Chapter 286: Peasant Revolt and F2A
At the same time - the left side of the battlefield:
The last of the resisting mountain nobles were also defeated, and they abandoned the glory of the mountain warriors and fled along the desolate snowy fields, wolf cavalry chasing them all the way, and countless Alterac warriors fell in the snow.
A wolf cavalry caught up with the young wolf lord who was touching the corpse.
"Lord Overseer, Lord Sarufar has asked you to attack from the enemy's left and flank the enemy's royal army with the main force."
Young Wolf Lord (Frostwolf Overseer): "Hmph, it didn't end up using my plan, Sarufar's idiot, if he had used my plan earlier, how could he have fought such a bad battle." β
He touched the last corpse, found a piece of blue plate armor, and his face finally improved a little.
These Alterac Lords are fucking poor, and they killed several blue suits without revealing a few.
The young wolf lord secretly slandered himself in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Nodding at the herald, "I'll attack." After saying that, he waved his tomahawk, "Command all troops to assemble and prepare to attack!" β
The left flank army that had just finished the battle immediately gathered again, and the young wolf lord knew that time was tight at this time, and he didn't even have a whole army, so he directly led his troops to attack the army of King Alterac.
And the alliance side has long noticed the rout of the aristocratic coalition army, and has prepared defensive troops here early, ready to meet the enemy.
When the young wolf lord jumped onto a snowy slope and looked ahead, he was suddenly startled, and the dense human army in front of him was afraid that there must be more than 20,000 people.
I rub, the alliance is still so many troops?
After the previous bloody battle, although he defeated the aristocratic coalition army, he also suffered a lot of losses, and just sent out some cavalry to chase and kill the aristocratic army, and now there are only more than 10,000 troops left in his hand, and he was suddenly startled in the face of twice the number of enemy troops.
But he soon found out.
Hey, wocao, it scared me, it turned out that they were all militiamen.
That's right, the dense army of more than 20,000 people in front of him is all militia troops, and it is also the reserve army of Alterac, and the person who leads the troops is none other than Darabun, who is the commander-in-chief of the reserve army.
Originally, the militia could not be used as the main force to meet the enemy head-on, but as a reserve force, where there was a shortage of people, he would transfer hundreds or thousands of people to fill the loopholes.
However, this will collapse with the collapse of the left flank, the left side of the army will completely lose cover, and the main force of the Wang army is fighting to the death with the main army of the frost wolf, and there will be no troops at all.
In a sense, it is the same choice as the old Sarufar.
However, there is at least one Ice Elemental Lord on the left flank of the tribe, but they don't have any high-level troops on their side, only a few dozen Knights of the North Wind under him and Sigrid, oh yes, and ten dragon-armored heavy cavalry led by Roland.
All the rest are militias.
Looking at the elite troops of the tribe in front of him, Sigrett's face turned a little pale.
He knew the power of orcs.
Sigrid (Prince Alterac): "Will it work?" The militia is all first-class soldiers, and the first-level soldiers are front-facing with the third-level soldiers and fourth-level soldiers on the opposite side, how do I look a little hanging. β
Dara Bang (Prince Alterac): "Don't worry, I have the hero specialty of 'Peasant Rebellion', the first-level soldier can be used as the second-level soldier, plus the number of troops, there is definitely a fight, you can see." β
After talking about the direct hero specialty - [Peasant Riot].
[Peasant Revolt (War Specialty.]
Specialty Effect: Initiate a pre-battle speech that grants additional morale and fervor to the militia units under your command that stacks with any other morale-boosting ability.
(The morale bonus you get depends on the content of your speech, with a minimum of 10 points and a maximum of 50 points, or you can not give a speech, then you will get a fixed morale value of 30 points.)
Each 10 morale boost grants 1 stack of War Enthusiasm, and each stack of War Enthusiasm grants Militia units +5 Base Attack). γ
Dalabun had already prepared his speech lines, and at this time he rode his war horse and shouted in front of the army.
Dara Bun (Prince Alterac): "Sons of Alterac, my brothers! I see in your eyes that you all have the same fears as I do.
Maybe one day, humanity will become cowering and cowardly, abandoning its fellow citizens and fleeing from the wind, but not today!
Maybe one day, the savage orcs will break through the human city, and the human race will be extinct, but not today!
Today we are going to fight bravely!
With all that is dear to you, I command you to fight to the end - the warriors of Alterac! β
[System Prompt: Your [Peasant Revolt] has been successfully launched, and your soldiers have been inspired, gaining 43 morale points and gaining four tiers of war enthusiasm. γ
Dara Bang's speech played a very useful role, and the originally demoralized militia troops instantly rushed to the morale of 90+, and they were about to fight with those orcs on the opposite side one by one.
Sigrid (Prince Alterac): "I'll rub it, okay, I didn't expect you to have such eloquence - where did you copy this speech?" β
Dalabon (Prince Alterac): "Haha, how about the section of Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings, the effect is good, look at this morale, just ask how you lost, brothers kill me!" All the army is attacking! β
It was also the first time for him to command such a large-scale war, and under the boiling blood, he directly led the army A up.
20,000 militiamen lined up in a dense formation, bustling and pushing directly over.
Sigrid said in her heart that it was really appropriate, the Lord of the Rings was fighting half-orcs, and they were fighting orcs.
The translations are all oaks.
Although FA2 is a bit brainless, he has never commanded a big war, and he can't think of any better tactics, and looking at the morale of these militias, it feels really okay. So I followed.
However, at this moment, a group of militiamen who received the order to attack did not attack, and the militia commander who led the team even scolded him.
Veteran Liangjian (militia captain): "What fool's order is so brainless?" Is this going to die? β
Mallory (militia leader): "That's the prince's order, don't we go up?" β
Ronald (militia leader): "yes, we should follow orders." β
Veteran Liangjian (militia captain): "Bullshit's order, if you really want to go up, it's over, my brothers will listen to me, let's put out the phalanx we rehearsed before, don't be stunned a few of you adventurers, hurry up and set up Lao Tzu's Italian cannon......"
At this moment, in the face of a menacing wave of militia, the young wolf lord laughed.
Such a group of low-level soldiers came up without brains, it was simply experience.
It's really not easy for him to defend against 20,000 militiamen, but since he fights against each other, he is not afraid at all.
"Kill!"
At the sound of an order, the horde army also attacked.
The two forces had no formation at all, and they collided directly.
Immediately fell into a scuffle.
Not to mention, these militias relied on their high morale and the increase in attack brought by the enthusiasm of the four-layer war, and they were in a stalemate with the orcs, in fact, the key is that the orcs have just finished a battle, and they have not reorganized their formations, and all kinds of troops are mixed together, and they are completely fighting for attrition.
The young wolf lord was not panicking, his battlefield experience was much richer than that of Darabang.
"Dispatch the frostwolf cluster, the ice wolf cluster! Outflank from the right side. β
Two packs of five hundred wolves were immediately slaughtered from the right side of the army.
Frost Wolf Cluster - This is the exclusive class of the Frostwolf Clan, which belongs to a special 'War Beast Force', and is different from the general wolf cavalry, Frost Wolf can fight alone with the wolf king as the leader due to its excellent intelligence.
The Icewolf Cluster is another beast unit tamed and trained by the Frostwolf Clan after they took over the Alterac Valley.
As beast units, both legions share four common class traits - Fear-Maker, Anti-Infantry, Fast Movement, and Charge.
The rapid movement allowed the two armies of War Beasts to go around to the flanks and rear before the enemy could react, and then directly charged.
The Anti-Infantry trait grants an additional damage bonus when attacking infantry units.
Creating fear can quickly reduce the enemy's morale and cause a collapse.
The militia, which was originally high morale, was rushed from behind by the wolves, and immediately suffered heavy casualties, and several teams were white.
"Run, it's a monster."
"What a beast."
"Run!"
Seeing that some deserters appeared on the right side of the battlefield, Dalabon didn't take it too seriously, and only lost a few hundred people, and Lao Tzu had an army of 20,000.
But I'm still a little surprised, why do you still have wolves?
However, soon Darabang found that the problem was not so simple, it turned out that there was a chain reaction to the collapse of morale, every time a unit collapsed, the nearby troops would receive a certain impact, and the militia troops would suffer double morale losses due to a 'demoralized' class characteristic, and the result was that several backs rushed down, and the militia troops lit up in patches of white gas, and morale was like a domino avalanche.
In the blink of an eye, a third of the troops began to retreat or simply collapsed.
Dara Bang's eyes are black, his scalp is numb, he doesn't know how to command at all, his war experience comes from the Age of Empires he played before, but when the Age of Empires is full, it will be a battle between 200 people, and it will be completely impossible to command an army of 20,000.
From this point of view, the young wolf lord is completely destroyed by him, and the war experience of the young wolf lord comes from all-out warfare, at least he has operated thousands of armies to fight.
Young Wolf Lord (Frost Wolf Overseer): "Hahahaha, with a bunch of garbage militia, I dare to fight with Lao Tzu head-on, I thought I had any special skills, that's all?" Attack me! Kill them all! β
The militia ran around like a girl, and the orcs chased after them.
Especially those frost wolf war beasts, they were even more bitten.
Suddenlyβboom, boom!
A burst of explosions directly disrupted the offensive of these frost wolves, killing and wounding dozens of them, the young wolf lord was taken aback, and on that hillside, a row of artillery positions appeared, and more than a dozen breech guns were firing shells at the orc army.
In front of the artillery positions, there were spear militias in full formation, lined up in neat phalanxes.
