Chapter 267: The Pursuit II
The wolf cavalry, who pursued them all the way, soon discovered that something was wrong. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] They pursued them from morning to noon, and how many miles they pursued and how many hills they crossed, Hirakawa does not remember. But no matter how much they pursued, they couldn't always catch up.
Soon, a wolf cavalry came to report: "Captain Wan, see clearly." Their cavalry was simply lightly armed, each carrying only a bow and a short sword. The streamers were gone, too. β
Erskar screamed in anger, following the usual pursuit. Their wolf cavalry caught up early in the morning, firstly, because they were wearing streamer armor with great weight. The second and main reason. There were too many mercenaries along the way, and civilians helped the Asaka army escape. And the escape along the way seems to have been arranged by the Chaoge Army in advance.
Wherever the cavalry of the Asagaku Army passed, it would immediately become different. They passed the bridge, and the bridge broke. The wolf cavalry watched dozens of bastards jumping into the water, unable to distinguish whether they were mercenaries or civilians, and disappeared after a while. How could the wolf cavalry let a small bridge block their way? Find a way to cross the river right away.
After a toss-up, a similar situation continued. The path that the Asagaku army had walked was suddenly blocked by a large stone rolling down from the mountain. The cave through which the Asagaku army had passed suddenly collapsed again. Even the forest that had entered the Gojun suddenly caught fire.
Erska even wanted to give up, but after a while he saw the shadow of the hateful cavalry of the Asaka Army. In this way, one side is running away, and the other side is chasing. Antares issued a dozen orders in a row: "The troops behind have been dragged too far. Stop the chase now! β
"The wolf cavalry is chasing too fast, and the support behind can't keep up! Slow down. Beware of ambushes! β
"Erska you bastard, call out to the old lady about your troops. The dwarves behind are about to be lost, and they have been lost dozens of times! β
"Captain Erskawanv. I, the Antares Boss, have an order to you werewolves: stop the pursuit immediately and report back! β
Faced with such an order, Erska gritted her teeth and gave up the pursuit. With anger on his face, he turned around and saw Antares, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Our army will be able to hunt them down immediately." If it weren't for the damn mercenaries, the civilians would be in the way, we'd be on the battlefield right now. β
Antares's eyes almost erupted into flames, and he said coldly, "Those damned mercenaries you talked about, civilians, were just when you were chasing the cavalry. They organized a sneak attack on our supply team. β
"How is this possible. Even if it is to escort supplies, there is an escort. Our soldiers won't be able to beat even a group of civilians! β
The dwarven captain Kington still had a cloth belt on his head, and said, "They are definitely not civilians anymore." They are the Asaga. They are all regular Chaoge Army! β
"Asagaku? What our wolf cavalry is chasing is the Chaoge army, where are there other Chaoge troops? That's the distance, you can all be attacked. Guy who eats dry rice for nothing! I don't know how you were chosen to be part of the 12 races. β
"Dog's Erska, if you hadn't led the team like this, our lagging troops would have been attacked?" Kington scolded.
"Hey, hey! You're wrong. It's not me who leads the team, it's Antares Coach! If I had led it, our army would have won a long time ago. Elskar quipped.
"Humph!" Antares sneered twice.
Although Antares tries to avoid the inner part of the race. cracked, but the situation was out of her control. As if as Yi Zheng had foreshadowed at the beginning, the contradictions between the various ethnic groups have been slowly worsening. The mutual distrust and mutual suspicion between their races were exposed in this pursuit.
But no matter how suspicious and disobedient the commanders were, they still had to obey orders in the face of Antares. Antares also immediately began to adjust the ranks, and the belligerent wolf cavalry was forcibly placed in the middle of the army. Put the Giants who obey the order in the vanguard position.
And those short-legged dwarves, during the pursuit battle, when they picked up their baggage, took their weapons and assembled, the wolf cavalry had already rushed out of Shawen City, and there was no shadow left. How do you want such a group of dwarfs with an average height of only one meter and two to catch up with a group of wolf cavalry?
The wolf cavalry used to laugh at the dwarves like this, "Our giant wolf jumps three steps away, which is enough for the dwarves to take a walk after dinner!" "The orcs of the dwarf tribe carrying maces weighing dozens of pounds can't keep up with the fishermen who only hold a harpoon, and they only have envy on their faces when they see the fishermen running around the mountains.
The dwarves walk slowly, so they have always been assigned to the material team and the logistics team. They just need to take it one step at a time. But they didn't expect that after the army of more than 200,000 people was stretched, they actually killed a Chaoge army. They numbered enough thirty thousand, were well-equipped, and had super combat effectiveness.
Kington repeatedly emphasized: "They must be the Chaoge Army." We've all seen the battle flags of the Asaka Army. Moreover, they also have streamer warriors. Their weapons and uniforms are not something that ordinary mercenaries can have. They attacked very decisively. The retreat was also very rapid. As soon as they saw that our orc army had turned back to support, they immediately retreated, without the slightest intention of fighting. β
"Damn the Asaka Army! Do they want to eat us little by little? It's a pipe dream! β
In fact, the same is true for the orc army to be held back by a group of mercenaries. In the past, no matter how the orcs invaded there, they were all invaded by large armies, and there was no grass, and the civilians were eager to give birth to three retreats and escape. This time, they actually began to rebel. As soon as this large army moves, all sorts of problems arise. Either this race is scattered, or there is not enough place for that race's camp. In short, tossing and turning is an opportunity for mercenaries.
So, this army simply slowed down. I didn't walk much every day, and I slowed down. Fang Zheng will be able to walk to Lan City one day and meet Chao Gejun.
Now such a sudden pursuit has caused the Chaoge army to severely damage the material team.
Antares is very troubled by this, if this team of more than 200,000 people is just one race, then she is simply a fierce beast. But now it's made up of six races, in other words, an improvised army.
Just when Antares and the others were discussing, a beast soldier came to report: "Boss, fifteen miles south of the front, I found the Chaoge army!" That's 70,000! β
As soon as he heard this battle report, Kington was about to cry, ". Yes, can you stop the meeting? Can you give people a break for half an hour? I just ran here and haven't stopped breathing. β
Antares frowned and said, "South? β
"Yes!"
Erska immediately came out: "Boss, you stay here. Let my wolf riders chase after me! β
"No, I can't. The other party is 70,000, what if there are also streamer warriors! Let's find out! I'm guessing they're running away again! β
It didn't take long for the messenger to report again. Before he could speak, Kington asked anxiously, "Did that group of Chaoge troops start to camp again?" β
"Yes, sir. But instead of running away, they wanted to attack. β
"What? For this reason, only 70,000 soldiers want to attack our army? I can't bear it. β
Antares muttered, "Why did you appear in the south this time?" Tell the order to go down, and do not panic. The whole army pulled out the camp and advanced to the south, and the Chaoge army dared to meet them and directly crushed them. β
"Yesβ"
I've seen ghosts, but of course I'm afraid of the dark. The orcs were no longer panicked, nor did they rush forward as if they were stunned, because after a few more rushes, they would not even have food for tomorrow's breakfast. The orc army began to advance southward, this time with the giants as the vanguard.
They stride with heavy steps, like giants coming out of the mountains. However, when they saw the Asaga's army, they were still unable to fight. For all they saw was the dust in the sky and the mercenaries who were screaming and fleeing.
"Chao Gejun ran away again?"
"Watch out for their tricks! Don't rush in, we're steadily pursuing! β
Along the way, the Chaoge army seemed to be extremely calm, and they didn't use any tricks, no broken bridges, no landslides, but there were a lot of advertising slogans and sarcastic words along the way. On the trees, on the other side of the river, on the walls of the towns, there were strange slogans written in orc script.
"You are just relying on the wolf cavalry. Shameless dwarves, do you dare to go it alone with me? β
"According to the statistics of the mercenaries: the fishermen who sacrificed the most were the fishermen, and the wolf cavalry who sacrificed the least! However, it was the fox people who never sacrificed. Don't you fox people need to patrol? β
"Antares, our general Yi Zhengqi greets you and wants to invite you to dinner!"
"We'll see you in Lan City!"
"At 3:07 a.m. tonight, our army launched an offensive in the southeast! Warriors of the Minotaur, we meet again. Hahaha! β
In the face of these strange slogans, the orcs who passed by looked unnatural when they saw it. They discussed the two armies in a low voice, which was quickly stopped by the commander.
"These shameless Asaga Army! They deliberately let us follow them! It's their trap! β
Antares thought of this and strictly demanded that the team not act rashly. Therefore, in addition to watching hundreds of advertisements, they were not attacked by any enemy troops at all. Antares also slowly reassured: "Sure enough, as long as we respond to all changes with the same." Then they can't play any tricks at all. β
When night fell, a commander was surprised to find: "Our path has deviated from the original intended path." We're getting farther and farther away from Lan City! β
"I see. They are like luring us somewhere else. Don't let us go to Lan City. β
"They didn't want us to go, so we did! Maybe Lan City has all their treasures! β
Antares made up his mind: "Good! Camp here tonight and rest for the night. Tomorrow we will march to Lan City! β
