Chapter 404: Southern Border, Wang Meng's Strategy
Looking at the retreating heavy cavalry, Jin Ming, who had missed the opportunity, punched the ground angrily, but he also knew that nothing could be done.
He knew that this was caused by subsequent improper command.
Without the orcs as a unit, the follow-up army cannot keep up. What else can the heavy cavalry troops do besides retreat?
However, he did not expect that his beloved general on the opposite side could actually pull back the morale that was about to collapse.
After this battle, Fielding also lost a lot of troops, and it seemed that he did not dare to advance rashly again.
At the same time, he also asked the dwarf craftsmen in the city behind to make a large number of resistance horses overnight and placed them around the trenches to resist the heavy cavalry troops that might appear again.
At this point, the battle has reached a stalemate again, and has fallen into a state of mutual consumption.
Subsequently, a battle approached a fever pitch and lasted for more than three months.
Of course, these three months cannot be a constant shopping, it is more of a mutual testing and consumption from time to time.
During this period, the arrival of 20,000 reinforcements from the dwarf side put enough pressure on Jin Ming and the others.
The change in military strength suddenly tilted the originally balanced situation significantly, and Jin Ming had to lead his army to retreat to the city.
Once the news came back, Romanov, who had finally regained the leadership, was overjoyed.
However, before he could be happy for a while, his assistant officer hurried to him.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the south!"
"Southern Territory?"
When Romanov heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed the battle report in the auxiliary officer's hand and read it.
"Shit!"
Looking at the battle report, Romanov's face suddenly changed. The man named Xia Qi actually divided his troops to attack his southern border.
But then, after reading the subsequent content, his expression relaxed again.
According to his southern border guard, Pixon, in the battle report, the enemy's siege force was about 20,000. The current situation was relatively stable, and it would not be easy for the enemy to break the city.
As for the whole story of this incident, we have to start with the first defeat of the vanguard army.
After that big explosion, Xia Qi suddenly realized that he could indeed win by attacking the dwarf civilization, but the price he had to pay would also be extremely heavy.
So after discussing with Zhang Liang, he decided to open fire on both sides.
The army that attacked the dwarf civilization was the 20,000-strong army from the Elf Administrative Region commanded by Wang Arthur and Wang Meng.
They passed through the Yunmeng Bridge and walked along the Chi Road, then passed the Bamboo Sea where the Pandaren clan lived, and then climbed over the mountains and ridges, avoiding the frontal battlefield and attacking directly to the south of the dwarven battlefield.
A week ago, the first round of attack was officially launched.
At that time, almost all the attention of the entire dwarf civilization had been focused on the eastern front, so the unprepared southern border was caught off guard.
However, it is not that easy to seize the city. The garrison troops in the southern border of the dwarves have not been deployed, and the generals who defend the city are not mediocre.
After reacting, they quickly stabilized their position with the help of the 20,000 defending troops in the city.
Wang Meng and Wang Arthur did not have as strong siege buffs as Jin Ming, and the siege equipment such as cannons and eight-niu crossbows were far less brutal in their hands than in Jin Ming's hands.
Under this premise, both sides have 20,000 troops, and the dwarves on the opposite side have the advantage of city walls and defensive equipment. As long as the gap in strength is not large, it is basically impossible for the siege party to take advantage.
"Retreat! Retreat!!"
On the southern battlefield, King Arthur, holding the Sigh of the Wind, roared and issued a retreat order.
After a week of continuous stalemate, and with the gradual expansion of the defender's advantage, Daxia's army finally fell into a complete disadvantage.
On the wall of Steel Ridge City on the southern border of the dwarf civilization, Pixon, dressed in armor, looked at the intruders outside the city with a sneer.
Anyone who dares to invade Gangling City, which he personally controls, is simply asking for death!
"General, the enemy has been defeated. Why don't we lead our troops out of the city to pursue them and defeat them completely in one fell swoop?"
The suggestion made by the lieutenant beside him can be said to have touched Pixon's heart.
After hearing this, he nodded in agreement, raised the ax in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army listens to my order, open the city gate, follow me, kill!!!"
In Gangling City, the horn of attack was sounded, and the dwarf army with high morale rushed out of the city and launched a hunt for the retreating Daxia army.
For a moment, on the battlefield of the southern dwarves, two armies were chasing each other and one was escaping. The situation seemed to be clear.
The dwarf army, which had a clear advantage, was not going to let Daxia's army go so easily.
The dwarves' physical strength and strength were very outstanding. They moved very fast with their short legs and killed them all at the back of Daxia's army. The sound of heavy weapons and equipment seemed to have almost no impact on them.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, as the commander of this large army, Wang Meng turned his head calmly and looked at the elf general Howell standing next to him.
"General Howell, the rest is up to you."
"It is your duty, General, there is no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Howell silently raised the staff in his hand.
At the top of the staff, the azure wind magic core began to shine. After these years of practice, his cultivation has become deeper than before.
Coupled with the blessing of the third-level wind magic core on the staff, after a spell was chanted, a large amount of wind elements surged directly causing changes in the world, and the originally sunny sky instantly turned into dark clouds.
Amidst the howling wind, the fifth-level wind spell and hurricane spell are gradually taking shape!
"No! I fell into a trap!!"
When Pixon saw this, his expression suddenly changed, and then he began to roar loudly.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"
Following Pixon's order, the sound of retreat horns suddenly sounded throughout the battlefield.
But all this happened so fast that the dwarf soldiers didn't even have time to react.
At the same time, Howell's spellcasting is coming to an end at this moment. Now, the dwarf army that has chased it far away from Steel Ridge City has no time to escape back?
The next moment, amid the screams full of terror, and with Howell's staff held high, the fifth-level wind spell hurricane spell was completely formed!
A hurricane tornado connecting heaven and earth suddenly appeared in front of tens of thousands of people.
Daxia's army was okay. They were used to seeing magic and could barely keep their composure. However, the dwarves on the opposite side were all dumbfounded.
His eyes were wide open, and those pupils were full of incredulity.
The next moment, a tornado came.
Facing this powerful magic, the dwarf army was as fragile as paper and was destroyed in an instant.
The sweep range of the hurricane technique is extremely large, and the exaggerated wind force continuously sweeps everything around, including of course swarms of dwarf soldiers!
At this moment, facing the terrifying destructive power of the fifth-level spell, even the heavy armor could not bring any sense of security to the dwarf soldiers.
Once caught in the sweeping hurricane, the whole person will be minced into pulp and blood in the blink of an eye!
After several sweeps, the entire hurricane was stained with too much flesh and blood, and turned into a more terrifying dark red, giving the entire battlefield an apocalyptic scene!
At this moment, Howell's face turned pale, and the mana in his body was exhausted again.
But the people around him didn't dare to underestimate him.
The enemy army that originally had 20,000 troops helpless was now wiped out with a single spell. What is so terrifying is that if they didn't see it with their own eyes, how many people would believe it?
With Howell's magical attack, the battle situation in the southern dwarf territory instantly became clear.
After the hurricane spell was swept away, the remaining dwarf soldiers were bathed in the rain of blood with despairing faces. That hurricane spell defeated not only their army, but also their will.
Now this dwarf army has been completely defeated.
Pixon, who was lucky enough not to be affected, now had his entire face filled with fear.
Before he could recover, a sword was placed on his neck.
The owner of this sword is none other than King Arthur, the Elven King who fled in a panic earlier.
"Put down your weapons, or I will kill you!"
What Arthur Wang spoke was exactly the language of the Ice Bear Country.
His maternal grandfather is from the Ice Bear Country. Isn't it normal to be able to speak the language of the Ice Bear Country?
The remaining dwarf soldiers were all captured. As the Daxia army entered the city, it also announced that Gangling City, the southern border of the dwarf civilization, was officially included in the territory of Daxia at this moment.
After entering the city, as the commander-in-chief of this army, Wang Meng immediately took over the city wall, military camp and city lord's palace, and then began to make subsequent arrangements.
Leaving aside Howell, who lay down again after casting a fifth-level high-level spell, Wang Meng called all the army generals, including the Elf King Arthur, to the main palace of Steel Ridge City.
At this time, Wang Arthur was really convinced by Wang Meng.
The previous move was due to his plan.
Wang Meng started his layout as early as after the first round of siege failed to capture Gangling City.
On the premise that the army is equipped with elf priests for first aid, their casualties in each battle are actually not particularly large. If they are willing to consume a large number of magic arrows and cannonballs, they can attack by force.
But Wang Meng did not do this. Every time he fought, he would reduce part of his troops. He spent a full week putting on a big show for the opponent, making the defenders of the opponent think that they were
The number of troops became smaller and smaller as the battle continued, and they finally left the city to pursue them.
As for what happened next, obviously there is no need to say more.
With minimal cost and losses, they defeated the dwarf army and captured Steel Ridge City.
Of course, even if Pixon didn't chase him out at that time, Wang Meng would have already prepared plans two and three.
Next, there is actually no need for too much layout, because basically 80% of the troops on the southern border of the Dwarf Kingdom are concentrated in Steel Ridge City.
Now that Gangling City has fallen, there will not be much strength left in the following cities.
Not to mention that Romanov had previously dispatched 10,000 troops from the other three borders to support the eastern front.
In the next month, the southern army led by Wang Meng attacked the city and captured the territory all the way, which was an overwhelming force!
At the same time, the auxiliary officer who received the battle report could be said to be completely panicked.
