Chapter 571

General Li didn't take advantage of the high spirits of the crowd to continue attacking the orcs. Although everyone seemed to have been beaten to death, it was only a temporary morale boost after all.

His purpose was just to cheer them up. After all, there will be battles later. If everyone's morale is low, then there is no need to fight, just pack up and leave.

When he is not absolutely sure, he will not easily send people to fight again. Otherwise, if he loses again, the faith he has built up for everyone with great difficulty may collapse, and even if he is a military god, he may not have the power to recover.

In fact, General Li had already guessed that things were not that simple. He also expected that the heavy cavalry would be defeated, so he had already prepared the shield soldiers to respond in advance. He just didn't expect that the two thousand heavy cavalry would be defeated so quickly that he was a little caught off guard.

What Niu Fu did was not a big mistake, the biggest mistake was that he chose to charge forward without finding out the way. starter

The heavy cavalry was meant to charge, and only the heavy cavalry regiment with the highest speed could be a deterrent, and the heavy cavalry without speed could only be a living target for slaughter.

It stands to reason that the orcs should take advantage of the victory and pursue it now, because this is the best time. As long as the morale of the human race is completely wiped out in one go, the human soldiers are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

But the orcs didn't change at all, as if nothing happened before. Even the centaur strong archers who had just fought changed shifts, which seemed to be only used to prevent the human race from continuing to attack.

In fact, General Li has already arranged his guards to prepare for the battle. These guards are his direct line troops, with strong combat effectiveness, and the lowest ranks are all black iron fighters.

With a strong teamwork ability of the Guards, the Black Iron Warrior can also display the strength comparable to the ordinary Silver Warrior.

Of course, there is a gap between them and the real silver warriors, but they can handle soldiers at the level of black iron warriors with ease. Unless the orcs attack in an all-round way, they will only launch small-scale local wars, which will only increase casualties.

Although the orcs are born warriors, most of the lowest-level warriors are only at the bronze or brass level, but they are better than humans of the same level in certain aspects because of their racial advantages.

General Li was a little surprised that the orcs didn't seize the opportunity to attack. This Marshal Long didn't seem to be a simple character, but he knew the truth of not being chased by the poor.

Since the orcs had no plans to attack, he was also happy to take his time, and simply took those carefully selected scouts to check the traces of the battle left last night.

Although Yan Ling was injured, he also joined in after briefly treating the wound. After all, this is not a battle, and what is needed is not a strong and healthy body, but meticulous insight, rich experience, and analytical ability to know the details.

"Captain, according to the situation, the ambush they encountered should come from underground?" A scout said firmly after carefully observing the traces on the scene.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The other scouts also nodded. Judging from the traces at the scene, the ten people from yesterday were probably ambushed by the orcs at their feet while they were observing.

Judging by the traces found now, this is indeed the result, but Yan Ling always feels that something is wrong.

It would be reasonable to say that one or two people were ambushed by the orcs underground, but this is a total of ten people. It would take time for the orcs to get out of the ground, right? The noise caused by this period of time is definitely not small,

It is impossible for the scouts he is optimistic about to not even have this ability to respond.

"Yan Ling, what do you think?" After checking the traces, General Li looked at Yan Ling.

"I always feel that something is not right, but I can't tell what is wrong. There are only three places that look like the first scene, and the other seven don't look like the first scene, but I really can't find other first scenes. The traces of the scene." Yan Ling thought for a while, frowning and said.

"Your observation is still very meticulous, but in fact only two are the first scene, and the other eight are not. You follow me." General Li smiled slightly, and walked first, Yan Ling and others followed closely behind. rear.

Several scouts were very puzzled. They didn't find any problem at all. They all thought that they found the first scene.

"This is the place you think is the first scene, right?" General Li led a group of people to a place with traces of battle.

"Isn't it? This should be the place where the ambushes were ambushed, right? A single strike leaves almost no traces. If you don't pay more attention, it is very likely that you will be missed." Looking at the grassland with almost no traces, Yan Ling found no sign of fraud.

Yan Ling has always felt that there are seven places where there are traces of fierce fighting. If such a fierce fighting really happened, it is impossible for the sentry to not notice the abnormality.

But those battle traces looked so real that people had to believe it, and several caves that could accommodate people were found nearby, which further confirmed the authenticity of the ambush.

"This one is indeed very similar to the other two traces, but think about it carefully. In the dark night, you secretly peeped at the enemy camp, what kind of actions would you do?"

"I will lie on the ground, or half squat on the ground, and use binoculars to check the enemy camp." Yan Ling said, taking a posture along the way.

Yan Ling took out the binoculars, first squatted on the ground, walked slowly, trying to find a suitable position, then lay down, moved his body forward, and adjusted the angle. When he adjusted his angle and stood up, the grass under him left some marks.

When he saw these traces left by himself and the original traces here, he suddenly realized. Because the direction of the grass lodging here is not towards the orcs, but towards the humans.

This meant that either someone was lying on their stomachs facing the human race, or the scout sat cross-legged on the ground to observe the orcs.

His own soldiers knew very well that no one would sit here cross-legged and observe carelessly, and they must be careful, trying to narrow their body space to prevent being discovered by the enemy.

In this way, there is only one possibility, this should not be the first scene, even if it is the first scene, it is the first scene that has been disguised.

"Why did they do this?" Yan Ling was very puzzled by this, it was simply unnecessary to take off his pants and fart. Everyone has been arrested, so what if the first scene is discovered?

General Li raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer, "In order to mislead us and at the same time cover up the real trump card."

"Misleading us, covering up the trump card?" Yan Ling looked at General Li suspiciously.

"The orcs have a race known as the invisible killer, you must have heard of it?"

"You mean the chameleons? So all of this was done by the chameleons? Aren't these hidden underground holes meaningless?"

"I said it to cover up and mislead. The reason they took the trouble to do this is to make us think they are using a burrow."

"What's the point of doing this? Let's focus on the underground to prevent them from sneaking underground? Wouldn't they have no chance to sneak attack from the underground?" Yan Ling frowned. The conclusions were contradictory, which made him feel a little confused for a while. No brains.

"If it was you, who left so many underground holes that are easy to be discovered, would you still sneak attack from the ground?"

"Under normal circumstances, of course not, but if it is when the two armies are facing each other and the two sides are stalemate, or after launching a surprise attack, and cooperate with a large army to launch a general attack, then even if it is dangerous, you should try it."

"That's right, but now is neither the time for a surprise attack nor the time for a battle, so there won't be such a situation happening for the time being, otherwise it's just to die."

"They don't sneak attack from the ground. Are they planning to send chameleon warriors to steal the camp from the ground? That's not realistic at all. It's okay for chameleon warriors to sneak up on a few people. There is no difference between sneak attacking the camp and dying. If they dare to come, we will Just let them come and go!" Yan Ling's eyes were fierce, and his tone was full of resentment.

"Of course they won't send chameleons to attack the camp, but it won't be peaceful tonight."

"So what if it's not peaceful? Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with earth. Are we still afraid that they will fail?" Yan Ling clenched his right fist and stared at the camp of the orcs.

"Night is not an advantage for us humans, and they don't just have a frontal battlefield. They must be trying to push behind us!" General Li glanced at the vast grassland behind him, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Advance from behind? Are you saying that their burrow is just a cover, and the real killer is behind us? They want to raid our back when attacking from the front, so that we will be thrown into chaos by the enemy?" Yan Ling looked suddenly enlightened.

"No! Their numbers are much smaller than ours. Wouldn't it be a little risky to divide the troops? Even if we are attacked from the front and back, they still have the advantage at all!"

"That's why we chose night! If you suddenly found that there were battle flags covering the sky and the sun behind you when the number of enemy troops was unknown, would you panic?"

"This..." Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Now he understood what General Li meant, and he could guess the orc's intentions.

"I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight!" General Li looked at the distant sky and said meaningfully.

A strong wind blew up on the Desperate Prairie, and the half-person tall wild grass swayed with the wind. The clouds in the distance are as black as ink, and there are even occasional flashes of lightning. The oppressive air makes people feel a little restless...
