Prell and Kane Bloodhoof both know the importance of having an army quickly, because they have urged Screaming Thornmane, the leader of the alliance, several times to assemble the army as quickly as possible and launch military operations against the target as soon as possible.
No matter how you look at it, Screaming Bristlemane is a qualified leader. He is thoughtful and clever, and he also has certain military leadership skills. At least from Prell's point of view, this wild boar man can be regarded as one of the leaders.
Outstanding.
But after all, the joint military deployment involves many races and clans, and a series of issues such as the fighting habits of each race and logistics supply must also be considered. In short, even if Screaming Thornmane is capable, it will still take a long time to gather the joint army in the backwater oasis.
More than half a month.
During this period, the combined troops of tauren and kobolds from Glory Post have been mobilized, and together with the harpy army of the Witchwing Clan, they are stationed in the south of Sweetwater Oasis.
Prell also borrowed several raptor druids from Hamuul Runetotem again to send a message to the Kingdom of Thresh. He first ordered Tamra Wasteland to lead several kobold shamans and mages,
Head to the Blackstone Mine and take charge of protecting the kingdom's new open-pit coal mine.
As for Snu, he has been transferred back. Together with Belga and Lestalen, he will follow a batch of weapons produced from the Stonehoof Valley Arsenal, mainly various small battle axes and shields, to come with Prey.
I'll meet you.
This batch of weapons is naturally provided to the Thornback Clan. Prell currently has a large number of orders in hand. For each tribe alone, the clan's weapons needs are diverse. However, Stonehoof Valley Arsenal implements assembly line operations, and Prell specializes in
Send a letter to Lao Chen and Nineel, requesting to select another 200 kobold apprentices to enter the arsenal.
This time, all the logistical supplies for the coalition forces of various races were provided by their own race or clan. Screaming Thornmane was not arrogant enough to rely on the Thornback clan to supply all the materials consumed by the coalition forces. Regarding this point, the leaders of the parties did not argue too much.
Many, because everyone's situation is similar and no one is rich.
The indigenous races are too poor, so they unite and prepare to eat the big ones. The centaurs, a race and force that has robbed the tauren and quickly "blocked and robbed" other races in the barren land, are the united indigenous races.
The first goal of the races.
The climate of the Barrens alternates between rainy and dry seasons, resulting in wars basically breaking out during the dry season, which is equivalent to late spring and early summer, late autumn and the entire winter.
Almost all the indigenous races and clans related to the Barrens gathered together in the Sweetwater Oasis, with troops and convoys coming and going. Naturally, this could not be hidden from the centaurs, and they did not even need to think about it. The centaurs all knew that they were in trouble.
Out of public anger, the only target of the united indigenous army is them.
So the Centaurs took the lead in attacking. They sent out a large number of small teams and began to invade and attack the east and southeast of the Agamagog region, in an attempt to attract the main force of the coalition forces outside the backwater oasis.
As soon as the Centaur army moved, the indigenous coalition forces that had been struggling for a long time finally moved. Squealing and Thornmane's performance once again impressed Prell. He didn't pay attention to the Centaur guerrilla detachment that broke into the Agamaggo area.
Lead the heavy army and fight directly towards the backwater oasis.
Strictly speaking, there are four large oases in the Barrens. The Backwater Oasis occupied by the Centaur is in the southeast, the Sweetwater Oasis in the west-central part is the Forgotten Pool in the northwest of the Sweetwater Oasis, and the Silt Oasis occupied by the Venture Capital Company
A swamp is also an oasis.
The landforms of these four large oases have one thing in common, that is, there are low hills and hills on almost all sides. It is also the obstruction of these hills and hills that intercepts part of the sea breeze blowing from the Endless Sea.
From the valley to the windy valley, into the barren land and the underground rivers that emerged, almost all oases are limited to the hills.
The Backwater Oasis is the largest oasis in the Barrens. There are two disconnected hills to the east, plus the rolling mountains of the Merchant Coast further east. This oasis extends to the southwest, and to the west of the oasis, there are
It is a land of low hills.
The terrain of the oasis is flat, which is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also because after the centaurs of the Kokar clan occupied this place, they actively expanded outwards. Their purpose was very clear. Since they had expelled the people who had previously used this place as a hunting ground,
The Thornback and Steelmane clan have offended the quilboar people, and war is inevitable, so they should try their best to "defend the enemy outside the country" and lead the war to other places.
Screaming. Thornmane's response was simple and rough, which made the Centaurs very uncomfortable. When the indigenous coalition forces left the Sweetwater Oasis in a mighty manner and marched all the way to the edge of the hills in the western part of the Backwater Oasis, the Centaur guerrilla detachment could not
Did not withdraw from the Agamagog area.
Then the army of the Kokar clan also appeared behind the hills. The indigenous coalition forces had already reached their doorstep, and they had to go out to fight.
Screaming. Bristlemane quickly set up his formation. His quilboar army of the Thornback Clan was in the center, with the Thorn Ridge Steelmane quilboars on the left, the harpies of the Witchwing Clan on the right, and the Prells on the left.
The kobold garrison is on the right, and the tauren army is on the right.
This arrangement is a bit disgusting, because all the indigenous races have fought wars with centaurs not once or twice, and they are all familiar with each other. The most common tactic used by centaurs is to flank them, relying on their strong flexibility and mobility to constantly involve them.
Opponent's formation.
Screaming and Bristlemane's arrangement is obviously to use the kobolds and tauren as cannon fodder to attract centaur attacks. What's more sinister about this arrangement is that compared to other races, the kobold army is the smallest and has the fewest soldiers.
Centaur's best breakthrough point.
As soon as this arrangement came out, Cairn Bloodhoof immediately protested. He expressed his hope that he could switch with the Briarmane Wildboar, and the tauren would be responsible for protecting the kobolds.
Prell originally wanted to stand up and object angrily, but Rexxar said softly: "Believe in the kobolds, believe in the companions, and believe in the tauren instructors. The troops we brought out still have the ability to protect themselves."
Prell looked at Rexxar and decided to believe him for once. Although he was the warchief of the Kingdom of Thresh, Preel spent a lot of time with the garrison, but he always lacked understanding of the kobold race.
kind of confidence.
Krinik Badbis jumped out before Screaming Thorns could speak: "We are an alliance, and the current leader of the alliance is Lord Thorns. There is no problem with his arrangement. And we Steelmane Wild Boars are right at the head of the dog."
We are with our friends, and if the situation is critical, we will not ignore it!"
Screaming Thorns gave Badnose a rare look of approval. No matter what, the wild boar people are the same race after all. At least Klinic. Badnose was maintaining his authority, so he said loudly: "My arrangement is
There is no problem. As an indigenous coalition, facing the enemy, we must have only one correct voice, Tauren Chief, please trust us wild boar people!"
Seeing that Prell was also making fun of him, Kane Bloodhoof closed his mouth angrily. After the task was assigned and he left the tent, Kane Bloodhoof came close to Prell and said: "I will
Send the raptor druids to continue to conduct reconnaissance there. Don't worry, the tauren are always the kobolds' best friends!"
Prell laughed: "Please rest assured, Chief, we kobolds are still capable of protecting ourselves!" Kane Bloodhoof nodded: "May Mother Earth protect you and us!"
At the kobold camp, Snu, Belga and others have arrived, accompanied by three kodo beasts and more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages. The horses pulled by the carriage were bought by Jikniku from the Kingdom of Stormwind through his goblin friends.
.
There are many races on Kalimdor, including many nomadic races, but only the night elves raise a small number of horses. After all, each race has its own mount or nomadic livestock, such as tauren herding kodos and centaurs herding
Cattle, kodos, and quilboars herd fighting pigs and hyenas. Compared to the Eastern Kingdoms mainland, Kalimdor lacks enough horses as means of transportation.
The weapons carried by these carriages have been handed over to the Thornback Clan, and the Thornback Clan also provided a batch of leather as agreed, and the handover location was in the direction of the Apalaye camp.
According to the agreement, the goods traded between the two parties will be settled immediately, and there will be no credit or debt. After all, the Kingdom of Thresh is also in urgent need of some necessary raw materials.
The carriages of these carriages have been unloaded, and according to Lexa's instructions, they have been placed on the outside of the defense line defended by the kobold army. Prell, leading a group of kobold soldiers, began to dig in places that were not covered by the carriages.
ditch.
In this battle involving almost all indigenous races and foreign races, Screaming and Thornmane's tactical consideration is to defend and counterattack. Because facing the centaur's abnormal mobility, this is the best way to deal with it.
Moreover, they have already arrived at the oasis, and the centaurs must take the initiative no matter what.
Therefore, both sides have been preparing nervously, and the war is about to break out. During this period, Screaming Thornmane also specially led the clan leaders to patrol around, and saw Prell leading the kobolds to dig trenches, and it was not a straight line, but
It was a curved circular trench. He suppressed a smile and said, "This method is really good. It can block the centaurs and prevent them from running!"
Prell naturally heard the slightly sarcastic tone, so he deliberately said happily: "Ah ha, it seems that the chief has also seen the benefits of trenches. I think our method can be promoted."
Screaming. Bristlemane couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter. The other wild boars and Dustwind Harpy matrons who followed also laughed loudly. Prell looked at this group of people and was shaking with laughter.
The pig head also burst out laughing.
Only Cairn Bloodhoof did not laugh. He had already heard the kobold tactics response plan from Prell, and felt that Screaming Thornmane was a bit silly. Sylvia Bloodfeather raised her eyebrows, the same
