Chapter 264: A Tired Soldier's Plan
As Moy had speculated, the elven archers who came and went like the wind just fired a few waves of arrows at the defenders around the camp gates, and after taking the lives of a few troll sentries and orc coolies, they quickly retreated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A group of troll warriors who tried to pursue were also dumpled by a large group of elven archers who suddenly appeared, which made the other troll generals who had been slow down not know whether they should be happy or depressed.
To the frustration of the defenders, it didn't take long for the retreating elves to make a comeback.
Moreover, the interval between each attack of the elves, the direction of attack, the number of attackers, and the duration of the battle will be different, forcing the defenders guarding the gates of each camp to wait for the arrival of the elves with full attention and waiting.
Because if they don't, the defenders who have slackened will soon be hit by the sudden appearance of the elven archers, and they will suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, as long as the defenders who still hope to save their little life, they have to widen their eyes with serious dark circles, and pay attention to the movements around them nervously.
The defenders, who were too nervous, even accidentally injured friendly soldiers due to some unusual noises.
After this situation had been going on for some time, the state of the defenders at the various camps had deteriorated quite severely: the fatigue of the guards, who had to stay up late because of the need to keep vigil, almost doubled over time.
What's even more troublesome is that the orc laborers who are woken up every time they are attacked, but can only stupidly watch the elven archers hide far away and shoot arrows at them, killing and injuring countless orcs, and the limit of their patience has gradually reached the limit. There have even been a few cases of exhausted orc laborers who would rather be killed by the overseers than get out of bed when they heard the horn sound.
The rebellious orc laborers also roared vigorously: "If you go, you will stand and wait for death!" If you don't go, you'll be killed! Then you might as well kill us! That way, at least we don't have to be woken up by you anymore! ”
After such words spread, the orc laborers, whose morale was already quite low, began to show some signs of trying to rebel.
Among the troll generals in the middle and lower levels, there are still some trolls with brains, and of course they understand that they can't let the situation continue to deteriorate like this. However, these "smart" troll generals are actually helpless when faced with this situation after considering all aspects.
If you want to fight back, the order to "stick to the barracks" is down from above! Before the request for a sortie is approved by the superiors, any general who voluntarily leads his troops out of the barracks, except in the case of pursuing the enemy, will be deemed to have "disobeyed military orders" or even "attempted rebellion". It's okay to say that it is considered to be "disobeying military orders", but if it is determined to be "attempting to rebel", it is a dead end!
Even if the request for an attack was approved by the higher-ups, it would be very difficult to find such an unknown number and assembly location in the field when the dawn was approaching.
At the very least, the troll generals who were aware of this super difficulty did not dare to pack a ticket and say that they would definitely be able to catch the enemy's little tail.
And if they want to continue to hold on, the growing war-weariness of the soldiers is a big problem.
Therefore, after the request to attack was rejected by the big man from above, all the mid- and low-level troll generals got together and began to discuss.
A troll general came up with a crooked idea: those wild monkeys don't seem to have many troops anyway, so let's just give up the camp. If the wild monkeys dare to come up and seize the camp gate, we can rely on the advantage of strength and directly kill them!
The troll general's crooked idea was quite in line with the trolls' appetite, so it didn't take long for a bold troll general to agree to use the idea.
As a result, the camp gate, located on the west side, was soon left vacant. Neither the camp gate nor the arrow tower near the camp gate was guarded by half a troll warrior or orc laborer.
Soon, under the expectation of the troll generals who were waiting for the enemy to appear quickly, the elven archers appeared very cooperatively, and quickly occupied the camp gate and the arrow tower.
Seeing that the time was finally ripe, the troll generals swarmed up with a large group of troll warriors and orc laborers, intending to pour out the anger of the midnight on the heads of the enemy.
However......
After killing a lot of troll warriors and orc laborers by virtue of their geographical advantages, the elven archers did not hesitate to give up the defense line that was about to be breached, and ...... in a dashing manner Ran away.
Only a group of troll generals were left messy in the night wind.
"How can you not follow the routine!"
"How can you just run away!"
"Come back soon! Let's fight for another 300 rounds? ”
"Don't go! Stay! We'll give you the camp gate again!" That's all right......"
Ignoring the colleagues who were yelling at the backs of the elven archers, the troll generals with long brains gathered together with solemn expressions.
"Although I knew that this kind of crooked idea could not be effective, I still didn't expect the enemy to be so decisive!"
"Besides, there weren't many enemies coming this time, almost half of the most! In this way, the other party is likely to have seen through this trap a long time ago. ”
“…… However, judging from their numbers, the number of these wild monkeys really doesn't seem to be much, at most only a few hundred, right? ”
"It can't be counted like that! Until now, we have not been able to determine exactly how many enemies there are...... After all, all enemies look the same to us......"
"It is precisely because of this that we don't know if there are any enemies mixed with the previous batch of enemies among the attacking enemies, so as to estimate the total number of enemies based on this......"
The troll generals all smiled bitterly after glancing at each other.
From the very beginning, they knew that such a small trick would not work, but these trolls with long brains planned to take advantage of this opportunity to get to the bottom of the enemy, so they agreed to implement this crooked idea.
Sadly, the elven shooters didn't leave them with any flaws. From the beginning to the end, these troll generals still couldn't figure out how many enemies there were.
“…… Now that we've gotten there, let's just use the backup solution. ”
A troll general with five criss-crossed scars on his face said this, and the other troll generals all nodded after one look at him.
"I hope this plan can have enough effect."
At the time of separation, a troll general said with a melancholy expression. The other troll generals also nodded with concern after hearing this. (To be continued.) )
