Chapter 190: Ambush
How to fight an offensive battle with superior troops and superior terrain?
It must be the central army that advances, squeezes the enemy's front, and restrains the enemy's main force to the front, and then uses high-speed troops to surround the enemy's weak points from the side, causing the enemy's formation to shake. When the enemy's main force has to divide the troops to maintain the side defense line, the middle line concentrates its forces to break through, disperse the enemy's formation in one fell swoop, and the rest is to divide the encirclement and annihilate it.
For Daliang, under the cover of the forest, he did not know where the main enemy forces were, and he did not know where the enemy troops were on the flanks were. In the same situation, the elves' army also did not know how to deploy his troops.
According to the feedback from the Death Ghost, they should have encountered the elves' main striker, because if they were encircled troops, they would not attack the Ghost for concealment, but would bypass them from afar. Only the main troops would advance so loudly. They were going to tell the enemy that they were coming and concentrate the enemy's attention on themselves to provide cover for the encircled troops.
Daliang drew a circle in the area where the ghost died. This is the area where the main force of the elves is located. Although the specific number and exact location are unknown, it does not affect his tactical implementation.
Look up and see the direction of the treetops swinging, the southwest wind.
Daliang ordered that all the skeleton soldiers arranged in the forest to the west would move northeast after discovering the enemy.
The Blackfire Fleet sailed south against the wind, responding to the Blackfire leading army retreating from the shore.
Sure enough, as soon as the Black Fire Fleet appeared on the sea, it was discovered by sentries arranged by the elves in the coastal forest. A fleet was approaching, and the Black Fire-Lead army was retreating rapidly. All signs showed that the Black Fire-Lead army had discovered the approaching elves army. They wanted to escape when they knew they were defeated.
All kinds of arrangements have turned the Black Fire-Leading army into a turtle in the jar. Of course, the hero who commanded this elves would not watch the enemy flee.
The head of this elves army is Earl Wilder, and he is also the hero assigned by Joshua to stay in Chongming City. Because this opponent was the Flying Dust Baron who made Joshua grit his teeth, Earl Wilder personally led his army and brought his most trusted magic consultant Druid Fered.
Riding on a unicorn and looking around the army scattered throughout the forest towards the northeast, Earl of Wilder said to Ferred beside him: "The army of the Black Fire-leader wants to escape, and their fleet has already arrived. We must catch up with them as soon as possible. As long as they are blocked on the coast, the artillery on their warships will not dare to fire casually."
Ferred nodded and said, "The Earl is right. As long as we surround them on the beach, we can slowly trap them. As long as we eliminate the army of the Black Fire Leader and severely damage the Flying Dust, the Earl will definitely be appreciated by the City Lord. When the Marquis captures Shangjiang City and becomes the King of East Sea, the Lord should also be promoted to the Marquis."
Earl Wilder is not very optimistic about the current situation in Shangjiang: "The transformation of Songjiang City is very unfavorable to us, and the Marquis urgently needs support. In order to prevent the ultimate creatures owned by Feichen Island, Chongming City had to leave three golden dragons, three green dragons and us. Now the Black Fire-leader's army landed on the island is a good thing for us. As long as we eliminate the army of Feichen, we can divide a large part of the military force to support Shangjiang and determine the victory before the dungeon's army joins the war."
Ferred saluted, "I will do my best to win this victory for Lord Earl."
Earl Wilder nodded and said, "The opponent's level 15 Hell Angel, level 14 Archangel and the newly emerging level 14 creature Frost Dragon, please ask you and your dragon."
Fered looked at the golden dragons and green dragons walking past him and said confidently: "Let me and Ralph."
At this time, a golden dragon, which was more round than other dragons, stopped beside Ferred. His scales were even brighter and a dragon saddle was tied on his back. He spoke, "With Ferret's magic help, I can deal with a level 15 creature with a low hero level. In order to win, I allow you to ride on my back to fight."
The main force of the elves was successfully led to the north coast, and the Black Fire-leader's army turned left collectively and faced the south.
According to the attacking party's ideas, there should be a small-scale elves army coming over there.
The south wind brought some different temperatures into the nose of the underground lizards, and a group of elves came over.
"All troops are hidden, and no action is allowed without orders."
The frost dragon lay down, and nearby soldiers put branches on him, trying to cover his huge body.
Soon a elves appeared in the woods not far away.
Their number is about two thousand, mainly three types of troops with strong mobility, such as centaurs, elf archers, and Pegasus knights. A green dragon walked in the middle of the team, and an elf hero sat on his back. He looked like an elf ranger and a commander hero in the outfit.
The elf hero just received an order from Earl of Wilder: the main force of the enemy was moving towards the coast, and their army responsible for encirclement needed to block the enemy's left wing.
To determine that there are no enemy troops around, they are moving quickly in the forest. They need to block the enemy's way eastward in time. To the east is the Dongtan Wetland, where the swamp terrain is not conducive to the elves' rapid encirclement and annihilation of the enemy.
During the rapid progress, the green dragon suddenly stopped and quickly sucked the surrounding air. The airflow that formed a circling in the forest contained some different smells.
"Why stop?" The strange thing of the green dragon caused the entire elf army to stop. The elf hero who was anxious to go asked anxiously.
"Prepare for the fight, we are surrounded."
A dragon roar sounded from the woods ahead, and a terrified dragon with a breath of fear lifted up the branches on its body and stood up. He roared at the elves' army. Some elves were so scared that they put down their weapons and turned to escape.
Like locust arrows shot from the surrounding grass, the forest was filled with shadows of enemy troops. The Pegasus Knight wanted to take off, but found that the sky was occupied by griffons.
"Array! Array!" The elf hero shouted to the at a loss of time: "Concentrate the defensive front to me, Earl Wilder's army is nearby. As long as we persist for a while, we will wait for support..."
The hero's words had just fallen, and the roar of artillery was connected in a string.
All the cannons seized from the outpost fortress were brought out by Daliang with frost dragons and archangels. The cannons that were disguised had already completed the loading state, and the fire was so close that it was impossible to avoid it. The grape bullets loaded by the twelve cannons instantly formed a metal storm swept across the elves' teams.
