Early the next morning, Stone wrote a long reply letter for the carrier pigeon to bring back.

Accompanying it from Ironforge were Hawkeye and his Death Creepers, tasked with finding the beastmen's tracks in the direction described by Ayidinus, and then watching their every move as before.

Judging by the stone, these hoof monsters have received enough supplies from the Chaos Dwarven Caravan, and they should still lurk in place for a while, waiting for the battle in Fetanburg to enter a stalemate, and then suddenly appear and change the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the "Broken Claw Tribe" still has some time to prepare, and what he needs to do now is to use this time to conduct targeted training for his children before receiving a reply from Rep.

Regardless of whether he joined the war in the end or not, Stone also decided to train his boys, especially the bow and arrow boys.

The archery skills shown by those elite spider riders in the last battle are too painful, you can imagine the level of other ordinary archers, but the stone does not expect them to improve the accuracy of archery in a short period of time, the only way is to start with the formation.

Well...... Stone finally found that the biggest problem now is that there is no formation when fighting......

It can only be said that the previous battles were all petty fights, and the enemy was either the same unorganized and undisciplined green skin, or he occupied an absolute disadvantage, and he could solve the problem by swarming up, resulting in many shortcomings that were not exposed, plus the stone himself did not have the experience of commanding troops to fight, like encountering centaurs, he also occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, but also lost a lot of people, which only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem.

If you want to fight the beastmen like this, even if you win in the end, you will lose all the money you can't save up.

Although they don't have any formation tactics to speak of, the problem is that everyone is elite, and the number will only be more and not less, and the stone has seriously thought about the comparison of the two sides' troops, and if you want to win a beautiful victory, you must work the formation.

Don't underestimate the role of formation, in the era of cold weapons, it had an almost decisive effect on combat. Especially for archers, if there is a reasonable formation, coupled with excellent generals to command, the power exerted is definitely not to be underestimated.

This is also the biggest weakness of the green skin.

The vast majority of greenskins fighting wars are like the underworld grabbing turf, with no technical content at all.

The process of their battle is that when they find the enemy, the boss gives an order, and the most capable orc boy rushes forward in a swarm, and the goblin boy follows behind to pick up the cheap, occasionally put a few cold arrows during the period, and then leave it to fate.

Good fate, you can hack the opposite side to death and win, life is not good, once the boss who rushes to the front hangs, the whole team immediately collapses, and begins to swarm to turn around and escape, the whole process basically has no formation and tactics at all.

This is why the well-trained Bretonnian knights, as soon as they arrive at the Frontier Prince's Domain, can beat more than ten times as many greenskins as they are.

No matter how many hooligans there are, they have to kneel when they encounter the police, not to mention that they are professional soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, unless they have an absolutely overwhelming numerical advantage, they have no fight at all.

Now the stone has finally discovered this problem, although his experience in his previous life was limited to street melee, but he has still seen movies and played games, and knows a little about some basic military concepts.

Although there is not much time left for him, but the green skins have no formation to speak of anyway, as long as they train a little, it will change a lot, especially the archers, they are the most dependent on the formation, and the goblin boy's brain is also the best, as for the orcs, the stone thinks it is better not to waste precious time on them first.

Shi first personally led five hundred goblin archers to practice a simple formation for a day, and after figuring out the most basic position, he immediately entered the actual combat drill.

Just talk about theory or something, and the most important thing is actual combat.

This is also where the orc boys come in handy, as the stones call all the macho men of the Kicking Tooth to act as imaginary enemies, and they act as attackers, starting from a distance of 500 meters, while the goblin archers shoot in a newly learned formation.

Of course, if it was just a target, the orcs would not be happy, so the stone allowed them to hold a wooden club, as long as they could rush in front of the archers, they could play freely, well, if they didn't kill people.

The weapons of the goblin archers have also been specially treated, you must know that their arrows are quenched with poison, and it is not a joke to shoot them, so they all wrap the arrows in thick sheepskin, anyway, as long as the orcs are shot, they must fall down and play dead, and wait until the next round of charging to resurrect.

At first, the orc boys liked this new game because they could easily rush in front of the goblins and beat them to tears.

What about the goblin kids? In order not to be beaten, they had to keep in mind the teachings of the leader, how to stand, how to shoot arrows, and unconsciously began to develop a certain military quality.

However, within a few days, the situation changed, and the orcs found that it was becoming more and more difficult to fight their way out of the encirclement, and even if they consciously avoided the arrows when charging, they would always be shot by some feathered arrows at tricky angles, and they could not be guarded against.

This is the role of the formation, but the stone is not satisfied, you must know that this is 500 archers against 100 orcs, and killing without damage is only the most basic requirement.

So he began to gradually increase the difficulty, first adding 100 goblin cannon fodder to the attacker, then 100 goblin spearmen to the defender, then 100 Squigg jumpers to the attacker, and 100 spearmen to the defender.

In this way, the strength of the two sides was gradually increased, and after five days, all the troops in the tribe joined this fun game, and they had a lot of fun.

This is what the stone wants to achieve, no matter how simple the tactical theory is, it is to play the piano to the cow for the greenskin, and the best way is to let them fight, and you will know when you do more.

The goblin boys know when to start shooting, at what angle to shoot, and how to stand, but if they can't learn it, they'll be beaten.

The orc boys learned how to dodge the arrows at high speeds, and some even picked up wooden shields that they had previously disdained, and when they found that the leader did not stop them, they quickly spread to everyone.

Goblin spearmen also know the importance of the battle line when defending, and they are not as close to collapse as they used to be.

All in all, in just a few days, the boys of the Broken Claw Tribe have changed from the most ordinary street hooligans to a slightly more decent recruit.

During this time, in addition to training his subordinates, Stone also had to keep following Lei Ping's message in Fetenburg to grasp the news there.

As soon as a large number of beastmen appeared outside the city, the lord of the city, Matthew Halifax, immediately declared martial law and sent cavalry to call for help from the surrounding towns, although he knew that it might not work.

All the soldiers were sent to the city wall, and the major mercenary groups in the city also received the task of helping to defend the city, and the forgive mercenary group was also among them, but for the time being, they did not have to fight on the front line, but only as a reserve.

The battle had now entered a stalemate, and the soldiers of Fetenburg had clearly begun to show signs of weakness due to their lack of strength, but because of their homes and relatives behind them, their morale was still very high, and with the tall walls, they repelled waves of attacks by the beastmen.

Unbeknownst to them, another force of beastmen on the horizon finally began to move and slash at their unsuspecting back.

About twenty days after the start of the war, Stone received a new letter and immediately told his boys to assemble and prepare to go!
