Chapter 211 Morning Vanguard Army, charge!
Because the entire central and northeastern part of Desolace is a vast plain suitable for centaur galloping, it is not easy to find a place to ambush around.
After thinking for a long time, Charlemagne made a series of arrangements. Although he is the commander-in-chief in name, he is a real layman to these army commanders, so when Charlemagne communicated with the two high elf generals, The tone used is relatively gentle, and it is more about discussing with the two.
Fortunately, Liadrin, who had a close relationship with Charlemagne, had always trusted him, and agreed without hesitation after hearing Charlemagne's private arrangement.
Saladley also had a close relationship with Charlemagne in the past six months, and knew that he was not the kind of elf who likes to shoot empty cannons. After listening to his opinion, he felt that it was more reasonable, so the legion leader of the Sunstrider Wing also He nodded in agreement with his plan.
Charlemagne is very satisfied with the attitude of the two of them. Although he has not actually participated in a large-scale war, he was born in the era of information explosion in his previous life.
"Then the plan is preliminarily decided in this way. Sarah Dele, you should make preparations first. You don't need to report when you leave. Liadrin is also going to organize the troops quickly. Don't mess up the first battle in front of the tauren. , we cannot let these future allies underestimate us, Quel'Thalas."
"good!"
Later in the exchange with Kane and other tauren chiefs, he suggested that the tauren still guard the ghost post as usual, and the cover of the fortifications would not allow the centaur to break through the line of defense in a short time.
Kane and others were a little puzzled by Charlemagne's proposal, which was no different from before, but after hearing his arrangement for the high elf troops, they suddenly realized that Magatha gave a rare thumbs up I like Charlemagne's strategy.
At almost ten o'clock in the morning, the centaurs, led by the three khans, blew their simple horns, and tens of thousands of professional centaurs attacked the ghost post in the dust raised by their four hooves.
Rushing to the front are centaur warriors holding stone spears. From their naked bodies, it can be seen that they are much stronger than those remote occupations behind.
Followed by the soldiers were centaur hunters with hyenas. Their simple wooden bows and arrows had already been pulled away during their charge, and the coyotes who followed them also opened their mouths and waited to eat meat at any time grim expression.
The last ones are the higher-status spellcasters of the centaur tribe. These thundercallers who have inherited part of Zaetar's natural power can use thundercloud skills similar to druids, and they can also communicate with a small amount of elements. Use some basic elemental spells, such as lightning bolts and so on.
"The hunters started salvoing after the centaur in the front row came into range. The shaman tried to change the terrain on the way of the centaur's charge. Don't let them rush up at the fastest speed. The warriors are ready to meet the enemy at any time!"
Kane, Hamuul, and Magatha skillfully began to direct the tauren to build a defense line. Although the number was very large this time, the attack mode of the centaur remained unchanged from before.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Because of their strong arms, Tauren hunters can shoot farther than centaurs. Now facing such overwhelming enemies, they don't even need to aim specifically. Basically, shooting arrows will definitely yield something.
At the same time, the shamans began to communicate with the earth and try to change the landscape on a small scale. Some centaurs were unable to dodge and kicked up some of the sudden rising or sinking terrain, which triggered a series of chain reactions. What happens when the horse stumbles?
Now the centaur is actually performing this scene. The centaur who fell in front has no time to get up, and the compatriots behind will be tripped by them immediately, while the centaur further behind will ignore the accident that happened in front, or Step directly over their companions, or bypass them in groups like a river meeting a rock.
Since there are a large number of old Kodo beasts waiting to die in the Kodo cemetery in the south of the ghost post, all kinds of bones and complex terrain are not conducive to the charge of centaurs, so most of the centaurs charged from the gentle **** in front of the post at this time. Come.
The wooden repelling horses arranged by the tauren blocked most of the centaur warriors who charged in the first wave. Only a small number of centaurs poured into the passage deliberately set aside in the middle of the repelling horses. The battle started.
A tauren warrior let out a muffled cry, waved the thick totem pole in his hand and threw it at the centaur who had raised his spear and stabbed at him.
With the strength of the tauren, the centaur couldn't stop their attack at all. The centaur who charged at the front was crushed by the totem pole without any suspense, but he couldn't die for a while and could only lie down. Howling on the ground, his compatriots stepped on his body and continued to attack.
Although the tauren is undoubtedly superior to the centaur in terms of individual combat power, the centaur has an absolute numerical advantage. When he didn't retract his weapon, he stabbed him with a shot.
And at this time, the centaur hunters also entered the attack range, and the rain of arrows flew towards the ghost post, and the thunder callers in the last row also began to cast spells to create a thundercloud above the ghost post. Man hurriedly began to drive the wind element to blow them away.
"Tuk tuk tuk!"
While the spellcasters on both sides started the spell battle, the tauren warriors in the back row with simple wooden shields quickly stepped forward to replace the totem warriors, blocking the wave of arrows.
However, the desperate and frenzied assault of the centaur just now has achieved certain results. The totem warriors who retreated basically had some minor injuries, and they temporarily recovered their physical strength under the emergency treatment of the rear shaman to stop the bleeding.
Charlemagne, Alleria, and Vereesa used their super long range to kill the casters behind the centaur while observing the situation.
"It seems that the tauren can hold on for the time being, but it will be hard to say once the refusal horse is destroyed by the centaur."
While the tauren totem warriors were repairing, the centaur warriors in front of them were desperately destroying the horses placed by the tauren. It is estimated that these wooden fortifications are unlikely to last for too long.
In this large-scale battle of troops, Valeira, a thief, has very little room to play. She can only stand behind with a few chiefs and anxiously watch the situation ahead. Go up and make a few more knives to kill him.
Charlemagne saw Jayne Khan of the Magram tribe step forward a little at this time, and gave him a powerful aiming shot without hesitation.
But to Charlemagne's surprise, the chief didn't have any intention of dodging at all, and the aimed shot hit the air in front of his body, and was blocked by a condensed soil shield that suddenly appeared.
"Tsk... Is the hero advanced? And it will also mobilize the earth element. If the strength of the three chiefs is not much different, it will be a bit difficult to deal with, but..."
Charlemagne observed the position of the centaur's rear, reached out and pulled out a special arrow from the magic bag, and shot it towards the sky.
"Swoosh! Pop!"
As the sounding arrow exploded in the sky, the heavy sound of iron hoofs stepping on the ground came from near the Kodo cemetery behind the ghost post, and the ground seemed to start to tremble slightly.
While the centaurs were looking around because they didn't know, about 500 heavily armed cavalry suddenly rushed out from the back of the mountain where the ghost post was located.
Charlemagne showed an expectant smile on his face, "Heh... Liadrin, it's up to you next."
Liadrin, who was at the forefront of the knights, took the lead in raising her gleaming silver hammer amidst the full gallop of the Quel'dorei horse and shouted a battle cry.
"Morning Vanguard, charge! For the glory of the Quel'dorei!"
I recommended a friend's book "The Arcanist of Azeroth". To be honest, the writing is much better than mine, but the update is a little slower. Friends who are interested in the subject of Warcraft can read it.
