Chapter Twenty-Eight: Boss, Are You Digging Too Many Traps?
Although Myron's army has average ability to fight, he has learned a lot of tricks with Myron this time, and traps are the essence of these tricks. Myron felt that destroying the enemy without bloodshed was the way to go, so the soldiers of the infantry regiment were sparing no effort to improve their level of making traps, and this promotion was even higher than improving their combat ability.
However, the benefits are obvious, as Myron's route is mostly wooded, which makes it very convenient for them to set traps. So, the infantry regiment made a trap in front, and the orcs followed behind, and after two days, not only did not shorten the distance, but also lost more than 200 orc warriors in vain.
While marching, Myron was always analyzing the intentions of the pursuers behind. Since the orcs can set up ambushes to lure the enemy, there should be a tactical arrangement to annihilate them in the future, instead of following them unhurriedly like now, as if they are not in a hurry at all.
"So, what exactly are the arrangements of the orcs that we don't know?" For the opponent in the first encounter, it was naturally difficult for Myron to guess the other party's intentions. Anyway, Myron still made a decision: "In the direction of the base, the rapid march for 5 hours, all of them will move for me!"
"You, say you, don't fucking dig holes, get out. Although there is no specific reason, Myron still gave up this way of slowly depleting the enemy, and returned to the city at full speed instead. At this time, Myron didn't know that it was because of this sudden and unreasonable decision that the fate of the infantry regiment was saved. In hindsight, Myron blames this on a strategist's natural instinct for conspiracy.
It's been 2 days since Myron last escorted prisoners, and although Nick is still guarding the camp, the soldiers in his hands are all "veterans" who have experienced 1-3 actual battles. Of course, everyone knows how effective these "veterans" are, so once an orc really attacks, most of them have to rely on traps to defend.
"But isn't this trap too much?" Nick didn't agree with Myron's order, since there were only 500 orcs, and Myron had already eliminated more than 300, so the orcs who could attack were very limited. There should be traps, but it's good to have a circle around the camp, and if you make so many things inside and out, there will be no place to grow crops around here in the future. And even if we dig traps, it's very dangerous to walk at night, right?
Although he doesn't agree with Myron's idea, since the boss has given the order, he should seriously implement it as the person in charge. This is also thanks to the fact that it is Nick who stays, and if he is replaced by the other two battalion commanders, it is estimated that it will be difficult to carry out Myron's orders so strategically.
And Myron's order was as follows: "Recently, in addition to inspecting the manpower of the camp, everyone must participate in the work of laying traps, not only in the camp, but also in the camp to set up enough traps." Before I go back, the more traps you do, the better. ”
"You said that if we dig so many traps to come out, even if there are thousands of orcs, they won't be able to rush at all. Soldier A said to Soldier B.
"The regimental commander's previous decisions were all very wise and martial, but this time it was a bit of a fuss. You say we don't train for a good training time, and come here to fix traps. A thousand orcs, where are you going to get me a thousand orcs to step on your trap?" said Soldier B.
"Aren't there a lot of orcs, hey! That's a thousand, to say the least. Soldier A continued.
"Okay, let's not do this, if we want to fight, we've made a move, and you want to sneak attack when I turn my head?"
"No...... There are a lot of orcs! Run, get back to camp. When Soldier A finished speaking, he ran to the camp with a shout.
"Alright, don't say it like the real thing. For the sake of your realistic acting, I'll give you some face and look back. Soldier B quickly turned around, and then quickly turned back. In just a few moments, Soldier A had already run far away.
"What kind of beast is there...... "Since he turned back too quickly, Soldier B didn't really observe anything, he just wanted to tease Soldier A. But after 2 seconds, Soldier B reacted violently, he did see a lot of things just now, and those things did look like orcs, "How is it possible?
"No!" Soldier B finally realized that it was not that he was wrong, but that there were indeed many orcs, more than 1,000 of them.
So, "Ah!! the orcs are coming!!" Soldier B dropped his tools and ran towards the camp, but he didn't run a few steps and suddenly stepped on the trap, "Bang...... , eh. ”
At the same time, Nick is organizing everyone to return to defense. "Damn, there are so many orcs, to say less than 1,000. The infantry regiment was ready to defend itself on the basis of traps and battalion defenses. Orc slaves were all chained, and Terran slaves were each given a weapon to participate in the defense. Fight!"
After a few minutes, Soldier B finally dragged his badly sprained right leg out of the pit, thanks to the trap before he could equip the blade. But it's okay if he doesn't come out, as soon as Soldier B comes up, he is dragged up by a collar by a five-five-three-thick orc.
"Commander, what should I do with this fool who stepped into a trap I dug myself?" the stout orc soldier asked.
"Damn, stupider than you, what's the use of keeping it, take it and feed it to my war wolf. "This orc leader is a werewolf, and one eye makes him look particularly hideous. Hearing the food, his car let out a low-pitched roar and a puddle of saliva came out of his mouth.
"Stand back, rest for a while, in order to find them Lao Tzu has been gone for two days and two nights, and the big meal should be enjoyed slowly. The werewolf warlord licked his tongue and said.
"Archon, will they run away?" the orc was clearly a diligent and inquisitive master.
"Hmph, run? Can they outrun my wolf cavalry? It's better to run, it's easy to kill. "Although the werewolf commander only brought out 50 wolf cavalry, he was full of momentum when he went to that station.
"The Great Commander ,......" This orc seems to have a problem.
"Don't ask, I'll feed you to the wolf if I ask again. "Sure enough, the Grand Commander is not the type to teach people tirelessly.
"I don't know when they will come back, but it is estimated that these orcs will attack in about half an hour. Nick said to his men.
"They've come all the way with poor health, should we strike first?" said one of the "smart" men.
Nick looked at him seriously, then nodded and said, "Okay, you go out and hit them by surprise first, and we support you spiritually." ”
The "smart" soldier suddenly looked very embarrassed, "That's ...... , battalion commander, hehe...... , I ......".
"I'm a, just a few of us, it's not enough to rush out and stuff people's teeth. Passing on the order, long-range strikes are the mainstay, thanks to Myron, because of these traps, we have a glimmer of hope of survival. Although Nick was teaching his men a lesson, he suddenly admired Myron's wise decision.
"Soldiers of the infantry regiment, I won't say anything superfluous, it's the orcs who come, this is a race that won't talk to us about peace and reason. As for the orcs, there were no captives among us, only food. Don't try to surrender, don't try to escape, until the regimental commander comes back is our only hope of survival!
"Understood!" said the fighters of the infantry regiment in unison. Although the voice was loud, the morale of the army was obviously not high, and some of the soldiers were already trembling.
Although they had fought orcs a few times before, they were all 7 times the strength of the enemy, and the battle would end in a wave of orcs charges. The time was short and the casualties were low, so the soldiers did not feel much fear.
At the moment, there are less than 300 warriors left behind in the base, and if you count the slaves who have little combat effectiveness, there are more than 800 people, but no one will equate the combat power of slaves with the ferocious orcs.
The only thing that gave everyone a hint of comfort was the traps that had been desperately laid a few days ago, and these traps were enough and deep enough, and if the orcs wanted to fill them all, then 5,000 people would not be enough. However, it is impossible for orcs to step on traps around this hill, and after the real fight, most of the traps will not have a chance to play.
"Hey, come here. You take 50 warriors and rush up to try, His Royal Highness William said that if you encounter a trap when attacking, try to shrink the formation and reduce the area of the charge. The Werewolf Commander said to the "problem orc."
Although there are a few more problems, this orc is a real level 5 warrior, and it shouldn't be a problem to test the terrain.
The location of the trap is basically a circle with a radius of 100 meters around the base, and as long as the enemy enters the range of the bow and arrow, then they may step on various traps at any time. Because Myron attaches great importance to traps, he personally developed a lot of traps suitable for jungle warfare some time ago, these traps are interlocking, true and false, virtual and real, and if you step on it, you will either be seriously injured or half-disabled. There is nothing you can't do, only what you can't imagine.
And one of the roads that looks clean and spacious is the essence of the surrounding traps, with the highest density, the most lethality, and the strongest camouflage ability. This road is exactly the route that the orc warriors intend to attack.
"All! Forty-five degree projectile ready! Steady! Steady! Release!" Nick saw that 50 orc warriors were in range, so he ordered a volley.
Because the offensive route was uphill, the orcs were obviously moving much slower, and there was a small chain of traps more than 90 meters away, which caused all the orcs to stop in this position.
