Chapter 565: Return to the Horse Gun
The three major vassal tribes are almost all moving with the strength of the whole clan, except for the swordantle tribe, which has a small population and only a few thousand swordantle pitchers, the dog tribe has invested more than 10,000 dog warriors, and the pig clan has also invested more than 10,000 pig warriors, but for the pig clan, these warriors are just following the patriarch as a striker, and tens of thousands of pig warriors are gathering to come.

This total of more than 30,000 orc warriors was beaten miserably by a human knight order, although the real battle dead are not too many, but in this northern wasteland, it has always been the orcs who dominate the world, except for internal dumping, it is rare to have such a situation today.
After suffering such a big loss, the three patriarchs were about to burst into a rage, even Moro Lijiao, who had always had a calm and calm temperament, couldn't help but twitch a little when he saw the miserable appearance of the clansmen.
However, just when the three patriarchs began to arrange for the clansmen to rescue the wounded and count the casualties, in the Hun cavalry formation that had already fled in the distance, there was a cunning look in the eyes of the veteran. Under the arrangement of the veteran, the Hun cavalry went deep into the wasteland under the leadership of their respective thousand commanders, and surrounded the orc formation in a roundabout way.
In the distant sky, Oka Howling Wind inadvertently noticed the unusual behavior of the humans below, and it was clear that these humans wanted to attack the headquarters of the three major tribes once again. In normal times, out of the principle of mutual assistance between orcs, Oka Howling Wind would definitely warn the three major tribes at the first time, but now...... Oka Howling Wind turned his head to look at the group of bipedal wyverns that were still raging in the Eagle Clan's empty array, and its people were being shot down like dumplings, and Oka Howling Wind's eyes flashed with fierceness.
"Don't blame me for not reporting it, if only our Eagle Clan has suffered heavy losses, wouldn't it seem that the Eagle Clan is too incompetent? If you want to be defeated, let everyone be defeated together, so that His Majesty the Emperor will not only blame our Eagle Clan." Oka Howling muttered, but then it picked up its spirits, and with a short spear in its hand, it took the initiative to meet a two-legged wyvern.
The three major tribes did not fail to place scouts around, but the Hun cavalry, who were also adapted to the grassland environment, used their longbows to shoot from a distance, and uprooted the canine scouts who were in charge of guarding one by one, trying their best to maintain the secrecy of their own actions. Of course, no matter how hidden the Hun cavalry was, after all, the height of the war horse was far higher than the range that the weeds could cover, and when the smell of the Hun cavalry and war horses in the upper hand wafted into the orc formation with the wind, I saw those dog warriors sniff out and immediately bark loudly to warn.
However, it is a pity that the orcs reacted a little late at this time, and the Hun cavalry of the brigade was enough to charge from the orc formation. Seeing that the orcs were alert, the Hun cavalry straightened up from their horses, and under the leadership of their respective thousand commanders, they rode their horses and attacked the orc formation again.
"This is simply a stroke of genius, taking advantage of the laxity after the orc war to attack again, such a command, such a tactic, is enough to be written in the textbook!" In the Dawning Fortress, Prince Grantham saw the movement of the Hun army from a distance on the command platform, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and greatly admired the commander who commanded these cavalry.
Although Li Ao was silent on the side, he was also extremely surprised by the tactical arrangement of this Xiongnu legion in his heart, which was worthy of being a powerful nomadic people who had been at war with the Han Empire for hundreds of years and annexed the Yueshi, Loulan, Wusun, Hujie and other 26 countries in the Western Regions. It seems that this summoning must also have summoned a heroic commander of the Huns.
Unlike the humans in the Dawning Fortress, the three tribal leaders of the orcs were about to torture the human cavalry to the point of madness.
In particular, Drew Blackhoof, who was already more irritable, tried his best to make up for his previous mistakes, and immediately ordered his pig warriors to launch a counter-charge against these human cavalry, and at the same time demanded the full cooperation of the canine warriors.
After a moment's hesitation, Doug Greypaw gritted his teeth and agreed to Drew Blackhoof's request, and the entire orc formation was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and a large number of pig warriors brandished maces, screaming and launching a counter-charge against the human cavalry, and a series of gray slender figures continued to patrol behind them to cover.
The sudden outbreak of orcs caught the Hun cavalry by surprise, but the nature of the steppe knights made them react immediately, and the thousands of people deflected their horses' heads almost at the same time, avoiding confrontation with the orcs, but constantly swam around the orcs, using their bows and arrows to harvest the lives of those orcs.
However, the effect of this attack was obviously not very good, although the Hun army surrounded the orc main formation, but because the manpower was too scattered, the arrow rain was not dense, and it was difficult to deal a fatal blow to those pigmen wearing mud armor.
Without the dense rain of arrows, one or two or even three or four arrows in the middle and upper were not enough to kill these rough-skinned pig warriors, and after they pulled out the arrows casually, the intense pain from their bodies only stimulated these savage and brutal orcs even more, and one by one the pig warriors stared at the scarlet little eyes, desperately screaming and wanting to play with humans. Most of those canine warriors hid behind the pig warriors, using the burly and huge pig warriors as cover to hide their tracks, and constantly approached the human cavalry.
Fortunately, the leader of the Swordantle Clan, Mo Luo Lijiao, was distressed by the large losses of the clan, so he did not send the Swordantle Clan's pitchers to participate in the battle this time, which made the Hun cavalry breathe a sigh of relief. Even if the dog clan and the pig clan are good at running and chasing, they are far from being as tall and majestic as war horses. In the end, the attack ended with the Hun cavalry shooting the last arrow in their hands and reluctantly retreating.
Seeing the Hun army returning from a great victory towards the Dawn Fortress from afar, Prince Grantham hurriedly ordered the gate of the fortress to be opened, and personally led all the generals to the gate to greet these heroes who had beaten the orcs.
The Hun cavalry who had experienced two battles also suffered extremely serious losses themselves, especially those cavalry who were responsible for rushing into the orc formation before, a full 5,000 horsemen, and only about 3,000 could rush out alive, and everyone was wounded, but even so, they still insisted on launching a surprise attack again and fighting with those orcs to the end. The fierce will of these Hun cavalry and the ferocity of their temperament can be seen.
Whether it was the gates of the Dawn Fortress or the walls of the fortress, the defenders of the Divine Griffin Empire stood solemnly and paid their respects to these powerful cavalry who had returned.
