The retreat of the orc army was an expected situation. There was no way to say who would win or lose in this battle. Luo Ji, Zhao Pan and other generals obviously understood this in their hearts.

But the soldiers didn't understand. When they saw the orc army retreating, they just thought they had won, and they all cheered and celebrated.

In this regard, Luo Ji and others did not say anything. It was a good thing to improve morale. There was no need to dwell on this trivial matter. The key point was what Li Yuanjie would do next.

Whether the opponent was misled by them and chose to stay and continue to storm Shangyuan City became the focus of Luo Ji's next plan.

Just in case, Luo Ji decisively sent out a team of scouts, telling them to use the ladder to leave the city from the other side and follow them quietly to confirm the situation.

If the other party planned to retreat, the scouts might be able to interrupt at the critical moment, which might destroy Li Yuanjie's opportunity to retreat.

Of course, before the scouts set off, Luo Ji would have given them a few warnings, considering the orcs' keen sense of smell like wild beasts.

Let the scouts be careful and treat the orcs as beasts with a keen sense of smell. They must not only guard the eyes and ears of the opponent, but also the nose of the opponent. Never let their guard down.

After being told one thing, Luo Ji used his binoculars to confirm twice that the enemy had really retreated, and then ordered the soldiers to move sand and prepare to put out the fire outside the city.

The temperature of the fire lit by this kerosene is quite astonishing. The few huge boulders thrown by the elephant slingers had already made several holes in the wall. Now that it is burning like this, the battle will be over.

After that, repairing the city wall of Shangyuan City is probably another big project. The director of the Construction Engineering Department may have to vomit blood again.

After extinguishing the fire with sand and soil, cleaning the battlefield is naturally a top priority. The arrows and heavy crossbow arrows shot previously should be recycled as much as possible. Although they are consumables, they cannot be used as disposable items.

But this time, the focus of Luo Ji and others' attention was obviously not on the recovered arrows and heavy crossbow bolts...

Looking at the orc corpses that were laboriously carried in by several soldiers, the generals and soldiers in the city exclaimed in surprise. Seeing these orcs who looked very different from them at such a close distance, for everyone,

It was undoubtedly a different feeling, and even Zhao Pan couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

However, no one acted rashly. For these strange creatures, everyone still had some fear in their hearts. Luo Ji, on the other hand, was more interested than fearful.

This is an orc. For a modern man like him, it only exists in fantasy and film and television games. It would be a lie 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 had obviously been killed by several arrows and was covered in blood.

After signaling to a soldier to bring a bucket of water and simply wash away the blood on the corpse, Luo Ji finally saw clearly the true appearance of the kobold.

To be honest, it was different from the image of the kobold he had imagined. If I 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.

It has a huge nose and two obvious fangs protruding from its lower lip, which can be said to be quite ferocious.

Luo Ji stretched out his hand and rubbed the kobold's skin. It felt unusually rough, but it was also quite tough. Unlike humans, for a kobold, its natural skin alone was equivalent to a layer of leather armor!

Luo Ji, who realized this, felt a trace of pressure arise in his heart, "Damn! Human beings would suffer too much in terms of physical fitness to fight head-on with this kind of orcs. Decisiveness must rely on equipment and cooperation, otherwise it can only rely on

The number of people goes up..."

The last solution was undoubtedly what Luo Ji didn't want to see. His current military strength in the civilization had reached a limit. It didn't mean that he couldn't recruit troops or that he couldn't raise troops, but that he couldn't recruit them.

Although he has made up his mind that even if he has to pay a certain price, he will definitely devour this orc civilization in one go, but the loss of troops should be reduced as much as possible.

After confirming the appearance of the kobold, Luo Ji's eyes turned to the tauren next to him. The appearance of this tauren was basically similar to what he had imagined. In terms of physique, he was undoubtedly stronger than the kobold, even if he hadn't seen it in person yet.

After fighting, he can already clearly feel that this is a unit that can resist and fight.

The physical strength of the orc soldiers was far beyond his imagination, which made his mood become tense invisibly. He might have to pay a heavy price for this battle.

Without staying here longer, Luo Ji turned around and returned to the military camp after confirming the condition of the orc corpses. He had to think about countermeasures.

As soon as Luo Ji left, the soldiers who had been surrounding him naturally gathered together, and a discussion quickly started...

"The horns of this tauren are real!"

"Nonsense, they say it's a minotaur. Look at this head, it looks similar to the old black bull plowing in the fields."

"How strong is the old black bull in the field? Is this minotaur as strong as the old black bull?"

"Maybe bigger than the old black bull." After saying that, the soldier subconsciously glanced at the exaggerated muscles of the minotaur. Just by looking at it, he knew how powerful it was.

The soldiers were all talking about the strange orc corpses. What they felt was the novelty, but what the generals felt was pressure.

There is no doubt that Zhao Pan and the others went there together with Luo Ji, and there was no need to say anything else. The group of people walked towards the combat conference room in the direction of the military camp in a tacit understanding.

As soon as they entered the combat conference room, everyone immediately discovered that Luo Ji was already sitting there in front of the huge tactical sandbox. For a moment, all the generals felt ashamed.

But Luo Ji didn't think much about it. When he saw Zhao Pan and the others walking in, he casually asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone did not dare to neglect and hurriedly expressed their thoughts and analysis. After hearing this, Luo Ji nodded repeatedly. After all, he was a person who could be named a general by him. Naturally, he could not be a mediocre person. He basically thought about it with him.

.

"Tomorrow at the earliest and no later than two to three days at the latest, the orc army will definitely attack again. Before then, we have to quickly think of a strategy to deal with this army..."
