Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"That is to say, you left Resado in Jumu Village and escaped by yourself?"

In the big village of Yandong Mountain, Qi Erwei, who had escaped from Jumu Village, was kneeling on the muddy ground in the middle of the big tent. His battle armor was still covered with dust, and there were even some withered leaves on his helmet. He looked very embarrassed. .

Shortly after Resado's defeat, Qi Erwei took the remaining remnant army back to the Dazhai of Yandong Mountain. Compared with the confidence when he went there, Qi Erwei returned with a sad look on his face.

When he went there, he brought tens of thousands of elites from the two banner regiments, and now the number of people he brought back is no more than 2,000. It is no wonder that Adru's words are full of anger. If he didn't bring back a lot of information, Ah Drew probably ordered someone to drag him down and behead him.

"It was Resado who asked me to evacuate first. When I evacuated, Resado wanted to make a last-ditch effort. Now there is no news from him. The human army has not stopped. I am afraid that General Resado's side will fail."

"Resado asked you to evacuate first? Or did you find an excuse for yourself to flee in fear of war?"

"Give you a minute, and give me a reason not to kill you."

"Master Adru, the strength of the human army this time is too strong. According to my tactics, although the battle was difficult at the beginning, it was different after the unicorns joined the battle. Those unicorns are not even great warriors. Their opponents, humans dispatched more than thirty unicorn horses, and those unicorn horses are not only powerful, but also very flexible in the forest, and the battle is impossible to fight."

"In the jungle, we are no match for humans. If we stick to the wooden village, there will be no other result except being burned alive by dozens of giant dragons in the wooden village."

"Originally, Resado's task was to attack the human supply line and let the human beings disperse on their own in the woods due to food shortages, but the human beings directly transported the food through the giant dragon. The so-called difficulty in supplying food on the mountain road is a complete joke to the human army. It is a safer and more stable way to transport grain and grass by dragon.”

"In the end, General Resado sent a letter saying that he had discovered a flaw in human beings, and he was ready to take a risk. Because he is in the heart of the human army, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, there is not much possibility of escaping. He sent a letter in advance to let me leave. .”

"I must inform General Adru of the human intelligence report in detail, and bring the rest of the people back. If General Adru still thinks I deserve to die, then please use me as a sacrificial flag."

After finishing speaking, Qi Erwei completely knocked his head on the ground, as if resigning himself to handling, but in fact he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Since he didn't choose to fight to the death like Resado, he naturally didn't have the will to die. In fact, all his actions were not as righteous as he said. If it was really just to pass the news, it would be fine to send a few messengers back. Even though he came back in person, in the end he still didn't want to die, or rather he didn't want to die meaninglessly.

His remarks moved the legion commander Adru and several orc officers present. At least the expressions on the faces of several other senior officers of the legion also changed from anger to seriousness, because through Qi Erwei's description, they After thinking about it, I realized that it would be impossible to do better by myself.

And Adru even let go of his right hand holding the battle axe, obviously putting away his murderous intentions. He believed at least 70% to 80% of Qi Erwei's words, because there are still many soldiers who have withdrawn, all of which are personal experiences For those who have not fought, just ask a few more soldiers to verify Qi Erwei's description of human strength, and Qi Erwei has no need to lie.

"In your opinion, how do you think we should prevent humans from attacking forward?"

Although Qi Erwei was the general of the defeated army, Adru still recognized his ability. This defeat was actually a crime other than war, so Adru still asked Qi Erwei about the next countermeasures.

Qi Erwei, who was lucky enough to pass the test, raised his head, but he didn't feel a little relaxed in his heart. Adru's question was too difficult to answer. He knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Adru for a few seconds, but he didn't say a word for a long time Come on, the surrounding orc generals also frowned, as if they were also feeling a headache from the current situation.

"Is there no chance of winning?"

In the end, Adru, who waited for a minute, took the initiative to break the silence.

"Lord Adru, we have less than three banner regiments and more than 13,000 warriors at our disposal. There is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation with humans. I suggest that we abandon the cave mountain and return to the plateau. Garrison in Huangshi City, wait for the follow-up reinforcements to meet before making plans."

Qi Erwei can be regarded as a wise general among the orcs. Facing this situation, he just proposed a solution that is not a solution. If he can't fight in the woods, he should retreat, retreat to the deserted stone city, at least there is a strong The city is used as a reliance, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements there, maybe it can hold on a little longer.

It's just that Adru in the chief seat shook his head, and reluctantly took out a note and said:

"The order from Monaia just now, let us hold on for another ten days, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. We must stick to the front line of the cave mountain without losing, but there are retreaters who follow the military law."

"this…"

Sometimes many military orders are actually very unreasonable, but the people below have to implement them, just like the current highest command level of the orcs has no understanding of the difficulties faced by the Adru Legion in the dense forest, but they ordered them to hold fast.

Even if this order is difficult for others, Adru has to execute it. If the high-level executives later find out that his order is wrong, if it does not cause too serious consequences, he will be fined three drinks. If it causes serious consequences, he may liquidate one or two lesser role.

But if Adru dares to disobey the military order and take people out of the cave mountain line without authorization, or even directly withdraw from the northern dense forest and retreat to the deserted stone city, then only the military law is waiting for him. After all, everyone will have their own ideas. If everyone follows their own If you don't obey the military order, wouldn't the whole army be in chaos.

"So, there is no need to talk about the proposal to withdraw the deserted stone city. What we are going to discuss now is how to hold on for a week."

"With the current speed of human action, it takes less than two days to reach the cave mountain. Facing the attack of the human army, it is basically impossible for the cave mountain to hold for five days."

"If you can keep it, you have to keep it, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it. At worst, we will be loyal to the kingdom together in Yandong Mountain."

"Fight with humans!"

"Our cave mountain is not any other village, and it is impossible for human dragons to burn cave mountain like other villages. We will stick to this mountain, and we can hold on for a week no matter what."

"There is not enough water in the cave mountain. It is unrealistic to guard the cave mountain entirely, and there is no room for so many people on the mountain. There must be an army at the foot of the mountain."

Qi Erwei vetoed the whole army's idea of ​​guarding Yandong Mountain. Yandong Mountain is a rocky mountain. Although there are some springs on the mountain, the amount of water is difficult to sustain tens of thousands of troops. The lack of water is more uncomfortable than the lack of food. The army is trapped in Yandong Mountain If the water source is cut off by humans, they will die of thirst on the mountain in a few days.

Moreover, Qierwei still had an idea in his heart that he didn't express. If the whole army was trapped in Yandong Mountain, it would be equivalent to cutting off the way back. Qierwei didn't believe the Wangdu said that he would reinforce the troops after a week. The army marched from the Wangdu to Yandongshan At least it will take more than ten days. Maybe the king has already treated them as abandoned sons and asked them to maximize their remaining value.

"Does the city at the foot of the mountain need to be garrisoned?"

"No, the few villages at the foot of the mountain have no favorable location and are all made of wood. They can't stop the human army at all. It's better to abandon the villages at the foot of the mountain, transfer or burn supplies, and leave some troops to stay at the main village of Yandong Mountain. Some people sneaked back into the forest, looking for an opportunity to cooperate with the army guarding the cave mountain, and tried their best to involve human forces."

"Qi Erwei, I will give you a banner of five thousand people, plus the two thousand people you brought back, to arrange at the foot of the mountain. I will lead the first banner regiment to stay at Yandong Mountain, and stick to it until every soldier dies."

It stands to reason that although Qi Erwei's defeat was a crime of non-war and he had no fault of his own, he was a defeated general after all, and he even led his men to retreat without authorization. It was already magnanimous for Adru not to deal with this kind of defeated general. Now He actually handed over the heavy responsibility to Qierwei again.

At this time, the remaining troops in Adru's hands were not many, and most of them were handed over to Qi Erwei, and he undertook the most dangerous task.

Everyone knows that there is still a possibility of evacuation in the outskirts of the forest. It is only a matter of time before those who stick to the cave mountain face the human army with dozens of giant dragons and superior troops wiped out.

Not only the generals present were surprised, but even Qi Erwei himself was a little surprised. He was ready to become a member of the punishment battalion and go to the front line to charge and kill. Unexpectedly, Adru not only did not pursue him anymore, but also Put the army under his command.

"Master Adru, let me lead the army to defend the cave mountain, and you will lead the army to sneak into the forest to contain the human army."

"The commander on Cave Mountain can only be me."

Adru shook his head and rejected Chirway's proposal. Being trapped in the Jedi is a morale-destroying thing. If he leaves Cave Mountain as the supreme commander, it will easily damage morale again and lead the army to defend Cave Mountain. The only person can only be him.

"Needless to say, act according to the order, hurry up and make some preparations before the arrival of human beings."

"Yes, my lord!"

Qi Erwei no longer pretended to go out with the generals in the big tent. Now that the human army was approaching every minute, there was not much time left for the orcs to prepare. It would be good to buy some time and make more traps.

"well"

After several officers left, Adru on the main seat sighed, stopped and kept rubbing the palm of the ax handle. In fact, his heart was not peaceful...
