864.I'm waiting for support, what are you waiting for? (Page 1/2)
The first conflict in the Foul Swamp was over in four hours.
Although the intensity of this battle was high, the scale was actually not large. More than a thousand people were dispatched on the Jackal side, and almost the same number including reinforcements on the Transian side. Although the result of the battle was that the Transian side won, but This is not enough to affect the Jackal's official advance in the south..
However, this conflict also proved that Hugersen's attempt to open a passage underground failed completely. After learning that the kobolds were digging around underground, the Transian soldiers who were already familiar with tunnel combat led the players around. When attacking, the tunnels dug by the kobolds will be dug out by them through earthworks, and then they will blow up the place and leave some booby traps or exploding rune stones as gifts..
In the following days, such secret confrontations became more frequent, and the Earth Priests of the Silver Dwarves who boldly adopted the players' suggestions also participated in such actions..
Earth travel, which was originally just used to move quickly and carry things, has now become an "art of assassination"”.
Priests who become fierce because of the angry will of the Mother Goddess of the Earth often carry large amounts of explosives, jump into the target area with precise earth skills, silently deploy the explosives, and then escape before the explosion..
Or he could scatter a large bag of vicious butterfly mines in an area that the jackals thought was safe, and then hide nearby and watch those bastards scream in the explosion with a cheerful sneer..
This kind of "Tu Xing Sun"-style bad explosion without warning made the jackals even more suspicious. There were also sharpshooters and sharpshooters who were scattered by Master Qin in large numbers and were hunting with cold guns in the swamp area..
Especially those gnoll hunters who are far away from the base camp. Although they are blessed by the Lord of Hunting, they have to face dangerous swamp creatures and always be on guard against explosive bombs appearing from under their feet or arrows in the dark, and they quickly become tired. and become neurotic.
The jackals are still pushing forward in the swamp, but the deeper they go, the more they can feel that the death net surrounding them is tightening bit by bit..
Compared with the failure of frontal confrontation, the barbarians are obviously more resistant to the current sudden death of people without seeing them.，
But this is exactly what the command wants to see happen.
This swamp may not be able to stop the gnolls, but it will definitely leave a terrible psychological shadow on the gnolls, thereby weakening their fighting will when they reach the Maginot Line of Defense. At the same time, they will use all means to cause more damage to the enemy in order to This overwhelms their logistics, which are already on the verge of collapse..
This is not just a pressure tactic in asymmetric warfare, it is itself part of the "total war" constructed by the staff.
The attack on the Gnolls' food tunnels at Fort Courage continues. Once the Gnolls are trapped in the filthy swamp, the tunnels in the barren mountain area can be reactivated. By then, the distance between the Maginot Line and Fort Courage is The vast area will become a battlefield where the Transians can launch battles..
The decisive battle between the two sides will indeed take place on the Maginot Line, but the scope of the decisive battle is definitely not limited to that line of defense.！
When the time is right, the warriors of Transia will ignite all the places they have fought in again, turning them into fires of war flying in the sky, completely crushing the wolf man's black disaster ambition, and leaving this problem that has plagued the continent for many years. A century-old "natural phenomenon" has completely become a swan song.
However, for Lao Qin and his young staff in Wolfsburg, special operations in this dangerous swamp are more like "checking for leaks and filling vacancies" and "tactical upgrades"”.
The evaluation of the results of tunnel warfare in the barren mountain area is not good. Facts have proved that copying mechanical combat examples cannot conquer the world..
At present, the command headquarters has re-formulated a new action model based on various previous mistakes. They have also included psychic factors into combat considerations, and have begun to use ground magic and teleportation tactics more frequently for flexible dispatch..
The most intuitive manifestation of this change in combat thinking is the sudden increase in pressure on the Jackals..
In the perception of the Chosen One Hugersen and the governors under his command, the Transians seemed to have truly turned into ghosts in this swamp. They attacked everywhere without any trace, even to the point of being unscrupulous..
In the past few days, he has lost more than 3,000 vanguards. The intensity is more than one level higher than the tunnel battle in Barren Mountain. As for the casualties of the kobolds, no one cares about the kobolds at this time..
This is provocation！
Hugersen knew that the Transians were using this method to force them to send more soldiers to carry out sweeps and cleanups around the road ahead..
But it's also a trap！
If you send too many people, it will slow down your progress. If you send too few people, it will only give the opponent a chance to defeat them one by one..
Despite the blessing of the Lord of Hunting, once his warriors disperse in the swamp, they will still be targeted by the hiding Transians. This has happened more than once in the past few days..
What's even worse is that the morale of the pioneers has been severely hit..
This damn swamp has been turned into a weapon by the enemy. The terrain that was originally thought to be the most suitable for the gnolls has turned into a rope to strangle them. In this swamp, the danger not only comes from the enemies in front of you, but even from under your own feet. A leaf will take every opportunity to kill a gnoll that comes near it
Anyone in this situation would become agitated and uneasy, and Gnolls are no exception..
Can't go on any longer！
You must end your soldiers' miserable journey in the swamp as soon as possible, otherwise your own morale will soon be completely worn away by the harsh and dangerous environment..
The god of jackals does not care who bleeds, but as the commander Xu Gesen cannot care less.
“Keep pushing! Ignore their harassment.”
Xu Gesen quickly made a decision. Enemy harassment was certainly a problem, but Xu Gesen knew that he had one last card to play, and it would soon have enough manpower available..
“Where are the members of the Splitclaw clan now?？”
In the forward camp in the Filthy Swamp, Hugersen called a hunting priest and asked, and the latter immediately responded:：
“Your people are passing through the Black Flame Pass. They will be able to approach the Dark Valley tonight, where they will collect supplies and weapons, and then come here to join your conquest..”
“Send someone to tell them to speed up.”
Xu Gesen ordered：
“Leave the old and weak women and children in Shadow Valley, and the remaining males must arrive here within three days to prepare the hunters who have received the blessing. After the Splitclaw clan members arrive, each hunter will lead twenty people as Patrol team, I will hand over all the tasks of sweeping, patrolling and forward advancement to these militiamen..
My soldiers just need to recharge their batteries and wait for the decisive battle..”
“grown ups! This will cause heavy losses to your people！”
The hunting priest was startled and exclaimed：
“Elite warriors cannot yet cope with the complex environment of the filthy swamp. Although your people are brave, they are all inexperienced reserve troops. Just those man-eating plants and scattered explosives are enough to kill them..”
“Aren't there still kobolds?？”
Xu Gesen said calmly：
“Each patrol is equipped with fifty additional kobolds. In this way, my people can avoid at least a few disasters before the kobolds are exhausted..
We must adapt to this swamp as soon as possible！
This is not just a command.
You may not know this, but gnolls were actually born here. Compared to the Dark Mountains, this swamp is our real hometown. How can we be afraid of our hometown where we have claws?”
The Chosen One sighed and glanced at the confused Hunting Priest. Judging from the latter's expression, Xu Gesen guessed that this guy might think he had gone crazy..
But it was too lazy to explain this and just waved its paw to let it convey the order..
On the other side, in Wolfsburg.
