Chapter 367

Therefore, according to the plan, the coalition forces are concentrated on the border of Quel'Thalas, and the border with Zul'Aman.

Trolls are a relatively backward race. They do not have developed smelting skills. All weapons are made of wood, bone, stone and other materials. However, even so, they are a powerful race.

Amani trolls are forest trolls characterized by green skin and moss that can grow on their skin.

Amani trolls are particularly good at fighting in the forest. They use spears, throwing spears, daggers and other weapons, lurking in the forest, launching fatal blows on enemies who enter here by mistake, and using poison to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness.

Even high elf rangers have to admit that these forest trolls are indeed comparable to them when it comes to fighting in the forest.

For a long time, it is precisely because of the forest troll's powerful forest combat ability that Quel'Thalas has a strong strength but has been unable to exterminate them, and they are able to hide in the Zul'Aman jungle, every once in a while. It will make a comeback and cause a lot of trouble to the high elves.

Now, however, with the help of humans and Wildhammer dwarves, the Amani trolls are not destined to continue to harass and wear down their foes through familiar tactics until they are overwhelmed.

According to Ye Ting's arrangement, the armies of high elves and humans were not commanded independently according to race.

Ye Ting organized the rangers into squads, and then arranged the squads into various infantry regiments to act as scouts and archers.

And each of these legions maintained the overall formation, starting from the edge of the Zul'Aman jungle, and carried out a carpet-like search of the entire jungle.

The key to Ye Ting's tactics is to invest as many troops as possible in a small area, and give no room for those trolls who are good at lurking. , But in this case, how can the wandering trolls compare to the alliance's rigorous army?

As for the Griffin Knights of the Wildhammer Dwarves, Ye Ting simply let them patrol the sky above the Alliance army in batches. On the one hand, they can support the infantry under attack at any time, and on the other hand, they can be regarded as excellent scouts and information transmitters.

Compared with the dragon eagles of the high elves, although the griffins are not flexible enough and have no strange powers, they are stronger and more durable. They are able to travel long distances and maintain long-term aerial patrols. They are not vulnerable to a troll's sneak attack, so they can fully implement Ye Ting's tactics.

In this way, the army of the Alliance launched a raid on Zul'Aman.

Chapter 0482 Troll's Dilemma

According to Ye Ting's request, the alliance's army, with a regiment of more than 1,000 people, launched a carpet-like campaign in the jungle of Zu'Aman step by step.

In the face of the alliance's attack, the Amani trolls only regarded it as another futile war initiated by the high elves, so they also wanted to deal with the enemy this time through the old method.

However, they were wrong.

What they have to face is not the sparse high elf army, but an alliance army of tens of thousands of people from three races.

In the face of such a large and dense army, the traditional tactics of hiding and infiltration of the Amani trolls have lost their effectiveness.

They found that although a large part of their enemies were quite unsuitable for jungle combat, they remained quite cautious. They took every step and did not covet speed, but moved slowly through the jungle, not allowing any hidden trolls to penetrate. Opportunity. They are like huge sieves, trying to sift the Zul'Aman Forest from the frontier, and all the trolls hidden in it, no matter how good at concealment, will be vigorously sifted out in the process.

There are also hunters among the trolls who do not believe in evil and try to hide from the army of the Alliance through superb concealment methods, but they are either killed or captured. In the search process, the infantry will stab their weapons at any suspicious place, including dense trees, caves, and even streams.

And once there is a troll attacking the infantry from hiding, maybe they can kill one or two infantry with a surprise attack at first, but then they will face the siege of countless infantry, even if faced with this situation A troll as powerful as Zul'jin had to flee.

It's a pity that even escaping, the troll doesn't have much chance.

The existence of the Griffin Knights in the air is to deal with such a situation. Any abnormal situation in the forest will be detected by them at the first time. They will target the exposed trolls and launch a pursuit against them from the air. The hammer will shatter the heads of all trolls they can see.

As a result, the trolls found desperately that their living space was compressed bit by bit.

It's not that they didn't think about making a big move and using the terrain to ambush the Alliance, but this tactic proved to be a failure in the end.

If there are too few trolls in ambush, then there is simply not enough damage to the Legion of the Alliance. They often can only use spears and throwing axes to kill a few unprepared infantry at the beginning, and then face a massive counterattack from the enemy. The high elf rangers who are placed in these legions will play their role at this time, hiding behind the infantry and they can easily kill those exposed trolls.

However, a large-scale ambush is even less effective.

The stealth of the stalker, or the concealment of the forest troll in the forest, is not the true distortion of light and invisibility like the invisibility of the mage.

Just myself.

Therefore, such a large-scale ambush is basically impossible in front of the Griffin Knights patrolling at high altitudes. As long as one or two people show their flaws, it is equivalent to exposure of everyone.

In the end, the trolls have only one remaining countermeasure, and that is to fight the Alliance head-on.

However, how can it be so easy to defeat the Alliance in head-to-head combat?

The current Amani trolls are no longer the troll empire they used to be. Their power is much weaker than in the past. Even in the face of an attack from the high elves, they can only fight guerrillas in the jungle to make the high elves fight. The elf could not bear the large number of sacrifices, and backed away. How can such a troll have the ability to fight the alliance head-on?

Although high elves cherish their own population and cannot afford a lot of sacrifices, human beings are different.

Although it is cruel to say this, in fact, compared to the high elves, human soldiers are indeed worthless. If they can exchange one with trolls, then for the Alliance, this is a profit.

Or to put it more clearly, human infantry, in this war against trolls, the biggest use is to become cannon fodder.

It is up to them to bear the sacrifices of jungle warfare, and it is the rangers of the high elves who truly reap the lives of trolls.

This is also the reason why Ye Ting mixes high elves and human troops.

He had prepared for the loss of the human army in the forest due to the constant harassment of trolls.

Expose trolls through humans, kill trolls with elven rangers.

Although no one except him knows his intentions, this is the real meaning of this tactic.

To his surprise, however, there were no reports of mass casualties until a week into the League's inroads into Zul'Aman.

Apart from the fact that at the beginning, the casualties were a bit high due to reasons such as not adapting to the jungle and insufficient tactical running-in, after that, there was not a single day where the casualties exceeded 50 people.

According to the feedback from the front line, after several failed ambush and several major blows, the Amani troll side seems to have begun to give up the tactics of killing the alliance through the hidden ability of the Amani troll in the forest.

In addition to the scouts, a large number of troll hunters began to return to their base camps, seemingly preparing to gather their strength and face the Alliance head-to-head.

When making this judgment, Ye Ting, the commander, didn't believe it at first, because it was too out of character for trolls.

But after a little thought, he felt that such a result seemed reasonable.

And the reason for this is precisely because of the high elves' previous plan - to capture Zul'jin and not kill him, but to use him to contain the Amani trolls.

Judging from the current situation, the Amani trolls are obviously held back by this strategy.

Zul'jin, the spiritual leader of the trolls, is absent. The Amani trolls are leaderless and can only be ruled by Zul'jin's capable subordinates, as well as the highly respected witch doctors and priests in the tribe.

If Zul'jin is still around, Zul'jin himself can certainly decide on the strategy of the war, and if Zul'jin is dead, then the trolls will elect a new leader to lead them.

But now, the trolls have to face the co-rule of multiple leaders, and none of them can do it all.

The reason is very simple, if anyone can show the talent and ambition to lead the entire Amani troll clan, then if Zul'jin returns, how will he go about it?

However, the result of multiple votes is slow and conservative decision-making.

Many people vote, and no one wants to be responsible for the failure, so the final result is often the most conservative and least error-prone.

This is exactly what the current trolls are, making the most conservative decision-in the case of attrition and the failure of guerrilla tactics, they chose to give up their original tactics and concentrate their forces before fighting the alliance.

However, is this really the best tactic for trolls?

Chapter 0483 Siege Ancestor Aman

In the eyes of the rulers of the Amani trolls, it was a fairly correct decision to concentrate troops and fight the alliance head-on.
