Chapter 696 Fatal Mistake
When this orc army chased into the valley, a group of black figures appeared on the mountain walls on both sides above the valley, and they were Sylvanas and the others who had been ambushed here in advance.
Sylvanas and Selin have long known how powerful the Orc wolf is, and no matter how much they hide their tracks, they will be found by those who have a super keen sense of smell.
In that case, they simply did not hide their tracks, and after launching the attack, they swaggered back towards the valley.
Sylvanas then ordered the mage forces to move on, while she and the rangers lay in ambush on the mountain walls on either side of the valley.
The mages had used magic before, and the smell was a bit stronger than that of the rangers, and they had no problem luring the wolves.
Sure enough, the orc's pursuit party was quickly led into the valley by the mage troops, and there was not much time left for Sylvanas at this time, and soon a wolf would notice that there was also a smell coming from the mountain walls on both sides.
If that happens, most of their previous arrangements will be scrapped, so Sylvanas immediately ordered to prepare for an attack, and as soon as the orc army had fully entered the valley, they attacked.
A rain of arrows covered the valley, and countless orc soldiers fell to the land, but some orc soldiers were lucky enough to find a place to hide and began to fight back.
For a while, the two sides fell into a fierce battle, but what Sylvanas didn't expect was that the orcs still had three teams rushing to this side.
According to her experience, the orcs usually do not have more than 3,000 pursuing troops, but this time they surrounded the 5,000 orcs Sylvanas, and thought that all the orc pursuit troops had been led into the ambush circle.
How could she have thought that because of Thrall's sudden change of attitude, many orc generals were holding back their anger, and they didn't need so many pursuing troops.
However, the orc generals, who were full of anger and had nowhere to vent, saw them as a channel to vent their anger, and only one orc general sent a pursuing force.
But then three more people were unwilling to be lonely and sent a team, and this unreasonable play almost sent Sylvanas and them into the abyss.
Just as Sylvanas was commanding her troops to annihilate the orcs in the valley, her lieutenant ran up and reported to her that three more orc armies were behind them.
At that time, Sylvanas's heart was in a mess, according to her calculations, even if the orcs here were attacked, the orc camp over there would immediately send rescuers, and the orc rescue force would take at least half an hour to arrive.
But why did the orc army come so quickly this time, the gap of half an hour can be said to be the difference between life and death, Sylvanas looked at the bottom of the valley.
Now, although eighty percent of the orcs below have been killed, there are still twenty percent of the orcs who are stubbornly resisting in the corner, if she is given another ten minutes, she is absolutely sure that she will wipe out all the orcs below.
However, because the orc reinforcements arrived half an hour early, her plan could not be successfully completed, and now they must evacuate first.
If they were to be stuck with fifteen thousand orcs, their team of rangers would be very dangerous, even though they were the elite of the High Elves.
But after all, the number of people is too bad, her team plus Selin's team is only more than 8,000 people, of which her ranger team is only about 6,000 people.
This was already the maximum number that their High Elves could put their hands on, and in the previous war with the trolls, the initial losses of the rangers were heavy due to delaying the trolls' attack.
Even her sister Orirea was unfortunately captured, and if it weren't for the unexpected situation later, her sister might have been gone long ago.
Later, the High Elves participated in the Draeno Expedition, and at that time, Prince Kael'thas weighed left and right, and still sent a strong team of 10,000 rangers and 10,000 mages.
At that time, all the races had ceased fighting, and the ranger team of Silvermoon City had also issued a recruitment order throughout the city, replenishing the size of Silvermoon City's rangers to 30,000 again.
However, the orc's attack was too sudden, and the basic training of those newly recruited rangers had not yet been completed, and it would be tantamount to sending them to death if they were rashly allowed to fight.
So Sylvanas came out this time with only 6,000 veterans from the rangers, and arranged the remaining rangers who were still training in the rear training ground.
These 6,000 rangers would definitely be able to torture them to death if they played guerrilla warfare with 15,000 orcs, but once those orcs seized the opportunity to face them head-on, they were by no means the opponents of the orcs.
So even though she desperately wanted to wipe out all the orcs below, Sylvanas's sanity prevailed, and she ordered all the teams to retreat immediately.
After retreating to safety, they will find a second attack, and if everything goes according to her plan, the orcs will definitely suffer a lot tonight.
However, Sylvanas did not expect that the situation on the battlefield would change at any time, and although she was good enough now, she still had a lot less experience than her sister.
If it were her sister, she would definitely take the mage troops before retreating, but Sylvanas thought that Selin and the others should be able to withdraw on their own.
It was such a small deviation that caused all of Sylvanas' ranger forces to withdraw, and Selin and the others were held back by the remnants of the orcs.
When Sylvanas received the report, she knew immediately that the situation was really dangerous, and if she gave up on Selin, she and her rangers would not be in any danger.
But she couldn't do that, and Sylvanas immediately ordered her rangers to be killed with her, and they were sure to get Selyn out of them.
When they rushed back, Selin's forces were still there fighting the remnants of the first orc team, and if the mage's troops were to be approached by enemy infantry, the consequences would be terrible.
Serin's command was not bad, but even now hundreds of magicians have been wounded, and more than a hundred have been killed.
The arrival of Sylvanas filled the orcs with despair, and they knew that they would never survive today, but the raging blood in their bodies made them continue to fight even to the last soldier.
When Sylvanas cooperated with Selin to kill the first orc army, she and Selin found that they could no longer escape, and countless pairs of green light bulbs lit up around them.
These bulbs were the eyes of the Orc wolves, and now that they were surrounded, Sylvanas and Selin smiled wryly at each other, and then looked at their subordinates behind them.
The men all nodded firmly, indicating that they were ready to fight to the end, and Sylvanas drew his weapon and shouted:
"Soldiers, you may not be able to get out today, but we must make those shameless orcs pay a more painful price, it is because they shamelessly tore up the treaty that led to this war, soldiers rush with me!"
