Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 240 - The Second Battle (4)

In the Battle Song Castle, the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

When the wolf cavalry of the third wing of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment led by Blade defeated the cavalry of the daily mercenary group, and successfully evacuated the battlefield before the elven cavalry arrived, and returned to Warsong Castle, the orcs in Warsong Castle finally swept away the haze of many days, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Soon, however, the orcs in Warsong received the news that Senna had led a support force from Glory to the front line of Warsong Castle. Muraton, the now de facto supreme commander of Warsong Castle, immediately summoned Blade and the others again to convene a new military council.

"Not only did Senna bring more than 2,000 reinforcements, but in addition, our scout cavalry also found the figure of the Chimera in the enemy's barracks, and it seems that the daily mercenary group and the elven army have invested almost all of their military strength to capture our Warsong Fort!

The orc officers who attended the meeting, you look at me, I look at you, after a long time, no one spoke, apparently no one came up with any good ideas!

"Since there are more than 2,000 new reinforcements from the daily mercenary group, it seems that the Glory Fort side is out this time, and there should not be many garrisons left in the city, the number is estimated to be only a few hundred, and the garrison force is seriously insufficient. I want to take the 3rd Wing around the enemy barracks and go to Fort Glory!" In a moment of silence, the blade suddenly spoke.

"You're going to attack Glory Castle?" asked Muradon, looking at Blade, surprised.

"Yes, Lord Muraton!" Blade nodded.

"Even if there are only a few hundred daily mercenary soldiers left in Fort Glory, there are still more than 20,000 citizens in Fort Glory. Most of these citizens are Terrans, and there are almost no orcs of us, so it shouldn't be much of a problem for the daily mercenary group to send out hundreds of thousands of people from these citizens to help defend the city! After yesterday's battle with the daily mercenary cavalry, although your third wing has lost very few troops, it seems that there are less than a thousand people who can enter the battle now!" Muraton muttered: "Relying on you people, is it a little difficult to capture the Glory Castle?"

"But, Lord Muraton, I think that while Fort Glory is empty, now is the best time to attack Fort Glory! The combat effectiveness of those who are temporarily selected by the daily mercenary group from among the citizens is negligible, in fact, the real combat effectiveness is only the hundreds of daily mercenaries who stay behind. They would never have thought that when they were attacking Warsong Castle, our Warsong Castle would still be able to divide our troops to raid Glory Castle. As long as I am taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, I am confident that with the more than 900 wolf cavalry of the Third Wing, I will be able to capture Warsong Fort with great ease!" said Blade, insisting on his opinion.

"Your Third Wing is an important force in Warsong Castle, and only you can fight against those elven cavalry! If you leave, we will not be able to fight this battle against the enemy!" said an orc officer with some concern.

"Now that Senna has arrived with new reinforcements and that Chimera, if we are to fight a coalition of mercenaries and elves in the field, then we will definitely not be opponents!"

"Actually, this time, our third wing was able to defeat those mercenary cavalry, and there was also a lot of luck. If the elven cavalry was acting together with the mercenary cavalry at that time, and did not act in succession, we would not have been able to seize this time difference, and we would not have dared to let go of a battle with the mercenary cavalry, and then withdraw from the battlefield before the elven cavalry arrived on the battlefield!"

"Especially since there are a lot of magicians in the enemy army! Fortunately, those magicians are elves, and they all follow the elven cavalry. If those magicians were following the daily mercenary cavalry, this battle of our Third Wing in the field would not be easy to fight, and it would not be so easy to win!"

"So, in the next battle, after the magician of the elven clan and the powerful Chimera participated, as Lord Muraton said at the last military meeting, although we have an advantage in troops, we are not superior in combat strength, and we cannot engage in a field battle with the enemy, otherwise we will be defeated!

"Warsong Castle's city is strong, especially equipped with several city defense ballistas, these huge ballistas can pose a huge threat to the enemy magicians and the Chimera!

"Then once you can hold out here at Warsong Castle, and I lead my troops to capture Glory Castle, the enemy will have no place to stay, and he will be in chaos!

Blade spoke eloquently to a group of orc officers, his tone calm and powerful, and he explained the reason why he planned to lead the Third Wing to attack Fort Glory at the military meeting.

After Blade finished explaining the reason, the orc officers in the conference room suddenly exchanged words, and after a moment of discussion, they all expressed their opinions, and most of them agreed with Blade's opinion.

While Blade was still speaking, Muraton, who was listening intently, nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with Blade's opinion in his heart.

At this time, an orc officer suddenly asked: "Even if you capture the Glory Castle, but those mercenaries and elves return to attack the Glory Castle, what should you do? With your manpower, it is impossible for you to defend the Glory Castle!"

"I don't plan to defend Fort Glory!" Blade replied in a deep voice, "The purpose of my attack on Fort Glory this time is to understand the siege of Fort Warsong, not to occupy Fort of Glory! Moreover, after I attack Fort of Glory, I will set fire to the grain stored in Fort Glory, and it is winter now, and there is an extreme shortage of food in all parts of the grassland! Once the grain in Fort of Glory is burned, the mercenaries and elves will fall into the dilemma of lack of food! If they still stubbornly defend Fort Glory without food, they will be killing themselves!"

The orc officer who asked the question agreed with Blade's answer, and asked no further questions.

Seeing that most of the orc officers attending the meeting agreed, Muraton immediately made a decision: "Okay, Blade, you can lead the wolf cavalry of the third company to raid Fort of Glory!

"No, Lord Muraton, it's already afternoon at this time, I'm going to wait a little longer and leave in the evening!" Blade shook his head, "There are a large number of enemy scouts near Warsong Fort during the day, and if the troops set off during the day, it is very likely that the enemy scouts will find out their whereabouts!"

This military meeting came to an end after the plan of the Third Wing led by Blade to attack Fort Glory for thousands of miles.

The grasslands of Northern Xinjiang are still in the middle of winter, so it gets dark early, and night soon falls on Warsong Castle.

On winter nights, not only is the night wind bleak and cold, but the moonlight and starlight in the sky are also very dim, and the four fields are dark and rumbling.

On this freezing night, when you can't see your fingers, the gates of Warsong Castle are squeaked open. More than 900 wolf cavalrymen of the third wing of the Bloodtooth Cavalry Regiment, led by Blade, quietly walked out of Warsong Castle. It's easy

Facing the biting cold wind, the blood-toothed wolf cavalry urged the wolves to rush into the vast grassland in the night, and once again embarked on the journey to the Glory Castle.

......

When the first rays of the winter morning sun pierced the veil-like mist and fell on the grassland, the long sound of trumpets sounded in the barracks, waking up the mercenaries and elven soldiers who were still asleep.

The coalition soldiers got up from their marching beds, put on their armor, and then walked out of the tents and began to enjoy breakfast.

Today's breakfast was much richer than before, whether it was a mercenary warrior or an elven knight, in addition to a large piece of oatmeal bread that must be eaten every day, everyone also got a large fat sausage, and the drink to accompany the meal was also changed from water to milk or honey water.

And the reason why this meal has become so rich today is only because it was the last meal before the Great War.

After Senna arrived at the front line of Warsong Castle with reinforcements, after three days of rest, the coalition forces were finally ready to attack Warsong Castle.

After breakfast, the allied soldiers quickly assembled, and then began to march one after another to the sound of the loud military trumpet, and came to the city of Warsong Castle, and stood in formation.

Every move of the coalition army has long fallen into the eyes of the orc scout cavalry who closely follow the dynamics of the coalition military camp. When the coalition soldiers began to pull out the camp, the orc defenders of Warsong Castle who received the news immediately sprang into action and poured into the head of Warsong Castle.

Senna rode on the back of a tall horse, standing under a huge flag of the Sun-Chasing Mercenary Regiment. When he led his army to the castle, he saw the orc defenders waiting for him at the head of the castle.

"Senna, do you want to attack now?" asked Wenreya, beside Senna.

Senna nodded.

Wen Leiya immediately turned around and bowed lightly to the elven mage group behind her.

Two elven mages stepped out of the mage group and came to the coalition formation, chanting magical spells.

There are a total of seven elven mages who followed Wen Leiya out of the Nightsong Forest, and although these elven mages practiced mainly natural magic, two of them also dabbled in fire magic. Therefore, one of the battle plans set by the coalition forces is to use these two elven mages who can use fireball magic to see if they can use fireball magic to blow down a section of the city wall, as a breakthrough for the coalition to attack Warsong Castle.

As the two elven mages finished chanting the lengthy magic spell, the temperature in front of the two of them rose sharply, and then two fireballs with a diameter of more than half a meter were generated out of thin air.

With a wave of their respective hands, the two elven mages flew towards the head of Warsong Castle.

Suddenly, several terrible and sharp roars were heard, and five huge crossbow arrows flew out from the head of Warsong Castle almost at the same time.

Two of the giant crossbows shot at the fireballs in the sky, and the other three giant crossbows flew towards the two elven mages who sent out the fireballs, and Senna, who represented the banner of the Commander.

Two fireballs were exploded in the air.

Senna and the two elven mages on the ground all changed their faces when they saw that the target of the giant crossbow was him.

Senna leaped from the back of his horse and landed to the side. The war horse, which could not dodge, was directly shot through by the giant crossbow, and after letting out a terrible neigh, it fell to the ground.

As for the two elven mages, because they didn't have the athletic skills of Senna, they could only watch the giant crossbow attack, and their eyes were desperate.

At the critical moment, Wen Leiya suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath, and with a wave of her slender hand, the long sword immediately flew out of her hand and crashed into one of the giant crossbows.

Hearing a bang, the long sword thrown by Wen Leiya was knocked away by the giant crossbow, but the impact of the long sword hitting the giant crossbow also caused the giant crossbow to deviate, lose its accuracy, and failed to shoot the elven mage who was selected as the target, but inserted it into the mud at his feet.

One of the remaining crossbows accurately hit another elven mage, piercing his chest and nailing him to the ground.

At the very beginning of the war, the coalition forces were devastated, and one of the most precious elven mages was killed.

"Nuramok, find a way to destroy the orcs' ballista!" Wen Leiya suddenly raised her head and shouted into the sky.

A Chimera, who had been soaring in the clouds of the sky for a long time, suddenly broke through the clouds and ran towards the head of Warsong Castle.
