647 Transfer of Command
Chu Xiangqian saw that no one objected, so he continued, "I will leave 5 days' supplies here, and the 200 goat knights and 400 elf riders left behind will be divided into 4 teams.
The 1st and 2nd teams set off to clear the orc rout, and the 3rd and 4th teams were stationed, which was regarded as the backup of the team entering the mountain, repairing by the way, and rotating with each other the next day. ”
The dwarves and elves nodded after thinking about it, knowing that there was nothing wrong with Chu Xiangqian's arrangement.
Moreover, the task of clearing the rout is actually quite important, lest the orc rout begin to converge after the initial chaos and pose a threat again.
Chu Xiangqian directly ordered the fifth team of elf centurions to go into the mountain with him, and as for the dwarves, let the five centurions draw lots to decide who stayed.
The 4 elven centurions opened their mouths, but they thought that the fifth team of centurions was leading people back to the Boulder Pass to deliver the message, if they stayed, then this team of elves would have no commander.
I could only shake my head helplessly and not speak.
And the dwarves draw lots easily, and those who win the lottery are only scolded and scolded for their poor luck.
Half an hour later, the 300 dwarves ate some dried meat casually, and spent more time taking care of their big goats.
Then he carried three 2-pound jerky, 10 pounds of hay and a few fruits, and rode on a big goat to chase wolf cavalry.
Chu Xiangqian stayed in the temporary camp for more than an hour, watched 100 goat knights and 200 elf riders, and left quickly after repairing, and went to find the orc rout on the left and right.
Moreover, Chu Xiangqian gave a clear order before the team set off, and there was no need for prisoners for this clearing mission.
Among the dwarves and elves, only a very few people had objections to this order, but in the face of Chu Qianqian's gaze, they could only obey honestly.
Moreover, Chu Xiangqian's prestige in the hearts of the dwarves and elven cavalry at this time is enough to be comparable to the heroes in the past history of the two clans.
So basically no one will have objections to his order, and even if there is, then they can only hold it for now, and wait until Chu Xiangqian really makes a mistake before he stands up to oppose it.
Waiting for the dwarves and elven riders of the first and second teams to leave, Chu looked forward at the few centurions who stayed behind and said, "I remember that I was in the Alpine Dwarven Tavern and heard that the orcs had a giant burrowing worm.
Your mission is not only to support the team entering the mountain, but to prevent the wolf cavalry from suddenly jumping out of the encirclement and escaping down the mountain again.
Send multiple scouts to patrol along the Boulder Mountains. Do you understand? ”
A few centurions nodded hurriedly.
Although the giant burrower is not as powerful as imagined, as long as the orcs are given enough time, it is indeed possible to fight to open up a tunnel regardless of the life and death of the burrowing worm.
But dwarves, elves, and orcs have been at war for thousands of years, and they already know each other well.
An elven centurion said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much.
All you need to do is ask for help from the Boulder Pass and send one or two magicians over to keep an eye on it, and you can find out if there is a vibration of the earth-drilling worm devouring the sand and gravel within a radius of a hundred miles.
Once discovered, use the magic that has been specially researched to deal with the Driller to crush the Driller to death in the tunnel. ”
Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then thought that if the elves and dwarves didn't have the means to deal with the drillers, then in the past countless years, the orcs would have used the drillers to attack the towns of the dwarves and elves.
Even a majestic pass like the Boulder Pass is not necessary to be built.
After Chu Xiangqian made sure that nothing was missed, he took 1 hundred elf knights to ride the red rabbit and the big elk into the mountain.
After walking for half an hour, they reached the foot of a mountain, and then they all dismounted.
But Chu Xiangqian didn't let the elves leave the big elk behind this time, but took all a hundred elk into the novice village.
The elves were more and more respectful to him now, and Chu Xiangqian did this, just thinking that if he wiped out the wolf cavalry, he might be able to take 3 hundred goat knights and 1 hundred elves to cross the mountain road and enter the north of the Boulder Pass.
Guerrilla warfare in the orc hinterland.
Just staring at the orc's grain passage and burning a batch of grain and grass, the orcs can only retreat.
And to put it mildly, Chu Xiangqian actually didn't want the orcs to lose too much.
Once peaceful for decades, it is not a good thing for him.
If there is a conflict between the dwarves and the elves, it will be even more disadvantageous.
It is better to have a foreign enemy to suppress the dwarves and elves to rein their temper.
As for the question of revealing that he has a space treasure like an artifact, anyway, when he took out 3,000 rifles and 100,000 bullets, the dwarves could basically guess it.
Coupled with the 300 tons of grain and grass taken out at Jushi Pass this time, some secrets are no longer secrets.
The hundred-man team only chased for one hour, and saw three hundred goat riders marching on the mountain road in the middle of a mountain peak opposite.
And through the sight of the, Chu Xiangqian knew very well in his heart that his side was three hours away from the wolf cavalry.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that the wolf cavalry always needed to rest and eat. And the biggest drawback of the wolf is that this thing eats meat.
This is also the fundamental reason why the orcs have not been able to form a large-scale wolf cavalry.
Chu Xiangqian is most worried about the side of the Boulder Pass, the speed of dispatching manpower is slow, or the dwarf lord does not agree to fight a blocking battle.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian could only order the elves to speed up and catch up with the goat cavalry as soon as possible.
It's just that it's only two or three hundred meters away, but if you want to reach the opposite peak and join the goat cavalry, you have to walk for more than an hour.
But after walking for a few minutes, an elf suddenly reminded him, and when Chu looked up, he saw a griffin flying down from the sky and landing in a cliff clearing not far from the team.
Chu Xiangqian hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that it was actually Vic, the leader of the mountain dwarf lord's guard, Vic-Skull Crusher.
Vic was more than ten meters away, and he saluted Chu forward, and it seemed that the five lords on the other side of the Boulder Pass were very satisfied with their defeat of the 3,000 orcs.
Then he saw Vic and said excitedly, "Stark, the five Great Lords have decided to follow your wishes.
Ten griffons were dispatched with 10 shield warriors to block a peak on the north side of the trail.
Aircraft will then be followed by more riflemen and hoplites.
As for me, I'll act as a liaison officer between you and Boulder Pass, as well as the Peak Team. ”
Chu Xiangqian's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Calculating the time, before dark, it should be possible to transport at least two more batches, thirty or fifty dwarves.
That way, it should be fine to drag it until dawn.
Instead of catching up now, you should go slower and give the griffons and biplanes more time to transport the dwarves.
And he didn't have to continue to follow the pursuing team, but rode a griffin and went directly to the blocking position.
After Chu Xiangqian thought about it, he said to Vic, "I now order you to take over the command of the pursuit team, 300 goat cavalry and 100 elves.
The task is very simple, while pursuing the wolf cavalry, you must send more elves to act as scouts to avoid being attacked by them. ”
