Chapter 34: Winter Raid (1)
One hundred and sixty-three warriors fought over who would stay to protect the tribe. Everyone wants to follow the Baroque patriarch to raid the severed tribe, and no one wants to stay and watch the family. It was not easy for the Baroque to make a decision on this matter, after all, it would discourage some people, and in the end, out of desperation, they had to use the oldest and fairest method...... Lottery!
β the others either mounted on the wolf or the wolf sled, giggling and excitedly preparing to go, Angel wanted to cry without tears. But who had made him unlucky, and had to take his thirty equally frustrated men, and stare at them with almost jealousy.
Baroque didn't comfort Angley, but just called him aside and explained in a low and serious voice, which made Angley's expression feel better. patted his chest and promised that he would definitely protect the tribe.
β After hugging Celine and Susan, who was obviously a little unnatural, he pretended not to see Celine's fiery eyes, jumped on Rak's back, and galloped away. Baroque has always been a cautious person, he left the magic giant crossbow in the cave, as the killer weapon of the tribe, if there is a real emergency, Angel this lamingo beast armored warrior can not solve it, then it needs to use a strategic giant crossbow weapon. I specially confessed to Celine and Susan last night, and also confessed my relationship with Susan to Celine for the first time, although Celine had a cold face towards Baroque all night. But I also know the seriousness of this matter, there is no big trouble, but some filial piety always needs to be vented, if you lift the baroque clothes at this time, you will find that the animal hair on his chest has been wiped off a lot of ............!
With the Severed Tribe's orcs attached, finding their settlements is not a problem. The wolf's thick wolf claw pads are different from artiodactyls, whether it is a wolf cavalry or a sleigh pulled by a wild wolf, it can run on the snow. It's fast enough, too. Only four or five days later, they had already spotted traces of the orc tribe.
Salomon was one of the Swollen Cavalry of the Severed Head Tribe, and was appointed by the Baroque to lead the way. He led a few of his men to act as scouts, always walking more than ten miles ahead of the raiding team. At this time, they were all nested in the snow, and they looked at the tent in front of them in a hilly high place. The orcs walking around are very strange...... These are not the Orcs of the Severed Tribe. Salomon thinks he has grown up in the Severed Head Tribe for so many years. I don't recognize the wrong person yet.
"It's strange, these orcs are not from the severed head tribe, and I don't even know any of them. What about you?" Salomon asked his men, confused.
The two wolf horsemen, also from the Severed Head Tribe, shook their heads, signaling that they didn't know the strangers. On the contrary, in the end, the orc from the original mid-mountain tribe showed a strange expression, he was surprised at first, and then his face quickly turned red, and his eyes were full of anger. "Roar...... It's those traitors. It's the betrayer of the Mid-Levels tribe, damn Kansu, who came here with this group of traitors......!"
Salomon was able to be appointed as a scout by the Baroque because of his calm character. Finding the abnormal behavior of his subordinates, he immediately suppressed him, and quietly dragged him away with his companions. After confirming that he would not be noticed, he asked in a deep voice. The orc warrior was furious: "Damn it. It was Kansu and his minions who betrayed the Banshan tribe, slaughtered our brothers, and stole all the livestock and food...... If it weren't for the Baroque patriarch's mercy in receiving us, most of my relatives and people would have starved to death ............. β
He cursed intermittently. While explaining the reason. Salomon immediately made a decision and patted the orc on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go back and report to the Baroque patriarch." Trust me, the patriarch will take care of this. β........................
β When it comes to Salomon's report, Baroque is a little surprised, but not too surprised. If Old Kansu wants to avoid the Blue Wolf Tribe, he is bound to find a strong backer, and there are only the Severed Head Tribe and the Roaring Tribe within a radius of thousands of miles around here, so he will naturally take refuge in the Severed Head Tribe, which is also a member of the Frost Wolf Clan. ...
Led by Soto, the orcs of the Mid-Mountain tribes all flocked to Baroque's side, one by one emotional, with anger and longing in their eyes. Old Kansu was leaving, but no one would stop him, but he shouldn't have robbed all the livestock and supplies so that the rest of the people could not survive. Even in the face of the tribesmen who blocked him, he was even more ruthless in the killer, causing more than a dozen orcs to be killed, and his ruthlessness completely angered the clansmen.
Baroque did not disappoint the new people, he looked at the sky and immediately decided: "The snow is blocked, Kansu and his men will not leave the settlement, but they are blocking the way. And if we are to surprise the severed tribe, we must not allow Kansu and one of his men to escape. Tulayan, you lead a group of men around to the right to outflank. Lorne Khan, you outflank your men to the left. Barrotan, with twenty wolf cavalry, circled in a large circle to block their retreat. Muru, Soto, you two lead the rest of the people in a frontal assault. It is important for all to remember that if anyone surrenders, they are not allowed to kill indiscriminately...... But if someone is about to escape, they will be killed, and they must not leak the slightest rumor, which is related to the success or failure of our raid on the severed head tribe, you know?"
All the orcs couldn't hide their excitement, and they should have said in unison. Baroque waved his hand: "Action!"
Barrotan and his wolf cavalry first left in a large circle to block the back of the Kansu tribe, and Tulayan and Lorne Khan quickly drove the wolf sled to their assigned position, occupying the most favorable terrain, holding a battle axe or heavy sword, and waiting with all their hearts. At this time, the main team had advanced to the closest position of the Kansu tribe. The Baroque rode around Lac for a long time behind, not ready to interfere in their first battle. Zainzu and Soto led a team of more than twenty wolf cavalry to launch a charge and destroy the settlement that had disturbed Kansu, and then Muru led the rest of the orc infantry behind to clear the net. After the plan was properly calculated, as the leader of the operation, Mu Lu issued a deep order to attack, more than twenty wolves raised their heads and let out a terrible wolf howl, carrying the orcs on their backs to the enemy's camp, and the orc cavalry behind them were not to be outdone, and they all roared and rushed forward.
The tribe of Kansu was clearly in a panic, scurrying around like headless flies in search of weapons against their enemies. originally thought that if he took refuge in the severed head tribe, safety was no longer a problem, but he didn't expect to be attacked by the enemy at all. In a panic, he found the long sword and short spear, and the enemy's wolf cavalry had already rushed to the front. There was no mercy, the tomahawk was wielded, and all orcs who dared to hold weapons were mercilessly killed. Dozens of tents, with only three hundred men, resisted for a short time, and after dozens of corpses lying on the ground, they finally collapsed, threw away their weapons, and some fled in all directions without their lives, and some knelt directly on the ground with empty hands raised, signaling to give up resistance - in a war between orcs, this represents surrender. According to the rules, the opposing side generally does not harm them again.
Sure enough, the attacking enemy no longer paid attention to the surrender of troops, and only pursued and killed the fleeing orcs. At this time, Muru also led the orc infantry to surround the largest beast skin tent, and dozens of the most fierce orc warriors around the beast skin tent, Lao Kansu hid behind with a frightened face, and shouted in panic: "Who are you? Why are you attacking us? I am a ...... who is protected by the head of the tribe of Hachaga!"
It's a pity that he moved out of his backer and didn't let the enemy stop. The pursuers are still chasing and killing, and those orcs who have escaped far away can be seen in the distance blocked by the enemy ambush soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of them, and if they resist slightly, they will directly hack the local area.
The disparity in strength is fundamentally disproportionate, and the expected fight can only be regarded as a warm-up. Not a single one escaped, the corpses were everywhere and no one paid attention, only the living orcs were driven together. The ten minutes of battle were over, and the warriors of the Blue Wolf Tribe were only slightly wounded, while most of the other two hundred male orcs under the old Kansu were dead, except for nearly a hundred sturdy young female orcs. ...
"Kansu, is your heart black? You can actually kill your own tribesmen? Unexpectedly, today we are here to avenge the brothers you killed. At this time, Soto rode a wolf with giant eyes to the surrounded Kansu, and scolded coldly from a high position. Most of the more than a dozen orcs killed by Kansu at the beginning were good brothers who followed him, which made Soto sad for a long time, and when he saw the enemy today, he was very red-eyed.
"Is that you, Soto?" Old Kansu and the orcs around him were taken aback, only to realize that half of the people who attacked them were former clansmen. Some of the orcs guarding Kansu were already starting to tremble............ They are all Kansu's henchmen, and they are the direct murderers who killed their clansmen and snatched livestock that day, and as long as they are not idiots at this moment, they can guess that their fate will definitely not be too good!
In the face of a desperate situation, it stimulated the ferocity of the orcs, and dozens of orcs exchanged glances with each other, suddenly roared, and all rushed in the direction behind them. There was a group of orc infantry led by Tulayan, without wolves, seemingly the weakest, from where they were ready to storm and escape.
Tulayan was angry and felt that he had been slighted. yelled at his subordinates: "Bastard cubs look down on us, teach them a lesson!" Then his body suddenly erupted with a cloud of beastly battle qi, wielding a huge battle axe like a walking meat grinder, rushing towards the enemy. Behind him, there were ten orc soldiers at the same time, exuding a faint beast battle aura, forming an iron wall of beast battle qi warriors for a while!
Poor old Kansu's men, they would not have thought that among the seemingly weak orc infantry behind Tulayan and him, there were actually more than a dozen warriors who had cultivated the primary beast battle qi, and these infantry were the most rigorous and elite warriors. When they wield their huge cold battle axes, they are no less terrifying than the wolf cavalry!
There was a scream, accompanied by a rain of blood, and even before the brothers from several other directions could come to the rescue, Tulayan had already led his men to destroy this wave of attacks. Of the thirty or forty enemies, more than half had fallen, and only seven or eight orcs, covered in the blood of their companions, stood there in a daze, with unquenchable fear in their eyesβthese were madmen, demons!
"Patriarch Kansu, we meet again. Baroque rode over on Lac at this time, and said with a smile to the trembling old Kansu. (To be continued.) (γ ))
