"Divert the tiger from the mountain? He wants to attack Portland City? Just use his little strength to attack the city? No matter how you say that Portland City has an infantry brigade of more than 3,000 people left!" Victor exclaimed in disbelief.

"Maybe except that our Tyrannosaurus Knights Brigade still has some combat effectiveness in his eyes, the infantry brigade in Portland City is not taken seriously by him at all! Have you forgotten that a few months ago, Otto City, an important western city with 30,000 heavy troops, was also briefly attacked by more than 2,000 blood-toothed wolf cavalry? I don't think he aimed to capture Portland City, he just wanted to attack Portland City at a certain point. After all, it is impossible for the defenders of the city to concentrate on one point of defense, so his forces are relatively not at a great disadvantage on one point. All he had to do was break through Portland from one point, go in and burn and loot, and then retreat before the defenders from the rest of the points arrived, and then his goal would have been achieved!" Sophia said.

"What did he do this for? He ventured into Portland City and then killed Baron Jack to provoke you, all for a chance to have his cavalry burn and loot in Portland City? These orcs don't seem to have a shortage of supplies and need to rely on looting to replenish supplies, right?" asked Victor with a frown.

"He's supposed to be there to hit us. Now everyone knows that our second brigade of tyrannosaurus knights is here to deal with these blood-toothed wolf cavalry, but if even the city we are stationed in is breached by the blood-toothed wolf cavalry like this, even if the city loses little, it will be laughed at by people. If Blade wants to attack Portland with his little force, he will have to avoid us who are on a par with us, so he must find a way to keep our second team out of the city while he is attacking. Sophia said slowly.

"Captain, shall we return to Portland City immediately?" asked Victor in a deep voice. In fact, after this Q&A with Sophia, he knew that Sophia must have other arrangements, and he had already made a decision.

"We don't have to defend anymore, it's too late, and I don't plan to defend at all. Fifteen hundred griffin knights of the First Brigade of the Empire's 3rd Air Cavalry Regiment stationed in Essen were hurrying towards Portland. With the addition of this new force, even if those blood-toothed wolf cavalry are strong, it is not easy for them to attack Portland City like this. Sophia said.

"Air cavalry, it turns out that the captain has already secretly informed the friendly forces in Essen City. Victor's eyes lit up. He knew that although the distance between Essen City and Portland City was not close, it would not be difficult for the Air Cavalry to rush from Essen City to Portland City in one day as long as they received the news early. And without the help of a priest like a shaman who can use ultra-long-range attacks, even the elite land cavalry of the orcs like the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry will feel a headache in the face of the cavalry in the sky.

"The Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry of the Blade is only the strength of a wing, if he wants to attack Portland City, he must also divide most of his forces, so the number of enemies in our team will not be very large, this time we have the upper hand, if we can't destroy these orcs, it will be considered an insult to the prestige of our Tyrannosaurus Knights. Sophia looked up at the distance, a chill flashing in her eyes.

With that, Sophia flicked her whip and urged the velociraptor to run down the hill.

Victor looked at the petite figure in the group of knights who rushed into the hill and gathered at the bottom of the hill, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he sighed and drove the velociraptor to run down the hill.

After lunch and a short rest, the three thousand Tyrannosaurus Knights continued to move forward.

Suddenly, the progress of the entire Tyrannosaurus Knights team slowed down, and several Tyrannosaurus Knights in front of them stopped the Velociraptor and blocked the way of the Tyrannosaurus Riders behind. One of the Tyrannosaurus knights reached out and pointed forward, shouting, "Look, werewolf, it's the werewolf scout." ”

I saw that on a small hill four hundred meters in front of the tyrannosaurus knights, more than a dozen werewolf scout cavalry appeared, the blood-red triangular battle flag behind their backs was hunting and flying in the wind, and the huge wolf under the crotch had a hideous face, staring at the invading human cavalry under the small hill.

Suddenly, an officer in the Tyrannosaurus Knights' team made a gesture, and a small team of about 20 Tyrannosaurus Knights immediately whipped the dragon and quickly rushed out of the cavalry ranks, stretched out their bows and arrows, slashed their knives and raised their guns, and galloped towards the small hill.

Seeing the Tyrannosaurus rider who suddenly rushed out, the werewolf scouts on the small hill immediately whistled, and they didn't want to fight, they turned their wolf heads one after another, and quickly retreated behind the small hill.

At this time, about ten miles away from the Tyrannosaurus knight team led by Sophia, a thousand-strong blood-toothed wolf cavalry team was standing solemnly on the field where the west wind was blowing in the Anason region of the Beamon Empire, quietly waiting for the upcoming bloody battle.

Farther away in Portland, another team of blood-toothed wolf cavalry had quietly reached the city's weakest defense, the northern gate. Looking at the prosperous human city close at hand, a leading werewolf officer showed a fierce light in his eyes, he "brushed" and pulled out the war knife at his waist, "woo" raised his head to the sky and howled, and the front finger of the war knife, 1,500 blood-toothed wolf cavalry suddenly howled and rushed towards this prosperous frontier city of the human race.

......

The wind, blowing wildly, brushed the blade's face, bringing with it a hint of blood.

The smell of blood in the wind is getting heavier and heavier. Dede

In the field, seven or eight wolves galloped with difficulty, and the knights on the back of the wolves, along with the mounts under them, all carried the traces of blood left by their swords and arrows.

Several wolf cavalry scouts rushed straight to the blade, and then they all rolled over and got off the wolf, kneeling on one knee.

"Report to the Wing Commander, my subordinates probed the strength of the enemy according to your wishes, and drew out more than 20 enemy cavalry, and then fought with them after keeping them away from the main formation, and our side killed a total of ten enemy soldiers, but eight of our brothers were killed. The scout captain gritted his teeth, the pain caused by the feather arrow stuck in his shoulder made his forehead sweat run cold.

Blade's face was as calm as ever, but Beta on the side frowned and said, "The number of enemies fighting is basically the same as ours, and the losses on both sides are not much different...... Well, it seems that it is indeed the elite cavalry of the human race, this ...... Captain, it seems that this battle is a bit difficult for us!"

As he spoke, Beta's eyes involuntarily looked at the blade.

It's no wonder that Beta is worried, the combat power of an ordinary wolf cavalry is roughly equivalent to the combat power of three ordinary human knights, and the elite of wolf cavalry like them is an exaggeration to say that they can reach a hundred with one against an ordinary knight of a human race, but if it is said to be one to ten, it is not bragging. After the current temptation, it was found that the individual combat power of the attacking Tyrannosaurus Knights was not inferior to them, coupled with the huge gap in numbers, naturally made Beta feel that this battle was difficult to fight.

"The Tyrannosaurus Knights have been on a par with our Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment for a long time, and it is not surprising that the knights in their regiment can have such combat power. Blade said calmly. Then he said to the wounded wolf cavalry scouts, "Go down and let the shaman in the army heal you, and there will be a bloody battle later." ”

Several wolf cavalry scouts got up one after another, led their own equally injured giant wolf, and retreated to the rear of the formation.

"Beta, are you thinking that the enemy army has three thousand, and we only have a thousand, and half of them are recruits who have just been replenished, and we are obviously at a disadvantage in this battle, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight?" Blade glanced at Beta beside him and asked.

"Yes, Wing Captain. Beta nodded in reply.

"I didn't think about fighting with those Tyrannosaurus knights at all this time, and I gave the order to go down, and after I confronted the Tyrannosaurus knights, I was only allowed to make a little contact, and I was ready to retreat at any time to listen to my orders, and I was not allowed to fight. Blade said slowly as he looked at the smoke and dust rising on the distant horizon.

When Beta heard this, he was stunned.

But soon, Beta did as Blade wanted, and didn't ask why.

Seeing that the order would soon be given, and Beta, who was silent after returning, Blade couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you ask me why I did this?

"I want to know, but if the co-captain wants to tell his subordinates, even if the subordinates don't ask, the co-captain will naturally say. If the co-captain doesn't want to tell his subordinates, it's useless for his subordinates to ask, so it's better not to ask. Beta replied from the side.

Blade smiled and said, "Beta, you are one of the most intelligent among us orcs. If more of our orcs have the same nimble mind as you, and don't be so brainless and unable to turn the corner, then we orcs won't find it so difficult to deal with scheming humans. ”

Next, Blade explained to Beta why he did so.

"This time, we are facing an enemy whose combat effectiveness is no worse than ours, and because of their numerical superiority, they have the upper hand over us, and we will only suffer a loss if we resist it head-on. We can only show weakness, deceive the enemy, and drag them after us. And then when they get Portland City and are breached by Barth's men and horses, and return in a panic, we will go back and make some head. I'm not arrogant enough to think that with a mere 1,000 men, I can wipe out 3,000 Tyrannosaurus Knights. The blade said unhurriedly.

"As long as Bart breaks through the city of Portland, my purpose of provoking this war will be achieved. I want the people of the Byzantine Empire to understand that even if the Tyrannosaurus Knight comes to the border, what can I do?" Blade's tone was still calm and calm, but in his eyes, there was a frenzied light burning like a raging flame, exposing the surging excitement in his heart.

"Woo, woo," the long horn sounded in the field, accompanied by the trembling of the earth, and I saw that under the canopy, at the end of the firmament, a thin black line slowly emerged, getting thicker and thicker.
