Chapter 14 The Ambush and the Slaughter of the Village
The route of the human grain transport team is to start from the south gate of Caiyundun City, and then walk along the official road for about thirty miles, and you will reach a rarely visited valley. All //Book //Small //Tell me //Net //This valley is not too big and the terrain is not dangerous, but it is located on the road that mankind must pass, and it can be regarded as an excellent ambush place.
The human grain transport team only has 5,000 troops, and this little combat power is not in our eyes. What we need to consider now is how to defeat all the enemies in one go.
As long as they can kill all the enemies, although they will be surprised by the sudden disappearance of a grain transport team, they will not realize at the first moment that a lonely army of the beast tribe has penetrated into their hinterland.
The later our team is exposed, the more beneficial it is for us to act, and it will naturally cause greater trouble for mankind. We chose this valley because we were attracted by its geographical particularity. As long as we block the two ends of the valley, this grain transport team will be explained here.
Think about it, we have four thousand elite beasts here, more than half of them are powerful berserkers, plus hundreds of priests who have experienced battle formations for a long time, hundreds of archers who can pass through hundreds of steps, and hundreds of archers with extremely fast flying speeds. With such a luxurious lineup, it is only a matter of destroying this grain transport team in the blink of an eye.
We raided into the human territory and didn't carry much supplies. Soon a grain transport team was sent to us as a target. It can be said that everything was going very smoothly, just like the beast god really blessed us.
When it was dark, we moved our troops to the valley early, and then divided our troops into two groups, setting up ambush at the entrances and exits, one in front and one behind. At the same time, we lie the priests and archers on the mountain walls on both sides, just waiting for the human grain transport team to enter this valley, and we can immediately close the door and fight the dog.
It was almost noon, and the traces of the human grain transport team finally appeared in our sight.
The leading vanguard team had about a hundred cavalry. They were all light cavalry equipment, and they should be human scouts. From this point of view, the combination of human army in various military services is still unique. Although it is just an ordinary grain transport team, it is also known that scouts were sent to explore the way first, and the work team followed behind.
Humans' individual soldiers' ability to fight is far inferior to our beast tribe, but in large-scale battles, they are always able to defeat our beast tribe, and there is not without reason. You must know that in this era of cold weapons.
Reasonable combination of troops and the most suitable formation can bring the army's combat effectiveness to the limit.
Unfortunately, the coordination of our beast tribe is too poor, and small-scale elite soldiers can be cultivated, but if you want to train an entire army like a brain and an arm, you probably won’t be able to do this even if the beast god is reborn.
However, this may be the difference between our beast race and humans. We rely on bravery on the battlefield. Humans rely more on overall cooperation and combat. We embody strength on the battlefield, while humans express their skills on the battlefield.
This valley is the hinterland of the Principality of the Sith and is located on the official road. It has always been safe. The human scouts only checked symbolically and did not take the investigation into it in particular. After seeing the smooth road, they did not continue to look up the two mountains, so they signaled that everything was safe and the brigade could move forward.
This is sometimes the case on the battlefield. As long as you have a small negligence, the consequences of the entire army may be the result of annihilation. However, this time, humans no longer have the chance to regret it.
In addition to Jinhou, this human grain transport team is composed of infantry troops, including three hundred archers, and these archers are our first target.
The carriages used by humans to transport food are not horse carriages, but ox carriages. The main reason is that, in the war period, the value of horses is much greater than that of cattle, and, in the second place, the weight of ox carriages is better than that of horse carriages. This grain transport team is not in a hurry, so of course, they chose ox carriages as a means of transportation.
The use of ox carts to transport grain makes the grain transport team not moving fast. Before their front team could get out of the valley, the back team had already rushed in. At this time, the human team was lined up in the valley like a long snake, with flaws everywhere. This was our most convenient opportunity to take action.
At that moment, I let out a long roar without hesitation, flew down with my sword, circled the heads of the human flag-holding soldiers, and took advantage of the situation to cut off their military flag.
The fall of the human military flag is equivalent to the horn of our beast tribe blowing the attack. All the soldiers will not be ruthless at this time. With a sound that is almost neatly like a bowstring, a hundred feather arrows advanced in unison, shooting down from the two walls of mountains as lightning, and immediately shot a hundred human archers to the ground.
At the same time, the priests also took action. Although the spells they chanted were different, the target of the target was the same. In a moment, hundreds of archers fell to the ground.
The sudden change frightened the humans. Before they could prepare for battle, the second feathered arrow broke through the air and shot the last hundred archers of human beings on the spot. Without the support of the long-range troops, the human army in front of them was not much different from the lamb to be slaughtered.
The priests and archers took turns to vent their firepower from the mountain wall to humans. After losing the archers, humans did not even have the power to fight back.
After the sudden attack, the human commander wanted to issue an order to let his subordinates defend and counterattack, but after I cut off the military flag, I had already set my sights on him. Before he could convey the order, he had already slashed over with a sword and took off his big head.
The humans who lost the commander suddenly ran around like headless flies. The front team was delusional to rush out of the exit, while the back team wanted to withdraw from the valley as soon as possible, making the situation even more chaotic.
Our Beasts ambush firmly guarded the entrances and exits of the mountains. The humans rushed forward were just sent to death. After about half an hour, all the human grain transport troops in the valley were wiped out, and none of our Beasts soldiers died in the battle except for dozens of minor injuries.
Five thousand enemies were killed in one battle, but no warrior was killed in the beast tribe. This first battle that went deep behind the enemy was really beautiful. We easily won this great victory without even taking action on the sacrificial paper talisman. There is no need to waste such precious resources as the sacrificial paper talisman here.
I asked Caiyinhart to lead the team to clean the battlefield. Some human wounded soldiers who had not yet died were also stabbed. This is no wonder that our beast tribe is cruel, because on the battlefield, either you die or I die. And we are preparing to fight guerrillas, how can we contain prisoners?
The ox cart was scattered in the valley, and we quickly gathered it together, took as much supply as possible, and then lit a big fire to burn the valley into a single moment.
The bodies of five thousand human soldiers and most of the materials we have not taken away. In addition, the traces left by this battle were all burned by this fire. When humans discovered that the fire broke out and came to investigate, we had already escaped dozens of miles away. At that time, what was left to humans would definitely be confused. They would definitely not understand why a fire could not return the entire grain transport team's tablets?
After doing this beautifully, our large army hurriedly retreated to the south. Among our group of beast warriors, many of them are good at hiding traces. Their actions can eliminate the traces of our army after marching as much as possible, thus reducing the possibility of our exposure.
We tried to go to a remote place when we reported the army. When it was dark, we would station in a small woods everywhere to slightly adjust the fatigue we had experienced over the past two days.
When Tianhao was dawn, Caiyinhart and Zhuols, together with me, were about to greet everyone, when Gauss came to me with a heavy expression on his face: "General Iron Bear, our troops have been discovered by humans."
I was shocked, why did I reveal my whereabouts so quickly? So I asked, "Is it a scout of humanity? Is it too late to stop them?"
Gaus shook his head and said, "It's not the human race. It's just an ordinary commoner."
"Ordinary people? How could they find us?" I was surprised for a moment. For those masters of our beast clan, how could they not even hide the ordinary humans?
Gaus continued to shake his head and said, "We were discovered by these ordinary people. Last night, there was a small human village not far away in the forest we were stationed in. Two farmers went into the woods to chop wood on the drought. They happened to find our temporary camp. I arranged for the air force to chase after it and had already monitored the village. The village was not big, with a population of about 300 at most, but what should we do next? Please give instructions."
I smiled bitterly and said, "In such a remote place, there are actually human villages?"
In fact, our beast tribe has long been awakened to this point. In the human country, it is not like in our 100,000 mountains. Due to the limited land area and a large population, humans have long used a place where they can survive. Even if we have intelligence support and only collect some remote places to hide their whereabouts, it is difficult to guarantee that humans will not be discovered. However, I didn't expect that we would come so quickly at this time.
At this time, Reinhardt, who had been listening for a long time, said: "If it is discovered by humans, then we have no other way to imagine, we can only slaughter the village and silence it!"
Caiyinhart looked as usual when he said this, as if he was a very ordinary tone, but instead scared Dows away and said repeatedly: "Slaughter the village? How can this be done? Those humans are just civilians, not army, how can we kill them at will?"
"If you don't kill them, it won't take long before our team will be discovered by humans."
Nainhart's tone was still calm: "Being able to hide in the dark will increase our safety for our lonely army. I don't want to cause losses to our beast warriors because of sympathy with these humans."
My heart was like a mess, and I couldn't figure out what to do at this time. In essence, I practiced and sought the way of heaven. Whether in the previous life or in this life, my state of mind was considered a happy person. I never did anything that hurt the heavens, let alone such bloody acts of slaughtering the village at any time. But I vaguely felt that Caiyinhart's words made sense. We are now on the battlefield. Is such compassion necessary for us iron-blooded warriors?
I looked at Gauss with help, and found that his eyes were also a little confused, obviously he couldn't take any attention. The same one was Dowles, but Reinhardt still had a calm expression on his face.
It's no wonder that Gauss and Dowles were both civilians, and they were born with a kind of resistance to the behavior of treating ordinary people's lives as grass. What about Reinhardt? He is an authentic iron-blooded soldier who has been rolling on the battlefield all his life, let alone killing hundreds of people. Even if he kills thousands of people in one breath, he will not frown.
But I am the head coach of this orc army, and I should be the one who makes the decision! But how should I choose?
I am not an executioner. If I were asked to order the killing of hundreds of innocent humans at once, I would indeed feel panic. However, if I put these beast warriors who followed me in danger because of my thoughts, I would not have seen it anyway!
Kill? Or not? What choice should I make the right choice? Only then did I feel that on the battlefield, sometimes the difficulties encountered are more difficult than death.
After a long time, I reluctantly raised my head and gritted my teeth and shouted two words: "Slaughter the village!"
After saying these two words, I felt a feeling of exhaustion all over my body, because I finally understood the helplessness on the battlefield.
I don't want to kill innocent people, but now we are alone in the heart of the enemy, and my every move is no longer a matter of me, but is related to the life and death of the four thousand beast warriors. These humans are indeed innocent, but as long as we let them go today, the news of our troops will be leaked, and humans will definitely strengthen the police panic. In this way, our next action will encounter more troubles, and the casualties of our beasts will increase.
I feel guilty about these innocent humans, but I am responsible for the beast warriors who follow me. Their safety is the first element I need to consider now. In fact, in the final analysis, both humans and our beasts are all sacrifices on this battlefield. The only difference is that for our later victory, we have to sacrifice these humans first.
