Capítulo 2115: Chapter 971: Encirclent and Interception (Part 2)
But on the Ashanas Plains, which were drenched by the torrential rain day and night, it was as insurmountable as a natural barrier. By the ti their support troops arrived, what awaited them would be a well-prepared Ghost Legion.
It’s better to take advantage of the enemy’s strongest attack thods being restrained and let the other two armies quickly pass through the Ashanas Plains.
Although he is not clear about the specific ability of that High Tier Divine Artifact, one thing is certain, that this kind of large-scale summoning of another plane’s legion into the Material Plane must have many restrictions and cannot be used frequently.
Otherwise, the opposite side would not need to wait until now; when they were trapped by the natural environnt of the Ashanas Plains, they could repetitively summon the Shadow Legion to launch a dinsional reduction attack against them.
General Batumihe’s decision to preserve the main force of the Tukan was wrong from the very beginning.
They shouldn’t have let the Wilderness Shaman use the Earthquake Art to make way, but instead use conventional thods to scout the path, even at the expense of Tukan cavalry lives, forcibly carving out a road.
The Wilderness Shaman tried his best to fight for weather control rights, maybe they would have already crossed the Ashanas Plains.
In the process, the casualties might not have been as high as they are now.
There’s no “if” on the battlefield, wrong is wrong.
We can only try our best to compensate.
One mistake leads to another.
Although under the Wilderness Shaman’s full suppression, the Ashanas Plains are no longer under torrential rains.
But the rain that fell before cannot be retracted.
The road remains muddy, full of puddles and marshes.
The only advantage is that it marks dangerous areas for the Tukan cavalry; no matter how shallow those puddles and marshes appear, it’s best to avoid them and their surroundings.
No one knows whether there’s a tunnel of Burrowing Worms or Shark Lizard Beasts hidden beneath, ready to collapse once they step on it.
This doesn’t an the flat areas are safe; whether Shark Lizard Beasts or Burrowing Worms, they are ambush experts, they excavate their underground nests to an appropriate extent so that they are undetectable from the surface yet can perceive the creatures on the ground, enabling them to launch a hunt.
As the Tukan people began advancing regardless of losses, they suddenly realized that they scared themselves a bit earlier.
The number of Burrowing Worms and Shark Lizard Beasts on the Ashanas Plains was not as high as they imagined.
The hunting zones created weren’t as dense as they imagined, and there seed to be traces to follow.
After all, they are hunters, limited by the number and activity areas of local herbivores.
It wasn’t until they were driven by those Soaring Dragon People from the Far East Territory that their activity trajectory started to beco abnormal, sowhat like a transition to a man-made defense area.
However, the Far East Territory was established too recently, and the area of the Ashanas Plains is too vast. This natural defense line is mainly concentrated to the south.
Upon crossing the middle line, the number of natural traps began to decrease significantly. What they mainly need to confront is the muddy roads caused by heavy rain.
However, this natural environnt obstacle is a two-way street.
The Tukan people cannot gallop in such an environnt, and besides that special Ghost Legion and Ard Ray Fish, ordinary soldiers from the Far East Territory can’t penetrate the Ashanas Plains either to snipe them.
The Far East Territory placed the sniper point at the latter half approaching the Ashanas Plains.
Compared to the overly muddy South Ashanas Plains, the North Ashanas Plains hadn’t seen a drop of rain and is incredibly dry.
When General Batumihe led the exhausted main force of the Tukan Army rushing here, they could see from afar that the Far East Territory’s heavy cavalry was on strict standby.
“I knew it, the Chosen of the Goddess of Strategy wouldn’t miss such a perfect opportunity for a mid-crossing strike!” General Batumihe, seeing this situation, did not feel any surprise. His words were full of sincere admiration for this commander of the Far East Territory.
His application of strategic tactics reached a divine mastery.
Even facing the Yan Khan whose combat strength has surpassed the mundane, he can neutralize and weaken his power to the utmost extent.
Not to ntion, now the battle thod has been dragged into a mundane level.
The power of strategic tactics is even more formidable.
Just by extre use of geographical environnt, they have suffered heavy losses and leveled the strength disparity between the two armies.
Although they’re not literally crossing a river now, the situation is no different.
In the wet and muddy South Ashanas Plains, they cannot form a battle array.
While the dry and flat North Ashanas Plains are perfectly suitable for cavalry warfare, once they flow out from here, what awaits them would be the enemy’s heavy cavalry’s group charge, launching a frenzied slaughter.
They essentially have no opportunity for assembly.
And the Ard Ray Fish that has been shadowing them has also cut off the opportunity for a secret crossing.
“Great Shaman, can we create a rainstorm to the north as well?” General Batumihe, holding on to the last glimr of hope, asked Harchagai.
As long as they bring the enemy into the sa state, the enemy’s advantage would naturally cease to exist.
Harchagai shook his head sadly and said: “Look at the surrounding weather and you’d know, the enemy is well-prepared, this kind of weather manipulation spell highly favors the one who strikes first, whoever acts first occupies the initiative; to seize and change it later would require much greater force.”
