Chapter 113: Retreat, Retreat

The elimination of 30,000 human soldiers did not have the slightest effect on the overall battle situation, except for a slight increase in the morale of the orcs.

Baroque only smiled, and continued to lead his army back, through the mountains, and into the grassland of the horse farm. At this time, it is the middle of May, and the grassland is lush with water and grass, and the endless green grass is displayed in front of you like a felt carpet. If it weren't for this war, the orcs would have been driving cattle and sheep and grazing happily, and now the abundant grass would have been left to the human enemy. The destruction of the steppe would not be allowed by the Baroque, because he firmly believed that victory belonged to the orcs, and they would soon retake the place, and at that time, no one would be able to take the steppe away from the orcs!

The tribe had already embarked on the retreat half a month ago. Zainzu himself led 50,000 soldiers to protect him, and scouts would come to him every once in a while to report the location of the tribe, so Baroque was not worried about their danger. It was up to him to concentrate on dealing with the invasion of the human army.

The two million human troops finally walked out of the mountains and entered the grassland from dozens of mountain passes! The abundant grassland also greatly relieved the pressure on the human cavalry, and they no longer needed to transport a large number of mounts' pasture from the rear, saving a lot of manpower and material resources. However, the cautious Davenport did not let the army advance faster, but began to rest and regroup on the edge of the prairie. A large number of cavalry scouts were scattered to search for the location of the orc army, and once again gather all the generals and commanders, and began to assign strategies and various tasks.

Two million troops, Davenport was not ready to disperse them, but arranged them in a horizontal line, pushing horizontally towards the northern tundra, and no one was allowed to rush out and destroy the formation. No dead ends are left behind, leaving the orcs with nowhere to start. And once the traces of the orc army are discovered, then the human army will not lose sight of one or the other, and the army commanded by each general will be immediately rescued by the army next to it.

It can be said that Davenport completely transferred the rigid and rigid dogmatic military column to reality. The generals under his command may have some disapproval and slander in their hearts, but they did not dare to speak out against it. There are even some people who gloat at him, waiting to see his jokes! In the eyes of the generals, the orcs have always been a swarm of blood and bravery. Even if their combat strength increases, how much stronger will they be? Two million people gathered together, and the speed is not fast at all, and I am afraid that even if they find traces of the enemy, they can only watch them flee.

But the Baroque did not see it that way. After receiving information from the scouts, he immediately discarded his unrealistic illusions and immediately sent scouts to give orders to all the orc generals to retreat. Leave not one behind, all evacuate the grassland of the horse farm, and retreat into the northern tundra!

Davenport's tactics are very safe, especially in the grassland of the horse farm, where there is no geographical advantage to rely on, and if the orcs dare to engage the human army, they are in danger of being trapped. And everyone knows that once caught in the whirlpool of the huge army of mankind. Absolutely going to die, can't die again. No one can save it! Since the Baroque has nowhere to speak, it will simply withdraw from the steppe of the horse breeding land and enter the northern tundra, where to compete with human beings by virtue of their familiarity with the geographical advantages.

The orcs were not fooled, which also made Davenport a little disappointed. He had hoped that the orcs would come and engage once, even if it was a small victory, to boost morale. Unexpectedly, the Baroque was very cunning, and immediately withdrew all the horses from the breeding ground, without any delay. This also made Davenport very wary. He already had a hunch that unless something special happened. Otherwise, the orcs would not have come to fight the humans head-on!

However, Davenport is not worried, this time the Holy See convocation order is conveyed to give the orcs an unforgettable lesson. The rear was extremely well supplied, and even each legion was equipped with a storage bracelet. It contained enough food supplies for the legion to consume for several months, and even though there were two million troops, Davenport was not worried about supplies now. He even left a hole in the supply road in the rear, hoping that the orc Baroque would be able to sneak up on the grain route. It's a pity that the cunning Baroque was not fooled and let his trap fall through.

After initial contact, both Davenport and Baroque. They all know each other's style. The opportunistic method is not effective at all, and only by doing a real game can we really distinguish the winner from the loser. And in this way, it is very bad for the Baroque!

After a little rest for two days, the human army passed through the grassland of the horse farm and entered the northern tundra. This is not a plain with a flat river, but undulating, complex and rugged hills, and it is obvious that it is unrealistic to expect millions of people to march together!

Davenport divided the army of two million, but a group of at least 100,000 men, ordered them to keep enough distance from each other. Heading into the depths of the tundra. Throughout, Davenport didn't go out of his way to find the main army of the orcs to fight, but instead targeted the Valley of Miracles deep in the tundra. Because he knew that as long as he continued like this, the first to endure it would definitely be the orcs, and even if the Baroque had a good plan, it would be useless, and he could only fight with the humans head-on............ Unless he doesn't care about the people of the Valley of Miracles, which is absolutely impossible!

Baroque smiled after knowing Davenport's purpose, led his army to continue to retreat, and sent someone to order Muru, Plotaya, Lorne Khan and other commanders to lead about half of the orc army to retreat with him. And the other half of the remaining 200,000 orcs of Tulayan, Angre and others, he gave diametrically opposite ordersβ€”β€”β€”β€” ordering them to fight separately, and if there is a good opportunity, they might as well launch a surprise attack, in short, everything is arranged separately. Baroque lets go here!

Three hundred miles to the rear there is the first line of defense, which is a river valley left after the melting of the glacier in winter, stretching from west to east for nearly a thousand miles, although the water flow is not deep, but it is very wide, especially the terrain on both sides of the valley is extremely unbalanced, the north bank is more than ten meters higher than the south bank. The Baroque would lead its army to occupy the banks of the river to the north and prepare for a blockade! Although it certainly could not be stopped for long, the strategic purpose of the Baroque was to delay the pace of mankind and delay as much time as possible. Instead of defeating the enemy. At least not realistically!

The army under Davenport's command advanced steadily, leaving no chance for the orcs. Even if there were some legions that showed loopholes due to speed problems, there were more than 10,000 people in that area, and it was not worth it for Tulayan to attack. Because they are going to attack a large army, they must be in great danger themselves, and even one of them may be trapped to death. When the gain is not proportional to the effort, everyone knows what to do.

In the very beginning, retreat became the main tone. Except for Anglei, who seized an opportunity and launched a wolf cavalry to attack the outermost part of the human army, killing more than 20,000 people, the orcs did not have any success. Even this result would have been almost trapped by humans, if it weren't for the fact that Hubertus's Great Boar Squad rushed bravely at the critical moment to tear a way for the wolf cavalry who were blocked in the middle to escape. I'm afraid the orcs won't just pay the price of thousands of casualties!

There are enough human soldiers, they can consume it, but the orcs can't, more than 2,000 orcs have been killed in the battle, which makes Angleigh feel distressed, and he doesn't dare to attack rashly!

Seeing Angele's performance, Tulayan thought that he would not do better than him, so he obediently hid in the shadows and continued to wait for the opportunity.

Half of the orcs retreated to the north of the valley to set up defenses, and the human army was crushing forward like chariots, and no force could stop their movements. And around them, the cavalry of the orcs roamed like jackals, but they couldn't find too good opportunities. I can only hang it and wait patiently.

Davenport was helpless against the annoying orc cavalry behind him. Among his two million troops, the number of cavalry was less than 500,000, so he still had to raise mounts and horses from various sources, and even requisitioned a batch from the Kaplin Empire to get it together. And with the natural cavalry...... Orcs, it is definitely unrealistic to compete with cavalry.

It can be said that the loss of the grassland of the horse breeding land at the beginning began to show the evil consequences at this time. Audria did not have the best pastures, and even a large number of healthy horses were taken captive by the orcs. Let the orcs not be afraid of lack of mounts, and even extravagant to the point of one person and two horses, while humans can only maintain cavalry to protect themselves, wanting to leave the infantry behind to pursue the orcs............ Davenport sensibly gave up on the idea.

Continuing to advance steadily, they finally reached the southern shore of that glacial valley. This wide, shallow river alerted Davenport, who immediately sent out the Wind Scouts to patrol the sky. At this moment, a large number of orc phantom warriors with blue metallic wings also flew from the opposite side, and their target was the Wind Scout.

The Wind Whispering Scouts have lost too much by eating the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armor Warriors, and they have already developed a sense of resistance and fear. Although the speed of the beast armor warriors was definitely not able to catch up with them, they did not dare to take one more step forward, just above their own army, and checked the situation on the other side from afar.

The Baroque appeared on the opposite bank, a mile wide valley, and they could all faintly perceive each other. Baroque was surrounded by bestial warriors. Except for a few assigned to other generals, there were nearly two hundred at this time. Davenport was also a Phantom Crystal Armored Warrior, and he could feel the majestic aura of the Phantom Crystal on the far other side! There were so many Phantom Armored Warriors of the Orcs? Davenport thought to himself, this was beyond his expectations. He was only protected by dozens of Phantom Crystal Armor warriors around him, and it seemed that he still underestimated the background of the Baroque.

This information should be sent back to Guangming Mountain immediately! Davenport sent a wind-whispering scout and immediately flew away.

How the orcs used the phantom beast was originally a mystery. But in the past, it was not taken seriously because it was too rare, but now that so many phantom armor warrior breaths suddenly appeared, the Holy See can no longer be negligent and ignore!(To be continued.) )
