The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 618 Xu Lai's Trap
It must be said that Kenlo Hag's wolf cavalry is indeed quite good.
These wolf cavalry are active in their own city areas, and officials from all over the country will promptly send the dynamics of the wolf cavalry to Jimmy or Xu Lai.
In addition, in addition to Elvy who stayed in the Stone City, several Pegasus Knights and Pegasus Knights were also helping Xu Lai with aerial reconnaissance.
There were thousands of knights led by Xu Lai chasing behind them. These wolf cavalry were not only not caught by Xu Lai, but also looted several villages one after another.
Xu Lai did give an order, but once the order was conveyed to the city lords, it might not be 100% executed.
After all, Xu Lai issued a city closure order, which would have a great impact on every city.
Not all cities have enough food reserves. This is an era when food is worthless, and no one is willing to fill warehouses with worthless food.
Especially those cities that Xu Lai conquered in the later period, it was too late to stockpile food. If they really had to be completely closed, they might starve to death first.
Secondly, Xu Lai occupied these cities for too short a time. Even if he sent officials, he had used weapons to deter them before.
But in the end, the governance of the city still depends on the locals, who own a large number of manors, farmlands, and pastures outside the city.
Xu Lai issued an order and the city was closed, but these people had to be willing to give up these interests.
Finally, there were the civilians and herdsmen, who were either attached to their homeland or worried that their land and pastures would be occupied by the orcs.
Faced with such news, Xu Lai was angry, but he had no way to change the situation.
The only thing he could do was to let Jimmy send all these notices down, hoping to alert officials in other cities.
But they could get food supplements from time to time, so that these wolf cavalry could always move in their rear.
Closing the city and suspending supplies was also a double-edged sword for Xu Lai.
Once it lasted too long and there was not enough food reserves in the city, the city would collapse without the orcs.
Qingfeng City has the support of sea transportation channels, plus a huge inner city, so the food reserves are sufficient.
But the food reserves of Qingfeng City are not enough to be transported out, and the defenders of Qingfeng City can only barely defend Qingfeng City at most.
Jimmy also dared not act rashly. His main army needed to be on guard against the defense of Fort Conaston at all times.
At the same time, he had to be ready to support his own Martel City and Xu Lai's Qingfeng City at any time.
These two cities, one is his foundation, and the other is Xu Lai's foundation. He couldn't accept losing any of them.
For Xu Lai, the only good news is that he can at least keep an eye on Kenlo Hag's main force, that is, the Frost Giant Wolf Cavalry Regiment.
This cavalry regiment has good endurance, and all of them have beast vision and can march at night.
Usually, Kenlo Hag will definitely pull back the distance that Xu Lai shortened during the day, and he can also plunder one or two villages and towns by the way.
This cavalry regiment is too conspicuous in size and has too obvious characteristics.
On the endless green plain, a large area of white traces is so conspicuous that it is impossible not to be conspicuous.
Kenlo Hag has to use at least ten acceleration spells every day, so that he can barely use the day + night transfer and never have a head-on confrontation with Xu Lai.
However, it is already close to the end of spring and summer is about to begin. There is a lot of daytime time, and it is not so easy for him to get rid of Xu Lai.
The key is that Xu Lai has been following behind, and the frost wolf riders dare not fight for more than half an hour, let alone attacking the city.
At the same time, they have to run during the day and at night, and people can rest on the back of the wolf for a while, but the giant wolves can only rest intermittently every day.
For the frost giant wolves, they have to survive the severe winter, so they have the habit of storing fat and can persist for a short time.
But over time, they can't get meat supplements frequently, and their physical strength will decline faster and faster.
Now Kenlo Hag is not only releasing the acceleration spell, but also taking advantage of the duration of the acceleration spell to continue to release the recovery spell.
But even so, the morale, fighting will, and even attributes of the Frost Wolf Riders are constantly declining.
The longer they run, the faster their fighting power disappears.
If possible, Kenlo Hag would definitely not want to run anymore. He would gather all the Wolf Riders to fight Xu Lai to the death.
As long as Xu Lai can be killed, the final victory of this grassland battle must be their orcs.
But if he continues to run like this, even if he gathers all the Wolf Riders, he can no longer be Xu Lai's opponent.
Continuously releasing dozens of strategic spells every day, even if he replenishes mana potions every day, he can't bear it.
In addition, he doesn't rest well and the recovery effect is extremely poor. He can only rely on potions every day, and his mana reserves are getting worse day by day.
When the battle starts, the opponent releases spells one after another, but his side doesn't even have the power to fight back. How can there be any chance of winning?
But it's not possible. Beast King Sachs gave him a death order.
Even if he dies, he must die with Xu Lai's cavalry. In any case, he must buy him at least a week of time.
Sachs wanted to use this week to concentrate all his troops and capture Stone City as a bridgehead.
Even if the orcs' plan to attack the grassland failed in the end, as long as they took down the Stone City carefully built by Xu Lai, the orcs could use the city as a defense line and own half of the grassland.
Although half of the grassland is not better than one grassland, it can provide the orcs with a most elite tribe.
After accumulating for a period of time, will they still be inferior to Xu Lai who only has half of the grassland?
And the reason why Xu Lai has been stationed outside is to prevent the orc army from attacking the city wholeheartedly.
When the pressure on the Stone City is too great, or there is a gap in the defense.
Xu Lai outside only needs a charge to push the orcs back, replenish the city defense facilities for the people of the Stone City, and buy time to repair the city walls.
The charge that night cannot be said to have completely destroyed Sachs' confidence.
But it also let him know that except for the Behemoth Legion, which has not really been deployed, no unit in the stronghold can stop such a torrent of iron cavalry.
In addition, if Xu Lai is not mobilized, the humans who have now fully occupied the air and ground advantages will definitely not miss the opportunity for the orcs to slowly concentrate their forces.
His Behemoth army cannot arrive quickly for a while, and if the rest of the troops continue to be attacked by Xu Lai, they will be completely scattered.
At that time, even if his Behemoth army is still there, can he still expect these beasts to climb the city wall?
Therefore, Sachs can only attack the enemy's must-rescue.
The wolf cavalry is sabotaging in the rear, and Xu Lai, the only mobile force, has no choice but to go.
Of course, Xu Lai also has his own plans.
Xu Lai does not know how many enemies and supplies there are in the stronghold, so he cannot let the Stone City become an isolated city.
The lifeline in the rear cannot be destroyed by these wolf cavalry.
At the same time, he is also planning to take this opportunity to completely kill the wolf cavalry corps in the stronghold.
In order to maintain the suppression of the wolf cavalry, Xu Lai left Naru and the 4th-level trainee knights and 5th-level knight squires in the Stone City.
The 6,000 cavalrymen he brought with him were all regular knights of level 6 at the lowest.
In addition to these 6,000 cavalrymen, Xu Lai had two supporting troops in the rear.
One was the Knight Wind Corps led by Jimmy. Jimmy would personally lead the most elite, including the Guards Knights who had surrendered because of Aini, a total of 3,000 elite cavalrymen to come to support.
Of course, they were not following Xu Lai and his men, but came from a direction where Kenlo Hag might have fled.
In addition to Jimmy, there was another knight group that even Aini, Parame and other traitors did not know about.
Even this knight group was not in Xu Lai's plan earlier.
His Majesty the Pope ordered the migration of millions of believers through the Northern Empire to the grassland area.
For these millions of believers, the Pope sent two knight groups, one priest group and one priest group to accompany and protect them.
Bishop Dur Crimson led the priests to lead the way, Bishop Wright Crimson led the priests to guard the rear, and Pierce led the knights to coordinate in the middle.
Lina led the former Sixth Knights, now the Third Knights, as the vanguard.
The eight knights of the temple, which were originally famous in the temple, have been reduced to six after several battles and the addition of a large number of trainee knights.
In addition to the death of Jerome, the original leader of the Third Knights, the second knights, which were the strongest after the First Knights, all died on the land of the Western Empire.
From the leader of the knights to the horsemen, civilians, and believers who followed the army, nearly 10,000 knights were all destroyed.
At this moment, the temple also dispatched two knights because these one million believers are the future of the temple and cannot be lost at all.
As a vanguard officer, Lina should not have participated in any battle for the safety of these one million believers.
But after the other party reconnected with Xu Lai at Luo Mingru's place, he wanted to take the original Sixth Knights to participate in the battle without saying a word.
When they arrived at Luo Mingru's place, they had already entered Xu Lai's sphere of influence. Along the way, they could see many outposts built by Xu Lai and patrolling knights.
Xu Lai also gave instructions to Su Ya, asking her to take Elena with her to meet these believers.
Besides, there was another knight group and two crimson bishops in the rear, so it was nothing for a third knight group to leave alone.
Because the establishment of two knight groups was abolished in succession, and many young trainee knights were added, plus the ranking was improved.
The number of the third knight group has increased from 2,000 to 3,000, and the number of paladins and knights has increased.
These are just combat soldiers. If the grooms who followed the army, the civilians who were responsible for building the camp, the cooks who transported food and cooked, etc. are counted, the third knight group's regular and auxiliary soldiers are more than 7,000.
When fighting, only 3,000 knights are needed. They will intercept the wolf cavalry from the north.
Xu Lai had not thought of using this knight group before, but the leader of the knight group, Lina, told Xu Lai.
He said that Xu Lai was the leader of this knight group, so there was no reason not to let his family members participate at this time.
Speaking of which, Xu Lai has indeed never resigned from the position of Knight Commander, and when he left, Lina clearly stated that he would keep his position as Knight Commander.
Now they are willing to help, Xu Lai really can't refuse, and there is also this need, so he simply let Lina participate.
There were Pegasus knights following during the day, and Xu Lai was behind, but he never used all his strength to catch up.
Otherwise, he has the talent of speed, an imperial flag like the Knight's Sword, and a master-level attack acceleration scroll.
Moreover, in terms of the recovery speed and upper limit of mana, Xu Lai can never be worse than Kenlo Hag.
Kenro Hager has large-scale acceleration skills such as Wolf Rush, and all the serious knights under Xu Lai's command also have the ability to charge and sprint.
Coupled with the full morale bonus of our own side, the enemy's morale is getting lower and lower. If we really want to pursue them, unless Xu Lai can't see these wolf riders.
The reason why we always keep a safe distance is to drive these wolves towards the encirclement.
Otherwise, even if Xu Lai catches up, the other party will break him into pieces, and he doesn't dare to divide his troops randomly. At most, he can only wipe out a few hundred or a few thousand wolf riders.
Xu Lai didn't know how many groups the Wolf Riders were divided into, but judging from reports from various places, there were at least three groups.
But regardless of the other routes, Xu Lai only had to keep an eye on Kenlo Hager's Wolf Rider.
Because the most elite Frost Wolf Cavalry and those seventh-level Wolf Warriors are now all under the command of Kenlo Hag, and there are almost more than 6,000 of them.
Kenlo Hager divided his troops according to the size of Xu Lai's troops. He knew that there would always be a battle between him and Xu Lai.
But in such a battle, Kenlo Hager did not want to be surrounded.
After running for four or five days, Kenlo Hager and his wolf cavalry were finally surrounded by three major knights.
Although he was surrounded, Kenlo Hager was not panicked.
He calmly pulled down his mask, pointed in the direction of Jimmy Martell and said:
"Send the order, all wolf riders, charge in this direction.
After rushing out, they immediately dispersed and moved freely in small groups. "
The adjutant looked in that direction, swallowed and said:
"That's going to the southeast. It's said that the guy named Xu's lair is there. It's better to break out in the northeast."
After looking at the flags flying in the northeast, Kenlo Hager said without raising his head:
“Go to the southeast, there is still a glimmer of hope of survival, go to the northeast, the wolf cavalry will be completely exposed here.
Go ahead. Although there are many enemy cavalry in that direction, their fighting will is the worst. As long as you are not afraid of death, you will definitely charge through them. "
The adjutant nodded and suddenly said in shock: "Us? General, aren't you with us?"
Kenlo Hager said no more.
After he waited for all the military orders to be conveyed, he led 3,000 Frost Wolf Knights, changed their formation, and rushed towards Xu Lai's direction.
If this extremely fast cavalry were not stopped first, none of the more than 6,000 wolf cavalry present would be able to escape. (End of chapter)
