Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1926 Changing Tactics
The wolf riders leading the way were just a feint. Just as Blackridge was about to give the signal to send out another hidden force, he suddenly stopped.

[Wait a minute, we've clashed with goblins several times before, and they wiped out the goblins. Could it be that they've already learned our tactics from the goblins' intelligence?]

Recalling their brief encounter, it was as if their opponents had completely controlled their every move, which made it hard for Black Ridge not to have doubts.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Black Ridge did not hesitate and immediately adjusted its tactics, while simultaneously sending out a signal.

Upon hearing the signal, Steel Teeth, who was left behind, was taken aback.

"What's going on? The searchlights on the other side are working fine, so why are they suddenly sending out attack signals?"

"The situation must have changed, and they adjusted their tactics."

The kobold chieftain, who had been silent all along, spoke for the first time.

During this time, seeing that Steel Teeth was clearly hesitant, she couldn't help but tease him.

"What? Is Chief Steel Fang afraid?"

"Afraid? Would we be afraid?!"

Steel Teeth couldn't stand the slightest provocation and jumped up in anger on the spot.

But the kobold chieftain didn't say anything, just glanced at him, and then led his kobold troops into action.

He didn't say a word, but that one look was worth a thousand words, infuriating Steel Tooth, who had nowhere to vent his anger. In the end, he could only fiercely lead his Badger troops into a charge.

At the same time, Barbarian Bone on the field also noticed the change in tactics and realized that the flank battlefield that the werewolf tribe was responsible for was probably in trouble, but he didn't care.

The Badgers, led by Steeltooth, were the troops deployed to the front lines.

If the boarmen were the front line of this orcish alliance, then the badgermen were their main force on the front lines.

With the main force entering the fray, the boarmen would be able to share the frontal firepower, so Barbarians naturally wouldn't have any objections and would even be happy about it.

These actions quickly exposed a large number of Badger soldiers to the searchlights of the Great Zhou.

However, the dwarven machine gunners responsible for the main battlefield were not in a hurry to switch fire; for them, suppressing the boarmen was their primary task.

During this period, the Badger Men troops, which were not suppressed by hand-cranked heavy machine gun fire, advanced rapidly and even overtook the Boar Men who had started their operation earlier.

Faced with this situation, the Zhou infantrymen, who had been waiting behind the defensive line with their guns drawn, stepped forward.

Although they don't have the night vision of dwarf soldiers, there's no need to worry about accuracy at this time. They can simply overwhelm them with sheer numbers, form ranks, fire, and empty their magazines.

At that moment, a dense hail of bullets poured directly onto the charging Badger soldiers, the scene was one of blood splattering everywhere, but the Badger soldiers who charged into battle did not fall easily.

In some ways, badgers are even more robust than werewolves and can withstand more firepower, which is the main reason why they can be deployed on the front lines.

At the same time, Wei Qing, having confirmed the latest intelligence, quickly realized a problem.

"The orcs have changed their tactics!"

Before this, thanks to the goblins' intelligence, the orcs' tactics were almost no secret to them.

While tactics may seem to have many variations, they are fundamentally the same. However, the same tactics, with just a slight adjustment, can cause trouble for the other side.

Take the Orcs' tactics as an example; it's still the same dual-core tactic as mentioned before.

However, by adjusting the order and timing of attacks, the opponent's moves become unpredictable. From which side will they launch their follow-up attacks? This uncertainty forces you to constantly be on guard, which is the most exhausting part.

Take the present as an example. Wei Qing knew from the very beginning that the first wave of wolf cavalry was a feint attack, meant to draw their fire and test their response.

Therefore, when the dwarven gyroplanes entered the field, half of them did not carry out bombing operations, but waited to bomb the main force of the opposing wolf riders.

Now, the main force of the opposing wolf riders has stopped coming out and instead sent badger troops into the fray to put pressure on the main battlefield.

Wei Qing understood that the other side wanted to use this tactic to force them to return to the main battlefield, thus creating an opportunity for the flanks.

But this was a classic example of a calculated strategy; the Badger army's advance was surprisingly efficient, greatly increasing the pressure on the main battlefield.

In this situation, tell me whether you'll provide support or not!

If you don't provide support, the front lines will be in danger.

If you provide support, then the flank of the battlefield will be in danger.

The opposing team always manages to find some opportunities.

In the brief moment Wei Qing hesitated, the Badger Men troops, advancing with fierce momentum, had already rushed into the bombing range of the Great Zhou garrison.

Needless to say, almost simultaneously, the dwarven bombardiers lined up immediately swung their arms and began throwing grenades.

The grenade flew out in a long parabola, exploding the instant it hit the badger group. The violent blast, carrying shrapnel, turned the badgers within range into a bloody mess.

If it were a human soldier, or even any normal race, in this situation, they would either wail in agony or struggle to survive.

However, these badgers did not play by the rules at all.

They were covered in blood and mangled beyond recognition, but as if enraged by the attack, they roared and sprang up from the ground.

At the same time, the totem patterns on his body also lit up.

At this moment, their blood seemed to boil, and they roared as they launched an even more frenzied charge towards the Great Zhou's defenses!

"That's an orc totem?!"

This was the first time Wei Qing had witnessed the power of the 'Orc Totem' in actual combat. Without time to think, he hurriedly ordered the dwarven gyroplanes to support the front lines.

In a war, the main battlefield is always the most important because it is where the main forces of both sides converge.

The troops on the flanks are mostly tactical or functional.

Under this premise, even if you do something amazing on the flanks, if you can't shake the main force on the front lines, then all your efforts will be in vain.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wei Qing decisively chose to stabilize the frontal battlefield defense line at this moment.

The dwarf gyroplanes flew over the battlefield, providing highly efficient support.

Upon receiving the order, the dwarven pilots who arrived over the battlefield immediately did not target the badger soldiers who were covered in blood and charging at the forefront of the orc army.

The pressure on their garrison came from the continuous influx of orc troops from the rear, not just from the initial wave of badger-men charging forward.

In this situation, cutting off the source of the problem is a more drastic measure than a head-on attack.
