No matter how careful the plan is, unforeseen accidents will happen. At this moment, just as the large army is entering the trenches and preparing to ambush the greenskin vanguard, Ranger Lawrence delivers terrible intelligence...
"Spiders are everywhere, Spider Riders, we've been spotted, my lord."
Lawrence ran back with a long bow on his back, panting and reporting the results of his investigation.
Rhodes felt confused for a while. How did the greenskins discover him? They should have all surrounded the Watchfort City when the war started. There should not be other troops wandering around the periphery. But now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.
For the sake of conservatism, Rhodes could only order the main force to abandon the original plan and implement the second plan. This was the first, second and third plans they had planned before. Whichever plan had an accident, there would be no danger.
There are remedial measures. Make thorough plans so that you won't be in a hurry when the time comes.
Under the bright starry sky, the large army continued to retreat. At the same time, in order to prevent the greenskins from catching up too fast, Rhodes ordered Fearlen Bell's cavalry troops to retreat to harass the greenskins and hinder their march.
Finally, when morning came, they left the forest. The traps they dug were undoubtedly in vain. The forest goblin knew the existence of the traps and told Ironhide the information in advance...
But there is still a chance. According to the situation reported by the scouts, the greenskin army has been divided into several small troops after a long pursuit. Rhodes' plan has not been completely disrupted.
The large army is exhausted, but everyone knows that no matter how difficult it is at this time, we must persevere, otherwise, once the iron army catches up, all previous efforts will be wasted. They are sparse in number and have uneven equipment, so they are not a force that can compete with the iron army.
The regular army in a decisive battle. On the contrary, the troops gathered under Rhodes at this moment are just a small part of the northern border. The temporarily organized army has no capital to confront Ironhide.
Rhodes knew this very well, and so did everyone. Therefore, they must continue on their way. For Kislev, for the future of the North, and more importantly, for survival...
…
Two days later, they led the greenskin army to the Gray Land. This is a hilly place. The undulating hilly terrain is like the endless waves of the Sea of Claws, one after another. At the same time, compared to the plains,
The terrain here is more suitable for an ambush. According to the ranger's reconnaissance information, the greenskins have divided into several waves and are chasing them. If possible, the troops will launch a counterattack here.
After observing the nearby terrain, Rhodes ordered the large troops to camp on the spot without lighting fires. Fortifications were built along the largest valley. A whole row of fences and trenches were built along the ridge, forming a recessed pocket array.
The outermost perimeter is a simple fence made of sharpened wooden stakes, and the inner circle is a trench, filled with even sharper wooden stakes, staggered together like canine teeth. Behind the trench, there is a low earth wall, where soldiers
Here we will face the crazy orc army. Of course, this time it is no longer a large army. After being divided into several sections, the green skin's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
The next thing to do is to lure. If you encounter troops of other races, it is not so easy to be fooled. Then, this problem is not a problem at all for the green skins. As long as there are opponents and battles to fight, they will run away
Faster than anyone else. Maybe some smarter goblins will see that this is a trap, but talking about tactics and strategies with them in front of a group of enthusiastic orcs is simply ridiculous. Because no one will listen to your explanation of this or that.
.
Look! The enemy is there. This is the intuitive reaction of every orc.
Rhodes knew that the number of enemies was uncountable, and as long as Ironhide was still there, greenskins would continue to come from all over the world. As long as Ironhide was still there, the greenskins would have targets to follow. He wanted them to return to their homeland.
In the primitive barbaric state of cannibalism, the only option is to kill their leader. But killing Ironhide is even more difficult.
The warrior couldn't get close to him, and if he got close to the iron sheet, he would be cut into pieces... The wizard couldn't hurt him either, because the heaven-defying blood-cast armor was almost immune to all magic damage. Rhodes thought about the armor covered with iron sheet.
If he wants to use magic to harm him, I am afraid that only the Snow Queen in Kislev can do it. However, they have never fought before, so they are not sure.
…
At the end of autumn, under the clear sky in the north, a group of Ugor cavalry were running in the wilderness. Not far behind them were a large number of vicious greenskin troops. Orc warriors rode wild boars and charged wildly. However, no matter what,
No matter how they catch up, they just can't catch up with the speed of the human cavalry. The wolf knights are even more powerless. Even if they catch up, it will be of no avail. The rain of arrows shot by the human riders will engulf them.
There was no bloodthirsty roar, no collision of steel, everything was slowly consumed in such a silent chase. The orcs began to feel irritable, extremely irritable. That day, outside the Watch Castle, they saw the man among the humans.
He is like a god of war. However, he has been chasing for days with no results.
Kill the white bear, kill the man riding on the back of the white bear! This is the slogan that every orc shouts.
Come out, come out and duel like a real warrior. - The orcs are shouting, but what they get is endless silence. The wind in the north is getting fiercer day by day, and winter is coming. In the north, the long winter
It can last for half a year. Sometimes there is no sunlight for several weeks... not a single blade of grass grows on the ground...
The greenskins chased angrily and tiredly. Finally, they chased the Ugor cavalry who were running and shooting into a roadless valley. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the only entrance had been blocked by the greenskins.
The leading green-skinned orc laughed ferociously. He pulled out the machete he was wearing and let out a wild beast-like roar. The green-skinned orc behind him also screamed excitedly, as if to say - little boy, you can't run away.
?
However, just when all the orcs and goblins were cheering, thinking that they could finally kill these annoying shrimps, a burst of dense dark clouds floated over the valley. There was a loud thunder, and the sky seemed to be covered by a pair of invisible hands, and the sky was darkened instantly.
Waves of thunder rolled in the clouds, like the roar of a giant bear one after another. On the high peaks, rows of northern soldiers appeared. Eighteen Blackhammer Bear Knights rode fierce war bears.
They appeared one after another. Behind them was Rodlawn, the high lord of Blackhammer Castle, fully armed and wearing a manticore cape.
The orc infantry below were confused. All the greenskins looked at this scene in surprise. They had worked hard to chase this human army thousands of miles away, hoping to chop off their leader's head to prove that they were the best at fighting.
Greenskin. But now, that man is right in front of them, but no greenskin dares to say that he is sure to kill him...
