Chapter 613 The Battle of Tirisfal (2)
The Scourge's Southern Expeditions occupy the Holy Light Monastery.
Terenas knew this information, only less than half an hour later than Kane, which is relatively fast.
Next, the response speed of the state machine is also very fast.
The imperial meeting was held, and some of the military orders had already been issued first.
At around 15:00 that day, the Falken Falcon Vanguard Army stationed in Hearth Valley, together with several other troops, rushed to Tirisfal.
Uther, as the highest military officer of the coalition forces in the Dalong region, also thought of a troop to participate.
He hoped to take advantage of the unsteady foothold of the Scourge army that invaded the south, and wipe out that bridgehead in one fell swoop, so as not to turn into a bad situation like Caer Darrow and the Underdark, which consumes troops and supplies.
As a result, the Scourge always seemed to know what he was thinking,
The Scourge Army, which was huddled in the dark area, even took the initiative to send troops out, and it seemed that it meant to re-enact the battle of Mo Songlin.
Last time, the Scourge took the initiative and successfully positioned Mo Songlin on the battlefield, waiting for work to fight the coalition forces, and finally retreated in an orderly manner. Strategies and tactics are relatively successful.
This time, the coalition forces were more competitive and responded quickly. The vanguard troops arrived first, and successfully blocked the natural disaster army in the wilderness southwest of the forest area.
Afterwards, the main force must continue at a constant speed, and when the vanguard retreats to the edge of the forest in an orderly manner, it will meet with it.
Seeing that the coalition forces relied on Mo Songlin, the Scourge Army set up an array. There was no hard charge, but an orderly retreat and rearrangement amidst the sound of desolate horns.
Rearranging on the battlefield is not a common situation in this era. Often only the veterans who have fought the sea can quickly complete the assembly and re-form a strong and powerful army in the atmosphere of the battlefield that is fierce and passionate, and in the chaotic situation where they may be chased by the enemy or find it difficult to find their new affiliation. Punch instead of devolving into a rout and escape.
Obviously, the Scourge does not rely on experience to complete the assembly of the battlefield again and again, but relies on the loyal obedience of the puppets, without compromise.
Originally, the low IQ of the individual Scourge army was one of its major shortcomings. They often looked good at the beginning of the fight, but they would soon become swarmed by mobs.
But relying on this strategy of putting away their fists again and again, the brave trolls in Northrend, the disciplined frost-blooded dwarves, and the nerubians who have both,
All became the defeated generals of the Scourge. Until encountering the Freemasonry supported by Kane.
Freemasons call this style of play of the Scourge Army a land-sweeping tactic. They sweep back and forth repeatedly. During this process, some dead undead will be repaired, and some enemy camps will be revived with the dark resurrection technique. The officers and soldiers acted as cannon fodder.
Ever since, in the eyes of opponents, it is often found that the Scourge Army is dead, alive, and cannot be killed at all, and the comrades who fought side by side with him not long ago have now become hideous and terrifying enemies. Morale down.
However, the Freemasons, or Kane's combat power, don't follow this set, and some even have countermeasures. Even the troops of the Falcon Kingdom in the coalition army played very well, and this time they used it on the Scourge, and the effect was very significant.
One of the opposite methods is the holy light toxin bomb.
Although holy light is a kind of energy that is beneficial to the human body, people who use the power of holy light as extraordinary energy can still separate impurities in daily power extraction.
In the past, these impurities were discharged at will and left to nature for digestion.
However, the light-casting craftsmen of the Holy Palace gave people the correct usage. They have special pendants to assist in refining energy, which can make meditation more efficient and the extraction effect is better. The waste residue is collected by it and will eventually condense into Crystals, the specific setting time varies from person to person.
And these crystals can be sold for money, and they are also important resources for fighting against evil spirits. The money is quite righteous.
Then came the Holy Light Toxin Bomb.
It is a weapon specially developed for the reality of the battlefield.
With the fight in full swing, it is unrealistic to use the purification technique on the spot. One is that the safety factor is low, and those who can perform the Holy Light Purification Technique are the precious power of the coalition forces. Their mana should be reserved for the wounded and sick, rather than being at the forefront to prevent the enemy from repairing or resurrecting the undead.
Furthermore, it was too late. Restoration of immortality is done one piece at a time, and resurrection is mostly a single body, but the casting speed and consumption are more practical than the blessing of the holy light. And the Scourge's spell-casting units far surpassed the Alliance's.
With the Holy Light toxin bombs, the situation is different. These bombs are laid in a simple, concealed and quick way, and ordinary soldiers can operate them.
Afterwards, for the casters of the Scourge Legion, repairing and recovering became a kind of gambling behavior. Once the target of the operation, or there is a holy light toxin bomb within the range, the winning bid will be triggered, and then the holy light toxin will cooperate with The evil energy in the body and the power of darkness fight to the death, turning the caster's body into a battlefield. No matter who has the upper hand or who wins, they will cause great harm to the body and soul in the process of confrontation, which is extremely It is not an exaggeration to say that pain is a cruel punishment.
This time, the casters of the Scourge Legion were in pain, and their bosses became wary. After all, no matter how many spellcasters they had, they couldn't withstand this kind of wear and tear.
Instead of fighting to support war, even fighting more and more, the prestige of the Scourge Legion was immediately reduced by half.
Since the infantry of the Falken Kingdom Army was formally incorporated into the alliance a little late, Uther saw the fineness of this army for the first time today, as well as the large-scale use of holy light toxin bombs on the battlefield.
On the tall horse, he glanced at the vanguard group that had retreated to rest, and nodded secretly.
The biggest difference between the soldiers of the Pioneer Regiment and other troops of the coalition is that their team atmosphere is not serious, with a little lively, even ruffian, but in fact, they did not whisper to each other, let alone make any noise. Their lively and ruffian, It was reflected in his expression and demeanor, he was a little lazy, he didn't take it seriously, he wasn't on the battlefield at all, and it was the dignified and excited after a tough battle.
Uther knows that fighters who can relax on the battlefield are often more explosive, have a better mentality, and perform well when they start a battle.
‘Use me in the first battle, use me to win. ’ The slogan of this rapid-reaction infantry regiment is no bragging. Uther thought so.
The Rapid Reaction Infantry Regiment is lifted into the air with the 'Storm Catapult', and then launched into the battlefield with a wingsuit and a parachute.
The Storm Catapult was invented by Gnomes, but Kane improved it to make it more useful.
The flying squirrel suit is blessed with wind elemental runes, and the speed reaches 200 kilometers per hour.
The performance of the parachute is also improved by magic, so as to provide the user with sufficient deceleration effect when the parachute is opened at low altitude.
In addition, the personnel must also be equipped with the "Windwalker" magic pendant. Humans in Azeroth are much stronger than those in the original world. Kane's consistent aim is to put in more effort and let utensils serve people, rather than the other way around.
Therefore, this infantry, which mainly uses hand axes and conical arm shields, has excellent killing ability, especially when facing ghouls, skeletons, and nerubians who lack solid weapons and are not rough and thick. Cutting melons and vegetables is generally sharp.
Now, the beautiful prelude is over, and it is sucking to start.
The two sides have also played against each other when you come and go. I don’t know how many times. There was nothing to say. Seeing that the troops were moving in place, Uther waved his sword in his hand, and the drums of war immediately resounded across the battlefield, and the battle began.
The royal cavalry of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, in conjunction with the Knights of the Silver Hand, is the central force of the coalition forces, but in fact Uther this time relies more on the combat power of the two wings, especially the left wing.
There are cavalry from the Icewind Barrier, and the backbone is the heavy cavalry of the Knights Templar of the Scourge Army that annihilated Kel'Thuzad in Andorhal.
Uther believed that when this force showed its fangs, it would definitely surprise the Scourge again.
On the bright side, the Knights of the Silver Hand are the sharpest, followed by the Royal Knights, and the battle begins with the invasion of the Ministry.
The troops on the two wings also started to move, but they had to be slower. The horses just trotted, and their speed did not quickly increase to the highest speed like the cavalry in the center.
Looking down from the sky, one can see that the coalition army is like a wave gushing out of the dark green sea, but soon a large triangle protruding from the center is formed. The front line is all cavalry, thousands of cavalry, so many cavalry Charge, the sound of drums, hoofbeats, and shouts of killing mixed together, like rolling thunder and roaring, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became intense.
In the words of the bard: "The valiant knights spurred their loyal steeds, rushed across the wilderness like a wind, and gave their enemies the fate of destruction. The heavy horseshoes smashed the residual snow and mud, and the loud noise was like roaring thunder from the sky. sound……"
This was also the first time the Scourge 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 magician group), but they have to figure out how. The Scourge is also very arrogant, with many types of arms and flexible tactics.
This time it was the Bone Dragon Spearmen who were the vanguard and resisted the impact of the human cavalry.
Just listening to the name, it is not difficult to guess the abacus of the Scourge.
These dragon spear soldiers can be said to be mobile refusal horses, not afraid of death.
When the Bone Dragon Spearmen stepped forward to line up, looking down from the sky, the Scourge's lineup clearly had a grey-white line shining with green light.
The off-white ones are bones, and the green ones are fel energy.
When the field of view is drawn closer, you can see the bone dragon spears scattered and orderly like porcupine thorns. Front end raised.
Behind the array of white bones and skeletons is a column of psychic mages. From the air, they are just a thin line in the array, but the magic light around them is the most intense.
In addition to the fact that these psychics are activated and cast at any time, it is also because they have higher treatment than ordinary soldiers, are protected by force fields and energy barriers, and have magic circles that can teleport and retreat in time.
After the psychic, there are crypt spiders, they are medium-range strike troops, they can release dark spider swarms, a very evil magic + physical hybrid attack, the biggest evil point is that they turn their offspring into opponents A weapon that perishes at the same time, this is obviously a fighting skill that can only be possessed by distorting the life instinct.
The physical shape of the crypt spiders determines that it is difficult for them to form a dense array in the traditional sense, otherwise they will not be able to advance and retreat. However, the Scourge arranged violent ghouls among the crypt spiders this time. They are equivalent to knives and axes. Hands, used to cover the retreat of the necromancer, and to protect the lower body of the crypt spider.
Of course, if the wind is down, they are also responsible for making up for the kills, especially those knights who fell off their horses. They are happy to kill that kind of tin cans, because their flesh and blood are more delicious and nutritious. It also smells better for ghosts, and they can't get enough of it.
Behind the rampaging ghoul is the bone shooter. These are not temporarily summoned cannon fodder, but a kind of puppet.
Uther and the others had experienced how powerful they were in the battle when they rushed to rescue Caer Darrow but fell into a trap. The white bone arrow has the effect of breaking demons or enchanting. The archery technique is not exquisite, but the strength is that the arrow is thick and penetrating, and it is almost as powerful as the scorpion crossbow.
This time, the role played by the bone archer is the British longbowman of this world. They took the lead in launching long-distance strikes on the charging coalition cavalry... ()
