Chapter 432: Take it when you see it

"Watch out, enemy arrows. ”

While the soldiers were busy cutting their heads and receiving their rewards, suddenly there was a hissing of arrows in the sky, and the orc reinforcements were in the middle of the water, and when they were two hundred paces away from the riverbank, the lizardmen archers on the boat began to bend their bows and shoot.

Upon hearing Stanny's order, the soldiers of the Cadet Regiment immediately put down the orc corpses in their hands and retreated to the reeds far from the shore, looking for cover.

The lizardmen's arrow attacks lasted for three rounds, and did not cause serious damage to the Youth League, but the purpose of the orcs was still achieved, and nearly a hundred bamboo rafts sent nearly a thousand orc warriors to the shore again, and as soon as the soldier bamboo rafts were put down, they immediately turned around to pick up the second batch.

"Shoot!"

It wasn't until all the orcs were ashore that Stanny gave the order to attack, at a distance where the archers could kill and wound the orcs without throwing but just firing, but the orcs were not stupid and learned the lesson of the crushing defeat of the first group of troops waiting for the shore, and each of their soldiers was equipped with a shield.

"Stop shooting!"

Seeing that the archers' damage to the orcs was very limited, Stanny immediately ordered to stop the arrow strikes and wait for the enemy to attack before looking for a good opportunity, but to his surprise, the nearly 1,000 orc brigade only set up a defensive formation on the river bank and did not immediately turn into an offensive state.

The orc commander obviously knew that the human army ambushed in the reeds was not easy to deal with, so he was very cautious, and when the enemy situation in front of him was unknown, he did not rush to give the order to attack, but waited for more orc troops to be sent ashore, and during this time, they were not worried if the human army took the initiative to attack, because the human army would be exposed to the range of the lizard archers.

"It turns out that orcs are just a group of shrunken turtles, I don't think we should call them werewolves, minotaurs, lizardmen, or half-orcs in the future, just call them turtle people. ”

I don't know who shouted in the reeds, followed by a group of people laughing, so angry that the orcs by the river bared their teeth and jumped like thunder, but under the constraints of the captain, they still firmly maintained a defensive formation.

"Huh, think I'll be helpless to do anything to you if you keep your head in your shell?"

Seeing that his agitation plan was ineffective, Stanny not only did not get annoyed but smiled:

"Magician, prepare, let's burn the turtle today. ”

Stanny called over a few magicians standing behind him, led by an old acquaintance, Allen's apprentice Feige, who had just been promoted to a high-level fire magician. In addition to himself, Fei Qi also brought a few magic apprentices this time, all of whom were ungraduated students from the Academy of Magic, good at fire magic, and the level of a junior magician. Stanny and Feige confessed, and then Feige disappeared into the reeds with the students under the protection of the soldiers.

A gust of wind swept across the riverbank, rustling the reeds. The orcs stared nervously at the swaying reeds, but they were concerned about whether an arrow would suddenly fly out of the reeds or rush out of a soldier, and they did not pay attention to the direction of the wind, but this late autumn season was supposed to blow a northwest wind, but now it was a south wind.

"What does it smell like?"

One of the werewolves in the orc array twitched his sensitive long nose and asked with a frown.

"I smell it too. ”

"It smells like burning!"

"Oh no! it's on fire, it's on fire!"

One flame sprang up from the reeds, followed by the second, third, and fourth, and a total of ten flames lined up in the reeds.

Late autumn is the dry season of the Capra River, the water level has receded under the reeds, the reeds have become very dry and flammable, in the case of fire, "crackling" sound, ten fire points soon turned into sky-high flames, connected under the action of the south wind, spread in the direction of the river bank.

"OMG!"

"Beast God bless!"

"Hurry up and run for your life!"

Thick smoke mixed with heat rolled in, and the orc ranks were in chaos, and they didn't have to wait for the skyrocketing fire to reach the shore, just the choking smoke and the scorching heat wave were already unbearable. They tried to flee for their lives, but there were not enough rafts on the shore, and they had no choice but to jump into the icy water, and were carried downstream by the current, floating half a mile away, before they managed to escape from the flames, but as soon as they got out of the water and tried to climb ashore, a rain of deadly arrows shot from the nearby reeds, and the river on the bank was immediately stained red with the blood of the orcs. The orcs in the back did not dare to dock and could only swim towards the center of the river, the water in the center of the river was very turbulent, and many people were swept away by the rapids, but fortunately, the orcs on the opposite bank saw that the situation was not good and sent a bamboo raft to the rescue, only to rescue a small half of the orcs who fell into the water.

The fire burned for four hours before it was gradually extinguished, and the once lush reeds turned into a black clearing, with grass ash swirling and flying overhead.

Seeing this scene, the orcs sent their troops to cross the river again, and Stanny originally wanted to take advantage of the power of the first victory to fight the orcs on the riverbank again, but at this time, a scout came to report: while the orcs were crossing the river at Kurusi Bay, the two bays upstream and downstream a few miles away were also crossing the river at the same time, and the orc army that had completed the crossing was outflanking them from the upper and lower reaches.

"Withdraw!"

This ambush battle annihilated more than 1,000 enemies with minor casualties, successfully delaying the orcs' advance to Capra Pass, and had already achieved the expected results. Stanny decided to take it as soon as he saw it, and ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and return to Capra Pass immediately.

"Listen to the orcs on the other side, grandpa, my name is Stanny Andy, I am the deputy head of the Youth League guarding Capra Pass, I have a good time here today, but our other deputy head has not played yet, and when you get to Capra Pass, we will play with you together, and I guarantee that you will never come back. ”

Stanny was the last to leave the riverbank, standing on the river's edge and shouting at the other bank, and having Feige use amplification magic to transmit the sound so that every orc could hear it.

The morning after the retreat of the Cadet Corps, a king-size bamboo raft carrying a fierce-looking and imposing orc general arrived on the southern shore of Kurusi Bay.

After landing on the shore, the general, who was like water, led by his subordinates, went to a clearing at the edge of the woods, which was densely packed with the corpses of orcs, most of which were headless corpses.

"A bunch of shit! Who did this?"

Seeing the tragic situation, the orc general slapped an officer next to him who was in charge of directing the river crossing, and then asked with a roar.

"General Drakebar, who claims to be the deputy commander of the Capra Guards, is Stanny Andy. ”

Someone replied.

"Stanny Andy, I'm going to make your life worse than death!"

The orc general chewed Stanny's name in his mouth and slammed his fist into the tree next to him, and the tree, which was nearly a foot in diameter, "clicked" into two under his punch.
