Chapter 603: Pursuit

Don't look at the patriarch military meeting, the orc emperor and Clyde sang and discussed well, but in fact, the two of them secretly knew that it was impossible to bypass the defense line of the Dawning Fortress.

Judging from the scale of each invasion, the human reinforcements have only reached a small part so far, and a large number of human legions are still coming here. If it had been before, the orcs could still take advantage of the time difference to catch the Dawn Fortress and beat it up, at least a small part of the reinforcements would have to be eaten. But now that the camp has been destroyed and all the military rations have been lost, if you want to bypass the Dawn Fortress, if you are blocked by a large number of human reinforcements and cannot enter the human hinterland, then the orcs will be really dangerous.

In the military discussion, the reason why the orc emperor decided so much was mainly to lure the defenders in the fortress and the legions guarding the fortress to fight, as long as a field battle, part of the food and grass problem of the orc army could be solved...... After all, orcs are not picky eaters.

But then the servant sent by Dick Gus surprised the orc emperor, whether it was true or not, it was not harmful to the orcs anyway, if there was really a traitor in the human race, and if the city gate could be opened from the inside, then it would be a surprise for the orcs.

The huge orc army took advantage of the early morning to round the Fortress of Dawn and make a large circle around the wasteland, heading towards the hinterland of the southern human race. Such an unexpected action by all the human officers really attracted their attention and made the atmosphere in the fortress very tense.

However, no one in the fortress noticed that when the orc army left, one of the tribes quietly stayed. The leopard tribe, who are the best at raiding and fighting, rely on their unmatched stealth skills, and nearly 10,000 leopard warriors are lying in the wild grass of the wasteland, quietly waiting for the strange appearance that the orc emperor said.

......

The Xiongnu occupied large areas of the steppe on the Eurasian continent from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and lived as a nomadic herder and were skilled in riding and archery, posing a strong threat to the Qin and Han dynasties. When it comes to getting out of the fortress and fighting the orcs in the field, these Hun cavalry are the most suitable.

When he learned that the orcs had bypassed the fortress, Leo knew that they must have been the idea of luring the defenders of the fortress out of the city to fight in the field, so the first impression in his mind was that the Hun army was the best at cavalry archery in the steppe. Even if the orcs were good at running, superior in strength and speed to humans, they were far inferior to galloping horses, and as a people on horseback, the Huns' riding and shooting were enough to slow down their march.

Yes, Leo did not expect to be able to destroy the orcs with the Hun legion, after all, the number of orc armies was too large, even if Leo used his skyrocketing god pleasure value to replenish the Hun legion, he could not summon enough Hun soldiers to destroy the orcs.

So, this time, their mission was only to try to slow down the orcs' advance. At the same time, Leo also ordered the Iga ninjas to pass on the news and notify the Holy Griffin Empire in the rear as soon as possible, so that they could organize follow-up reinforcements to hold all the cities as soon as possible.

Prince Grantham looked at Leo with an eager look, and sighed secretly in his heart, it was still Leo who was the most intimate! Looking at the generals of other countries, as soon as they heard that they were going out of the city to fight the orcs, they immediately feared to speak, for fear that Prince Grantham would order their generals.

However, Prince Grantham also knew that Leo's legions had suffered heavy losses in previous battles, and even if his cavalry went out of the city, the strength they could exert was limited.

"Leo, your legion has already suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, it's better to rest more, just leave the matter of going out of the city to pursue the orcs, just leave it to us, after all, there are still so many elite legions of so many countries here!" Prince Grantham's words made all the ** officers on the command platform bow their heads in unison, as if they hadn't heard His Royal Highness's words.

Leo looked at these greedy and death-fearing fellows with disdain, but he said: "No, Your Royal Highness, you can't pursue so rashly! This must be a conspiracy of the orcs, if we send people to pursue in a hurry, I am afraid that we have fallen into the trap of the orcs, after all, in the field, no matter how strong our legion is, it is no match for the orc army! Therefore, the most suitable for pursuit is my Hun legion, they are good at riding and shooting, and it is always the most suitable to pursue the enemy army and create chaos." ”

Prince Grantham smiled bitterly, how could he, who had been fighting horses all his life, not see that this was a conspiracy of the orcs? But as the commander-in-chief of the front, he could not let the orcs cross the fortress to attack the cities in the rear, otherwise the entire Holy Griffin Empire would fall into panic and chaos.

Since he had to send troops out of the city, who to send and how many people to send were the trade-offs that Prince Grantham had to make. His Royal Highness was reluctant to send such an important combat force as Leo's legion to the orcs for nothing, but in the face of Leo, who was eager to fight, and the generals of various countries who were happy, Prince Grantham felt a bitterness in his mouth.

"You...... You...... Since you are so confident, let it be

But your other legions must not be moved lightly, and must stay in the city to help defend the fortress!" His Royal Highness reluctantly agreed to Leo's request for battle, but for the safety of the fortress, he still left the Tang Legion and the half-crippled Spartan Legion behind.

Hearing the Prince's arrangement, Leo and all the officers present smiled with satisfaction, but their smiles contained different meanings. Leo was happy that his Hun legion could once again play a role and win the pleasure of the gods, while the officials were glad that they had escaped a catastrophe.

In the racecourse in the fortress, the Hun cavalry, which had already completed the whole team, under the leadership of the Right Xian King, lightly urged the war horses to march forward, and the sound of the horses' hooves showed their superb horse control skills, and the whole army was like a horse.

At the same time as the Hun cavalry set off, Leo began to summon a steady stream of Hun cavalry in the racecourse to replenish the combat power of his Hun legion. After 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 cavalry, the Hun cavalry, which went out of the city in four columns, slowly began to attract the attention of the defenders of the fortress.

There is no way not to pay attention, and the Hun cavalry is rushing out of the city as if it is endless, which has long exceeded the number of cavalry stationed in the original city, but where did so many people come from?

Gordon Pons was on duty at the city gates at this time, and he and a group of his soldiers watched in amazement at the column of cavalry that snaked like dragons, wondering how there could be so many cavalry in the city.
