"Wolf riding?" Longbottom's face sank, and he immediately asked, "Where? Is there a lot? Can you take his vote?"

The pathfinder shook his head resolutely: "No way! Just in front of this forest, there are at least three or four thousand, I am worried that the distance is too close, I dare not stay longer, you know, those giant wolves have too smart noses, we dare not approach." But it's at least three thousand, not a little more!"

Although the voices of the two of them were low, many people around heard it, and everyone suddenly changed!

Thousands of wolves to ride?!

These people have been on the front line for a long time, and who doesn't know that the wolf cavalry of the orcs is powerful? These wolf cavalry are as powerful as the wind, galloping and jumping, and fighting fiercely and cunningly.

What's more, there are thousands of opponents, and there are less than 300 people on their own side......

In terms of combat effectiveness, one's own side is an absolute disadvantage. And...... Looking at the surrounding terrain, there is only this small forest, and most of the rest of the place is a flat wilderness, on this flat terrain, with three hundred people on his side, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to deal with thousands of wolf riders.

Longbottom trusts this pathfinder mercenary very much, these pathfinder mercenaries are the most experienced old mercenaries selected from the wolf's tooth army, and they are trustworthy in terms of skills and brains.

"What the hell. Longbottom grabbed his hair in annoyance and scolded in a low voice, "I investigated before. There are no large-scale orc settlements in this vicinity, and it is far from the front line, how can there be so many wolf cavalry here?!"

"Boss, could it be that they came to chase us?" said one of his subordinates, whose face turned a little pale.

"Probably not. Longbottom's eyes flashed: "If it's chasing us." There is no need to send so much, a thousand is enough. And...... The wolf cavalry is the jīng rui of the orcs, and they will not be sent out to chase us miscellaneous bandits - if they were to chase us, with the mobility of the wolf cavalry, they would have caught up with us a long time ago. ”

After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "It can only be said that we are unlucky." Maybe these wolf cavalry were passing by here and were bumped into by us. ”

Everyone looked at Longbottom in disdain, even idiots knew it at the moment. With his own hundreds of people, the thousands of wolf cavalry who encountered the enemy in the field, once they are discovered by the enemy, I am afraid that these hundreds of people will not even have the qualifications to fill in the gaps between the other party's teeth.

"Let's get out of here at once!" Longbottom ordered.

According to the pathfinders, the wolf cavalry was on the other side of the woods, less than two kilometers away. The wolf cavalry were also resting by the woods. There is only one forest cut between the two sides, although the distance of two kilometers is not far away, but it is not close......

However, Longbottom knew very well that if he could lead the most sharp wolf cavalry among the orcs, and it was still a few thousand wolf cavalry, then the leader of the team must be smarter than ordinary orcs. In the large army rested beside the woods. Even idiots know that they will send out sentries to patrol the surrounding area.

The other party will definitely do the same! Once the other party's sentry wolf cavalry patrolled all the way along the forest and found his own people...... Then it's troublesome!

Run!!

At this moment, no one dared to hesitate, everyone quickly sorted out their bags, and even when they ran to the ground, Longbottom did not let people hide and bury the traces left by these people.

Like what. The pit that has been dug and prepared for the fire is ready. and the footprints of the ground, etc......

He knew very well that sooner or later the other party would send wolf cavalry to search for it. And once the search is here. Even if he hides these traces before leaving, the wolf rider has one of the most powerful skills, which is the sense of smell of the giant wolf! These hateful creatures have a more sensitive sense of smell than a dog! As long as a wolf rides here, even if the traces are hidden cleanly, the other party can smell that there were many humans here from the smell in the air!

What's more, how many days have these people been running, crawling and crawling, and they haven't taken a shower for a few days, who doesn't have a stench all over their bodies? And they have blood stains on their bodies......

Now the only option is to run!

At the same time, pray for God's blessing, the other party finds out later, so that these people can buy more time to escape!

A group of men quickly broke away from the woods and fled south in the opposite direction of the wolf cavalry, according to the Longbottom plan, the map showed that there was a river to the south, and if they could cross that river, they might be able to get rid of the danger of the wolf cavalry.

However, it was probably Longbottom, the fat man, who was full of swear words such as "thief God" in his mouth and mouth, and he had long been abandoned by God, so his prayer was not received by God.

A group of people who didn't have horses in the first place (they were parachuted behind enemy lines in hot air balloons, where did the horses come from?), and they galloped all the way in the field, but unfortunately they only ran for less than two or three thousand meters, and the mercenaries at the end of the queue let out a frightened cry: "There are pursuers behind!!"

Sure enough, above the horizon, a cloud of dust was raised in the distance, Longbottom picked up the telescope and looked twice, only to see that in the distance, above the wilderness, a team of wolf cavalry had rushed over quickly, the giant wolf ran and jumped, and the wolf knight on the back of the wolf was full of murderous energy, holding a bright long knife in his hand!

It's been discovered!

Longbottom's scalp was numb!

He quickly estimated the speed of the two sides, although it seems that the other party is still quite far away from him, but his own group, without horses, relying on two legs on the plain, can not outrun the four-legged giant wolf at all. If you run like this, I'm afraid you'll be caught up before you reach that river!

Without hesitation, Longbottom immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Detachment!!"

Everyone heard his order, and everyone understood that the leader was going to continue to divide the troops and continue to disperse the three hundred people, so that perhaps the opponent's pursuers would be confused, and they would probably only chase one way, so that the people of the other teams would have a chance to survive.

But......

"Chief, there are few of us. In case the other party divides forces to chase after him...... one of the mercenaries immediately shouted, his face absolutely unfolded: "It's better for me to take a team of people and stay here to break the rear!"

"After breaking *** what!" Longbottom scolded: "There are thousands of other parties! It will be swallowed in the blink of an eye! There will be no time to buy it! Don't die in vain! Divide the troops!"

Longbottom's division of troops was very skillful, and these mercenaries, whom he had trained for a long time, were quickly distributed according to orders.

According to Longbottom's strategy of dividing the army, it is called: layer by layer decomposition.

That is to say, when the wolf cavalry behind him chased within sight, the wolf cavalry would see that this group of about 300 human beings suddenly divided into a small team. fled in the other direction, and the team that separated seemed to have only a few dozen or even fewer people.

At this time, the wolf knight who is in charge of the pursuit, if he is not the kind of delicate guy, will most likely make a decision: regardless of the small one, just bite the earth!!

And so it goes. Detachment squads. There are many more chances of survival.

The number of troops must not be too much!

That's Longbottom's strategy.

Along the way, running for about a few hundred meters, the wolf cavalry behind him had already caught up with the sight, and looking at the human force in front of him, he had already divided into three groups three times, and the number of people each time was only a few dozen.

Sure enough, the leader of the wolf cavalry who led the team laughed: "They are scared! Those human beings have already deserted! Ignore those deserters, just chase the large army!"

It was time for the fifth division of troops. Longbottom's brigade has less than a hundred people left. The 200 people who were separated from the place managed to form a squad and fled.

However, Longbottom's own team was firmly targeted by the wolf cavalry behind him. And. The other party is already very close!

So close that you can even hear the sound of wolf hooves galloping on the other side. And the howls of those wolf cavalry calls!

"Brothers, run! There's a river ahead!!"

Longbottom was already panting from running, but he still mustered up the strength to roar loudly. Strive to boost morale.

Running all the way, finally some mercenaries couldn't hold on and fell behind, and someone accidentally fell to the ground, and he was no longer able to get up, and his whole body collapsed.

Some people run slower and slower...... Finally caught up by the wolf cavalry, and after those wolf cavalry caught up with the humans, they raised their long knives and cut off their heads with a bang!

River!

The river is ahead!!

Longbottom had already seen the river! right ahead! 500 meters, 400 meters...... 300 meters......

The shouting of the wolf cavalry behind him seemed to be close to his ears, and there were even mercenaries who had fallen behind, who were caught up by the other party and let out a scream before he died!

When the group finally ran to the river, Longbottom immediately roared, "Jump into the river!!"

At this moment, the vanguard of the wolf cavalry has already chased to the end of the queue of these people, and the wolf cavalry at the front has already brandished a long knife and rushed into the crowd!

Plop, plop, plop!!

The sound of diving one by one, human beings were driven and jumped into the river one after another, as if dumplings.

It was autumn, just after the rainy season of summer, but fortunately it did not dry up in winter, and the river was still very deep and wide

Most of Longbottom and his party jumped into the river, and only the last twenty or so were chased by the wolf cavalry! The human warriors who were caught up were desperately brandishing their weapons and making a dying struggle, and some of them had red eyes and rushed madly at the wolf riders beside them, and some of them roared frantically: "Boss! Remember to send Lao Tzu's bounty home!!"

The more than twenty human mercenaries who fell at the end did not have time to jump into the river, fell into the queue of wolf cavalry who were caught up, and in less than a moment, they were all strangled!

Longbottom's heart was bleeding, but he bit his lip and swam desperately towards the opposite bank with the rest of his men in the river.

Finally, for Longbottom and the others, fortunately, the wolf cavalry did not go down the river to chase after them.

Because, in order to maintain mobility behind enemy lines, all of the mercenaries such as Longbottom did not wear metal armor, and most of them only wore leather armor.

However, these wolf cavalry, as the jīng rui among the orcs, the wolf cavalry are all wearing strong iron armor made by dwarven craftsmen - although these armors are very strong, but they are also very heavy, so although the wolf clan is not afraid of water - it can even be said that most of the wolf clan's water xìng is not bad.

However, because of this heavy armor, all the wolf cavalry discouraged the intention of swimming and pursuing.

And...... Looking at the number of humans who jump into the river to swim, it seems that there are not many.

The leader of the wolf cavalry seemed to be reluctantly satisfied with this result - in this weather, there was no need to let his warriors take off their armor and swim in the icy river water in order to hunt down a few dozen humans.

The wolf cavalry simply divided into two groups and searched the banks of the river to see if it was possible to go around the end of the river to continue the pursuit, or if there was any shallow place to cross the river.

On the other side, after Longbottom and dozens of others finally came ashore, everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed. Longbottom threw his wet hair and glared at the other side with hatred. The wolf cavalry howled and roared on the other side, making threatening sounds, and some of the wolf cavalry let out a shrill laugh - probably laughing at the embarrassment of their own group.

Longbottom gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but finally took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Everyone, don't rest, evacuate here immediately! We don't have time to rest! If you want to live, you should fight and leave!" But then, when the number of people was counted, a message made Longbottom completely stunned!

Of his own 300 people, he divided his troops five times on the road, ran away 200, fell behind more than 20 people, and the rest was less than 80. And the most important thing is that among these eighty people, there is one less important person, and this person, Longbottom remembers very clearly, when he jumped into the river just now, he was not far from his side, and jumped into the river with him!!

Muse!

"Where's the Muse?!Damn!!Why is the Muse gone?!"

The fat man pulled his hair frantically.
