Chapter 376: Counterattack and Pursuit
"Freedom to attack!"
With Bolton's order, more than 200 knights and cavalry threw their pike spears at the rapidly approaching half-orc cavalry!
Those orc cavalry came quickly, but they didn't expect the attack of the Giant Rock Castle cavalry wing to come so fiercely and quickly, and they were suddenly shot down by a large number of them.
Their thin leather armor was obviously not enough to defend against the standard weapons of the Boulder guards.
However, this was only the beginning, all cavalry had been trained in pike gun projection, even the new recruits, so the hit rate of the salvo was quite high, forming a complete suppressive blow to the orc cavalry.
Especially the strongest group of elite knights, their level is above level 20, and most of them survived the battle just now, and now they have exerted their powerful attack power.
Many pike spears hit the orc cavalry, directly through the opponent's body, not only shooting it off the back of the ground lizard, but even nailing it to the ground, causing the opponent to die slowly and painfully in the wailing.
But the most powerful is undoubtedly the level 30 Burton, who carries the largest number of shuttle guns, and when he attacks, he holds a shuttle gun with both hands, and then throws the bow left and right alternately, and the gun hits!
At this time, Zhao Xi did not make a move.
He didn't sit idly by and watch others fight, but he was seizing the time to restore his holy power with prayer.
As a paladin, and now a knight of thorns, holy power is definitely the root of power, and there are not many skills that can be cast without holy power. And he had already used up all his holy power before, and he had to replenish it, otherwise the next battle would be even more difficult to fight.
The orc cavalry was more than five times as large as the cavalry wing of the Great Rock Castle, but under the latter's interception of this pike spear, they suffered very heavy casualties, rushing up in batches and falling down in batches.
There were a few fish that slipped through the net, but before they could get closer, they were all shot by Bolton.
The half-orc cavalry is not afraid of death, but the IQ is not very high. I didn't know how to change my tactics after suffering a big loss. Soon on the blow of the cavalry wing, there was a river of blood, and at least hundreds of heads fell!
However, the cavalry wing was limited in the number of shuttle guns it could carry, and after five rounds of volleys, many cavalrymen had already exhausted this long-range strike weapon. The strength and density of the attack were greatly reduced at once.
Take advantage of this opportunity,. Quite a few orc cavalry rushed up. They also threw their weapons.
Call! Call! Call!
Dozens of short axes roared through the air, slashing towards the knights.
The craftsmanship of these short axes is very crude, and the trajectory of their flight is crooked. But the better is that the thrower is powerful, so he is also very threatening.
"Raise your shield!"
The knights who bore the brunt of the attack immediately raised their round shields to protect their vital points or directly blocked the flying short axes, and for a while the sound of crackling was endless.
Zhao Xi's position was very high, so it was inevitable that he would be the first target of the half-orc cavalry, and at least three short axes were shooting towards him.
Looking at the oncoming short axe, Zhao Xi's expression remained unchanged, and without thinking, he raised the shield of destiny that he had already held in his hand, and slapped it out with a shield blow.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The three short axes slammed into the shield one after the other, and although it was only a fraction of a second, it had different effects-
27!
The first two short axes that collided at the same time were directly blocked by Zhao Xi's shield strike, but the third one was powerless, so it did a little damage.
In fact, he is already very remarkable to be able to do this, as long as the shield is a knight, he will use it, but how to use it and when to use it is very particular, and the gap between masters and ordinary players is here.
It's just that although the three short axes were all blocked, Zhao Xi's prayer process was also interrupted.
Looking at the holy power value that he had just recovered to 152 points, Zhao Xi gently knocked the horse's belly with his combat boots, and the obsidian dawn under his crotch suddenly rushed forward like an arrow from the string, and rushed towards the menacing half-beast cavalry without fear!
This horse is worthy of being a 6-star riding pet, and it is extremely fast to start running, and it is also very combative.
"Ahh
A half-beast cavalryman swung the mace he was holding tightly in his hand and slammed it at Zhao Xi, who was rushing towards him, aiming directly at his head.
Obsidian Dawn suddenly accelerated and rushed from the left side of the ground lizard on the opposite side, Zhao Xi leaned back between the lightning and stone fire, and while dodging the mace, the blade of fate in his right hand slashed out like lightning!
Poof!
The razor-sharp blade sliced through the latter's leather armor without any condensation, nearly cutting the half-beast cavalry in half, and the crimson blood splattered out-
325! -365!
Double whammy!
The knight is in a state of sprinting and charging, and his attack power is bonus, and Zhao Xi's knife is absolutely ruthless to the extreme, and the shot is fast and ruthless, not giving the opponent any chance to counterattack at all.
The orc cavalry let out a terrible howl and fell off the lizard's back, unable to move again.
System Prompt: Successfully kill the Orc Cavalry, mission experience +230!
As soon as Zhao Xi pulled the reins, the obsidian horse immediately turned around, quickly circled behind another half-orc cavalryman, and slashed at the back of its neck with a knife in his hand, and then slashed at the head with another knife! -
297! -300!
The second orc cavalry slammed into the street on the spot.
Joyfully!
Zhao Xi felt that this was the battle he really wanted, and he went straight to life and death in an instant.
"Withdraw!"
But at this time, he heard a roar from Bolton.
The Castle Cavalry Wing threw the sixth and seventh waves of pikes, all of which were consumed, inflicting heavy damage and great shock on their opponents.
But there were still hundreds of orc cavalry, and thousands of orc warriors were quickly rushing over, and the figure of the Warcraft commander had already appeared in the pursuing ranks.
In such a situation, Bolton's order came very decisively.
Zhao Xi tightened his grip on the reins, controlled the war horse to change direction again, and quickly caught up with the retreating team.
According to the original plan, after luring the main force of the Orc Legion out of the camp, the cavalry wing would take them as far away from the boulder castle as possible, and once the latter was found to be attempting to attack the castle, they would kill them again in order to entangle them to the death.
The number of the entire cavalry wing was only more than 300 cavalry, and now it has been reduced to more than 200, and the danger of this task can be imagined.
However, at present, under the leadership of Bolton, the cavalry wing has pinned down dozens of times more enemies than themselves, and the orcs have not noticed it at all, and the general boulder castle is evacuating in a big way.
Now all they have to do is take the orc legion in circles, using the advantage of the cavalry to stall for time.
Soon, though, everyone noticed that things were not going well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a burst of heavy footsteps, the speed of the Warcraft Commander became faster and faster, and he actually surpassed the half-orc warriors and the half-orc cavalry one after another, and closely pursued the back of the cavalry wing.
This level 30 boss has amazing physical strength, striding and running, which is in stark contrast to its huge size, giving people a full shock!
Burton's face changed, and he shouted, "Retreat at full speed!" ”
This is to spare no cost, because the Monster Commander will be chasing faster than the ground lizard, and if it continues at this speed, it will not be long before it will catch up with the cavalry wing.
The horses' hooves roared, and the cavalry immediately picked up speed and reopened the distance between them and their pursuers.
But they were not able to get rid of the Warcraft Commander, because the latter's speed actually increased, and the two sides chased after each other, and ran forward for dozens of miles.
"Damn it, damn it!"
The Warlord roared as he chased, waving the long chains in his hands.
Then after a long gallop at high speed, quite a few cavalry began to gradually fall behind, because their horses showed signs of physical exhaustion.
These cavalry are in danger! ――
