Chapter 570: Storm is coming

General Li did not take advantage of the high spirits of the crowd to continue to attack the orcs. Although everyone is now smashed, it is only a temporary morale.
His purpose is to cheer them up. After all, there will be battles later. If everyone's morale is low, then there is no need to fight, and they will just roll up the bedding.
When there is no absolute certainty, he will no longer easily send people to fight. Otherwise, if you lose again, the belief that you have finally built up may fall apart, and even if he is a military god, he may not have the power to recover.
In fact, General Li had already guessed that things were not so simple. He also expected that the heavy cavalry would lose, so he had already prepared the shield soldiers to respond in advance. He just didn't expect that the two thousand heavy cavalry would be defeated miserably, and the defeat was so fast that he felt a little caught off guard.
There was nothing wrong with what Niu Fu did. The biggest mistake was to choose a frontal charge without a clear path.
The heavy cavalry was originally meant to charge. Only the heavy cavalry regiment with the highest speed can have deterrence. The heavy cavalry without speed can only be a living target for being killed.
It stands to reason that the orcs should take advantage of the victory now, because this is the best time, as long as the morale of the human race is completely wiped out in one effort, the human soldier will be no different from the lamb to be slaughtered.
But the orcs did not change the slightest, as if nothing had happened before. Even the centaur strong archer who had just fought changed shifts, which seemed to be just to prevent the human race from continuing to attack.
In fact, General Li had arranged his guards to prepare for battle. These guards were his direct line of troops, with strong combat effectiveness, and the lowest ranks were all black iron fighters.
With a strong teamwork ability of the Guards, the Black Iron Warriors can also display the strength comparable to ordinary Silver Warriors.
Of course, there is a gap with the real silver warrior, but it is easy to deal with the soldiers of the black iron warrior level. Unless the orcs attack in an all-round way, it will only start a small-scale local war, which will only increase casualties.
Although the orcs are born fighters, most of the bottom-level fighters are only bronze or brass, but relying on racial superiority, they are better than humans of the same level in certain aspects.
The orcs did not seize the opportunity to attack General Li somewhat unexpectedly. This Dragon Commander did not seem to be a simple character, but he knew the truth behind the poor.
Since the orcs had no plans to attack, he was also happy, and simply took those carefully selected scouts to check the traces of the battle left last night.
Although Yan Ling was injured, he joined in after simply treating the wound. After all, this is not a battle. What is needed is not a strong and healthy body, but meticulous insight, rich experience, and the ability to analyze things.
"Captain, depending on the situation, the ambush they encountered should come from underground?" After carefully observing the traces on the scene, a scout said firmly.
The other scouts also nodded. Judging from the traces of the scene, it is very likely that the ten people yesterday were ambushed by the orcs at their feet.
Now it was only based on the traces found that it was indeed the result, but Yan Ling always felt something was wrong.
If it makes sense to say that one or two people were ambushed by underground orcs, but this is a total of ten people. Even if the orcs emerge from the underground, it takes time? The noise caused by this period of time is definitely not small.
"Yan Ling, what do you think?" After checking these traces, General Li looked at Yan Ling.
"I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong. Only three places look like the first scene, and the other seven don't look like the first scene, but there is really no other first scene. Traces of the scene." Yan Ling thought for a while, frowning and said.
"Your observation is still very detailed, but in fact only two sites are the first scene, and the other eight are not. You come with me." General Li smiled slightly, and walked first, Yan Ling and the others followed. Rear.
Several scouts were very puzzled. They didn't find any problems at all. They all thought they found the first scene.
"This place should be the place you think is the first scene, right?" General Li led a group to a place with traces of battle.
"Isn't it? This should be the place where you were ambushed? One blow to the enemy, leaving almost no trace. If you don't pay more attention, it is likely to be missed." Looking at the grass with almost no trace, Yan Ling found no signs of fraud.
Yan Ling always felt that there were seven places where there were signs of fierce fighting. If such fierce fighting really happened, the sentry could not have found anomalies.
However, those battle traces looked so real that one had to believe it, and several burrows that could accommodate people were found nearby, which confirmed the authenticity of being ambushed.
"This place is indeed very similar to the other two traces, but you think about it. In the dark night, you quietly peeped at the enemy camp. What kind of action would you be?"
"I will lie on the ground, or squat on the ground, and use the binoculars to view the enemy camp." Yan Ling said, taking a pose.
Yan Ling took out the binoculars, first squatted on the ground, walked slowly, trying to find a suitable position, and then squatted forward, moving forward by the way, adjusting the angle. When he adjusted his angle and stood up, the grass below him left some marks.
When he saw the traces he had left and the original traces here, he suddenly realized. Because the direction where the grass fell down was not towards the Orcs, but towards the Humans.
This shows that either someone is lying down facing the human race, or the scout is sitting cross-legged on the ground to observe the orc race.
His own soldiers knew very well that there would never be anyone sitting here cross-legged and observing. They must be cautious, trying their best to narrow their body space to prevent them from being discovered by the enemy.
In this way, there is only one possibility. This should not be the first scene, even if it is the first scene, it is also the first scene that has been disguised.
"Why are they doing this?" Yan Ling was puzzled. This is simply a matter of taking off his pants and farting. People are taken away, even if the first scene is discovered?
The corner of General Li's mouth raised, showing a sneer, "In order to mislead us, and at the same time cover up the real killer."
"Misleading us, concealing the killer?" Yan Ling looked at General Li suspiciously.
"The Orcs have a race known as an invisible killer. Surely you should have heard of it?"
"Are you talking about the chameleon? So, all of this is done by the chameleon? Isn't the underground caves hidden in the ground meaningless?"
"I said it to cover up and mislead. The reason why they tried so hard was to make us think they were using a hole in the ground."
"What's the point of doing this? Let us focus on the underground to prevent them from sneaking underground? Then they won't have the opportunity to sneak attack from the underground?" Yan Ling frowned, the contradictory conclusions made him feel a little for a while. Not mindful.
"If it were you, leaving so many holes in the ground that are easy to find, would you still attack from the ground?"
"Normal under normal circumstances, but if it is when the two armies are facing each other and the two sides are stuck together, or after a surprise attack, cooperate with the large forces to launch a general offensive. In this case, even if there is danger, try it."
"Yes, but now is neither the time for surprise attacks nor the time for a battle, so there won't be such a situation for the time being, otherwise it will only be to die."
"If they don’t sneak attacks from the ground, are they still going to send chameleon fighters to steal camps from the ground? That’s not realistic at all. Chameleon fighters are okay to sneak attacking people. There is no difference between attacking the camp and sending them to death. If they dare to come, I Let them come back and forth!" Yan Ling showed a fierce look, and his tone was quite grieving.
"Of course they will not send chameleons to attack the camp, but it should not be calm tonight."
"What about the unrest? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Are we still afraid that the orcs will fail?" Yan Ling clenched his right fist and stared at the orcs' camp.
"Night is not an advantage for us humans, and they are not only frontal battlefields, presumably they are trying to advance behind us!" General Li glanced at the vast grassland behind him, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Advancing behind? Are you saying that their cave is just a cover, and the real killer is behind us? They want to attack us back when they are attacking frontally, and let us suffer from the enemy's self-conflict?" Yan Ling suddenly realized.
"That's not right! The number of them would have been much smaller than ours. Wouldn't it be a bit risky if we divide the troops again? Even if we are defeated, they will have an advantage at all!"
"That's why you choose night! If you suddenly find that there are battle flags that cover the sky and the sun when the number of enemy troops is unknown, will you panic?"
"This..." Yan Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. Now he understood what General Li meant and could guess the intention of the orc.
"Tonight is probably a sleepless night!" General Li looked at the sky in the distance and said meaningfully.
A strong wind blew on the desperate prairie, and the half-human grass swayed with the wind. The clouds in the distance are as dark as ink, and there are even flashes of electric light occasionally. The depressed air makes people feel a little irritable...
