Chapter 164

The first river crossing operation was directly hanged by Zhenbei city. The orc coalition army did not give up. The Hongsha River and Baishui River could not stop the huge coalition army.

The northern wasteland has a cold climate. Only Zhenbei city has melted the ice and snow nearby because of the harvest altar, and then separated from Zhenbei city. The two rivers have frozen again. The cold climate of the northern wasteland allows the army to come over the ice.

Therefore, after seeing that the river crossing was blocked, the orc army did not force the crossing, but took the army to swim down the river, looking for strong enough ice to cross the river.

Su Lun was not surprised when he saw the action of the orc army. Although the general IQ of the orcs is not high, the shaman priests among the orcs are smarter than most humans.

It's difficult for the 5000 or 6000 troops to hide their tracks. Su Lun's scouts can easily monitor their every move. In addition, all the troops in the North Town have horses, and their mobility is far better than these Orc coalition forces. Su Lun didn't follow them.

Let Harrison take the security team and 2000 militia back to the north city of the town to guard the city, while sulun began to move downstream with the army.

Hongsha River and Baishui River begin to flow in different directions after flowing through the scope of Zhenbei city. Hongsha river goes south and Baishui River goes East. After leaving the scope of Zhenbei City, the two rivers have frozen again. The orc coalition army is to find strong enough ice, then cross the river and fight a decisive battle with the human beings in Zhenbei city.

The cold wind is howling! Night has crept in.

After fighting and marching during the day, the orc coalition troops camped in a dense forest about three kilometers away on the North Bank of the Baishui River.

The trees in the dense forest were cleared out, and a lot of campfires were lit in the camp. The orc coalition had only a few tents, and the other monsters could only sleep in the snow. Fortunately, there were a lot of oil pine trees around, and the vigorous campfire dissipated the cold around.

In the central tent, a campfire has been lit. Some meat is baked on the campfire, and a smell of meat permeates the tent. Scattered in the tent were several strong orcs, who were silently chewing their food.

The orc coalition has no food. Their food comes from other monsters, goblins, dog heads and jackals. They killed them when they gathered the monster army. In fact, the food in the orc tribe has long been insufficient. In order to win, they have used their hands on other monsters to get food.

Those gathered monsters not only serve as cannon fodder, but also serve as food after death. All monsters have no objection to this cruel way. In fact, some monsters even take the initiative to kill their companions and eat them.

The cold north wind blew the campfire through the woods. Except for the night watchers, other monsters have rested one after another. As descendants of the fire blade clan, they know the difficulties facing the tribe. If there is no food, they are likely to lose the battle with the Centaur.

If they want to defeat the centaurs, they can only plunder by themselves. The people who have the most food around are humans. Their goal is the north town.

Chewing the barbecue in his mouth, Sharon fireblade looked at the other monsters in the camp indifferently. The meat of jackals doesn't taste good, let alone the jackals who have been hungry all winter.

The meat is dry and hard, with a fishy smell. In contrast, he prefers to eat the meat of giant horn deer. The fat meat of giant horn deer is roasted by the campfire, and the hot oil is steaming. From time to time, one or two drops of oil will drop into the campfire. Just imagine, he can't help drooling.

As an intelligent race, orcs also reject other humanoid creatures as food, but in difficult times, there is no other way to get food, and they don't mind eating them. There was not much food in the tribe. All the food was left to the soldiers. Those women, children and children could only eat one meal a day.

Some of the weak ones, unable to resist this winter, have died, and the rest are yellow and skinny. As the second son of the tribal leader goron fire blade and one of the top leaders of the fire blade tribe, he knows very well what this war means to the whole fire blade tribe.

If the fire blade tribe wants to grow, it must defeat the Centaur tribe. Only by defeating the Centaur can they obtain enough land. If they fail, they will be expelled. The fire blade tribe can only wander and compete with other tribes for more living space.

As the key to this war, defeating human beings to obtain sufficient food is the most important thing at present. Only when sufficient food is obtained can the fire blade tribe go on, and then completely defeat the Centaur.

It cannot fail! There is no qualification to fail!

If we don't get enough food this time, the fire blade tribe can only watch the Centaur win and lose a large number of soldiers. The heavily damaged fire blade tribe has to flee under the pursuit of the Centaur tribe. There is no vast grassland for them to raise livestock! Every winter, a large number of people freeze to death, and every heavy snow will kill a large number of livestock.

Hunger and cold make the fire blade tribe weak. If there is no strong one in the tribe, the fire blade tribe can only die out or be swallowed up by more powerful tribes.

Now the hope of winning is at hand.

Humans have enough food, and the land they occupy is more magical. In the cold northern wilderness, it is not covered with ice and snow. If they can occupy here, the whole tribe will no longer have to worry about freezing to death in winter. Cattle, sheep and livestock can also spend the winter here safely.

More importantly, after occupying here, the fire blade tribe can attack the Centaur tribe from both sides. At that time, the best choice for the Centaur tribe that already has the disadvantage is to retreat.

The fire blade tribe that completely occupies here can grow into the most powerful tribe in the nearby wasteland after only a few years of cultivation.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the fire blade tribe with extremely difficult life. Even leading more wild monsters to continue to defeat humans southward and occupy a better place is not without a chance.

......

Sullen's camp.

After summarizing the collected information, Su Lun began to think about the problem. He was not afraid of the orc coalition in front of him. Although there were a large number, in his opinion, except the 1000 Orc soldiers, others were mobs, not to mention Su Lun, a legendary strong man. The fire blade tribe also has legendary strong men, but with centaurs on the side, they can't draw their hands.

"Those drow elves have been arranged." Suellen asked while enjoying Chris's massage.

"It has been arranged."

In this war, Su Lun asked the drow elves to send a large number of people to participate in the war. In fact, Su Lun did not trust these drow elves. In the system interface, the loyalty of these drow elves was mostly 65-70, and only a few drow Elves were more than 75.

These drow elves have good abilities in all aspects. The only disadvantage is their low loyalty. Although they have not done anything special for the time being, Su Lun is not sure whether they will stab them in the back when the territory is in crisis. The war in front of them is a test for them.

This test is to confirm their loyalty. If they can't put their position right all the time, the rights they enjoy today will be taken back soon. He doesn't need an army without loyalty, even if it is strong.

The drow elves with the highest loyalty are the first to be loyal to him. After joining sulun, his strength has broken through the third level, and his loyalty has reached 92. Even the loyalty of the drow elves scouts led by him is not less than 80.

Male drow elves generally have higher loyalty than female drow elves.

With his fingers gently tapping the table, Su Lun immediately said in a deep voice, "have you brought all the fire oil in stock?"

"It's all shipped."

"Give those orcs a surprise tomorrow."

......

After passing through Zhenbei City, Hongsha river began to flow southward. Thirty kilometers away from Zhenbei fort, the river began to deflect southward, and the river became gentle. At this time, the cold wind in the northern wasteland roared, and the river had all frozen when it arrived here. The orc coalition chose here to cross the river.

Su Lun and his army are already ready. The orc Legion in the distance continues to move towards the Hongsha River after crossing the ice of the Baishui River. The Hongsha river is the battlefield selected by both sides.

"Ding, a large number of hostile monsters have been detected near the host army. Please pay attention to the host."

"Ding, our army found the orc coalition, and the encounter was officially opened. The number of enemy troops exceeded 5000, and our number of participants was 302."

Su Lun opened the strategic map and saw a large red area at a glance. These red areas are gathered by a large number of red points. Now they have crossed the Baishui River and are moving forward to the Hongsha river.

"My Lord!" accompanied by the sound of a horse's hoof, a scout dashed to the horse, and the horse exhaled a piece of white fog. Before and after rushing close, the Scout turned over and dismounted and said, "five kilometers northeast, a large number of enemies are coming, most of them are jackals and dog headed men, and a few of them are orcs, including 200 Orc wolf cavalry!"

"Go down and have a rest!" Suellen waved him back.

At this time, the army of Zhenbei city has completed the formation. Speaking, the battle formation of Zhenbei city is very simple. The first row is the Longbowman, behind the Longbowman is the fully armed barbarian warrior, and finally the long Spearman square.

The attack routine is also simple. When the enemy charges, first let the Longbowman carry out arrow rain attack. When the enemy approaches, the Longbowman retreats, and then the barbarian soldiers launch a counter charge. The longspearmen square array goes up, and the Longbowman puts arrows in the back again. Although the routine is simple, it's easy to use.
