Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 180 Night Attack on the Village

In the evening, in the southern part of Thorn Ridge, Varokar and Dezko, led by members of the Anbu, were observing the target of this mission, a boarman village on the edge of the Steelmand tribe's influence!

Varokar handed an engineering telescope to Dezco, and the engineering telescope model used by humans looked like a toy made to fool children in the Minotaur's hands.

Through the engineering telescope, Varokal carefully observed the settlement of the steel-maned wild boars.

According to intelligence from the Anbu, this wild boar settlement is the largest village of the Steelhair Tribe in the south, with about 10,000 wild boars, while the remaining villages around it have only a few hundred to a few thousand wild boars.

Therefore, Varokar and Dezco, one man and one cow, unanimously decided to work together to eliminate the largest wild boar village, and then split into two groups and act separately.

In the boarman village, there are many teams of boarman warriors patrolling. The members of these patrols are strong and wear homemade leather armor. The weapons in their hands are rarely made of iron, unlike the Thornblade Tribe who are so poor that they use wooden hammers.

In addition to the patrolling soldiers, there are also many boarmen who are similar to hunters. They hold wooden crossbows in their hands and are accompanied by a strong wild boar or prairie wolf. They focus on patrolling the blind spots of the village. The prairie wolves keep shaking their noses left and right, as if they are trying to identify the wolves in the air. Are they using them as hunting dogs?

Do you have any misunderstandings about beagle dogs? Is this polite to the dogs?

As night fell, the boar village began to light up with fires. A group of female boar people in long robes held matches and lit a bonfire. The boar people carried their prey to the side of the bonfire and prepared to make today's dinner.

Dezco and Varokal slowly retreated to the base of the mound and waited.

Dezco and Varokal discussed the time of attack. They set the time of action at midnight, which is the time when every creature is the most tired. The sleeping boarmen will also fall into a deep sleep at this moment, and the patrols will also relax their vigilance at this time. This is the instinct of creatures. Elite troops can overcome this weakness through strict training, and the rotation system can effectively avoid unprepared night attacks.

Obviously, the wild boar people do not have this quality. In a village of 7,000 wild boar people, at least half of them are capable of fighting. This is determined by the social habits of the wild boar people. They will abandon the old and weak tribesmen and let them fend for themselves. Therefore, their tribes are mostly composed of adult wild boar people, and the rest are cubs.

After a rest in advance, near midnight, the human knights began to prepare for the night attack. They took out some cotton cloth from their two backpacks and began to wrap the four hooves of their war horses.

When Dezco saw it, his eyes widened. Is this possible?

Dezco is also a young calf who has just reached adulthood not long ago. He was able to lead five thousand Kodo Knights thanks to Garin's designation. In addition, he was one of only two first-generation Sunwalkers in the entire Tauren tribe, so Cain promoted him as an exception.

Youth represents growth and also a time to gain experience. He doesn't know whether the Tauren's ancestors had similar tactics, at least he has never seen it. Since he was old enough to understand, the Tauren, led by Cairne Bloodhoof, had entered the Stonetalon Mountains, a narrow terrain surrounded by mountains, which was not suitable for cavalry combat.

"What are you standing there for? Come on, wrap it yourself!"

Varokar directly threw the extra cotton cloth in his hand to Dezco. Cotton cloth was one of the essential items in the knight's backpack, in addition to food and water. This was arranged by Garin. He had read a lot of miscellaneous books in his previous life, and one of them was a method of wrapping horse hooves to reduce the sound.

No matter whether it is useful or not, it is worth a try. In the past two years, Cliff's construction corps has been overwhelmed with farm orders from nobles, which has brought Garin a lot of wealth.

Anyway, this little bit of cotton cloth is nothing to the wealthy Garin and is not worth mentioning!

The knights who had wrapped the horses' hooves also began to help the kodo beasts wrap their four thick hooves. However, as Varokar looked at the huge kodo beast, he thought to himself, with such a heavy body, would the cotton hoof wrapping that His Royal Highness the Prince taught him be useful?

Everything was ready, and Varocar and Dezco began to lead their troops.

It was already midnight, the moonlight was dim in the dark clouds, and the howling of wolves could occasionally be heard from afar in the wasteland of the Barrens. The wild boar village was silent except for two patrols yawning and listless, while ordinary zombies wandered between the huts in the village.

As the largest force in the Northern Barrens, the Steelmantle Tribe is not afraid of anyone. Their few mortal enemies are the Harpys in the northwest. Although they are not as numerous as the Steelmantle Tribe, they often capture the Steelmantle Tribe's Wild Boars. The Wild Boars lack anti-aircraft means, so both sides can do nothing to each other.

The thornback wild boars further south were a piece of fat meat in their eyes, similar to a supply station, and whenever they were short of food and clothing, they would go to their territory to beg for food. For this reason, they even specifically announced that they were going to seize the blood rock fragments to strengthen the strength of the tribe.

Further south, the Death's Head tribe considers themselves the royal family of the boarmen, and are afraid that the Steelmantle tribe will increase in strength after obtaining the Blood Rock Fragments, which would threaten their position. Therefore, they regard the Thornback's territory as a buffer zone and frequently provide assistance to the Thornback boarmen. The Steelmantle tribe is also happy to see this, and they feed the Thornbacks before plundering them.

As for the establishment of Galen Port, the Steelmantle Tribe watched coldly. Even though it was very close to their sphere of influence, the Steelmantle Tribe did not stop it. The existence of a commercial port was more beneficial to them. During this year, they successfully robbed the goods of several caravans, including those of the night elves, tauren, and more often those of the goblin caravans.

The Steelhair Tribe, which had been doing well in Thorn Ridge for thousands of years, never thought that someone would come to attack them!

The infantry led by Flar and Kimir were quietly making a detour to the north and west to encircle the area to prevent the wild boar people from escaping and leaking the news.

Dezco and Varokar led the knights and their horses to sneak behind a hill one thousand meters away from the wild boar village, climbed up the hill and watched.

Several boar hunters who were on guard at the entrance of the village were holding their weapons, sleeping soundly with their fighting boars and prairie wolf companions as their heads rested, snoring one after another. The defense of the entire village was almost non-existent!

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Several dull sounds of bows and arrows rubbing against the air were heard. This was a few Tauren hunters who had lurked within the shooting range, strung their longbows, and aimed at the boar hunters on guard. Including their fighting boars, they were all shot in the head by long arrows in their sleep and died silently.

When Dezco and Varokar saw the guards being taken care of, they slid down the hill quickly, jumped onto their horses neatly, drew their weapons, gave the order to attack, then pulled the reins and the horses under them began to accelerate, charging towards the gate of the boar man's village!

The two knight groups together had more than 8,000 people. Attacking this undefended boarman village seemed like an easy task to Varokar. However, after years of teaching by the prince, he had learned to be cautious and never act rashly or underestimate the enemy.

If this thing capsizes in the gutter of this small village, it will be a disgrace for the newly appointed legion commander!

Varokar didn't want the prince's battle plan to fail, so he discussed every step repeatedly with Dezko, Vlar, and Kimir, trying to make it foolproof.

A distance of one thousand meters is just a matter of a dozen seconds for the excellent war horses and strong kodo beasts produced by the base, and it passes in a flash.

Dezco took the lead and was tasked with completing the planned task of breaking through the wild boarmen's gate. The previously dim village head under the moonlight was shining with golden light. Since Dezco learned the wrath of revenge, he also became as fond of showing off as Garin. There was nothing more fulfilling than showing off in front of his five thousand younger brothers and more than three thousand friendly troops.

Especially the Paladin Valokar, who uses the same power as him, has not yet mastered this move. If he doesn't show it now, when will he show it? Hahaha, Dezco is very proud.

Dezco poured all his strength into the giant warhammer in his hand. His strength increased dramatically after being amplified by the wrath of vengeance. He swung the warhammer and hit the wooden fence gate.

"Oh!"

The wooden fence gate collapsed!

The sound of the gate collapsing startled the drowsy patrolling wild boars. They looked in the direction of the gate in astonishment, then ran forward to check the situation.

As soon as I arrived near the gate, I heard the dull sound of galloping. Although it was wrapped in cotton cloth, it only reduced the distance of the horse's hooves. At this moment, the trampling sound of the charging war horses and kodo beasts had spread throughout the village!

Most of the sleeping boar people were awakened, stood up dazedly, and walked out of the shed to check the situation.

A patrol on the avenue rushed out from the sheds on both sides and saw the knights led by Varokar approaching, and then just in time shouted: "Enemy attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the patrol team became the victims of the knights' swords and then trampled into meat paste by the horses' hooves!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

As the wild boar people walked out of the shed and saw this situation, they realized that it was an invasion and quickly raised the alarm. The wild boar warriors came out of their respective homes, and they didn't even have time to put on clothes and equipment. They only had time to run out with their weapons.

The captain of the second patrol team was smashed into a meat pie by Dezco, and the other team members could not escape the disaster either. They were torn to pieces by the knights and died on the spot!

The boarmen on the road were cleared away, and the knights each lit a torch and held it up. The knights on the edge set fire to the wooden sheds on both sides of the road.

The plan had gone smoothly so far. Dezco and Varokal looked at each other and then issued the next order:

"Spread out into teams of 300 people each. Kill anyone holding a weapon you see. Eliminate the resistance in the village as quickly as possible! Take all the women and children away!"

In the tribe of wild boarmen, adult male wild boarmen are their main fighting force, mainly warriors, with some hunters as long-range assistants and a small number of spellcasters as assistants.

At this moment, the Steel-Maned Boarmen holding long swords and battle axes ran out of their homes sporadically, and then the surrounding boarmen quickly gathered together to launch a counterattack.

In the narrow passage, the human knights did not use their lances, but used broad-bladed swords as weapons. As they galloped, they set fire to the huts and drove away the women and children among the wild boar people who had no fighting ability.

The boarmen warriors who tried to stop the various teams had just gathered together when they were dispersed by the knights, leaving corpses all over the ground. Then the sound of fighting attracted the nearby knights, who were hit by another charge, and the newly organized force was instantly wiped out.

The knights went back and forth in Steelhair's village, clearing out the resistance. The scattered wild boar warriors could not form a certain number of teams, so they could not stop the knights. The knights rushed forward like a flood breaking through a dam, unstoppable and destroying all obstacles in front of them.

Finally, in the largest shed in the center of the village, the village leader responded and gave a deafening roar: "Come closer to me, quickly!"

Struggling in vain!

When the shouts and cries of killing rang out, Flar and Kimir quickly spread out their troops and surrounded the entire village on all sides. As the flames shot up into the sky, which was a signal of the plan, they began to close the encirclement.

The battle lasted for an hour, and only sporadic resistance remained on the outskirts of the village. The knights of Varokar and the Kodo Knights of Dezko plowed the outskirts like bulldozers several times.

Fires shot up into the sky in the village, but this was all a planned defense. A shed was set on fire every fifty meters, illuminating the surrounding roads and leaving no place for the hidden wild boar people to hide.

At this time, only the center of the village was still resisting stubbornly. The leader of the Steel Haired Village organized a team of more than 2,000 wild boar people, including his trusted warriors living around him, and a team of Steel Haired Mystics.

The knights began to tighten the encirclement. In addition to the people who surrounded the village, the main force of Flar and Kimir's legions had already entered the village and began to search the huts one by one, driving the boar women and children and the male boar who had lost the will to resist to the village square.

The musketeers of the 4th and 5th legions advanced towards the center of the village under the cover of the knights. Those boarmen who did not have time to put on their equipment were riddled with musket bullets.

The spells of the Steel-Maned Mystic also caused a lot of trouble to the knights. They would control the surrounding thorns to entangle the enemies, and they also wore frost armor on their bodies to block the bullets of the musketeers.

Fight stubbornly!

After eliminating this largest village, there are still small villages with hundreds to thousands of wild boar people around. After the battle, Dezco and Varokar will split their troops into two groups, trying to break through ten enemy strongholds tonight!

Dezco wants to win the battle quickly and expand his victory. He has already experienced the feeling of leading troops at the head of the enemy. This is his first battle leading an army alone, and he must prove his ability to his fellow tribesmen!

"Warriors of Shuhalu, follow me and charge!"
