He had obviously retreated, but the enemy had to go back and forth to chase them. Saurfang was surprised at first, then angry. Their tribe wolf cavalry should have been so angry.
I can't catch up with you, and it's okay to be consumed by you. I can always go-if you can't beat me head-on, I dare to chase me, it's really shameful!
In the final analysis, even if they flee when the situation is bad, these orcs and wolf cavalry headed by Saurfang still have their own glory in their hearts.
Now that they are being chased by an army weaker than themselves, how can they be able to withstand this anger?
Immediately, Saurfang led the wolf cavalry and turned again, preparing to fight to the death with the Alliance archers who were chasing them.
However, when the wolf cavalry made a big circle and turned to the direction of the archer, this group of "shameless" opponents also turned around, seeming to be fleeing again.
But they said they were fleeing. In fact, the archers did not drop the wolf cavalry too far, but deliberately kept a relatively short distance, which seemed to be tempting them to pursue them again.
Of course, Saurfang had pursued it a lot, but unfortunately, he had nothing to gain except for being consumed by the opponent's turn around and shooting, and dozens of wolf cavalry killed and wounded.
When things got here, Saurfang should have seen the enemy's true tactics, no matter how stupid it was-not to mention that he was an excellent commander no matter what.
The real tactic of the enemy archer is to keep the distance from the opponent through the mobility of the cavalry, attract the opponent to chase, and then consume the enemy's vital power by turning around and shooting. When the enemy can't bear it and escapes, it will chase.
In the face of such an opponent, his wolf cavalry is now neither advancing nor retreating. If they want to chase, they can’t catch up, but if they want to run, they are chased by the opponent. It can be said that they are caught in a dilemma.
In the end, Saurfang's choice was to leave as soon as possible.
The only way to really deal with these archers is to hide in the city walls or strong camps.
Now Saurfang did not consider a big victory to save Orgrim's reputation. His only hope now is to be able to successfully bring these wolf cavalry back to the camp. This is the greatest victory.
However, with such a good opportunity, how could Ye Ting let them go?
The archers naturally chased the wolf cavalry.
Finally, with the continued continuation of this chasing and chasing movement, the disadvantage of the wolf cavalry in terms of endurance finally manifested.
Their speed started to slow down, but the horses under the hips of the archers were able to do well.
This caused all the wolf cavalry to fall into despair, and the wailing at the end of the team that died with an arrow was like a reminder, foretelling their future destiny. All the wolf cavalry all wished that the wolf had two wings under the crotch, and they could fly directly to answer.
Unfortunately this is impossible.
Rather than facing the enemy head-on when chasing an archer, being chased by an archer is more dangerous for a wolf cavalry.
Neither the wolf cavalry nor the wolf can protect their backs.
For the arrows coming from behind, the orcs basically have no chance to resist or dodge, and the mortality rate has increased greatly.
Even if they weren't dead, these many orcs would be like a gourd after being hit by an arrow, falling down from the back of the wolf, and unable to get up for a long time.
When being chased, the situation was worse than before.
The archers behind will soon rush up, and then use the sharp elven swords or long knives to easily harvest the lives of the wolf cavalry.
Of course, Saurfang managed to escape from Ye Ting's archers in the end, and even the wolf cavalry under his command had more than 2,000 people spared.
However, the real reason for their survival is their number.
More than 5,000 wolf cavalry, this number is not a lot.
Considering the higher patience of orcs, it is more difficult to be killed. Therefore, it is excusable for the archers to fail to do their best.
However, even though Ye Ting and his archers were not completely victorious in this battle against the wolf cavalry, the influence of this battle was very far-reaching.
As far as the archers themselves are concerned, in this battle, they really used this powerful kite tactic on the battlefield for the first time, and in the process carried out actual tests and corrections on the tactics, and corrected many novices. Mistakes, I believe they can use this tactic again in the future, they can play a greater lethality.
In the tribe, this war also caused a considerable shock to the orcs.
The wolf cavalry lost more than half, and the important Bodgor camp was destroyed. Of course, Orgrim's prestige was greatly reduced, and the ambitious generation under his command began to move around.
However, Ye Tingjun's own shock to the tribe temporarily suppressed the potential chaos of the tribe-the spearhead was pointed at this unprecedented and invincible archer for the time being.
With this army running in the Arathi Highlands, the tribe finally realized that it is not so easy for them to occupy this land for a long time and establish effective production and rule.
Orgrim also saw from then on that there was no danger to defend. He had considered sending a large number of troops to station in the Arathi Highlands to prepare for another raid by the Alliance.
However, after this victory, Ye Ting accepted it when he saw it, and directly led the team back to Thoradin's Wall to rest, which made the tribe rush to the air.
In fact, he also saw the situation facing the tribe. Now he is temporarily withdrawing troops. On the one hand, he took into account that the tribe should react to it and left the tribe to avoid being targeted by the tribe.
On the other hand, he also wanted to slow down the pace of the entire war and slightly reduce the external pressure on the tribe, thereby detonating the chaos within the tribe.
This potential chaos has always existed in a society where the tribe respects the strong. They will choose the strongest as the leader, but if the leader continues to face failure, then the leader will lose prestige and eventually cause a struggle for new dominance.
Chapter 0567-Sword Pointing to the Hinterland
The victory of Ye Ting and the archers not only caused some waves in the tribe, but also in the alliance.
Although the archer has always existed in the past, most of them are horse archers. The archers who are truly as regular as the nomad archers of the earth have not shown his heroism in the history of Azeroth—perhaps Is this because there are no nomads in Azeroth?
In short, in this battle, Ye Ting led a thousand early rangers in the district to act as archers, stirring up the tribe’s rear enemy lines, and defeating wolf cavalry who were several times as powerful as them in the confrontation. It was so brilliant. The record shocked the nations of the alliance. The archer is also considered to have entered their eyes.
However, when carefully analyzing how Ye Ting formed this provisional army, those enthusiastic human kings discovered that it is too difficult for a soldier to be able to shoot arrows proficiently at once, and it is not that these countries will be able to complete it in a short while. Task. You know, most of these human kingdoms are based on agriculture or fisheries, and do not have the riding skills of nomads, nor do they have a large number of rangers who are proficient in archery like elves.
As for Quel'Thalas, there are plenty of rangers. As long as King Anastrian is willing, he can build several times as many archers in every minute.
But the king didn't care too much about it.
It is not difficult to understand that Quel'Thalas itself is a densely forested country, and the interior of the country is completely unsuitable for archers to fight, and the high elves themselves have a limited population, and Quel'Thalas has no desire to expand at all, so the establishment of such a There is a high probability that a troop is of no use.
In addition, Quel'Thalas has already reached the point of being ecstatic in the pursuit of magic. Basically, it is inferior to all. Only magic is high. The improvement of the archer’s combat power to the ranger is not placed in the rule of the high elves. In the eyes of the reader.
In short, for the archer that showed off his talents this time, the alliance party basically couldn't form it. Those who have the resources to form the archer didn't like the archer. Therefore, in the end, it did not have much impact on the military composition of the alliance, but Ye Ting himself. His prestige has increased again, and as long as the war continues, he can basically be regarded as the second in command of the alliance.
After this battle was over, Ye Ting rarely entered the idle time.
At present, the alliance is still in a strategic defensive situation. As long as the two points of Thoradin's Wall and Stromgarde are guarded, he does not need to take action in daily defensive battles.
So he took Jaina from Lordaeron and taught him by his side.
On the one hand, even though life in the barracks is much harder than in the Royal City of Lordaeron, at least the effect of his personal teaching is better.
On the other hand, he also wanted the young Jaina to see the orcs with her own eyes and see the harm they caused to the Alliance, so as to avoid the girl who did not personally experience the disaster brought by the orcs as in the original book, but only saw the failure with her own eyes. As a result of the suffering of the orc, he adhered to the concept of equality of life, and his **** crooked to the side of the orc as the invader.
For a genius and opinionated girl like Jaina, it would be more useful to let her experience it in person than blindly teach it.
A few weeks have passed since such days.
Among them, Ye Ting spent most of the time with Jaina, and only once led the group of high elf archers into the Arathi Highlands to light up a statue, but that time made the tribe tense, and the trees were all soldiers for a long time.
In these weeks, the tribe’s strategy for Stromgarde and Arathi Highlands has been slow to advance.
