Chapter 791: The First Battle of Xiao Jie
Next, after some of the opponent's troops fled in a hurry, Li Ran only symbolically sent some Barranca air cavalry to chase and kill, and after the black dragon and green dragon had forced those legendary-level berserk dragons and lions to the ground, the four legendary-level nightmare knights rushed over.
And after Qi Li took down these legendary dragons and lions, Li Ran at this time immediately asked everyone to quickly count the battlefield, and then rushed back to the territory non-stop.
Under the rapid march all the way, the team led by Li Ran only took half a day to rush back to the city of Thun, and all the food on the way was delivered to each warrior by the logistics personnel brought out, and as for the undead knights, they distributed some magic cores and spars full of energy.
Fortunately, at this time, the reinforcements from the elven territory had arrived, and after sending these unrecruited prisoners to a special prisoner of war camp to take care of them, Li Ran thought for a while and gave up his plan to urgently recruit them.
Although they were defenseless this time, they captured more than 2,000 minotaurs, more than 500 vulture knights, and about 200 ptarmigans, and the dragon and lion side also successfully captured 37 super-rank dragon lions and 5 legendary-level berserk dragon lions.
If it is recruited urgently, although these troops can increase the number of combat arms by putting them on the battlefield, most of these captured troops are seriously injured, and treating them will require a lot of magic power from the priest, and they may not be able to recover before the barbarian army more than a hundred miles away arrives, and these newly captured troops, even if they are recruited, have no loyalty at all, and the morale is already insufficient. It will also drag down the morale of your own side.
Therefore, out of this consideration, after Li Ran gave up recruiting these prisoners, he immediately summoned the scout leader Histan and asked him carefully about the results of this investigation.
Although the opponent's vanguard has been attacked in advance, the next battle may be inevitable, but it is naturally best to know more about the opponent's troops, so at this time, Li Ran asked very carefully about this scout leader.
And after such a long time, the scout leader who was in charge of the investigation work really lived up to his expectations, although it was only a few days, he still gave Li Ran a relatively detailed information.
Judging from the data, the number of troops of this barbarian tribe is similar to that of the Barranca air cavalry through the air before, but the information in the hands of Histan introduces in more detail the number of several main forces of this barbarian tribe.
This is a barbarian tribe between large and super large, with an overall number of more than 100,000, the leader of the tribe is a minotaur chieftain, and the strength of the entire tribe has reached about 50,000, except for more than 4,000 thunderbirds, of which the minotaur warriors and an elite half-orc group are used as the main combat forces.
Among them, the number of adult minotaur warriors is about 30,000, including about 22,000 high-level minotaur warriors, more than 4,000 top-level minotaur warriors, and more than 700 minotaur warriors who have reached the super level of strength.
What was not seen in the vanguard was that they also found a large number of trained Kodo beasts in the camp in the center of the tribe, and upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that Hisstein and his companions had found a cavalry regiment of about 4,000 Kodo beasts here.
As for the riders above these Kodomon, the Minotaur warriors account for the majority, but there are about a thousand elite half-orc warriors in another kind, and as for the comprehensive rank, they are generally at the top level, of course, there are nearly three hundred of them riding a little larger Kodomon, and the cavalry above are mainly top-rank, or even super-level troops, so it is not excluded that these are super-level Kodomon cavalry.
Speaking of the other elite orc race, although the body size seems to be slightly smaller than the other orcs, their muscles are obviously a little more developed than other similar species, and their strength has generally reached a high level or above, as for the number of troops, it is about fifteen thousand.
Among them, there are about 10,000 high-level warriors among these elite half-orc warriors, and the other 5,000 advanced top-level troops, except for the 1,000 Kodo beast cavalry, all the others have become vulture horse cavalry, and the number is about 4,000.
Next, the scout leader continued: "In addition to these main battle arms, the city lord also needs to pay attention to the subordinate creatures of this tribe, those extra vulture horses are not counted, but in addition to the four thousand Kodo beast cavalry of this barbarian tribe, the number of Kodo beasts has reached about seven thousand, although there are more than 2,000 of them as pack beasts to transport materials, but once they are put into the battlefield, this is also more than 2,000 top-level biological troops."
Li Ran nodded in this regard, he understood in his heart the reason why this scout leader reminded him of the meaning, as a rare creature that can be used as a mount by a heavy minotaur, the Kodo beast itself is a very strong beast, although after training, these Kodo beasts will be slightly smaller than their counterparts in the wild, but their actions and attacks are more ferocious, and because of training, they are far stronger than their counterparts in the wild in terms of physical strength and courage, and every Kodo beast is a small fighting machine on the battlefield.
And after seeing that the city lord said that he knew, the scout leader continued: "There is also the dragon and lion regiment you specifically mentioned, we have confirmed this time that in this barbarian tribe, a total of about nine hundred of these powerful creatures have been found, of which about eight hundred are super-level bodies, and a total of seventy-six are temporarily found in the legend level."
"Didn't you find the hatchlings inside?" Hearing this, Li Ran asked with some curiosity.
The scout leader shook his head with great certainty and said, "No, we have been scouting around this tribe for nearly two days, and we have not found a single juvenile."
Oh, Li Ran opened his mouth and said: "It seems that these dragons and lions were also forcibly recruited by these minotaurs, otherwise there would not be a situation where there are no hatchlings."
And after the scout leader said this, Li Ran also nodded, although these scouts did make a lot of serious mistakes before, but their information was quite accurate in the past two years, so after asking about some of the details, including the number of dwarves in charge of the baggage and the two clansmen, Li Ran left the conference hall with the scout leader and all his teammates after ten minutes.
