Chapter 723: Surprise Attack Tactics

After most of the night, the battle that took place in the city of waterfalls finally entered a stalemate at dawn.

Although the Entagri army took the enemy by surprise from the top of the fortress and successfully attacked the interior of the fortress and occupied many areas, including the top floor of the fortress, they were careless due to the sneak attack of the enemy's flying troops and lost their weapons to attack the fortification, coupled with the unfamiliarity with the internal structure of the fortress, they were unable to achieve greater results in a short period of time.

In terms of the defenders of the waterfall city of the elven kingdom, although the commander Elisa is of average ability, and he is in turmoil because of the unknown life and death of his sweetheart at this time, he can firmly pursue the strategy set by Malodia, and finally after paying quite heavy losses and losing some areas, he successfully commanded the elven soldiers to block the onslaught launched by the Entagri army from all directions, and firmly held most of the area inside the fortress by virtue of the geographical advantage.

The soldiers on both sides are willing to sacrifice their lives in this battle, and if the Entagri army does not take the city of the falls, the whole plan will be ruined and the expected perfect effect will not be achieved, while the elven defenders of the city of the falls are fighting with their backs, and both sides have a reason to fight with all their might.

When the sun finally rose into the sky from the smoke caused by the forest fires, the fierce battle finally came to an end, and the Ntagrean army stopped continuing the offensive and began to rest because of Christine's order.

The Imperial warrior force led by Worzak shone in the battle that had just ended, because it was precisely because of their activity that they desperately blocked the elven army's counterattack on the top of the fortress in a certain hall, and supported it until reinforcements arrived, so that the Entagri army could go extremely smoothly in the battle to capture the top floor of the fortress, and laid a good foundation for the capture of other areas of the fortress in the future.

It can be said that the Entagri army was able to achieve such results in the middle of the night, when the battering ram was accidentally destroyed by the enemy, and the contribution of Wozzak and his Imperial warrior troops was indispensable.

The tactic he pioneered using griffons wearing multiple layers of chain mail to attack fortifications was later frequently used by the Ntagrean army on the battlefield, and as a result, many important locations that were originally very difficult to capture were captured.

Of course, the price is also quite heavy, dozens of Imperial warriors under Wozzak were killed in the battle, more than a third were killed, and the rest were also wounded, but the Imperial warriors, as the elite of the Entagre army, naturally received preferential treatment, when the battle ended, all the Imperial warriors who could be resurrected were revived by the archangels with racial abilities, and the injuries of others were also treated by the limb magicians, and the recovery of seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Wozzak also suffered some injuries, but they were all minor injuries, and after a little treatment, he was already alive again, the performance of the young barbarian in the battle can only be described as fierce, he took the two elf scimitars from the enemy, I don't know how many elf soldiers were harvested in turn, in fact, in the middle of the battle, these two elf scimitars have been completely curled, which makes Wozzak have to keep changing weapons on the battlefield, fortunately, he is very skilled in martial arts, no matter what weapon comes to his hands, can become an unstoppable weapon of mass destruction.

However, Wozzak still has a certain preference for axes, so after the battle, as soon as the injury is healed, Worzak began to look around for a suitable axe on the previous battlefield, but to Wozzak's disappointment, he did not get his wish, his original axe has long been missing, only the shield was recovered, and the elves do not use axes, and most of the axes in the Entagre army are some tough guys, these guys rarely die, so the battlefield is full of some weapons that Vozzak does not look at.

So Wozzak came up with the idea of the long-handled double-edged axe in Durin's hand, because he knew that Durin was not only a master of using a long axe, but also played with a sword and shield, and the quality of the axe was really quite good.

He used a fine war knife of the Entagre army standard that he had picked up from the battlefield and his own lost shield, and wanted to exchange it for the long-handled double-edged axe in Durin's hand: "For the time being, I will return you to the tavern of old Kobe Bryant to drink a glass of the best ale of that kind after this battle."

However, although he was the boss and offered quite tempting conditions, the minotaur did not sell his account: "Don't think about it, do you know how long I have been grinding with the quartermaster for this special axe?" With a broken knife, you want to swap it out? Besides, you've only learned a little bit about throwing axes from the dwarves, and you always like to throw weapons, so if you lose this axe, where will I cry? ”

Wozak couldn't help but be angry and annoyed when he heard this: "What do you say, what does it mean to learn a little fur?" I'm better than blue, dwarves just use throwing axes, I can still fly knives, flying spears, flying shields, flying swords, besides, your broken axe is so big and heavy, how can I use it to throw it? ”

"Who are you trying to fool?" The minotaur snorted coldly, but still didn't let go, "Do you think I don't know how strong you are, it's too unsafe to throw such a long axe and play with it, if you don't change it, you better continue your promising double knife flow, I think you are quite fancy, haven't you killed so many enemies than me?" Still robbing my opponents"

The sour tone of the minotaur made the barbarian understand the real reason why the other party refused to exchange: "I x you are jealous and naked."

While the two were laughing, a harpy, who was clearly a herald, approached and conveyed Christine's order to Worzak.

"Mistress Christine wants to see me?" Wozzak was a little surprised, "Did I do something wrong again?" ”

In the battle of Abbaden, there were many reasons for the failure of the Entagri army, but the young barbarian always felt that it was because of his own mistakes that the surprise attack force sent by the elven kingdom could finally succeed, and he blamed himself very much for this, leaving a psychological shadow, at this time the commander summoned him, and he subconsciously thought about the pessimistic side.

Anxiously following the herald to Christine's makeshift command center, Wozzak desperately wondered if he had made another mistake in the battle, but he still had no clue when he reached the ground.

Then Christine's words made Wozzak understand that he was actually thinking too much.

"You did a good job this time, because of your on-the-spot judgment, we can have today's results, and I have heard about your bravery on the battlefield, work hard, I am very optimistic about you, and Pete is too, as his good friend, you don't want to disappoint him"

Hearing Christine's compliment, Wozzak suddenly perked up: "Yes, my lord, I will work hard, I don't know what instructions I have for summoning my subordinates this time?" ”

Christine smiled: "If I find you a guide who is familiar with the enemy's fortress, will you dare to lead a small force straight into the heart of the enemy?" ”

"Of course you dare, what dare not" Wozark's eyes began to light up, but he was a little puzzled, "But my lord, do we really have a guide?" ”

Christine gestured to the side with his hand, and Wozzak turned his head to see that there was a female elf in his own leather armor in the command center.

"This is Malodia, she knows the inside of the fortress well, and she also knows some secret passages, I hope that you will lead a small elite force, she will lead you directly to attack the enemy's headquarters, as long as the enemy commander can be captured alive, she will also try to make the enemy in the fortress stop resisting, so that we can win this battle with the least cost and the shortest time"

Wozzak glanced at Malodia, which was even more strange, because he knew that in the Entagre Empire, the elves were the most sparsely populated race - including his adoptive mother, the number of elves in the entire Entagrean Empire was only three before, and if you add the half-elf Pete, it can only be regarded as three and a half.

Although the number of elves in the empire increased somewhat after the remnants of the Farouk army were later absorbed, due to the short time of joining, those elven soldiers were still training in Negan at this time and did not participate in this battle, and if this female elf was one of those elves, Christine had no reason not to let her lead the way to attack the fortress early.

"Malodia has just joined us" Seeing Wozzak's doubts, Christine immediately explained, "She was originally the staff officer of the enemy commander of this fortress we are attacking, so she is very familiar with the internal structure of the enemy's fortress, but it is worth mentioning that she led the team to destroy our battering ram, so I have no way to fully confirm whether everything she said is true or false, but I think this plan is still worth a try, Vozzak, and your other task is to monitor this female elf, If you find out that she has any bad intentions and conspiracy against our army, I will allow you to kill her on the spot and then, I want you to bring the troops back to me safely."

Wozak couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and Malodia's face also changed slightly, but she didn't say anything, because she knew very well that the other party did have reason to doubt herself.

"Of course, if she really wants to help us, then you have to do everything you can to protect her, she is the key to us making the enemy lose their resistance, Vozzak, do you have confidence? Your Majesty has always been very optimistic about you, saying that if you are tempered, you will become a great weapon, and Pete often praises you for your ability in front of me, and in Abbaden, you are also the first to see through the enemy's plan, and you also performed very well in this battle, these are the reasons why I chose you, you will not let me down, right? ”

"The subordinates should do their best" Hearing Christine say that even His Majesty is optimistic about himself, the young barbarian's blood suddenly boiled, "I will not fail in my mission"

"Very good" Christine nodded with satisfaction, "Bring your subordinates, I will transfer some elites for you, you have a total of two hundred people to use in this operation, including magicians, you take them to hurry up and prepare, if there is any special need, you can mention, when the next attack begins, you will also carry out operations at the same time, there is a large army to contain the enemy from the front, I believe your actions will be more advantageous, but you still need to be careful and careful, I don't want to hear the news of your death"

"Yes, Your Excellency"

With Malodia, as well as Christine's elite small unit transferred to him for this operation, and meeting his original subordinates, the energetic Wozzak found a more remote place for everyone to get acquainted with each other and assign tasks.

It is necessary for the soldiers to get to know each other if they want to exert their full combat effectiveness, and although everyone is a friendly army, it will undoubtedly be more reassuring to hand over their backs to someone they know on the battlefield.

Christine transferred more than 100 people to Worzak, plus Worzak's own original Imperial Warrior Army, exactly 200 people.

The more than 100 soldiers transferred here are all the elites of the Entagri Army, the Archangel Clan's warriors, the Archdemon Clan's warriors, the Imperial Warriors of various races, and two magic masters.

Malodia looked at this strange combination with a strange expression.

Although she had long heard that the Entagri Empire advocated racial equality, and knew that the racial composition of the soldiers of the Entagri Army was quite complex, when she really saw it with her own eyes, the female elf couldn't help but have a feeling that all this was very unreal.

The winged archangels and the red-skinned archdemons were mixed together, and the warriors of the Ntagrean Army in golden steel armor were also of a mixed race, in addition to the leading barbarians, among them were minotaurs, humans, hill dwarves, big-eared monsters, Medusa, and Thor trolls.

There's even a centaur.

Seeing these warriors belonging to the Entagri Army enthusiastically introducing themselves in a simple manner, the female elves who had never seen such a scene lost their minds for a while.

The friendly attitude of the two ntagrean army magicians in leather armor and nimble skills also surprised Malodia quite a lot, in the elven kingdom, the elven magicians have always been domineering, they can't get along so harmoniously with a group of warriors who can't magic, let alone appear on the battlefield dressed as warriors.

All this made Malodia have a strong interest in this unique army, this unique group, and this unique empire.

"Head, what the hell are we going to do?" Some of the fighters who were familiar with Vozzak asked questions one after another, although the number was not large, but everyone was the elite of the elite, and they could know that there must be some special mission this time without thinking about it.

Glancing at Malodia, Wozzak smiled: "I can't say it for the time being, you will know when the time comes, anyway, as long as we succeed, the movement will definitely not be small, and your credit will definitely not be small, but I have a word first, you all give me a hundred thousand points of spirit, if anyone dares to mess up, not only Lieutenant General Christine will not let him go, but I will not let him go."

His words drew an immediate round of cheers.

The reason why elites are elites is that many times it is because they always like to take on some challenges that are very difficult for ordinary people.

And when this kind of challenge can bring them real success, they are even more welcome.

In the Ntagrei army, military exploits mean more glory, higher status, and more wealth.

Soon after, the second wave of the Entagrean army's offensive finally began in full swing, and Worzak with his elite small troops, also under the guidance of Malodia, opened an unknown secret door from a certain place in the fortress occupied by the Entagrean army, and entered a secret passage.

"Due to the importance of the Cascade City, this fortress was built to protect the Centaur Sacred Spring from falling into the hands of others, and many secret passages were designed at the beginning of its construction to prepare for possible fortress battles."

While leading the way, Malodia whispered to Vozzak, who was walking beside her, why there were these secret passages in the fortress of the city of waterfalls: "This is to allow the defenders to attack from unexpected places of the enemy in case of emergency, and recapture the lost area, but since the city of the falls has not been attacked, these secret passages have not been used, and later, in order to keep secrets, these secret passages have become secrets that only the generals stationed there, ordinary soldiers, I didn't even know that there were these secret passages in the fortress."

"So, if we capture more of the fort, maybe the defenders will use these secret passages to launch a counterattack?" Wozzak looked at the secret passage in front of him, which was lit by the flame of light, and asked, judging from the thick musty smell and thick dust in the secret passage, he judged that the other party should not lie to himself.

"That's for sure" Mallodia nodded and sighed: "But even so, with the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it is impossible for these secret passages to save the fate of this fortress, it is nothing more than a matter of time before I have to say, the person who formulated this strategic plan in the empire is really a genius, if I am not mistaken, even if the waterfall city can be defended this time, the elven kingdom will inevitably be greatly damaged"

"Because because of your actions, the racial contradictions within the Elven Kingdom have been intensified to the point of no return, whether it is the centaurs, or the dwarves, or those forest people, they will not continue to be silent, and the remnants of the Farouk army, those who have the same philosophy as you, how can they miss this great opportunity? The elven kingdom, this time the outcome of the chaos has been decided long before the start of this war, hasn't it? ”

"In fact, the elven kingdom was not defeated by the Entagri Empire, but lost to itself, the seeds of hatred have been planted from the beginning, the elves don't think about how to eradicate this seed, but they have been watering it, so many years have passed, this seed has long blossomed and borne fruit, and the elven kingdom, now it is just tasting the evil fruits of its own planting and abandoning the druid doctrine, can not be kind to other races, just boasting about their own strength, is the biggest mistake made by the elf race"

While sighing, Malodia took Wozak and others through the secret passage, the secret passages were not all connected, during which they had to leave the secret passage several times, and then act cautiously, but with Marodia there, the whole process was thrilling, and the female elf who had made a defense plan single-handedly knew even better than Elisa the layout of the defenders of the entire fortress, and she cleverly took Wozzak and others to avoid the sight of the elf defenders.

Then, they finally came to a certain level of the fortress.

This is not the floor where the Centaur Fountain is located, the fountain is at the lowest level of the fortress, but this floor is the floor where the hall that Eliza himself guarded.

And in that hall, there is also an entrance and exit of a secret passage.

Unknowingly, Vozak and the others had already touched the nose of the enemy's command.
