Chapter 45
Those who are whipped are fast horses, and those who are looking for things are all busy people. Captain Cao's idea is grandiose, but correspondingly, his work will be very varied and complex. In time, Captain Cao even became the busiest person in the Exiled Domain.
The second brother of the hyena has such a good shape, and the head of the Cao regiment has to take a little prudent approach. The only thing that is a little troublesome is that these second brothers are said to be very sensitive to danger, and when the orcs are in trouble, they will take the initiative to come to the snow to send frost. But if they found that the orcs not only did not suffer, but also hugged a powerful thigh, they would definitely smear oil on the soles of their feet, which was also an instinct they had cultivated for a long time.
According to Karl, the leader of this second brother tribe is called Cassel, and he is very ugly, and even has the potential to grow as the first ugly brother in the Exiled Realm. However, his cunning and his skill in seeing the wind and steering the rudder are inversely proportional to his appearance. Their lair is also on a high slope, but it is much stronger than the territory of the orcs, because there is only a straight uphill and straight downhill. The rest of the place was as smooth as the knife had been cut, and it was very difficult for the raiders to climb with their bare hands. Coupled with the fact that those second brothers have a keen sense of danger, it is not realistic for the people of the raiding group to want to take their lair like a sneak attack on the orcs.
In other words, if Commander Cao wants to contain them, the only way is to wipe them out when their main force is pouring out, and then circle them with absolute superiority to force them to submit. Once they're out of the fight, they're going to shrink back. It's not so easy to hit their minds. According to Karl's information, the tribe of Kassel has more food in stock than any other bandit tribe in the vicinity. Even if they besiege and not attack, they will have to wait a long time until they are exhausted.
As everyone knows, Captain Cao is not a person who likes to spend a lot of time doing useless work, and he has always advocated efficiency. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that these second brothers are attacking the half-orc tribe, it is almost the only plan.
"They are well equipped. Carl also specially added, perhaps once again enjoying the cigar issued by Cao Tuan. Let his head shine a lot, and seize the opportunity to be courteous.
"Well equipped, can there be a plundering group?" Commander Cao and the six scattered people suddenly burst into wild laughter. Even Old Man Ao and the head of the leather sect couldn't help laughing. No one would think that there was a gang of bandits in the vicinity that could compete with the raiders, or even be on par with the bandits.
Karl thought about it for a moment, and honestly admitted that it was indeed not as well equipped as the raiding regiment. This is good, only for his half-orc tribe. A lot of things. If the object of comparison is different, the conclusion will be different. However, Carl still emphasized that many of those second brothers used metal weapons. Even if it looks like a bronze weapon, at the edge of this exiled realm, it is a symbol of great strength to be able to use such a weapon.
In the past, the orc tribe during the Selby period had some grudges with the tribe of Kassel, and there was even a lot of bloodshed between the two sides because of the overlapping goals of the robbery, and the losses were the orcs every time. The hyena tribe is only half as large as the orc tribe. Including the elderly, the weak, women and children, there were only about a hundred adult warriors. But they have a pack of fierce spotted hyenas, which also make the orcs suffer enough.
on this. Iverson smiled reservedly, and several of the raider soldiers also seemed to suddenly feel that it was time to walk their dogs, and a group of pit dogs the size of calves were suddenly released, scurrying around in the mud snail secluded field. These pit dogs are already familiar with people, and they are very affectionate to the rabbits, but Karl and a few orcs grin. Frightened, they even hid beside Commander Cao.
"How about the fierce dog troops of the head of this regiment?" The meaning of reprimanding Fang Xuan.
"When the spotted hyenas saw them, they had to be dogs with their tails between their legs. Carl said honestly, and he was also afraid for a while. It's not that Carl is a sycophant, these bull-sized bitters are no less than those spotted hyenas from any angle.
To distinguish the strength and weakness of a carnivore, the simplest point is to look at body size and weight, which is a symbol of strength. Secondly, look at the bite force, which is a symbol of lethality. Finally, look at their skins, which is a symbol of their vitality. The spotted hyena is indeed one of the iconic beasts of the Exiled Realm, they are fierce, but they are not the strongest individually, and they mainly rely on numbers to win in clusters. According to Iverson, these bitters of the raiding group have an amazing bite force, can also chew bones as meat, and have extremely dense musculoskeletal density, as strong as cattle, which can be said to be the overlord of dogs.
Carl had no doubt about its authenticity, he had just seen Barkley throw a few stick bones out to treat the dogs, and after a loud clatter, Carl didn't even notice the bones. Carl was ashamed of the dogs' muscles, and he could even see the powerful rhythms of the rock-like muscles as they ran. There are also hundreds of pit dogs, and Carl can even imagine them biting out a pack of spotted hyenas and escaping.
Fortunately, Karl didn't bring the dogs to trouble them two days ago. These fierce dogs are now staring at the throat of the orcs, and at a glance they know that they have a killer instinct, as long as they are allowed to cause trouble, it is a life-threatening business.
With such restrictions, Head Cao immediately began to plan intensively. Although it seems complicated, it is actually not difficult for Captain Cao to arrange a suitable plan, mainly because the second hyena brother has his own desires. As long as they have desires, then they can prescribe the right medicine.
Their covetousness for the orc tribe in the past two days, from Carl's long-term experience analysis, is a sign that they are going to do it. The Kassel tribe has had similar operations before, or bandits in this area will more or less monitor each other. As long as there is an opportunity, no one will be soft.
The reason why the second hyena brothers didn't do it immediately was that they were calculating how much of the combat power of the orc tribe still had left. The second is to find an opportunity for them to go with the flow. And in order to complete the attack on the half-orc tribe, the second hyena brothers are bound to fight away from home, not the home field they are familiar with, these are the advantages that Captain Cao has in his hands. After a few moments of questioning Carl and Old Man O, these things were almost on the page.
"Looks like you've already figured out what to do?" Old Man Ao smiled slightly, looking at Captain Cao who looked up from the map. The expression of the head of Cao's eyebrows and smiles has already explained a qiē.
The head of the leather sect on the side shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. In his opinion, in this time, he had already thought of a lot of tactical plans that could defeat these second hyena brothers well. The strategic goal of defeating these second hyena brothers with absolute superiority is not complicated. But to besiege and not kill one of them as Commander Cao said, and surrender the soldiers without a fight, this leather sect leader also thinks it is a bit difficult. No matter what battlefield it is, it can be said that the most difficult strategic goal to achieve without a fight is to surrender without a fight. It's not so simple to accomplish nature.
In the process of fighting, if the other side fails to lose confidence, then it is an unrealistic dream to fight bloodlessly. In other words, this strategic goal can only be achieved by destroying the opponent's psychological defense. It's not easy to get to this point. Especially when the other party is one of those lawless bandits, the head of the Pi sect even kindly reminded Captain Cao that the second brother of the hyena is a little different from other bandits.
Because the reputation of hyena bandits is so stinky, even the natives of the exiled realm will beat them severely if they have the opportunity. will spare no effort. For example, some of the other bandits, some indigenous people will have some pity, but the second hyena brother does not have such treatment. One is because there are too many of them. Second, it's also because most of these guys don't have any gratitude, even if you let them go, they will still toss you when they get relieved.
The Realm of Exile knows this, so when the hyena bandits are unlucky, no one will show mercy. If many of the other bandits are forced to commit crimes, then hyena bandits can be counted as natural bandits. These guys never seem to understand what it means to be self-reliant. The birth of every hyena man can be seen as a new bandit in the Exiled Realm. If it weren't for the hyena bandits, who often commit crimes, lack some planning, and die quite a few times a year. This realm of exile has long been their world.
The ones who attack the human caravan group the most are the hyena bandits, and the armed guards of the caravan group hired by the human caravan group with high salaries are definitely the hyena bandits who kill the most every year.
The meaning of the head of the Pi sect is also to ask the head of the regiment to understand this, and the ideological policy he advocates is equivalent to the slightly extreme policy of "we must learn from Wu Song to beat the tiger, and do not learn from the farmer to pity the snake". He believes that even if Commander Cao wants to take these hyena people, he must make an example of them and kill more than half of them before he makes a move. Judging from the face of this thing, it seems that he is more like the kind of butcher covered in blood that Old Man Ao doesn't like.
And Captain Cao, who kept saying that he had no obligation to turn the bandits into good people, only had the obligation to turn the bandits into dead people, was like an incarnation of a truly compassionate and compassionate person. The head of the leather sect also knew that this was because Captain Cao was a guy who valued the life of the Orcs very much, as if every Orc was like his own siblings. Even if these second hyena brothers are almost not worthy of appeasement in the eyes of ordinary people, Captain Cao also has an unusual kind of protection and love for them.
"Of course, there is no problem with the head of this regiment. Captain Cao spat out a puff of smoke and smiled confidently.
Captain Cao's idea is very simple, since those second hyena brothers have begun to pay close attention, then they only need to find a motive that can drive them to be uncontrollable, and they can be urged to do it in disguise.
And what the raiding group has to do is to give them this temptation, and then ambush them in a suitable place, so that they can scare their dogs with the tactics of the sea of people that they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts, and that's it. (To be continued)
