Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 629 Unable to retreat

Retreat is a matter that best reflects the level of the commander and the quality of the army. Being able to fight with the wind is the minimum requirement for the commander and the army. Most armies will be in chaos when they retreat. disaster.

And if the retreat can be arranged in an orderly manner, the commander must be an excellent commander, and the army under his command must be an elite division.

It just so happened that the orc commander Gero was an excellent commander, and the orc army under him was also an absolutely elite division.

When attacking, the orc army prepared a retreat plan. The hundreds of thousands of orc army who attacked in the front did not evacuate across the board like a tide, but performed their own duties. They should continue to stay vigilant and take precautions to occupy key points of defense and cover. possible attack.

Those who should evacuate broke away from contact with the human army as quickly as possible, and even set up several traps on the road, waiting for the chasing humans to come up and fight back.

Fortunately, Catherine, the commander-in-chief of the Northland army, was not easy to get along with. She didn't send a team to chase after him, but let Mrak lead the cavalry to hang behind the orc army to look for opportunities.

Patriarch Bailong's injury was a bit serious. After Natalis entered the holy rank, new characteristics appeared in her fighting spirit. Not only did she leave Patriarch Bailong with a few deep wounds, but the fighting spirit of death still remained in the opponent's wounds. On the other hand, Patriarch Bailong's injury has not improved.

However, after some friendly exchanges with Adrilo, the White Dragon still dispatched the rest of its forces to cover the retreat of the orc army. Adrilo was afraid of the god-killing ring that humans might have, but he trained the White Dragon to be obedient. .

Dozens of white dragons are not going to fight the air forces of the Northland. After all, the facts have proved that they are no longer opponents. Accepted the cover of the ground orc army.

After all, the air corps in the Northland are still afraid of the hundreds of dragon hunting crossbows on the ground and more powerful giant crossbows. It is impossible to fight the white dragon in the sky with the long-range support of the orcs.

The 400,000 orc army in the middle retreated in an orderly manner, and Sir Mrak led the cavalry around for a long time without finding any chance.

However, when the armies on the two wings merged with the army in the middle, they encountered some troubles.

In addition to the main force of the dragon army on the left, Gelug also has a large number of system soldiers. Of the twenty giants, only four were injured by the orc's crossbow and are still recuperating. The rest still maintain complete combat effectiveness and have a huge advantage. How could Gru let the orc army retreat easily.

As soon as the orcs retreated, Gru commanded the army to stick to it. Nearly a hundred Scarlet Crusaders were also not vegetarians. Compared with giants, they were more powerful and possessed a sharper sense of battlefield. Under the leadership of Ron, They forcibly rounded back to the middle of the right-wing orc army, and cut off a section of the orc like a sharp knife. More than a hundred people blocked the retreat of the tens of thousands of orc army, and cut off a section of the orc army's tail.

In the end, only about 100,000 orcs on the left managed to withdraw, and half of them were left on the battlefield by Gru.

As for the undead army on the other side, the orcs were even more difficult to get rid of. The undead army chased and killed them all the way, and the death knights and bone dragons repeatedly attacked.

When there was a strong stronghold as a barrier, a huge crossbow was set up on the camp, and there were a large number of horses and pits to block it. The death knights, skeleton cavalry, and bone dragons were somewhat scrupulous.

After all, Sandro treasured the few high-level undead units in his hands. When he could use cannon fodder, he would not use the high-level undead units in his hand to storm the stronghold.

But after the orcs broke away from the protection of the camp fortifications, the high-level undead units played a greater role.

The death knight led a large group of skeleton cavalry to complete a large roundabout and outflank, blocking the way of the orcs, making the orcs' broken army meaningless, and the low-level undead in the rear continued to pursue them.

The skeleton cavalry didn't have the slightest fear in their hearts, and they were not afraid of loss at all. When they gathered together, they dared to directly charge into the orc phalanx composed of heavy infantry.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry could not rush if they did not attack the infantry in an orderly formation. Even if the light cavalry charged at a speed of seventy or eighty yards, the huge impact force could easily overturn the heavy infantry in the front row.

It's because cavalry is also human, and they don't want to die, and they can be exchanged for cavalry for infantry. If they are qualified cavalry, even heavy infantry will be a loss.

So if it is not forced, the light cavalry is more willing to repeatedly pull with the infantry, find the infantry's flaws in the pull, and launch a fatal blow. This process generally depends on the patience of both parties and the situation of the entire battlefield.

But the skeleton cavalry has no such worries in it. As long as the time is right, they can attack the orcs in line at any time. Every step of the retreat of the right-wing orc army had to leave a lot of materials for Sandro.

If Gero hadn't made arrangements in advance and sent an army to respond, all the orc army on the right might have been left behind.

Even so, the orc army on the right also suffered heavy losses during the retreat. It took three days to retreat not far away, leaving more than 100,000 corpses in embarrassment before successfully joining the main army in the middle.

When the three armies of orcs converged, the originally mighty army now counted less than 800,000 centaur warriors, and the battle damage was close to one-third. It was a bit reluctant to say that the main force was still alive, at most Still have the power to fight.

At this time, the orc army is not completely hopeless, the orc army is far more than this number, three to four hundred thousand orcs can still bear the casualties, the entire orc kingdom has been armed with more than five million orcs young and strong, and has expanded The scope of the recruitment has been exceeded, and the orc army is continuously entering the central plain through the Dragon's Breath Pass. Gero only needs to retreat temporarily, and he can gather more troops in half a month at most.

However, Li Cha did not intend to let the orcs go easily, his goal has not changed at all, what he wants is to wipe out this orc army...

"Lord Great Shaman, all the human armies have converged, but they have been following us, and the vanguard has not left us for more than ten miles."

The orc army had been retreating south for two days, and they were camping and resting in a large open area at this time. The scouts in charge of the investigation came to Gero unimpeded all the way and reported the movement of the human army to him.

"What do humans mean by this? The chase doesn't look like a chase. What's the point of following us after gathering the army?"

Although the Northland army also suffered a lot of losses in the battle, because there were many corpses on the battlefield that the orcs hadn't destroyed in time, the number of the undead army did not increase but decreased. The number has exceeded 300,000. Reaching twenty respectively, there are thousands of black warriors, both in quantity and quality are not the same as before. This force has almost reached the limit of Sandro and Aisha's control.

After the reunion of the Undead Legion and the Northland Army, a total of 800,000 troops followed the orcs. Even if the orcs retreated in an orderly manner, they were a little embarrassed.

After all, they had seen the fighting power of this northern army before, and it was much stronger than the regular army of the Golden Dragon Kingdom. If they really wanted to fight a direct battle, they had no confidence at all.

In the big tent, the orc executives were a little confused about the movement of the Northland army. If the other side wanted to keep him, they should intercept it directly.

The orcs even made preparations. If the human armies on the two wings wanted to forcibly intercept them, they could concentrate their forces and take advantage of the opportunity that the human army was divided into three out-of-links to seize one of them and launch a beautiful counterattack.

But the human army didn't give them any chance. The two wings retracted after chasing a certain distance, and they stopped chasing and waited for the army in the middle to converge before continuing to follow the orc army.

Of course, the assembled human army orcs would not collide. Seeing that the human army was careful not to give them a chance, they could only give up their cautious thinking and retreat seriously.

But now the human army has been following him and has not come up to pursue him. What the human beings want to do is a question that neither Gero, Adrilo, nor the orc generals can figure out.

"How far are we from Burke City?"

Because he couldn't figure out the significance of the actions of the Northern Army, Gero felt a little uneasy. After all, the actions of an army of hundreds of thousands should have a purpose, and the unknown is even more disturbing.

"Your Excellency the great shaman, if we follow this speed, we will be able to arrive at Burke City in about five days, and at most two days, the reinforcements from Burke City should be able to join us."

The orc army was not completely unprepared when it went north, and Burke City was a fulcrum on the way the orcs retreated south.

A city with a low presence on the central plain, but a large scale, faced with the attack of the orcs, Burke City, which had no defenders, surrendered without holding on for two days.

All the supplies piled up in the city belonged to the orcs, some nobles escaped from the siege, some stayed and surrendered to the orcs and became traitors, and most of the civilians were driven out of their houses and became slave labor for the orc army.

This originally inconspicuous city gathered an army of more than 300,000 orcs. The orc army that didn't keep up with Gero's army at the beginning and the orc army who came later all gathered in Burke City to manage the back road for Gero.

As long as Gero led his troops to the vicinity of Burke City, the Northland army would not dare to continue to attack, not only because the orc army had a strong city as a fulcrum, but also because it was difficult for the Northland army to wait for the arrival of humans after they penetrated into the Central Plains. The reinforcements, on the other hand, will be immediately surrounded by orcs who are continuously supporting them.

When Gero heard that Burke City was only five miles away, he suppressed his uneasiness a little bit. No matter what the meaning of the human army following behind not far or near, as long as he arrived in Burke City, he would be safe.

"Don't worry about the troops who have been sent by Burke City, and maintain good physical strength and condition when marching."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Shaman!"

The messenger soldiers left the camp quickly, and Gero turned his gaze back to the map, trying to figure out the intentions of the humans.

Then he seemed to think of something, turned around and gave instructions to the general beside him.

"Let the troops pack up the big camp tonight, and don't give humans a chance to sneak attack."

"Yes, my lord!"

When he arrived here, he was surrounded by endless plains, and he could not even see any forests or gentle slopes. Gro thought for a long time, but he didn't think why he was uneasy, so he could only order his subordinates to be vigilant.

On the other side, the Human Northland Army, which had been following the orc army from afar, also stopped marching. When the sky just darkened, many senior officers including Richard and Catherine gathered in the big tent to make key deployments.

"My lord, the orc army has stopped and camped at the reserved location."

"As far as the eye can see, there is no obstacle at all. During the day, you can even directly see the orc camp. It is a suitable place for annihilation battle."

"My lord, do you want to think about it again? In fact, we don't need this kind of method, and it's okay to let them go. The orc army is not invincible, and there should be two holy masters in the domain. "

"No, if you miss this time, you won't have such a good chance to defeat the orcs in one fell swoop. You must keep them."

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing that Li Cha was resolute, Catherine stopped persuading him, but stood aside like a few heroes and waited for something.

I saw a small shackle suddenly appeared in Li Cha's hand. It was a miniature version, but it looked extremely delicate. Looking carefully, it seemed that there was an inexplicable force circulating in it.

Treasure: Shackles of War

Effect: Special treasure, effective for all hostile targets within the designated range. If the user is alive, the targets within the designated range must fight to the last moment.

Introduction: A very special treasure. Under the watchful eyes of Yasha and Namtaru, both sides have no way to escape. The battle must end with the death of one side. Please fight until the last moment.

This is the treasure Li Cha bought in a certain month's new product...

"If you want to leave, that's up to you."

"Let me see how much the rules of Heroes Invincible World can affect this world."

After all, Li Cha flew directly into the air and looked in the direction of the orc camp. Although it was getting late, it had little effect on Li Cha. He could clearly see the position of the orc camp. After confirming, I immediately used the treasure in my hand...
