****************
After listening to Pan Deli's introduction, Xiao Feng could also realize that this time the orc coalition was much more rigorous than the one they encountered in the Calabash Canyon in the southern section.
There are a lot of people, and according to Pan Deli's investigation, there are all races. This should be similar to what they had guessed before, that they should have found the python prince Qu Kaichen as the supreme commander.
In the Orc Alliance, the most important thing is rank and blood. In this gourd canyon, only Qu Kaichen has such an identity and status, integrating all the scattered Orcs together.
Moreover, the other party's arrangement was obviously designed after careful consideration. It can be said that this trap was designed to be seamless.
If an army in the cold weapon era encounters such an ambush without any preparation, it will basically be annihilated. Unfortunately for them, they are unlucky because they encounter Xiao, who has thousands of years of military experience ahead of them.
Feng, and the Riverrun army he led had begun to restructure their minds with modern thinking.
After Xiao Feng listened to Pan Deli's introduction, he called Bloom and Kyle over. Together with Pan Deli, the four of them simply held a small combat meeting and explained their ideas for the war...
It was already afternoon, and there were still two hours before the sun was about to set. However, the Riverrun army that had already entered the central basin had no intention of setting out yet. This made the half-dozen troops waiting in the mountains and forests wait outside the valley.
The orc army is very impatient.
Qu Kaichen was also worried. Did the other party discover something? Otherwise, why was there no movement?
Is it possible that they discovered our ambush and didn't take action? But what if the other party doesn't march forward? Is it possible that they just keep spending it here?
He was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface, because he knew that as a general, he couldn't be anxious. Many of the leaders of the orc tribes around him were reckless men without professional military training.
If they see that he is also anxious, they will inevitably become more excited. Maybe these idiots will lead their men directly into the canyon to fight with those humans. In that case, all the battle plans he made before will be scrapped.
Already.
So after thinking about it, the best way at the moment is to wait and compare the patience of those humans to see who can bear it first.
The tauren Karagur was squatting under a small tree and was bored. He and his catapult team had been hiding in the woods for several days. In these few days, their life could be said to be worse than death.
I really don’t know what those noble gentlemen are thinking.
The temperature difference between morning and evening in this canyon is very large. During the day, due to the transpiration effect of the big river, the water mist is shrouded and the air is humid and sticky. They tauren love to sweat, so they are very uncomfortable with such a humid environment.
, because they were in ambush and did not dare to move much, and even though they were sweating, they could not break out. Several brothers got strange illnesses because of this, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and now they are lying on the ground unable to get up.
It was very cold at night, and the quilt I brought with me was damp and uncomfortable when I put it on me. In addition, due to the restrictions of the mountainous terrain, I couldn’t set up a tent, so I had to sleep in the wild. The stones on the ground were so rough.
Everyone couldn't sleep well.
What's even more frightening is that all kinds of nasty mosquitoes are constantly flying around and sucking blood, causing everyone to have a nervous breakdown.
He looked at the position of the python archers not far from their catapult team with some envy. He really envied these cold-blooded guys, because they are cold-blooded animals, and temperature changes seemed to have little effect on them. The most enviable thing
Yes, those damn mosquitoes don't dare to bother them at all.
Once they fly close to these pythons, they will spit out snakes, and the mosquitoes will become snacks in their mouths.
"It's time to eat, go and get the food!"
Karagushan, the captain of the catapult team, came from the distant mountain forest and shouted to the members of the team in a low voice. Karagushan lazily stood up and prepared to walk to the gang leader's barracks in the grove.
.
After walking only two steps, a figure suddenly stood up from the side and got off the Karagol Road. He turned around and saw that it was Karagul Moore, the porter of their catapult team. The members of this catapult team were all close relatives.
.
This Karagumol was tall and strong, but he had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and Karagumol smelled the first odor on his body.
"Mader, Karagum Moore, you damn guy, why don't you choose a farther place to poop? I don't want to step on your shit."
But Kara Gumol smiled with a thick face: "Don't worry, Brother Gur, I dug a hole and buried my shit."
"You disgusting guy, can you stop saying such disgusting things while eating?"
"Hey, I didn't say it first, it was you who mentioned it first. By the way, Brother Gur, what do you think today's meal will be? It won't be rough pancakes again. This piece of shit will last me a few days.
My shit feels so hot in my ass.”
"You bastard, how many times have I told you not to bring up pooping during meals."
Karagol said to his cousin angrily, but this time his cousin did not reply to argue with him, which surprised him. You must know that Karagol is also a famous talker and a talker. This time
Why didn't he reply? When he looked up again, he happened to see a scene that made him jaw-dropping.
A short arrow shot from an unknown place happened to enter the front of Karamuor's throat and emerged from the back of his neck. At this time, he was holding his neck with one hand, and blood continued to flow from his mouth.
How can one still speak when they are gushing out?
"enemy..."
Before he could say the second word "attack", Karagul felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw a gleaming arrowhead emerging from his chest.
He felt that his body was getting cold quickly, and he staggered forward, trying to find rescue, but the last scene that caught his eye was indeed the location of the Huotou military camp, a scene of people falling on their backs.
There were drunken orcs everywhere. From the dense forest around them and from above their heads, arrows kept whizzing in, and every arrow would hit an orc.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Finally, the fateful orc who didn't know he was shouting loudly, Karagul finally let out a sigh of relief, and then fell hard to the ground.
But even after receiving the warning, those orcs who had been focusing their attention on the march across the river would not have thought that they would be attacked by a counterattack.
Those cunning humans actually gave them a flank attack and killed them from their right side.
These humans are very cunning. They use the terrain and trees as cover, and while jumping forward, they constantly fire arrows towards the orcs' positions.
Because the orcs' positions were designed to face the road on the other side of the river, and there was not much protection on the right flank, the humans were caught off guard.
Moreover, the dense mountain vegetation here has also become a disadvantage that hinders the performance of the orcs.
The slopes of the mountains are not large, but the vegetation is dense. It is difficult for the orcs to form formations like fighting on the plains, and the lush forests and bushes also limit the effectiveness of the orcs in combat.
Their speed and strength, hampered by such dense vegetation, would hardly be half as effective as on flat ground, and those human soldiers were also very cunning.
Their short stature has become an advantage in this mountain forest. They are faster and more flexible. After shooting an arrow, they often run and jump back and hide behind another tree. This makes it difficult for the orcs to accurately target them.
Counter-shooting.
What's even more frightening is that there are blows from the top of the head. From time to time, the poisonous bee archers on the road will shoot poisonous arrows from the dense branches of trees. These poisonous arrows will kill you if they hit the target. What's more, the orcs don't even think about it.
I don’t understand, shouldn’t these poisonous bee people be with them?
How could they shoot arrows at themselves?
It can be said that the sneak attack of these damn guys is impossible to guard against, and it is even more difficult to counterattack them. These poisonous bee people are short in stature, good at flying, and extremely fast. In this dense forest,
It almost makes it their natural home ground.
From time to time, they appeared among various tree crowns, and the poisonous arrows they fired from sneak attacks were extremely difficult to guard against. In less than ten minutes, hundreds of orcs had already fallen to their poisonous arrows.
If it were just a sneak attack by humans on the ground, the orcs could still resist. After all, they had a numerical advantage. But once there was a threat from above like the poisonous bees, they would not be able to withstand it.
The catapult teams of tauren and pig-headed men are the main force in ambushing humans, and the python longbowmen are also one of the main force, but they are better at long-range strikes.
This dense forest environment is very unfavorable for the performance of the python longbowmen. In the time they bent their bows to shoot one arrow, the human mountain infantry and poisonous bee archers had already shot three arrows.
With such a contrast in firepower density, these orcs who were ambushing in the dense forest soon began to riot, and then their formations were in chaos, and some even began to retreat backwards.
These terrain restrictions are too great for them, and many of their advantages cannot be used at all. In addition, these soldiers are not elite troops in the first place, they are just temporarily recruited militiamen.
Before bringing weapons and coming here, many of them were still farming in their hometowns. Their tactical literacy was not high, let alone military discipline.
After continuously paying heavy casualties, the riot trend gradually expanded and even evolved into a collapse trend. Although several low-level officers were already calling loudly to organize formations, when these officers were knocked down by the poisonous bee shooters, this
Chapter completed!
