Seeing that the cavalry had successfully completed the previous plan, Li Ran nodded to Tang Shi on his side, who walked down the wall, opened the gate of the territory with Wu Tongtong and the others who had already assembled, and led more than 30 archers and more than 10 soldiers with shields to line up neatly and ran out with broken steps.

Of these more than thirty archers, 20 of them were eighth-order archers brought back by Dorik, and the other dozen or so were some hunters who were good at longbows and crossbows in the territory that Li Ran bought, and the archers brought by Li Ran were of a slightly lower rank, with an average rank of only about six or seven ranks. As for the dozen or so shield bearers, they were improvised and beaten.

This team, under the leadership of Tang Zhi and Wu Tongtong, ran to a place about a hundred meters away from the territory and stopped, and the shield players at the front quickly formed a simple defense line, after Tang Zhi shot the first arrow, the archers behind started the first round of attack, and Wu Tongtong left some mana to pay attention to the situation around him at any time after performing the limb mutation technique on several archers, in case of accidents.

I have to say that these archers have been used by Doric and other priests to enhance their state skills before leaving the territory, and they are full of energy at this time, and the first few rounds of salvos are quite a bit of an elven arrow array, which is accurate and ruthless, and in an instant, the orc tribe in front of the other party fell down.

As the leader of the orc tribe, it was originally a very common thing to collect some supplies from the villages passing by, but I didn't expect the other party to dare to fight back, although the centaur on the left was suddenly attacked by the other party, but he didn't care, although the other party's strength was not weak but the number was limited, with the speed of his own leopard warriors, these dozen cavalry would sooner or later be chased and killed by the leopard warriors behind him.

And at this time, seeing that the other party was so arrogant, even the archers dared to send out the city to fight, and the leader of the orc tribe finally couldn't sit still. He looked at the leopard warriors who were still chasing the cavalry in the distance. With the consent of the two prophets, the dark-faced and burly leader of the leopard men ordered his guards to sound the horn of attack.

Although the orc team was not strictly disciplined, they did not hesitate to act, and after hearing the horn, the entire orc team poured out like a flood that opened the floodgates. Their first target was the archers not far away.

As they expected, when they saw them rushing over, this group of cowards who only dared to shoot from a distance immediately chose to flee, which made them even more excited, but the traps that kept popping up under their feet made the orcs who rushed to the front trip a lot, and even caused the speed of the whole team to drop a lot, and they watched the other party flee back, and the gate of the territory slowly closed.

The orc tribe is always a race of warriors, and they stare at each other with red eyes in battle. In their eyes, the wooden gates of such a territory, no matter how thick they are, will not take long to be smashed open by the heavy hammers and axes in their hands, and the entire orc army is even more crazy when they think of the benefits of attacking the city.

However, the actual results were beyond their expectations, and they did not wait for them to approach the city gates. Suddenly, some guys dressed in robes and pointed hats gathered from the city wall, and I saw that from their hands, one by one, the magic light balls were rapidly formed. In the voice of some orcs who exclaimed the magician, I saw that under the shout of an old man in a fiery red robe who led it, a series of fireball ice blades were smashed down in an instant.

Compared to the archers who use bows and arrows, even high-level elite archers, these rough-skinned orcs are not afraid, but they are very afraid of the mage's spell attack at this moment. Unlike the mysterious and special Orc Clan of Zeriramo, who were born without much control over Yuansuo, they are just like ordinary people when facing spell attacks, but they are only physically stronger.

The sudden mage attack caused the orcs to be in a panic, and they finally continued to attack the city gate amid the shouts of several small bosses. And the archers who returned to the territory on Li Ran's side also went to the wall sentry post one after another and started the first round of attacks.

The leader of the leopard people and the prophet realized that the situation was not good at this time, the other party had obviously premeditated, although they intended to withdraw their troops, but their adventurous nature still made them order the leopard team and centaurs who were chasing the cavalry to stop the attack, and lead the giants to fully cooperate with the orc troops to attack the territory, and one of the prophets even rode a giant beast and prepared to support under the protection of two guards.

However, before he could go far, a long arrow came at him, and although it fell far away, it stopped the prophet in his tracks. It turned out to be the cavalry team led by Xia Houben and Shadow Blade, and after they found that the pursuing leopard warriors and centaurs had withdrawn to attack the territory, they turned back as originally planned, targeting the leopard leader and the prophet, of course, not to kill them, but to drag them as much as possible.

As orc leaders and prophets, although most of the orc warriors were fighting on the front line at this time, they still had dozens of guards by their side, plus the warriors who escorted the convoy. What's more, they themselves have extraordinary strength, although Xia Houben and their rank is not low, but if they are tough, the victory or defeat is really not certain, even if they win, there will be relatively large casualties, not to mention that Li Ran's task for them is to drag these people as much as possible.

As Li Ran, who has a small number of troops, when formulating the plan, he also tried his best to make the best use of people and materials. As a cavalry who is good at attacking, it is really not useful in the defense of the city, and it is a great achievement for him to be able to drag the enemy in the field and play a key role, not to mention that these knights have made a contribution before, eliminating nearly half of the centaurs who pose the greatest threat to the defense of the city.

At this time, the cavalry team led by Xia Houben, who kept wandering around the orc leader, really lived up to Li Ran's expectations and successfully controlled the big men of these orc tribes.

On the side of the main battlefield, Li Ran and the others had the upper hand, except for some soldiers who were hit by the orcs with stone short bows, which were deliberately reinforced by the old village chief Morga, and even clamped into many fine iron long gates, which were still not broken by the orcs' repeated attacks, buying precious time for the mage archers on the wall. Arrows and spells rained down, and even villager guards brought big stones from time to time to drop them.

Seeing that the city gate could not be captured for a long time, the companions around him fell one after another, and the morale of the orc warriors was once again bruised, and the timid ones were ready to retreat, until they saw the leopard warriors who were carrying dozens of giants and centaurs in the rear. For these leopard warriors who are at the core of the tribe, they are deeply aware of the strength of the other party. Together with the centaurs, they control the opponent's archers and mages. It is believed that the giants will be able to smash open the gate of this damaged territory in a few clicks. At that time, as long as they enter the territory, what will be able to stop them in this small territory!

However, the actual situation disappointed them again, although the rapid arrival of the centaurs reduced the number of enemy attacks on the city walls, but as the centaurs and half-sheep fell from time to time, the orcs clearly realized that the enemy's ranged troops had the upper hand in terms of numbers and rank. What made them even more frightened was that the giant who gave up the long attack and rushed over to break through the gate for the first time had not yet come, only to hear a "whoosh", a steel feather more than a meter long flew out from the city wall, and shot at the giant who walked in front, although he blocked it with his arm to avoid the vital point, but still pierced through his body, and he did not die for a while but also lost the ability to fight again.

And at the same time that the orcs were stunned, another steel long feather flew out, this thing not only cost Li Ran a lot of village material gold coins, but also cost a lot of energy of the hunter leader Histen, the whole body is made of fine iron, tungsten flakes as feathers, and the arrows are forged from scarce moire steel, so far a total of 8 have been made. Before launching, the Shadow Blade was coated with homemade venom, and the target was still aimed at the approaching giant.

The giant with a wide body of more than three meters tall is undoubtedly a good target, after seeing the bad situation of his companion in front of him, although he was already on guard, Kegahi, who was also well prepared, hit the target again, and this time the character exploded, directly piercing the latter's vital point, seeing the giant slowly fall to the ground, so that both sides who were fighting couldn't help but gasp.
