Chapter Twenty-Five: The Battle of the Barrens—Prelude

Within a few minutes, the tent of the Chinese military camp where Lao Tang was located walked in one after another, and many Minotaur soldiers walked in one after another. One by one, the burly figures dressed neatly around the conference tables covered with maps in the camp tent stood densely and neatly, crowding the small camp tent to the brim.

Seeing that Old Tang had been staring closely at the map of the barren land, the generals who walked in began to whisper to the people around him to guess the reason for the assembly. Even though the strong men deliberately lowered their voices, the naturally loud voices of the minotaurs still made these whispers sound like the low and muffled thunder of the urn sounding in the tent.

At the conference table, Jaywann Terror Totem and Old Man Gundrew Split Hoof sat to the left and right of Don's head, staring at the map with their brows furrowed. Bane * Bloodhoof and Jon * Stareye did not sit down on the chair because of their low rank and lack of qualifications, and after entering the door, they glanced at each other with some confusion, and stood silently behind the old Tang and the others, without saying a word.

After a while, the violent cow Anak, who had just settled the eagle man Xiao Nizi, took the little follower Cole Xiao Zhengtai, and walked into the tent in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door and saw the posture in the conference room, the violent cow who was about to ask, stopped the words to ask, pulled over a chair, as usual, leaned down his upper body, and lay on the conference table without any image, quietly waiting for the old brother to speak. Let the druid Xiaozheng standing behind him cover his face depressedly for a while.

The intensifying hum in the camp tent finally dragged Old Tang out of his thinking and calculation. Raising his eyes and glancing at it, the commanders were all here, and the old Tang knocked on the table twice with a "bang", and saw that the strong men of the minotaur who were still talking stopped talking one by one, raised their heads with their chests straight, stood with solemn hands, and looked at the old Tang who was sitting on the main seat.

Seeing that everyone refocused from the discussion, Old Tang glanced at all the strong men and said in a low voice:

"I called you here to announce a piece of information. An elite force of more than 200,000 centaurs had already advanced in the direction of the migrating army last night. The purpose of this group of miscellaneous people, I don't need to say, everyone knows it. There will be a big war in the barren land soon, and if we make a mistake, we will probably suffer unimaginable losses. ”

Hearing that, Lao Tang's opening remarks, as expected by Lao Tang, the camp tent that had just calmed down immediately exploded like throwing a few goblin grenades. For a moment, questions like, "How is it possible, aren't they already fighting in the Bleak Land?" How can there be any strength left to pursue us? "Damn centaur hagg, are you trying to fight us to the death?" "Two hundred thousand? How could a centaur in the Barrens have such a large force? Such discussions are endless.

Seeing the expressions of the warriors in the camp tent, either surprised, angry or confused, Old Tang hammered the table hard, suppressed all kinds of quarrels and discussions, and shouted:

"A big war is inevitable. What needs to be done now is not to question and ask how these centaur scum did it. Since the centaur scum is so arrogant and superstitious about his own force, and wants to challenge our Shuharu wrath again, then we will do as he wishes. This time, we want these 200,000 centaurs to be corpsed in the barren wilderness, and their bodies are in a different place! They want war, we give them war! ”

"Well said, this time we must let them thoroughly understand that the boundless anger of the descendants of Mother Earth is something they can never bear!" The iron-blooded veteran Jayvan * Terror Totem, as if he had found the long-lost passion of his youth, was the first to stand up and echo the old Don's declaration of war.

"That's it, it's only 200,000, I'm afraid of him with a hammer! Let's kill as many as we want! Last time, I had to let them go, and this time I'm going to chop all these chops into meat sauce! "The violent cow Anak, who stopped playing soy sauce at the meeting, slammed the case, raised the big axe, and howled at the throat.

"Damn centaur brutes, old man, my totem pole will smash them into meatloaf! They shouldn't have come to provoke Shuharu! "Old man Gundru* Splithoof, when facing the centaur who has this blood feud, is also old and strong, and he is not merciless.

The resolute and resolute Bane * Bloody Hoof, the calm and brave Jon * Star Eye, and the immature and shy little Zhengtai Cole camp all left behind their doubts and worries at this time, and they were instantly high-spirited!

Seeing that everyone's feelings had been successfully mobilized, Old Tang propped up the table with both hands and commanded loudly:

"Bane Bloodhoof! Take a squad as an escort, and immediately return to the migration force to meet with Grand Chief Kane, and tell him that our original plan to blame the evil will not change, and let the Great Chief hold on for two weeks! In two weeks, I'll bring "reinforcements"! At the same time, in my name, I will apply to the Great Chief for all the remaining Kodo beast cavalry, and I will gather my strength, harass the enemy's back, and insert a good knife in the enemy's back! Once the mission is complete, lead the recruited warriors to join us here! Don't get entangled with centaur troops on the way! Now, let's go! ”

Old Don pointed to the mountain on the map, between the Forgotten Pool and the Later Glory Sentry, and gave Bane an order.

"Obey, Overseer Good!" With that, Bane turned and strode out of the tent.

"Jayvane Terror Totem! Take 200 soldiers, set off for the big elevator at once, and dismantle it for me, I don't want to see any more centaur supply troops in the barrens! Watch out for the boar people, don't rub into them! The Great Army will also be waiting for you at the foot of this mountain! Let's go! Old Tang then ordered the iron-blooded veteran who was sitting at the bottom.

"As you wish, Overseer Good!" At such a formal meeting, the iron-blooded veteran Jayvan Terror Totem, like Bane, chose to call Old Don his military rank as a sign of respect. After receiving the order, he beat his chest and saluted, turned around and walked out of the camp to gather his men.

"Anak * Terror Totem, Cole * Rune Totem, I will give you two a thousand brothers, and I will wipe out all the centaur supply troops in the Barren Land, and take the supplies as soon as they can, and burn them if they can't! Not a single nail or grain of grain is allowed to be left for the centaurs! Take half of the boar captives, kill a squad of centaur supply troops, kill a few with centaur weapons, and stay on the spot. Be sure to erase your traces! Go ahead and meet here after completing the quest. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Violent Niu and Xiao Zhengtai, the two of them were full of excitement, beat their chests and saluted fiercely, making a muffled sound of collapse, and they went out of the camp in a hurry, gathered the soldiers, and led the troops to the battle.

"All the rest, gather your subordinates, let's set off at dawn to capture the Sweetwater Oasis! Warriors of Shuharu! Mother Earth will protect us! We're going to make the centaur scum pay for it with blood!! Looking around at the many high-spirited Minotaur warriors in the camp, Old Tang roared categorically, and the roar contained bloody killing intent and red fruit hatred.

"Blood Debt and Blood Repayment !!" The old man raised the totem pole in his hand and led the people with boiling beast blood and responded loudly.

The second step of Old Tang's strategy of killing people with a knife is about to be implemented.

――――――――――――――――――――――――I am the dividing line before dawn――――――――――――――――――

――――

The sky is already dark, and the sun in the barren land is about to break free from the shackles of the eastern land and take over the skies of Azeroth again.

The veterans assigned to the task, Javahn, Violent Cow Anak and others, had already gathered their men and horses last night, galloped out of the camp in the bright moonlight, and headed for their respective goals. At this moment, the east of the barren land has turned white, and in the temporary camp of the Minotaur in the Forgotten Pool, nearly two thousand elite troops of the Minotaur armed to the teeth silently straddle the broad back of the combat Kodo Beast under him, waiting for the old Tang riding the brute horn in front of the army formation to give the order to set off.

"Go, Kodo Beast Cavalry! Target Sweetwater Oasis! ”

Old Tang looked at his subordinates who were full of bloody aura, Lao Tang hugged the still a little confused Harpy Xiao Nizi, patted the iron armor on the back of the barbarian horn, and rushed out of the camp in the direction of the Sweet Water Oasis.

Along the way, Old Tang was thinking about the situation in the entire Barren Land, and Old Tang did not have the slightest worry about the upcoming mission. The centaurs stationed in the Sweetwater Oasis originally only numbered about 10,000 people. Later, it was swallowed up by the 200,000 centaur coalition that pursued the minotaur migration force, and now there are 4,000 heads in the sky. Old Tang now has two thousand fierce Kodo beast cavalry, and under the ratio of one to two, the little strength left behind by the centaurs is completely ignored by Old Tang. If they can't withstand the three or two charges of this group of elites under Lao Tang, they all have to be killed on the spot.

And now Old Tang has been thinking hard about the third step of the plan, how to completely pull the wild boar people down the muddy water of the barren land. After thinking about your whole plan repeatedly, try to find omissions and flaws.

The boar people, as Kalimdo, the aborigines of the dominant side, are very strong. Not counting the Durotal that has not yet been driven out by the orcs, these in the barren land alone, if they can fight, it will be enough for the elite Centaur coalition to have a headache. Old Tang would not despise the combat effectiveness of those elite boar people in the two strongholds of Razor Swamp and Razor Heights.

Even if Garrosh Hellroar personally led part of the elite guards of Kukaron into it, if it weren't for the critical moment, Bane Bloodhoof and Hamuel Rune Totem, who became the Minotaur chieftains, led the Daywalker troops to the rescue, and almost wiped out the entire army and died on the spot.

And if the Boar Man's many eighth-order and ninth-order powerhouses can lead the elite to attack the Centaur Alliance, then under the attack of the Minotaur and the Boar Man, what awaits this Centaur Alliance is definitely the end of the barren land. At that time, the migratory troops led by Kane and Hamuel and others will not suffer heavy casualties.

The Minotaur is holding on to the front, the Boar Man is attacking behind the back, and with the now well-equipped Minotaur regular army, with the support of a new way of fighting, the casualties will definitely not be too large. On the contrary, as the main attacker, the boar man, with its simple equipment and backward and uncoordinated combat methods, is similar to the centaurs. Even if the two tribes finally defeated the centaur army, the boar people were doomed to heavy losses, so even if these boar people had any crooked intentions later, they would not be able to pose a big threat to the entire minotaur tribe.

Old Tang, a black-bellied man, had the evil idea of borrowing the power of the boar people from the beginning, containing the centaur army, and at the same time consuming the combat power of the wild boar people. After the enlightenment of his younger brother Anak and the old man Gundru, the previous feelings of guilt and shame were completely put aside, and there was no pressure to calculate the potential opponent of the wild boar man in the future at this moment.

"Overseer, there are still more than fifty miles away from the Sweetwater Oasis, and it has been observed that there are only more than 4,000 centaurs left in the centaur camp at this time, and the security is not very tight." A minotaur hunter scout with a rider fighting the Kodomon galloped in from afar, brought up a puff of smoke and dust, and stopped in front of Old Tang to report.

"Very well, pass on my orders! Let the hunter detachment take the lead and lay a trap outside the centaur camp, this battle, you can't let go of a centaur dregs! Old Tang, who was interrupted by the scout, did not feel the slightest displeasure, and gave an order to the scout with a smile.

"Old man, I bother you to lead the team, I must make sure that nothing goes wrong!" Old Tang, who gave the battle order, turned his head and asked the old man Gundrew who was wiping the totem pole on the side to lead the team. Old man, I don't know how many battles I have fought in my life, and with him on the side, Old Tang is very relieved!

"Don't worry, Good, old man, I promise not to let a centaur gotter." The old man Gundru, who was old and strong, was very satisfied with the task arranged by the old Tang, picked up the totem pole, grinned confidently, pulled the blindfold of his left eye, and rode the mount under his crotch to the middle of the team, shouting as he walked:

"Bunnies of the Hunter Troop, follow the old man, I'll be one step ahead! Let me see how you've grown these days! I can't hold those centaur crumbs, and I'll rebuild them one by one! ”

The old man's words did not arouse any disgust among the warriors, and the young men who had received the orders of the herald gave this amiable and respectable old man a wolf howl and laughed loudly, broke away from the formation, and galloped away with the old man.

Watching the old man and the hunter troops run far away, Old Tang was inexplicably a little excited in his heart, grabbed the reins of the brute horn, turned around, and shouted at the remaining strong men of the minotaur:

"Brothers, let's hurry up, don't let the old man laugh, go full speed, tonight we will eat in the sea of half-human corpses! Fall asleep on the severed arm of the stump of the centaur dregs! Roar! With that, Old Tang kicked the waist of the brute horn with both feet, and under the acceleration of the brute horn, he walked away.

"Roar!" A fierce warrior who was provoked by Old Tang to fight, roared, sprinted at full speed, and followed behind.

Tonight, the barren land will once again be watered with blood, and this time the blood of the loser will belong to the savage and cruel centaur beasts.
