Chapter 198: Help you kick off
"Only a thousand people came!"
Liu Zhi was very dissatisfied with this number, his idea was to lure out all the main forces of the half-werewolves, and then concentrate their forces to eliminate them in one fell swoop, now it seems that the half-werewolves did not take him seriously, and the effect of showing weakness was achieved, but it was clearly too much.
"It seems that they have to suffer a little, and if they don't punch them hard, they won't know the pain, and they won't think about fighting back."
The plan was decided, and Liu Zhi sent another fifty soldiers of the Yanlong Battalion to support Long Zhen, and ordered him to lead people to launch a blockade on the spot, without fighting to the death, but to cause as much damage as possible.
As soon as the order was issued, the soldiers who had been aggrieved for a long time immediately launched a fierce counterattack, killing and wounding more than ten half-werewolf scouts, but they only had one dead and three wounded, and the dead warrior was also unlucky, in the process of counterattack, a hidden arrow hit him directly in the head, and he died immediately, if it was shot in other parts, protected by armor and helmets, it would not be killed with an arrow.
This counteroffensive successfully angered the half-werewolves, and they behaved more cautiously because of this, the speed of the pressure slowed down a little, and the number of scouts began to gradually increase, and after more than three hundred, Long Zhen finally began to feel the pressure, at this time it was less than twenty kilometers away from the river fortress, standing on the high point, you could see the small city in the distance.
Fighting and retreating all the way, more than ten minutes later, Long Zhen led people to a position fifteen kilometers away from the fortress, facing the siege of more than three hundred and a half werewolf scouts, their defense line has been compressed to less than two kilometers, but they still dare to fight during the war, the half-werewolves have been pressed five hundred meters away, and they dare not approach rashly, at this time Liu Zhi sent an order, so that he no longer need to continue to resist, and immediately evacuate.
As soon as the order was delivered, the soldiers of the Yanlong Battalion retreated as fast as they could, and the ten-kilometer journey took only seven or eight minutes, although the half-werewolves felt strange, they did not take the opportunity to follow, and in the process of approaching just now, they had killed nearly thirty scouts, and they were already hurt.
There is a hillside three kilometers away from the riverside fortress, standing on the slope you can have a panoramic view of the front and back, after Long Zhen led people over the hillside, he immediately turned to the left and ran towards a hill not far away.
This is a blind spot in vision, even if the half-werewolf is standing on a high place, his vision cannot penetrate the hillside and see the movement here, Long Zhen keeps the team highly concentrated, leaving ten warriors at the end, responsible for cleaning up the footprints along the way.
…………
On the wall of the riverside fortress, there were already more than a dozen generals in armor, the leader was about forty years old, burly, with a high nose, sharp eyes, and a sparse beard, he was wearing a scarlet one-piece armor, a big sword hung from his waist, the cold wind blew, and his long silver hair flew non-stop.
The bearded white man who was shot through the thigh by Liu Zhi's arrow stood aside, his injuries seemed to have healed, looking at the approaching half-werewolf army in the distance, his big hand slapped on the wall pier, and scolded angrily: "These despicable Huaxia people actually led the orcs over, it's really damned!" ”
The silver-haired middle-aged man glanced at him and said with a solemn expression: "Tony, it's useless to be angry, now we should think about how to resist the crazy attack of these orcs!" ”
The bearded man named Tony was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, you don't think that the orcs really dare to attack us, do you?" They don't even have siege engines! ”
The silver-haired middle-aged man was Salvatore, he stared at the orc army in the distance, and sighed lightly: "Have you forgotten, Tony, the claws of orcs are enough to pierce steel, these eight or nine meters of city walls, they can easily climb up, if they climb the city wall, even if we pay the lives of four or five soldiers, we may not be able to kill an orc, I can already foresee how fierce the battle will be." ”
Tony's eyebrows frowned slightly, he forgot about this stubble, and then said: "Your Excellency, I admit that the orcs are very fierce, but we also have longbowmen who are skilled in archery, and if they dare to attack the fortress, I promise to teach them a hard lesson." ”
Salvatore shook his head and said: "My Excellency, your Excellency General, you think too simply, the speed of the orcs is very fast, and the movements are also very agile, if the longbowmen throw, the orcs can easily avoid it, and the distance of the direct shot is too close, we only have more than a hundred longbowmen, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the orcs, whether they can be repelled depends on the battle on the city wall." ”
At this time, a young white man next to him said, "Your Excellency, I don't think the orcs will necessarily attack us. ”
Salvatore turned to look at him and asked, "Felix, tell me what you think, I'm interested." ”
Felix's face was full of confidence, and his voice was a little louder, and he said: "Orcs are still in a primitive society, and they have definitely never seen city-states and fortresses, Your Excellency, you should know very well that any animal is full of vigilance against the unknown, so I think that the orcs will not necessarily attack us, and there may be tentative attacks, but they will definitely not be fully pressed." ”
Salvatore nodded his head frequently, he felt that Felix's analysis was reasonable, the unknown can indeed make any creature fearful, and orcs are also human, presumably among them.
In that case, simply repel their tentative attacks and the battle is over.
Thinking of this, Salvatore patted Felix on the shoulder and said with admiration: "Dear Felix, your wisdom amazes me, and I believe that in the near future, you will become an excellent military commander." ”
Felix smiled humbly, "You are too pretty, Your Excellency, I still have a lot to learn from you. ”
"Very well, Felix, pride leads to destruction, I think you must have a very deep understanding of this sentence." Salvatore smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Now we have to lay out the specific defense line, Felix, I need your help." ”
"It is my pleasure, Your Excellency the Consul."
…………
Liu Zhi was lying on the top of a hill, surrounded by Fang Shaochuan, Duan Qi, and Long Zhen, and under the hill, all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, except for the cavalry team that was still performing the sentry mission, had gathered here.
"Brother Zhi, the half-werewolves won't dare to attack the fortress, right?" Duan Qi asked with some concern.
"Maybe, they have suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Long Zhen, they definitely don't dare to underestimate the fortress, and there are not many people brought out, so they really don't dare to attack." Liu Zhi analyzed.
"And if they don't attack, should we attack them head-on?" Fang Shaochuan said.
"No, let's just wait." The corners of Liu Zhi's mouth raised, and he smiled a little mysteriously, "With the character of a half-werewolf, since he has already gone on the expedition, there is no gain or no pain, he will definitely not withdraw the army, we have already performed the prologue, and the next main drama will naturally be played by the half-werewolf and the fortress, let's take a good look." ”
"Well, let's be a melon-eating crowd first." Duan Qi responded with a smile.
Liu Zhi also smiled and instructed: "Let everyone have a good rest, recuperate, and we still have to come to the final event." ”
He looked at the half-werewolf army that had stopped under the fortress, and slowly added: "I hope they can perform this scene wonderfully." ”
