Law of the Devil Chapter 629: [Catch up and go]
Chapter 629 [Catch up and go]
"The first team fires around to the right. The second team drums around and creates chaos. The third team is responsible for the response. I personally lead someone to fire on the left!"
In the night, Longbaton and a group of men shrank in a grassy nest behind a hillside, and randomly drew a topographic map on the land. After the command was completed, he raised his feet and wiped the traces of the ground away. , Glanced at the subordinates next to him: "Did you understand?"
"I see, boss," a bearded mercenary head grinned, showing his yellow teeth: "This is not the first time I've done this."
In the distance of the hillside is a gathering place for orcs. It was built on the basis of a human abandoned village and there is a farmland around it. At this time in late autumn, the grain in the farmland had been harvested. The orcs built a pile of things similar to barns, and a large amount of harvested grain was stacked there.
From visual inspection, the surrounding defenses are not tight, probably because they are behind the sinners and far away from the front. Therefore, the sinners have not invested in a rigorous defense force.
After many days of sneaking, Longbottom took the team around the front, all the way west and north, and at this time had reached the depths behind the enemy in the area occupied by criminals.
Although if you really pursue it, Longbatten and others who belong to the central theater are actually worthy of the name, because it is already the territory of the western theater.
"Okay! Then give him a vote! After so many days of running, the brothers haven't caught anything, so they can't just go back empty-handed like this!" Longbatton's smile seemed a little dim at night.
He then glanced at the muse beside him: "You follow me."
Muse silent, nodded, but inserted a dagger into the boots.
At midnight, the orc settlements in the distance have fallen into silence. There are not many orc warriors here. Most of them are old and weak women and children among the orcs. From a village of this size, there are only a few hundred orc warriors in the town.
Even so, Longbottom didn't dare to care, because he had dealt with the orcs too much, and he already knew that even the underage guys among the orcs, in terms of physical strength and combat effectiveness. It is enough to be comparable to a human adult warrior, and even those old or weak or female orcs, if organized, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
It was lurking for a while, and it was not until midnight that a sneak attack was launched.
The people responsible for the attack and noise around launched the first offensive in the woods around the gathering place. In the grass, human warriors deliberately made movements, shouts and horns, and some experienced mercenaries. Knocking on the stone, mimicking the sound of a horseshoe.
Soon, these movements alarmed the orcs in the settlement, and saw a large number of orcs rushing out of it. Looking at the night, countless torches and stars swarmed out. Although there were only a small number of soldiers wearing armor, most of the other orcs were old and weak holding sharpened sticks, but in terms of quantity, only I'm afraid there are no fewer than a thousand people.
The orcs were attracted by humans, and flung out of the town. The humans responsible for drumming, however, stepped back slyly, attracting these orcs as far as possible.
Then the two teams responsible for setting fire took the opportunity to approach the settlement from both sides and quickly ran to the side of the barn.
Although there are several orcs guarding beside the barn pile, these guys hunt World of Warcraft all year round in front of the guys who are used to mercenaries. This kind of sneaking cold arrows in the dark is their best ability. Several orcs were shot dead by bows and arrows. Most were unable to make a sound, even if some orcs were not shot dead by bows and arrows. He was quickly pounced on by experienced mercenaries who felt up in the dark, and several people rushed up. Even if the orc was strong, he had his throat cut.
After the guards are cleaned up, in the dark, the mercenaries signal to each other everything goes well. These guys use bird calls as a signal to communicate with each other.
"Quick! The brothers who are responsible for attracting their attention will not last long!" Longbatten took the lead, first picking up the carry-on pouch and spilling the liquid inside the barn. The mercenaries one by one immediately made these skins as they were, and the ground was not wine and water, but all of them were oil!
These guys experiencedly spread the oil all over the place. Then one team after another quickly broke away from the distance, and the last person was responsible for ignition ...
In the distance, the orcs who were led away by the movements of humans suddenly found in horror that behind them, a blazing fire appeared in the direction of the barn! In the night, the movement of the flames was exceptionally clear and bright! Almost half of the sky shines like daylight!
"Fire !!! Fire !!!"
The orcs began to shout in panic. More orcs are so angry!
Because there is their food! Is their most precious food! !!
The return was finally completed. On this first piece of land occupied by humans, after a year of hard work, the harvested grain! !!
These old and weak women and children, as well as the soldiers who are at war with humans in the front line! Everyone must feed on these foods! And now it is late autumn, how many mouths rely on these grains for winter! !!
If the food is burned ...
The orcs can no longer chase those humans in the dark, they call out, turn around, and run back towards the granary chaos.
Under the action of fire oil, once the flame is boiled, the momentum is extremely fierce, and the fire is burning, and the orcs are burning to their hearts! At the same time, the night illuminated by the fire will expose the actions of Longbatton and others who are about to flee after the fire!
"Humans! Burned our food !!! Humans !!!"
The orcs saw Longbatton and others who were fleeing in the distance. These orcs who were furious, soon had several teams chasing after them desperately.
The soldiers in armor all rushed up, even if they were far away, they did not give up the intention! Human actions angered these orcs. Without killing these **** humans, they will never give up!
Beside the fire, the orcs started trying to put out the fire, but the fire poured oil. Such a fire spread along the wind in the dry autumn, and the orcs almost died. But it can't stop the fire.
Many orcs among the orcs slammed on the ground, howling and screaming, their chests stamped and their feet crying, their voices spread far away.
"Don't be dazed! They're catching up!" Longbottom kicked Muse fiercely. Just now in the sneak attack, Muse performed well. She severed the neck of a guard orc himself. It was the dagger she had stuck in her boots.
But when retreating at this moment, when he heard the cry coming from far behind, Muse seemed to stay a little bit, Long Barton's words drew a curse and woke her up.
Behind me. The orc warriors held up their dazzling long swords and chased them with murderous faces!
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Lombaton dragged Muse, and then whistleed.
Soon, those orc warriors chasing the ground. I received a blow!
A team of human warriors in charge of the response was ambushed, hiding in the woods and grass beside the retreat route, and launched a surprise attack on the group of chasing orcs with bows and arrows.
In the dark, these mercenaries who are good at hunting Warcraft just use their best abilities: harassment, ambush ...
After the first round of arrow rain, the chasing orcs fell a dozen and soon fell into chaos. Because in the dark, they can't tell how many enemies there are and in which direction! And those sly mercenaries gave full play to their maneuverability. After shooting the cold arrows, they quickly left the original ambush site and ran, while continuing to shoot arrows to harass.
After a few rounds of arrow rain. Although the damage of the orcs is not too serious. But he was completely fainted.
At this time, the main team of Longbottom and others have run farther and farther. And these are responsible for coping with the fighters after the break. After a sudden rush, they quickly divided into countless squads and fled in all directions.
Obviously, the orcs here lack tactical literacy. This kind of chaos in the dark makes them a little overwhelmed. In the dark, they did not dare to continue chasing blankly. Although the food was burned, it was very angry, but at night, they must be careful. God knows exactly how many troops attacked by humans ...
"Unfortunately, they are not chasing."
After running away, Longbatton and others ran into a wood. He jumped onto a big tree with agile moves that were extremely incompatible with his figure, took out the telescope and watched it backwards for a while, and sent Such a sigh.
"Unfortunately, if they continue to chase the ground, they can just set up an ambush, maybe they can swallow this team of orcs!"
The mercenaries around them sighed with regret. Many people are already flexing their muscles, while others have started to wipe the blade. Hearing that there was no battle to fight, many people showed a depressed expression.
"Well, let's retreat." Longbatten waved his hand and glanced at the sky: "This ticket is doing well tonight. But the sky is about to dawn, we are now at their place, If every trace is exposed, it will be troublesome to be followed. "
Speaking, he coughed: "Old rules, everyone will retreat into four teams according to the original plan, pay attention to hiding the whereabouts, and gather at the scheduled place ... Let me say first, when the time comes, if anyone is late, everyone But I ca n’t wait for him! If anyone falls behind, find a way to climb home! "
The mercenaries smiled, but everyone's face was serious.
Everyone understands that Longbottom didn't make a joke! The danger of doing such things behind enemy lines is self-evident. Decentralized retreat. After arriving at the scheduled location, if anyone is left behind, then everyone cannot wait to risk all the lives of the large army!
Even if Lombarton himself is late and has fallen behind, he hasn't been able to feel the meeting place at the prescribed time, it will still be abandoned! This is the rule that Longbottom set himself!
Large troops flee, which is exactly the strategy that Longbatton set up when he formed this mace: one swarm and one scatter.
Muse followed Longbarton's team. Less than 300 people retreated all the way southwest. According to the original plan, they would walk for two days and then go south all the way in the direction of the turn. This route design, It is to avoid being surrounded by the enemy as much as possible even if it is found.
The four teams evacuated in different directions. The team of Muse Longbottom, the first two days, emerged day and night. And when you are on the road, try to stay away from the road as far as possible. When encountering mountains and mountains, encounter forests and forests, try to choose those remote places to walk.
On the evening of this day, a group of people have come to a small forest. Longbottom looked at the surrounding terrain and calculated the time: "Hurry up! I remember there is a river in front of the map. Tomorrow we will We can reach that river, and we will return to the southeast, and in two days, we will meet with our brothers.
A bunch of mercenaries are laughing, everyone has a look of victory on his face.
In the past two days, they also attacked two orc villages on the road, killed about 60 orcs, and set up an ambush to destroy a group of orc soldiers on patrol.
According to the rewards set by Longbatton during the establishment of the army, this time if everyone can go back alive, everyone can get a large reward. The Wolffang Army is not a regular empire. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of these people, According to the mercenary model, Longbottom set a set of rewards for killing the enemy, such as killing an orc, how many gold coins to reward, killing an orc warrior, how many gold coins, etc ... /
Anyway, there is a rich boss like Du Wei behind him. Such a generous bounty is absolutely not found in other empires.
A group of people was about to pass through this forest. Suddenly, they saw a few mercenaries who were exploring the road in front of them. They were all nervous and serious.
These people ran back from the depths of the forest, rushed to Longbatton, immediately lowered their voices and quickly said, "Can't go forward!"
"What's wrong?"
"Wolf ride! Many wolf rides!" A pathfinder mercenary ran out of breath, his face paled.
