The wasteland is indeed showing signs of warmth, and Zhang Quan has already felt it.

He led his army south, the terrain he passed was basically a gentle slope all the way, passing by a river that had been frozen, he clearly saw that the ice had begun to erode under the ice, and he could see that there was flowing water, such a scene, which should not have happened in the cold winter, there was also a river near the base mountain, but the river was completely blocked by a few feet of solid ice, and there was no sign of moving.

The bears under his command, seeing such a river, were happy to follow what is yes, with the weapon in their hands a few times to smash the ice cap, and then lay there, waiting for the fish at the bottom of the river to run up to breathe, sure enough, after a while, a small gap, the fish that came up were crowded like dumplings, the bear paws just use their hands to catch it, such fish to catch is not too simple, the bears are elated one by one, catch the raw fish directly into the mouth, anxious not even to deal with it, Only the most sophisticated old bears Shi Shiran went to the side to set up a rack and prepare a barbecue to enjoy the rare delicacy in this winter.

It turns out that this is the repertoire of their bear tribe in winter, and the delicious fish is a rare delicacy in this wasteland, and only the most famous foodies in the wasteland will have such a lazy method. Zhang Quan also roasted two, the taste was not good, the seasoning was too much, and the taste was even inferior to the craftsmanship of the bears. He felt a little ashamed.

From the base mountain to the edge of the territory of the Southern Leopard Tribal Alliance, a distance of about two hundred kilometers, Zhang Quan and his subordinates walked for three days, the first two of which were because they had to stop and constantly establish good relations with other tribes in their own sphere of influence, and from time to time they had to accept mercenaries from different tribes to make up the numbers, which made the pace of the troops' actions seem lazy and unusually slow.

But once out of their own territory, the mood of the whole army immediately became completely different, the soldiers became vigilant, and the winged scouts in the air always maintained two in the air at the same time, one of them was going to go out to reconnoitre, and the other was high in their own air. And the centaur team, which had long been scattered by Zhang Quan, maintained a strong search ability in front and back, left and right, especially thirty kilometers ahead.

The composition of the orc army is a bit different from the human army, and almost every orc has their own precious riding beast to use for transportation, so, to be specific, almost all orc soldiers can be called mounted infantry. Therefore, the ranks of the orc marching army seem to be extraordinarily large. Among them, there were many orc soldiers, but the accompanying livestock was several times the number of orcs.

Of course, this kind of complete lineup, not the average small tribe can afford to play, in the winter, most tribes even the most cherished riding beasts will inevitably be slaughtered, of course, it is impossible for everyone to be equipped with riding beasts, but in the rich base mountain tribes, there is no such concern at all, each soldier with a riding beast is the least, and some even match two or even three.

In today's base mountain tribe, the centaurs can be said to be the absolute main force in the soldiers, which also makes the centaur clan in the base mountain tribe burst with confidence, one by one, the centaurs who were originally because of the new weapons and armor equipment and the combat power of the centaurs are particularly conspicuous.

These centaurs are generally about two and a half meters tall, and their body length is generally more than two meters, with front legs, hind legs and rounded hips, full of strong muscles, and the weight is the heaviest among all races except for the minotaur.

Spears, scimitars and hunting bows and crossbow arrows are the weapons of the centaurs, plus helmets, arm guards, special upper body plate armor and lower body fish scale armor, as well as internal chain mail that is resistant to chopping and arrows, a total of several hundred pounds, and these weights must be placed on another special camel beast behind them when marching, which is very convenient for centaurs, and the centaur family itself is one of the best herdsmen in the wasteland.

These riding beasts and camel beasts belong to the soldiers themselves, every soldier in the tribe in the wasteland, their wealth is far beyond the ordinary orcs in the tribe, they not only eat the best in the tribe, train more, and the weapons and armor they are equipped with, as well as the riding beasts and camel beasts, are all owned by themselves, so as a tribal soldier will have such a status in the tribe, it must be the strongest and most fierce warrior in the tribe, all the way out of the bloody fight.

Of course, the soldiers of the base mountain tribe are different from the soldiers in other orc tribes, they are not the survival of the fittest, but directly trained, and belong to the assembly line products, which is difficult to compare with the final cost. Moreover, the good things of the soldiers of the base mountain tribe are all distributed by the tribe, and they are not like other orc tribes, which are all trophies that they snatched when they went out to fight.

There are many types of camel beasts in the wasteland, as long as the livestock that can be domesticated, with strong physical strength and great strength, they can be used as camel beasts, and unlike the riding beasts that are specially designed for riding, the ability of camel beasts is generally focused on endurance and weight-bearing, rather than focusing on speed and weight bearing like riding beasts.

Take, for example, the two most common animals that can be used as both riding beasts and camel beasts, the wildebeest and the rhinoceros.

The wildebeest is the most common riding beast on this continent, not only used by orcs, but also by humans in the south, but although the wildebeest is fast and has good endurance, it is not very practical to carry a weight compared to a larger animal like a rhinoceros. If you travel long distances, wildebeest growing up in the wasteland generally carry between 500 kilograms and 1 ton, which is not enough compared to the average weight of rhinoceros more than 5 tons.

Therefore, at this time, the rhinoceros beast, which has stronger endurance and a larger load, has become the most suitable livestock breed for camel beasts in the wasteland, and the wildebeest is more suitable for riding animals. The back camp of the base mountain tribe is filled with a large number of rhino beasts, and most of the food they carry is the food that the soldiers need and the dry food that the livestock need to eat along the way.

Of course, even if he is a riding beast, if he encounters a master like Minotaur and Bill, who weigh an average of several hundred kilograms, the wildebeest will not be able to serve either, such as Bill, he can only choose the rhinoceros as the riding beast, even if this guy walks slowly, even if he sprints at a speed of only tens of kilometers.

There are also heavy cavalry like tanks in the wasteland, but they are not the armored centaur cavalry trained by Zhang Quan, but the bull-headed barbarian bull cavalry, which weighs nearly two tons without counting the iron armor.

This is the cavalry trump card in the wasteland, once it appears on the battlefield, it is enough to crush everything with a charge without any tactical action at all, but the brute bull is only found in the central and eastern parts of the wasteland, and there is indeed no such creature known for its temper in the area around the base mountain.

Large quantities of livestock, riding beasts and camel beasts constitute a complete system. Although the orcs in the wasteland do not have the transportation conditions on the high ground like the modern earth, they can also establish their own set of methods to solve the logistics of war by relying on these native livestock.

The orcs were born, raised, and bathed in the land under the blue sky with their livestock in the wasteland, so their adaptability to this land is incomparable to that of other races and civilizations.
