and the snow was everywhere, and the visibility was very poor, so it was said that such weather was not suitable for a sneak attack.
But the leader of the Knife Tribe is really angry, there is constantly news that the tribe has been sneak attacked, and there are constantly teams that want to retreat, how can he continue to endure.
Not to mention this kind of weather, even if there are knives in the sky, he will sneak back.
The irritability that has been suppressed by the fox tribe for many years has all erupted, and the explosive power formed is very terrifying.
The entire Knife Tribe Alliance was shrouded in his irascible emotions, and many tribes recognized the emotions of the leader of the Knife Tribe, and they were filled with a desire for revenge.
So they braved the wind and snow to enter the Fire Tribe camp, and in the face of the first layer of horse rejection stakes, they frantically slaughtered them, and until they crossed the first layer of horse rejection stakes, they did not see the enemy.
If they had come to their senses at this time, they might have noticed the problem, but at this time, the leader of the horse tribe kept urging in the rear, and all the warriors were grumpy and charged.
The crowd rushed into the first layer of tents in the Fire Tribe Alliance's station, but still found no enemies.
At this time, someone finally felt that something was wrong, but before these suspicious people could shout, the first group of people to enter the Fire Tribe had already let out the cry of fighting.
At the same time, the sound of swords clashing was heard continuously, and everyone began to rush forward again, and people continued to fall into the trenches deep in one person.
The Fire Tribe warriors, who had already been in ambush, fought and retreated, and the narrow trenches made it impossible for the Sword Tribe's numerical advantage to be brought into play.
In the trenches, there were not only people from the Fire Tribe Alliance, but also traps filled with sharp wooden stakes, and the screams continued for a while, but the war had begun, and with the control of the leader of this era over the warriors, it was impossible to take back the warriors.
And the combat quality of the Fire Tribe Alliance warriors was shown at this time, they showed extremely high obedience, and the entire battlefield was fought in a battle of battle and retreat.
There are constantly soldiers organizing troops in the rear, and after the soldiers in the front retreat, there is a new force on top, if this is the era of digital warfare, by determining the battle damage, the Knife Tribal Alliance would have ended the war long ago.
The life of a Fire Tribe warrior can almost pull the lives of five Sword Tribe Alliance warriors, and this gap is still widening.
As the war continued, the Fire Tribe Alliance's way of fighting against the trenches became more and more proficient, and the digging time behind was longer, and the ambush and design were more perfect, resulting in greater lethality.
The Knife Tribal Alliance didn't know about the data at all, and just rushed forward in a swarm, and almost every trap, they filled it with corpses.
In fact, if the soldiers were to be separated from each other enough, there would be no such effect of too many people dying in one trap, but the soldiers only cared about swarming forward, and no one cared how the people in front of them died.
The battle continued until the sky lit up, and the warriors of the Fire Tribe Alliance did not retreat into the final trenches.
In the second half of the night, the soldiers of the Knife Tribe Alliance finally realized the terrifying number of casualties, so there were not many soldiers who dared to go up, and the leader of the Knife Tribe no longer insisted after being wounded on the battlefield once, and just waited for dawn to get out of this hellish small place to fight again.
Zhuo didn't care about dragging it out until daytime, he didn't like night raids himself, because the night was always full of variables, and he had to cooperate with the fox tribe who had not practiced together, so he preferred the decisive battle to take place during the day.
The coaches of the two sides coincided on this point, and the battle in the second half of the night was a bit grinding.
And the scorching who was familiar with the trenches arranged for the warriors to rest in batches, and the warriors of the Sword Tribal Alliance trembled and did not dare to sleep in this dead man's pit.
When the sky was slightly bright, everyone was in a state of shock, but the faces of the Sword Tribe warriors had a clear look of exhaustion.
Without waiting for the leader of the Sword Tribe to attack, the leader of the Fox Tribe, who had already communicated with Zhuo, took the lead in attacking with the Niu Tribe and the Snow Tribe .
This cow tribe is not the cattle tribe of the Fire Tribal Alliance, they really own cattle, and they are bulls with good combat power with horns forward, they attack under the riders of the warriors, and frantically attack the warriors of the Sword Tribal Alliance who have not yet entered the trenches.
The Fire Tribal Alliance also launched a war in due course, striking the Sword Tribal Alliance back and forth.
There were more people from the Fox Tribal Alliance attacking from the rear, and the leader of the Sword Tribe wanted to take advantage of the dawn to deal with the people of the Fire Tribe Alliance first, after all, they were few in number.
However, after the charge, they found that even without the cover of night, they still had no advantage against the warriors of the Fire Tribe Alliance in the trenches, and even often fell into a trap.
The wrong choice cost him dearly, and the charge of the Niu tribe and the strong combat power of the snow tribe due to the added layer of wind and snow caused great damage to the team.
What he didn't know, however, was that the Fire Tribe Alliance's best charging quadrangular cavalry was already poised for a night, and the moment to tear apart his ranks was coming.
