Chapter 66: Encounters and Sneak Attacks

Five thousand orcs acted, and the Baroque had only one demand for them...... Come and go like the wind!

The strength of the human legion lies in the use of battle formations, but they are not without weaknesses. Any battle formation, even a charge formation of light cavalry or a crushing battle formation of heavy cavalry, will be limited by speed in order to maintain the integrity of the formation. And speed is the most indispensable for orcs who grow on horseback.

Baroque found that the orcs in the northern tundra seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding, they were brave and strong, but they were too rigid and rigid. In the face of the human battle formation, which is known to be unbreakable, it often rushes forward in groups, and before it has time to inflict heavy damage on the human race, he is killed and wounded. Orcs have no shortage of bravery, but they must first learn to be rational and retreat. Only by taking advantage of this can there be a little hope of dealing with the human legion.

After all, the orcs are natives of the tundra, and their familiarity with this land is not comparable to that of humans, so it is not difficult to find a human clearance team. Scouts have reported that they have found at least five hundred-man human cavalry teams, scattered across the tundra, but separated by a maximum of five miles from each other, and can easily reach each other even if they need to support each other. Five thousand orcs can easily wipe out any team of hundreds, but it will always take some time, and it will take a lot of time if the humans of the team form a battle formation and wait for reinforcements. Once the orcs are entangled, the other human hundred-man teams around them will besiege them from all directions, and it will be very difficult for the five thousand orcs to get out at that time!

This is most likely the ploy of the generals of the Human Legion, using this seemingly loose way to attract orcs to attack, and then secretly surround and suppress them from all around. Not only can you capture more orcs, but you also don't have to go around looking for orc traces. The Baroque saw through the tricks of human beings and naturally would not be fooled. He only kept one thing in mind...... Find the Human Commander's team, then unleash an onslaught of all five thousand orcs. He carried out a decapitation operation with the three beast armor warriors of Bimon Beast Master Protoya and Barrotan, as long as he killed the legion leader, he would never entangle, even if the strong man broke his wrist and sacrificed some orcs. They will also retreat immediately.

When the Baroque followed the movement of the brigade, he summoned the indigenous leaders of the tundra such as Protoya, and improvised a simple map of animal skins, and finally had a general grasp of the surrounding terrain. It's very puzzling. The orcs on the northern tundra never thought of drawing a map! Not everyone knows everything about any place, and with a map, they can communicate orders more clearly and clearly, choose the right route or attack the location of the attack.

There are dozens of large animal skins marked in red by the Baroque, and they are still extending outward. These are the places where the Scouts once found the human cavalry. Baroque connects all the locations and confirms his guesses in his mind.

In his opinion, if this scattered march was really a conspiracy of the human legion commander, then in order to facilitate the transmission of military orders to the various centurions, the commander's army must be in the middle of all the centurions. It's like a spider's web, as long as the spider stays in the middle, it can detect movement anywhere in all directions, and Baroque is looking for that key point!

Perhaps it was a contempt for the orcs, or perhaps a confidence in its own strength, but Baroque found himself quickly drawing a clear map of the range of the human legion. Connect every point on the periphery. Then several horizontal and vertical lines intersect, and the middle area is clear at a glance. This time, you can't send ordinary scouts to investigate, after all, it's too dangerous, not to mention, once the human legion leader is slightly noticed, it is likely to immediately change tactics, in that case, the Baroque will also have a headache.

The most astute of Angre and the dozen or so berserk tribal warriors who were most familiar with the surrounding area were selected and sent out by the Baroque. He was repeatedly told not to come into contact with the human legion, and once he found a special team, he immediately retreated back to report it.

They will most likely take a few days, and before that the most important thing to do. It is how to ensure that the large army of five thousand orcs will not be discovered by humans. Just as human beings have nothing to hide in the vast tundra, 5,000 orcs with more than 10,000 horses cannot be completely avoided. Yesterday morning, they had already encountered a team of human hundreds. Baroque ordered the hundred-man team to be surrounded. Ignoring the battle formation formed by humans, under the tidal wave of attacks, in the end, not a single person was left alive.

The scouts on the periphery kept returning, and they had already encountered more and more human cavalry teams, and they were heading into the depths of the tundra, squeezing and approaching little by little. Soon there will be nothing to hide. Even Plottoya was a little restless, he always felt that something should be done instead of just hiding around here, and he was not allowed to fight at all unless he suddenly encountered a human army. Some orcs have gradually questioned Baroque's actions, believing that he is afraid of fighting with humans, so he shrinks into the shadows and does not show up. The Baroque had known these rumors for a long time, and still went their own way. There is no need to explain, as long as the orc warriors led by them obey their orders, the rumors of a few orcs are irrelevant.

On the third day, when the 5,000-strong army had already killed the third human hundred-man team, almost alarming the other human armies around it, Angel finally rushed back after going out to search, but unfortunately the more than ten orcs who left with him only followed back two, and all of them were seriously injured.

"Baroque Commander, we have found traces of the human legion leader, among them there is a particularly large double-headed eagle banner, and in the guard of a team of elite soldiers, there is a strong man in silver armor......" Even Angel was out of breath, and seemed to have a lingering heart and said to Baroque: "The spirit of the ancestors is above, and we have a sudden encounter with that team. There were dozens of magicians in the team of only two or three hundred people, and most of the brothers of the berserk tribe were killed by magic before they could react, and the few of us who were left hurriedly turned around and fled...... Unexpectedly, the most ordinary soldiers in that team were all vindictive warriors, and they were in hot pursuit, and we lost a few more brothers, and finally managed to get rid of it with the speed of a wolf. ”

"You brought them here?" Baroque frowned, and his calm mood after a few days became slightly agitated.

"Hey, of course. Anglei, who had been a goblin who had been nurtured by the Baroque, nodded maliciously, lowered his voice and only said to him: "If you want to escape, I have a way to escape with the others." However, in order to attract the silver-armored general, he had to sacrifice some brothers from the berserk tribe. ”

Baroque silently made a silent gesture, and Angel immediately shut up. This kind of thing must not be leaked casually, you know and I know, if it spreads, the majesty that was finally erected will collapse immediately, and it may not even become an enemy with the berserk tribe.

Traces of the leader of the human legion have finally been discovered. All the orcs immediately cheered up, the rumors of the previous days had long since disappeared, and they were all gearing up for a big fight.

Baroque summoned all the chieftains to discuss countermeasures, and he was actually the one who assigned them. Others are commanded to do what they are told.

In the face of what can be said to be the strongest core force of a legion, even if the orcs have an absolute numerical advantage, they dare not have any luck, and the Baroque is ready to suffer heavy casualties.

There is no such thing as a good way to attack, and sometimes a stupid way is the best way! Most of the five thousand orcs will be waiting here for the enemy to come. Once the core team of the Human Legion arrives, immediately charge them and attract all the attention of the humans, and Protoya and Beamon Abbas will also be in the attacking team, as the Beamon Behemoth is the best target to attract the attention of the mage. It is bound to reveal some loopholes, and then Anglei and the other three beast armored warriors lead the hungry wolf legion all equipped with demon fine spears to attack from behind, which can definitely catch them off guard. As for the Baroque...... He will be ready for the final and fatal blow!

Immediately in action, Baroque led the Hungry Wolf Legion to the left and quickly left. All the five thousand orcs were in full array, and the heights to the south had already appeared in the figure of human cavalry. More and more, and finally a few hundred people showed up. They also seemed to see the large number of orcs in front of them. The human horn whistled, and more than a dozen cavalry galloped in different directions, apparently to gather reinforcements, leaving little time for the orcs to attack. ............... Dividing line ...............

Among the ten commanders of the Adria Army, General Humpel was not the best, but his position was the most secure. He had been sitting in the position of Captain of the Double-Headed Eagle for twenty years, even longer than His Majesty the Emperor Antony had been on the throne. The other legionnaires secretly called him Old Oak, not because he was as hard and calm as an oak, but simply because of his rigid and unchanging style. But it's also this style. The two-headed eagle under his command was neither the best, but it was also not the bottom legion, and the performance was as smooth as ever. And he was also known for his loyalty to the Odria royal family, trusted by two generations of emperors. The Double-Headed Eagle has always been stationed in the outer city of the Dulong Imperial Capital, and is one of the most reliable armies of the Crown.

After all, he is old, and he may have to retire from the position of regiment commander in a few years. Although His Majesty Anthony trusted Humpel as always, and had even promised to let Boris, the son of General Humpel, take over the position of commander of the corps after he retired. Continue to serve the royal family. But Hampel also knew that even if his son took over the Double-Headed Eagle Legion, if he didn't have military merits to serve the public, he would not be able to lead an elite army, so it became the most urgent thing to let Boris make war achievements.

Perhaps blessed by the god of light, this year's wedding celebration of the 30th anniversary of the emperor and his wife is the best opportunity. Old Hampel even went to the Imperial Prime Minister, and finally managed to let the Two-Headed Eagle Legion enter the northern tundra to catch the orcs. He handed over the command of the legion to his son Boris, who did not need to be too good, as long as he successfully completed the task of capturing the orcs, Boris would be considered to have a firm foothold in the legion!

Old Hampel stayed in the grassland of the horse farmland, and did not follow the Double-headed Eagle Legion into the northern tundra, and naturally did not know that his dear son did not abide by the stable tradition of the Two-headed Eagle Legion, but chose to disperse his forces out of meritorious service, so tragedy inevitably appeared!

"General...... General Humpel, it's not good......" Old Humpel rode a horse on the scenic grassland, and suddenly a cavalry galloped in the distance, his armor was broken, covered in blood, he jumped off his horse in embarrassment, and replied in a panic: "General Humpel, it's not good...... Count Boris, he ......!"

A wave of uneasiness welled up in his heart, and old Humpel's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "What's wrong with Boris?

"Our legion has been attacked, Count Boris...... He was killed by the orcs ......!"

Old Hampel fell headlong from his horse! )
