Chapter 162 The Enemy Appears

When it comes to dealing with the ferocious orcs, no general in the empire can surpass Ouhuimans. His Western Legion is almost entirely for killing orcs and protecting civilians. The battle was about to start, and Ouhuimansi also had a normal expression, and he was able to manage freely, even vaguely looking forward to the early start of the battle.

All the troops in the northern army responsible for the support were under the command and dispatch of Ohuimans.After some reasonable arrangements, the 1 men of the heavy armored cavalry corps where Lin Xi belonged was divided into two parts, 5000 men fought with the main force, and the remaining 5000 men were assigned to the [-]-man squad, which was evenly distributed with soldiers from other arms. Match and go to various villages to be responsible for protecting villagers and food.

Fatty Wei Suo was assigned to the main force, and was able to fight the orcs head-on, while Lin Xi was assigned to the hundred-man squad.

Putting on the armor and stepping on the Stormrage Steed, Lin Xi's [-]-man team started to set off quickly under the leadership of a middle-aged majestic man.The hundred-man squad consists of infantry, light cavalry, and heavy cavalry. In order to speed up the march, the infantry also rode on horses.

The majestic man was a light cavalryman with beards all over his face. He rode a tall black wildebeest and rushed to the front. On his left was a young man with a map in his hand. He was wearing light soft armor and had a white face. No need, sitting on a Stormrage horse, it looks like an adjutant.

Lin Xi walked in the middle, and only looked at the two people a few times before setting off.The leading man obviously lived in the battlefield for a long time, with a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, exuding a strong fighting spirit, while the adjutant looked much weaker. Although he was wearing armor, he was majestic, but his face was white without being thin. Even sitting on a horse He also tightly grasped the rein with a pair of white hands without calluses, which seemed a little unnatural. Compared with the soldiers with chilling eyes and straight backs around him, he seemed to have never been on a battlefield. After making this judgment, and from the adjutant's eyes, he saw a hint of evil.

At this moment, the adjutant asked worriedly: "General Gordon, this time we are going to protect the villagers in the village farthest from the station. I heard that there is a vast area and a lot of food is grown there, and the orcs have always plundered the food. Important target, we only have 100 people, wouldn’t we be in danger if we encounter a large number of orcs? I once again request the command to increase troops.”

When he said this, the adjutant did not notice the dissatisfied eyes of the straight elite soldiers around him. What soldiers value most is honor, and what they desire most is victory. If the adjutant is not a civilian and If there is some background, these soldiers will definitely protest and immediately drag him off his horse on the charge of disturbing the morale of the army.

The bearded general Gordon's face sank slightly, and he obviously didn't like such a suggestion, but it's not good to fight among himself before the battle begins, so he explained patiently: "Adjutant Naya, please Don't worry, our [-]-man squad is carefully selected from the large army. All of them are elite soldiers and strong generals. Moreover, the villages to be defended are far away, so the orcs may not send a large number of members to grab food. What you heard The claim may have been misrepresented.”

Only then did Naya feel better, and the worry on his face faded a lot, but then he asked like a man who had never fought: "Since we are ahead of the orcs, we must have arrived at our destination The orcs won't arrive yet, why don't we slow down the speed so that everyone can have a rest?"

The soldier following behind him heard Naya's words again, and he couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression on his face, clearly saying, "I'm afraid it's because you can't stand the bumps of the mountain road and want to rest by yourself?"

"The military situation is urgent, time is life, we can't delay. Arrive at the village one minute earlier, and the villagers there will have an extra guarantee. Pass my order, and the follow-up troops will follow up and prepare to speed up!"

Naya didn't say a word, and glared at Gordon with a gloomy face. She felt very uncomfortable, but she could only follow.

There are many mountains in the west, and the terrain is undulating. Although there is a map in hand, you will not get lost, but the journey is still extremely difficult.The rugged mountain road is bumpy and narrow, and many places are small paths walked by villagers and woodcutters. Some places are even covered by bushes due to the lack of people passing by. You have to move forward with a machete.Even so, it took more than five days for the [-]-member team, which never made unnecessary delays on the road, to arrive at the destination near noon.

What came into view was the rolling mountains. At the foot of the mountain, a small river meandered through the village. The flat land was reclaimed by hard-working villagers, and the fields were criss-crossed. At this time, the grain had been harvested.

Scattered around the fields are low bungalows, built entirely of mud bricks and covered with straw and reeds on the roof, extremely simple and extremely poor.

In this place with mountains and rivers, the villagers should live and work in peace and contentment with rich products, but because of the year-round harassment of orcs, they have become miserable.The villagers are very reluctant to live such a life of fear, but there is nothing they can do.Abandoning the fields here, there is no place outside for them to build a new home and replant food to solve hunger.

The fields here are their most precious property. They can survive only by harvesting food. If the orcs invade, even if they escape, they will face the situation of starving to death because of the food being looted.Therefore, these industrious and honest villagers will also change their identities during the war, becoming guardians with sticks and hatchets, who will only guard the fruits of their hard work for a year.

When they saw the [-]-man team appear, the villagers all smiled and ran over one after another.The regular army of the empire has come, and there is no doubt that their lives and property are also heavily guaranteed.

After talking with the villagers for a while, after learning about the surrounding terrain and determining the route for the villagers to escape in case of distress, Gordon acted resolutely and quickly explained the discipline of the army. Stay in touch with each other and be ready to support teammates in distress.

After making these arrangements, the soldiers quickly surveyed the terrain and set traps to prepare for the battle, regardless of their fatigue.Under the leadership of the group leader, a thin, tall middle-aged man, Lin Xi traced the river up to the foot of the mountain, and then ten people began to cross the mountain.Most of the dozen or so villages are concentrated in this valley, but on the other side of the mountain, there are still two villages that need to be protected.

Fortunately, the high mountain seemed unattainable, but in fact there was a trail extending along the foot of the mountain. It took only half an hour for ten people to reach their destination on the other side of the mountain.

According to the report obtained from the owner of this small city called Wacheng, these are two small villages, but after Lin Xi entered, he found that even the two villages had only eight households, and the distance between each other was less than a kilometer. Four households, four households down the hillside.

"Action!" The thin man immediately issued an order.No matter how small the village is, as long as there are villagers living in it, it must be taken seriously, and there must be no carelessness.After setting up observation posts, preparing weapons, making traps and bunkers, and gathering the villagers of all eight households together, the ten people were ready to fight.The soldiers will do everything possible to protect the property and food of the villagers, and after ensuring the safety of the villagers, they will kill as many orcs as possible.Because it is impossible for the army to stay here all year round, in order to prevent the escaped orcs from coming back to plunder, killing them all is the best way.

As one of the two observation posts in rotation, Lin Xi is lying on his face in the cold grass. His hair is wet with dew, and his face is sticky. In the middle of the night in early autumn, some bugs even flew onto his face. , making him feel numb and itchy.

Even though it was almost dawn, Lin Xi still didn't dare to be careless, her eyes were fixed on the front.If the remaining nine people and all the villagers can sleep peacefully, he must do a good job of observation.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and gradually, the thick fog began to fade away, and birds began to chirp and chirp around, the sky gradually brightened, and in a blink of an eye, the east was exposed.

It was early in the morning, and in less than half an hour, the observation task would be handed over to another comrade-in-arms, but Lin Xi's pupils, which were staring closely at the front, shrank sharply!

About 500 meters ahead, a row of tall figures are quietly advancing towards here!

Enemy!Lin Xi stood up quickly, ignoring her sore and swollen body, and ran back to the village to report the news to the thin man.

"Assemble!" The order sounded quickly.

Ten people quickly put on their military uniforms, put on their armor, and took their weapons. The cavalry had no choice but to give up their horses under the terrain conditions, and ran forward with their spears.

The ten-man team quickly hid their bodies in front, while the gathered villagers ambush around the houses with the big knives and iron bars issued to them by the soldiers.

In wartime, everything can be used as a weapon, and all manpower can be used as a combat force!

But at this moment, the sound of fighting came faintly from the other side of the mountain!

"Quick battle!" The thin man said without hesitation. Right now, he needs to deal with the enemies in front of him as quickly as possible before rushing to support the large army.

The ten people attacked quickly, like a swift cheetah, using their understanding of the terrain to cover their figures, they began to move forward quickly.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and the specific identity of the row of figures can already be seen, and they are orcs!About fifteen four-legged orcs with horse body and human face are approaching with huge maces!

"Let's make a sudden attack first, kill as many orcs as possible, and then follow my order to retreat quickly and use traps to kill a few more. We are more familiar with the terrain, so we must make full use of it." The thin man lurked in the dense forest and said in a low voice.

Lin Xi tightly grasped the sky-blue giant sword Lanyan, his eyes were full of excitement, the time of battle was coming, and he was ready!
