Chapter Twenty-Seven: Luring the Enemy "Deep"?
If the shield wall is broken, then with the combat effectiveness that the recruits have just shown, it is basically the rhythm of the annihilation of the regiment. Just now, they were equivalent to 200 to 20, and they were replaced by orcs for about 30 people.
As an excellent commander, no matter how worried you are at this time, you still have to come out and praise everyone's combat effectiveness. Myron naturally understands this, so he only buries his worries in his psyche, and it is unknown whether this buried worry will take root and bear a full training plan.
In the next two days, Myron encountered two waves of orcs of about 100 people. After the soldiers gained experience in dealing with the enemy, it became easy to clean up such a small group of enemy troops. For an orc squad of this size, after three waves of long-range strikes, the orc squad will be reduced by at least seventy percent. The remaining thirty or forty orcs pounced on them, and there was not enough for the warriors to fight.
As a result, more than 100 new orc captives were added to the ranks.
Myron didn't intend to let the captives follow the group all the time, so every time he caught a captive, Myron would send the warriors back and then exchange some of the recruits for them.
The base has always maintained a battalion of troops, don't think that the base is very idle, they also have very important things to do.
Training is an indispensable content, and in Myron's absence, the battalion commander took up the burden of training. The physical training that was previously formulated was not missing at all. Everyone knows that if they train for a while, they may save their lives on the battlefield, so everyone is sparing no effort to train.
On the other hand, Myron's inner turmoil is growing day by day, and he really can't think of what will go wrong, so he has to try to prepare as much as possible. Myron told the orc slaves not to rush to build a mine, but to try to set a large area of traps around the camp and strengthen the camp at the same time. Once an orc army storms the camp, it will inevitably make them have no return.
Before you know it, the infantry regiment has left the camp for more than 50 kilometers, and in the mountainous area, this distance takes almost 2-3 days to complete. The reason Myron didn't return was because the reconnaissance battalion had found traces of the orc squad again, and it should have numbered more than 200 people.
Myron's strength has always been maintained at 700 people, and for a team of 200 people, it is very easy for Myron to eat them. So he decided to go back to the base after finishing this ticket.
This battle is obviously different from the previous ones, the previous orc squad, as long as they see them, they will rush over desperately to fight to the death. But this time, there were more of them, and they had obviously discovered Myron's whereabouts, but they refused to come to the decisive battle, as if they were luring the enemy deeper.
"Luring the enemy deeper?" Myron thought she must be overthinking.
The distance between the two groups was not far, that is, 2-3 kilometers, but the speed of the orcs was about the same as that of the infantry regiment, which is why the infantry regiment could never catch up with the enemy.
"That's not right. Myron said to Isaac.
"Indeed, they should have noticed us a long time ago, not only did they not come, but they have been there, huh...... Back off?. Isaac was also a little puzzled, "You're orcs." That's not how orcs look. You just have to be brainless and energetic. ”
"Warner, are you sure there are indeed no other orc armies around?" Myron's uneasiness grew stronger.
"The scope of the investigation has been expanded, and it is true that the rest of the orc army has not been found. Warner said.
"No, we can't chase it anymore, we're ready to go back. With an instinct for war, Myron made the decision to make a return trip.
However, just then, a scout hurried over, "Report, the orcs in front have turned around and are coming towards us, and we may meet in about 20 minutes." ”
"Eh, you've turned around?" ...... Myron's finish when another scout came running.
"Report, there are a large number of orc soldiers in the rear of our army, and the number should be around 1,000. The scout gasped.
"What?" Hearing this number, everyone was obviously stunned. An orc army of 1,000 people, not too much, much less, if you encounter the infantry regiment, even if the infantry regiment can win, there will be no more people left.
"Can't fight," Isaac said. After all, they are here to mine, and it is good to catch slaves and train part-time, but if the army is wiped out, it will be very funny.
"Where are they?" Myron thought it would be best to avoid them.
"It's about 6 kilometers away from us, which is almost the limit of our scouting. The Scout replied.
"Eh, is this an ambush, is we ambushed, is we ambushed, is we ambushed by the orcs?" Myron's proud strategic thinking was actually played with by the orcs, and he was now confused with a capital letter.
Due to the unusually smooth fighting of the previous battles, Myron unknowingly regarded the orcs as uncivilized beasts. Unexpectedly, even an orc with such a simple mind could make Myron capsize in the gutter.
The wave of orcs in front of them is too close, and if they are not defeated, let them follow behind, then their whereabouts will be completely exposed to the enemy's vision. But if this wave of orcs is forcibly eaten, then during this time, the orcs behind will also be about 3 kilometers close to the infantry regiment, and it will be extremely difficult to get rid of them at that time.
At the same time, in the orc village 30 kilometers away, a very handsome young orc paced back and forth in the big chief's tent, holding a map in his hand, no matter in terms of appearance, dress, conversation, etc., he did not look like the other orcs in the tent, but like an elf, a very strong elf. However, it was such a strange young man, but the other orcs, including the Great Chief, did not dare to breathe, and quietly waited for the young orcs to give command.
"So, let me repeat, their combat effectiveness is basically the same as that of our 1,000 soldiers, and they will definitely not dare to fight, so they can only retreat at full speed. And our 1st regiment was stuck on their way back to the camp, so that they had to make a detour, which bought time for our 2nd regiment. As long as the 2nd Regiment arrives at their large camp that has just been built for a few days and has little defense, and then quickly takes it, so that when they just return to the camp, we can easily win by attacking inside and outside. The young orc said to the other orcs.
"I just like this feeling, hope is right in front of me, I can just catch it in my hand, but I have lost all my efforts, hahahaha!" the young orc laughed presumptuously.
"Yes, yes. The Great Chief cooperated, "But why don't we just destroy them, and turn around in such a big circle to lure the enemy?"
"You know what a fart, if we want to catch such a team with a reconnaissance range of 5 kilometers in the wild, we need to send at least 4 armies of 1,000 people to surround it. Young Master Ben is here to arrange a predatory plan, and that is the key to the development of his own race. Compared to these bed bugs, Young Master Ben just eliminated them easily. Now is the critical moment of the plan, your village is small, and there is already a shortage of manpower, and it is already the limit to be able to draw out these 2000 troops. Besides, with Young Master Ben here, where do you need to rely on more people to solve the problem?" It seems that the young orc has a fight with Myron and the others in terms of narcissism.
"Yes, yes. And only you can lead us brave warriors to glory. "He is worthy of being a big chief, and he is a little knowledgeable, and he knows how to make sycophants.
"Hmph, when these warriors grow up, not to mention these elves, dwarves, even the human race will also be included in my control" The young orc's heart was a little surging.
It is undeniable that the orcs are far superior to other races in terms of strength and endurance, and due to their strong fertility and short growth cycle, they should be the most powerful race in the Fangtian Continent and occupy the most fertile land in the continent. However, this is not the case, and the generally low intelligence in the orc kingdom is the biggest bottleneck restricting their development and growth.
In addition, the inability to use magic and the short life cycle are also two major flaws of orcs.
The importance of magic is well known to all races, and even orcs who don't know magic at all know that no matter how strong their bodies are, they can't withstand the bombardment of a chain of lightning and the scorching flames. So, the orcs yearn for magic even more than food.
The life cycle of orcs is also a barrier that this race cannot cross, and 30 years of life makes many orc warriors have begun to age before they have time to fully tap their strength, which is also the main reason for the lack of high-end combat effectiveness of orcs.
So, even though an orc can become a qualified warrior at the age of 5-7, despite the infinite number of orcs, and despite the fact that orcs are not afraid of death, they do not make them a truly powerful race.
Perhaps the beast god heard the prayers of his people, or perhaps because he didn't know which god played a little joke on them, the child born to the orc king Thrall and an elven captive perfectly overcame these shortcomings that constrained the orcs. He was named William by the Orc King, and this half-breed orc was born like a protagonist with the aura of the protagonist, and he learned magic and martial arts as soon as he learned them, and he knew the art of war and strategy at a point. Now 13-year-old William is already a level 8 warrior, and the strength of a level 6 mage completely crushes a genius in the general sense.
It's just that for some reason, under William's handsome appearance, there is a bloodthirsty and brutal personality. Especially in the past two years, the slightest misconception of his subordinates to death has occurred more frequently.
"Okay, Young Master Ben has been in your poor country for a few days, and it's time to go back to Wangcheng and fight with my dear brothers. You all work hard for Young Master Ben, and when this battle is over, you will have your benefits. When William saw that things were almost done, he planned to go back.
"Rest assured, our Gus tribe will always follow in your footsteps. The Great Chief hurriedly made a gesture.
William nodded in satisfaction, and then mounted the Wolf and left the Gus tribe with his guards.
"We marched southwest for three hours, trying to bypass the pursuers behind, and as long as we could return to the camp, we were basically safe. Myron didn't think that these orcs could catch him in the wild, let alone make some traps along the way.
