381 Battle of Taniguchi
I have opened a new book. I am playing a live broadcast in the fairy world. Please help me collect it and give some recommendations! Thank you, all book friends!
*****************
The commotion in the canyon certainly attracted the attention of a coalition of orcs waiting outside the canyon.
"What's going on? Is it possible that there's already a fight inside?"
"Did those humans fall into the trap?"
"It doesn't sound like it!"
There was a lot of discussion in front of the military formation for a while, and Qu Kaichen, who was waiting on the viewing platform at the back, was even more impatient at this time. What happened in the canyon?
He was just about to take a picture of the messenger and go over to take a look, but he saw a lot of black shadows running out of the dense forest on one side of the canyon. After taking a closer look, those guys who ran out turned out to be orcs.
Moreover, the image of these guys is not very good. They all look like their butts are peeing. They obviously suffered a defeat in the dense forest.
Code, bastard, what's going on?
"Haros, take a few people over quickly, capture some people and come back to ask what's going on?"
Qu Kaichen loudly greeted the centaurs beside him and said that centaurs are faster and it is best to leave this matter to them. He must figure out what is happening on the battlefield ahead as quickly as possible.
Haros, the centaur, led several of his men and quickly rushed to the battlefield ahead. After a while, he captured two tauren and returned to Qu Kaichen with the python man.
Looking at the miserable orcs, Qu Kaichen felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he held down the handle of the knife at his waist.
"You guys tell me what happened in the valley?"
"Those humans suddenly rushed over from our right wing and kept firing arrows. Our brothers couldn't resist them."
"Yes, sir."
"Asshole, you can't even defeat human archers in the woods?"
Qu Kaichen felt like he was so angry that his blood vessels were about to burst. Since when did orcs become afraid of humans? Even if human archers can shoot accurately, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"But sir, there are not only human archers, but also many poisonous bees. Those damn guys, I don't know what happened, went crazy. They haunt the forest, cooperate with those human archers, and attack us.
Attack. It would be fine if it was just a ground attack, but as you know, those poisonous bees are so unpredictable and always firing poisonous arrows that the brothers will not be able to resist..."
One of the python men lowered his head and answered, and after hearing his answer, Qu Kaichen stopped talking. Last time, the ape-man general returned with a huge defeat at the foot of River Run City, and suffered a lot of casualties.
Among them, they did not explain clearly the rebellion of the Venomous Bees, because they could not figure out the situation, so they just assumed that the war was in chaos at that time, and the Venomous Bees were in disarray, so they launched an indiscriminate attack.
After all, Orcs and humans have sworn hatred, so they don't believe that the Venomous Bees would betray the Orc Alliance and join the humans.
But this time these soldiers said that they were actually attacked by poisonous bees in the woods, so they had to think deeply about it.
"But even so, this is not the reason for you to break up and run away!"
Thinking of this, Qu Kaichen's face changed suddenly. The battle was imminent. These deserters did not obey the command and collapsed. This was something that greatly affected morale.
There is no need to ambush in the canyon. It won't be long before the humans rush out of the canyon. These defeated troops will only disrupt the orc army's formation and destroy the morale of the army.
So these people cannot be kept!
Qu Kaichen suddenly drew his knife out and swung it several times. The deserters were either chopped into two pieces on the spot, or their heads were chopped off directly.
"If anyone dares to take a step back on the battlefield today, this will be the fate!"
He killed several deserters, established his authority and shocked the whole crowd, and then called the centaur leader to come to him.
"Haros, take some tauren and pig-headed men to the foot of the mountain to collect broken soldiers and organize them. When people come to rush out later, send them as dead soldiers. The first wave will rush up to fight.
Countercharge. We will not tolerate deserters or cowards here. Today is the time for them to be loyal to the alliance. If anyone disobeys the command, you can kill him on the spot."
Qu Kaichen was furious. At this critical moment of a life-and-death battle, he would never allow these orcs to disrupt the formation of the army here and lower the morale of the coalition forces.
Because he knew that the soldiers in this coalition army were not elites who had experienced battles for a long time. Many of them were farmers and herdsmen before. Once the morale of those defeated soldiers was reduced, it would be difficult to fight this battle.
Haros took the order and turned around and rushed forward to sort out the broken troops. At this time, a large number of broken troops had gathered at the pass of the canyon. Due to the terrain, they could no longer escape northward.
Because following the mountain to the north, there is a cliff with a height of a hundred feet. If they want to escape, they must cross the river from the narrowest river at the mouth of the canyon to the right side of the river.
The orcs who set up an ambush here earlier set up a pontoon bridge on the river. However, the number of people that could pass through this pontoon bridge at a time was limited, so the orcs that kept coming from behind were crowded on the river.
A ball.
As for the resistance behind, no one organized it at all. The gap between civilians and elite soldiers is reflected here.
Although all of these orcs are tall and powerful, not all of them are born to be elite warriors. Most of the elite orcs who had fought against Xiao Feng and the others on the battlefield were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Most of these orcs who were driven out of the mountain forests by the mountain infantry were simply militiamen who had undergone simple training. They usually transported some materials, worked on logistics, or were brought to the battlefield when the wind was blowing. They could also be of some use.
Now once it collapses, it will immediately become a mess, and it will become a headless fly. The soldiers can't find the officers, and the officers can't contact the soldiers. Coupled with the fact that different groups of orcs do not lead each other, this group of orcs has already
It was a complete mess and completely lost its leadership and organization.
Haros the Centaur was also very anxious when he saw the scene near the ferry. He could see even from far away. Orcs were constantly being squeezed from the pontoon into the river by the guys behind them. There were even some cowards who were actually in the river.
Crying for father and mother by the river.
Haros is a veteran of hundreds of battles and has participated in countless battles against humans. The scene in front of him made him extremely heartbroken. These damn idiots have really disgraced the orcs.
Not only did they have no resistance at all on the battlefield, but they also did such shameful things. In his opinion, these bastards deserved to die.
When he thought about the human army that might rush out of the canyon behind at any time, he speeded up again. He wanted to get there as soon as possible to organize these poor bastards and launch a defense.
There is no point in living for such rubbish. We might as well let them die at the mouth of the valley. They must not be allowed to withdraw anyway.
He rushed to the bridge and without saying a word, he drew his knife and chopped down several tauren and pig-headed men who rushed towards them headlessly. He even chopped down a few python men to the ground.
This has caused public outrage. You must know that the orc tribe is very particular about class, bloodline, and ethnic group!
Centaurs are not a high-level race. At best, they are a little higher than tauren and pig-heads, but not enough to determine their life or death at any time.
Not to mention the python people, they are a higher-level ethnic group than the centaurs.
And this Haros actually slashed to death at the ferry with a knife, killing more than a dozen pig-headed men, tauren and even python men. How could this make these orcs not angry? In their opinion, what this guy did was...
It is definitely the following crime.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy, you bastard?"
"I'm going back to find Mr. Qu Kaichen, you bastard, just wait for death!"
"Draw it up, let's fight this bastard."
There were constant shouts and curses at the ferry, but Harros didn't care at all, and continued to slash with his sword. He would chop down whoever screamed the loudest, and soon he chopped down more than a dozen orcs.
Now the orcs at the ferry finally became honest. They also saw that this guy was completely crazy, and they no longer believed the nonsense they said about ethnic groups and bloodlines.
"You bastards, who allowed you to retreat? Where is your commander? Do you know that if you retreat like this, you are deserters, and I can execute you at any time..."
When Haros saw that the situation was almost over, he shouted loudly that the deserters who had fled back would no longer mention their bloodline, ethnic group or level.
Because they all know that they are deserters, and the Orc Alliance is very cruel to deserters. If they retreat casually without orders from their superiors and become deserters, there will be no good consequences.
The better ones are those who ransacked their homes and used them as slaves and could still save a small life. Those who memorized the ideas were executed on the spot or thrown into the mines.
They know best what their situation is, so they are silent now.
"Now, all of you line up. Those with weapons are in front, and those without weapons are in the back. Those in front are dead, and those in the back pick up their weapons and continue to charge. Your task today is to guard the mouth of the valley and prevent the human army from rushing out.
..."
Haros ordered his troops to dispatch his generals, and soon the orcs began to form a battle formation, with ten levels of queues, each team having about fifty people, walking neatly towards the mouth of the valley.
In the distance, Qu Kaichen looked at the advancing Orc phalanx and finally felt a little more comfortable. If the ambush in the valley failed, he would have to face it head-on.
There were five hundred people in the battle formation in front, and Haros was still organizing the orcs who had crossed the river to join the battle formation. With so many people, even if they were piled up at the mouth of the valley, it would be enough for the humans to kill them for a long time if they wanted to rush out of the valley.
Not that easy.
Chapter completed!
