Chapter 85: Prelude to the Raid
Chu Mad s desperate plan even the elves gasped when they heard it, and at the same time they had to admire, the human race really thought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In their relatively primitive civilization, they largely relied on temporary hunting or gathering for supplies. The orcs learned to look like wild animals, so they were able to dispatch 300,000 people in one go.
In the past, a war was a battle of three or four hundred people at most, not because they didn't want to invest more, but because the supplies couldn't keep up!
Why fight for territory, the scope of hunting can be expanded when the territory is large, not only can it provide food for more clansmen, but also more troops can be dispatched in foreign wars. But it is clear that in the last three decades, this pattern has begun to be broken.
However, even if this rule is broken, the orcs will still rely heavily on hunting and gathering for supplies. Domesticated animals must leave some young as a basis for breeding, and there are not many that can be deployed. They also need to fight quickly, and they also need to attack the elven tribes to get food.
On the other hand, if the elves drive away all the animals, they will transport all the food stored by the tribe. The other party only relied on gathering fruit to get supplies, which was obviously not enough. At this time, if they attack their baggage again and cut off their food, then they don't need the elves to take action, and they will be in chaos themselves.
The orcs are not as united as the elves. The diversity of nationalities makes it impossible for them to achieve true unity on their own. The so-called Supreme Council is nothing more than the product of compromise between various ethnic groups, or among other powerful ethnic groups.
"Good idea...... Damn, how can humans be so despicable......" Hammer also had to admire the plan, although a little disdainful of it.
"Can you also take these hundreds of warriors of the dwarf clan to fight hard with each other and die on the battlefield like warriors?" Chu Mad asked rhetorically.
"Forget it, we don't have a very large population. Hammer shook his head at once, and some things were indeed very helpless.
"Does anyone else have an opinion? We don't have much time!" Liu Xing finally gave an ultimatum.
Who dares to have an opinion? If there is an opinion, I am afraid that I will be driven to fight directly with the orcs, right? No one is a fool, can not fight hard or not, they are not orcs, there is no advantage in reproduction.
Maybe centaurs and halflings can, but these two peoples are not going to joke with the lives of their own people.
Now that the strategy has been decided, how to implement Chu Madness and Liu Xing doesn't matter, and how to dispatch it is Linglong and the mountain range people who are responsible. If you don't do it well, you don't care about the dead people. That night, they took 5,000 Terran reinforcements, and under the leadership of the elven guides, spared a long way and went straight to the enemy's rear!
After the Terran reinforcements began to attack, Linglong also immediately announced that all the tribes on the front line would be evacuated, and all the clansmen began to retreat. At the same time, a large number of elves were deployed, and the power of nature was used to drive the animals to move towards the interior.
At the same time, centaur spearmen, archers, and forest elves began to advance around the perimeter of the orcs. From time to time, they attack the scouts, and even the rats and rabbits who are harvesting trees and plants. But they don't love to fight, they almost go with one blow, and at the same time, they use planting control to let the flowers release a rich floral fragrance, which masks their taste.
This made the tracking force of the orc clan unable to catch up with them at all, and could only silently collect the corpses of the slain clansmen. This is not the end, Chu Yan's plan is to attack and harass uninterruptedly and irregularly, and it is night and day.
Every once in a while, the orcs are attacked, and the loss is nothing more than ordinary cannon fodder. It's just that this also makes the remaining cannon fodder dare not continue to go out, and the scouts also began to shrink the reconnaissance area to avoid being suddenly attacked by the enemy.
The movement of the entire force began to slow down, until small groups of hunting troops began to be attacked, and the orcs had to shrink their defenses to ensure the safety of their headquarters.
"Damn, when did these elves become so cunning?" the Third Elder of the Orcs scolded viciously, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of invisible and untouchable attack, and at the same time very jealous.
"They make the most of their strengths, look at these arrows......" the Second Elder took out one of the arrows, "This is nothing more than a wooden arrow created by the Plantation Control Technique, but with the addition of the power of nature, it has become very sharp and strong. The last thing this forest lacks is plants, which means that as long as they have the strength, they can keep shooting arrows at us.
These plants became their best helpers, providing them not only with enough concealment, but also with enough sources of weapons. They can replenish their arrows at any time, but we can't. If this kind of wooden arrow is not attached by the force of nature, then it is not powerful at all, and there is no need to worry about us seizing it. ā
"In other words, the elves have learned the means of warfare!" concluded the Grand Elder, though he was reluctant to admit it.
"The Terrans, the Terrans have changed a lot of things. Their appearance has given us the means to enable the weak to exert their combat effectiveness, and even the possibility of completely artificially creating blood rage.
Obviously, their existence has also changed the elven race. I'm really curious, where did these human races, which look like tailless monkeys, come from?" said the second elder a little excitedly, this emotion rarely appeared in him, you can imagine how excited he is now!
"The key now is whether we want to give up on continuing to open the way and attack the elves directly. We don't have a lot of supplies, and it's clearly not enough to rely solely on livestock. The Great Elder said slowly.
"There are still a few batches of livestock that can be deployed, and at the same time, we also need to continue hunting and gathering, the key is that we must capture a few elven tribes as soon as possible and plunder the food they have hoarded for many years, even if it is dried fruit!" the four elders suddenly spoke.
"Send more troops to hunt, and if you don't have them, it's easy to have problems. But that won't be until tomorrow, and it's already getting dark. Although I don't want to admit it, many of our people can't see at night, and there is no possibility of marching in the dark. The Third Elder said.
"Then set up camp for the time being, halve the food, and we have to be just in case. At the same time, external reconnaissance must be increased, and I don't want the enemy's arrows to fall into the position while we sleep!" the Grand Elder suggested.
Naturally, this proposal was also approved by the other elders, so the orc army was quickly arranged.
At the same time, with the help of the cover of the night, Chu Madness and Liu Xing decisively went around the rear, and finally arrived at the rear of the orc clan in the middle of the night, and they even saw the domestic animals in the orc army.
"Success or failure in this move, do you have confidence?" Liu Xing looked at Chu Mad, and of course there were other Terran warriors.
"If you don't have confidence, you'll still be here?" Chu glanced at Liu Xing wildly, and the soldiers behind him also nodded.
"The time of the operation is Pingdan, which is what you often call after three o'clock! first deal with those sentries, and then raid into the opponent's position, targeting those baggage supplies. Retreat immediately after you succeed, no problem, right?" Liu Xing asked again.
"No problem!" It was strange to say that there was still a problem so clearly, and everyone naturally nodded back.
"Okay, rest on the spot now, don't let the other party find out! Prepare for a surprise attack!" Liu Xing announced with satisfaction.
