The tug-of-war between the tauren and centaurs has been going on at the pass of the Stonetalon Mountains for nearly a month. The tauren relied on simple wooden fence walls to stubbornly repel the centaur attacks again and again.
The barren land in the dry season is extremely hot, and the green grass that originally grew after being moistened by the short rainy season has once again become withered and yellow, swaying feebly in the hot wind.
Prell was lying in a patch of grass at this time. A frightened wilderness lizard glanced at him and hurriedly slipped away. Behind him, Belga, Snu and Lestalen were wearing large robes.
His pointed round straw hat was also hidden in the dead grass.
Half a month ago, the well-prepared Kokar centaurs frantically launched round after round of charges against the Tauren's positions. They had far more abundant troops than the Tauren, trying to rush through the Tauren's path.
Wooden Palisade, charging into the Stonetalon Mountains and massacring them.
For this reason, the Tauren paid a heavy price, with heavy casualties. Of course, the wounded accounted for a large proportion. The Tauren are a race of rough-skinned, thick-bodied people with strong vitality, but they lacked armor. Facing the mobile and flexible Centaurs,
As an archer, I still suffered a lot.
The tauren warriors and shooters of the 172nd Squadron were all transferred to the 4th Squadron to assist in the defense. Soon after, Prell and his team were also sent to the front line.
The tauren's defenses consisted of a long wooden fence built along the pass of the Stonetalon Mountains, with gaps intermittently distributed in it to create positions for counterattacks.
The tauren can be said to be the best heavy infantry in the world of Azeroth, but when encountering the centaurs, the best cavalry in the world of Azeroth, it is obvious that they cannot take much advantage in field battles, so Elias.
Hardhoof planned to hold on from the start.
The main task of the tauren in Apalaye camp is to defend rather than attack. The Sunstone dwellers in the rear have to deal with the furious harpies of the Bloodrage clan on the one hand, and at the same time, they also have to guard against the centaurs of other clans who rush in from the Charred Valley.
, it is no longer possible to provide any support to the Apalaye camp.
In other words, for Elias, his first priority was to ensure that the Kokar Centaur could not break into the valley, so the strategy he chose was not to passively defend.
Standing behind the wooden fence, Prell suddenly felt very depressed, because this wall fortification was built according to the height of the tauren. Although the pandaren Chen Stormstout was two heads shorter than the ordinary tauren, at least it could not block the line of sight.
, Prell and the three kobolds were in dire straits.
Lestalen can also fly. The three kobolds have to step on stacked wooden boxes or rocks to barely poke their heads out of the wooden wall. In this way, it is difficult for them to provide much for the nearby tauren comrades in the battle.
of help.
So the squadron leader of the 4th Squadron had to arrange Prell and others near the gap in the wooden wall, but the situation here was no different from other directions. The Centaurs went crazy and launched an all-out attack line. They tried to use this
This way makes it impossible for the tauren to determine their main attack point.
Then he continued to involve himself, investing more troops in local areas, in an attempt to draw troops from other parts of the Minotaur defense line and weaken it. As an experienced commander, Elias's response was also very simple. Each squadron defended its own team.
line of defense, and then deploy reserves to reinforce the line of defense facing too many enemies.
So Prell once again found in frustration that he could not find any more attack targets. Except for the Hammer of Punishment once every 5 minutes, his attack range was too short. The centaurs who rushed outside the wooden wall were greeted first by
The Tauren Archers' close-range shots and the spellcasters' spell attacks, and then the Tauren's spears and axes.
Prell is short in stature, so it is difficult to miss a kill in such a situation. His only role is to provide a halo for other teammates on the same team.
After half a month of crazy attacks, the Centaur, who had not made any breakthrough, finally got tired, and the intensity of the battle suddenly dropped.
At the military meeting, Prior made a suggestion: to scout and burn the Centaur's forage, and he volunteered to lead the team there.
After careful consideration, Elias agreed to Prell's proposal. Although the tauren had prepared food after hunting throughout the short rainy season, the Stonetalon Mountains were incompatible with the grasslands of the Barrens.
It is easier for centaurs to obtain food sources than centaurs.
Since the war, the most tiring thing among both camps is the small number of raptor druids of the tauren. They have to go out for reconnaissance every day and constantly pass back reliable news and intelligence. Two raptor druids have already lost their magic power.
If the consumption is overdrawn, it will not be able to transform and take off again in a short period of time.
After another five days or so, after realizing that the centaurs would slow down the pace of the battle, Elias finally sent Prell, promising that he could choose anyone he wanted.
But Prell only brought his kobold brothers and Lestalen, who was clamoring to follow. The four of them were short and easy to hide. Prell's plan was to first use the high-altitude raptor druids.
The reconnaissance intelligence revealed the specific situation in the Sweetwater Oasis area.
And he once again made suggestions, hoping that the Raptor Druids would not relax their reconnaissance of the Agamagog area. Once the Centaur guerrilla forces there join the large forces in the Sweetwater Oasis, it will be tantamount to the Centaur increasing their strength again.
Then he led his team and quietly crossed the mountain range from the north of the mountain pass at night, heading towards the Wushui Ridge. From the mountain pass to the south, it was completely occupied by the Kokar Centaur, so Prell could only go around.
Walk the road.
Staying day and night along the way, Prell and others once again crossed the Glory Post. This post, which was destroyed by the centaurs, was actually stationed with a squadron of centaurs.
At this time, Prell's target was placed under a large low tree in the distance. The centaurs and even the prairie lions were driven away by the centaurs who swept in like locusts, so this tree would rest in the past.
The big tree of the prairie lion group has a small outpost guarded by a small team of centaurs.
Prell was the target discovered in the afternoon. They were three centaur messengers. Although they were too far away, Prell's "eye of observation" could not see much information, but the leader of these three centaurs was
One of them was carrying a large flag with a red coat of arms whose specific meaning was unknown.
They came from the northwest, so Prell guessed that these three were messengers, so they followed them all the way. It was almost dusk at this time, and the three messengers rested after arriving at the outpost to see that they were not panicking.
The non-busy posture obviously conveyed no urgent military information.
Prell straightened his straw hat and wiped the sweat from his cheeks. The straw hat was made by the pandaren. Chen Stormstout's craftsmanship was very good. The straw hat was green and green, but it was burned by the scorching sun in the Barrens.
It took a long time to become withered and yellow, but it was more suitable for Prell and others to hide.
The outpost under the big tree is extremely simple. It is just an open leather tent unique to Centaur. It is probably because the centaur leatherworker is not good at it. The leather of the tent is extremely rough and has not been cut at all. It seems to be made of intact coyotes and prairie lions.
Made of leather.
Outside this huge and simple tent, there are more than ten wooden boxes stacked. Judging from the structure of the wooden boxes, the style is completely different from the centaur's barbaric and rough style.
Prell spat fiercely: "What a bastard goblin!" The appearance of this wooden box was too familiar to him. When the Gale Mine Kapellan provided Gazruin with various supplies, it was made of this green color.
Shipped in painted boxes.
He felt that the goblins were obsessed with the color green to the point of aesthetic morbidity. Needless to say, it was definitely the venture capital company, or the black-hearted businessman Gresu, who provided a large amount of materials to the centaurs to fund their war.
Belga felt very tortured because he had been lying in the grass for two hours. Countless ants crawled under his nose, and even non-venomous grass snakes passed by.
Unlike Snoo, who was always silent and calm, Belga had an active temper, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Prell around. He looked back and saw Snoo lying motionless in the grass.
The little harpy Lestalen next to her tightly folded her wings and worked hard to huddle up under her straw hat.
Belga couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Prell, how long do we have to wait?" Preel said: "Wait until the three messengers leave, wait until night, and we will kill the centaurs in this team!"
Belga stopped asking questions. As long as the purpose was determined, he was willing to continue suffering. Although he didn't know the blessing effect of Prell's "Great Lord System" on the team members, he could still feel that together with Prell
Fighting, his understanding of nature becomes faster.
He attributed all this in a way that he could understand to the fact that Prell awakened the hidden bloodline of the "King of Candles", and then inspired himself and Snu, who were also "Kings of Candles". As for Lestalen
, the kobolds believe that the King of Candles is the God of Creation who created this world, and the harpies are obviously also the creations of the King of Candles, so it is perfectly normal to be able to enjoy bloodline stimulation.
In fact, Prell also felt very tortured. It was too uncomfortable to lie down in the grass. The harassment of various mosquitoes and the hot weather made the clothes on his back wet and dry, and dry and wet again. The only good thing was,
He did not put on the dwarf armor in a showy manner, but put it in his backpack.
After resting for a while, the three centaur messengers set off on their journey again. Player looked at the sky and decided to wait patiently.
According to the reconnaissance information of the raptor druids, the entire Sweetwater Oasis is covered with centaur tents. It seems that the centaurs from the entire backwater oasis have migrated here. If you want to find the place where the centaurs store their food and grass, it is obviously impossible to break into it.
To the oasis.
Therefore, Prell decided to search for and sneak attack these small centaur outposts along the way, thereby diverting the centaur forces in the oasis and looking for opportunities to sneak in.
As for why the raptor druids did not search for and burn the food stored by the centaurs by flying, the reason is actually too simple: when the tauren druids transform, they cannot be as perfect as the night elves.
Cover up the corners of your forehead.
The flying form of the raptor druids is an owl or a falcon. A pair of huge double-horned falcons appear in the sky above the oasis. It is difficult for the centaurs who are good at shooting not to attract attention!
