Summoning Total War

() After the sun sets, only half of the moon and the faint stars remain in the sky.

Gossas, a Frostwolf stick out his tongue and an blood stain on the corner of his mouth, beckoned to the back of the team, and then a few quick-witted Frostwolf assassins followed. Just now, they ran into a little trouble. Two of their companions were attacked by creatures who didn't know what they were, and they were killed on the spot!

This is a dense forest, and it is also a dense forest within the Karazhan Mountains.

According to the news from the wind slaves, Karazhan Hurricane Pterosaurs were active at a distance of only 50 kilometers away from them.

Even the elves dared not traverse this dense forest at will. They wanted to cross from here to the hinterland of Athens, and of course they had to pay a price for it. Although I don't know what attacked him, according to the accumulated experience of Gossass and Frostwolf, it felt that it should be a shadow leopard, a black, very agile creature that is good at hiding sneak attacks.

"Don't fall behind, don't worry about it!" Gossas and Frostwolf shouted to the whole team: "As long as they walk out of this dense forest, they won't follow."

The Shadow Leopards all act with one male and two females, which means that the normal Shadow Leopard population is one male and two females. In such a dense forest area, although there is an advantage in numbers, facing such an extremely agile creature Gosath-Frostwolf is still an unusual headache! Fortunately, these creatures generally move in the jungle, as long as they go out to the plains, they are not a trouble.

The few hapless ones who were just attacked were all left behind and killed by the Shadow Leopard in one blow!

It was completely dark.

The Wind Slaves didn't have many problems flying away in the dark, but it was impossible to continue investigating them to provide intelligence.

The Gosath Thunder Wolf can only move on with the simple map left by the Wind Slave Scout. The so-called abbreviated map is actually a few symbols, which mark the approximate distance and direction of travel.

This time the orc empire's aid, in addition to a large amount of equipment, has not provided three bladed wind slaves.

But now there is only one left.

One lost the news when he went to the Athenian territory to investigate, and the other was unlucky while advancing and encountered a hunting Karazhan Hurricane pterosaur. These **** hurricane pterosaurs, they have such a strong sense of territory, all the large creatures that enter their airspace will attack as long as they are seen, and they will almost never die!

The Orcs lost little when they captured the Canyon Pass, but the real war in Athens had not yet begun, and the trump cards in their hands were two less.

Two wind slaves died in one breath, and the girl of the half orc airlift army had to be reimbursed.

There is no way, the Orc chief can only order Gossas and Frostwolf to lead a troop across the dense forest and bypass the back of Athens.

The only remaining wind slave acts as their sky guide and guides them.

"Go faster! Fool!" Gossass kicked a Frostwolf on the **** of a fallen orc warrior, and roared: "If you are left behind, I will leave you to feed the beast!"

There is no road in the dense forest.

There are low bushes and vegetation all around, and their progress has been greatly affected.

But luckily it was almost here. According to the signs on the map, as long as you cross the river in front and walk about five kilometers, you will be able to get out of this **** dense forest.

The night wind howled.

The Gosathlei Wolf walking in front of the team seemed to see a vague black shadow leaping on the left side.

As a battle-tested warrior, Gossass and Frostwolf almost unhesitatingly pulled out the throwing axe from his waist and threw it out!

howl!

There was a cry of wild beast in the forest.

Gosas Thunder Wolf looked excited and walked quickly with a few guards.

The throwing axe chopped down on a big tree.

However, a pool of blood was left on the tree, and on the ground there was a tail cut off by a throwing axe. The color was gray-black, which was difficult to distinguish in the dark.

"Bah! This will make it run away!" Gossas spit on a Frostwolf, drew the throwing axe from the big tree, and then drove towards the team.

It has no time to create a **** and delay it for too long here.

Tomorrow morning at the latest, the army of half-orcs will attack the fortress, and it must go out as soon as possible to arrange the next tasks.

"ambush!"

Cavalry is much faster than infantry.

What's more, the army of half-orcs had to pass through the dense jungle, so even though Murphy came out later than them, he reached the destination first.

With the "Total War" auxiliary system, Murphy can judge the direction and destination of this orc army based on the icon changes on the strategic map. After judging the surrounding terrain, Murphy immediately decided that the whole army would lie in ambush behind a high slope.

In front of this high **** is a small river, and this orc army must cross the river to get out.

Murphy didn't need any clever ambush techniques, just waited for those half-orcs to cross the river before attacking.

In that case, they can't escape if they want to run!

"Your Excellency, there is movement over there!" A soldier who had been sent out for investigation hurried back, whispering.

Murphy nodded, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and said, "The longbowman is ready!"

This time Murphy only brought out more than 1,000 people, except for the 560 cavalry force, there were only 480 Cretan longbowmen.

After helping the centaur tribe with food the last time, Mi En sent a batch of horses to Murphy in the second month. The number was not very large, only 500. Budi helped Murphy fully armed the cavalry in Athens.

Now the elite Macedonian cavalry under Athens is one man and two horses, and Murphy himself is in command.

Although the Cretan longbowman can't ride and shoot, there is nothing wrong with riding. Judging by the light spots on the strategic map, Murphy estimated that the number of orc warriors who came around should not exceed 1,000. The establishment of Cretan longbowmen and Macedonian elite cavalry is enough to deal with them. Most of the bows and arrows used for riding and shooting are short bows. Weapons like longbows require a high level of force to pull apart. Unless it is a creature with a special size like a centaur, other creatures cannot attack at all when riding on a horse. !

After about half an hour.

There was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the river, followed by the sound of the river rushing.

It seemed that the orc soldiers had already begun to cross the river.

"Right, one hundred meters." Murphy made a gesture to the general Marcus Kane next to him, and whispered.

General Marcus Kane nodded, and then took the half-organized Cretan longbowman over. This high **** is only about 20 meters high, but the **** is not small, it looks like a bulging hill. General Marcus Kane brought a half-woven Kerry under Murphy’s order. The extra long archer quietly ambushed to the side. His task is to stop and kill those Orc soldiers who want to escape later.

The number of orc warriors who came around was about seven hundred, but they were all well equipped.

Due to the need to traverse the jungle, although they are equipped with leather armor, throwing axes, long knives, shields, etc., they are not equipped with armor.

This is because wearing heavy armor, they might get tired when they walk halfway.

Although the purpose is to go around the rear of the surprise fortress or go straight to the town where Athens belongs, but these half-orcs are equipped with complete equipment. In addition to the sword and shield soldiers, there are also throwing axe players who specialize in long-range attacks. Half-orcs are not good at bows and arrows. They are relatively clumsy in drawing bows and arrows with their inherent larger fingers. This is their inherent talent disadvantage, and it is difficult to improve even by diligent practice.

However, half-orcs have a good talent for weapon throwing.

They are so powerful that they can easily throw the hatchet in their hands tens of meters away. Some elite orc throwing axes have thick arms because of long-term practice. They can even use throwing axes at a distance of 120 meters. Hit the target!

Compared with arrows, the lethality of throwing axe is much higher!

The main infantry of the half-orcs will carry one to three throwing axes on their bodies, pinned to their waists or behind. Before the battle, when the two sides are about 50 meters away from each other, they are thrown in one round of throwing axes!

The lethality is amazing!

This way of fighting is a bit like the javelin throw of the Roman Legion.

There was a sound of splashing pool water.

About five minutes later, most of the orc warriors crossed the river. They gathered by the river, waiting for the remaining companions.

……—……

After walking out of the dense forest, Gossass and Frostwolf felt a lot more relieved.

It looked back at the dense forest and did not reproduce any vague shadows, but in its heart it understood that the shadow leopards had given up tracking, and suddenly felt a lot easier.

"Rest in place!" Gossas Frostwolf said loudly to the orc warriors who crossed the river: "Eat some dry food first! There will be a battle waiting for us later!"

It took Hua a whole day to create a **** before he walked out of the dense forest. Even if the soldiers in the team were made up of the elite of the Frostwolf clan, he couldn't bear it physically. Crossing the jungle is a very troublesome thing, along the way they have to use their weapons to chop off some bushes to clear a path. This greatly delayed the progress and increased the physical consumption of the soldiers.

The orc warriors who crossed the river raised a few fires, surrounded the fire, and roasted the prepared dry food. When it was almost the same, they picked it up and gobbled it up.

Gosath Lei Wolf did not completely relax. The habit he had cultivated all the time made him prepare to send a few agile fighters to check the surrounding environment.

However, the soldiers he sent just walked tens of meters away and fell to the ground with a ‘poof’.

"Enemy attack!"

Gossas Frostwolf clanged and drew out the weapon from his waist and roared, "Ready to fight!"

This army is worthy of being composed of the elite of the Frostwolf clan. When they heard the movement, they immediately threw away the food in their hands and took up weapons to line up beside the orc commander.

But at this time, another ‘Suo Shuo Shuo’ was struck!

The elite half-orcs lined up in front of the fire suddenly fell like a piece of wheat!

The eyes of Gosathlei Wolf suddenly turned red!

The huge anger made it want to tear these sudden enemies into two! But its will cannot dominate the changes in the battlefield. In just a few breaths, another rain of arrows struck, and the elite warriors from the Frostwolf clan died again without seeing the enemy clearly. !

"Extinguishing!"

"Put out the fire!"

Worthy of being a battle-hardened orc general, Gosath and Frostwolf immediately realized that the rising fire provided the enemy with vision.

Under his order, the elite half-orcs extinguished the fire, and then the shield soldiers picked up the square shield and formed a defensive formation on the periphery.

The enemy's position will be revealed early after a lot of fights.

With a gleam of moonlight, it was no longer the enemy's darkness, and the enemy's position was finally revealed by Gosath-Frostwolf.

It's on the hillside not far away.

Shu Shu Shuo!

Another arrow came, but the elite half-orcs who were prepared this time did not lose much.

"Archer!"

Gossas and Frostwolf had good eyesight, and at a glance he saw a row of archers.

All the enemies are archers? wrong!

Is there an ambush?

Gossass Frostwolf looked around vigilantly.

How do those humans know we are here? Do they also have flying mounts that know our intentions?

I looked around.

Gosath Thunder Wolf didn't see other ambushes nearby. The view provided by the night was really limited, and it couldn't dive farther. Behind it is a river, and now there is nowhere to go back. Realizing this, it roared and roared: "Clash with me! The only enemy is archers!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill all these humans!" The orc officer took the lead, and the other elites of the Frostwolf clan also rushed up.

Regardless of whether there is an ambush, they must first kill these archers!

"The reaction is fast."

Murphy looked at the battlefield not far away and sighed softly.

The orc officer had a good combat consciousness, and he knew that he would put out the fire immediately. Without the sight provided by the fire, the lethality of the Crete Longbow was immediately reduced. After all, marksmen like them, if they can't shoot accurately, the lethality caused by concentrated shooting alone is still quite limited. But it doesn't matter, Murphy's scheduled victory in the first shot has been achieved.

Their remaining role is only to attract the attention of the enemy.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters.

Before the elites of the Frostwolf Di clan narrowed the distance, the Cretan longbowmen seized the time to make a three-round salvo attack.

Due to the blurred vision in the dark night, they only shot at a point under the command of the commander, and the damage caused was relatively limited.

When the distance is close to 100 meters.

The Frostwolf clan elite who rushed to the forefront unfastened the throwing axe on his waist and prepared to throw it at the archers standing on the hillside.

But the enemy immediately made a move that stunned them!

Those Cretan archers actually put away their weapons and ran towards Sa Yazi below the hillside.

The enemy just ran away?

What should I do now?

chase?

Still not chasing?

Anyone who has played "Total War" knows that the Cretan archers, as a long-range arm with powerful lethality, have very limited melee capabilities. Of course, this is just a euphemism, in fact, the melee ability of the Cretan archers is very weak. Whether facing infantry or cavalry, there is no resistance. However, as a top unit, the Cretan archer has two other very awesome abilities!

That is [Fast Move] and [Good Endurance]!

Yes, move fast.

Crete's bow and arrow running ability is called the "Rome Total War" infantry first!

Out of the famous run fast.

It can be said that in the entire "Total War in Rome", except for the four tuǐ, most of the two tuǐ walking on the ground can hardly catch up with them.

As soon as they ran, the elite half-orcs who had worked so hard to rush up the hill were dumbfounded.

The enemy was dressed lightly, with only one piece of clothing on him, and hardly any equipment that could affect his movement. When they finally rushed up the hillside, the archers had already run far, and the distance was extended by nearly two hundred meters.

Not waiting for the elite half-orcs to catch their breath.

At this time, another arrow fell from the side of the hillside.

Those elites of the Frostwolf clan who managed to run up the hillside suddenly became a bunch of live targets, and they fell down again!

There are enemies!

Following the visual advantage of the hillside, Gossas Frostwolf suddenly had a group of enemies ambushing on the side of the hillside.

What should we do now?

Where to chase?

This kind of problem has severely devastated the brain of Gossas Frostwolf!

Before it could figure out how to deal with it, the Cretan longbowmen who had just evacuated and ran off again stopped under an order. They set their arrows on their bows, aiming at the elite Frostwolf clan on the hillside, and another arrow came.

Wow!

A dozen orc warriors fell to the ground with a howl.

at this time!

Gossas-Frostwolf finally realized that ~www.readwn.com~ there is almost no way for these enemies who can't catch up or can't run.

Before the enemy's side had been reached, he had lost nearly half of his manpower first!

Gritting his teeth, the anger in his heart almost drove Gosath-Frostwolf crazy, but he still delivered an order with great difficulty.

"retreat!"

Gosath-Frostwolf knew how not to leave now, and would be consumed by all these cunning enemies later. But at this moment.

Under the cover of the night, the earth trembled slightly, followed by the sound of galloping horses' hoofs!

immediately!

A piece of cavalry came surging like a black torrent!

There was a trace of despair on the face of Gosathlei Wolf. (To be continued
