The intensity of the battle in the forest far exceeded Li De's expectations.
After the previous failure, Kilrogg Deadeye was able to effectively organize around 3,000 troops, which was just a little more than one warlord.
There is an unwritten rule among the orcs, that is, the clan leader must start as a warlord. Almost every clan leader has the experience of being a warlord.
3,000 orcs wielded blunt weapons such as battle axes, maces, and leaf hammers in the forest, constantly trying to dismember the dwarfs' positions. In such a forest, the orcs' powerful individual combat effectiveness was maximized.
In comparison, the dwarfs only have more than 2,000 troops. They do not have an advantage in terms of strength. The engineering weapon mecha is difficult to take advantage of its high mobility in the forest. The current situation is that it can only rely on long-range attacks.
Means to hold the position strictly.
Mekkatorque, the great craftsman, personally led dozens of mecha troops. He used the steel body of the mecha to erect a row of large shields to form a defense line between the trees. The dwarf shooters and bombardiers at the rear beat back the orcs' attacks again and again.
attack.
Although the gnomes are physically weak, they have smart minds. The machines they invented are more sophisticated and more reliable than the goblins, but they are also lacking in power.
With such technical characteristics, it always seems a little inadequate when it comes to a race like orcs, who are thick-skinned and thick-skinned and can kill old masters with random punches.
"Nix, you lead the engineering team and accompany the dwarf brothers to coordinate the defense. The others follow me around to the rear of the orc troops and attack their commander!"
Li De only has more than 200 men at his disposal. If he just throws himself into the battlefield, he won't even be able to make a splash.
As the saying goes, there is good but no surprise, although it is not terrible. If these 200 people all joined the dwarf's position, they would still be weaker than the orcs in terms of military strength.
Moreover, it might disrupt the dwarf's position layout, and it would not give full play to the advantage of the troops. Therefore, Li De only asked Nix to take a team of more than a dozen goblins, accompanied by the dwarves, to join the dwarf.
Here, he will lead his troops, act as a surprise force, and disrupt the orcs' position with a beheading plan.
"Chief, there is an enemy army heading towards our rear!"
Kilrogg is standing under the flag and commanding the battlefield. Although Kilrogg is also a brave warrior, the situation at this time is in his favor and there is no need for him as a commander. He is still like a big-headed soldier.
To charge into battle is to be irresponsible to the entire team.
Kilrogg is more in line with the image of a wise general than most orc commanders. He once paid the price of one eye to predict his own ending, so Kilrogg believes that he has a better understanding of the future than other orcs.
Judgment is more accurate.
In Kilrogg's heart, he didn't think highly of Grom Hellscream, the leader of the Warsong Clan. He believed that a reckless man who only knew how to fight would not be a good leader, and it was important to remain calm at all times.
Because of this, Kilrogg, who was loyal to the tribe, did not drink the cursed demon blood.
"How many people are there in the enemy force?"
"About 200 people."
"Humph, 200 people? Are they dwarves? Or dwarfs?"
This number made Kilrogg a little disdainful. He casually asked about the composition of the enemy army, and the scout shook his head and answered.
"No, it's the humans and... and the trolls?"
The scout hesitated when he answered, because he was not sure whether it was a troll, which was very different from what they had seen before in Stranglethorn Vale and Loch Modan.
"Huh? Troll?! I knew the races in this world were unreliable! That guy Zuljin joined us, not only did it not bring much help, but it also weakened our military strength in disguise. Now there is another group of trolls fighting with us.
enemy!"
Kilrogg cursed angrily, but then a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"There are only 200 people. Are you looking down on me? Send 300 people to stop them. The dwarf position is almost captured. Don't distract too much energy from this small group of enemy troops. Once the dwarf position is captured, there will be enough time.
Deal with them. I want to find out where this group of trolls came from."
To be honest, Kilrogg's strategy is actually reasonable and grasps the main contradiction on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, he made a mistake in miscalculating Li De's troops. 300 people could not stop Li De and others.
"Everyone spreads out and fights with elite warriors as the core team! Troll hunters and witch doctors provide support on the outside of the battlefield. Solve the battle as soon as possible!"
Since arriving in Tanaris, even in the most difficult times, the Hundred-Man Troop has not failed to train while assisting in production. Today, the Hundred-Man Troop has nearly 20 elite warriors.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, the hundred-man army dispersed into a dozen combat groups, entangled with the orc troops in the forest.
The 300 men sent by Kilrogg were fooled almost instantly. Because in their concept, the human race's heavy armored infantry has always been a phalanx advancement method. They should have been more advantageous in the forest.
, why did the opponent disperse among them so quickly and fight with such an efficient group?!
The orcs have very strong individual combat capabilities. If it is a one-on-one fight, the humans will often suffer heavy losses. But today is different. No one is going to fight the orcs alone.
With elite warriors as the core, the heavy armored infantry fighting in squads wielded long knives. The one-meter-long broad and thick blades could kill orcs efficiently, which was completely unmatched by traditional weapons such as war swords!
The orcs are accustomed to fighting alone, which is also related to their culture that advocates individual heroes. In their concept, a super strong warrior suddenly emerges on the battlefield, which can boost the morale of the entire army. As long as they rush in swarm
If you go up there, you will be invincible.
This has resulted in a serious lack of cooperation among the orc soldiers. A single orc is just delivering food. Even if he encounters an equal number of orcs, he is no match for a team battle!
Li De used the whip to hold an orc's hammer, and a long knife immediately rushed out from his side. He did not pause at all after a slash, and the blade's force continued to block the attack of another orc.
At the same time, another long knife arrived and chopped off the orc. At this time, Li Decai slashed down and killed the first orc who was seriously injured by the slash.
Each team is a whole, attacking continuously one after another. No matter how skilled the person is in combat, facing such an opponent, if they are slightly negligent, there will only be one end.
The troops advanced steadily, and the orc soldiers were constantly defeated. This kind of battlefield rhythm was very comfortable, and there was no need for Li De to highlight his personal bravery, which would disrupt the rhythm.
The orcs were led by a commander, and he saw the evil nature of the enemy army in front of him. The people of the Bloodring Clan always had flexible fighting ideas. Realizing that the situation was wrong, they immediately ordered all soldiers to press forward in order to disrupt this attack.
At the same time, people were sent back to the rear to seek support, and the reserve troops of the other two Centuries were also pulled over.
The orc leader had done a good job, but the man he sent out to ask for help was shot through the neck with an arrow and died on the spot not far away!
"Yah ho!"
Angaga let out a strange cry, hung the crossbow back on his back, took off his spear and rushed towards the orc leader with the three men.
Among the troll troops, the one who best understood Li De's tactics was Angagagu. The purpose of their operation this time was to take Kilrogg directly. Angagagu also followed suit and looked for opportunities on the battlefield.
Kill the opponent's commander.
The sand trolls were not adapted to the snowy climate, but fighting in the forest at this moment allowed the sand trolls to relax the original imprint of the jungle trolls in their bones.
The orc leader also noticed those strange-looking trolls staring at him, and immediately led the guards to rush towards Angagagu.
The three hunters following Angagagu used crossbows to cover their commander. The troll officer held his hand empty, lightning flowing on his fingertips, and then threw out a beam of elemental magic, hitting it there.
Orc leader.
The orc leader who was wielding the mace felt that half of his body was numb, but he still roared angrily, and his eyes became extremely blood red. His power was so great that even if he just waved the mace with one hand, two Ans holding spears could parry.
Ge Gagu's wrists were a little sore.
The two officers started fighting hand-to-hand on the snow. The orc commander was kicked in the chest and hit a big tree, causing the snow on the tree crown to fall.
Angegagagu rushed up with his spear. Unexpectedly, the opponent hit the spearhead with a heavy hammer and tilted it to the side. Then the whole person bumped into him. Angegagagu was knocked down in the snow with his hands.
The spear he was holding was also released with one hand.
The orc leader knew that the other party was a spell caster, so he must not give the other party a chance to prepare spells, and immediately gave the troll in front of him a fatal blow.
However, what he never expected was that although Angegagagu had no time to prepare to cast the spell, he leaned over, took off the crossbow from behind, lay on the ground and fired the crossbow at the opponent!
"Boom!"
"Pfft!"
An arrow hit the opponent's shoulder. The orc leader took two steps back. Angaga stood up suddenly and pierced the opponent's heart with the spearhead made of fine steel!
"..."
The orc leader moved his mouth twice and uttered a phrase with difficulty. Unfortunately, Angagagu couldn't understand what the other party was saying, and just ignored his death.
A battle like this was going on simultaneously on the battlefield. It only took half an hour for this 300-man orc army to lose most of its casualties. And now that their commander had been crowned, the other orcs had no courage to resist, and they all fled.
.
Li De ignored the fleeing orcs and simply ordered everyone to clean the battlefield and move forward.
