Chapter 357: Examining the Corpse
The retreat of the orc army was an expected situation. In this battle, it was impossible to say who would win and who would lose. Luo Ji, Zhao Pan and other generals clearly understood this in their hearts.
But the soldiers didn't understand. When the soldiers saw the retreat of the orcs, they thought they had won, and they cheered and celebrated one by one.
In this regard, Luo Ji and others did not say anything. It is a good thing to be able to improve morale. There is no need to worry about this trivial matter. The focus is on what Li Yuanjie will do next.
Whether the other party was misled by them, and then chose to stay and continue to storm Shangyuan City, became the focus of Luo Ji's entire plan.
Just in case, Luo Ji decisively dispatched a team of scouts, motioning them to use the ladder to leave the city at the other end, and quietly follow to confirm the situation.
If the other party intends to retreat, at that critical moment, the scouts may be able to interrupt, and the timing of Li Yuanjie's retreat may be destroyed.
Of course, before the scouts set off, considering the beasts' keen sense of smell like beasts, Luo Ji must have warned him several times.
Let the scouts be careful, treat those orcs like beasts with a keen sense of smell, not only to guard against the eyes and ears on the opposite side, but also on the opposite nose, don't relax.
After one thing was ordered, Luo Ji used the binoculars to confirm twice that the other party had really retreated, and then ordered the soldiers to carry the sand and prepare to put out the fire outside the city.
The temperature of the fire ignited by this kerosene is quite astonishing. Before, several boulders thrown by the slingers on the opposite side had already smashed several pits on the wall. After that, repairing the city walls of Shangyuan City is estimated to be another major project. The head of the construction engineering department may have to vomit blood again.
After extinguishing the fire with sand, cleaning the battlefield is naturally a top priority. The arrows and heavy crossbow arrows shot before are all recyclable, so try to recycle them as much as possible. Although they are consumables, they cannot really be used as disposable items.
But this time, the focus of Luo Ji and the others was obviously not on the recovered arrows and heavy crossbow bolts...
The generals and soldiers in the city let out an exclamation when they looked at the orc corpse that was laboriously carried in by several soldiers. Seeing these orcs who looked very different from them at such a close distance, for everyone, Undoubtedly it was another feeling, even Zhao Pan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, no one acted rashly. Everyone still harbored a bit of dread about these unfamiliar creatures. Instead, it was Luo Ji, who was more interested in it than dreading it.
This is an orc. For a modern man like him, it only exists in fantasy and video games. It must be false to say that he has no curiosity in his heart.
With a sense of curiosity, Luo Ji's eyes quickly shifted to the corpse of a kobold. This corpse was apparently killed by several arrows, dripping with blood.
After motioning for a soldier to bring a bucket of clean water and simply wash off the blood on the corpse, Luo Ji finally got a clear view of the kobold's true appearance.
To be honest, it's not quite the same as the image of the kobold that he made up in his brain. If he had to say it, it was uglier than he expected. The whole face was wrinkled. From the appearance, it looked a bit like a Shar Pei. Wearing a huge nose, two obvious fangs were turned out from the lower lip, which can be said to be quite hideous.
Luo Ji stretched out his hand and rubbed the kobold's skin. It felt extremely rough, but it was also quite tough. Unlike humans, for a kobold, its natural skin alone was equivalent to a layer of leather armor!
Realizing this, Luo Ji felt a tinge of pressure in his heart, "Fuck! Fighting head-on with such orcs, humans are too disadvantaged in terms of physique, and decisively must rely on equipment and cooperation, otherwise they can only rely on The number of people to pile..."
The last solution was undoubtedly the last thing Luo Ji wanted to see. His current military strength in civilization had reached a certain limit.
Although he has made up his mind, even if he has to pay a certain price, he will definitely swallow this orc civilization in one bite, but the loss of troops can still be reduced as much as possible.
After confirming the kobold's appearance, Luo Ji's gaze turned to the tauren next to him. The tauren's appearance was basically the same as his brain, and he was undoubtedly stronger than the kobold in terms of physique. Having fought, he has also been able to clearly feel that this is a unit that can resist and fight.
The physical strength of the orcs is really far beyond his imagination, which makes his mood become dignified invisibly. In this battle, he may have to pay a big price.
I didn't stay here long, and after confirming the situation of these orc corpses, Luo Ji turned around and went back to the barracks. He had to think carefully about the countermeasures.
As soon as Luo Ji left, the soldiers who had been around for a long time naturally gathered together, and a discussion started quickly...
"This tauren's horns are real!"
"Nonsense, it's said to be a tauren. Look at this head, it looks similar to the old black cow in the fields."
"How strong is the old black bull in the field? This bull has the same strength as the old black bull?"
"Maybe bigger than the old black bull." After speaking, the soldier glanced at the exaggerated muscles of the tauren subconsciously, and he knew how powerful he was just by looking at it.
The soldiers were talking about several unfamiliar orc corpses. What they felt was novelty, but what the generals felt was pressure.
There is no doubt that Zhao Pan and the others went together with Luo Ji, and without further ado, a group of people walked towards the battle meeting room in the direction of the military camp.
As soon as they entered the battle meeting room, everyone immediately discovered that Luo Ji was already sitting there in front of the huge tactical sand table, and all the generals felt ashamed for a while.
But Luo Ji didn't think too much about it. After seeing Zhao Pan and the others walking in, he asked casually, "What do you think?"
The crowd did not dare to neglect, and they quickly shared their thoughts and analysis. After listening, Luo Ji nodded repeatedly. After all, he was someone who could be named a general by him. Naturally, he could not be a mediocre person. He basically thought about it. .
"Tomorrow at the earliest, no more than two to three days at the latest, the orc army will definitely attack again. Before that, we have to quickly think about the strategy for dealing with this army..."
