Chapter 928 Breaking Attack
With the slaughter of Neverwinter Fortress, the last nail in Neverwinter City was finally pulled out, and Waterdeep City was completely cut off from access to information.
Since they don't know what happened in Neverwinter City, they don't even know that the entire Neverwinter City is already under the control of Zhang Cheng and has completely turned towards Lu Sikan, preparing to launch a fatal blow at the critical moment.
In fact, not only Waterdeep City did not know, but also the nobles and merchants in Neverwinter City did not know that they were already Luskan's allies, and they were still highly vigilant about the troops stationed ten kilometers away.
Only the shapeshifting officers, whose eyes were shining with strange silver light, knew what would happen next.
In order to better control the army, Valindra brought a total of eighty shapeshifters from Luskan. They can perfectly transform into anyone's appearance and replace them silently.
At present, all the people with higher status in the army of Neverwinter have been replaced by shapeshifters. As long as they give an order, the soldiers will immediately turn back and attack their former allies with a righteous backstab.
The poor lords of Waterdeep City have not yet realized that Zhang Cheng has weaved a huge trap in Neverwinter City. Once stepped on, there will be absolutely no life.
When the reinforcements from the Northern Lords Alliance gathered more and more, and finally reached an unprecedented number of fifty thousand, they began to move towards the north in a mighty manner, intending to fight a battle outside your Neverwinter Forest and completely defeat you. Luskan's ambition to expand.
Since all the previous ships in the harbor were destroyed, the coalition had to march from land. It was extremely difficult to transport various supplies. If you look down from the air, you can clearly see the front and rear of a large number of ox-carts, horse-drawn carriages, and mule carts. Connected, slowly moving forward on the muddy dirt road, the speed is simply outrageous.
Damn it! Why did it stop in front again? A middle-aged man wearing shining silver armor cursed loudly.
It's not that he has a bad temper, but that similar situations will occur every one or two hours along the way, which is an outright disaster for the march.
Sorry, General Ramsay, another carriage has overturned in front. The craftsmen are working on repairs. It will be repaired in a few minutes. A scout hurried over to report.
The man known as General Ramsay sighed helplessly: Hey, let them hurry up, otherwise...
Before he could finish his words, fifty or sixty orcs riding wargs suddenly rushed out of the nearby forest. Without saying a word, they rushed directly into the unprepared team to kill and destroy them.
Ouch! Hey, hey, hey!
The leader shouted a howl full of barbarian characteristics from Icewind Dale,
He swung his machete and chopped an unlucky guy in half.
Not to be outdone, the warg under his crotch killed another human soldier in one bite, and then opened its bloody mouth to intimidate those timid horses, cattle, mules and other domestic animals.
In the blink of an eye, the team was thrown into chaos.
In addition, many soldiers were exhausted from traveling for days, so they forced these wolf cavalry to massacre more than two hundred people before walking away.
You must know that it is not just these dozens of warg cavalry who launch the attack, but there will be such a team every two or three hundred meters, adding up to more than a thousand people.
They were not willing to fight at all. After a successful attack, they immediately turned around and retreated, hiding in the dense forests on both sides, giving their opponents no chance to counterattack or pursue.
There is no doubt that this is a standard attack tactic. The purpose is to make the enemy exhausted and unable to rest and march well.
If they were on a frontal battlefield, these mere thousand wolf cavalry would at best be able to compete with the same number of human knights.
But after being dispersed, they are like ghosts hiding in the darkness, who may burst out at any time and cause immeasurable damage.
In the charge just now, at least more than 2,000 soldiers died, and hundreds more were injured. Traffic chaos and rollovers caused by frightened animals were countless.
Seeing the heavy losses of his troops, General Ramsay was trembling with anger and yelled: Assholes! These Luskan bastards are so scared that they dare not fight us head-on! They specialize in such shady and despicable methods. ! Let all the knights gather at my place immediately. If they dare to do it a second time, I will let them see what the iron fist of justice is.
As you wish! General! The scout quickly bowed and quickly delivered the order on horseback.
In less than twenty minutes, a group of knights composed entirely of elites gathered together, staring vigilantly at the dense forests on both sides of the road.
Just as General Ramsay expected, when the knights gathered, the Wolf Cavalry disappeared and did not appear again for a whole day.
But the problem is, whether you are a knight or a war horse, you need to eat and rest.
When they took off their armor in the evening and sat on the ground to eat something, the Orc Wolf Cavalry appeared again.
Just like last time, they took the initiative to avoid those elites who seemed untouchable, and specifically picked out ordinary citizens and farmers who were temporarily recruited to kill. They even drove them to attack the formation of veterans. If they could break up, they would follow and kill them. If they couldn't, they would chase them. Just retreat immediately.
At this moment, even the most idiot can see that these orcs riding wargs are not here to fight at all, but to damage the morale of the coalition forces by launching surprise attacks, leaving ordinary soldiers in a state of panic all day long.
If the conspiracy succeeds, even if he successfully reaches Neverwinter City, he may not be able to defeat Luskan, who is waiting for work.
Magic! We need the help of magic now! Immediately let the military mage monitor the movements of the forests on both sides 24 hours a day. Once there is any sign of the enemy approaching, send an alarm immediately. In addition, divide the army into two halves, and when one half rests, the other Half are responsible for security. General Ramsay pondered for a moment and then immediately issued a new order.
He knew that although doing so would increase the fatigue of the soldiers and seriously slow down the march, there was no good solution so far.
After all, harassment-based tactics such as raid warfare are still very effective in modern wars, not to mention in the relatively primitive and backward Faerûn continent. Even if the sneak attack is unsuccessful, it can greatly increase the psychological pressure of the opponent's soldiers.
Especially when the enemy is watching and hiding in the dark, and may rush out at any time to launch a fatal attack, it is definitely not a pleasant feeling.
Hey! These guys have been fooled! You! You can send a message to Lord Gar, saying that the master's plan has been successful. It won't be long before these weak guys will become our prey. Hiding in the woods, peeking at Waterdeep City The allied orcs grinned and gave instructions to their companions behind them.
