Law of the Devil Chapter 537: [Fight for Roland! 】
Chapter 537 [Fight for Roland! 】
The mass disappearance of the scout team finally plunged General Rostock into anger.
Then the Commander of the Storm Corps issued a military order that directly pulled out two cavalry battalions, more than 4,000 cavalry, divided into four roads, along the northern part of the Kaspersky Line of Defense, over a long line of more than two hundred kilometers. A zippered search.
Because of insufficient information, since the scout team that the other side can eat small stocks can eat up so many scout teams one by one, and none of the live ones can be put back, General Rostock started to be cautious. He decided that since the other side could eat it Small stock scouts, then the opponent's strength must be a lot, and the fighting force is powerful. So he ordered the four cavalry not to score, so as not to be broken by each other.
The four thousand-man cavalrymen spent three days and nights conducting a large-scale search of the northern part of the Kaspersky Defense Line. They walked over hillsides, over woods, across streams, looking for each one. Suspicious clues.
A piece of intelligence was sent back to the main plug of Kaspersky's line of defense. What is even more confusing is that these search teams have found some places that are likely to be scouted and found some blood stains on the ground. Fortunately, this is the north, because cold weather, the blood on the ground may not be complete for a while. Evaporation, but the problem is, they didn't even find a body! Whether it's a horse or a person!
Finally, on the fourth day of the search, a thousand-member search team has opened the search area to the edge of the frozen forest, and finally found the enemy!
It can be said that this is the first head-to-head night battle between the army of humans and those of the sinners since the war in the mythical era 10,000 years ago!
The Thousands Cavalry found traces of enemy land outside an abandoned border town on the southern edge of the frozen forest. That town was the last smoky place at the southern end of the former frozen forest. It was once a place for mercenary activities due to the prosperity of poaching. There were also various black-hearted caravans from the mainland who bought Warcraft prey.
With Kaspersky's line of defense established. After the massive migration of the imperial people north of the line of defense, the town has become a place of no people. After a winter, most houses were crushed by snow. This once glorious town with a population of more than a thousand people is now as quiet as a haunted house.
When the Cavalry Thousands arrived here, it was already the longest distance allowed by General Rostock in the order they got, and they were not allowed to go further into the frozen forest.
Looking at the darkness, the Captain of the Thousands Team originally planned to rest overnight in this abandoned town, but as a result, most of the houses outside the town were collapsed by snow. So he dismissed this idea, instead of ordering the entire army to enter the town, but walking a little distance around the town, he ordered the army to return to the original decision, saving their fate! !!
The battle begins in an instant! Just when the rear team was ordered to change to the front team, a lot of "monsters" suddenly appeared in the town! !!
The monsters are all riding huge wolves, the wolves are wearing iron armor, and the enemies on the wolf's back are iron armor. With a big, tall body, sharp mouth and fangs, howling like a beast, he rushed to the Empire's search team!
The cavalry of the Empire rushed to fight, and suffered a huge loss on the first encounter!
A full fifty team. All were destroyed under the first charge of the opponent's wolf cavalry. Those wolf riders are huge, but they have powerful jumping ability! They do not charge against the ground, but from the town in the evening in the evening. Jumping over the abandoned houses one by one, like ghosts one by one!
After the initial panic of the cavalry of the empire, the temperament of Biao defended by the Storm Corps who has been fighting with Warcraft for many years has also erupted! Called the cavalry of the empire's most elite northern main legion, the calmness was restored in the shortest time, and the deputy commander of the leader immediately calmly directed all the cavalry to turn around and have a cavalry hedge with the opponent!
The battle is extremely fierce, and the human cavalry is very uncomfortable with the way these monsters fight. They jump back and forth, go up and down, and can even jump to a few meters high for their super ability, which puts the cavalry into a hard battle!
Fortunately, there are not too many wolf cavalry here, and the field outside the town, the flat terrain also limits the powerful riding ability of the wolf rider's talent!
A thousand Imperial Cavalry. The number of enemies to face is not large. There are only about two hundred wolf rides. After tenacious resistance, the Imperial Cavalry repelled the enemy. Those wolf riders left more than twenty bodies, and then all retreated through the darkness. After the failure of the raid, they were very clever and did not fight with the empire's army.
But despite this, the loss figures of the Imperial Cavalry were helpless ... After post-war statistics, more than 130 cavalry were killed, and forty were slightly injured, and eight were seriously injured.
This exchange of war damage ratios will keep the empire officers moving!
The cavalry of the empire's most elite storm legion, against three hundred in a thousand (according to the human search team's estimation, the number of monsters they encountered never exceeded three hundred). However, in the fierce battle in the wild, the loss ratio between humans and each other is about one to seven! This ratio cannot be tolerated anyway!
Fighting the search team is even more frightening: Fortunately, they did not enter that town! Because in the flat field, the human cavalry can still maintain a complete queue and hedge against each other, but if you rushed into the abandoned town before, then on the narrow streets, there are uneven buildings on both sides. Those who have super strong and terrible If a wolf rider with a jumping ability attacks from a building on both sides of the road, it will be enough to cause greater damage to the human cavalry crowded in a narrow street and unable to develop a queue!
And the other side retreated calmly through the night, the human cavalry could not even dare to chase!
The leader of the Storm Legion's officer has sufficient experience, and he has a keen judgement: it is clear that the monster of the other party does not seem to have visual impairment at night! And more than half of the soldiers in human land, one night. Will become blind under the effect of night blindness! Although the soldiers of the Stormwind Corps are treated well, their meals are good, and their bodies are higher in average quality than ordinary human soldiers, but soldiers suffering from night blindness also account for more than 30% of the soldiers. This is already the smallest proportion in the Imperial Army. .
After the enemy retreated, the search cavalry did not leave immediately. Under the command of the officer, the cavalry cut a monster's body on the spot. Checked their internal organs. This is the basic experience of death search scouts. They need to cut the enemy's stomach and check the food left in the other's stomach to determine whether the other party's military food is sufficient.
After the incision of a monster's stomach was cut in situ, everyone was shocked!
Because the soldier responsible for moving the knife saw a few fingers in the stomach of a monster!
These fingers, which have not been digested, still have a roughly complete outline. Obviously, this belongs to humans!
And from the stomach of a giant wolf, some other parts of the human body were also found ...
This leads to a very simple conclusion: they are cannibalistic! In other words, their food is human!
Also. Most likely, they ate the scout cavalry who had disappeared before!
Dangerously, the officers of the search team immediately made a decision. The bodies of the soldiers who died in battle cannot be left here to be ruined by the enemy, but if more than a hundred giant corpses are brought to the ground, it will easily slow down the march and increase the possibility of attack on the road. Therefore, the officer tolerated the pain and let people burn the corpses of more than a hundred cavalry soldiers on the spot!
This decision is full of grief and anger. Because of the customs in Roland, people cannot be cremated after death! "Enjoying" cremation treatment. Only those heretics who were burned to death on the temple's torture column!
But the search team had to make this helpless decision in order to prevent these dead soldiers from turning their bodies into food in the stomach of the enemy.
After setting off a fire, the remaining human cavalry returned vigilantly.
The other three search teams also encountered different levels of fighting later, but in comparison, they were much smaller. A search team encountered about twenty cavalry cavalry, but the enemy was cunning, hundreds of meters away. Saw human cavalry. Soon away.
Another search team arrived at five wolf riders, after paying the price of six killed and four injured. Three of them were killed, but the other two were injured and escaped.
When the search team returned to Kaspersky's main stop six days later, they turned in all the information in this line and immediately caused a sensation!
Many people have seen the corpses of the giant wolf brought back, as well as those wolf cavalry!
Wolf cavalry is similar to humans but taller and stronger. After taking off their armor, their body structure is exactly like a human with a wolf head. The imperial soldiers came to a sighing conclusion: this is an unknown creature, and the fur on their whole body makes them have much stronger cold resistance than humans! That is to say, in the cold weather in the north, they can care nothing about the severe cold weather, and can maintain sufficient physical strength and combat power in the severe cold. These are human weaknesses.
From the analysis of the fighting process, not only do these monsters have powerful fighting power, their individual fighting power is much stronger than human cavalry. After analysis, the Imperial Army has made a rough judgment. The fighting power of such a wolf cavalry is enough. On par with the two elite cavalry of humans!
Of course, if it is just these, it will not make humans afraid, because the cavalry of these brave storm legions, once battled in the frozen forest with the powerful Warcraft for many years, Warcraft also has a powerful combat power.
But the problem is that it really caused psychological changes in human beings, and even caused a little fear for two other reasons:
First, after analyzing the battle process, humans have concluded that this enemy has high wisdom! They wore armor, and even the mounted wolf wore iron armor. Moreover, from the perspective of the fighting process, they know the tactics of group battles!
The second ... they eat people!
That is to say, this is a biological race with high intelligence. They know how to use tactics, weapons, and humans as food ... At the same time, I am afraid there are a lot of them!
This conclusion is enough to shock the army.
"This is only the enemy's small-scale scout!" In the commander's office, General Rostock convened his generals, and everyone made a consensus. "This is just before the enemy invaded, sent a vanguard of Kamchatka terrain. Scouts! Just like us humans use cavalry as scouts and vanguards! They use this giant wolf cavalry to serve as vanguards and scouts! They came from the north and stepped out of the frozen forest! Waiting for the terrain of this area in the north After the inspection is finished ... Wait for us, there will be a large number of such monster enemies. "
General Rostock's face was gloomy, and he finally made a decision: "Order, tell General Andrei to send his airship troops. We can no longer let the soldiers ride out to investigate the situation. This is too dangerous, squad The dispatch was just sent to death. From now on, scouts' inspections must not go beyond the ten-mile range around the fortress, and other areas ... Leave it to General Andre's air force! "
Looking at the different expressions of the generals, General Rostock suddenly stood up and shouted, "I know what everyone thinks! But I don't think it is worthy of fear! We are the Storm Corps! Invincible soldiers in the snow We have faced hordes of terrible Warcraft! And now we have better equipment, strong forts and fortresses, and a lot of friendly forces! We are ready for war! So ... guys, it is not us now When he was afraid! "Speaking here, Rostock stared at the generals and gritted his teeth:" But ... in the fight !! "
After speaking, Rostock pulled out his sword and held it high in his hand: "Fight for Roland!"
The generals were shocked and pulled out their long swords in response: "Fight for Roland !!"
