Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 82 The war is about to begin

Through reconnaissance, Garin roughly estimated that there were between six thousand and seven thousand villages outside Deadwood Village, and most of the patrols were troll headhunters.

As for the trolls hiding in the cave, according to the intelligence provided by the kingdom, there are probably less than three thousand of them.

Of course, intelligence only provides a reference, and plans still need to be carefully deployed.

Gandalf used group teleportation to lead more than 2,000 base soldiers to the north. He will lead Omar and Fadil's team, a total of 5,000 people, to make a feint attack in the north and summon water elements to attack together.

After breaking through the wall of Kurumu Village, cooperate with the large force to clear out the gathering points of the surrounding villages, and finally meet at the entrance of the cave in Kurumu Village.

The south side was framed by Garin himself. It was a very cost-effective thing to use Gandalf's water element by spending money. The gold required was lower than that required for a human infantry, and the size of the water element was nearly six meters, which exceeded the height of the wooden wall of the Deadwood Village, and was very oppressive.

There are two ninth-level warriors in the Deadwood Village. Gandalf will deal with one, and Garin will take over the other. With the increase in the population of the base, there are now more than 25,000 people. With the bonus of the power of the king, Garin has reached the peak of the eighth level. With more than 10,000 troops, he can kill a ninth-level warrior.

Everything was ready. Riding on his warhorse, Garin couldn't help but think of the words of encouragement given by the generals every time a battle started in Rome Total War: Today is a good day!

Aha!

Today is a good day, suitable for attacking cities and seizing territories.

Galen and Gandalf began to summon water elements, one in the south and one in the north.

Soon, ten water elements on each side were ready. The duration of the first water element was already half over, and summoning more would be a waste of time and gold.

In the north, Gandalf launched a magical firework, which burst into brilliant light in the sky.

Garin received the signal and commanded the water elements to take the lead, followed by the infantry phalanx of the front army, and the musketeer troops behind, and together they approached the gate of the Deadwood Village.

Garin only released half of his troops from the front army, and the other half hid in the woods on standby. This was his reserve force to prevent unexpected events.

In fact, it is not correct to say north and south directions, but north and west. Although Minas Tirith is south of Deadwood Village, there is a mountainous area south of Deadwood Village, so Garin is now attacking the west gate of Deadwood Village.

Originally, the Deadwood Village was in a tense atmosphere. This atmosphere began to grow in the village ever since the beast tamer Kama never returned. The two chiefs who returned from Shadrano two days later than Kama took great pains to calm the unstable people's hearts.

When Garin's army pressed forward today and the six-meter-high water element approached, this oppressive atmosphere seemed to become even stronger.

The guards at the city gates were the first to discover the human army and immediately sounded the alarm. The warnings from the two city gates startled the Kurumu Village, which had already been under martial law.

To the Witherbark trolls, the humans of the Arathi Highlands are a formidable foe. They are aliens and enemies who have occupied the trolls' territory and driven them to the edge of the highlands.

Because they have been fighting for many years, they know that the human army is short of manpower. Even when their king led his army to attack the Deadwood Village more than ten years ago, he concentrated his forces to attack one route. Dividing the forces into two routes and attacking two city walls like today has never happened before.

However, the troll commander responded quickly, issued an assembly signal, and then divided the assembled young and strong trolls, including strong female trolls, into two teams to support the north gate and the south gate respectively.

Judging from the speed at which they provided support, they should have been prepared to be attacked in advance.

On Garin's side, since the wall of Deadwood Village was just a circle of wood, the trolls could not rely on the wall for defense and could only pour out of the wooden gate and gather at the door. The trolls in the front row held wooden shields for defense, while the headhunters in the back held throwing spears tightly, waiting for the impending collision.

After studying military knowledge with Amor for a period of time, Garin roughly judged that there were more than three thousand trolls at the city gate.

Three thousand versus five thousand, it seems like a big difference in strength, but that's not how things work in war. The Witherwood Trolls are a branch of the Forest Trolls, they are generally over two meters tall and as thin as bamboo poles, but their fighting power is not weak.

Their barbaric lifestyle makes them very tough, and combined with their powerful self-healing ability, the trolls can be considered one of the top fighting races in Azeroth.

At the front of the troll army was a troll witch doctor wearing a strange headdress and a wooden mask. He was the commander of the army. The tall water element in front of him put a lot of pressure on him. Behind him was his homeland, so he had to hold on no matter how difficult it was.

Fortunately, there are only ten of these big guys. He believes in his people. Ten big guys and five thousand human soldiers, although difficult, there is still a chance.

The troll witch doctor made a gesture, signaling the troll soldiers to get ready.

Dro! Dro! Dro!

The musket bullets hit the shield of the troll shield guard, making a dull sound, and at the same time a cloud of gunpowder smoke was stirred up in the army.

The musketeers relied on the upgraded attack range of their muskets and began to attack in advance as soon as the trolls entered the range.

"Raise your shield!"

Seeing that the front-row infantry were almost within the headhunter's throwing range, Garin ordered the infantry to raise their shields for defense and approach the troll.

Ten water elementals approached, and more than three thousand human infantrymen holding shields slowly approached the troll battle formation. After approaching the shooting range of the troll headhunters, the friction sounds produced by the infantrymen using their shield-raising skills were uniform.

"sound of a bell!"

As luck would have it, the sun was setting in the east at that moment, and the human infantry's raised shields reflected the sunlight, instantly making it impossible for the unsuspecting trolls in front of them to open their eyes. They were in pain from the stinging sunlight and tears were streaming down their faces.

"Target human troops! Throw!"

The troll witch doctor commander gave the order. The headhunters in the back row were also affected by the sunlight reflected off their shields, but after hearing the attack order, they had to throw away their spears.

Woo! Woo!

The spear was thrown with tremendous force, making a harsh sound as it rubbed against the air. The battle between humans and trolls once again broke out in Arathi Highlands.

Because the headhunters were dazzled by the sunlight reflected from their shields, their accuracy needed to be improved. As the human phalanx advanced, the last row of the musketeer phalanx also began to attack, and as the strength of the two increased and the strength of the other decreased, the infantry suffered few casualties.

The trolls in the back row began to fall to the ground and wail after being hit by bullets, and some unlucky trolls were even killed by a shot in the head.

Garin's side are professional soldiers trained by the Heart of Origin. They have been instilled with professional military knowledge and have very strong combat capabilities, which are far more professional and accurate than those of the trolls.

The trolls were originally just the young and strong men in the village. They were summoned together out of necessity and sent into battle with only simple weapons and equipment. They only relied on their superior physical fitness to fight the enemy. They did not have strong military qualities, and their numbers were not as large as those of the human army. They were destined to be at a disadvantage from the beginning.

The shield-bearing trolls hiding behind the wooden shields had their vision blocked by the wooden shields. The impact from the wooden shields already made them a little nervous. At this moment, the trolls in the back row who were shot and fell to the ground screamed and cried out in pain, causing them some confusion.

The commotion among the troll troops was Garin's opportunity. He saw that a leading water element had been dispersed by the headhunter's spears and the witch doctor's concentrated fire, so he added another one.

"Kill! Charge with all your forces!"

The troll riot was Garin's opportunity, and he certainly would not let it go. He directly ordered the infantry to charge and at the same time sent out signal flares to let the hidden troops attack and prepare for a encirclement.
