Chapter 1336 Night Raid
Blood Hand’s idea for this ambush was also simple.
As both of them are powerful warriors at the Zongheng realm level, Saint Laurent I is definitely stronger than him.
Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the more Saint Laurent I's strength will recover.
Rather than waiting until then, it is better to fight hard now! Their greenskin army was not inferior in terms of military strength. The key was the previous victory of Saint Laurent I and the greenskin emperor, which broke the balance of their most critical high-end combat power.
In other words, he only needed to take advantage of this information gap and find an opportunity to sneak attack and kill Saint Laurent I. The advantage that the coalition had before could be turned into the advantage of their greenskin army! A camp like this, which was temporarily built in the wild during the march and used for overnight stays, could not be as defensive as a fortress no matter how it was arranged, not to mention that their opponents were greenskins who excelled in offensive capabilities.
A large army of greenskins attacked their camp in the dark. The entire offensive was launched simultaneously from all directions. The small defenses outside the camp were basically as fragile as thin paper in the face of the greenskins' offensive and were quickly completely broken. In a short period of time, the entire camp was caught in a melee with the greenskins.
Similar situations have been dealt with too many times by the Saint Laurent Army led by Marshal Adolf and even the Smith Army led by Fisher.
In this wild environment late at night, while being passively attacked by the greenskins, it is unrealistic to want to form a group and fight a large-scale positional battle with the greenskins.
With the greenskins' impact force, they can break into their positions in an instant, causing a large-scale melee.
In this situation, the best way is to form a small-scale positional warfare centered around generals who have certain strength.
Marshal Adolf and his men had already thought of this when they set up camp. From the Vajra Realm to the Hundred Refining Realm, they evenly distributed the generals' tents in every area of the camp, and deployed their forces with the generals' tents as the center. Each area was a small position.
At the moment the camp was attacked, the surrounding soldiers were awakened and rushed towards the generals who were the core of their respective positions at the fastest speed.
The greenskins are indeed strong, and their individual qualities are better than those of ordinary human soldiers. However, as long as there is a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm who can withstand the frontal attack, the ordinary soldiers on the side will seize the opportunity, rush forward, and stab him to death with their spears in an instant.
Of course, although this is easy to say and the tactics themselves are indeed feasible, when combined with the actual situation, the entire battle situation is still tragic.
From the perspective of an entire army, even warriors at the Hundred Refinements Realm are still a minority, and it is difficult for the limited number of generals to take care of everything in battle.
In places they couldn't take care of, the soldiers basically could only exchange their lives with the greenskins who rushed up. When the soldiers in front fell, the soldiers behind immediately took over!
This can be said to be the norm in the battle between human forces and greenskins.
After all, the number of troops itself is one of the advantages of the human army.
"Light up the tents!!"
With a loud roar, facing the greenskins rushing up in the dark, Xie Liancheng kicked over the brazier used for lighting and set fire to the tent next to him.
The tent caught fire, causing a huge flame that illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.
The greenskins who had been hiding in the night were nowhere to hide under this light.
Almost at that moment, accompanied by a flash of cold light, the sword in Xie Liancheng's hand instantly separated the bodies of the two green-skinned soldiers who rushed up.
At the same time, in the next position, the trap camp with Zhou Chongshan as the core also responded quickly.
During this period of time, every soldier in the Xianzhen Camp slept with their armor on. As soon as they heard the word "enemy attack", they assembled as quickly as possible.
Even though they had made tactical arrangements, facing the night attack by the greenskins, all the phalanxes were in a state of confusion. Only the position of the trap camp remained stable throughout the whole process, without showing any panic! The tent was lit up, and the view quickly opened up with the flames rising into the sky.
"The will to break through the enemy lines!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
Amid the sound of war cries, the shield wall that was quickly built outside the position suddenly rushed forward and had a head-on collision with the green-skinned soldiers who had suddenly attacked. It was a pure test of physical fitness, without any fear at all.
The collision stunned the green-skinned soldiers who were rushing up. It felt like they had hit an iron wall, which made them see stars and feel dizzy.
Before they could come to their senses, a cold light burst out from behind the shield wall! Extremely sharp three-edged short spears stabbed out from behind at various tricky angles.
They would attack your neck, heart and other fatal parts one by one. At worst, they would stab their three-edged short spears into your belly and stir your intestines! Under the cover of night, the fierce attack of the greenskin army was obviously frustrated in the trap camp.
"WAAAAGH!!!"
In this situation, the greenskin soldiers obviously knew how to ask for help. Amidst the war roars, a burly ogre walked over with heavy steps.
The ogre held a huge wooden spear in his hand as a weapon, and when he swept it left and right, the incredible force was so strong that even the soldiers of the Formation Trap who were fully equipped with heavy armor could not withstand it.
But just because they can't resist head-on doesn't mean they don't have other ways to deal with it...
Facing the approaching ogre, Zhou Chongshan flashed in the trap camp. With just one strike, the approaching ogre was instantly ripped open by the amazing slash, killing him instantly! Obviously, the simplest and most efficient way at the moment was to let Zhou Chongshan take action directly.
Although the ogre's physical fitness is comparable to that of a warrior at the Hundred Refining Realm, he is basically vulnerable in front of Zhou Chongshan, a warrior at the Vajra Realm.
Inside the coalition camp, tents one after another were quickly set on fire.
At this moment, for the coalition forces, they have already ushered in a crucial battle. In the face of the victory or failure of this battle, even if all the tents in the camp are burned, what does it matter? In the chaos of the battle, the Xianzhen Camp headed by Zhou Chongshan invisibly supported a wave of battle.
In the process of holding off the greenskin offensive, they quickly stabilized their position and even gradually gained the ability to support surrounding positions and initiate a counterattack.
During this period, the major Vajra Realm fighters within the coalition also took action one after another.
With Saint Laurent I in control of the situation, they had no scruples and just attacked! The actions of the powerful men in the Vajra Realm triggered a counterattack for the coalition forces in the most intuitive way.
In order to withstand this wave of counterattack, the powerful men on the greenskin army had no choice but to accept the attack, which was undoubtedly exactly what the coalition forces wanted.
In the camp full of flames, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out. In the white light, Saint Roland I, holding a pure white holy sword, intervened in the battlefield. The unmatched sword blade slashed directly at one of the green-skinned generals at the King Kong level! Unexpectedly, under the shadow of the fire, a nimble figure also moved at this moment!
