The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 180: Persuading Surrender in Progress

It rarely rains in the Great Wilderness, and even cloudy days are rare. But as if the Great Wilderness sensed the impending war, it became cloudy once again.

Early in the morning, there was no rising sun over the coastline and the clouds were very low, making people inexplicably irritated. Many soldiers swore after getting up.

This was not because of the weather, but simply because the ground of the alluvial plain was too humid and there were many mosquitoes. Not only did they not sleep well that night, but they also got rashes all over their bodies. They felt pain and itchiness in their armor, but they couldn't scratch and it was very uncomfortable.

The people of Cattail City did not expect that the first round of attack on the greedy humans would be launched by these insignificant little lives on the alluvial plain.

Captain Jacob looked at the elf defense line five miles away and said, "Although the master has already talked about the defense here yesterday, I still have to say that the elves really don't understand any military common sense."

The flatterer on the side quickly passed on the message: "Captain, what do you think the elves should do to defend against our attack?"

"As long as their Grand Mage doesn't take action, we will definitely be unable to defend ourselves, no matter how we defend ourselves."

"That's right. Jacob's cavalry is famous in the mercenary world. This time, there are two other mercenary groups to help. Under the command of Captain Jacob, how can a mere elf outpost defend against the attack of the three major mercenary groups?"

Captain Jacob nodded and said, "That can't be said. It's not that we are too strong, but that the elves are too lazy. Ten thousand years ago, they relied on magic and bows to dominate Gryn. Ten thousand years later, they are still the same today. This doesn't make sense.

However, the terrain here is still very conducive to defense. As long as they retreat to the distant wasteland and dig a moat below, they can still cause us a lot of trouble.

This is why I say they don’t understand military affairs.

Not only did the elves not retreat to the wasteland, they also set up a thin line of defense on this alluvial plain. How can they defend against the charge of our heavy cavalry? !
What's the use of relying on those chevaux de frise alone? As long as the armored warriors approach with their shields to destroy the chevaux de frise, our cavalry can rush to the wasteland in one go, and no one in the entire outpost will be able to escape."

Captain Jacob was boasting about himself, and Feng Yu was nervously adjusting the battle plan.

Feng Yu had never intended to put Bori, the future crown prince of the Dwarf Kingdom, in danger, but when the war really came, Bori still ran to the front line.

"I understand your intentions, but I'm afraid you've never fought against humans before, and you may suffer from your lack of experience."

Feng Yu smiled bitterly and said, "If anything happens to you, I won't be able to see Dick again."

"I'm not old yet. Besides, you're not afraid, so why should I be afraid? You have confidence in new weapons, and so do I. Besides, I've fought with humans before, so I know some of their tactics."

After saying this, Borri pointed at the humans who were slowly advancing and said, "I guess you set up the barricades simply to defend against the high-speed charge of the cavalry, right?"

Feng Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

"Is this sand wall to prevent grenade shrapnel from injuring our own people?"

"Yes, this place is too flat. The fragments of the grenade might fly back and hurt our own people."

Bo Rui smiled and said, "You may not need either of these two things."

Feng Yu asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

"Because we have no shortage of wood in our camp, you have set up too many barricades, and it is difficult for the cavalry to break through.

These people came to the Great Wilderness for money, not to risk their lives, so they would not risk their lives by crashing through the barricades.

In order to defend against the elven archers, most of the units they brought were heavily armored, and the charging distance of the heavy armored cavalry was very short.

To deal with units like ours that are defending in place, they have to start charging from a distance of one mile, so that when they reach us, the heavy cavalry's speed and physical strength are at their most perfect.

So what do you think they’re going to do?”

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "How should I know? I just know that they have entered the range of the artillery. If you don't finish your nonsense, I will give the order to fire."

Bo Rui said: "Let's fire now. We are a bit far apart, so the coverage will definitely not be perfect."

Then, Borri pointed to the humans and said, "Look, their heavy armored shield warriors are standing in the front row, which means that the first batch of attacks will be led by these armored warriors.

As long as they get close and remove the barricades, those heavily armored cavalry will surely charge into the defense line and cut off our retreat.

Then other teams will follow up and start a one-sided massacre or capture them all alive. It all depends on our fighting will.

But anyway, generally speaking, if this happens, the people in the camp and on the defense line are basically finished, and they won’t even have a chance to escape.”

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "You mean they will keep moving forward slowly, and other teams may even stop 500 meters away?"

“Not necessarily. Seeing how quickly they changed their team formation, they should be able to complete this set of moves perfectly.

That is to say, their armored warriors gradually increased their speed, and by the time they rushed in front of us, the cavalry had just arrived about 500 meters in front of the defense line."

Feng Yu muttered, "This is a seamless transition for me. This is going to float me to death!"

Bori had not guessed correctly. The human mercenary group was very good at courting death. Their shield warriors stopped when they were a mile away from the front line. Feng Yu was about to ask Marshall to give the signal to fire, but he also stopped.

Then Feng Yu and Bo Rui watched the group of humans gathering there, gathering more and more, and becoming more and more dense.

Bo Rui was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, while Feng Yu was laughing. These humans were so considerate that they even knew to gather together to save him ammunition. It was really something.

Feng Yu turned to Marshall and said, "Wait until they have assembled, then immediately give the signal and fire. Extend the fire and plow through their ranks."

Just as Marshall was about to leave, Borri said, "Wait, these humans should have new tricks."

Feng Yu said, "Do we have to wait for them to come up with a surprise move? Wouldn't it be better to just plow the ground with artillery fire?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person from the human side walked out and started shouting.

"Listeners of the elves on the other side, we don't want to kill. Hand over the outpost and the secret recipe for making salt from seawater, and surrender..."

Feng Yu waved to Marshall, and Marshall ran back. Bori did not try to stop him because he was afraid that the human would delay time and come up with some weird tricks to attack them.

The key point is that Feng Yu was too lazy to listen to their nagging. Is surrendering such a simple thing? He doesn't have that kind of courage.

As a good young man of China, he hated surrenderists and traitors the most.
