Chapter 613: Battle of Tirisfa (2)
The Scourge Southern Expeditionary Forces occupy the Monastery of the Holy Light.
Terenus knew this information, and he was only less than half an hour behind Kane, which was relatively fast.
Next, the state apparatus was also very responsive.
The Imperial Council was convened, and some of the military orders had already been issued.
At about 15 o'clock that afternoon, the Falken Falcon Vanguard stationed in Hearthvale, along with several other troops, rushed to Tirisfa.
Uther, as the top military commander of the coalition forces in the Talon region, also came up with a force to participate.
He hoped to take advantage of the fact that the Scourge army invading south was not firmly on the ground, and raze the bridgehead in one fell swoop, so as not to turn into a mess like Keldaron and the Dark Regions, which drained troops and materials.
As a result, the Scourge seemed to know his thoughts,
The Scourge Legion, which was cowering in the dark region, actually took the initiative to send troops out, seeing that it meant that they wanted to perform the battle of the Mosong Forest again.
Last time, the Scourge Corps took the initiative and successfully positioned the Mosong Forest on the battlefield, waiting for work to fight with the coalition forces, and finally retreated in an orderly manner. Both strategy and tactics were relatively successful.
This time, the coalition forces were more competitive and reacted quickly, and the vanguard troops arrived first, successfully blocking the Scourge army in the wilderness southwest of the forest area.
Subsequently, the main forces had to speed up and converge with the vanguard as they retreated to the edge of the woodland in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the coalition forces were relying on the black pine forest, the Scourge Army set up an array. There was no hard rush, but in the sound of desolate horns, retreating in an orderly manner and rearranging the formation.
Realignment on the battlefield is not a common occurrence in this era. Often, only after fighting the sea veterans can they quickly complete the assembly and turn into a powerful and powerful punch in the chaotic situation of the battlefield atmosphere, where they may be pursued by the enemy or find it difficult to find their new home, instead of turning into a rout and flight.
The Scourge Legion obviously did not rely on experienced people to complete the battlefield assembly again and again, but relied on the loyal obedience of the puppets without discount.
Originally, the poor IQ of the Scourge Army was one of its major shortcomings, and it was often the same when it first started, but it would soon be reduced to a rabble-like crowd.
But relying on this strategy of putting away their fists again and again and fighting again, the brave trolls of the Northrend Continent, the disciplined Frostvein Dwarves, and the spider demons who have both have all become defeated under the Scourge Legion. Until he encountered the Freemasons supported by Kane.
The Freemasons call this style of play of the Scourge Army a ground-washing tactic, sweeping back and forth repeatedly, in the process, they will repair some of the dead immortals, and will also use the dark revival technique to resurrect some officers and soldiers of the enemy camp as cannon fodder.
As a result, in the eyes of opponents, it is often found that the natural disaster army is dead and alive, and it is impossible to kill them at all, and the comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with them not long ago have now become enemies with hideous and terrifying images, which is undoubtedly quite demoralizing.
However, the Freemasons, or the combat power of Kane's family, do not eat this set, and some even counteract by methods. Even the troops of the Falken Kingdom in the coalition are very slippery, and this time they are used on the Scourge Army, and the effect is also very significant.
One of the means of the opposite, the Holy Light Toxin Bomb.
Although the Holy Light is a kind of energy that is beneficial to the human body, people who use the power of the Holy Light as an extraordinary energy can still isolate impurities in the daily power extraction.
In the past, these impurities were randomly discharged and left to nature to digest.
However, the light casting craftsmen of the Divine Temple have given people the correct usage, and there are special pendants for auxiliary refining energy, which can make meditation more efficient and the extraction effect better, and the waste residue is collected by it, and will eventually condense into crystals, and the specific condensation time varies from person to person.
And these crystals can be sold for money, and they are also an important resource used to fight evil spirits, and this money is quite righteous and strict.
Then there was the Holy Light Toxin Bomb.
It is a weapon specially developed for the reality of the battlefield.
In the case of a hot fight, it is unrealistic to use purification techniques on the spot. One is that the safety factor is low, and those who can cast the Holy Light Purification Technique are the precious forces of the coalition forces, and their mana should be reserved for the wounded and sick, rather than being at the forefront to prevent the enemy from repairing or resurrecting from death.
Again, it's too late. The undead repair is all one piece at a time, and the resurrection is mostly a single unit, but the casting speed and consumption are more practical than the blessing of the Holy Light. And the Scourge Legion's spellcasting units far exceed those of the Alliance.
With the Holy Light Toxin Bombs, the situation is different, these bombs are planted in a simple, concealed, and fast way, and can be operated by ordinary soldiers.
After that, for the casters of the Scourge Legion, repair and recovery have become a kind of gambling behavior, once the object of operation, or there is a Holy Light Toxin Bomb in the range, it will trigger the winning bid, and then the Holy Light Toxin will fight to the death with the evil energy and dark power in its body, so that the caster's body will be reduced to a battlefield, no matter who has the upper hand or who wins, it will cause great damage to the body and soul in the process of consumption, extremely painful, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cruel punishment.
At this moment, the casters of the Scourge Legion were in pain, and their superiors had become rat-throwers, after all, no matter how many spellcasters under their command were, they couldn't withstand this kind of attrition.
And if you can't fight with war, or even fight more and more, the prestige of the Cataclysmic Legion is immediately reduced by half.
Due to the fact that the infantry of the Falken Kingdom Army was officially incorporated into the alliance a little late, Uther only saw the quality of this force for the first time today, and the large-scale use of the Holy Light Toxin Bomb on the battlefield.
On the tall horse, he glanced at the retreating vanguard group and nodded secretly.
The biggest difference between the soldiers of the vanguard regiment and the other units of the coalition army is that the atmosphere of their team is not solemn, with a little liveliness, even ruffian, but in fact they do not exchange heads, let alone make a big noise, their liveliness and ruffians are reflected in their expressions and demeanors, they are lazy, they don't take it seriously, they are not on the battlefield at all, and they are the kind of solemnity and excitement after just fighting a tough battle.
Uther knows that fighters who can relax on the battlefield tend to be more explosive, have a better mentality, and play well when they start a war.
'Use me in the first battle, and I will win.' The slogan of this fast counter-infantry regiment is not bragging. Uther thought to herself.
The Rapid Anti-Infantry Regiment was lifted into the air via the 'Storm Catapult' and then launched into battle using flying squirrel suits and parachutes.
The inventor of the Storm Catapult was a dwarf, but Kane improved it to make it more practical.
The flying squirrel suit is blessed with wind elemental runes, and its speed reaches 200 kilometers per hour.
The performance of the parachute is also enhanced by magic, so as to provide sufficient deceleration for the user when the parachute is opened at low altitude.
In addition, the personnel must also be equipped with the 'Wind Resistant' magic pendant, the Azeroth humans are much stronger than the humans of the origin world, and the members of the Fast Infantry Regiment are even more qualified, but there is no need to bear extraordinary loads because of this, Kane's consistent purpose is to be willing to invest more and let the utensils serve people, rather than the other way around.
Therefore, this infantry, which is armed with hand axes and conical arm shields as the main weapons, has excellent killing ability, especially in the face of ghouls, skeletons, spiders and demons that lack strong armament, and is not considered to be rough skin and thick meat, and as sharp as chopping melons and vegetables.
Now, the beautiful intro is over and is sucking the opening.
The two sides have also fought back and forth, I don't know how many times. There was nothing to say, Uther saw that the troops were in motion, and with a wave of his sword, the drums of war immediately resounded across the battlefield, and the battle began.
The royal cavalry of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, together with the Knights of the Silver Hand, is the central force on the coalition side, but in fact, Uther relies more on the combat power of the two wings, especially the left wing.
There were cavalry from the Icewind Barrier, and the backbone was the heavy cavalry of the Templar Knights, who had annihilated the Scourge of the Kel'thugad in Andohar.
Uther believed that when this force showed its fangs, it would surely surprise the Scourge once again.
On the bright side, the knights of the Silver Hand are sharp, followed by the royal knights, and the battle begins with the advance of the department.
The troops on both flanks also began to move, but at a slower pace, and the horses only trotted, and the speed was not as fast as the cavalry in the center, and it was quickly raised to the maximum.
Looking down from the air, you can see that the coalition forces are like a wave gushing out of the dark green sea, but soon a large triangle situation with a prominent center is formed, the first line is cavalry, there are thousands of horsemen, so many cavalry charges, drums, hooves, shouts and killings are mixed together, like rolling thunder and roaring, and the battlefield atmosphere becomes rich at once.
In the words of the bard, "Brave knights march their loyal horses through the wilderness with a swift wind, and bestow the fate of destruction on their enemies." The heavy horse's hooves crushed the remnants of the snow and mudstone, and the loud sound was like a roar of thunder from the sky......"
This was also the first time that the Scourge had encountered a large-scale human cavalry charge in the wilderness. They know that the cavalry is one of the arms of the human army (the other is the mage's regiment), but they have to compare to know how. The Scourge Legion is also very arrogant, with many types of troops and flexible tactics.
This time, it was the white bone dragon spearmen who were the vanguard and resisted the onslaught of the human cavalry.
Just by listening to the name, it is not difficult to guess the calculation of the Scourge Legion.
These dragon spearmen can be said to be mobile rejecting horses, not afraid of death.
When the White Bone Dragon Spearmen stepped forward and looked down from the air, the array of the Scourgeon Legion was obviously more gray-white and shining with green light.
Gray and white are bones, and green is evil power.
When you zoom in, you can see the white bone dragon lance that is scattered and orderly like a porcupine thorn, the tail end of the dragon spear is thicker, poking diagonally into the ground, using the earth as a shield, and the white bone skeleton only holds the barrel of the gun, so that the front end is raised.
Behind these arrays of white bone skeletons was a column of psychic mages, who from the air, they were nothing more than a thin line in the array, but the magical light around them was the strongest.
In addition to the fact that these psychics are in a state of active spells and can be cast at any time, but also because they have a higher treatment than ordinary troops, a powerful field and energy barrier protection, and a magic circle that can teleport and retreat in time.
After the psychic, there are the crypt spiders, they are medium-range strike forces, able to release dark spider swarms, a very evil kind of magic + physical hybrid attack, the biggest evil point is that they have turned their heirs into weapons that die with their opponents, which is obviously a combat skill that only has distorted life instinct.
The physique of the Crypt Spiders determines that it is difficult for them to achieve a dense array in the traditional sense, otherwise they will not be able to advance and retreat, and the Scourge Legion has arranged Berserk Ghouls among the Crypt Spiders this time, which are equivalent to knife axe hands, which are used to cover the retreat of the psychic and protect the lower plate of the Crypt Spider.
Of course, if the wind is favorable, they are also responsible for mending the heads, especially the knights who have fallen from their horses, they are happy to kill the kind of tin cans, because their flesh and blood are more delicious and nutritious, and the soul energy that overflows from death is also more smelly to the ghouls, and they can't absorb it at all.
Behind the Raging Ghouls are the Bone Marksman, and these are not improvised summoned cannon fodder, but a kind of puppet.
Uther and the others had learned their power in the battle where they had rushed to the aid of Kelldaron and had fallen into the trap by mistake. The white bone arrow has a demon-breaking or enchanting effect, and the archery technique is not exquisite, but it is strong and the arrow is thick and penetrating, and it is about to catch up with the power of the scorpion crossbow.
This time, the Bone Archer plays the role of the battlefield as the British longbowmen of this world. They were the first to launch long-range strikes at the charging coalition cavalry......
