229 Suspicious Tactics
After leaving the ruined fortress, Sheng Xuan led people quietly into the depths of the frozen swamp, but no one knew the purpose of his trip, at the beginning Reg felt that he must be going to the orc royal residence where the wood was located, but now it seemed to be in the northern circle of this frozen swamp, passing through many small orc tribes along the way, Sheng Xuan patiently asked them about the surrounding environment, gradually perfected the map in his hand, and determined the exact location of these orc tribes one by one.

In the past half a month, this small group of men and horses has had several fierce battles with the Calais soldiers they met, and these Calais people and horses are all in a small team, and most of them are carrying some captured slaves, and when these orc slaves are captured, these teams are more or less injured, which seriously affects their combat strength.
After this battle, the combat effectiveness of the orc warriors of the fallen leaves has improved rapidly, and most of the rescued captives have been killed, so they are included in the mercenary group, so in this half a month, the number of people in the group has exceeded more than two hundred, which is much more than when the fallen leaves won the victory that day.
These orcs are very strong, it seems that the purpose of the Calais to capture the slaves this time may be to replenish the source of troops, thinking of this, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, he began to have difficulties in recruiting what kind of orcs to join the team, and now he can't help but have a plan in his heart.
Although these newcomers were brute force, their combat power was far inferior to the original soldiers, so Sheng Xuan asked Mu to personally guide them, but fortunately, a certain number of weapons were captured from the Calais soldiers in every battle, so it was not difficult to arm these recruits.
After every battle, these recruits have improved rapidly, under Sheng Xuan's observation, select the strongest fifty of them, and let Mu personally teach them the inner strength of the mind, and Sheng Xuan once again remembered that there is still a void, if you add a sufficient number of still scattered, you can make the internal strength of this group of warriors improve rapidly, as long as you can reach the level of the third level, plus their strong body, you can become an excellent warrior with one as ten.
On this day, Sheng Xuan and his people were walking through the swamp, and suddenly there was a faint sound of scolding and whipping in front of them, which immediately made them more vigilant, and the team quickly found a bush and jungle to hide, and then sent a few soldiers to check.
After a while, the warriors hurriedly ran back, "In front is a large group of Calais soldiers, it seems that there are thousands of them, of which more than two hundred are cavalry, the rest are infantry, and there are many archers in it, and there are hundreds of orcs in that team, which should have been captured from several tribes, and it seems that they should be escorted to Calais." β
After listening to what the warrior saw, Sheng Xuan couldn't help nodding slightly, and then quietly asked Mu Tou, "What are you going to do?" Since he decided to cultivate Wood, every time Sheng Xuan would ask Mu Tou's opinion first, at this moment Wood looked at the surrounding environment, and then said, "There is no favorable terrain in this place, and it may be difficult for our team to rescue those orc brothers, so it is better for us to follow them quietly and look for an opportunity to do something behind our backs, so that we may be able to rescue some of them." β
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but smile, looked at Rege, and saw that he couldn't help but shake his head, "What the wood said is the next strategy, you can't do it unless you have to, the other party has a complete range of troops, and each of these Calais soldiers is very familiar with the environment, once we go up to entangle, I'm afraid that we will be restrained by the other party, and when the time comes, not only will we not be able to save those orcs, but it will be easy to put us in trouble." β
Reg's words immediately made Mu blush, but he didn't rush to argue or admit his mistakes, but was thinking positively and thinking of a better way.
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but hand over the map, and then lightly tapped on it, "Our approximate location should be here, there are still hundreds of miles from here to Calais, and it is surrounded by several large swamps, there should only be three roads, which one do you think they are most likely to take?"
Wood looked at the map carefully, gesturing his fingers on it, and finally chose a route, "I think they should go here, because this road seems to be the closest and the least dangerous." β
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but nodded, and then said, "I also think that this road is very likely, but there is another road, although it is the farthest one, but you don't forget, where there is a fortress of the Calais, which one is destroyed by us, although we know but the other party does not necessarily know, the distance of hundreds of miles is not far, but it is not close in this big swamp, I am afraid that they will have to walk for a week to get out, to this fortress to rest and recuperate, and it is reasonable to replenish some provisions." β
"What if they knew that the fortress had been destroyed, after all, it had been more than ten days, and perhaps there was a special way between the garrisons of Calais, and if they had taken this path, then we were not going to make a fuss?"
Reg nodded approvingly, it seems that wood has been used to thinking during this time, and everything will repeatedly consider several possibilities, although sometimes the ideas he says are too superficial, but at least he has slowly had an overall grasp of everything.
"You see that the two routes meet here for only a few miles, and then they go around each side of a swamp, and in the middle of this section is a small dense bush, although this bush is full of stingers, but we are not without a way to hide it, as long as we get there first, and then send someone to monitor the route on both sides, and find the target we can even move on the other hand, I think it would be ideal to set up an ambush here. β
After listening to Reg's words, Wood hurriedly looked at the point carefully on the map, and then nodded incessantly, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but smile, in the end, Reg was born in the military, and he had a lot of experience in leading troops to fight, if one day Wood could catch up with Reg, he could really bring out a strong orc army.
Originally, Sheng Xuan had a lot of tactics in his mind about the art of war and tactics for marching and fighting, but now these are too advanced for wood, and if he can't comprehend it, it will become a burden if he can't understand it, so it's better to learn it slowly from actual combat like now.
"We'll sneak behind them today, and we'll be on our way overnight in the evening to get where we get a day early, and the rest will depend on our luck. β
In this swamp full of dangers everywhere, although it is already the middle of winter, the ice never freezes, and the seemingly solid ice will crumble when one steps on it, and then fall into the endless swamp.
But this kind of environment has a benefit, the reflection of the ground allows this pedestrian to see the surrounding environment better, originally with Shengxuan Leige's cultivation in the dark night vision is not a problem, and the orcs are born with strong night vision, plus they are extremely familiar with the environment in this swamp, so it is not a problem to rush in the dark night, but it is a little slower than the day.
After two days of trekking, they finally arrived at the predetermined location, they only passed here a few days ago, and now they came back again and had another feeling, Sheng Xuan asked everyone to go around to carefully check the environment, not to let go of any detail, and then gather all the situation to where the wood is, and when everything around is already under control, the wood began to carefully consider how to set up an ambush.
If you say that you have the advantage in numbers and in this favorable terrain, it is naturally not a problem to ambush an enemy army, but now that you are far inferior in numbers, and the purpose of this time is to rescue the captured orcs, you have to think carefully.
After thinking for a long time, Mu couldn't help gritting his teeth, "This is located on the edge of the swamp, the nearby environment is very complicated, and the road that can be walked is very narrow, I think the Calais team will definitely be very long, let's just let go of the front, and wait until the orc brothers in the middle come over, we will suddenly attack, so that we can rescue them all in one fell swoop, I will lead people to block the Calais here, and you can take them to retreat smoothly according to the original path." β
This time, not only Sheng Xuan, but even Reg smiled, and couldn't help but say to the wood, "You can't think of some other way? Don't let yourself fall into danger every time, if that's the case, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for us to go up and fight the Calais directly?" Since we have already planned to ambush, there must be a better way." β
Wood couldn't help but blush, "This is already the best way I can come up with it." Sheng Xuan couldn't help but say slowly: "Look at the surrounding environment, you have a clear idea, what are the characteristics of the Calais people, after so many battles, you are already very clear, can't you think of a better way?" You see, here, it's a moss, and there's a quagmire and swamp underneath, and it wouldn't have been possible for anyone to hide, but if we use the bushes here to lay a trail in advance, and choose where a few orc archers are, when the Calais come, they will bow and arrow and then quickly evacuate, and with the character of the Calais, they will inevitably divide their forces to chase, so that at least dozens of Calais can be lured away, and then look hereγγγγ"
Sheng Xuan told the surrounding environment one by one, which immediately shocked Mu Tou's heart, it turned out that there can be so many ways to fight, Sheng Xuan finally said" We deliberately changed the terrain of the previous section, so that the Calais felt that there must be an ambush somewhere, but they were naturally proud, even in the face of a large group of people, they would not change their course, but in their hearts they would inevitably be vigilant, but people will have fatigue, it is impossible to be so alert forever, when they pass through where they are, they must be greatly relaxed, at this time when we suddenly attack, they must be shocked, see only a few orc warriors, at this time the Calais should be very angry, this is a blatant provocation to them, they want to annihilate us in one fell swoop, maybe more soldiers will be divided to chase our suspicious soldiers, after a few suspicious soldiers to lead away the opponent, our stress can be reduced a lot. β
"But what if they are not fooled?" "Then we will fight until they are fooled, we have enough bows and arrows, and the orcs are good marksmen, and here they march very slowly, and it is very difficult to return fire with bows and arrows, and Calais will not be able to stand a few volleys, and it will not be possible to chase them when the time comes." Leg smiled and gave an answer to the wood, and he was also very impressed by Shengxuan's use of soldiers.
