Chapter 234: Siege
Hearing the urgent sound of horse hooves, Xu Lai had a bad premonition.
When the elf knight dismounted and came to Xu Lai to report, Xu Lai's brows furrowed even deeper.
“You are saying that there is a group of wolf riders with more than a thousand people, approaching in this direction?
Can Yan Feng be sure that these wolf riders are coming towards us? , did he see the ogre priest in the team?"
Cursed by blood feud, Xu Lai's whereabouts are no secret among the ogres.
But Xu Lai won't regret it if he exchanged a curse for the sacred blood bottle.
"Captain Yan continued to watch, but these wolf riders did not continue to approach, and stopped about ten kilometers away from the village."
"Stopped?"< br>
The elf also frowned and said: "Yes, I can confirm that they should have been running towards us before, but they suddenly stopped for some reason."
The elves already have excellent vision capabilities, otherwise their archers would not be famous throughout the world.
So Xu Lai also believed what the elf could confirm.
He saw the elves running very fast before, and thought that the orcs were coming, but he did not expect that they would stop suddenly.
"The wolf cavalry have poor endurance. Could it be that they have been chasing us all the way and have exhausted their physical strength, so they plan to rest before attacking us."
Yu Lan on the side replied.
Xu Lai nodded and said: "It's not impossible. Please ask everyone to speed up a little more. Let's finish eating and leave quickly. I always feel that there is nothing good."
After that, Xu Lai said to the elf again Said: "Ed, please work harder and return to Yan Feng.
As long as those wolf riders make any moves, they will come back immediately to report."
The elf Ed cupped his hand and hurriedly returned A ride away.
This is the benefit of having an assistant for Yan Feng. In the past, Yan Feng could only come back and report by himself, while no one could continue to monitor the movements of the orcs.
Thinking of this, Xu Lai raised his head.
Sure enough, a figure on the horizon was getting closer and closer. It was Elvi who also went out to investigate, but she and Yan Feng were responsible for two opposite directions.
Hidden by the wide hood, Xu Lai still couldn't see clearly the expression on Elvie's face.
But usually Elvie would scout far away and would not come back so early.
“Have you discovered the orcs?”
Elvi replied: "Yes, Your Excellency."
"Wolf Cavalry?"
Elvi continued to nod: "Wolf Cavalry."
"Thousands "Remaining people?"
Elvie finally shook her head, but the answer she gave was even less ideal.
"A team of more than a thousand people is good, but the orcs I discovered are more than just one team."
At the moment, Elvi introduced her discovery in detail.
It was the same as what Yan Feng detected, but after Elwe saw a group of wolf cavalry, she expanded the search area. As expected, a group of wolf cavalry was also found in the southeast corner of Xu Lai and the others. .
This group of wolf cavalry is larger in number, about 3,000 people, and should be the main force of the wolf cavalry.
This main team of wolf cavalry was also the furthest away from Xu Lai and the others. According to Elvi's estimation, they stopped at about 20 kilometers away.
Xu Lai took a branch and simply drew it on the ground.
The three known groups of wolf cavalry are all to the east of Xu Lai and the others. Yan Feng is relatively north, plus the main force of the wolf cavalry in the southeast corner, and a group that is still heading towards Xu Lai and the others. More than a thousand wolf cavalrymen circled behind them.
The two teams had stopped, and Xu Lai guessed that they were already in position.
The remaining group that is still moving should be trying to outflank them and then encircle them on three sides.
"Sir, should we withdraw first? Otherwise, we will be in danger when the wolf cavalry encircle us."
After looking at the patterns on the ground, even Tahan couldn't help but frown.
Xu Lai looked at the map carefully, then drew a line in the upper left corner and said:
"I don't think they want to surround us. Although this village is close to A small hill, but if the wolf cavalry in the northeast corner wants to bypass this hill and block this line, it will definitely not be as fast as us.
No matter who the commander of these wolf cavalry is, he will definitely not be able to do so. You're a brainless person, otherwise he wouldn't have divided his troops to surround us.
Elwee also said just now that there are still more than 3,000 men in the main force of the Wolf Cavalry. If it were me, I would definitely continue to divide them. With troops and horses, it is possible to surround him on all sides
But he tried to encircle him, but he left such a big loophole. Do you think it's possible? ”
Xu Lai has not been systematically trained in military knowledge, but the TV movies he has watched over the years have finally made him not such a novice.
Besides, the Chinese nation has been I just passively accepted all kinds of education. Not only did I read Thirty-Six Stratagems and Sun Tzu's Art of War, I at least heard many of the allusions in them.
Of course, when I actually went to the battlefield, I might be half-baked like this. Water is more prone to accidents
But Xu Lai is different. He likes to think too much no matter what he does, and he becomes more cautious when he comes to a strange world.
Xu Lai looked up and found that several people were looking at him with innocent faces. He smiled helplessly and said:
"Well, actually I just don't think it's that simple. The enemy can't deliberately leave us a way to survive.< br>
So, I suspect that there may be other ambushes or traps behind this line. Of course, it is also possible that I am being alarmist, or that the orcs are simply too late.
< br>We have already discovered them before they have divided their forces, so they simply stand still to avoid being noticed by us. ”
Tahan and Yu Lan stared with big innocent eyes.
Well, I hope the two of them will have nothing to do. Xu Lai looked at Elvi again.
This guy was even more incredible. When he thrust the sacred sword into the ground, it went directly into the ground for more than half a meter.
"Please give the order, my knight!"
Although he knew they didn't care, Xu Lai still explained: "As the saying goes, the more the enemy wants, the more we will The more I can’t give it.”
After that, Xu Lai looked around and said: "Everyone is going to eat and rest. Elvi, please work harder and call Yan Feng and the others back.
Then, you stare at this one and follow We are circling the soldiers and horses, and let me know when they are about to stop."
Elvi's eyes lit up and she said, "Are you going to take action against this cavalry?"
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Yes, let's rush in while they are unstable and exhausted.
Tahan, you should be the arrowhead and carry my banner of the giant beast killer. .”
There are two more elves in the team. If this flag is not on the front line, morale will not be at full value.
Tahan responded: "No problem."
After assigning the tasks, Xu Lai asked everyone to rest, eat and build up power as soon as possible.
As soon as they wait for Elvi's signal, Xu Lai and the others will immediately launch a charge.
The wait lasted for more than half an hour. Even Yan Feng and the others came back and had lunch with peace of mind.
The wolf cavalry should have already formulated a strategy. As soon as Elwei gave Xu Lai a signal from the sky, the wolf cavalry in the other two directions also started to move.
Obviously, they have agreed on a time to attack.
However, Xu Lai did not shrink back because there were more wolf cavalry. In fact, if he had not brought these 80 herdsmen with him, he might have rushed to the main force of the wolf cavalry.
Of course, he is not going to fight with others, he is not so crazy.
Xu Lai just wanted to use his speed advantage to turn a corner in front of them and shoot two more arrows to tease the opponent's coach.
If you're lucky, you can kill the general and capture the flag again, and you won't be able to take advantage of the chaos to defeat this group of wolf cavalry.
With these 80 herdsmen, Xu Lai had no confidence that he could escape unscathed. If he was just teasing the enemy, there was really no need to take such a risk.
The wolf cavalry team that had just arrived at the corresponding position was not even arranged in order. The leading general was still gathering the troops when he saw bursts of smoke and dust floating in the distance.
The Wolf Cavalry general was panicked. This was different from the battle plan formulated by Talosi.
Orc generals, if you let them charge, they will be more brave than the other.
Asking them to use their brains is really making things difficult for them.
The orc general touched his head and really couldn't figure out what to do now.
The troops behind them have not gathered yet, and everyone has rushed all the way here. Even if the knight still has physical strength, the warg under his crotch really can't run away.
But there is a lot of loose sand behind him. If someone rushes towards him, he will be jumped over in an instant.
No matter how reluctant the orc generals are to use their brains, they still have basic military common sense.
Seeing the smoke and dust billowing from the distance, the orc general slapped his thigh and said to the guard wolf cavalry beside him:
"You stay, seize the time to gather the troops, and the rest of the people rush with me!"< br>
I have to say that orcs are really brave and they never know what it means to be afraid.
Even if the number of wolf cavalry gathered around was less than a hundred, the general gritted his teeth, raised his swords and said:
"Children, charge at me!"
< br>
The general and his bodyguards all use the best equipment and the best mounts.
However, the nature of the wolves will not be improved by their courage.
Even if this is the strongest wolf in the group, there is not much physical strength left at this time. They muster up the last remaining strength to start charging, but they still can't pick up the speed.
If Xu Lai led a charge in normal times, he might not be able to withstand such a group of charging elite wolf riders.
It just so happened that the leader this time was the heroic knight Tahan.
Before the charge, Xu Lai warned him not to hold back. This was two hundred versus one thousand. If he held back, it was hard to say who would win.
Therefore, before the two sides were about to collide, Tahan directly gave a holy armor order to a Holy Light Knight.
The holy armor of the Holy Light Knight can cover approximately the nearest 2 or 30 units, which is affected by both distance and quantity.
But no matter what, the Paladins charging at the front will definitely be covered.
In this case, the three Holy Light Knights will be released in rotation, giving them a full 3 minutes of invincibility.
In addition, the Paladin himself has the invincibility skill, which is equivalent to being invincible for 4 minutes with full firepower. This is extremely terrifying on the battlefield.
