Chapter 37 Pincer attack and night attack
The ogre magician put away the expression of coaxing the child on his face and said coldly:
“Didn’t he say that there were human heroes coming with him? Well, if he can't even defeat a human hero, what's the point of living?
Aini is too busy to take care of himself right now, so he must have no intention of dealing with us.
But those damn humans can't help it. If we don't leave, we must fight against the temple if we want to occupy this grassland
With the strength of our tribe, how can we be the opponent of the temple, so we must bring the royal court in. "
The strong beast man said in shock: "Our entire tribe cannot afford to plot against the Beast King. "
The ogre magician smiled slightly and said: "How can I have the courage to scheme against the beast king? What have we done? We have a fair and just transaction with the beast hero.
If he dies in human territory, it is purely because of his own bad luck. The Beast King is just launching a counterattack, and our tribe is the vanguard for the king! "
The strong orc man's mind is not very smart, and he was bypassed by the ogre magician in a few moments. He immediately ignored it and focused on staring at the orc hero coming down the mountain.
It was dark at this time, and these orcs did not notice an eagle circling on the top of the mountain. The eagle did not see the orcs hiding in the cave.
But the short orc came down the mountain at night and lit a few torches. He stood out in the dark and was immediately found by the witch.
With the faint light of the fire, the witch saw clearly the appearance of the orc hero, and immediately flew towards the camp.
Xu Lai slept in a tent for the first time, and he slept particularly soundly that night.
There were no entertainment activities at night, and his vision was not clear. It was impossible to practice archery and horse riding, so he lay down early.
When the witch turned into a human form and woke Xu Lai up, it was almost 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. Xu Lai had slept for nearly 5 hours, and Su Ya had slept for more than 5 hours earlier than him.
But even so, Xu Lai's head was still groggy. There was no way, no matter who was woken up in the middle of the night, he would not be very awake.
"Why, are those orcs really on the mountain?"
Xu Lai knew very well that as a member of the monsters, under Xu Lai's order, as long as the orcs were not found, it would definitely be a night They are all hovering on the top of the mountain, and they will never take the initiative to change into human form and wake him up.
The witch spoke calmly and said without any waves: "Yes, I found an orc leading more than 20 big-eared monsters coming down from the mountain."
Xu Lai was startled and said: "Coming down the mountain, will they pass by our camp, or have they discovered us?"
The witch still said calmly: "We can't be sure."
Xu Lai was speechless for a moment, and then asked quickly: "Then which direction did they come down from."
This was a question that the witch could answer. With a finger, Xu Lai knew that the conflict this time was Inevitably, the other party may even be coming after him.
“Can you determine how many opponents there are and what level they are?”
This was still a question that the witch couldn't answer. What she could tell Xu Lai was only what she saw. It was actually amazing that she could identify more than 20 enemies in the night.
Xu Lai thought for a while. If possible, he would not want to confront the orcs directly. After all, he had just begun to develop.
If you want to avoid fighting, you should immediately mobilize everyone to leave the camp while there is still time.
But this means that Xu Lai wants to give this camp to others, or dig out the heart of the castle immediately, but he doesn't know if this will be enough time to escape.
Farmers move very slowly and have to recover materials such as tents. When moving at night, they may fall behind or be attacked by wild animals. They may not even have to fight the enemy, but their own side will suffer unbearable losses. . Taking a long breath, Xu Lai whispered to the witch: "Go and wake everyone up. Make sure to keep the number of torches in the camp unchanged and let the shooters hide in the dark to assemble."
The witch nodded and left, and Xu Lai gently pushed Su Ya awake.
In the past, Xu Lai often chose to run away from problems, but that was because he hated trouble rather than being willing to bear losses.
He couldn't accept the loss of abandoning the camp, and there were only more than 20 enemies. Even the physically strong orcs might not have no chance of winning.
After Su Ya woke up, Xu Lai quickly explained the situation to her and told Su Ya his thoughts.
Su Ya didn't raise any objections, but quickly packed up her equipment, looking like she was ready to fight at any time.
Seeing this, Xu Lai also laughed and took out a few intact arrows from his backpack.
These are intact arrows collected directly from shooters and trainee shooters, and they were not even willing to use them during the afternoon training.
After deciding to fight, Xu Lai would not have other ideas half-heartedly, and all preparations would focus on this night attack.
The farmers held torches and still stayed in their original positions.
But the militiamen were already holding long guns and standing behind the fence near the mountain.
The fence is only as high as one person. The big-eared monster is a monster in the stronghold. Xu Lai is not familiar with it. What if this thing is very powerful at climbing over the wall.
Behind the gate, Xu Lai arranged the rogue and the horse archers.
As a level 2 melee unit, the rogue is already Xu Lai's best warrior, while the cavalry serves as a mobile force to support the entire frontal battlefield.
The rest of the people, including the witch and the long archer, were taken outside the camp by Xu Lai, and they randomly found a taller bush to ambush.
Their biggest advantage now is that the orcs' actions have been known to Xu Lai, while the orcs know nothing about their actions.
So, Xu Lai did not choose to stay in the camp and passively engage the enemy. Instead, he took his people outside the camp to attack from both sides.
Unless the orcs don't come to attack his camp, as long as they come, they will be attacked from a flank.
This group of orcs can't swim across the river in the middle of the night. The river is neither wide nor narrow.
The key is that the river is extremely deep. Even if the orcs can swim, as long as the militiamen are poking at the shore to prevent them from landing, they will all drown in this small river.
Xu Lai would not bet that such a large camp would allow him to lead people across the river smoothly.
He was not wrong in his bet. The orc troops came straight to the camp excitedly, without even lighting their torches. Xu Lai's move of asking the farmers to pretend not to see it had no effect at all.
Perhaps what Mayor Lacy said is right. These orcs are just a bunch of fools, with no brains at all.
Their torches allowed them to see the road clearly, but they also became beacons in the darkness. Originally, Xu Lai and the others had to wait for these people to approach the torches on the fence before they could shoot, but now they had just waited for them to turn around. He opened his bow and shot straight.
Including Xu Lai himself, there are a total of 11 shooters, all of whom have the same goal, that is, the orc who is surrounded in the middle and shows off his power the most.
In an instant, 11 arrows flew out. Except for Xu Lai's arrow which missed the target and landed in the group of big-eared monsters, the rest of the arrows all hit the orc.
