Chapter 165 Highland Decisive Battle (End)(1/2)
Chapter 165: The Decisive Battle of the Highlands (End)
There are actually Draenei Paladins hidden in the ogre group, and their actions seem to be to break through the Forgotten Defense with the impact of the mount... Is this possible?
How can the troops that stand out among the tens of thousands of Forsaken and act as the vanguard be underestimated? Just because these formations are scattered and have poor strength, you can tell at a glance that it is the team of adventurers, fighting against the elite troops of Undercity? Is the Alliance's brain in the water?
The forward commander looked at the overestimating Draenei's sneering disdainfully and shouted loudly to the soldiers to strengthen their defense. However, he was responsible for being cautious.
Not only the Forgotten Commander, but even the generals of the Ninth Legion were a little shocked. The power of the ogres is no worse than these adventurer knights. They may not be able to break through the defenses they rely on? Isn’t this going to die?
Francis even sarcastically mocked Rommel: "Is the food in Rapids so short?"
Rommelho ignored it and looked at the Delaney Paladins who were charging forward in the desperate situation, and smiled coldly: "Nicia, you can think of this method, which really makes me admire you!"
Nicia scolded him angrily: "Don't you know now? You can also let your brothers try it!"
"Uh~" Rommel paused for a moment, and turned back with an innocent look on his face, "But I don't have such a great appeal! And there are few brothers..."
While the two of them were talking, the Paladin Draenei in front of them had already rushed to the position where he had made ten wrong steps in front of the Forgotten Formation. He took out a hissing gunpowder barrel from behind and hugged it in his arms, his face full of madness and pierced it on the wall of shields...
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The deafening explosions sounded one after another in front of the formation, making everyone on the battlefield stare silently and at a loss.
After the smoke of gunpowder, hundreds of Draenei Paladins came to bring their mounts, all disappeared without a trace. The Forgotten Shield Formation, which was originally like a copper wall, had already been covered with holes, and the soldiers who were shrouded in the power of the explosion also suffered heavy casualties.
Rommel looked at the stunned officers of the Ninth Legion with a sly smile and pointed to the goblin businessman in the corner with a weak presence: "It's still the gunpowder they provide! But this time the unlucky one is the tribe..."
In the sky above the battlefield, Xie Feng, who rode Narel to watch the battle first, was also shocked by this change. He looked at the rolling Arachi Highlands below with a blank expression and murmured to himself: "Is this Arachi or Afghanistan?"
When both sides had no time to react, the dull-brained ogres rushed into the already scattered Forgotten without hesitation, and the Forgotten, who were caught off guard, were torn apart by them without any resistance. The ogres led by Fulbery and Okalar easily crushed these undead soldiers with their height and weight advantage, and in an instant, the entire Forgotten Army was in chaos.
Seeing the critical situation, Xie Feng, who was watching the battle in the air, did not bother to sigh at the feat of the Draenei Paladin, and quickly asked Narel to fly to the Forgotten Back formation and landed next to the blinded flag.
At this time, the blind man no longer had his usual indifference. He was anxious to dispatch troops to intercept the ogre's impact, trying to restore his despair. Seeing that Xie Feng fell down, he didn't care about saying hello to him, so he nodded casually and ignored him.
Xie Feng also knew that the situation was urgent and did not come forward to disturb the already anxious blind man. He grabbed his personal guard captain to ask about the situation~
At this time, the ogre has not yet been called, and the blind man is not in danger for the time being. His personal guard captain has nothing to do, so he patiently explained it to Xie Feng...
A total of 18,000 reinforcements were sent to the Galakent Valley to resist the raids of the Wild Hammer Tribe, and another 3,000 and 1,000 Blood Elves Rangers were sent to the south to block Dangaluck. There are only 10,000 here now!
Because the alliance has uneven military branches and does not want to start a big showdown in the open area, it chose the battlefield under the Soladin Wall. It wants to rely on the number of people to force the Forgotten to fight on the third line, and is dragging down the Forgotten with the new force of ogres.
And this is the idea that the blind person is the most likely!
After knowing the reality of the alliance through Dasalia, he learned that his side must be at a disadvantage in terms of quantity. Once a big showdown is launched, although the winning rate is very high, the danger is not small. The best outcome is to win a bad victory. Therefore, in order not to allow the alliance to develop a numerical advantage, he simply chose the battlefield under the Soladin wall. While using elite troops to resist the attack of the alliance, he dispatched superior troops and powerful elves to destroy Dangaluoke first, and then dragged down the alliance with the physical advantage of the undead...
But what he didn't expect was that Nicea's vicious tactics easily destroyed his plan! If he could not block the attack momentum of the ogre and stabilize the formation, a big defeat would inevitably be...
Seeing this clearly, Xie Feng was so scared that he was sweating. If he was defeated in this battle, all the tribal forces in the highlands and hills would be devastatingly hit, and he and these blood elf rangers would also die without a place to bury them!
At this moment, a blood elf ranger with a panic face rushed from the south. When he saw Xie Feng present, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care about saluting and reported to the blind man in a hurry:
"Mr. Commander! The war ahead is unfavorable. The strength of Dangalock dwarves and Nanhai Town reinforcements has increased greatly, and we can't stop it..."
"How is it possible?" The blind man was shocked: "Where is Vodion? I gave him three thousand elites. With the power of the ranger, he could not destroy a group of dwarves and navy troops, but was defeated by them?"
The Ranger said bitterly: "Mr. Vodion was seriously injured as soon as the war started. If it weren't for the Rangers' support from the side, we would have been defeated long ago!" Before the blind man asked, the Ranger continued: "Master Vodion asked me to tell you that the group of people led by the other party should be the Seventh Legion of the Alliance in Theramore!"
"Seventh Legion?" The blind man and Xie Feng were stunned at first, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Xie Feng was silent for a moment and asked the blind man bitterly: "How many more troops can he draw?"
"It's useless!" The blind man said in a calm mood: "Even if he can barely squeeze out three thousand people, he can only stop them at most. Once the main force of the alliance joins the battle, we will definitely lose!"
"Do you want to withdraw your troops?" Xie Feng said a little unwillingly: "If you retreat, the Hammer-Dropping Orcs and the Polluters Legion will be finished!"
The blind man was speechless and sighed after a moment of silence: "You take the rangers to retreat first! Retreat from Steinbred to the Undercity..."
Xie Feng smiled bitterly: "I have had a quarrel with some people. Now I have retreated, so don't even think about raising my head again!" He paused: "And after this defeat, the alliance will definitely increase troops here. At that time, the Undercity is weak, so how good can we blood elves be?"
The blind man: "We don't have the strength or opportunity to fight the alliance even if we want to fight to the death. Staying here can only be a waste of time!"
Xie Feng silently glanced at the noisy battlefield...
At this time, the forward was disbanded by the ogres, and the Wardyn Corps was suppressed by the Seventh Corps and fought hard, and most of the Forgotten Ones already knew about it.
Everyone knew that the defeat was decided, but the Forgotten Warriors showed no sign of disintegration. They stood there indifferently holding their weapons tightly, without any fluctuation in morale.
The blind man mechanically sent waves of new forces forward to resist the ogres, organizing them to prevent the chaos from spreading to the entire team, and making final efforts.
When Xie Feng looked around in a daze, he glanced at the undead plague catapult cart and the plague barrel with a creeping green light behind the team, his eyes suddenly frozen there, and then he became more and more... The familiar scene of the battle of the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation in the game in his previous life flashed clearly in his heart~~
He quickly walked to the blind man and asked excitedly: "How many plague barrels are there? How large can it cover?"
The blind man was stunned. Xie Feng's expression at this time seemed to be a drowning man grabbing the last straw, excited and nervous, and even a little crazy~~ Seeing him like this, the blind man knew that he must have had a plan to turn defeat into victory, and replied carefully with expectation: "This time is hasty, we didn't bring too much~ it can cover the area of a rapids at most."
Xie Feng was disappointed at first, and then he heard that he could cover such a large area of the Rapids Castle, and he was overjoyed: "It's enough!"
Seeing him like this, the blind man was also excited: "Tell me, what are your countermeasures?"
"There is a countermeasure!" Xie Feng did not answer directly, but asked back: "But it is indeed a vicious plan that can be defeated by the death. It depends on whether you dare to take a gamble!"
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I dare to gamble!!" The blind man replied without hesitation, then pondered for a moment, stared at Xie Feng, and said firmly: "From now on, you will be the supreme commander here! Do you dare to answer?"
Xie Feng paused and said proudly: "Why don't you dare? Since you have been forced to the point where you are now, let's go all out!"
The blind man said nothing and directly made his position under the commander. Xie Feng was not polite and summoned the army and came to the Forsaken Warriors to stand in the middle, and then ordered: "Divid one thousand people, bring the plague catapult cart and all the ammunition to the ruins of the old castle, and find a high place to ambush and stand by!"
The blind man pointed to an eighth-level Forsaken warrior and asked him to obey the orders and took a thousand people to ambush.
"Sent to Galinde to lead the Rangers to retreat first and stand by invisible at Dunhold Castle."
"Send Vodion to lead the team to retreat and move closer to this place!"
Although the officers were a little disdainful of Xie Feng's request for the rangers to retreat first, they still didn't say anything. But then they not only did not send anyone to support him, but also asked Vodion to retreat, and also moved closer to the middle. Isn't this a desperate situation? Before they could question, Xie Feng immediately ordered:
"Let the large troops retreat to the high ground retreat back, and all troops retreat to the northeast!"
After this order, even the blind man was a little at a loss. It would be reasonable to let the soldiers who had entered the high ground cut off the rear and create opportunities for the main force to retreat, but Xie Feng's meaning was obviously to let everyone retreat together. In this way, the group of ogres would likely take advantage of the situation to pursue, as well as the attacks from Dangaluoke and the Seventh Legion, the retreat would definitely turn into a great defeat!
Seeing that no one was executing the order, Xie Feng turned around and stared at the blind man without saying a word, waiting for his statement.
The blind man is not an indecisive person. Since he has given the military power to him, it means complete trust. He shouted to the Forgotten officers without hesitation: "Do what he wants!"
The officers had no choice but to do so.
As orders were issued, the Forsaken soldiers in front of the Soladin wall slowly retreated and retreated from the high ground to the hills. However, because the forwards had been dispersed, the Forsaken retreated in a small group, and there were some ogres who rushed too far, and there was no formation at all. As the officers expected, the ogres refused to let go easily, and followed the defeated soldiers, causing the chaos ahead to become bigger and bigger. It even affected the central army that had not yet participated in the war.
Everyone thought that Xie Feng asked the soldiers to retreat to defend the Soladin Wall. But seeing more and more ogres coming, Xie Feng not only did not send troops to intercept them, but instead ordered everyone to continue to retreat and directly gave up the Soladin Gate.
An Forgotten officer couldn't stand it anymore and gritted his teeth and advised Xie Feng: "General! You can't retreat. If you continue like this, you will have a great defeat..."
Xie Feng ignored it at all, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes~ He said in a cold voice: "What I want... is defeat! Keep retreating for me!"
The blind man also shouted in a deep voice with a cold face: "Continue to retreat!!"
Everyone did not dare to question it, so they glared at Xie Feng a few times, turned around and returned to their respective troops to try their best to maintain the soldiers so as not to cause great chaos.
Xie Feng frowned and said to the blind man: "Select the most elite unit to stop the enemy in the south. In addition, except for a few people who use them to suppress the ogre shaman, the mage unit will cooperate with the interception. We must not let the Seventh Legion rush into the large army!"
The blind man nodded and asked the messenger to make arrangements. After a while, the general who had persuaded Xie Feng just now came to the south of the large army with two thousand soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the Seventh Army. The strait troops in the rear also distributed about half of the manpower to replenish them.
Everything was arranged, Xie Feng and the blind man were in the middle and led the army to slowly retreat to the foot of the Altlank Mountain in the northeast.
Not far away, Vodion retreated back to the army in a mess with about a thousand defeated soldiers. Then the alliance troops led by the Seventh Corps chased after them. The divided elite troops rushed forward to support and rescue Vodion's team.
With many mage professions helping each other, the two thousand elite troops finally curbed the offensive of the Seventh Legion and made them rush into the large army.
The Forgotten Ones fought and retreated. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the right side of the ruins of the old castle. Along the way, the ogres chased and fought desperately regardless of casualties, the 10,000 army had lost about 3,000 people. All the troops were almost unable to hold on and were about to be completely disbanded.
At this time, Xie Feng gave another order that shocked the blind man: "Order the defenders in the Galakent Valley to leave a thousand people to block the enemy, and the rest retreat eastward and bypass the ruins of the old castle to stand by!"
After the blind man went to send an order, he frowned and asked Xie Feng, "Are you trying to capture the alliance in one place? Don't you think you have too much appetite?"
Xie Feng looked crazy and smiled a little hysterically: "Yes! The army was defeated, and everyone could not escape death! Since that's the case, why can't I use their lives to exchange for the destruction of these alliances?"
The blind man lowered his head and sighed for a long time, and asked, "How many people can we have left? So what about the alliance?"
Xie Feng: "I don't know how many people will be left on both sides. I can only tell you that the more we die, the more deaths the alliance will die! But we must be the winner!" After saying that, he called Narel, who was flying over the sky, and asked him to convey the news: "Go and tell Golmore and Ruthever, let them follow the alliance's troops and block the alliance's retreat when the opportunity occurs!"
The blind man asked, "You are so confident that you can defeat the league?"
"Of course!" Xie Feng nodded, then smiled bitterly, "But there will be no more left in the Forgotten Warrior... What I am worried about now is whether your Queen General will send someone to chase me,"
The blind person...
Xie Feng said again: "Send orders to the ambush soldiers, and wait until the alliance forces launch a total of the total, and fire plague barrels for me regardless of the enemy and me! Cover the entire battlefield!"
The two talked for a moment, and after everything was deployed, they took all the soldiers to retreat quickly to the north of the old castle and the valley formed by the foot of the Altlan Mountain...
At this time, there were only hundreds of remaining Forsaken warriors left in the Galaken Valley, trying their best to guard the exit of the valley to prevent the Wild Hammer Dwarf Army from coming out. When the army quickly passed by, the ogres chasing also discovered the group of remnants and immediately besieged from behind without hesitation. In an instant, they worked with the Wild Hammer Dwarf to eliminate them. Then the ogres continued to hunt down the Forsaken, and the Wild Hammer Dwarf organized their formation and rushed into the hills.
At the same time, the two thousand warriors who blocked the offensive of the Seventh Legion received the order of Xie Feng, and then frantically poured out magic for a while, and together with the large army, they advanced into the valley formed by the highlands where the old castle was located.
This group of soldiers is the most complete combat power among all the troops. After Xie Feng retreated them, he did not let them get entangled with the ogres, but directly pushed them down and set up a defensive formation with the former Galakent Valley defenders who retreated here first.
The Forgotten soldiers who retreated all the way finally received Xie Feng's order and scattered into small groups in this narrow valley to strangle the ogres. Although they caught the Forgotten one off guard, the ogres were ogres after all. If Xie Feng did not order the retreat, these silly big men with no cooperation and discipline would definitely not be the opponent of the Forgotten soldiers. Now the Forgotten people are serious against the enemy and will reverse the situation in an instant!
On the other side, the Ninth Legion followed the Ogre, the Alasso coalition also met with the rushing Wild Hammer Dwarfs, the Seventh Legion Dangalock Dwarfs, and others, and lined up behind the Ogre team. Lord Fistard, Prince Galin and Marshal Alfred gathered together to discuss and look at the situation in the valley ahead~
Prince Galin first observed the surrounding environment, and then said: "Fighting here is very unfavorable for us! The terrain in the middle of the valley is narrow and the advantage of troops cannot be expanded. The undead arranged in the rear are condescending, so it is very difficult for us to attack..."
Fistard: "What if they go around them and surround them?"
To be continued...
