Roar...... Roar...... Roar......

The first natural snow of early winter fell, and the sky and earth were filled with howling cold winds. When Grimg Ironhide arrived in the Grey Valley, he was furious by a scene here.

Thousands of green-skinned warriors were stripped of their armor, their bodies pierced by spears, and they stood on the ground. Snowflakes lapped against the bare bodies and faces of the orcs. The green-skinned skin was mixed with white, and from a distance, it looked like a corrupted statue.

Grimg Ironhide roared, and the angry roar of orcs echoed throughout the valley. He cut off the spear that stuck in the orc's corpse, and then cut the whole corpse in half.

Beneath the axe was the dried blood of the orcs.

"Find them. ”

"Assemble!"

Ironhide roared, and he only said two words. It should be said that it is just two words, but these two words are equivalent to two iron-fisted commands. The first order told the greenskins who followed him not to pursue the human cavalry any longer, to ignore them, and to concentrate on the pursuit of the White Bear King. The second command tells the Greenskins not to separate and act together.

This was a time when Ironhide rarely called the shots, and in the past, he was just a loner, looking for an opponent worthy of a challenge. Now, Grimg Ironhide understands that against such a cunning, unconventional opponent, he can only rely on all the greenskins to find him.

Wahhhhhhhhhh

All the orcs behind him let out a wild roar.

......

Grey woodland.

After the ambush in the canyon, the large army continued to advance, without loot, and if there was any, it could not be taken away, and everyone continued to bury their heads in the road. Rhodes sat on horseback with a solemn expression, even though he had just led his troops to a beautiful ambush. However, the number of dead greenskins in the entire army of greenskins is only the tip of the iceberg, perhaps less than one-tenth. Seeing the exhausted soldiers and horses, Rhodes already realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Adult ......"

Lawrence rode to the side on a reconnaissance horse, and was about to speak, when he happened to see Palenberg, the leader of the Ugor cavalry beside Rod, and stopped talking.

"General Palenberg is not an outsider, you can tell me what is going on. ”

Rod saw Lawrence's concern, and considering Pallenberg's feelings, he asked Lawrence to tell the situation directly.

"My lord, Ironhide and his army have rushed to the valley, and they have seen the 'gift' we have left him. The wolf knight had already taken the lead and was in pursuit. At the average speed of the greenskins, if we didn't move, they would catch up in three days. ”

In front of Rod and Palenbel, Lawrence reported seriously. As the best ranger under Rhodes, although Lawrence is not a very important character, he has repeatedly sent important information, and at the same time, Rod also trusts him very much. Rhodes was not at all surprised by such a situation, Ironhide was an avid black orc warrior who would seek out opponents, even to the ends of the earth. Moreover, his stamina is very good. You can march for three days and three nights without eating or drinking. It's slow to get to that valley now.

"Three days?"

"Yes, sir. "51 Beautiful

But Pallenberg was a bit surprised. He repeated the question, and the answer was still yes.

"Rod, it looks like the situation is very unpromising. Riding on his horse, Pallenberg looked melancholy. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his whole face was covered with the sadness of time. "Three days, which means we didn't get very far from the beginning to the end. ”

"Definitely. I've thought of it a long time ago. ”

Rod buried his head and said. Like Palenberg, Rhodes is also preoccupied, but he can't show this state to the soldiers, so he has been forcing himself to look radiant and confident these days.

"No, it's worse than you expected. You should know that many soldiers are starting to lose their tracks. Even if they are a standing army with rigorous training. ”

Pallenberg turned to Rhodes and said that he hoped he would get noticed. In fact, Rhodes is already very serious, but he can only maintain the status quo until he moves on to his next destination.

"Our rapid march day and night is not an option, the soldiers cannot stop hunting to improve their food, they cannot make fires, they eat all dry and cold food. In this cold and dry weather, it is easy to cause constipation and various ailments. In fact, there are already people who can't stand it anymore. ”

"Also, we're almost out of food. There were no baggage convoys, and in this state, the army could not last long. ”

Palenberg said worriedly. The human army is different from the green skin, there are too many factors to consider, guerrilla warfare, itself is the need to divide troops to harass, disperse the enemy's main force with a small force, and release the guerrilla squad, which is equivalent to leaving it to fend for itself. However, this is the only way to ensure sufficient flexibility and mobility.

Rhodes knew, but it was impossible to deal with this outrageously large green-skinned army with traditional guerrilla tactics. The troops of 3,000 people were already scarce, and if they were divided, each team would be assigned less than one or two hundred people, and the green skins of such a scale would not even look down on it, and they might continue to turn back and beat the Watch Fortress in the next second.

In order to distract the Iron Sheet, Rhodes could only concentrate the large army and march. However, there are many problems with such a large army marching in a hurry, as Pallenberg said just now, there are always soldiers who cannot bear the body, and besides, without a logistical baggage convoy, the rations they carry with them will not last long. Humans are not greenskins, and food supplies need to be considered.

"Also, whether it is Blackhammer Fort or Heidelberg, there are soldiers who are physically exhausted and lonely. My men have two horses that can solve this problem for the time being. But over time, more and more soldiers will lose their combat effectiveness throughout the unit. ”

"Also, the cavalry harassment tactics have worked very well. But I have to tell you that some of the riders who go out every day don't come back. It's not that they're killed by the Greenskins, it's that they can't find their way and join the big army. My men will not starve to death in the wilderness, but they will not find their way to join the army!"

On horseback, Pallenberg chattered and complained.

"I know, I know all of what you're talking about. Palenberg's whining Rhodes was not surprised, in fact, the most dangerous and hardest part of the whole battle was the Ugor cavalry.

"Believe me, this won't last long, the soldiers will be repaired in no time. Ahead lies the twin rivers, and in two days we will cross this river and distance ourselves from the iron-clad troops. At that time, the soldiers can rest. ”

Rod explained.

"How do you cross the river? We don't have a boat!"

Pallenberg looked confused.

"Caroline will have a way. Didn't you notice? She hadn't cast another spell since she cast the spell at the Watch Fortress that day. It's just always recovering, waiting for the most useful moment. ”

Rod turned his head and replied.
