Chapter 671 Chapter 630 Crazy

"Wolf riders?" Longbottom's expression darkened, and he immediately asked, "Where are they? Are there many of them? Can you vote for him?" The mercenary who explored the road resolutely shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible! Just pass this forest in front, and the number is at least three or four thousand. I was worried that the distance was too close, so I didn't dare to stay longer. You know, those The giant wolf's nose is too sharp, we dare not approach it. But the number is at least three thousand, not much more!" Although the voices of the two were low, many people around heard them, and everyone changed color immediately!

Thousands of wolves to ride? ! These people have spent a lot of time on the front line. Who doesn't know how powerful the wolf riders of the orcs are?These wolf cavalry move like the wind, gallop and jump, and fight fiercely and cunningly. What's more, the opponent's number is as many as several thousand, while my own team has less than 300 people... In terms of combat power, their own side is an absolute disadvantage.And...Looking at the surrounding terrain, there is only this small forest, and most of the other places are flat wilderness. On this flat terrain, relying on 300 people on one side to deal with thousands of wolves is undoubtedly a dream .

Longbottom trusted this Pathfinder mercenary very much. These Pathfinder mercenaries were selected from the Spike Army with the most experience, and they were trustworthy both in terms of skill and mind. "Damn it." Longbottom scratched his hair angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "I checked before, and there is no large-scale settlement of orcs near here, and it is far away from the front line. How could there be so many of them?" Wolf cavalry appear here?!" "Boss, are you here to chase us?" A subordinate turned pale. "Probably not." Longbottom's eyes flickered: "If they are chasing us, you don't need to send so many, one thousand is enough. And... the wolf cavalry is the elite of the orcs, and they will not be sent to chase us. —If they came to chase us, with the mobility of the wolf cavalry, they would have caught up with us long ago."

After thinking for a while, he gave a wry smile: "It can only be said that we are unlucky. Maybe these wolf cavalry were passing by here and were bumped into by us." Everyone looked at Longbottom eagerly. At this moment, even an idiot would know that with his hundreds of men, thousands of wolf cavalry encountered the enemy in the wild. Gap is not eligible. "Let's get out of here immediately!" Longbottom ordered. According to the pathfinders, those wolf cavalry were on the other side of the woods, less than two kilometers away from here, and those wolf cavalry were also resting beside the woods. , whether it is far or not, whether it is near or not...

However, Longbottom knew very well that if he could lead the most elite wolf cavalry among the orcs, and there were thousands of wolf cavalry, the leader of the team must be smarter than ordinary orcs.When the large army is resting by the woods, even an idiot knows to send out sentries to patrol around. The other party will definitely do the same!Once the opponent's sentinel wolf cavalry patrols along the forest and finds people like themselves...then it will be troublesome! run now! ! At this moment, no one dared to hesitate. Everyone packed their luggage quickly. Even when they were running, Longbottom didn't let anyone hide and bury the traces left by them.

For example, the pits that have been dug for fire, and the footprints on the ground, etc... He knew very well that sooner or later the opponent would send wolf cavalry to search here.And once you search here, even if you hide these traces before you leave, the wolf rider has one of the most powerful skills, which is the sense of smell of the giant wolf!These nasty guys have a better sense of smell than dogs!As long as a wolf rider comes here, no matter how cleanly the traces are hidden, the other party can smell the smell in the air, and there used to be many humans here! What's more, people like myself, who have been running for many days, scrambling, and not taking a bath for a few days, who is not full of stench?And there's blood on her body...

Now the only option is to run! At the same time, pray to God to bless, the other party will find out later, so that people like myself can buy more time to escape! A group of people quickly left the woods and fled all the way south in the opposite direction of the wolf cavalry. According to Longbottom's plan, the map showed a river to the south. If they could cross that river, they might be able to escape the danger of the wolf cavalry. However, it was probably because Longbottom, a fat man, used dirty words such as "thief God" on weekdays, and had been abandoned by God long ago, so his prayer was not received by God.

A group of people had no horses (they were airborne from the air to the enemy's rear with hot air balloons, where did they get the horses?), and ran all the way in the wild, but unfortunately they only ran less than two or three kilometers. The last mercenary in the queue was He uttered a terrified cry: "There are pursuers behind!!" Sure enough, above the horizon, a cloud of dust rose in the distance. Longbottom picked up the binoculars and took a look. In the distance, above the wilderness, a group of wolf cavalry had rushed over quickly. Giant wolves were running and jumping. The wolf knight on his back was full of murderous looks, holding a shining long knife in his hand!

was found! Longbottom's scalp felt numb! He quickly estimated the speed of the two sides. Although the other side seemed to be quite far away from him now, his group, without horses, could not run a four-legged giant wolf on the plain with two legs.If he ran like this, he might be caught up before reaching the river! No choice, act decisively!Without hesitation, Longbottom immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Squad!!" Everyone heard his order, and everyone understood that the boss wanted to continue to divide the troops and continue to disperse the 300 people. In this case, the opponent's pursuers might be confused for a while, and they might only chase one way. people have a chance of surviving.

but…… "Boss, we have few people, so we can't divide any more! In case the other party splits up and chases after us..." A mercenary immediately shouted, his face absolutely changed: "Why don't I take a team and stay here to end the rear! Buy you time!" "Break the queen!" Longbottom scolded: "The number of the other party is thousands! Dozens of you are swallowed in the blink of an eye! You can't buy time! Don't die in vain! Divide up!" Longbottom's division of troops was very skillful. These mercenaries who had been trained by him for a long time were quickly distributed according to the order.

According to Longbottom's strategy of dividing troops, it is called: layer by layer decomposition. That is to say, when the wolf cavalry behind them catches up within sight, the wolf cavalry will see that this group of about 300 humans suddenly split into a small group and fled in another direction. , and the team that was separated seemed to have only a few dozen people or even less. At this time, if the wolf knight who was the leader of the chase was not the kind of delicate guy, he would probably have made a decision: ignore the small ones, just bite the big ones! ! In this way, the separated teams will have a lot more chances of survival. The number of divided troops must not be too many! This was Longbottom's strategy. Along the way, they ran for about several hundred meters, and the wolf cavalry behind them had already caught up with them. They watched the human beings in front of them helplessly, and they had divided into three groups three times. Only a few dozen people. Sure enough, the leader of the wolf cavalry who led the team laughed: "They are scared! Those humans have already deserted! Don't worry about those deserters, just chase after the big troops!" By the time of the fifth division of troops, Longbottom's brigade had less than a hundred people left.The two hundred people who were separated successfully formed a small team and fled away. But Longbottom's own team was firmly watched by the wolf cavalry behind them.Moreover, the opponent's distance is already very close! It was so close that I could even hear the sound of the wolf's hooves and the roar of the wolf cavalry! "Run, brothers! There is a river ahead!!" Longbottom was already out of breath from running, but he still mustered up all his strength and roared loudly to boost morale. Running wildly all the way, finally some mercenaries couldn't hold on and fell behind, and some accidentally fell to the ground, and they couldn't get up anymore, and their whole body collapsed. Some people ran slower and slower... Finally, they were caught up by the wolf cavalry. After the wolf cavalry caught up with the humans, they raised their long knives and cut off the head with a bang! river!river! Ahead is the river! ! Longbottom had seen the river!just in front!Five hundred meters!Four hundred meters... three hundred meters... The shouts of the wolf cavalry behind them seemed to be in their ears, and even some mercenaries who fell behind were caught up by the opponent and screamed before they died! When a group of people finally ran to the river, Longbottom immediately yelled, "Jump into the river!" At this moment, the vanguard of the wolf cavalry has chased to the end of the queue of this group of people, and the wolf cavalry at the front has brandished a long knife and charged into the crowd! thump!thump! !thump! ! ! With the sound of diving, human beings were driven to jump into the river one after another, just like making dumplings. It is autumn now, and the summer rain season has just passed. Fortunately, it has not entered the dry period of winter, and the river is still very deep and wide. Most of Longbottom's party jumped into the river, and only the last twenty or so were caught up by the wolf cavalry!The human warriors who were being chased were waving their weapons in despair, struggling to die, and some of them had red eyes, and rushed madly at the wolf riders beside them, and some of them roared frantically: "Boss! Send my bounty home!!" The twenty or so human mercenaries who fell behind did not have time to jump into the river, and fell into the queue of the overtaken wolf cavalry. Within a moment, they were all strangled! Longbottom was bleeding in his heart, but he bit his lip firmly, and swam desperately towards the opposite bank with the rest of his men in the river. Finally, fortunately for Longbottom and others, the wolf cavalry did not go down the river to catch up. Because, the mercenaries like Longbottom and others did not wear metal armor in order to maintain mobility in the enemy's rear. Most of them only wore casual leather armor. But these wolf cavalry, as the elite among the orcs, all wore solid iron armor made by dwarf craftsmen-although these armors are very strong, they are also very heavy, so although the wolves are not afraid Water - It can even be said that the water skills of most wolves are not bad. However, because of this heavy armor, all the wolf cavalry gave up their intention of swimming in the water and pursuing them. And... Looking at the number of humans jumping into the river and swimming, it seems that there are not many. The leader of the wolf cavalry seemed to be somewhat satisfied with the result - in this kind of weather, there was no need for his soldiers to take off their armor and go swimming in the icy river in order to chase down and kill dozens of humans. The wolf cavalry just separated into two teams and searched towards both sides of the river to see if it was possible to go around the end of the river and continue the hunt, or if there was a shallow place to cross the river. On the other side, after Longbottom and dozens of people finally got ashore, everyone was so exhausted that they almost collapsed.Longbottom threw off his wet hair, and stared at the opposite bank resentfully.Those wolf cavalry howled and roared on the other side, making threatening sounds, and some wolf cavalry laughed sharply—probably laughing at the embarrassment of their own group. Longbottom gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but finally took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Everyone, don't rest, evacuate here immediately! We don't have time to rest! If you want to survive, get up and hurry up!" Walk!" But then, when counting the number of people, a piece of news stunned Longbottom completely! Of my three hundred men, I divided up five times on the road, two hundred ran away, more than twenty people were left behind, and there were less than eighty left.And the most important thing is that among the eighty people, one important person is missing, and this person, Longbottom clearly remembers that when he jumped into the river just now, he was not far from him, and he jumped into the river with him. In the river! ! Muse! "Where's the Muse?! Damn!! Why is the Muse gone?!" The fat man pulled his hair frantically.
