After the orcs captured Stormwind City, they did collect a lot of human souls and condensed a lot of soul fragments. However, they also consumed a lot when they attacked the city. It is very likely that the ultimate goal of this orc army is to capture Prolo.
Menethil Port in Demor does not have enough soul fragments to summon demons to assist in the battle. A single orc army will lose a lot of soldiers facing the high and thick walls of Menethil Port.
But if they have enough soul fragments to summon hellfire or demon guards to land on the city wall, then a large area will be cleared, and the orcs can take the opportunity to climb the city wall.
Even if the orc warlocks just summon imps under the city, the imps' or fireball long-range attacks can also provide a lot of assistance to the orcs. And these tens of thousands of dwarf civilians will definitely allow the orc warlocks to collect enough soul fragments to summon different people.
The young demon has come to help with the siege.
The Yulin Blood Eagle decided to launch a sniper attack on the Orc Wolf Cavalry in this area.
The gryphon knight has already explored this place. Except for these two large areas of hard soil, the surrounding swamps and mire are quite large. There are only a few scattered small mounds of solid soil. They are very small and few, but the mire is quite large.
It is very large, and there are many very deep quagmires that are more than three meters deep.
This is one of the few good sections of the Wetland Avenue. It can provide parking for convoys coming and going. Because it is large enough, it is convenient for Yulin Blood Eagle to deploy its troops and take advantage of its large number. At the same time, both sides of this good section are very dangerous.
, can also prevent the orcs from going around.
Two regiments, a total of 4 troops, were divided into 4 areas and deployed in five-line formations. There was a passage about 50 meters wide between each formation for rapid retreat.
Will Yulin Blood Eagle set up the Five Elements Formation? Of course not! He can only brag, and the so-called Five Elements Town is what he brags about.
Each soldier has a piece of linen cloth representing the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The colors are yellow, green, blue, red, and black. Yulin Blood Eagle asked them to tear these linen cloths into strips and nail them to the ground.
Marks, every two colors are matched together to form a poison needle defense line.
For example, if the defense lines are arranged in a combination of yellow and green, then the green ones have no poisonous needles, and the yellow areas have poisonous needles, because metal overcomes wood. The same goes for blue and red, water overcomes fire, blue does not have poisonous needles, and the red ones do not have poisonous needles. In short, it is based on the five elements of mutual restraint.
principles to deploy numerous lines of defense.
Whether there are poison needles, the cloth strips must be nailed to the ground neatly in rows, so that people can tell whether there are poison needles there at a glance. Do not nail them randomly, they must be neatly nailed to prevent the orcs from destroying the cloth strips after they rush.
Throw it away, and no one else will understand it later.
Each line of defense is not necessarily a straight line. Some may be 7-shaped, S-shaped, or bamboo-shaped. In short, only two complementary colors are allowed.
The principle of the five elements' mutual restraint, Yulin Blood Eagle, had been memorized by every soldier two days ago. Every small strip of cloth nailed to the ground might have poisonous needles buried in the ground within two meters on both sides.
The cloth strips can be nailed directly with poison needles, or they can be nailed to the ground with sharpened branches. There are 4 formations and 4 areas buried at the same time. How to place the troops is different. There are only two regulations that must be observed. One is
The first is that two complementary colors must be matched, and the second is that the cloth strips must be pinned neatly.
In this way, two simple rules were boasted by him and became the Five Elements Formation, which is famous throughout the land of China. The rangers will fight against the orcs and wolf cavalry in the middle of the Five Elements Formation.
The ranger uses long-range attacks, and can hit the orcs even if there are several lines of defense. The orcs use melee attacks, and if you want to hit someone, you have to rush into the formation. There are so many poisonous needles on the ground, Sitting Wolf's right paw can't stand it, and besides, it's still
With poison, it's not too difficult to bring down the wargs.
Although the orcs have plates for their chests, the soles of their feet are made of leather, so they cannot withstand the punctures of poisonous needles. Even sitting down is impossible. The porous structure of the chainmail armor is destined to prevent it from being punctured by poisonous needles.
.
Everything was ready, and Yulin Blood Eagle checked it several times. In the gourd field where the formation was set up, the small gourd belly had a formation, and the big gourd belly had three formations, and basically there were no problems. Looking around, the five colors
The cloth strips are spread on the ground, like a green lawn full of colorful flowers, which is quite beautiful.
The gryphon knights are all back. They are all resting about a mile behind. When the battle starts, all 100 of them will take to the air, mainly using bows and arrows to deal with the warlocks and shamans.
The orc wolf cavalry's net is aimed at land targets. Against air targets, they can't throw it very high even with all their strength. As long as the gryphon knights don't fly too low, there won't be any problem. The rescue knights only need to bring
Just use a small amount of aerial bombs, and mainly rely on bows and arrows to deal with the first target Warlock and the second target Shaman.
More than 20 minutes later, more than 100 Orc Wolf Cavalry forward troops vaguely appeared in front of them. How could the Yulin Blood Eagle be polite to them? The ranger pressed forward, and the aerial gryphon knights took off, first with a bomb, and then one after another.
Roll call is dedicated to meditating wolves.
The orc vanguard was so frightened that he left a dozen of them and hurriedly ran back. The dozen orcs who were poisoned by sitting wolves and could not escape naturally became the target of a group beating, and they were all beaten to death soon. The elves quickly retreated back.
In the Five Elements Formation, of course, the wargs will not stay, they will be directly killed and thrown on the roadside. We cannot pity these wargs at this time.
After a while, the orc wolf cavalry force arrived, and they stopped 200 meters away from the elven army. Looking at the elven archers who had lined up neatly, the orcs seemed to have seen some new continent! When did the elven rangers dare to line up neatly to stop the orcs?
Cavalry?
Although the orcs were surprised, they did not dare to rush over recklessly. Because since the elves appeared, they have been in constant trouble and their marching speed has become much slower.
However, the previous method of breaking through the minefield with a small force quickly attacked was no longer feasible. The elves simply used fishing nets to cover the mines above, and then used wooden rods to anchor the fishing nets, leaving them helpless and unable to enter the swamp.
Take a detour.
Entering the swamp, the speed of travel will definitely slow down, and it will become a target for the gryphon knights to practice air-dropping bombs. Although not many people died, it still made them embarrassed. 15 shamans were busy helping the injured soldiers.
He was as tired as a dead dog with its tongue hanging out.
Later, those gryphon knights gradually became lazy, and the mine formations they arranged only had a small number of fishing nets, and more were ropes that were tightened one by one and were only as high as the knees, plus mine formations. But even so, they were still difficult to break.
The dwarf's mines don't explode only when you step on them. They are detonated by induction. As long as a creature approaches a certain range, it will explode. It has the weakness of delayed explosion, but with the rope blocking it, the beasts can no longer do it.
Use a quick sprint to break it.
Because if the sitting wolf falls down and the orcs roll onto the mines or get too close to the mines, people will die. Even if you have plate armor and chest protection, it will be useless, so they still have to walk through the swamp.
