Flash floods broke out and were as powerful as a rainbow!
Everyone was frightened, their limbs were weak, and they were terrified!
The violent flash flood poured down from the mountain stream, like thousands of galloping troops and horses, and like the large-scale migration of animals before the arrival of winter. After being trampled, everything was flattened.
Rumble!
The flood peak surged like an ancient behemoth roaring and devouring everything.
The soldiers standing in the castle subconsciously gathered together, as if this was the only way to bring a sense of security.
Boom! Boom!
Flash floods hit the city wall and rolled back again. After several times, cracks appeared on the wall.
The soldiers suddenly realized that Downton had asked them to build the city wall not for defense, but to withstand an erupting flash flood.
Seeing the flood rushing past just a few feet away, every soldier turned pale. If they were involved, they would be dead. But soon, they became excited and looked down the mountain.
At this time, the camp was like an ant nest poured with boiling water. There were soldiers everywhere who were fleeing for their lives. Not to mention that the supervising team was not calm. Even if they killed them with their swords, they couldn't help but collapse.
"Why do flash floods occur this season?"
Some officers screamed in grief and anger, thinking that this was a Samsara of Heaven. Although there was more rain in the autumn, such disasters had not happened at all in the past ten years.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Most of the officers have been fooled. Even if they mount war horses, they cannot run through the flash flood. And even if they are lucky enough to survive the flood, they will still face the pursuit of the Downton Army. There are 150,000 troops here.
, has been doomed to the end of total annihilation.
"Why didn't I see his conspiracy earlier?"
Self-blame is like a poisonous snake, gnawing at the heart of the supreme commander. The feint attacks in the past few days, as well as Downton's personal breakthrough that day, were all acting. They had never thought about Yi Zi. As early as after the capture of Elsingburg
, they are ready to annihilate their own side!
"Is this the star of a famous general who takes one step and counts ten steps?"
The supreme commander is full of bitterness. Anyone who sees the rise of a general in the empire will not feel comfortable.
"Commander, retreat, otherwise it will be too late!"
The captain of the guard recovered from the shock, called a few subordinates, took the reins of the commander's horse and led the way, and then slashed the horse's butt with a knife.
The flood peak surged down, swallowing everything like a tsunami!
Won victory! Won victory!
Seeing the enemy's glorious and majestic flag moving backwards in panic, it was then discarded. Then it was submerged by the flood. The Delankfurt army let out a roaring cheer!
In an instant, camps stretching for dozens of miles were submerged by the flood. It was like a ferocious beast that hunted wildly, and the soldiers disappeared into its "big mouth" one after another.
"Success!"
Drizzt cheered excitedly.
"After this battle, my master's name as a famous general will surely rise to the top of the North!"
Blackhand lamented that the battle at Downton was so beautiful that it was enough to be included in textbooks and sent to any military academies.
The barbarians all looked at Downton with admiration and enthusiasm. He was worthy of being the successor of Barbarian King Tanan. He was destined to lead the whole clan to prosperity!
Warchief! Warchief!
The ogre roared and paid the greatest respect to Downton. He had completely conquered these hilly natives with successive victories.
"Why!"
Bloodmaul looked at Downton's back and sighed heavily in his heart. He originally planned to use him to develop his power and kill him after the tribe rose. Now it seems that this has almost become a delusion.
The natives are simple-minded. Not to mention that life is gradually getting better under Downton's command, but this horrific record will make them lose their will to fight and run away!
The red scarf army's face was dull, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, but in the end, it turned into happiness. If he were down there, he would definitely be dead.
Downton was sitting on top of the nightmare, with a calm face. He seemed to have the air of a general, but in fact, he had no idea at all. This tactic was too dangerous. If the Drow Rangers hadn't done a good job of covering the battlefield, it was very likely that they would have been killed at the beginning of the operation.
, was discovered.
Of course, this continuous autumn rain also helped a lot, otherwise the mountain stream water would have been greatly reduced, and clues would have been revealed, and it also delayed the pace of the enemy scouts.
After looking at the terrain map around Elsingburg, Downton began to send troops to select suitable locations on the mountains to build embankments. Homer, a great polymath who was proficient in various departments of magic, architecture, and geography,
Now, it can be done easily.
"Is this the art of war? How can we still fight like this without magic?"
Homer marveled.
Because of the existence of magic elements in the Western Earth Plane, their war situation is very different from the world in Downton Dreams. Here, magical power is the decisive factor. A group of mages is enough to turn the tide of the war, but Downton is better, stunned.
He used some 'unconventional' tactics to avoid encounters with the mage group, and then defeated the enemy.
Why don't the northern countries think that Downton will win? In addition to the gap in national power, there is also the comparison of magical power. You must know that the establishment of a magician group takes several generations to accumulate. After all, cultivating a magician is too time-consuming.
"These few battles commanded by Downton will probably change the shape of war in the Western Continent. At least the inertial thinking that the mage group is the trump card will be broken."
Homer looked at Downton, curious about what was in his head, but no matter what, a famous general could never take off his title.
"My warriors, use your hands to destroy the enemy and seize victory!" Downton saw the mountain torrent gradually calming down. After taking a deep breath, he pulled out his war blade and waved forward, "Charge!"
"charge!"
With a roar that shook the sky, light cavalry opened the way, and the infantry reared up. Like tigers coming out of the gate, each regiment rushed down the camp that was flooded by the flood, and began to harvest the remaining soldiers who were lucky enough to survive.
The undead bone dragon flapped its wings, took off, and flew towards the enemy camp at the lead. A domineering and powerful super-level dragon can greatly boost morale!
"Damn it!"
Blackhand cursed. Due to the flood, the ground was muddy and soft. His heavy cavalry could not gallop freely and had to rely on two legs to travel.
There is no suspense about this battle. Except for those who were drowned, not to mention those who survived drank a lot of water and spent a lot of energy in the struggle. The mere dispersion of the organization is fatal enough and cannot be organized.
An effective front. Use the strength of the corps to resist. Even the ace corps has to kneel down quickly and neatly!
"stand at attention!"
Seeing Downton boarding the deck, the captain raised his hands to salute and shouted loudly. The other goblin soldiers also stood at attention and saluted with respectful expressions.
"lets go!"
Downton returned the greeting and walked straight to the bridge.
"Everyone is in position, the battleship is taking off. Heading northwest, altitude 70, speed 6, let's set off!"
Following the captain's command, the battleship took off in an orderly manner. After it went ahead, the six steam airships that were originally hovering in the air also followed.
Downton nodded with satisfaction, the airship had great tactical significance.
The water attack tactic was not discovered by the enemy. It was also thanks to the use of warships to carry soldiers. Otherwise, the footprints left on the ground would not be covered up. The dams were also blown up by the air force. Otherwise, relying on soldiers or magic would cost both money and money.
It's a waste of time and magic energy, and the elemental fluctuations that destroy large dams may also attract the attention of local magicians.
"We must vigorously develop the air force and expand the reserve of goblin bombs!"
Downton knew that his mage group was weak. And even if it was established, it would not be large in scale. So he might as well work hard to develop air force technology, so that he could at least take the lead among third-rate countries. No, those second-rate countries should not be either.
opponent!
The battleship sent out a semaphore, and after the airships responded, they sailed away from the fleet to find the location of the local commander.
Downton couldn't bear it anymore when he saw his subordinates chasing those defeated soldiers like lost dogs. The other regiments were fine, but for the sake of military merit, the hilly natives would kill the enemy even if they surrendered. Wherever they passed, they left a trace of
Headless corpses that had been stripped naked.
"You cannot be a commander-in-chief if you are soft-hearted!"
Homer comforted.
"I think killing soldiers is different from fighting on the battlefield. The ogres' military discipline must be rectified!"
"In this moment of great victory, don't throw cold water on them, otherwise it will affect morale. Take your time!" Homer joked, "Have you seen those Red Scarf Army? They are not merciless!"
The Red Scarf Army is indeed ruthless, and at this time, they also see that the motherland is about to be defeated, so they take advantage of this time to get enough heads to offset the death penalty. On this battlefield, military achievements are simply for nothing.
"Is this human nature?"
Out of sight, out of mind, Downton went to the bedroom. He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, so he just wanted to take a nap.
In the evening, the flagship's magic radio rang. It was an airship sending a message, and traces of the local commander were found.
“This stuff is good!”
Seeing that this kind of radio made of a kind of crystal, even if it is very expensive, Downton is ready to develop it on a large scale and then equip it with the army, because it can greatly improve combat effectiveness.
One afternoon, the supreme commander actually ran away for nearly a hundred miles, and at this time, he was leading hundreds of guards and settled in a small town.
Even the tired and hungry soldiers could not care about their own compatriots and requisitioned everything in the village.
Some villagers murmured a few times before being beaten to the ground by soldiers who were full of anger and had nowhere to vent their grievances. If the commander hadn't spoken out, these guys might have drawn their swords and killed them.
"Don't disturb the people. Return all these things and pay double compensation!"
The commander-in-chief looked at the simple dinner on the table, but he knew that the meal was enough to feed a family of four for half a month!
"But the commander-in-chief..."
Before the captain of the guard could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Do as I say. After eating, you can leave. Follow me. Sooner or later you will be dead!" The commander looked at the sky. He knew that the enemy's warships must be looking for him.
"Commander!"
The guards cried out sadly and knelt down in unison.
The commander-in-chief was not acting, but he really wanted these guards who had been with him for several years to survive. Unfortunately, there was no chance, because the soldiers' exclamations came from the long street of the town!
