Chapter 231 Ineffective Guerrilla Warfare
After several days of marching, Caledor's army was finally about to arrive in the city of Kislev, but things were indeed developing in the worst direction, and Kislev was already surrounded.
"How's it going? Have you figured out the number of enemies?" Imrik, who was standing on the hill, asked Minas Nir who returned. Since Kislev was discovered to be under siege, the number covering the horizon has directly led to He was unable to take any further action. It was roughly estimated that there were at least more than 100,000 people. Unless he brought all Caledor's troops to the old world before the Battle of Fenouir Plains, it would be impossible to rescue this number alone.
"It's hard to say. A large number of Chaos Dwarf artillery have gathered together. Even I can't conduct reconnaissance for a long time. But it can be roughly estimated that there are at least 150,000 people, most of whom are Kurgans, and an unknown number of dragon demons and war mammoths. , there are also a lot of giants, and this war will not be easier than the Fennuvar Plain." Minas Nir folded his wings and stood behind Imric. This number of Chaos troops has reached the level of the Chaos Invasion. .
This news made Imric feel even more heavy. If Caledor was at his peak, hundreds of high-level dragon princes with dragon companions could easily solve it, but now this situation is really nerve-wracking.
Let's fight guerrilla first, and we can still barely attract some attention with our mobility.
.........
The main tent of the Chaos Alliance was filled with flags and war drums made of human skin. All kinds of blasphemous objects that would drive an ordinary person crazy just by looking at them were placed around. The octagonal symbol symbolizing the unification of Chaos was everywhere. visible.
"Eternal Chosen, an interesting army has arrived near here, which may interfere with your next actions." The big blue bird wearing a white robe opened its closed eyes, and its tentacle staff also opened. After opening his eyes, he kept squirming, a ever-changing demon king walking in the mortal world.
On the Iron Throne with the octagonal symbol of Chaos, Isava Kuhl sat on it, the blessings of the Chaos Gods flashed in his eyes, and his tall body looked unusually burly even compared to the Kurgans.
After hearing this, Esawa raised his chin with his strong arms and said thoughtfully, "I don't think anyone can stop this unprecedented army of gods. Maybe those elves can eliminate some weak ones, but in the eternal gods Before the choice, you must still surrender."
"Or, Eternal Watch, you still plan to use those clumsy strategies to satisfy the Lord of Change?" "
My Lord likes change, so he intends to make this world more interesting." The Great Demon of Tzeentch, Thasorel Eternal Watch, did not behave strangely when his scheme was revealed, because he knew that this bellicose Eternal Chosen would definitely send people to encircle and suppress the elven army.
"The Chaos Gods make this world more meaningful, giving only power to the strong and leaving death to the weak." Kuval raised his arms high, prayed to the gods, and then said, "The Lord of
Changes Wisdom will lead the Kurgan to conquer the world. Since it is only a vision, I will naturally accept it with sincerity."
He turned to the black-haired man sitting next to him and said, "Breda, I believe you will not let the ever-changing situation happen. The Lord is disappointed."
...
Bruni, the commander of the Horn of the Sun, felt a little irritated. This seemed a bit unbelievable to the Dragon Prince who had two hundred years of war experience. He had encountered no matter how dangerous the situation was, even in isolation. It was commonplace for him to lead people to break out of Druzi's encirclement without help, or to fight for his life when facing a giant beast. But the current situation is indeed a bit inexperienced. After Imrik gave the instruction to conduct guerrilla warfare, part of his cavalry was assigned to the Dragon Prince's battle order, and some of the Dragon Princes also joined his command. Two teams The cavalry harassed the enemy from different directions, and then led the enemy into an ambush circle to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Although there was nothing wrong with this strategy, it was of no use.
The city of Kislev is surrounded by grasslands. The Dragon Prince and the Horn of the Sun are both heavy cavalry. Even though they are very fast with the blessing of elven horses, they will still be discovered quickly. They dare not fight when encountering large-scale enemies. The small-scale enemies had no profit, so they could only wander around the battlefield for the past two days.
"Bruni, someone is attacking us."
The words of the Dragon Prince's colleague made him pay attention. He picked up the magic telescope on his waist and looked in the direction he was pointing. The first thing that came into his eyes was the eight-pointed flag of chaos. On that flag Underneath is a man wearing heavy plate armor. The battle ax held in one hand is as tall as a person. The exaggerated shape makes people wonder whether it will crush the war horse underneath him to death, but the horse's body is covered with hard bone spurs. The war horse obviously rejected this idea.
Hundreds of knights with similar equipment followed closely under the eight-pointed flag. Their fierce and powerful aura seemed very terrifying. Around them were followed thousands of knights wearing simple leather armor. Compared with the fierceness and toughness of the Chaos Knights, these messy long-haired knights The Kurgan rider with tattoos all over his body looks even more brutal and crazy.
"Can you detect us at such a distance?" Bruni felt a little strange. You must know that since the prince issued the order for guerrilla warfare, because the actual situation did not allow it, he has not been dispatched at all. He has always watched Keith from a long distance. Reeve was besieged. Even if he was discovered by some Chaos Cavalry scattered everywhere, they were immediately killed by the spell. Normally speaking, they would not be discovered.
"Throw two spells to attract attention, and then bring them into the encirclement." Putting down the magic telescope, Bruni gave the order to the accompanying mages. It is a fool's behavior to confront these Chaos Knights head-on. If you kill one today, you will be able to do it next year. If there are three of them, only the rat people may be qualified to compete with Chaos in terms of fighting losses.
The fireball technique arrived as promised when the Chaos Knights charged, but it did not achieve the expected effect. In addition to killing some Kurgan riders wearing broken leather armor, the elite Chaos Knights only suffered some scratches. Forged by Chaos Dwarves The armor has strong fire resistance, and the wind of Kislev Aksha is very thin, making it difficult for the mages of the Flame Tower to play their due role here.
But it was enough. The fireball technique exposed the position of Caledor's army. The cavalry led by the Chaos Knight charged harder, as if those little black dots were the enemies who killed their father and wanted to kill them at all costs.
Under the command of Bruni, the Caledorian army rushed towards the predetermined ambush circle. A scene like this appeared in the cold and frozen soil. The fiery red cavalry in front seemed to be trying their best to escape, but the cavalry slowed down from time to time. The movements showed that this was a deliberate move, and the Chaos Knights behind were really chasing them with all their lives. Some of the faster Kurgan Cavalry had already surpassed the Chaos Knights and were running anxiously forward.
"It's a bit strange. It makes no sense that only this small number of troops were discovered." Bruni glanced back and felt something was wrong. Even if the Eternal God Chosen was a fool, he would not order this small number of people to pursue desperately. Tsar Alex He obviously didn't have the ability to break through, and he could send tens of thousands of troops to cooperate with these cavalry in pursuit. This strange thing made him suspicious.
So he hung the shield on the saddle, took out the communicator from his arms, and contacted Imric, "Prince, there is a group of Chaos Knights chasing us, but there is something wrong with the number of people. Do we need to lead them into a predetermined ambush circle?"
After waiting for a while, "Location 2, pay attention to safety."
