Heroes of the Invincible Knight

After the orc army completely retreated, the sky was already bright, and the early sun rose high, illuminating Longyi City, which had been completely turned into a millstone of flesh and blood.

Although the orcs' night attack was repelled, the human soldiers on the city wall still did not slack off. Except for some troops who had been fighting all night resting against the city wall, half of the soldiers were still holding their swords and staring at the orcs below the city.

"Quick, quick, quick, take the corpses of these orcs, be careful, some guys are not dead, let's make up for it first."

Another group of soldiers led Min Zhuang to pack up the corpses on the city wall. The whole night of fighting caused the entire city wall to be covered with blood. In some places where the fighting was most intense, the corpses had already been spread two or three layers up, even where the feet were. It's all gone, which is quite detrimental to the defense of the city. It is necessary to keep the roads on the city wall clear.

Of course, the corpses of our own people must be carefully screened, the wounded should be treated, and the dead should be put into the body bag with written words according to the dog tag.

The orcs made up a few cuts for those who were not dead, and let the peasants strip off their weapons and armor and throw them into the big pit together if they died. Although some orc wounded were buried in the pile of dead people, they still had the ability to move, and even resisted a little when the peasants went up to move them, and injured several people. For this reason, the humans who clean up the battlefield are not welcome. Anyway, basically no prisoners are left in the war between the human race and the orcs. It is always right to make up the knife first when encountering doubts.

After a night of fierce fighting, Gru did not rest, but observed the movements of the orc camp on the city wall. Although the orc's final attack was repulsed by him, Gru's crazy performance from general to soldier still impressed him. After leaving a deep impression, Gru had to admit that in this battle he was a little bit too big, and he underestimated the fighting power of the orcs.

Although the fighting power of these orcs is not as good as the group of barbarians on the Erasia continent, what they lack is only high-end combat power, and they are not inferior to those barbarians in terms of fighting madness.

Fortunately, his strength is still superior to that of the opponent's commander, otherwise Dragon Wing City might be really tough in the face of the orc's night attack.

In the end, when Sean ran away, Gelu didn't try to pursue him. There was no qualitative difference in strength between the two. They were both sky-level masters. Even though the attacking orcs fell into a rout, the orcs in the camp were still ready. With Sean's strength, he could return to the camp shortly after jumping off the city wall. Even if Gru was superior in strength , and did not dare to rush into the camp of the orcs alone, even a master of the holy rank, if he fell into the army and did not escape in time, he might be besieged and killed.

However, in Gru's eyes, Sean is actually a dead person, it's just the difference between early death or late death.

The orc army was in short supply of food and the way back was cut off. Now they have not broken through Dragon Wing City with all their strength. Even if the strength of the army is still there, the vigor of the army has been worn down by the defenders of Dragon Wing City. It is not right to try to break through Dragon Wing City again. possible.

The only option is to retreat in the direction of Dragon Scale Fort. As long as the Dragon Scale Fort with few troops can be taken down, the passage back to the northern dense forest will be opened. The next pressure is to return from Dragon Wing City to Dragon Scale Fort.

It's just that since Gru made the tactical arrangement of closing the door and beating dogs, he naturally wouldn't let the orcs easily succeed in Dragonscale Fort. Originally attacking a small Dragonscale Fort, how could it be necessary to send almost all high-end combat power and air power? Warriors and champion knights are all fighting in Dragonscale Fort. As long as some of these forces stay in Dragon Wing City, the battle of defending the city will not be so difficult. In the end, if Gru personally defeats Sean, the three outstanding swordsmen will Can arrange the other party clearly.

Gru placed so many powerful units in Dragonscale Castle in order to completely block the way for the orc army to escape eastward and eat up the entire army of the opponent.

Dragonscale Fortress seems to have only a few thousand troops, but there are several sky-level masters and dozens of earth-level players. To break through Dragonscale Fort, the actual difficulty is not much easier than taking down Dragon Wing Fort. The remnants of the army are actually the shackles in the urn. Sean, who was seriously injured, can escape today, but he will not escape tomorrow. When the orc army runs out of food for a few days, Gelu will lead the army out of the city to slowly clean up.

"Order the army to rest in rotation, don't relax your vigilance, scout out of the city, and monitor the movements of the orc army."

"Yes, Master Gru!"

…

…

The defenders of Dragon Wing City have experienced the toughest battles. Although they are still tense, most people know that the possibility of the orcs attacking again is extremely low, and they can take a rest.

But the orc camp outside the city was gloomy. The more than 200,000 troops lost tens of thousands under the Dragon Wing City, and the battle damage was close to 30%. If it was replaced by most of the troops, this casualty rate was already a dangerous red line, but the orcs The army is the most elite imperial army, but the morale is low, and the basic army order is still maintained. If Gelug dares to lead troops out of the city to pursue, the orcs will still have the strength to fight.

In the big tent, Sean brought the orc army chiefs together to discuss the matter with his injuries. There were a few senior orc officers missing at this time. He died in the battle, and another one was chopped into a sieve for air leakage. Although he was snatched back by his subordinates, it was a question of whether he could survive the serious injury. Now he is still wrapped up like a rice dumpling and lying in the witch doctor's tent. The remaining few were all wounded, but they could still continue to fight.

The atmosphere in the big tent is still dull, and now even the ordinary soldiers know that the situation is not good, so they have not won Longyi City, and there is little hope of being able to break through Longyi City in the future, and the military rations have been out for several days It has been delivered, and the remaining rations are less than a week old, so a decision must be made.

"The main responsibility for this battle lies with me. I made a mistake in decision-making, which caused the army to suffer heavy losses. Now it is in extreme danger. If I successfully break through this time, I will personally apologize to His Majesty. Next, everyone must cheer up. We haven't lost yet."

In the end, it was Sean who broke the dull atmosphere. As the commander of this army, the battle has become like this, which has a major relationship with his greed for success and mistakes in decision-making. Sean is mainly responsible.

Sean came out first to take responsibility, which made the generals under him panic.

"It's because our offense is not good. If we say responsibility, we should also bear it."

"Yeah, how can General Sean take the responsibility alone."

"Okay! There's no need to argue about this matter. Longyi City is difficult to break through, and the army is short of food and grass. We must consider retreat."

"Lord Sean, according to intelligence, the human army stationed at Dragonscale Fort will definitely not exceed 10,000 people. We can take back Dragonscale Castle quickly."

"Yeah, there aren't many human defenders in Dragonscale Fort, maybe a partial division can take back Dragonscale Fort."

The number of defenders in Dragonscale Fort did confuse many orcs. Most of the orc officers felt that taking back Dragonscale Fort was just a matter of effort, so although the atmosphere in the big tent was dull, it was not hopeless. This was just a defeat in battle. Far from being as serious as Sean said.

However, there were still orc officers in the big tent who raised objections.

"Everyone, don't be careless. If the human army really only had that strength, Dragonscale Fortress wouldn't fall so quickly. The human army that broke through Dragonscale Fortress is weird, so be careful."

"Gris is right. We can no longer underestimate the enemy this time. We must go all out to retake Dragonscale Castle and ensure the retreat of the army."

The legion commander named Gris thought of it with Sean. Since human beings can take down the Dragonscale Fort where he has deployed a lot of troops, no matter whether the opponent's troops are weak or not, it is definitely weird and cannot be regarded as an ordinary human army. to deal with.

And he also didn't believe that the other party's commander spent so much effort to force his army to such an extent that he would leave such a flaw here.

"So, shall we start retreating?"

"Well, we don't have much food and grass, so we can't wait any longer under the Dragon Wing City. We will start retreating today. The Sixth and Seventh Legions are relatively complete. The Sixth and Seventh Legions will be the forwards of the army and take on the main attack."

"Yes, my lord!"

Two orc officers quickly stood up to take orders.

The Sixth and Seventh Legion is not the main force under Sean, and the strength of its regiment leader is also slightly weaker, only the peak strength of a great warrior.

In the previous siege battles, the Sixth and Seventh Legions were not used as the main force, but now their strength has been preserved intact, and the most elite legions have lost troops and generals in the siege battles, and their combat power has been greatly damaged. The two most elite legions The casualty rate was more than 50%, and even the regiment commander was killed. It would be difficult to restore combat power without replenishing soldiers and reorganizing officers for a period of time.

"The wolf cavalry do a good job of covering to prevent humans from chasing them."

"Yes, my lord!"

"When retreating, the Ninth and Tenth legions are at the rear. If humans pursue, the wolf cavalry will try to entangle the opponent and counterattack at any time."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Every army should prepare immediately and act quickly."

Although the morale of the orcs was a little low, their operational efficiency was still very high. After Sean gave the order, the entire camp started to move like clockwork. The parts are easy to carry, and the orc craftsmen can quickly assemble them when they arrive at the place.

At night, the resting orc army began to gradually retreat, and more than 100,000 troops held torches and formed a long dragon that could not be seen at a glance. It was endless, and it felt a little oppressive.

On the other side, the city wall of Dragon Wing City was also brightly lit. Of course, the movement in the orc camp could not be hidden from the defenders of Dragon Wing City. A large group of human soldiers stood on guard, and Gru and several officers gathered together to observe the orcs. movement.

"Master Gru, the orcs actually choose to withdraw at night, do you want to pursue them?"

"No need, the orc wolf cavalry in the rear are not easy to deal with. The orcs are not retreating, but they are prepared. If they chase at this moment, they will probably stumble."

The strength of the orcs is still there. If the human side sees the orcs retreating to pursue them, the orcs still have the power to fight back. If the human army that can kill them is defeated, they may even have a chance to seize the city again.

Even though night is not a good time to withdraw troops, it would be difficult for ordinary troops to march at night, but because of food sources, orcs have the habit of eating animal offal, there is no night blindness, and the troops led by Sean are all from the capital It is not difficult for them to march at night.

"Be vigilant, don't relax, the scouts are always watching the movements of the orc army."

"Yes, my lord."

In the end, Gru chose to close the gates of the city tightly. Although the team marching in the dark is more likely to cause chaos after being attacked, Gru has no power at this time to harass the orcs. If Taris and the champion knight are still there If so, Gru might take the initiative to attack. Now the cavalry strength in his hand can't even deal with the thousands of wolf cavalry of the orcs.

While Gru and the others watched the orc army leave, Duxien in the middle of the team also looked back at the city. The gate of Dragon Wing City was closed in the dark night. Now the smell of blood in the city can be smelled miles away.

Sighing, Sean finally ordered with a strong expression of unwillingness on his face.

"It's a pity. I ordered the Third and Fourth Legions not to hide anymore. Light up the torches and march quickly."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Sean's order was issued, tens of thousands of torches were lit up in the dark places on the two wings of the orc army, turning into two small fire dragons chasing after the long dragon.

"this…"

"Master Gelu is wise."

The human generals in the city were a little scared when they saw the torches that suddenly appeared on the two wings of the orcs. These orcs actually set up an ambush when they retreated after dark.

Gru nodded noncommittally. He didn't think too much about it, but he didn't take the risk because he thought that the ordinary soldiers of the Northern Route Army were not strong enough. If he had his own Ranger Legion, or Ella The Royal Knights of West Asia, then he doesn't care if the opponent has an ambush, if he dares to retreat under his nose, he will definitely take advantage of the night to attack and bite the opponent.

"Leave some guards and let the soldiers go back to rest."

"Tomorrow, all the knights in the Northern Route Army that can be transferred will be gathered together, so that the First Banner Regiment can take a good rest and be ready to go out at any time."

"Yes, Master Gru!"

Gru wasn't ready to wait for the orcs to starve to death, he still wanted experience, and starved orcs didn't have experience...
