Chapter 593 Returning Victoriously
But he didn't know it yet, but the nightmare had just begun.
After gathering five hundred Rohan cavalry, Chang Wei dared to take them to annihilate the larger orc army.
These Rohan cavalry were sharpened by Chang Wei using the orcs to divide and harass the troops. Now they also know why the fighting spirit of this sparse cavalry was so high when they first met. They also have the same high spirit now. Will to fight!
After several days of continuous fighting, the orc army realized that a terrifying, ghost-like Rohan cavalry that came and went like the wind was targeting them!
The wolf cavalry sent in pursuit could only be beaten and had no way to fight back. When the army caught up, they could only see the burning corpses of the wolf cavalry and the devoured corpses of the giant wolf.
This scene even shocked the giant wolves. They were originally intelligent creatures that only cooperated with the orcs, but now they encountered barbarians who even eat giant wolves. Of course, the giant wolves would be shocked.
What the hell? It's not like they can't understand even eating trolls, but giant wolves are intelligent creatures. They can't eat intelligent creatures, but the Rohan people are eating them now. So what's the difference between you and the orcs?
Although giant wolves can also eat intelligent creatures.
Anyway, they can do this kind of thing because they are from the evil camp. Why are you doing this in Rohan now?
The Rohan cavalry have now eaten everything they can, so eating giant wolves is nothing to them, and it can also scare the enemy.
Chang Wei originally wanted to build Jingguan, but it might be prone to plague, so he gave up the idea.
Jingguan doesn't just do it, it has to consider many aspects, especially if it doesn't plan to spread endless poisons.
Dayuan doesn't care, but the people of Rohan still care.
Now, under the attack of these five hundred Rohan cavalry, the orc army no longer dared to divide its troops to plunder the village, nor did it dare to send out scouts and harass the wolf cavalry.
The orcs sent out are destined to die, and their power will only be wasted.
The orc army had no choice but to gather its forces and advance in an invincible formation.
However, Chang Wei did not confront the orc army head-on. He led the Rohan cavalry deep behind the enemy lines.
"The Orcs have been defeated by us, so they have stopped dividing their troops. In the past few days, we have shot and killed almost three thousand Orcs. For an army of more than 10,000 Orcs, this number is already very large. Let them break their muscles."
Chang Wei said to the general and cavalry.
"We have completed the mission excellently. I believe that the evacuation of Helm's Deep has been completed. I want to ask you, next, do you plan to continue to harass and fight here, or go back? If you continue to stay, it is possible will die, and the army’s advance speed can only delay it for two days at most.”
Chang Wei said.
After all, the Orc army is different from those small and large-scale Orc troops. The army can crush everything, and delaying it will not last long.
They can even accumulate experience by attacking the rear.
The most powerful thing that distinguishes intelligent creatures from ordinary creatures is the ability to form conditioned reflexes, which is the so-called "experience".
Why were previous attacks on the rear successful?
Because there are no survivors left, conditioned reflexes cannot naturally form. But now, there are too many strong orcs. They can withstand one failure, two failures, or even more failures, and then accumulate experience and respond.
Once they complete these operations, they can no longer continue to attack the rear. They are not stupid. By then, they will no longer be in the rear, but will move to the central army, and even spread out the army in an all-round way, making it impossible for them to bypass the rear. .
"We want to stay!"
The Rohan cavalry naturally said without hesitation.
After witnessing the power of cavalry and archery, they were more confident than ever, as if as long as there were bows and horses, they would never fail.
Chang Wei's goal was achieved. In addition to showing off and experiencing horse riding and slashing, he also wanted to build Rohan.
Now these five hundred cavalry will be the five hundred instructors of Rohan in the future. After realizing the power of mounted archery, Gondor will be in trouble.
Confidence has been built up, and of course the next step is to lead them to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Everything Chang Wei did was perfect, and it would have been impossible for anyone else to do it. He had already identified and dealt with all possible problems.
As expected, the orc army was just as Chang Wei expected. It was unable to react when it was hit in the rear.
More than a hundred Orcs and logistical support were directly killed, but the second time it was obvious that the Orcs responded. They used shields to cover the rear. Unfortunately, Chang Wei had already used rockets.
The material is an arrow from a strong orc, so it doesn't hurt anyway.
The rocket tactics successfully defeated the shield formation. The Orcs could hardly restrain their fear of fire, and then they burned a large number of "corpses".
When they attacked the rear for the third time, the Orcs sent out wolf cavalry to expel and intercept them, and the Orc archers shot at them.
The difficulty became higher and higher every time. This time Chang Wei didn't even want to fight. He retreated after the wolf cavalry came out. The wolf cavalry did not pursue them. They knew they could not catch up.
"The orcs have learned well, and they are getting better and better at how to deal with it."
The general and the others were naturally aware of this.
However, they did not give up, but continued to snipe the orc army, making the orc army miserable.
But in the end, the orc army still arrived in front of Helm's Deep.
"We have annihilated about 4,000 orcs and intercepted and delayed the orc army for nearly ten days. It's enough. Let's go back."
Chang Wei and his men watched the advance of the orc army from a high place. This unstoppable trend was simply despairing.
They had already tried to intercept them, but the effect was still not very good.
"Let's go, we have to go back to Helm's Deep in advance, otherwise it will be too late."
Chang Wei said to them.
The Rohan cavalry was reluctant to leave, but they still chose to go back.
Helm's Deep!
It is a canyon area in the north of the White Mountains and the south of Westfold, just under the Three Peaks Mountain. The valley mouth is surrounded by cliffs of the White Mountains, and in front of it is a vast plain with a deep and wide valley. Behind the deep valley is the Crystal Cave.
Strictly speaking, Helm's Deep is the long canyon between the exit of the Crystal Cave and the Horn Rock where the Deep Creek flows through the narrow section, but Helm's Deep also usually refers to all the fortifications at the entrance of the valley, with the Horn Castle as the main one.
