According to Ye Ting's request, the alliance's army organized into legions of more than a thousand people and carried out a carpet-like clearing in the jungle of Zul'Aman step by step.
Facing the alliance's attack, the Amani trolls regarded it as another futile war launched by the high elves, so they wanted to use old methods to deal with this enemy.
However, they were wrong.
What they have to face is not a sparse army of high elves, but an alliance army of tens of thousands of people from three races.
In the face of such a large and dense army, the traditional hiding and infiltration tactics of the Amani trolls have lost their effectiveness.
They found that although a large part of their enemies were quite unadapted to jungle warfare, they remained quite cautious. They moved step by step and did not covet speed. Instead, they advanced slowly in the jungle, not allowing the hidden trolls to penetrate at all. Opportunity. They are like huge sieves, trying to sift through the Zul'Aman Forest from the border, and all the trolls hiding in it, no matter how good they are at hiding, will be powerfully sifted out in the process.
There are also troll hunters who do not believe in evil and try to hide from the alliance army through superb concealment methods, but they end up either being killed or captured. During the search, infantrymen would thrust their weapons into any suspicious location, including dense bushes, caves, and even streams.
And once a troll launches a surprise attack on the infantry from hiding, they may be able to kill one or two infantry with the sudden attack at first, but then they will face the siege of countless infantry, even if they face this situation. A powerful troll like Zuljin had to flee.
Unfortunately, even if it means escaping, the troll doesn't have much chance.
The existence of the gryphon knights in the sky is to deal with such a situation. Any abnormal situation in the forest will be noticed by them immediately. They will focus on the exposed trolls and pursue them from the air. The storms falling from the sky will The hammer will crush the heads of any troll they can see.
As a result, the trolls desperately discovered that their living space was being compressed bit by bit.
It's not like they didn't think about going out in large numbers and taking advantage of the terrain to ambush the alliance, but this tactic ultimately proved to be a failure.
If there are too few ambushed trolls, they will not be able to cause enough damage to the Alliance's legions. They can often only kill a few unprepared infantrymen at the beginning by throwing spears and throwing axes, and then they have to face a massive counterattack from the enemy. The high elf rangers assigned to these legions will play their role at this time. Hiding behind the infantry, they can easily kill the exposed trolls.
However, a large-scale ambush is even less effective.
The stalker's stealth, or the forest troll's hiding in the forest, is not truly invisible by distorting light like the mage's invisibility. They just use shadows, coverings, diversions, etc. to prevent the enemy from detecting themselves..
Therefore, in front of the gryphon knights patrolling at high altitude, such a large-scale ambush is basically impossible. As long as one or two people reveal their flaws, it is equivalent to everyone.
In the end, the trolls had only one remaining means of response, the alliance to engage in frontal combat.
However, if you want to defeat the Amani trolls in a frontal battle, they are no longer the troll empire they used to be. Their strength is much weaker than in the past. Even if they face the attack of the high elves, they can only go through the jungle. The guerrilla fighting method made the high elves unable to bear the large number of sacrifices and retreated on their own. How can such a troll have the ability to fight head-on with the Alliance?
Although the high elves cherish their own population and cannot bear a large number of sacrifices, humans are different.
Although it is cruel to say this, in fact, compared to the high elves, human soldiers are indeed worthless. If they can exchange them with the trolls, then for the alliance, this is a profit.
Or to put it more clearly, the greatest use of human infantry in this war against trolls is to become cannon fodder.
It is up to them to bear the sacrifices required in jungle warfare, and it is the rangers of the high elves who truly reap the lives of the trolls.
This is also the reason why Ye Ting mixed high elves and human armies.
He was prepared for the human army to suffer losses due to the constant harassment of trolls in the forest.
Use humans to expose the trolls, use elven rangers to kill the trolls.
Although no one knows his intentions except himself, this is the real meaning of this tactic.
However, to his surprise, there were no reports of mass casualties until the Alliance had been deep into Zul'Aman for a week.
Except for the heavy casualties at the beginning due to reasons such as not adapting to the jungle and insufficient tactical adjustment, after that, there were no more than fifty casualties on any day.
According to feedback from the front line, after several failed ambushes and several major blows, the Amani Trolls seemed to have begun to give up on using the Amani Trolls' hidden abilities in the forest to kill the Alliance.
In addition to the scouts, a large number of troll hunters began to return to their base camp, seemingly preparing to accumulate strength and fight the Alliance head-on.
When making this judgment, Ye Ting, as the commander, did not believe it at first because it was so out of character for the trolls.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that such a result seemed reasonable.
The reason why this happened was precisely because of the high elves' previous plan - not to kill Zuljin after capturing him, but to use him to contain the Amani trolls.
Judging from the current situation, the Amani trolls are obviously restrained by this strategy.
In the absence of Zul'jin, the spiritual leader of the trolls, the Amani trolls are leaderless and can only be ruled by Zul'jin's capable subordinates, as well as the highly respected witch doctors and priests in the tribe.
If Zul'jin is still alive, Zul'jin himself can of course decide the strategy of the war. If Zul'jin dies, then the trolls will elect a new leader to lead them.
But now, trolls have to face the common rule of multiple leaders, and no one of them can control everything.
The reason is simple. If anyone can show the talent and ambition to lead the entire Amani troll tribe, how will he deal with it if Zul'jin returns?
However, the result of multiple people voting together is that decision-making is slow and conservative.
When multiple people vote, no one wants to be responsible for failure, so the final result is often the most conservative and least error-prone result.
This is exactly how the current trolls have made the most conservative decision - when attrition and guerrilla tactics failed, they chose to abandon their original tactics and concentrate their forces to fight the alliance again.
However, is this really the best tactic for trolls?
