Chapter 167: war(7) (1/2)

Rudra had a strategy to win the war , however it was a very risky strategy. In his previous life , this strategy was used by a group of one hundred solo adventurers to fight against an horde of 3000 men .

The strategy was later called the ' Bow and Trishul ' strategy. Which was infamous because of how often it failed horrendously.

The entire bow and trishul strategy is based on the three trishul heads , the three heads must have absolutely strongest players holding the position as when any one of the three trishul heads collapse the formation would become worthless.

The bow in the bow and trishul formation reffered to the long range attackers or in this case the pirate ship docked 25 meters off the coast loaded with 50 cannons and 2 archballistae's.

When the enemy was in range , they would find themselves with a barrage of aerial attacks that would leave them without an answer. Also the remaining wizards who stood right at the edge of the beach , also made up part of the bow unit.

The assualters made up the trishul unit , three single lines of soldiers made up the trishul formation , advancing and retreating as a single unit.

The distance between two lines was 2 meters , and the distance between those standing back to back within the same line was 1 meter.

The idea of using the formation was to force the opposition to break their ranks and attack in undefined files. Once an attacker slips past the trishuls head , it can instantly be dealt by player two behind him , or player 3... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ....

The formation only worked if the tips of the trishul worked perfectly and in sync with each other. The entire idea of the trishul formation was to attack strategically and make the enemy bleed , while gaining a steady retreat to recuperate from injuries , should the enemy give chase , they would find themselves under a barrage from the bow formation.

With the promise of safe retreat , all they needed to do was relentlessly push and retreat while dwindling enemy numbers.

The creator of this formation was a god in indian mythology who was deemed as the god of war because of his outstanding achievements in the battlefield.

And now Rudra chose to use it , making Neatwit the rightmost tip , himself being the most important central tip and Karna being the left tip.

He explained his plan to the guild , as the members gave their complete support to the idea.

While the general plan was to attack and retreat , there was an underlying scheme hidden within this battle strategy , and that was Rudra' s masterstroke and his great equalizer.

A trap within a trap , that if executed correctly would lead to the Alliance's downfall!

( Meanwhile at the Alliance's side of the camp)

Scorpio had regained a little bit of peace of mind after he calmly assessed the war situation.

They still had fifty thousand people left in their corner. Although loosing 200,000 men was a tough blow to take , they still outnumbered the Elites by a huge margin.

Agreed they had the wierd pirate ship off the coast , mounted with the despicable arrow shooting machine. However there was a limit to what it could do with such a huge distance.
