Chapter 629 [Scattered in a Hurry]

"First team, go around to the right side and ignition. The second team, clamoring around and creating chaos. The third team is responsible for the reception. I'll take someone to light the fire on the left side!"

In the night, Longbottom and a group of his subordinates shrank in a grass nest behind a hillside, randomly drew a topographic map on the land, and after giving the order, he raised his feet to wipe off the traces of the ground, and glanced at several subordinates next to him with blazing eyes: "Do you understand?"

"Understood, chief," a bearded mercenary leader grinned, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "This is not the first time this has been done. ”

On the far side of the hill is a gathering point of orcs. It was built on the basis of an abandoned human village and town, and there is also a field of farmland around it. It was late autumn, and the grain in the fields had been harvested, and the orcs had built piles of barn-like things, and a large amount of harvested grain was piled up there.

From the point of view of the perimeter, the surrounding defenses were not very tight, probably because this was the rear of the sinners, far from the battle line, so the sinners did not invest in a tight defense.

After Dorì's stealth, Longbottom led the group around the battle line and went all the way west and north, and at this time had penetrated deep behind enemy lines in the area occupied by the criminals.

Although if it is really investigated, Longbottom and others, who belong to the Central Theater of Operations, are actually worthy of the name of "fishing across the line", because here is already the territory of the Western Theater.

"Okay! Then him! It's been so many days. The brothers didn't catch anything, so they can't just go back empty-handed!" Longbottom's smile looked a little hideous under the night.

Then he glanced at the muse beside him: "You follow me." ”

The muse was silent and nodded. Just stuck a dagger into the boots.

In the middle of the night, the distant orc colony fell silent. There weren't many orc warriors here, most of them were old and weak women and children among the orcs, and for a village of this size, there were only a few hundred orc warriors in the town at most.

But even so, Longbottom didn't dare to be careless, because he had dealt too much with the orcs, and he already understood. Even those underage guys among the orcs are comparable to a human adult warrior in terms of physical strength and combat effectiveness, and even those old and weak or female orcs, if organized, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

It lurked for a while, until midnight. before launching a sneak attack.

Around the person in charge of feints and agitation. The first wave of the offensive was launched, and in the woods and grass around the gathering place, human warriors deliberately made movements, shouts of killing, the sound of horns, and some experienced mercenaries, beating with stones, imitating the sound of horses' hooves galloping.

Soon. These movements alarmed the orcs in the settlement, and I saw a large number of orcs rushing out of it, and in the dark night, countless torches were dotted and swarmed out. Although there are only a small number of warriors wearing armor. Most of the other orcs were old and weak with sharpened sticks, but in terms of numbers. But I am afraid that there are no less than a thousand.

The orcs were attracted by the humans and lunged out of town, while the humans who were in charge of the noise slyly retreated, drawing the orcs as far away as possible.

Then, the two teams of people responsible for setting the fire took the opportunity to approach the settlement from both sides and ran as fast as possible to the edge of the barn.

Although there are a few orcs guarding next to the barn, but in front of these guys who are used to being mercenaries - these guys hunt monsters all year round, this kind of thing of sneaking up with cold arrows in the dark is what they are best at, several orcs were quickly killed by bows and arrows, most of them did not make a sound, and even if the orcs were not killed by bows and arrows, they were quickly pounced by experienced mercenaries who touched in the dark, and a few people pounced, even if the orcs were strong, they cut their throats in a daze.

After clearing the guards, in the darkness, the mercenaries signaled to each other that everything was going well, and these guys used bird calls as a signal to communicate with each other.

"Quick! the brothers in charge of attracting their attention won't be able to hold it long!" Longbottom took the lead, the first to pick up the leather bag he was carrying, and sprinkled the liquid on top of the barn. One by one, the mercenaries did the same at once—instead of wine and water, these skins were filled with oil!

These guys are very experienced and sprinkle the oil all over the place. Then the team quickly broke away from the distance, and the last person who broke off was responsible for ignition......

In the distance, the orcs, who had been attracted by the movement of the humans, suddenly found in horror that a raging fire appeared behind them, in the direction of the barn! In the dark night, the movement of the flames was exceptionally clear and bright! Almost half of the sky was illuminated as if it were day!

"Fire!!Fire!!

The orcs began to cry out in panic. More orcs are so angry that they are terrified!

Because there, it's their food! It's their most precious food!!

I finally completed the return, and on the first piece of land that I took from the hands of humans, after a year of hard work, the grain was harvested!!

I, the old and weak, the women and children, and the soldiers who are fighting against mankind on the front line! Everyone has to rely on this food to feed! And it is already late autumn, how many mouths rely on this food to survive the winter!!

If these grains are burned......

The orcs could no longer chase the humans in the darkness, and shouted one after another, turned around, and ran back to the granary.

Under the action of the fire oil, once the flame boiled, the momentum was extremely fierce, and the fire was raging, burning the hearts of the orcs to pieces! At the same time, the dark night illuminated by the firelight also exposed the traces of Longbottom and the others who were about to flee after setting the fire!

"Humans!!Burn our food!!Humans!!"

The orcs saw Longbottom and the others fleeing in the distance, these angry orcs. Soon several teams rushed to catch up.

The warriors in armor all rushed forward. Even if it is far away, they have no intention of giving up! The actions of the human beings have angered these orcs, and they will definitely not give up until they kill all these damn humans!

Beside the fire, the orcs began to try to extinguish the fire, but the fire was fueled, such a fire in the dry autumn. As the wind spread, the orcs almost fought for their lives, but they couldn't stop the fire.

Many of the old and weak orcs threw themselves on the ground, crying and howling bitterly, beating their chests and feet, and crying out in the distance.

"Don't be in a daze! they're catching up!" Longbottom kicked the muse hard. At the time of the sneak attack just now. The Muse did a good job, slitting the neck of a guard orc with her own hands, using the dagger she had stuck in her boot.

But when she was retreating, she heard a cry in the distance behind her, but the muse seemed to be a little stunned, and Longbottom scolded her, which woke her up.

Behind him, those orc warriors raised their long knives and chased after them with murderous faces!

"Let's go!"

Longbottom tugged at the muse. Then there was a whistle.

Soon, those orc warriors who were chasing received a severe blow!

A group of human warriors who had been ambushed in advance and were responsible for answering the attack, hid in the woods and grass next to the retreat route, and launched a sneak attack on the pursuing orcs with bows and arrows.

In the dark. These mercenaries who are good at hunting monsters. It just happened to use what they do best: sāo disturbance, ambush......

After the first round of arrow rain. The pursuing orcs fell a dozen or so, and soon fell into confusion, because in the darkness, they couldn't tell how many enemies there were and which direction!

After a few rounds of arrow rain, although the orc's damage was not too serious, it was completely stunned.

At this time, the main team of Longbottom and others had already run farther and farther. And these soldiers who were responsible for receiving the broken ground also quickly divided into countless squads after they dispersed in a hurry, and fled in all directions.

Obviously, the orcs here lack tactical literacy, and this chaos in the dark makes them a little overwhelmed. In the darkness of the night, they did not dare to continue the chase - although they were angry that they were burned food, but at night, they had to be careful, God knows how many troops of the human race had come to sneak attack......

"Unfortunately, they don't chase after it. ”

After running away, Longbottom and the others ran into a wood, and he jumped up a large tree with agility that was extremely inconsistent with his size, took out his binoculars and looked behind him carefully for a while, and let out such a sigh.

"It's a pity, if they continue to chase, they can set up an ambush, maybe they can swallow this small group of orcs!"

The mercenaries around him all sighed regretfully, many of them were already rubbing their hands, and some had already begun to wipe their blades. Hearing that there was no battle to fight, many people showed depressed expressions.

"Alright, then let's retreat. Longbottom waved his hand and glanced at Tian Sè: "This ticket is well done tonight." But it's almost dawn, and we're in their territory now, and if our whereabouts are exposed, we'll be in trouble. ”

As he spoke, he coughed: "The old rule, everyone retreats in four teams according to the original plan, pay attention to hiding their whereabouts, and gather at the predetermined place...... I'll start by saying that when the time comes, if anyone is late, you can't wait for him! If anyone is left behind, find a way to crawl home!"

The mercenaries smiled, but everyone's faces were serious.

Everyone understood that Longbottom was not telling a joke! The danger of doing such a thing behind enemy lines was self-evident. Disperse and retreat, and after arriving at the predetermined place, if anyone is left behind, then it is impossible for everyone to risk the life and death of everyone in the large army!

Even if Longbottom himself is late and fails to feel the meeting place at the specified time, he will still be abandoned! This is the rule that Longbottom himself has set!

The large army scattered in a hurry was exactly the tactic that Longbottom set when he formed this wolf-tooth army: rush up and scatter.

The Muses followed Longbottom's group, less than three hundred men, all the way to the southwest, according to the original plan, they were to walk for two days, and then turn around and go all the way south, this route was designed so that the enemy would not be discovered - even if it was discovered, it would be possible to get rid of the possibility of being surrounded as much as possible.

The four teams evacuated in different directions, and the group of Muses Longbottom began with day and night for the first two days. When you are in a hurry, you should try to stay away from the main road, go up the mountain when you encounter the mountain, go through the forest when you encounter the forest, and choose those remote places to walk.

In the evening, when a group of men had come to a grove, Longbottom looked at the surrounding terrain and calculated the time: "Soon! I remember on the map, there is a river in front of us, and we will reach it tomorrow, and then we will turn back and go southeast, and in two days we will be able to meet our brothers." ”

The group of mercenaries laughed, and everyone had a look of victory on their faces.

In the past two days, they have also attacked the village of two orcs on the way, killing about sixty orcs, and setting up an ambush to annihilate a patrol of orc soldiers.

According to the reward set by Longbottom when he founded the army, if he can go back alive this time, then everyone can get a large reward - because the Wolf Tooth Army is not a regular army of the Empire, in order to stimulate these people's combat enthusiasm, Longbottom set a set of standards for the reward for killing the enemy according to the model of mercenaries, for example, killing an orc, how many gold coins to reward, killing an orc warrior, how many gold coins to reward, and so on......

Anyway, he has the support of Du Wei, a rich big boss, behind him, and such a rich bounty is absolutely not available in other armies in the empire.

The group was about to cross this forest, and suddenly, they saw a few mercenaries who were exploring the way in front of them running back quickly, and several of them were nervous and serious.

These men ran back from the depths of the woods, rushed in front of Longbottom, and immediately lowered their voices and said quickly: "Can't go forward!"

"What's wrong?"

"Wolves ride! a lot of wolves!!" a pathfinder mercenary ran out of breath, his face a little pale.
