Chapter 15 Cutting off supply lines

There are a large number of mages in the human army, and the number of high-level mages has reached five. The dense sound of magic spells in the dark night was like the curse of death, and magic such as ice bursts, red flame throwing knives, and wind blades danced wildly in the narrow space, and the trajectory swept mercilessly like the scythe of death.

The orcs stationed at the Xiguan Pass are not brave, under the command of the captain, chanting the slogan of "Hulamur", and launching a decisive charge against the magic again and again, trying to drive the sneak attack humans off the pass, but under the absolute strength, their bravery only adds some tragic colors to this sneak attack battle.

When the sky turned white, the last werewolf fell under the human arrow.

Jefferson pulled a feathered arrow from the werewolf's chest, wiped the blood off the soles of his shoes, and then called over a herald and commanded:

"Quickly go and report to the archmage, and say that the Xiguan Pass has been successfully taken, and you can start the next step. ”

Jefferson was the person in charge of this operation, and he had been in charge of the defense of the Xiguan Pass, so he was most familiar with the situation at the pass, and the entire sneak attack plan was also formulated by him. In order to ensure the success of this operation, Alan not only selected some elites from the Youth League to participate in the operation, but also sent several high-level magicians such as Elvis and Miranda, especially several high-level magicians of the water system such as Elvis and Frank, who will come in handy in the next operation.

"Everyone took the time to rest, and in the afternoon we continued on the road. ”

After the herald left, Jefferson arranged for those involved in the sneak attack to rest for a while. At noon, when reinforcements from the lower part of the mountain arrived, they handed over the pass and immediately descended the mountain along the pass on the north side. In the evening, they were already on the banks of the Capra River.

"Are you really going to cross the river from here?"

In the twilight, looking at the raging Capra River, Jefferson asked Elvis.

When the Capra River arrives, the drop suddenly widens, and the current becomes so fast that even experienced boatmen cannot sail in such a fast water.

"This is the best position, further downstream, although the water is gentle, it is easy for orc scouts to spot. ”

It was Elvis who spoke and was the head of the team of magicians in this operation.

"It's just too dangerous to do that. Do you want to use one of those flying boats?"

"There are too few ships to use for herald and reconnaissance. But don't worry, with a few of our high-level water magicians, you should be able to guarantee that nothing goes wrong. ”

In addition to Elvis, Elton, Sean, and Frank, who came together, are also high-level water magicians.

"Good!"

Seeing that Elvis was full of confidence, Jefferson said no more and ordered to camp on the spot.

After all night, Jefferson arranged for his soldiers to cut down trees in the dense forest by the river, and by noon four large rafts had been built.

"Take out those magic circles for me. ”

Elvis instructed several soldiers to open the wooden box they were carrying with them and take out four magic array disks from inside. This is the Hydro Magic Circle, and the delicate and graceful runes on the magic array indicate that they are the work of the world's greatest alchemist, Alan Kanter.

"I'll try it first!"

Elvis set up the four rafts with a water magic array, then ordered his soldiers to push the rafts into the river, and jumped on one of them. He tested his balance on it, then slowly chanted a magic spell as the raft left the riverbank and headed for the rapids, propelled by the water-resisting magic.

"El, be careful. ”

Watching Elvis on the raft undulate with the waves, Jefferson was a little worried, but Elton's explanation relieved him.

"Don't be afraid, he has a floating magic array on his body, and he won't fall into the water. ”

Although he was not afraid of capsizing, Elvis was still cautious. Strange to say, the raft in the rapids showed no signs of capsizing, but traveled very smoothly, and it took less than half an hour to cross the river more than 200 paces wide. Elvis, who arrived on the other side, did not stop, and immediately floated back in the raft.

"Take it slowly, there's no problem, you guys are familiar with it. ”

Elvis jumped ashore and handed the raft to Elton, and Sean and Frank jumped on the other rafts and became familiar with controlling the water magic circle in the rapids. After two round-trips, all four men were already proficient in maneuvering the raft across the river, and it was only then that Jefferson was relieved to let the cavalry lead the horse to the raft, and then be sent to the other side of the river.

"Sanders, I'll leave it to you on the other side of the river, and we'll send it to the other side at the agreed time. ”

Elvis sent the last boatload of cavalry to the other side and waved to the leader of the group, Sanders, who was the commander of the Cadet Corps, whose soldiers were prairie boys who had been proficient in equestrianism since childhood.

----------------------------------------------------------

"General Qiyu, our logistics supply team has been attacked. ”

When the first warrior of the orcs, Nag Rus, was discussing with a group of his subordinates in the headquarters how to recapture the Xiguan Pass from the humans, suddenly a scout came in in a panic to report.

"What!?"

Nag Ross was also shocked when he heard this.

"Who did that, and where did you attack us?"

After careful questioning, Nag Rushi realized that it was a company of human cavalry on the north bank of the Capra River, and they were coming and going like the wind on the grassland to attack their supply team, causing heavy casualties to the supply team, not to mention the supply materials, and the supplies were burned by them.

"How can human cavalry appear on the steppe?"

The Valen Pass is in his own hands, as is the only ferry crossing nearby. Except for the ferry, there was no suitable place for boating in the upper and lower reaches of the nearby Capra River, how did the human cavalry get to the north bank, and it was a large group of cavalry?

"Someone, send an order for the wolf cavalry to quickly cross the river and destroy the human cavalry. ”

The top priority now is not to think about how the human cavalry crossed the river, but to eliminate this cavalry wing as soon as possible, if you want to hold the Valen Pass for a long time, the logistics supply must not be cut off, otherwise the orc army can only hold out for a month at most in the Valen Pass, and then they will starve.

The commander of the wolf cavalry wing, who received the order, immediately set out, but just as they crossed the pontoon bridge laid between the ferries, suddenly four rafts came down the river and headed straight for the pontoon bridge.

"It's human!"

The orc screamed in surprise. A wolf cavalry archer immediately bent his bow and shot at the humans on the raft, but a wall of water suddenly rose around the raft and blocked all the bows and arrows.

"Boom! boom!"

Several large fireballs flew out of the raft and hit the pontoon bridge just in time, raising a pillar of fire into the sky. The pontoon bridge broke into a few knots with a roar, and the wolf cavalry on it fell into the icy waters of the river in late autumn and were quickly swept away by the torrent.
