Chapter 444: Three Hundred Warriors of Capra Pass
"How many?"
Along the way, Harvey asked as he walked on horseback.
"About five hundred people. ”
The scout, who was following Harvey, replied.
"Do you know where they came from?"
Harvey continued to ask.
"It's not clear. ”
The Scout shook his head.
As far as Harvey knew, there were several paths around Capra Pass that could go around the north of the city, but they were all very secretive, and it seemed that the orcs had found one of them.
I was still a little careless, I shouldn't have withdrawn all the garrisons in the nearby strongholds in the first place, of course, this was also a last resort, the Youth League was short of troops, and in order to hold Capra Pass with all its might, it was necessary to concentrate all the troops.
Just as Harvey was feeling guilty for his previous arrangement, he had seen the orcs appear on the southern wall in the distance.
The orcs came over this time were all elite, and there were a few patrols on the city wall who were not their opponents at all, and they had been cleaned up by them in a few clicks, and followed by a few agile werewolves who jumped off the city wall and prepared to open the city gate from the inside.
"Everyone follow me, we must not let the orc plot succeed. ”
Harvey didn't care to blame himself, he roared, and with the strength of his feet, he rushed towards the city gate first.
"Click!"
The sound of the horse's hooves was sharp, Harvey took off the spear on his horse's back, and with one spear he picked off a werewolf who was about to stop him, and hid in a stirrup, and the sword cut off the head of another werewolf like a long rainbow. But four more minotaurs rushed towards him, and by the time he broke through the minotaur barrier and arrived at the city gate, it was too late, the city gate had been wide open, and the orcs outside rushed in.
"Let them in first. ”
At this time, it was too late to stop the orcs from entering the city, and Harvey simply ordered the orcs to be released into the city gate. His own forces are at a disadvantage, and dragging the orcs into the narrow space of the city gate can make the opponent's superior forces have no room to deploy.
"Up!"
Seeing that the orcs were about to rush to the center of the city gate, Harvey shouted and led the guard battalion to rush in. Three hundred humans and five hundred orcs collided head-on, immediately stirring up blood-colored waves.
The space in the city gate cave is narrow, and the soldiers of the two warring sides not only have no way to retreat, but also cannot flash, and this moment is the courage and perseverance of both sides. Each warrior tried to block the opponent's attack with the shield in his hand as much as possible, and then stabbed the sharp blade of his spear towards the opponent. The sound of weapons colliding, shouting and killing, flesh wounds, blood spurting, and screams echoed in the small space, composing an extremely tragic battlefield music.
"Buzz!"
At the height of the battle, the rear of the Youth League team suddenly remembered a few buzzes, and the two junior magicians released the ice burst magic array made by Allen that they had brought with them, and two shiny ice discs the size of wheels flew into the sky above the orc team and burst open.
"Puff..."
After a muffled sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh, a blood mist rose from the cave of the city gate, and dozens of orcs fell to the ground with serious injuries.
"Kill!"
With the help of magic, the morale of the Boys' Regiments was boosted, and under Harvey's leadership, they launched a frantic counterattack against the orcs with a hoarse throat and red eyes, and under this pressure, the orcs began to retreat continuously.
"Hold on! Hold on!"
Just as the bloodied orc battalion commander brandished his mace to drive his men away in a vain attempt to resist the human attack, a yellow sword light pierced through the crowd and rushed towards him. The orc battalion commander instinctively swung his mace to resist, but he was still a little late, and the sword light slashed off several spikes at the tip of the mace, and then swept over his neck.
The wolf's head flew, the blood column soared into the sky, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang!
The orcs, who had lost their commander, completely collapsed and began to turn around, while the soldiers of the Youth League were in hot pursuit.
"Stop chasing. ”
Seeing that the enemy had lost the ability to continue the attack, Harvey ordered the pursuit to be halted and began to clean up the battlefield. Of the 500 orcs who participated in the battle, more than 300 were killed, and only 100 escaped into the valley. The KCU suffered less than 100 minor wounds, more than 20 seriously wounded, and more than a dozen killed in battle.
Harvey arranged for his men to send the seriously wounded back to the barracks for treatment, and at the same time led people to prepare to close the city gate, since the small force of the orcs can go around to the south of the city, and the large force may also be killed at any time, so the passage into the city must be closed, but in the fierce battle just now, the city gate was damaged by the orcs, and it is no longer able to continue to play the role of blocking the orcs.
"Deputy Commander, it's not good, the army of orcs is coming. ”
Harvey was about to instruct his soldiers to find some rolling wood and rubble to block the hole in the city gate, when suddenly a soldier ran in from outside and shouted in a panic.
"What!?"
Harvey came out of the city in shock, looked up into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a team of centaurs rushing out of the valley where the orcs had fled.
The orc army that appeared was as large as a wing.
"I didn't expect the orcs to come so fast!"
Harvey was taken aback. It seems that the orcs who attacked the city before were only the orc forwards who attacked the southern city, and they originally planned to take advantage of their own negligence to occupy the city gate to open the way for the main force behind, and the wing that arrived now is the main force.
After a day and a night of rapid marching, the two thousand orcs he led finally went around to the south of Capra Pass, and three hundred steps ahead was the southern wall of Capra Pass, the target of this trip. As long as this wall can be occupied, the orc army can attack from both sides and encircle more than 20,000 human defenders in the city that is not dangerous to defend, and avenge the previous defeat. Although he had already received the news of the failure of the attack on the front, the three hundred human defenders could repel five hundred orcs, but it was absolutely impossible to repel two thousand orcs, so he had absolute confidence to take control of the city gate in one fell swoop.
"Brothers, ahead is our goal, Capra Pass, taking it is a great achievement, what are you waiting for. ”
Truk, who felt that the victory was in hand, pointed to the city gate not far away and gave a loud order.
"Rush!"
"Take Capra Pass!"
Seeing that the city gate was wide open, and only a few human soldiers were guarding the city gate, the orcs suddenly became more confident, and as soon as they gave the order, they shouted slogans and rushed towards the city gate.
"The time has come to test the courage of our Godsa sons and daughters, the military flag is here, and today there is only the death in battle and no retreat. ”
Looking at the enemy ten times his size, Harvey, the deputy head of the cadet regiment, showed a resolute look on his young face, he roared, took the flag in the hands of the flag bearer, and slammed the end of the flagpole into the stone slab of the road.
A gust of wind came, and the flag was unfurled with a "bang" and fluttered in the wind.
