Chapter 30 This is a very good running force
It's not that you can't retreat, and there are often some people who throw down their weapons and run away in all directions, huh...... Yes, that's called running for your life.
Myron knew that his army's combat effectiveness was still very weak, and the only advantage over the orcs was the long-range advantage, once a large number of orcs rushed over and entered the white-knuckle battle, it was almost impossible to resist with the strength of the recruits. Even if they were given each a tower shield, the only ones who could block the orc's charge when they met the enemy head-on were these level 4 shield-wielding warriors.
And Myron is worthy of military genius, and it only took him a short time to familiarize the army with his strange methods of fighting. Although 2 months is not enough time to raise their personal strength to a certain height, it is more than enough to let the recruits learn the combat skills of bow and arrow salvo, crossbow arrow point shooting, spear combination stabbing, spear throwing, ignition, and trap burial.
Myron used the combat skills of the recruits to take the defense of the base to a new level. Although the commander of this battle is Nick, it can be said that if Myron hadn't formulated a complete set of response plans, then even if Nick's command ability was twice as strong, it would not have been possible to fight to this extent.
Seeing that the large army was evacuating in an orderly manner, the soldiers couldn't help but show surprised or excited expressions, and the tall image of Myron's uncertain prophet was also sublimated in their hearts, which gave them hope to live again. If they could live, who would want to be someone else's dinner?
The soldiers may not have thought about it that far, but Nick knew that although Myron's plan was perfect, due to the tight time, the final evacuation part was not made at all. That is to say, although the previous fight was smooth, but the soldiers' good days are coming to an end, and when the orcs rush over again, there will be no traps, no spears, towers and shields, only a desperate battle.
Of course, although the defensive part has not been done yet, there is a big gift prepared in the base that can be given out at any time.
At the same time, a few kilometers away, Myron, who was returning to the camp, said to Isaac: "I always feel that there is something wrong, will something happen to the base?"
"What are you afraid of if you have left such a sinister defensive plan, and with those traps, it shouldn't be a problem to defend against the attack of six or seven hundred orcs. Isaac didn't understand why Myron was so worried.
"The army's melee strength is limited right now, so we're in a very awkward position. If the number of attackers is within our limit, even if they come a few more times, as long as they rely on the trap, we can hold the base with very few casualties. But if the enemy attacks more than we anticipate in a single attack, as long as they have more than 800 troops, the camp is at risk of being annihilated. Myron said with a frown.
"And after the enemy came and lured the enemy into the depths with such a hand, there was no follow-up, and they only seemed to cut off our way back to the camp. No, to be exact, they just delayed our return to camp. Since the enemy knows that the army alone cannot effectively intercept us in the field, and we can go back in a circle, why go to such trouble as to set up an ambush?" Myron voiced his concerns.
"Could it be that they thought they could catch us, but they just miscalculated, after all, they have brains, huh...... You know. Isaac said as he drew a circle between his fingers and his head.
"No, it won't. First of all, even if the orcs are not good at strategy, they also know how to hunt all year round, just like they usually hunt. Since you can think of luring the enemy, then it is impossible not to have any common sense. In other words, even if there is a 10 per cent chance that it will be as you say, we should not base our strategic approach on such assumptions. Myron's brow was still furrowed.
"Secondly, if the orcs really miscalculated, then the warriors behind must have chased after us frantically, instead of following unhurriedly as they did at the beginning. And as soon as we speeded up, they followed suit, which was clearly tracking and monitoring us. There must be some other reason why they are not in a hurry to destroy us. ”
"The reason for this is nothing more than that there are other tactical arrangements, but if it is a tactical arrangement for our team, then it should be completed when the enemy is lured. As long as they can come up with four of these thousands of troops at once, no, even if it is only 800 men, we will definitely not be able to return alive. But if they don't, they probably don't have that many troops to mobilize. ”
"What should I do if I only have 2,000 orcs at my disposal and want to destroy this army?" Myron asked, but didn't ask for an answer. He crossed his arms over his chest, his brow furrowing more and more......
Myron stopped suddenly, then unconsciously opened his eyes and said loudly: "What they really want to fight is the camp! Then we can have a flank attack on the 'smooth' anti-camp!"
When Myron said this, everyone was shocked, and only this reason can explain the behavior of the orcs to lure but not destroy, that is, the camp may have been captured now.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Nick, you have to hold on. Myron looked in the direction of the camp.
The current situation is very embarrassing for the orcs, seeing the Terran soldiers descending the mountain in front of them, it is impossible not to chase them, the orcs have paid more than half of the casualties to capture this camp, and now the Terrans are finally in no danger to defend, it is a good time to annihilate them. But if you really want to chase it, the werewolf leader is also muttering, and a large part of the credit for their large casualties is due to these traps. At this time, let them continue to follow the trap behind the Terran ass, then they will naturally be a hundred unwilling.
However, there were some surprises when they saw the sturdy orc captives in the middle of the camp. Put them out, the same qualified fighters.
At this time, the werewolf commander also climbed to the top of the mountain, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled the orcs who were still kicking the mountain to return the same way, anyway, the mountain is not very big, and it will not be too long to chase it around from below. And the warriors above went to rescue the hostages first, and the werewolf commander was not in a hurry to let these warriors go down the mountain, he was afraid that after they went down the mountain, the Terran soldiers would come up from the back slope, and it would be very embarrassing at that time.
In the werewolf leader's heart, as long as these terrans can run a few more steps and run to an open place, then he can easily annihilate these five scumbags in one fell swoop. Although the losses just now were huge, they were all won by the Terrans playing tricks and playing tricks, and in addition to the wolf cavalry who rushed in, only the pikemen in the front row fought with the orcs for a few rounds.
Now the shields of those Terran warriors have been thrown away and replaced with ordinary war knives. This is basically a situation of being slaughtered by others.
However, at this moment, the square where the orc captives were placed suddenly collapsed, and almost most of the more than 100 orc warriors who came up at this time were in the square to rescue the hostages, so they entered the pit with a loud bang.
Because it is placed inside the camp and the area is very large, this pit is not very deep, and there are no sharp weapons placed in it, so you will not die if you fall, at most you will be injured by falling. But the fire that accompanied the trap was a weapon of total destruction.
Although the good thing of explosives was not found by Myron, there were several substances that could be quickly ignited Myron, because it was not explosive, so Myron could only use a large-scale trap to restrict the enemy's movement first, and then set the entire base on fire. And what attracts the enemy into the trap are those orc warriors who are bound with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is difficult to untie them for a while.
This is also the origin of the name ZERO, everything is burned, nothing is left, start from scratch.
"Run, breathe and don't look back. They should have less than 400 troops left, but we have no back, and if they catch up, we will fight to the death. "At this time, even if you count more than 200 Terran slaves, the number of retreating people is only more than 400 people, if you are really caught up, it is not a desperate battle, it is a dead end.
"Hah...... Ha....... The werewolf leader gasped as he rushed out of the fire pit with the strength of a level 7 warrior, and the fire nearly wiped out the orc army that had ascended to the base. "Damn, chase after Lao Tzu. "Being teased by the weak Terrans one after another, not to mention the violent temper of the werewolf, even if it is replaced by an elf, it will be the same as madness.
Although it was necessary to go around in a circle, the distance between the two armies was not too far, and it would take about 20 minutes to run. Orcs are significantly superior to Terrans in terms of speed and endurance, so being caught up is a sure thing.
However, when it comes to long-distance running, the infantry regiment is not a vegetarian, thanks to the daily long-distance running training, although this unit has an average increase in combat effectiveness, but in terms of escape ability, it can at least hold out with the orc army for a few rounds.
In contrast, although the slaves often raced against the orcs when they built roads before, when it came time to escape, their physical strength and endurance were significantly inferior to that of the infantry regiment.
The slave dropped all his gear, adjusted his breathing, and followed. Those who are left behind are not allowed to be supported, and only by running long enough can they win the hope of survival. Nick knew that this was not the time for a woman, and instead of taking care of those who were physically exhausted, it was better to give those who could survive the best chance of survival.
In fact, in Myron's retreat plan, not only did he not care about the slaves who fell behind, but even when he was pursued by the cavalry, he had to take the initiative to abandon the slaves and let them flee for their lives, so as to interfere with the pursuit of the cavalry. Of course, in a complete retreat plan, the road should be full of pitfalls.
