Chapter 257 Ashenvale Offense and Defense (1)
Chapter 257 Ashes Valley Offensive and Defense (Part 1)
More than a week has passed since the Panda Wine Fairy and the dwarf adventurer "forced demolition" of Lao Tang's tavern. The latest chapter of the temple
In the end, Lao Tang did not let the two hero-level experts pay financial compensation for the tavern. After all, they are two masters worth making friends and Lao Tang prefers. In order to make a small amount of money, they even make the relationship awkwardly stumble. Lao Tang would not do such a brainless thing.
In contrast, if you can establish a friendship with three hero-level masters with a few thousand gold coins worth a tavern, and leave a good impression between them, it is really cost-effective to trade with a pen! If this happens, Lao Tang really doesn't mind smashing a few more taverns...especially at this critical moment when the Battle of Haishan is about to begin.
However, even though Lao Tang's "generous" behavior greatly increased the favorability of several "perpetrators", Panda Wine Fairy Storm Storm, who recovered from the hangover, dwarf archaeologist Brian Bronzebeard, and even Beast King Lexa, Lao Tang was still a little guilty. When he learned about the invasion of the Burning Legion of the Kalimdo continent and the upcoming Battle of Sea and Mountains, the few people decided to join the war without saying a word and contribute their strength to the creatures in this world!
The beast king Lexa returned to Durotal with Hellscream to meet the great chief of the new tribe, Thrall. After all, as a member of the tribe, he was now able to see the tribe's desire again and again, which is also a comforting thing for Lexa who left his hometown, not to mention that there are many brothers and old comrades who once fought side by side with him. It is worth mentioning that Thrall finally renamed the nameless red wasteland after landing in Kalimdor as his father's name;
The dwarf explorer Brian*'s bronze beard, who originally planned to survey some suspected ancient ruins in Mogao Lei, has now lost the intention of archaeology. Without saying a word, he went to take care of his compatriots who followed Jaina to land in Kalimdo;
As for Panda Wine Fairy Storm Rich Wine* Chen felt guilty about the destruction of the tavern, and was quite fond of the peaceful and hospitality Taurus clan, so he took the initiative to stay and help Mr. Gundru train his fighting skills with the soldiers of the Dragon Wheeling Army. The big pie that fell from the sky made Lao Tang laugh.
There is no doubt that if Azeroth has the highest martial arts and fighting skills, it must be the Panda monks who have practiced martial arts since childhood! As an advanced profession of monks, the heroic Panda Wine Fairy is definitely a master of martial arts! Even if Hellscream is more exquisite in moves, the content of fighting skills will probably be slightly inferior!
He can get the sincere guidance of Lao Chen, have a burly body and strong strength of the Taurus, and has the ability to absorb the fighting skills of the Panda people. Even if it is only a part of the soldiers of the Legion, their strength and combat effectiveness are expected to improve again! The final profit is undoubtedly the entire Shuharu clan! How can this not let Lao Tang enjoy it secretly?
However, Lao Tang suspected that the reason why the Panda Wine Fairy was willing to stay was because Lao Tang promised to provide Lao Chen with a sufficient amount of various fine wines for free every day...
In any case, being able to obtain three strong aids again before the Battle of Haishan and strengthening high-end force is good news for the entire coalition.
But blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come in one single way.
While the coalition forces had good news, a lot of bad news also appeared.
For example, another mixed army of demons and undead appeared in the Feywood Forest, and the entire forest began to be corroded in patches for unknown reasons... For example, the demon troops in Ashes Valley experienced large-scale abnormal movements, and the entire line of attacks on the coalition's station and sentry posts in Ashes Valley...
———————————————
The quiet and deep Ashes Valley in the past has already been around for most of the areas. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
The Burning Legion's troops landed in Kalimdo in various ways is increasing, demons, undead... The strange "killing machine" is no longer the lineup of two or three kittens in the first vanguard. Azshara, Ashes Valley, and Ferwood Forest are the key areas of the recent Burning Legion's attack, especially the Ash Valley demons that lost the commander's suppression.
The demons and undead who lost Manolos' suppression had completely fallen into madness or regained their nature. The Asch Valley troops of the Burning Legion, who were killed or killed, acted unscrupulously, launched a full-line attack on the coalition's defense line almost rampant.
Under the strong pressure of the demons and the undead, both the night elves with deep background and the tough and brave orcs had to withdraw those frontier posts with weak power and concentrate their forces to guard against being defeated by the Burning Legion who played crazy by playing cards.
Under the premise that the coalition forces narrowed their defense lines and focused on defending each other, the Astragalus, which originally symbolized peace, has now fallen most of the time. Except for the night elves in the city of Astrana, the important town of Astragalus, and the Battle Song Canyon camp where the orcs stationed, there is no other resistance forces or garrison bases to support each other.
At this moment, in the command center of Astrana, Lao Tang, Galade Shadow Song, Duke Leorick and King Sarufal were frowning at the conference table, thinking hard.
"What is the Burning Legion trying to do?" Duke Leorick, commander of the Seventh Legion, rubbed his temples that were painful because of overwork, stared at the black arrow representing the demons on the map, and said to himself without locking: "East sword, west sword, there is not even a key attack area! What kind of tactics is this? It's messy and has no rules!"
"This is the devil, a trick!" After patting the paladin's shoulder, King Sarufal was humorous for a rare moment, and showed a teasing smile and said, "If even the demons representing chaos and evil can be in order, then they will see the undead!"
Although King Sarufal has countless titles of hatred and hatred in the human kingdom, such as "butcher, executioner, full of evil" in the human kingdom, after the establishment of the coalition forces, King Sarufal and Duke Leorick, two long-time generals who had been fighting on the battlefield for half their lives, put aside the hatred between races and appreciated each other. When discussing tactical strategies together, the atmosphere was greatly eased, and no longer tit-for-tat.
"But it is not surprising that the devil's chaotic offensive is not surprising. In fact, I think these devils are not strange in tactics, but have no tactics at all!" However, when talking about the serious matter, King Sarufal also looked solemn and talked about his analysis:
"The Abyss Lord Manolos was originally the commander of this group of demon army, but this demon leader is now scattered and naturally cannot continue to command his troops."
"Without the suppression of Manolos, the powerful demon leader, the chaotic and bloodthirsty nature of the demon will naturally be revealed. The Burning Legion's offensive in the chaos and disorder of the entire Ashes Valley should not have any conspiracy. At least before Archmond reassigns a sufficiently powerful demon commander, as long as we firmly guard the two strongholds of Astrana and Warsong Canyon, the demon army in Ashes Valley will not be worrying!"
King Sarufar made his analysis confident and pointed to the origin. (") Looking around, the three old Tangs and the other two who nodded in agreement, Sarufar directly gave out the news and said what they thought:
"The question now is whether we should strictly guard against and delay time according to the previous plan. Or do we just do our best to take advantage of the chaos and no favorable opportunity for command to give these scumbags a ruthless force and mobilize all our strength to eat up all this part of the demons and the undead!"
King Sarufar's words made the other three people in the command post change their expressions slightly, and they are different. Orcs are born to advocate offense, and this strategy of defending and offense is in line with the tribe's always believed in the routine of "offense is the best defense."
Hearing King Sarufar's opinion, Old Tang raised his eyebrows and nodded in favor.
Old Tang is also a tough guy at heart. He prefers to take the initiative in the battle situation, and he is undoubtedly more inclined to take the initiative than passive defense! The initiative in war is always in the hands of the attacking side!
What's more, as King Sarufar said, the demons and undead who lost the commander of Manolos were just a mess of sand. Even though the Burning Legion had huge strength, but did not command effectively, these demons who attacked everywhere based on their preferences and killing nature were not worried at all!
Even if the individual combat power of the demon is strong, he is just a group of chaotic scattered soldiers... The "miscellaneous army" who only knows that they are brave but have no organizational discipline has absolutely no chance of winning against the elite coalition forces under unified command. And the undead troops that bring the Burning Legion's absolute number advantage, now Old Tang doesn't take it seriously at all. Don't forget that the Tauren has always been an expert in group battles!
When facing the Undead Sea tactics, are there anyone who has more experience and chances of winning, such as Shuharu today?
"I think it's OK, I support Varoke's proposal!" Lao Tang expressed his first words to agree with King Sarufal's plan. "This vacuum period under the command of the demon army of Ashes Valley is a rare opportunity for us, and we must seize it! We must take the opportunity to damage the Burning Legion of Ashes Valley as much as possible to take the initiative again!"
"Would you be too aggressive? Sarupin? Mount Haigal is the place where we fight the Burning Legion... If there are too many casualties due to the extermination of these demons, it may be unfavorable to the final battle!"
Duke Leorick pondered and expressed his opinion with some hesitation.
Orcs are good at attacking, and humans are good at defending!
As a veteran paladin, although Duke Leorick never lacks the courage to face strong enemies and fight tenaciously, he is serious and rigid, but he tends to lead troops in a steady manner rather than surprise attacks. Although King Salfar's proposal is reasonable and has a high success rate, the Paladin Marshal, who has always been stable in military use, is still not optimistic and always has some concerns.
"We must fight this battle!"
Galod Yingge, the highest commander of the coalition forces who had been silent and stared at the combat map, finally spoke firmly after Lao Tang and the other three expressed their opinions.
As early as the first alliance, Garod Yingge, who was elected as the supreme commander, prepared to establish a supreme commander, and invited three generals with high status and rich command experience to serve as deputy commanders from the major races of the coalition forces to discuss various tactics of the Battle of the Sea and Mountains together, allocate elite troops of various races to complement each other's advantages, and deduce the battle situation with a few people.
Old Tang, King Sarufar, and Duke Leorick are these three deputy commanders.
This is also the main reason why these four people gather in Astrana now...
"This is the best opportunity and the only opportunity to weaken the strength of the Burning Legion before the final battle. We must not miss it!" With a determined look on our face, Garod Shadow Song glanced at the three of them and said in an unquestionable tone: "We have to fight this battle, and we must win beautiful things!"
"First to boost the morale of the coalition forces and increase the confidence of the soldiers to win!"
"Secondly, weaken the strength of the Burning Legion, annihilate the real forces of the demons and the undead, and reduce the pressure we have to face in the Battle of the Sea and Mountains. Otherwise, once the decisive battle is due to the power reunification of the Burning Legion under the pressure of Archmond, our casualties will be unbearable!"
"The third... buy time for the final completion of the three defense lines under construction in the Holy Mountain of Haigar!"
Galaud* Yingge, who was dressed in military uniform, slowly raised three fingers, listing the reasons for taking the initiative to attack.
"The Burning Legion will not give us a chance to repair, they will come soon. Our strategic depth is not enough, the guerrilla fighting style cannot delay them much time, and simple defense will lose the initiative. Treating the Burning Legion who desperately wants to advance and resist Mount Haigar, it is not enough to slow down their pace by just this. We must rely on the geographical environment to block them for a period of time before retreating, and give our compatriots who are building defense lines enough time."
After a detailed analysis of the situation between the enemy and us was explained, even Duke Leorek, who had been hesitant before, no longer agreed and supported the initiative strategy. However, Garod Shadow Ge, who had a serious face, suddenly showed a smile and blinked at everyone.
"As for the fourth..." Garod Shadow Song, who raised a finger again, jokingly; "Since the Burning Legion took the initiative to give us such a big cake, we must eat it! Anyway, there is no danger of destroying the teeth and eating the stomach. If we don't eat these demon army raging ashes, wouldn't we give Archmond face? If we say that, he is also a super expert who has not known how many planes have been destroyed, we have to give this face~~~"
The originally solemn atmosphere in the command post was relaxed, and both humans, orcs and taurens all showed knowing smiles. The coalition's first active counterattack and the plan to eat away at the enemy's army in the Gray Valley was decided.
As for the next good show, it has slowly opened and will be staged soon!
—————————————————
Two days after the combat meeting.
On the south bank of the Feren River, Lao Tang, who acted as a "bait", and a group of tauren warriors held their weapons tightly, and faced with a firm face to face to welcome the next death battle.
The strategy of attacking the Ashes Valley part of the Burning Legion is running at full speed.
After the meeting, several commanders, including Lao Tang, had led their troops to take on the task. The task that Lao Tang and the Taurus warriors actively applied for was to serve as "bait" to attract the siege of the Burning Legion and create murderous intent for other encirclement and suppression troops!
On the north bank of the Feren River, the violent flames seemed so terrifying in the night that you could see large clouds of thick smoke rising rapidly, shaking the shape of fangs and claws.
As the fire expanded, the dense forest was red, yellow and green. The terrifying fire snake and the choking smoke rolled up and down, ups and downs. During the burning process, the strong wind was constantly blown into waves of fire rings, and the Shuharu warriors who were waiting for the battle were smoked from the front!
A large number of demons of the Burning Legion were roaring and rushing towards the north bank of the Fallen River, rushing arrogantly and arrogantly towards the Tauren warriors in the valley of the south bank to meet the enemy. The darkness was like a vast wave formed by countless waves, giving people a powerful deterrence and huge pressure to fear the state of mind, allowing people to see the terror and fierceness of the Burning Legion again.
The hellfire like a meteorite falling from the sky, and the huge body as big as a hill and the red and green demon flames that evaporate around them made people feel fear and powerless from the bottom of their hearts. Every step they take is left with a burning deep pit on the ground, and arrogance arrogantly charged against the Tauren army that lined up to meet the enemy.
During the impact, various kinds of demons intertwined, and were like thousands of beasts with fangs showing their fangs swept and rolling towards each other. During the impact, the demons kept making strange and harsh screams and roars, turning into countless strange syllables, rushing in all directions, even rushing straight into the sky, resounding throughout the battlefield!
The walking corpse covered with undead natural disasters behind the demon legion could see almost any resistance, fearing to the point of despair!
However, there will never be soldiers of the Dragon Wrestling Legion on the list of Desperate!
After repeated replenishment, the demon army of Ashes Valley has nearly 60,000 to 70,000 demon elites, and the walking corpses all over the mountains are even more unknown, and at least tens of thousands of them are huge. Because of the "bait", Lao Tang only commanded more than 10,000 tauren defensive warriors. Under the leadership of Lao Tang, he was fully armed and once again put on a tight, almost impeccable iron wall, facing the terrifying army that was dozens of times more than them, and the almost crazy death-breaking impact.
The comparison of troops between the two sides is vastly different. The soldiers of Lao Tang and Long Gorge will be surrounded...
But, so what?
On the battlefield, the Shuharu Warriors were born surrounded!
The first wave of the Burning Legion's charge troops were approaching, and a vast and distant trumpet sounded first. Immediately, a dull and passionate sound of drums echoed, causing the Taurens and Warriors to boil blood and fight with a wave of fighting!
Looking at the approaching army of demons and undead, Old Tang, who was standing in the front row, raised the "Titan Power" war hammer with all his strength, and used all his strength to let out a deafening battle roar that resounded throughout the battlefield:
"Strength and glory!"
"Blood and thunder!"
A louder response roared out of the Legion Warriors' Gate and soared into the sky.
The next second, the battle begins!
