Chapter 1,570 Hidden Worries in Advantageous Battle Situations
,!
If the speed of the customized car was fully opened, Wolfram would not be able to catch up without using some secret skills.
But when the throttle is fully opened, there is no controllability at all and it can only move forward in a straight line. And if the speed is too slow, as long as the Lord of the Abyss catches him, he will be smashed to death.
So most of the time, car drivers don't care where there are more enemies, they just want to hit them. They still focus on avoiding the pursuit of the Lord of the Abyss.
For Wolfram, these iron boxes, which were about the same size as his feet, were not difficult to deal with. But the large number and speed make dealing with these little things a little troublesome.
It's not okay to just leave them alone. The previous record of directly defeating gray dwarves shows that these little things are still very powerful against those incompetent mortals. So it can only angrily chase these little things that fly around like headless flies.
In the eyes of old Kaweigong, although the magic custom-made car cluster only showed its power once, it was run away by the Lord of the Abyss. But being able to drag that one along is an incredible feat. He didn't care whether they could continue to kill gray dwarves.
On the one hand, it was also because the gray dwarves, who were driven by demons, were already engaged in battle with their own troops. The two sides entered a state of close combat. There is no way he would let those rampaging guys crash into his queue.
Because the gray dwarves were gathered in a row by the magic custom car first, they ran away in all directions. Although they were gathered by the demons, they eventually formed into groups of twos and threes and launched an offensive against the human positions.
In addition, they started charging too early, which not only wasted too much energy. They also failed to form a proper attack formation, and instead ran into the human positions sporadically. Overall, they had no advantage at all.
In this case, the elite soldiers on the human side dealt with the timid gray dwarves. Except for the iron barrel-like armor, which was a bit in the way, the fight was quite easy.
The soldiers of the Gwana Empire are no stranger to dealing with this kind of opponent with extremely high defense and tough skin. In World of Warcraft, there are many such high defense attributes. To deal with it, I naturally came up with some tricks.
Although these routines are used on Warcraft, they may not be fully applicable to gray dwarves wearing heavy armor. However, the soldiers are familiar with the relevant processes and methods, and can naturally find ways to deal with these iron barrels. You can use it now.
Specifically, they pushed and tripped them, dragged them into a crowd after falling, and then smashed them to death with sticks. The purpose of the military formation is to create an opportunity to win with more enemies and to reduce one's own damage. Therefore, the soldiers are not unwelcome to this style of play.
As for one-on-one combat, that's not for the battlefield. Unless he is like the strong orc half before, he is so strong that no one dares to fight him. In order to prevent him from slaughtering the weak, only Ezio, a stupid young man, dared to go up and resist. But it’s also a time of support and a time of injury.
Although the gray dwarves were not a problem, the other team was completely different.
In the direction where Old Kawei was guarding, the enemies were mainly gray dwarves, and there were no troops from other races among them. But the Lord of the Abyss appeared and brought an army of demons along the way for it to use.
This army gathered the scattered gray dwarves and drove them forward to kill the enemy. And they themselves couldn't sit back and watch the show. They chose a direction early and launched an attack on the human army.
The big demons who went to gather the gray dwarves seemed to have become a war team, and they were stationed at the edge of the battlefield. The remaining demon army formed a military formation, cooperated from far and near, and attacked the human side.
The devil's long-range attack was not a crossbow or a stone throw, but a direct magic bombardment. For a time, fireballs were flying all over the sky, wave after wave. Fortunately, there are always gaps in the magic, rather than an endless stretch. Otherwise, no matter how elite the human army is, it will be stunned and crippled.
But even this kind of magic offensive with long intervals is still a headache.
Humans, unlike dwarves or elves, have demonic qualities. Although the soldiers belonged to the private army of the nobles of the Gwana Empire and were considered elite in the eyes of small countries or civilians, they were not equipped with a full set of magic equipment for self-defense.
The large wooden shield is covered with iron and can be erected to cover half of the body. Such a shield is already a rare and good piece of equipment in the hands of soldiers. Standard equipment cannot be replaced by soldiers at will.
Nowadays, the frontline soldiers facing the demon army can only use this kind of shield to withstand the fireballs thrown by the demons.
Demonic fireballs are slightly different from magic fireballs. One big difference is that the demon's fireball has the properties of lava. In addition to sputtering, it also tends to adhere to the hit object and continue to burn.
If equipment without magic resistance encounters magic, it will have to endure it. Whether it was the impact of the fireball or the explosion, a group of tall and strong men carrying shields were able to resist them all. At most, his body swayed for a moment, then he stood firm again.
But the flame attached to the shield was not extinguished so easily. Even if it fails to ignite the shield, it can still melt the iron covering it before it goes out on its own.
If a damaged shield like this is parryed a few more times, and then hit directly by a fireball, the shield will explode as well. Otherwise, it would be too hot to handle, making it difficult to hold it.
Once the shield is gone, the armor becomes even less safe. No matter how elite the soldiers are, they will still have to run away when they are hit by a demon's fireball. No one can really burn themselves in flames and still fight as if nothing happened.
It was this wave after wave of close-range shooting that shook the formation of the human soldiers. Several goat-horned demons holding scythes took the opportunity to rush into the formation, followed by little demons holding sharp claws and showing sharp teeth, and rushed into the army.
However, once the close combat begins, the devil's advantage is no longer obvious than before. The body of the goat-horned demon is superior to that of humans, and it is better than the elite soldiers among the humans in front of them.
But compared to humans, little devils are like big dogs and evil wolves. The teeth and claws are sharp and stained with the poison of the abyss, so they won't be of much use against a group of armored soldiers.
In particular, this demon army is not good at forming military formations, and they mostly do their own thing. So back and forth, they were fighting against the human army that they had baptized with fireballs. The outcome was not clear in a short period of time.
When the two sides are fighting, reinforcements cannot be sent casually. The most important thing depends on the state of the battle, whether it is a battle or a melee.
If it's the former, reinforcements will have to be added based on the Feng Shui direction. Perhaps this statement is a bit mysterious. In layman's terms, it means attacking from the flank or attacking from behind.
Anyway, it is not about blending into our own troops and attacking from the same direction. Because doing so will easily destroy one's own formation and cause disadvantages.
If a melee breaks out, reinforcements should encircle, then shrink and suppress. If there is a melee and one's own defeat is already apparent. Then the reinforcements should appear in formation in the rear, cover our retreat and regroup, and attack the chaos in an orderly manner to stabilize the situation.
In short, when reinforcements are coming, they don't just rush in all at once, they also need to be strategic.
As for how to fight and which reserve troops to use, it all depends on the commander's vision.
Old Kawei Gong may be a little hesitant about grand strategy, but in this kind of battle, he seems to have innate intuition. Messengers were immediately dispatched to order the appropriate troops to support the pincer attack on the demons.
On the contrary, to deal with the gray dwarf troops, the frontline soldiers are enough to deal with it, and there is no need to send additional reinforcements.
In such a good situation, old Kawei Gong actually felt bad. Because he knew very well that the real enemy had not yet entered the game.
At least one-third of the magic custom-made vehicles carrying the Abyss Lord's kites were damaged. The old man didn't know exactly who it belonged to. He would have to do an inventory afterwards to find out. But the remaining ones also led the Lord of the Abyss away from the battlefield and left the battlefield.
But this distance is nothing to a Lord of the Abyss. Even if he didn't use the same flickering talent as the big devil, it would only be a matter of a few steps for the mountain-like figure to reach him.
So when that statue turns back, when will the fierce battle really begin.
Compared with his superior battle situation in this direction, the outcome in the other three directions is not so obvious. The most important thing is that there are no magic customized cars in the other three directions to rush in, directly beating the enemy to pieces and demoralizing them.
In the case of battles and formations, the advantages of the coalition of demons, orcs and gray dwarves are still very obvious. There are just so many of them!
Even if the human army is so elite that it can even out this gap, it doesn't mean that it can fight more than one at the same time. It's just that you can deal with enemies faster and have more physical strength to fight continuously.
Therefore, how to dispatch, how to surround the enemy and create local advantages; how to support one's own side and avoid being surrounded depends on the capabilities of frontline commanders in all directions.
As the commander-in-chief, the old Kawei Gong was certainly not someone who watched the battle develop in other directions with cold eyes. After listening to the news sent back, he thought for a moment and then ordered someone to send an airship on standby at high altitude to provide support.
In this direction, there is a threat like the Lord of the Abyss. Even if the airship is for civilian and commercial use, it is extremely expensive. How dare you show off your power on the head of the Abyss Lord and test his ability to fight against the air.
Basically, in order to cause effective damage to the ground, the magician on the airship must only maintain a height high enough for Wolfram to jump and fish one down. This is simply too dangerous.
As for using an airship to defeat the Lord of the Abyss, old Kaweigong has never even thought about it.
But there are not so many scruples in other directions. Sending airships for split support can reduce the pressure and speed up the battle, allowing everyone to turn their attention back to their own side as quickly as possible.
If there was to be a head-on conflict with the two-headed wolf in the end, a bloody battle between the whole army would be the inevitable result. An army relying solely on its own side has no chance of winning.
And because the airship is being used, we might be able to find an opportunity to pick up the group of people from the hospital, mainly my granddaughter.
Doctors are of course very useful on the battlefield. But for that kind of first aid, the little doctors brought by old Mr. Kawei are enough.
The medical team headed by the Marquise de Liubalin was on the battlefield, just like a time traveler's hometown, where medical professors from top universities were asked to do some bleeding-stopping and bandaging work on the battlefield.
Let’s not consider whether someone did this voluntarily. In terms of the allocation of human resources, this is a waste of money. It would be even more stupid to allow these elites to die on the battlefield.
Therefore, evacuate these people as soon as possible to keep them away from the battlefield without irritating too many people and causing negative effects. This has become the most important goal in Lao Kaweigong's mind at this stage. Of course, the biggest reason is still my granddaughter.
