Chapter 80: Ambush

Ten days later, the Eternal Forest, Moonlight Valley. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a rare full moon night, and under the moonlight, a large group of shadowy figures walked through the dense forests of Moonlight Valley. One of them was dressed in blue-gray armor and wore a Blood Cross on his chest, which was the highest honor of the Kind.

"The moonlight is beautiful, Lord Essex. The staff officer looked at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, yes. Essex moved the joints of his body, and the joints of his bones made a crisp soft sound, "The night of the full moon is an additional blessing for the strength of our bloodline, and it is a good opportunity to speed up the march." The famous general of the Blood Clan looked at ease.

"But my lord, the moonlight also increases the power of the Night Elves, allowing them to hide their figures under the moonlit night. The staff officer was a little worried, "We're almost out of Moonlight Valley, there are a few small hills ahead, do we need to stop for a while and send someone to investigate......

"There's no need for that!" Essex interrupted with a wave of his hand, "According to our report, there is no elven army stationed here at all, the whole army is speeding up, we need to get out of this Eternal Forest as soon as possible!"

"But......" The staff officer still seemed to hesitate.

"Haha!Lord Staff Officer, you won't be afraid of those elves, right!" Seeing that the staff officer still looked scrupled, a blood clan general next to him laughed loudly: "The strength of the night elves has long been figured out by us, they only have a total of 50,000 people in the Eternal Forest, of which the elite is less than 10,000, even if we fight with them, we still have an advantage, don't forget, our Lord Essex is the winner of the Blood Cross!" The blood clan officer's face was full of pride.

"Well, that's right, I hope so. The staff officer shook his head to dispel his concerns, as the recipient of the Blood Cross, Essex is currently in the limelight, and has a tendency to become the head of the top ten generals of the Blood Clan, and their army is an elite division that has experienced a hundred battles and destroyed countless clans, and it is difficult to meet opponents in the Demon Realm. It's just a night elf, and he seems to be too worried.

At last, the mighty army did not stop and marched straight to the middle of the valley.

After marching less than three miles, only a few "whoosh!" were heard, and a rain of arrows came towards the army without warning.

"Enemy attack!" the vanguard quickly raised the alarm, and immediately, the whole army was on alert, and the heavy infantry held Taton high to guard the flanks of the army.

"Lord Essex, we have been ambushed by the elves!" the Pioneer Officer quickly rode back to report.

"My lord, is there a mistake in the information?" said the staff officer, expressing his concern.

"You go ahead with me first. Essex did not comment on the staff officer's concerns, and simply coldly gave his own orders.

"Yes!" the group rode fast horses and followed Essex to the front of the group.

Essex rushed to the site of the attack, and after learning about the casualties, he looked at the arrows left on the ground, but he looked up and laughed.

"Lord Essex, why are you so happy?" the Blood Clan officers were puzzled.

Essex pointed to the pile of arrows in front of him, which were widely distributed but sparsely distributed, and said proudly: "You look at the distribution of this arrows, this is not shot by a large group of archers at all, and as far as I know, we have no other injuries at all except for a small group of cavalry who were shot and killed because they had no time to take precautions. ”

"So, I conclude that the incoming elven troops will not exceed a thousand people, just a patrol force. Essex confidently analyzed.

As soon as the words fell, I heard another sound of string control around me, and the elves' arrow rain tore through the air and roared, but this time the blood clan had already taken precautions, and the rain of arrows was all blocked by the tower shield of the heavy infantry.

Essex snorted coldly and said, "Bluff, if my guess is correct, they are now just trying to monitor our every move and create a false illusion to confuse us, so that they will have enough time to inform the arrival of the large army." We must not let more elves know our whereabouts! Give me orders, and the whole army will assault! Speed up! Exterminate all the invading enemies!"

"Obey!" With Essex's order, this elite of more than 20,000 people of the Blood Clan roared towards the jungle like a wild beast, this army of a hundred battles has many strong men, and can easily defeat more than twenty times the human army.

The terrible screams of the elves were soon heard in the jungle, and in front of that terrible army, the elven patrol with excellent archery skills was nothing more than a lamb in front of a fierce tiger, and there was no way to fight back.

The chase continued, and the elves did not dare to fight, so they withdrew one after another, and the blood army pursued them fiercely. As long as they can completely eliminate this elven patrol force that is causing trouble around them, then no one will notify the main elven force of their arrival.

However, although the elves suffered heavy losses in the pursuit, they were always able to use the complex terrain of the forest to throw the pursuing Blood army away for some distance.

After a while, the Bloodclan army pursued to the foot of two hills, but Essex ordered the army to halt for a moment.

"Rensius, you lead the cavalry in the pursuit, and if you encounter any ambush, retreat immediately!Vadri, order your mage troops to prepare large high-level magic, and pay attention! As long as there is any disturbance......" He pointed his sword at the two hills not far away, "I want you to flatten those two hills for me!"

"Yes!" the two of them quickly left.

"Lord Essex, do you suspect that there is an ambush on the mountain?" the staff officer asked.

"Hmm. Essex nodded, "We can't rule out the possibility that this elven patrol is a decoy force, if the elves want to set up an ambush, those two mountains are undoubtedly the best choice for us to pass through." ”

"But why didn't you send troops to reconnoiter beforehand?" the staff officer was puzzled.

"It's simple, because you can't detect it. Essex smiled meaningfully, "The Night Elves are best at hiding in the forest, and if they try to ambush us, they won't give our scouts any chance of spotting them." ”

"So, I'll let them out with a decoy and let them reveal their hiding spots, and then ......," he smiled and glanced at the staff officer, who gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Lord Essex is worthy of being a famous general of my bloodline, and it is thoughtful to think about the problem, admire, admire!"

An hour later, the cavalry passed through the valley unharmed, and the herald hurried to report, "Lord Essex, our cavalry has all passed through the valley and has not found anything unusual. ”

"What about the elves?" Essex furrowed.

"The elves who attacked us have broken down and are fleeing northwest in disarray. ”

After hearing this, Essex hurriedly took out the map of the defense of the Eternal Forest, and after looking at it for a while, his brows furrowed, and he laughed: "The camp of the Night Elves is located just northwest of Moonlight Valley, they should be trying to ask for help, it seems that it is indeed a patrol force that attacked us." He rode his horse and whipped up, and ordered: "Quick! The whole army will speed up the pursuit, quickly destroy this small group of enemy troops, and prevent them from calling for help!"

"Obey!" After receiving the order, the generals led their respective subordinates and accelerated in the direction of the elven army's escape.

Although the elven army had long since lost the will to fight, and the cavalry force alone was enough to defeat them, the Night Elves were extremely strong in concealment in the forest, and in order to prevent any fish from escaping the net to the camp to report the news, the Blood Clan army launched a dragnet search for them.

Hundreds of elven archers fell under the blood's sword, but the elves still had the last small group of unicorn cavalry to leave the pursuing bloods behind.

Unicorns are extremely fast and able to navigate dense forests, so even the vanguard cavalry of the Bloods can't catch up with them.

Essex gritted his teeth and asked the magician to bless the whole army with all kinds of acceleration magic, and for a while, the speed of the blood army increased greatly, and the distance between it and the elven unicorn cavalry was shortened little by little.

However, the Blood Clan, who were pursuing with all their might, did not notice at this moment that among the dense bushes and hidden treetops behind them, there was an occasional sound of confusion.

On a cliff not far away, Hypatia stood with a longbow on her back and her hands in her hands, looking at the mighty army of the Bloods, her purple cloak rattling fiercely in the night wind.

"General Hypatia, why don't you set up an ambush on those two hillsides, which are condescending and can make our blade-throwing carts more powerful. Avril asked, puzzled.

Hypatia shook her head repeatedly, "Avril, you should learn to empathize, because those two hillsides are the ideal location for ambush, so any commander with a mind will be wary of those two hills, even though there is so-called 'intelligence' telling them that there are no garrisons there. ”

"And the ambush had to be taken by surprise, so I deliberately let them go there so that they could be relieved of their concerns and convinced of the false information. And now is the perfect time for us to ambush."

Hypatia took off the longbow on her back and ordered to the generals around her, "The whole army obeys the order! Tighten the ambush circle, cut off the enemy's rear route, and be sure to completely annihilate this elite of the blood clan!"

"Yes, General Hypatia!"
