Chapter 265: Nightfall
The wind is urgent, the clouds are moving, the night is dark, and the stars are hidden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Darkness obscures the view of humans and provides the best cover for the orcs.
On the first day of the battle, night solstice.
The orc army, the commander was seriously injured and unconscious, woke up and slept three or four times, when the crescent moon appeared in the sky, the deputy commander of the orcs, the commander of the 100,000 army, Sagre Yeru sat up suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the resentment highlighted two words: beheading, night attack!
Immediately, Sagre Yele fell heavily on the bed, like a scene of returning to the light, so that the army of 100,000 quietly brewed, among them, the assassination team composed of ten spirit-level powerhouses, loyal soldiers divided into two ways, loyal to carry out the beheading operation.
During the night attack, two second-line orc heavy infantry legions quietly approached the river valley by night.
There was always a trace of uneasiness beating in Ye Xiaofei's heart, looking around, it was an endless darkness that made people fearful, the torches on the human side were bright, eager to illuminate every inch of the place, on the contrary, the beast camp was dark, revealing an unknown danger.
The enemy is dark and we are clear, danger is everywhere, and it can happen at any time.
"Girl, how many elven guards do you have left?" Ye Xiaofei looked at Ye Xiaodie, who was full of exhaustion, and suddenly felt a tingling in her heart, which made her suffer.
Ye Xiaodie was in a strong spirit, frowned, and said sadly: "Brother, we were chased and killed by the wolf cavalry, and there were less than fifty of the six hundred people left, and there were only seven moon elf guards left. β
The moon elves have night vision, and their eyesight is excellent, they are sentry, and the orcs have absolutely no chance to get close to the cliff, but, seven people, for a huge front, is insignificant!
"Ask them to help us patrol around, seven, all, and we always feel that something bad is going to happen tonight." Ye Xiaofei thought for a while, and said to the herald behind him: "Order, the Fifth Legion, join the vigil team, and at the same time, notify the First and Second Legions, double the sentry, double the patrol, double the dark sentry, every hundred meters of cliff, from time to time like a fireball is thrown forward for illumination." β
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Even when all the people in charge of the maneuver tonight were pressed to the battle line, he still felt uneasy, on the contrary, even more intensely.
The Broken Dragon Cliff defense line, there are a total of five legions, two legions are on duty during the day, two legions are on duty at night, and one legion is drawn out as an emergency maneuver. That is, the general reserve, but, at this time, before the battle, the reserve was pulled into the line, which is a very rare thing.
"Brother, you're too nervous, now you're ten steps and one post, and the patrols patrol each other, and the orcs can't fly even if they have wings. Rest early, tomorrow, the orc army will definitely attack. Ye Xiaodie supported Ye Xiaofei, in her opinion, the commander of the seriously injured orc army has no leader, tonight, there is no war.
"Hope is my delusion." Ye Xiaofei got up from the chair, looked back at the dark world under the cliff, and laughed at himself: "It's me who thinks too much." Let's go, let's untie our clothes! β
The tent was simply furnished, with a long conference table and a huge military map hanging up, which looked a little empty, but fortunately, on the top of this hill, there was a small tent nestled next to the tent. There are only these two tents on the entire mountain, but the patrol and the sentry can almost reach each other, which is the arrangement of the first army commander: protecting the commander is the first task of the whole army, especially a command headquarters so high, that people are always worried about it.
Ye Xiaofei, with a noble status, is on the front line, he doesn't have to do anything, as long as he doesn't die, he will sit there, he will be the anchor of the entire army, stabilize the collapsed military heart, and guide the direction of the army's progress. The phrase 'I am with you' is vividly embodied. However, he is a thorn in the side of the orcs, not to mention that he ordered to bombard the enemy of the orc commander, just talking about the situation, as long as Ye Xiaofei is killed, the morale of the human army will inevitably plummet.
Even, once Ye Xiaofei's Dinghaishen Needle collapses, it is not a dream for human beings to break themselves.
On the west side of the Broken Dragon Cliff, an inconspicuous cliff is extremely steep, and in many places it even exceeds a 90-degree angle, and the cliff is as high as 90 meters. The cliff is like a moat, and it is difficult for the orc army to climb the cliff.
But, even so, there is still a team of fifty-two people patrolling around this cliff with torches.
"Hoohoo ββββββ"
A flaming torch was thrown off the cliff to gain visibility and see if any orcs were approaching.
The flames shone in all directions, and suddenly there were figures clinging to the cliffs, unifying the leather armor blades, and watching the torches fall from less than three meters away from them, and even, they could see that the ropes of the torches were burning, which was black.
"Safety!" At the top of the cliff, a team leader signaled safety, and the twelve team members behind him withdrew their gazes one after another, leaving the mouth of the cliff where the orcs were hanging.
The orcs are extremely insidious, and choose to climb the steepest cliff, this section, standing at a steep angle of more than 90 degrees, is extremely dangerous, but it provides them with natural cover, even if they are illuminated by torches, but it is a blind spot. That team of human soldiers was already very dutiful, but he never imagined that the orcs hanging on the cliff were the existences they looked up to: spirit-level orcs!
Puff puff puff
As soon as the team walked out of less than ten meters, a sharp weapon cut the throat through the heart, silently, including the captain, thirteen soldiers fell down with fear and unwillingly, just staring at the direction of the tent with worried eyes, and the voice of warning could only echo in their hearts: Marquis, danger!
"Roar, go!" An orc roared, and the ten spirit-level orcs stepped on the fire torch and disappeared into the vast night, as if they had never appeared.
The orc army, two second-line heavy armor orc legions silently stopped outside the firelight, less than five hundred meters, black and oppressive, hiding in the night, but each of them could see the busy humans on the cliff, and the handsome banner that hunted and sounded. With a single charge, they can crush the defenseless human army in front of them, and the only reason they have to wait here is nothing more than the decapitation of the orcs, they believe that the countdown has begun to send out the ten spirit-level orc powerhouses, the heads of the enemy commanders, and their lives. You will never see the sun the next day.
Ye Xiaofei lifted the curtain and smiled apologetically at Ye Xiaodie: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the place is shabby, and you have suffered." β
Ye Xiaodie laughed and scolded for being inserious, rubbing her sour arm, full of happiness despite suffering.
The place is really simple, the two of them don't even have hot water to wash their feet, and they sit and look at each other, and they don't know what to do.
"I'll rub it for you." After Ye Xiaofei got closer, he began to pinch Ye Xiaodie's arms and legs, and smiled apologetically: "Are you tired during the day?" It's water and fruit, let you do this, it's hard for you to do this. β
"Brother, today's rogue performance, is it to attach importance to the other party strategically and despise the other party tactically, so as to provoke the other party and make the other party make impulsive moves?"
Ye Xiaodie showed an expression of enjoyment and pointed to her shoulder, Ye Xiaofei suddenly moved his hands to the other party's shoulder, pinched it lightly, and said in slight surprise: "Girl, can you see it?" However, today I lost a big fish, and no matter how tired I was, it was worth it. Otherwise, there would have been a river of blood by now. β
"You mean the orc? Just a pawn. Ye Xiaodie leaned back in Ye Xiaofei's arms, the whole person was completely relaxed, enjoying the massage unguarded, serving Ye Xiaofei during the day, really tired.
"That person, I've seen it," Ye Xiaofei remembered the bombardment of the enemy's headquarters the day before, and said with a smile: "Last night, I came out of Suggs City, and happened to pass by the orc tent, this guy's name is Sagru Yale, the commander of the 300,000 army of the orc. The road is narrow, he is good at everything, but he can't get along with the cannonballs, he just finished eating the cannonballs last night, and today he has a fart running out to show off his might. β
As he spoke, Ye Xiaofei's hands were not honest, he put his hands up and down, grabbed his defenseless mouth, and poured out his *******Brother, don't," Ye Xiaodie struggled, blushing, only a cloth away, there were all night vigil soldiers outside, as many as thousands, this small tent, but there was not the slightest sound.
Ye Xiaofei's sleeves flicked, and the palm wind suddenly blew out the lights. Roll over and crush Fluttershy completely under her.
"Damn it!" Eight hundred meters away, an inconspicuous bush suddenly sounded a frustrated bottom drink, a sniper crossbow with a glittering treasure in his hand hung down weakly, and an orc with a fox tail and black fluffy fox fur pounded the ground in annoyance. Eight hundred meters, the core range of the human army's vigilance. There was no human alarm at all.
Puff puff puff
Soldiers continued to fall, and a squadron of 156 men stationed here lay on the ground.
Obviously, in the competition of quality and quantity, quality undoubtedly wins. Ten orcs attacked one hundred and fifty-six human soldiers, and the whole army was wiped out, and not even a single insignificant warning could be issued.
Avatar level! Duel - Strong civilians!
That's right, the city defense force is the strength of civilians. Humble as grass, Ye Xiaofei is leading a bunch of herbs to fight with orcs.
Strength is like a chasm, and civilians are the lowest level of strength, and above it, they are: junior glorious spirits, intermediate glorious spirits, high-level glorious spirits, and spiritual-level powerhouses known as the strong. Not to mention anything else, ten civilians couldn't defeat one junior glory spirit, one hundred and fifty-six civilian soldiers, and they were attacked by ten spirit-level powerhouses, and the result was nothing more than this: death, without a trivial moan.
On the other hand, in terms of the legions, the non-influent legions are composed of Ping Ming, and the third-line legions are a mixture of junior glory spirits and civilians. The second-tier legions are all Glory Spirits, a mix of intermediate and junior Glory Spirits. The first-line legion is a mix of high-level and middle-level glorious spirits. In other words, at present, the Orcs sent two second-line legions, still hoplites, ready to sneak attack an unsuspecting human defender composed of civilian strength.
Although Ye Xiaofei occupies a favorable geographical position, the danger of the Broken Dragon Cliff cannot be called a curse, but it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although he developed a strategy that bordered on the shock. The silent use of tactics on the battlefield even unexpectedly inflicted heavy losses on local commanders. All kinds of victories still can't hide the shortcomings of strength. If, the human king-level legion stationed in Suggs City, the Glory Legion, replaced the civilian defenders, Ye Xiaofei would not hesitate to give the order at that time: the whole army will assault and take advantage of the situation to destroy the army of 100,000 orcs on the whole line. However, he didn't, he only had ten civilian legions in his hands that were as humble as grass.
However, Ye Xiaofei's pressure is heavier than any human being, and the inner struggle is more painful than ever: orcs don't need to be captured, they don't need to surrender. The five thousand wolf cavalry staring at him did not dare to order a retreat.
He, too, can't retreat. Once he takes half a step back, he is the sinner of history, the sinner of mankind.
Drinking wine and eating fruit at the mouth of the cliff, despising thousands of troops and horses, very majestic. But, who can understand his pain? Except for Fluttershy.
The battle of Broken Dragon Cliff, to put it mildly, is about the success or failure of the Guards Legion, the White Tiger Legion, and the Xuanwu Legion to attack the base camp of the beast clan, and the life and death of the Norson Kingdom.
To put it mildly, in this battle, the Broken Dragon Cliff was defended, and the orc base camp besieging the city of Suggs was trampled down. The army of 100,000 orcs in front of him is a rootless tree, and in addition, the Dragon Tooth City on the way to retreat north is still flooded at this time, and there is no hope of returning north. Only go south, but, as soon as the siege of Suggs City is lifted, it will be the Tenglong who has escaped from the trap, directly cutting off the main army of hundreds of thousands of orcs who have entered the Fire Dragon Kingdom, at that time, there will be the army of the Fire Dragon Kingdom that is struggling to support in the south, and the army of the Norsen Kingdom in the north will be wiped out if the army of the Norsen Kingdom is sandwiched in the south. The Western Front was confiscated by the orcs. The Fire Dragon Kingdom, the Norson Kingdom, immediately freed their hands, and tens of millions of troops, whether it was westward to attack the hypocritical Bright Saint Kingdom, or eastward to shock the Elven Kingdom, or detour through the Swadia Kingdom to begin an expedition to recover the Sultan of Salander. Stabilize the battlefield on the Eastern Front, which is in full rout.
In short, defending the Broken Dragon Cliff can reverse the unfavorable situation of the entire human race.
The pressure in Ye Xiaofei's heart can be imagined, but he didn't dare to say it to anyone, so he could only bury it in his heart and endure it silently. His pressure was so great, but he wanted to be a hippie smile, pretend to be a scoundrel, sit in a chair, and pretend that there was nothing. When the Orc commander Sagru Yaru was seriously injured, he even felt that God had not abandoned him. But, now, he knew, it was just an illusion: God had abandoned humanity.
"Girl," in the dark tent, Ye Xiaofei's crazy bestiality disappeared with Ye Xiaodie's refusal, only in this darkness that no one saw, he dared to show painful and desperate eyes, and said bitterly: "We may not be able to do without." Will you die here, are you afraid? β
Ye Xiaodie touched her resolute face with pity, she was obsessed for a long time as if she didn't hear it, and the whole person snuggled in Ye Xiaofei's arms lying on the ground, shook her head, and showed a sad smile: "Brother is not afraid, and your girl is even more afraid." No matter what happens, just be with your brother. That's it. β
"Being able to meet you is the luckiest thing in my Ye Xiaofei's life." Ye Xiaofei smiled, revealing a hint of longing, a desire for light and a future.
"I understand you."
Ye Xiaofei was startled, and two black shadows slammed in.
"It's Zidian and the finch." Ye Xiaodie held down Ye Xiaofei's hand on the sword and explained.
"Meow Meow ββββββ"
"Twitter-twitter--twitter--"
The purple electric meow was uneasily circling around Ye Xiaofei, and the five-colored finches were flying uneasily above Ye Xiaofei's head.
"Buzz--"
The Crystal White Soul Devouring Dragon Bee suddenly joined the panicked sequence, hovering around Ye Xiaofei as if it were circling a satellite.
"Girl, get out of here now, quick." Ye Xiaofei got up, broke the tent with a sword, didn't dare to walk out from the front, and came out in rags.
"All on alert! The heralds immediately notified the First Legion, and the Second Legion rushed to help. β
The orderly soldiers were shocked: what happened?
"Yes! Lord Marquis! The herald subconsciously responded, but he was killed.
Burst!
A sharp arrow came out through his chest, and his residual power was undiminished, striking Ye Xiaofei Tianling Gai.
Buzzββββ
Bangββββ
The Crystal White Soul Eater Dragon Bee slammed into the dark arrow, but failed to break it, and the sharp arrow grazed Ye Xiaofei's cheek and disappeared into the night sky.
"There's an Assassinβ"
"Alert ββββββ"
"Protect the Marquis--"
The sharp warning pierced the silence of the night sky, but it was like an order to attack the orc army. The heavy footsteps of the heavily armored orc infantry resounded throughout the night sky, and the swarming orcs, like a torrent of black steel, rushed towards the river.
