352: The Great Tribulation 4
. Chapter 326 [Northern Rebellion] (II) The water on the table is dripping, and it seems that this General Andre is probably not good at drawing. It's just that fortunately, although the drawing is crude, it looks quite clear.
I saw a large arc on the table—General Andre pointed to this arc and said, "Look, you two, this is the border at the southern end of the frozen forest." Speaking of which, although we have 200,000 soldiers in the Storm Legion, this damn forest is really too big! The border line at the southern end is as long as a province! Although we have 200,000 troops, it is actually very difficult to be stationed on such a long line. Therefore, for many years, we have adopted the strategy of focusing on garrisons and sending more patrols and rangers. This is barely the completion of the mission. ”
He casually drew a few small circles under the arc that symbolized the southern border of the frozen forest: "Our army is stationed in several places according to the division and regiment, close to the southern end of the forest, and at the same time, the cavalry squad is the unit, patrolling back and forth according to the set line every day and night. Another point is that, unlike other main battle corps, our Storm Corps does not have a main battalion! Because several divisions and regiments have all been sent out to be distributed and stationed, otherwise, such a long line will not be visible at all! Even General Rostock's direct personal guard division is only 20,000 men, stationed in a place slightly south. It's not a secret for a long time, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”
"The earthquake six days ago was really scary. I came south this time, and I asked people along the way, and it seems that the situation here is fine, but in the frozen forests in the north, it is different! The hellish earthquake shook all the trees, the mountains collapsed, and the roads cracked! The poor thing is that our two cavalry battalions were stationed in a valley, and as a result, in the earthquake, the snow-capped mountains collapsed, and the poor thousands of brothers, less than 300 people ran out, and most of the others were buried alive underneath!! I went to the scene to see it later, and the damn earthquake first collapsed the exits on both sides of the valley, so that people couldn't run out, and then the mountain collapsed......"
Speaking of this, Andre's eyes turned red, and his tone couldn't help but choke a little.
However, after all, he was a soldier, so he took a deep breath and continued to draw a few arrows facing south in that arc.
"Just six days ago, the earthquake that no one in the army has ever experienced this kind of thing, for a while, people are panicked, even if the generals are not enough, although everyone is a little calm, but after all, the heart is also uneasy. Sure enough, in the afternoon, disaster happened!
Now it seems that we don't know where we started, but in short, according to the news from the newspapers, we are in these places...... You see, one, two, three, four...... Six! Six directions, almost at the same time, a large number of demonic beasts ran out of the frozen forest, all the way to the south!
Although I have been in the north for so many years, I have never seen so many magical beasts in my life!!
Although we have encountered some monsters running out of the forest in the past, after all, as long as our patrol cavalry surrounds us, shouts a few times, and scares and scares, we can scare these beasts back. After all, those who can be in the south are all low-level demonic beasts, really powerful things, all live in the depths of the forest, and they rarely come out.
These, most of the Warcraft have some intelligence, even if they are low-level, if a Warcraft encounters our patrol, it often knows that it is invincible, so it will retreat and go back. Unless we encounter some powerful guys, our soldiers will fight.
But this time it's different...... So a large number of demonic beasts poured out, not one or two, not ten or hundred, but thousands!!
I was not in front of me at that time, but in the main general's camp in the south, but a good brother of mine, a deputy division commander, later told me that his big camp was bearing the brunt of it, and there was a torrent of demonic beasts that happened to hit his camp head-on! The soldiers standing on the watchtower at that time were completely stunned, and the scene was almost nightmare!
The dense torrent of demonic beasts rushed out in one go, and the soldiers were stunned for a while before reacting, but when they resisted, the scene was really soft!
Lord Duke, Mr. Rodriguez, there are absolutely no misbreeds in our Stormwind Legion!But, even if we train hard, most of the soldiers are just ordinary people! They don't know magic, they only use knives, bows and arrows, and spears!
In peacetime, if we encounter one or two demonic beasts, we have to be brave and desperate, and we can barely drive away each other, but if we encounter a large number of ...... Those types of monsters are even more strange, there are everything, but fortunately, these monsters also seem to have been frightened in the earthquake and ran out, our camp is a military fortress, and the camp gate that was later ordered to be closed is used to defend the fortress wall, and the soldiers stand on it to shoot arrows and smash stones...... But those guys, as if they were crazy, many of them almost desperately hit the wall as if they were dying!
The soldiers were already fighting with their lives! But there were too many of these things! Later, there were even some brothers who even organized cavalry to fight back against those demonic beasts, and set fire to them all the way to try to scare them away...... We've already used this set of fire, and it's working. But this time, it didn't work.
On that afternoon alone, we lost tens of thousands of men! The two large battalions to the west were broken through, and the demonic beasts passed through our defenses and headed south!
After the incident, General Rostock was furious, and he immediately mobilized a cavalry team from the rear to pursue him, and at the same time issued a death order, letting the remaining battalion hold on to death, and not to take a step back unless he was the last person killed in battle!
That night, I was with General Rostock in the main general's camp, but every once in a while, a herald came to report the situation, saying that this place had been breached, how many people had died there, that the situation here was in crisis, and that he asked for reinforcements, and that there was a new situation of the Warcraft found there...... By the next morning, even the reserves in the main general's camp had been sent out, and I took my personal guards directly into battle. Before leaving, General Rostock said to me: 'If you can't do it, then I'll go!'
I came to the front line, my brother's division battalion, that scene, I'm afraid I will never forget for the rest of my life!
The fortress wall in front of the camp was almost half knocked over, and the remaining half was also in danger. Later, my brother told me that at night, several large monsters appeared, and those giant bears were very strong, and it was difficult to shoot them with bows and arrows, and those beasts took turns to collide, and almost collapsed the wall of the fortress, and then the division commander ordered that people should be used to fill in the walls at any cost! I don't know how many brothers were holding stones and wood to the top of the wall, and the other party collapsed a little, so we rushed up with people to fill it, and then we held it all night!
Under the wall outside, there were all kinds of corpses everywhere, and that division, which was originally 20,000 people, was only less than 8,000 by the afternoon of the next day!!
Whether it's day or night, it's all the howls of demonic beasts outside! The sound is so terrible that even when you think about it now, you can't help but have nightmares!
However, at that time, although we suffered heavy losses, fortunately, most of the demonic beasts that appeared were low-level, and everyone could barely deal with them under the desperate death.
But early on the third day, things were wrong!
In the Warcraft torrent outside, some high-level guys appeared. I met the wolf king of an ice demon wolf!
Later, I finally learned that the legend was true! Those high-level magical beasts have wisdom! Moreover, they can actually summon those low-level magical beasts for them to drive!
With the appearance of high-level demonic beasts, those low-level guys who were originally just messy suddenly seemed to be a lot more cunning, and they even learned to take turns attacking our camp!
In the end, there are some demonic beasts that live underground and start digging caves out of the ground!
On the third day, the hardest day, those monsters became more cunning and smarter, they no longer rushed up with our bows and arrows as before, but became cunning and knew how to dodge!
Our soldiers, in the absence of magicians, only used swords and arrows to resist desperately, and in the end, less than 20% of the division I was in survived!
With the appearance of high-level Warcraft, these originally chaotic Warcraft torrents have actually turned into Warcraft Legions!"
Speaking of this, Andre, this brave general, suddenly smiled bitterly: "I was able to survive, and now that I think about it, I am really lucky! And at that time, there were even many soldiers who couldn't even hold their swords! It's not that they weren't brave, it's just that no one has ever seen such a scene!"
Du Wei couldn't help but ask, "That...... Now, what about those monsters? If you can retreat, are they retreating?"
