Chapter 862: The Situation of the Two Armies
At three o'clock in the morning, when the cold mountain wind blew through the rough skin of the dark mountain land, the sky was still the territory of the bright moon, and occasionally a few stars who did not want to be suppressed by the moonlight used all their strength, trying to squeeze out the cover of the clouds and mist, and trying their best to show their peerless beauty.

The sound of the "rumbling ......" waterfall hitting the pool water in the distance, accompanied by the crisp sound of the water flow in the near ......, these two sounds seem to be the only sounds in nature in this dark night......
Fiercely, the sound of "knock, knock, knock ......" of the war drums woke up the Jingyi heaven and earth, and woke up all the creatures that were still sleeping.
Wang Xu's army, under the opening of the 30,000 strong Minotaur pioneers, quickly advanced towards the valley mouth on the west side of the river valley, because the individual ability of the Minotaur race is too strong, so the matter of opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers may be a problem for other races, but for the Minotaurs, it is a small matter that can be solved immediately in minutes.
The reason why the Minotaur troops will play outposts as the vanguard is carefully arranged by Wang Xu according to the characteristics of the race, after all, among the wood elves, cat people and minotaurs, the Minotaur race is the only race in this legion that is good at hand-to-hand combat, and if there is a sudden encounter, it is still the melee race that has an obvious advantage.
As for the wood elves who are good at long-range attacks, Wang Xu arranged them in the middle of the formation, and the cat people who were congenitally deficient and could not attack in close combat or from a distance, Wang Xu arranged them at the end and participated in the battle as a reserve.
Of course, Wang Xu can arrange it like this, and it is also his painstaking negotiation with the three orc chiefs, this negotiation took several hours, Wang Xu didn't even have time to sleep, his mouth was worn out, after the negotiation was successful, Wang Xu kept scolding the orcs in his heart: IQ is very low, temper is very hard, it's really ......
Wang Xu, who rode a unicorn at the front of the team, looked back at the boundless sea of torches, felt the shaking of the earth as the army advanced, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The 500,000 army is really not a joke, looking at the coverage of the torches, it has already illuminated seven or eight river valleys......
Ten minutes ago, there had been a light rain in this area that lasted less than a minute, and the rain had stopped before the ground had been wetted by the rain, but because of the appearance of this light rain, the warriors in the team who had been dozing off immediately woke up, at least, they were not in a trance like before the rain.
Unlike the calm and unhurried situation of Wang Xu's troops, at this moment, the pig-headed and kobold defenders in the river valley are becoming more and more chaotic.
Originally, because there were only 200,000 regular troops left in the valley, the pig-headed and kobold people in the valley were already panicked, and in addition, there was only one general left in the valley who could lead the troops, so they were even more panicked, and what was even worse was that the only general who stayed in the valley was only a 10,000-strong commander of the pig-headed people, this pig-headed man captain named Kazrak, who had only brought 10,000 troops at most in his lifetime, and the number of troops exceeded 10,000, which was already beyond his ability, and now he needs to lead 200,000 people in a fateful life-and-death battle。
The only thing to be happy about for the pig-headed and kobold is that they are on the defensive, not the offensive, and they believe that with the difficult terrain, they should be able to drag on for three or five days until the reinforcements return, and then the time for a counterattack will come.
The dream was beautiful, however, the reality was cruel, and after receiving the news of the enemy's attack, the pig-headed man Captain Kazrak, who was still yawning, immediately gave the order to wake up all the defenders and conduct defensive operations as planned.
However, after waiting in the tent of the Chinese army for fifteen minutes, and realizing that even half of his men had not been assembled, Kazrak angrily asked one of his commanders, "What's going on?"
"Report to the general, at this moment, everyone is sleeping to death, can't wake up......" The commander who was asked replied with a depressed face.
"When is it, still sleeping, if you sleep again, you will really die......" After muttering indignantly, Kazrak ordered again: "Pass my command, whoever does not get up, pour cold water on their faces, and if they do not get up, then pour boiling water on their faces!"
"That's not good, General," the commander hesitated, glancing at his leader, the one-eyed captain Kazrak, "and it will affect morale......"
"Is there any other good way?" After hearing his subordinates questioning his decision-making, Kazraq said angrily: "If you have a way, you can say it quickly, and if you can't do it, do as I order!"
"Yes, General! I'll go and carry out your orders!" The commander, who didn't want to be scolded anymore, took the opportunity to carry out the order and left the Chinese army's big tent.
Immediately, the sound of scolding the mother began to burst out in the camp of the pig-headed and kobold defenders, and all the soldiers who slept dead and were doused with water all opened their mouths to scold.
Eventually, the pig-headed and kobold defenders were assembled, but, as the commander had predicted, half of the men were awakened by water, so morale was very low.
The other half of the soldiers who were not doused with water and took the initiative to wake up were already sleepy, coupled with the constant cursing of their comrades-in-arms beside them, so their mood was not very high, and their morale was also very low.
Anyway, the overall condition of the pig-headed and kobold defenders is very bad, the combat strength is at least a few percent weaker than usual, and half of them are constantly covering their mouths and yawning, and they can almost fall asleep while standing.
When the commander who gave the order returned to the door of the Chinese army's tent, he heard the commander Kazrak inside still cursing: "Is our opponent a psychotic, how can anyone attack at three o'clock in the morning, they are all night owls, no need to sleep!"
Just when the commander hesitated whether to wait for his leader to finish scolding before entering the Chinese army's tent, a spy walked over with a nervous expression.
So, the commander, who could not continue to stand at the door, could only accompany the spies and enter the big tent together.
"What's the situation?" After impatiently glancing at his commander, Kazraq didn't say anything to him, and asked the spy directly.
"General, we have found out who the chief general of the enemy's leading army is!" the spy reported on one knee, his voice trembling......
