Heart of Empire Chapter 170: The war will start

In the end, Dane's persuasion didn't work very well, and Morno didn't listen to him again in the end, but decided to fight those orcs to the death.

What can Dane do? At this time, it is impossible for him to leave the Eastern Expeditionary Army when the war is about to start. Not to mention whether Morno will let him go, but if he is gone, where can he go? This huge eastern wasteland, if you want to go back, the orc army in front is a hurdle you have to pass.

"I can only do one game..." he thought in his heart.

Of course, it's impossible to be brutal in a fight. Obviously, if Morno assigned him a task that could be fatal or fatal at a glance, then he would absolutely not be able to do it——he was only using his brains for the benefit of others.

……

On January 19th, the Eastern Expeditionary Army in formation encountered the 4,000-strong Orc Vanguard Army head-on. The two sides were separated by a distance of almost two kilometers, and they looked at each other from a distance, but neither of them was in a hurry to make the first move.

Originally, the distance between the two parties was not far, so it would not take two days to meet each other. However, the orc vanguard was chasing after Dane's **** before, but later found that it couldn't catch up, and it might have detected the traces of Jere's Smir mercenary group on the road, and it might be closer, so it simply turned around Going too far, directly swallowed Jieer's troops. This process took a certain amount of time for the orc vanguard. Therefore, the orc army that emerged on the 15th did not meet the main force of the Eastern Expedition Army until four days later.

With a distance of several kilometers, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and even the strength of the orcs is stronger on paper. Of course, the small-scale confrontations between some of the scouting troops that were spilled out by each other were still unavoidable.

The main test force of the orc army is still the wolf cavalry unit that comes and goes like a shadow. But the wolf cavalry of the orcs did not find any advantage in front of the Eastern Expeditionary Army this time. The White Wolf Cavalry from White Wolf Fort is no less powerful than the orc wolf cavalry. In one day, the two sides fought more than a dozen small-scale battles, with each winning and losing. Less than 20 white wolf cavalry died, and the number of losses of the orc wolf cavalry on the opposite side was relatively much higher, reaching nearly forty.

These extra numbers are not the results of the white wolf cavalry, but the results of the elite rangers under Dane.

Dane has an elf ranger in his hand, this is something Morno knows. Therefore, during the confrontation of these small-scale reconnaissance troops before the war, he also received an order from Morno, asking him to send some rangers to join the reconnaissance. In small-scale battles, especially in this kind of open terrain, where there is no fear of being surrounded or ambushed, and the number of enemies is not too large, the superb shooting skills of the rangers are brought into full play.

A small group of elf rangers, when faced with the same number of wolf riders charging, often dare to put the opponent within a distance of 30 meters or even less before shooting arrows. Although, at this distance, the charging wolf may only need one or two breaths to pounce, but also, at a distance of less than 30 meters, the elite ranger's bow and arrow can almost be said to hit every shot. After a round of shooting, it is very likely that all the several wargs that rushed up were shot to death, and most of the wolf cavalry with them would be directly thrown into serious injuries, and then easily killed with a second knife.

Before the real battle starts, it is obviously a morale-boosting thing to win in the early stage. Morno was quite happy about this, and praised Dane in public. At the same time, he also said that these elves were all born 'mark marksmen', showing a great deal of envy.

Dane couldn't be happy. After he reluctantly made it through, he still had a headache when he returned to his camp. He didn't know how to fight tomorrow's battle.

"Boss, I don't think you need to think too much." Delin knew what Dane was worried about, and rushed over to comfort him, "Tomorrow's battle can't be avoided. Since we want to fight, we must fight well .”

Dane scolded with a smile: "Fuck off, I still don't know this truth? Don't worry, I have a plan."

Delin also smiled: "Hey, as long as the boss has a plan in mind."

"Teach your subordinates to be smarter tomorrow." Dane instructed, "Don't foolishly charge up against the knife. We should hit you, and you shouldn't. Don't go up and die."

"Do you want to avoid fighting passively?"

"Passive fart, passive avoidance of battle, what if we lose?" Dane scolded, "Just tell our old brothers not to be too aggressive, let those cannon fodder go to death. We spent The money has recruited more than two hundred mercenaries, not as treasures. Do you understand what I mean?"

Delin nodded quickly: "Understood, understood..."

……

On the second day, that is, in the early morning of January 20th, the two sides walked out of the barracks at the same time, set up chariots, horses and cannons, and began to scold each other at a distance of one kilometer.

Not many orcs can understand the common language of humans, and not many humans can understand the orc language, but the two sides scold each other very happily ~IndoMTL.com~ It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, that kind of atmosphere , Emotional catharsis is the key, otherwise, the tense atmosphere before the war is enough to drive people crazy.

Dayne led his army, on the left flank of the army. Also on the left flank with him is Delina's Pure Sword Mercenary Group. Under Morno's appointment, Dane became the commander of the left wing of the Eastern Expeditionary Army without hesitation, and he commanded nearly a thousand troops. The elf ranger stood at the forefront of the array, with a hundred or so horror warriors and two hundred and twenty or thirty pure swordsmen standing behind the guards of the array, and behind them were five hundred miscellaneous soldiers from the two mercenary regiments. Soldiers, at the core position at the back, is the 100-man sword dancer troop led by Dane, as well as spellcasters such as mages and priests. Sixty dragonmen are on standby at the far side.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The continuous and rhythmic sound of war drums sounded, and looking at the opposite side, the orc army began to move forward. At the same time, on our own side, the horns urging the army to attack also resounded across the battlefield, and the human army also moved forward without showing any weakness. The speed of both sides is not very fast, and the distance is still relatively far, so it is necessary to preserve physical strength in the final charge and fight.

When the phalanxes of the two armies approached to meet at a distance of 500 meters, the archers on both sides shot the first wave of arrows. Shooting at this distance is basically a demonstration. Few sharpshooters can complete a hit at this distance, and neither can Patience.

However, when the armies of both sides approached another hundred meters, the lethality of bows and arrows began to show!
