Chapter 164 The Intent of the Enemy Army

Shengxuan sat down unhurriedly, lit up the oil lamp, and poured a glass of water for Reg, "Brother sit down first, eat something, Mumu and the others are staring there, I think we will know the opponent's intentions soon." The situation."

Reg nodded involuntarily, "What are you going to do?" "What else can I do? It is a great thing for us to encounter a small group of sneak attacking troops. You must know that many of us soldiers have never experienced war. , Only after the baptism of blood can they really grow, so I decided to wait until all the sneak attacking enemy troops come down from the cliff, and we will quietly hang behind them. Once they attack the outpost, we will suddenly attack from behind. Charge, at this moment their attention should be all on the attack of the outpost, we will sneak attack from the rear and form a pincer attack with the outpost, I believe that after two rounds of charging, they can be completely killed."

Hearing this, Reg couldn't help but shook his head, "Your thinking is a little too simple. I think at your age, you should have never led a soldier, let alone experienced a big battle. You must know that in a rapidly changing battlefield, any A small mistake may cost the lives of all soldiers, so,,,"

"Could it be that big brother is afraid? You have to know how important courage is to a warrior? If a warrior doesn't have the courage to rush into the enemy's line, then no matter how strong his martial arts skills are, what is the difference between him and a farmer?"

"Courage is important, but you can't be blindly confident. You must be the one who regrets that. Didn't you also say that you should know yourself and the enemy? Why do you suddenly despise your opponent so much now?" Shengxuan's words just now surprised Reg. , There was also a hint of anger in my heart.

"Hehe, what should we do in the opinion of the eldest brother?" "Since you have sent people to contact the Qianfeng Battalion, then we will wait until the Qianfeng Battalion sends people to come, and then two pincers will definitely wipe out these enemy troops."

"The Vanguard Camp? There are at least a hundred miles away from the Vanguard Camp. By the time they arrive, the outposts may have been completely destroyed. What if the people we sent didn't reach the Vanguard Camp? The Vanguard Battalion is also busy with the enemy's sneak attack. What should I do if I can't divide the troops to help?" Shengxuan's several questions in succession made Reg fall into deep thought.

"Yeah, since the enemy can think of where to sneak attack, why is there no back-up preparation? If they really send troops to attack the vanguard battalion at night, then it may be difficult for the vanguard battalion to send troops to support. Upton in Gonzas City is a He is quite a scheming guy, and that Fred under him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, they must have a careful plan, I am afraid this time the forward camp is really dangerous." Reg looked at Shengxuan, then shook his head, "I I didn’t expect the enemy to organize a sneak attack from where, it seems that the Calais are really eager to win this war, and even abandoned their previous combat style.”

"Battle style? How do you say that?" "The people of Calais value honor more than life, so in the hundreds of years of wars, they almost never used this method of sneak attack, but chose to fight head-on. , like a samurai duel."

This remark reminded Shengxuan of the gauntlet that those Calaisians had written to him back then, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Stupid, the way of using troops is a deceitful technique, as long as it can win the victory, any means can be used. What honor is there?" , Why do you want to fight? Only the winner can have honor, and the loser can only be cast aside."

Reg frowned when he heard this, but instead of arguing, he continued to ask, "Then what are you going to do?"

"It's too early to say anything now, let's wait for Mumu and the others to pass the news back. What we have to do now is to recharge our spirits, eat and drink enough, and beat their asses hard." He picked up a piece of dry food and threw it into his mouth and began to chew slowly.

The night was unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear the faint sound of sand shrinking in the cold wind in the middle of the night after being baked during the day. Reg couldn't help standing up at the same time, and glanced at each other, "The wood is back."

After a while, Mu Mu had slipped into the tent, picked up the kettle from the table and drank a few sips, and then began to say, "The enemy army has already descended from the cliff, and there are about 2000 people, including hundreds of archers. , and the rest are infantry."

"Okay, very good, can you judge their strength?" Sheng Xuan continued to ask while thinking about the countermeasures, "I think it would be good to be able to get down from a cliff of more than 200 meters and reach out."

"It's too dark, we can only judge from the weapons in their hands, but this enemy army may be troublesome." "Oh? How troublesome?" Reg asked hurriedly.

Mumu looked at Reg and then at Shengxuan, with a hesitant expression on his expression, "Just say what you have to say, why are you still hesitating?" "I'm afraid of making a wrong judgment, so..." Shengxuan heard this Can't help but smile, "It's not bad to be able to judge the number of people in such a dark canyon. You can make bold guesses about the others, even if you are wrong, it doesn't matter."

"I suspect that those archers are from the Yellow Ape Clan, and those infantry are from the Stone Roar Clan, so..." Before Mu could finish speaking, Sheng Xuan jumped up "What? You said hundreds of Yellow Ape Clan bows and arrows Hands? What is the origin of the Shihou Clan?"

Back then, he and the tyrant Weiner had already been entangled with dozens of yellow ape archers, and today they felt dizzy when they heard that there were hundreds of yellow ape archers.

"The Stone Roar tribe is also a branch of orcs. They are naturally good at climbing, and their speed is extremely fast. Although they are not as powerful as other orcs, they are far superior to us in agility, and they also have a natural skill, which is not a beastman. , but petrochemical."

"Petrification?" "Well, it's like your earth magic, master, which can enhance your defense. Once petrified, ordinary fighters can't hurt them at all."

Hearing this, Shengxuan's heart sank. Hundreds of archers from the Yellow Ape tribe are already very difficult to deal with. In addition to these dexterous monkey-like warriors from the Stonehou tribe who are talented in petrochemical defense, I am afraid that this The battle is really hard to win.

Reg also looked sad after hearing this, but he looked at Mu Mu thoughtfully, "Mu Mu, I know you are the orc royal family, can't you come forward and subdue these orcs?"

"This," Mu Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, but it was more of a kind of helplessness. He couldn't help looking at Sheng Xuan, as if asking for his opinion, and Sheng Xuan hurriedly said, "Brother Reg is not an outsider. Speak up and it will help us."

"Although I belong to the orc royal family, there is no such thing as an orc royal family anymore. Since thousands of years ago, the Calais have controlled the entire orc clan. They destroyed our sacred totem and drove all the powerful race of orcs into the frozen swamp. Since then, many orc races have broken away from the control of the royal family, and even many races have defected to the Calais and become their lackeys. In turn, they cruelly persecuted the orc brothers. The lackeys, sooner or later, I will exterminate these two races."

Mu Mu's words completely extinguished Reg's thoughts. It seems that the changes among the orcs are far more complicated than what he knew. As a result, the Yellow Ape Clan and the Shihou Clan became Mu Mu's deadly enemies, and the two sides met even more jealously. Where can we still talk about subduing?
"What are the weaknesses of these two tribes?" Shengxuan asked unwillingly, "Speaking of weaknesses, although the Yellow Ape tribe is good at bows and arrows, their melee combat ability is very weak, and their defense is also very weak. If they are not petrified, they are quick and powerful, but their physical defense is poor. Once petrified, although their defense ability is improved, their speed is greatly reduced, and their eyes and throats cannot be petrified. , I think this should be their weakness."

After hearing this, Shengxuan thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, in this case, I think there is still room for this battle. Let's deal with those annoying archers first. As long as we lose the support of long-range firepower, I think those petrified stone roars The family will not be sufficient."

But Mu Mu's words poured cold water on their hearts, "Master, there is one more thing I'm not sure about, whether I should say it or not."

"Just say it." "I feel that there are still people on the cliff, because it is too dark to see clearly, but I feel that there seems to be the smell of orcs, and I am afraid that there are orcs ambushing there."

"There is another orc lying in ambush?" Sheng Xuan couldn't help but exclaimed, but after thinking about it carefully, it should be so. If the sneak attack fails, they must retreat back the same way, so they will definitely arrange for a group of people to meet them, but this group of people How many people are there?What race?These are all unknown.

But at this moment, Reg was thinking about another question, "Sneak attack in the middle of the night, and the attacking hundreds of miles is the vanguard battalion. Could it be that their purpose is to attack from both sides? A team of thousands of people wants to fight against a team of hundreds of thousands. It may not be enough to see what harm the forwards have caused, so why did they spend so much effort on this sneak attack?"

"Even if we hadn't guessed that there would be an enemy sneak attack in advance, if they attacked the outpost, the defenders in the outpost would definitely light up a beacon, so that the vanguard battalion would be prepared, and there would be no surprise attack at all. After all, what are they for?"

Reg was muttering to himself while bowing his head in thought. After a little thought, Cheng Xuan said, "Maybe they are not planning to sneak attack on the vanguard battalion at all, but want to cut off this dark canyon here."

"Cutting off the canyon? How is this possible?" Reg just said this, and his expression changed dramatically, "No way, this,,, this is too bold."

"Bold? Well! It is indeed a very bold idea. It seems that this sneak attacking enemy intends to seize the outpost instead of attacking the vanguard battalion. As long as they can stop the rushing army here for a period of time, even if it is only a few days, the vanguard battalion may be defeated. It will no longer exist. Although it is very risky to say, it is very likely that none of these troops responsible for sneak attacks and blocking can survive, but they can wipe out [-] of our army at one time. This loss is insignificant compared with the hatchback. If If it were me, I would definitely do the same." Sheng Xuan couldn't help feeling a little admiration for the opponent's commander from the bottom of his heart.

Reg nodded. "It seems that the forward battalion is really dangerous this time. What are you going to do next? Are you planning to attack this enemy army?"

"Brother, you are from Oma, what would you do if it was you?" Shengxuan didn't answer but threw the question back. With the lives of [-] soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion, even if someone is sent to contact the garrison at the rear now, it may take a day at the earliest for the reinforcements to arrive here, and at this moment the Vanguard Battalion may have already been attacked.

"I'm not very worried about the more than 2000 enemy troops. After all, there are at least [-] people stationed in the two outposts of our army. What I worry about is what kind of troops they will appear in the back. The army in this canyon It can’t be fully unfolded, if it’s really stuck here, I’m afraid,,,,”

"Wait, what did brother just say?" Reg was taken aback by the question, "Huh? I mean, I'm not very worried about the 2000-odd enemy troops." "No, I'm just asking you the last thing you just said ?” “The army can’t be deployed, it’s really going to be blocked here,,,,”

"That's right, here comes the map." As he said that, Sheng Xuan stretched out his hand towards Reg, and the latter hurriedly took out the map, and Mu Mu also hurriedly cleaned up the small table and spread the map on it. Turn on the light and start to look carefully.

Finally, behind the sentry stronghold not far in front of them, a narrow area came into view. The cliffs on both sides of the bank here are so steep that it is impossible to set up a camp, but the distance between the two banks is only a few hundred meters. With a stone wall, thousands of people can resist tens of thousands of troops.

Chengxuan watched carefully for a while, and then pointed firmly, "I think their goal is here, and among the follow-up troops, there must be Chongkai warriors, and there are enough slaves, the most important thing is a group of mages. "

"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Reg leaned forward to look carefully at the terrain, and Chengxuan couldn't help but smile confidently, "Brother, what can you see? The canyon here is only a few hundred meters wide, like a gourd mouth The reason why I say that the follow-up troops are heavy-armored fighters is that if you want to stop the army, you must have heavy-armored fighters. Coupled with the powerful magic attack of the mage, in such a narrow area, the army may be like ants. For any action, in order to complete the blocking, a strong fortification is needed here, and there must be a group of strong slaves, and these people can also serve as soldiers after building the fortification."

Reg nodded, but set his eyes on Mu Mu, as if he was asking whether there is a family of wooden orcs who are good at building fortifications. Mu Mu looked a little unnatural, but he still didn't understand what Reg meant, and Chengxuan laughed beside him. "Wood, is there someone in your orc clan who is good at building fortifications?"

"There is indeed such a family. They are the Rock Rat Clan. Although they are called Rats, they are all tall and burly. The reason why they are called the Rock Rat Clan is because they are good at digging rock walls and like to live in groups in caves. Large swathes of rock can be dug out."

"That's right, first attack the outpost with dexterous fighters, and then let the follow-up troops climb down the cliff and build fortifications here to block the reinforcements. This commander of Calais is really not an ordinary guy."

"This is a compliment to myself, hehe." Although Reg was joking, he admired Sheng Xuan very much in his heart, "Now that we know the intentions of the Calais, we can't sit idly by, but this battle will be very difficult , I am afraid that our fallen leaves will also suffer heavy losses after the First World War."

"I don't think so." Sheng Xuan couldn't help smiling, and then looked at Reg with a little secret, which surprised Reg, "Why? You already have a way to eliminate this enemy army?"
