Chapter 109: Opening of meritorious service
() "You don't have to take care of the horses?"
The instructor and captain Bomi looked at each other. Neither of them thought that the war horse could be ignored;
"Go on, explain your thoughts to everyone;" the instructor encouraged;
Luo Xiu nodded, pointed at the map and said;
"Here, which is where the enemy's manufacturing point is, looks like a flat open area from the map. In order to manufacture large siege equipment, they should be manufacturing it in the open air, and the surrounding woods will also be cut down as manufacturing materials. In this environment, I
If you want to fight on horseback, there is no problem! And fighting on horseback is flexible. After completing the mission, we can go directly through the bushes from the side to the boundary river and return directly along the river bank!"
After Luo Xiu's explanation, the more they thought about it, the more feasible it became. Before, their thinking was limited to fighting on foot, but they really didn't think about it seriously while riding a war horse;
This is also habitual thinking. It is common knowledge to use foot fighting in forest warfare. They have not really considered the feasibility of riding on horseback;
The instructor's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought about the feasibility of the tactics, and said, "Yeah! I think it is feasible! As long as there is a field, it will be a great advantage for us to fight immediately! Now that the enemy has opened up the field for us, what should we be afraid of!"
Bo Mi also agreed: "I agree too! It's best to be able to ride a horse! If the enemy has more than a hundred people, as long as the horses charge, they will definitely collapse before they can react, which is very beneficial to us!"
The two people who came with Luo Xiu also nodded and had no different opinions;
"Okay! The decision to fight on horseback has been passed. Let's talk about the specific attack plan. What do Luo Xiu think?" The instructor first asked Luo Xiu. It can be seen that he has begun to pay attention to the scar face in the team;
This was not the time to be low-key and hide one's clumsiness. Luo Xiu naturally said whatever he was thinking, "The siege equipment are all large wooden devices. The fastest way to destroy them is of course fire! However, the humidity has been high recently, so starting a fire is a problem;"
The instructor said: "Yes, although fire is not good, once it burns it will be difficult for them to put it out, so we'd better stick to the fire attack plan. As for starting the fire, let's work together to find a way;"
"The team also has ignition oil, mixed with dry grass and dead branches, it should be effective..."
"There are also oil trees. When I came here, I saw a lot of oil trees in the forest. I collected some bark and branches of the oil trees and threw them in together as soon as the kerosene hit them. It's not difficult to burn a wooden frame!"
…
With more people and greater strength, after brainstorming, a complete ignition plan was released. As for the specific details, we will wait until tomorrow to check the specific terrain and enemy information before making a decision;
After formulating a general plan, Luo Xiu and his two teammates went back to rest. The instructor and Bomi did not continue the discussion. The two of them were very relaxed in this battle and had no pressure at all;
That’s not to say that the two of them are irresponsible for the war, but there’s really no need to worry too much!
We have seventeen fully armed swordsmen, and the enemy has less than one hundred and fifty ordinary orc soldiers. The disparity in strength is huge. Even without a battle plan, we can easily win by letting the soldiers directly rush into battle to kill the enemy.
!
It's like a group of wolves trying to figure out how to attack a nest of rabbits. Who would worry about being defeated by a rabbit?
The purpose of making plans and so on was just to train the new recruits' planning skills and to train generals for the empire, so the two decision-makers slept soundly at night, just waiting to complete the task and return to the fortress tomorrow;
When he woke up in the morning, Luo Xiu saw many teammates getting up with dark circles under their eyes;
"Even if you reach the level of a swordsman, you still won't be able to avoid being nervous!"
After a simple breakfast, the instructor and captain Bomi sent two soldiers to conduct reconnaissance and re-confirm the intelligence. They also began to arrange tasks according to the combat plan formulated last night and prepare fire starters;
The remaining kerosene was not retained at all. It would be a fortress after the fire was finished anyway, so there was no need to save it. It was all made into materials for burning and igniting fires. Oil bark was not difficult to get. I collected a large bundle in a few times, and each person
Just take a handful and carry it behind your back, then ride your horse and throw it into the fire;
When ready, collect all items and set off to the target location;
It took less than half an hour for the team at the top barracks to take their positions. Luo Xiu stood behind the team with the prepared kerosene in his hand, waiting for the teammates in front to clear the way. Luo Xiu could just light the fire at the right moment;
The information was very accurate, and the actual situation was better than Luo Xiu and the others thought. These orcs didn't know how to clean up. The siege equipment was surrounded by sawdust, wood strips and leftover scraps. Putting them in piles was like setting fire to them.
best choice;
"The captain has sent a signal! Pay attention, everyone! Follow me to attack!!"
"Kill!!"
"Go ahead!!"
The charge was launched, and the leading cavalry rushed into the loosely defended orc soldiers. Luo Xiu also held a fire starter and followed the team to light a fire;
The sudden attack made the orcs dumbfounded! The orc leader screamed wildly, and the orc soldiers hurriedly organized a defense, but the opponent's cavalry was fast, and the cavalry rushed into the crowd before they could resist;
Massacre! It was a completely one-sided massacre! With the well-prepared swordsman and the gale horse sitting on the level 3 monster, these ordinary orc soldiers had no power to resist!
In fact, even if Luo Xiu and the others don't do anything, they can make the orc soldiers drink a pot of water if they release the war horses! To the orc soldiers, the strength of the third-level monsters is no worse than a group of ferocious beasts;
Luo Xiu walked easily on the path of his teammates, lighting the kindling in his hand with no time left, and throwing more wood at that spot, and it burst into flames with a roar;
Then handfuls of oil tree bark were thrown into the fire, and the fire ignited instantly! It was out of control!
When Luo Xiu lit the fire, flames appeared from several other places, and soon the fires spread into one, and the siege equipment made by the orcs was burned in the fire;
Of course, after lighting the fire, the team cannot just leave like this. The opponent is not threatening, so they have to watch all the equipment burn down before they can retreat;
After lighting the fire, Luo Xiu also took off the dragon sword and joined the battle. He did not chase the fleeing orc Luo Xiu. He would only kill the orc Luo Xiu who attacked him;
Luo Xiu looked at the fire scene and refused to let the orcs put out the fire. He looked around to check the battlefield. In fact, there were no orcs to put out the fire. It was too late to escape. Who cares about putting out the fire!
--Bang!
Luo Xiu's buttocks shook, and an orc behind him flew more than ten meters away and died immediately!
Just now, the orc saw Luo Xiu riding an "unknown animal" and stayed there in shock, so he wanted to go around behind and prepare to attack Luo Xiu;
He got close smoothly! He saw that the weapon in his hand could pierce this hateful human immediately. He didn't expect that what was waiting for him was a pair of horse hooves!
Luo Xiu naturally noticed the orc behind him, but just ignored it. Although Luo Xiu had a good temper, Nai Tang's temper was not good at all! He directly kicked away the guy with malicious intentions behind his butt with a hoof;
Luo Xiu patted Nai Tang's fat head and said to himself, "General animals are afraid of fire, but this chaotic battlefield gale horse is not panicked at all! It seems that Warcraft is indeed very different from beasts, even low-level Warcraft.
!”
All siege equipment was destroyed, the signal sounded, and all members quickly retreated to the predetermined meeting point;
The battle went as smoothly as expected, the opponent had no ability to resist, and no one participating in the battle was injured. Captain Boomi counted the number of people and confirmed that no one was left behind;
"There is a lot of noise here, and the enemy troops from nearby will arrive soon, so everyone must retreat immediately!" The instructor did not forget to teach at this time;
Bo Mi and others arrived and directly ordered, "Everyone is here! Let's go!"
The horses' hoofs galloped wildly, raising a cloud of dust. The team quickly disappeared into the bushes and climbed onto the river bank. Without any obstacles, the gale horse's speed could be fully utilized. It didn't take long for the team to return to the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire;
After the mission was completed, the team was not in a hurry, so they chose to stay at a pass on the border for one night. The team from the top barracks came to the border town. As soon as the general who guarded the city heard the news, he immediately led his people out to greet him;
Luo Xiu and others accepted the awe-inspiring looks of the soldiers guarding the city, enjoyed superior treatment, and rested contentedly for a night before setting off back to the fortress;
…
There was something that surprised Luo Xiu when he returned to the fortress: merit!
After all recruits complete their first mission, the merit system will be opened, which means that the recruits have passed the recruitment stage and officially become regular members of the barracks!
By turning on the merit system, Luo Xiu can enter the inner city to find the formation books he needs! With enough merit points, Luo Xiu can exchange for potions that improve his cultivation and speed up his practice!
Chapter completed!
