Devil's Journey

Chapter 161 Preparing for an Ambush
Compared with large-scale battles, half-elves are better at small-scale forest battles. Weapons are good at using long and short bows and one-handed swords. In addition, they are more proficient in arranging traps and detecting enemies. There are also very few professions such as Druids who have awakened themselves.

However, it is a pity that the half-elves have been deliberately suppressed by the business alliance for too long. The inheritance of various professions is incomplete, and there is not even any higher-level occupation inheritance. Even the knight-errant god rarely bestows favors, and even the priest Not much.

If such an army were to be used to fight against the well-armed and well-organized Verrol army, it would undoubtedly be an attempt to block traffic. Even if there were more troops, the result would inevitably be defeat.

Of course, half-elves are not without their advantages. For example, small-scale scouting battles in the mountains and forests are the specialty of half-elves. Even the Verrol army has many rogues and rangers, and even a small number of half-elves , but still unable to gain the upper hand in the scout battle.

However, there are hired mages, warlocks and other legal professionals in the Verrol army, so that the half-elf rangers dare not get too close to the Verrol army to harass.

The soldiers of the Virol Crusade Army are mainly composed of city-state guards and mercenary teams, and a small number of adventurers. In addition, noble knights and retinues are the core.

The equipment of the city-state guard is mainly mail armor and half-body breastplate, and because they are relatively rich, most of these soldiers also wear an extra piece of good-quality leather armor, as well as steel helmets, iron shields, sophisticated weapons, etc. A piece of crossbow, which can be changed to a crossbowman to shoot before the battle.

The equipment of the mercenaries is a bit messy, but it is still relatively close to the city-state guards in general, but the clothing, armor, and weapons are not uniform. Well, equipped with excellent grade.

And those silver-ranked officers basically have one or several pieces of rare-level enchanted equipment, with bright armor, bright clothes, and high morale.

And those noble knights and retinues are even more luxuriously equipped. Precious or even excellent equipment is not uncommon. One can tell at a glance that they are rich masters. If there is a war between humans, even if these wealthy noble children are defeated It can also be used to counteract the enemy's killing intent.

After all, if he is so rich, if he is a prisoner, can he be exchanged for a generous ransom? If he can be captured alive, he will definitely be captured alive.

But it's a bit difficult to fight against aliens.

In addition, there are some heavy infantry, which are composed of the elite of various city-state forces. The strong men of the bronze rank are physically strong, can wear heavy plate armor, and hold various heavy weapons for a long time.

In addition, there is a spell-casting team to assist, which makes such an army have a strong combat power, and it is difficult to defeat it even in the forest.

What's more, there are five such legions, and the distance between them is only fifty or sixty kilometers when marching. As long as they are not wiped out in the first place, they can be rescued by other teams. It seems difficult to ambush.

"The lure of the enemy failed. Although the Verrol people were arrogant, they did not lose their minds and chose to pursue them by force." Sharna said to Liya rather annoyed.

The camp located in the depths of the forest is a bit crude and scattered, but it is not very conspicuous in the forest. There are mages in Verrol's army, and mages have some special detection methods, so there are still a lot of camps for half-elfs camouflage.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Sharna discussed the military situation with Liya, Senia, and Sylvia. Although she had acquired a lot of military knowledge with Julian, she was not a professional military background after all, and she still didn't have enough battlefield command experience.

However, Julian didn't send Layla here. It seems that he intends to train Sharna and the others. If they perform well, they will be able to entrust them with important tasks in the future.

In addition, some other old subordinates were also sent here, including the ogre Boluo, the troll Adu, etc. A few days ago, Julian took time out to arrange a new magic circle to strengthen those old subordinates. Fan, at this time they are all at the peak of the silver rank, and they are only short of a hearty battle before they can advance to the next rank. However, if they are not careful, they may die in battle, but Julian doesn't care.

Among the four girls, Liya is the most eager to win besides Sharna, but unlike Sharna, Liya just wants to win to get Julian's admiration. Compared with death, she is more afraid of facing Julian. Disappointed, although she has already died once.

"If the lure of the enemy is unsuccessful, then we need to divide our troops to block the enemy's reinforcements, and then quickly wipe out one of the legions, but this." Liya shook her head, and then continued: "But this way the troops are not enough."

"Then do I need to ask the master for help?" Sylvia looked at the map and asked in a low voice.

Sharna was a little tangled, and seemed to want to ask for help, but she was a little unwilling. As for Liya, she shook her head directly and said, "No, the master didn't do it so early in his plan. We need to turn this forest into Vero The bloodshed of the Verrors, the master will lead an army into Verrors when enough blood has been shed from the Verrors."

Liya's words made Sharna's expression a little sad. The bloody place of the Verrol people is not the bloody place of half-elves, but fortunately, Sharna has been used to death for so long, so she adjusted quickly. mentality.

At this time, Senia said again: "Maybe we can... change our thinking."

"what?"

Liya and Sharna looked over curiously.

I saw Senia making gestures on the map, and then continued: "We can pretend to attack each legion first, attract the rescue of other legions, and then really encircle and wipe out the rescued legion, so that we can have more More time to eat up that rescued legion."

"Besides, the rescued army will definitely march in a hurry, so the queue will inevitably become disorganized." Sharna's eyes lit up, and then she and Liya's three daughters started planning again.

"The demons and wild monsters have no advantage in marching in the mountains and forests. They should be used as the main attacking force and ambushed in advance. However, if they are disguised, I am afraid they will need some half-elf assistance." Liya calculated the marching speed of some of the legions under her command, and then said .

"Okay, I'll give you a thousand and a half elves, then I'll lead an army here to attack the second legion of the Virol Crusade Army, and if I am to ambush the reinforcements," Sharna searched for a suitable terrain on the map.

"Here, the terrain here is more complicated, it is easy to hide ambushes, but be careful of the potholes here, there are many giant spiders inside." As a ranger who grew up in the peaceful forest, Sharna is naturally very familiar with the terrain.

"Well, should the other reinforcements also make some feints?" Sylvia raised her hand weakly like a student to make a suggestion.

"The legion in the north can send a small number of rangers to pretend to stop it, and there is no need to divide up the troops in the south. Firstly, it is too far away, and secondly, the other party may not rush to rescue. We should concentrate our forces to annihilate the most middle legion." Lily Yapo came to a decisive conclusion: "The battle must be ended within one day, otherwise we will have to withdraw our troops."

　The battlefield plan is too clumsy and simple, please forgive me, after all, I can't write too much in detail here.
