The situation and rhythm of the battlefield are always controlled by the centaurs. The Kokar clan only sent more than two thousand archers to shoot back and forth, screaming. Thornmane's response was also very simple, sending three thousand wild boar soldiers forward to protect the two wings.
The Centaur's front line will not continue to be attacked unilaterally.
Screaming Thornmane responded very cautiously, because he knew that the two thousand or so centaur shooters were just bait, with the purpose of tearing apart the formation of the indigenous coalition. Once the formation was torn apart, more centaurs would join in.
Come to the battlefield.
Although Screaming Thornmane's military quality is not very high, the Thornback clan and the Kokar clan are old rivals. They suffered too many losses at the hands of the centaurs, and Xue also learned how to deal with them.
So the battlefield turned into three thousand quilboar soldiers holding large shields and slowly advancing to meet the enemy. The quilboar kept screaming and fell to the ground, while the centaur archers kept retreating, but the quilboar army only moved forward.
After dozens of steps, the quilboars in the front row set up shields to cover the shooters in the rear and continue to counterattack.
Prell stood on the watchtower car, quietly watching the lively battle in the distance. Although he was too far away, he could not see the specific battle process, but the billowing smoke and dust caused by the Centaur shooters running back and forth made him
Realized that the centaur had not yet used its full strength.
Faced with the rogue "kite flow" tactics of the centaurs, at least the indigenous races at the moment don't have many ways to deal with it. Unless the indigenous races can form a cavalry or have crossbows with a longer range, they can only
Can be beaten passively and unilaterally.
Of the various races participating in the war, perhaps only the tauren archers can compete with the centaur archers without falling behind. However, the tauren are too large. Facing the centaur's tricky shooting skills, the tauren archers must also have sufficient shield protection.
, and the Minotaur's mobility is insufficient, so strong players will always suffer some losses when facing agile players.
The battle that took place directly opposite the Thornback clan had lasted for almost forty minutes. The centaur archer's running speed had slowed down, and the arrows he shot became sparse.
Prell looked up at the sky. There were four or five black spots hovering. They were the tauren and raptor druids conducting high-altitude reconnaissance. He looked at the two hundred kobold reserves behind him and noticed that these were participating for the first time.
The soldiers fighting in this large-scale battle were both excited and excited, and also had the natural timidity and fear of the kobold race. Even before joining the battle, some soldiers had already begun to tremble.
A black dot gradually grew larger, and then circled twice above Prell's head. Lexa waved his hand, and the ten kobold musketeers guarding the watchtower cart put down their muskets. The black dot fell down and turned into a black dot.
Became a tauren raptor druid.
"A centaur army was discovered in the north, about two thousand people. Judging from their route, the target of the attack is here!" The Raptor Druid informed the news, then transformed again and headed towards Kane Bloodhoof.
The tauren army formation flew away.
"You really treat us like we are weaklings!" Prell said to Lexa. Lexa shrugged. Although the two of them looked relaxed, in fact, they both had the same lack of confidence in their hearts.
In the first battle of the human garrison, it was able to perform somewhat to the level of training.
The centaur army that made a large circle in the north did not appear, and the battlefield ahead finally changed. When they discovered that the thornback wild boars only wanted to defend, the centaurs finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent more soldiers.
At least five thousand centaurs poured out of the hills, with various flags flying, and launched the first wave of attacks on the left flank of the indigenous coalition.
Prell suddenly frowned because he received another task assigned by the system:
"Rebuilding Home
(Step 2) Eliminate the living forces
The Kokar clan centaurs entrenched in the backwater oasis have always been a huge threat to the tauren race.
Now, various races and clans in the Barrens and Stonetalon Mountains have united to launch a large-scale attack on the Backwater Oasis.
Killed 15 Kokar Centaur Wind Chasers and 20 Kokar Centaur Tramplers alone on the battlefield, dealing a powerful and devastating blow to the middle-level officers of their army.
This will help gradually destroy and eliminate the Centaur backbone.
Mission reward: 520 experience points.
Mission reward: 1 talent skill point."
Before Prell could find anyone to ask what the Kokar Centaur Tramplers were, the troops sent from the backwater oasis on the opposite side had already swept towards the left flank of the indigenous coalition.
Judging from the direction of their charge, it was obvious that it was the gap between the kobold army and the Wild Boar position in Thorn Ridge. Needless to say, the centaurs were ready to attack the kobolds.
Prell mentioned the "Burning Blade" and said to Lexa: "I will go to the front to take command, and you will be responsible for staying behind and paying attention to the centaur army in the north that has not yet appeared. I guess they must be planning to go around and move forward and backward."
Attack us!"
Rexxar nodded: "When necessary, I think the tauren will come to help us!" Prell didn't say anything. In fact, Kane Bloodhoof had promised in private that once the war started, he would send
Five hundred tauren soldiers came to assist Prell, because almost all knowledgeable leaders did not have much confidence in the combat effectiveness of the kobold soldiers.
Even Prell himself is no exception. Although the previous Rolling Rock Canyon was considered the number one force in the Stonetalon Mountains, even the venture capital company had never thought of controlling it. After all, it was a well-known force.
As a small force with a population of 10,000, the shareholders of venture capital companies will also settle accounts. It goes without saying that it is more cost-effective to maintain certain good trade relations with Rolling Rock Canyon or to control this canyon in their own hands.
Therefore, the Kobolds of Rolling Rock Canyon have an indifferent attitude, allowing them to maintain a neutral attitude. But now that the Kingdom of Thresh has been established, they no longer remain neutral. Instead, they have chosen to follow the trend of history and actively form an alliance with the Tauren.
Then future wars are inevitable.
Therefore, Prell has always wanted to build a relatively elite or capable kobold army. He did not understand military training and did not intend to use too much personal fantasy experience to mislead, so he chose to use
Logistics support is provided to help build this army.
At this time, Prell was already standing in the middle of the first trench. On both sides of him, the tauren instructors led the kobold musketeers and some hammer shield soldiers, looking at him eagerly.
In the distance, the centaur army has accelerated its running speed. Tens of thousands of hooves are galloping with an astonishing momentum. The horses' hooves stir up smoke and fly away weeds. The centaur soldiers make strange roars when they charge. To the east, the steel-maned wild boar on the Thorn Ridge
The sharp sound of human horns, all the sounds mixed together, and the enemies approaching in the distance, what they heard and saw seemed to tell all the kobolds: This is war!
More and more kobold soldiers looked at Prell unconsciously under the influence of panic, excitement, fear and other emotions. They wanted their warchief to say something, just like those of other races who mobilized before war and
Like encouragement, I hope Prell can say some heroic words to strengthen his confidence in fighting.
Prell also noticed this atmosphere. He didn't want to talk as long as the wild boar. Looking at the centaur army getting closer and closer, he raised the burning blade, and the holy light injected into it made the long sword "burn".
Rise up like a dazzling torch in the daytime.
The effect of the aura of piety shone on the kobolds near Prell. While he was blessing the nearby soldiers with strength, he shouted loudly: "The Holy Light is with us! The kobolds are fearless!"
"Fearless!" A clever tauren instructor immediately yelled, and the kobold soldiers distributed in the three trenches followed suit and shouted: "Fearless!" The voices gradually gathered into one.
There was a voice.
The centaur army was getting closer and closer. Prell had already seen that the centaur soldiers in the front row had begun to slow down. He drew his horn bow with his backhand and shouted: "Support the shield!"
Before the first round of centaur arrows arrived, countless wooden shields had been raised in the first and second rows of trenches. In order to take care of the tauren instructors, the trenches were dug according to the height of the tauren, so no matter it was
Both the kobold musketeer and the hammer shield soldier must stand on the long bench.
When Prell originally built the kobold garrison, the idea of building the army was "defense". Therefore, beside the musketeers, the hammer shield soldiers raised their wooden shields. Although the number of tauren instructors was not large, they
It is huge, and the wooden shield it uses is like an umbrella to the kobold.
Prell also bent his body and huddled under the shield. The centaur's attack was obviously very purposeful. They fired round after round of shots non-stop in an attempt to completely suppress the kobolds in their area.
In a ridiculous ditch.
However, the Centaur miscalculated after all. When they were still about sixty yards away from the first trench, the Centaur soldiers who did not choose to rush back and forth but were preparing to charge in one go, especially the soldiers in the front row, suddenly staggered.
At least hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground.
This is a small design of Prell's defensive tactics. He ordered the kobold soldiers to dig thousands of small pits in the ground at a distance of 60 to 30 yards in front of the formation, and filled them with weeds.
Covered up, it looks like there's a prairie dog burrow or two here.
The small pit was about thirty centimeters deep and could accommodate the thickness of a Minotaur's leg. For the charging centaurs, such an inconspicuous pit became their nightmare on the battlefield.
The centaur soldiers in the front row suddenly tripped over the pit and fell. The soldiers rushing behind them had no time to stop. The soldiers in the second row or even the third row bumped into the soldiers in the front row, and everyone fell on their backs. The result was that, in the
In panic, more centaur soldiers fell into the pit.
This sudden accident completely interrupted the Centaur's original running rhythm. Prell was already standing on the bench, shouting: "Counterattack!" He conveniently knocked down a man next to him who was frightened by the Centaur's continuous rain of arrows.
