Section 76 Alone
"In that case...... I don't think there's any chance. Ashrufat said softly.
It seems that all military records (whether human or elven) regard less as the highest achievement of military art, and it is precisely because of this that it highlights how difficult it is to win more with less. In fact, if there is no extremely favorable terrain occupied, or there are essential differences in logistics, the quality of soldiers and officers, etc., otherwise it is pure myth to win more with less.
"Let's go. He said that, but he didn't actually move.
"Prince!" seemed to be the slightest stranger in Kaye's voice.
"I said, don't call me a prince. Call me Ashrufat...... It's not a kana, it's my real name. ”
"Isn't there room for redemption?" we're going to warn them...... Kaye asked
"It's too late. Ashrufat replied calmly. He knew it was cruel, but it was true. "If we had retreated last night, it might have been too late...... But now...... If I'm not mistaken, Garth will surely speed up the march. I believe he will lead his army before dawn...... Now there is a good chance that the striker engagement has begun. I definitely didn't have time to warn them. ”
"But...... But......" Kaye's voice betrayed a hint of desperation. "Isn't there any chance?"
"Unless Truzi's commander made some extremely stupid mistake. Ashrufat sighed. "But I don't think a general who has set up such a clever plan to lure the enemy will make any particularly stupid mistakes when he reaps the fruits. I know that Garth is also an experienced general, but ......"
"Master, your heart is shaking. In her mind, Carrie said. "Please note that you have nothing to do with the elven army anymore, you must know that they themselves exiled you!"
"Prince, I know that Galls has made a mistake, but the soldiers have nothing to do with it! they were gathered in your name in the first place!
"What can I do?" replied Ashrufat. "It's too late now!"
Ashrufat can imagine the situation on the battlefield. Like all elven generals, Garth will surely organize the most stubborn resistance. However, the disparity in power between the two sides meant that he had no chance of winning at all. Garth may do his best to find the right terrain, may skillfully organize his troops, may also set effective traps in battle, and even accurately grasp every opportunity that can be used...... But no matter how hard he tried, the dark elf general didn't need any command skills, just a firm and slow constant pressure on the front to crush the elven resistance.
"Prince, you can't just give up anyway!" Kaye suddenly knelt down, not half-kneeling as a soldier understood, but kneeling down in a very solemn posture.
Ashrufat now knew that prostrations were a very high etiquette among the elves, and an act of extreme humility. And since he'd known Kaye, it seemed like he'd never seen Kaye salute him. At most, it was just a verbal expression.
"What do you mean by that, Kaye?"
"Anyway, we've got to do something!" Kaye said, looking up, firmly. "I know you must have something to do. ”
"What does that mean, Carrie?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind. "She thinks I can do something on my own?"
"Master, it's the same thing that happened to you in Erebor...... "Carrie replied. "In times of despair, any intelligent creature will strive to believe what he wants to believe. A drowning man will even go to a floating straw in desperation...... Although this behavior is meaningless, it is in line with psychological needs. The same goes for you, master. ”
"Do you want to abandon the soldiers who have followed you all the way?" Kaye stared at Ashrufat.
"I did not abandon them, but they forsaken me. "Ashrufat had to be corrected.
"They didn't abandon you. Kaye didn't waver in the slightest. "You abandoned them. You know in your heart that if you choose to resist at that time, then most of the soldiers will be on your side, even against the Phoenix Guard......s!
She stared at Ashrufat, clearly noticing the other man's face change. Ashrufat seemed to want to refute, but at last he only moved his lips a few times, and uttered a few meaningless syllables.
"Master, you'd better forget it. In her mind, Carrie said. "If you have hundreds or thousands of soldiers on hand, maybe you can give it a try. But now that you're alone, plus Kaye with no weapons or armor, what can you do? Don't you really think you can sweep through thousands of armies on your own? It's a battle of tens of thousands of troops. Please remember when you led the Greenskins, when there were 100 troops on both sides, and personal prowess was a very important factor, even a decisive factor. However, as long as the number of front-line combatants on both sides reaches more than 1,000, especially when morale is high, then personal bravery will become a dispensable embellishment, and it will be extremely difficult to change the overall situation. In addition, the army is not only a means of white-knuckle warfare, but also long-range weapons, war machines, and magic, so there are many ways to deal with you. Besides, you're not an elf, so there's no need to worry about the elf's life or death. ”
"You're right," Ashrufat replied slowly. "I'm not an elf ......"
......
"Hmm...... It's a good fight. "Lord Siris stood on a small high ground and looked at the battlefield ahead. At this time, the battle between the two armies was in a state of stalemate, and on the whole, they won and lost each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between the upper and lower sides. Sometimes it was a group of Warrior soldiers who defeated the enemy on the opposite side and drove them backwards, and sometimes it was the Dark Elves who broke up the Warrior Spirit's offensive and forced them to retreat. On this battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers of the two armies held a deep hatred of blood and were fighting to forget their lives.
"Our stupid cousins have found a good place for themselves to be buried. He teased in a very casual tone. The other party reacted a little faster than him. When the Yasurs spotted the enemy waiting in front of them, their first instinct was to retreat. When they realized that they could not escape from the pursuit, they simply stopped in a relatively small position and set up a battle against a field of impenetrable rocks and thorns.
In this way, the lord of Siris could not take advantage of his superior army to surround the enemy in a roundabout way. I have to say that Prince Essurifat still has some brains.
Lord Siris's gaze stayed on the left front. Here, the White Lion Warrior's approach is like a solid rock, allowing the superior army of the Dark Elves to charge repeatedly without retreating. Not only that, but several White Lion Chariots also launched clever and sharp counterattacks on several occasions, forcing the entire phalanx of Dark Elf warriors to collapse more than once. If it weren't for the Dark Elves' numerical superiority, the White Lion Warriors might have crushed each other.
"Your Excellency, you should launch a general attack!" Akalina suggested beside him. The witch's eyes stared viciously at the white lion warriors. While killing Azur is always a joyful thing, if there is one Happiest Azul to kill, it has to be the White Lion Warrior. Lord Siris's army has a whole team of witches, and Akalina is their captain. Akalina knew very well that her subordinates couldn't wait to smear their bodies with the blood of the White Lion Warriors, and in fact she herself couldn't wait. The thought of being able to kill these enemies in white lion skins and stain their white lion skins red with their blood gave Akalina an indescribable thrill.
"General attack, those Azul still have the back hand. Lord Siris replied unconcernedly. "What, you want to clean up those white lion warriors?"
Although there are more than twice as many Dark Elves fighting at this time, Lord Siris still has a large reserve force.
"If Your Excellency gives an order, we will gladly accept it. ”
"Well, do what you want to do. Lord Siris lazily ordered. He watched Akarina's back disappear and muttered softly.
"Master, do you think something is wrong?" beside him, his servant, the dark elf named Loki, hurried up.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Lord Siris replied. "To be honest, I don't really like witches, but I hate these white lion warriors even more. It must have been a pleasure to watch them fight each other - it would be nice for either of them to win, and of course, it would be better if they all died together. ”
In the blink of an eye, the witches had rushed into the battlefield. The archers of the Divine Warriors sent a rain of arrows in this direction, but few witches could barely be seen falling. The Dark Elves in front stepped back to the side to make way out, causing the witches to pounce on the White Lion Warrior's position from the front like a raging wind of destruction.
It looked like a wave of darkness about to engulf everything and rush towards a white rock that was unwavering. In the blink of an eye, the two approaches were tightly glued together, the witch and the white lion warriors were bloodied/fighting, and the other dark elf warriors retreated and broke away from the battle. On the one hand, it was on the orders of Lord Siris, and on the other hand, the dark elves knew that the witches were a bunch of crazy people - if they were not happy, they would attack their own people at any time.
The two sides seemed evenly matched for a moment, but Lord Siris knew very well that the White Lion warriors had endured a fierce battle that was not too short of time, and that the witches had been recuperating and full of strength. The White Lion Chariot attempted to launch a surprise attack, but was met with a concentrated burst of Dark Elf crossbows, and one of the chariots fell out of control on the battlefield. The war lion pulling the cart and the warriors on the cart were covered with arrows.
Looks like it's okay this way...... Lord Siris turned his attention to the other side of the chariot. He saw that a team of warriors of the Divine Warrior Elves was extremely outstanding. They had just routed a phalanx of dark elves, and with swift speed they caught up with the fleeing foes, taking advantage of their confusion to slash them before reinforcements arrived.
