Chapter 230, Siege and Interception
As the sun set, Grand Duke Cooper wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at the soldiers around him who were constantly pulling their armor, and his already gloomy face became more and more gloomy.
It's been six hours! They've been chasing for six hours!
Even the horses don't know how many they are so tired that they foam.
But the bastards ahead are still running!
6
If they run away normally, it will be fine, but they still drag their families with them, as if they were moving.
Those black and white, with cow horns, carry bigger bags on their shoulders than people!
But as a result, I ran very fast, not to mention, I occasionally dropped something, and I still had the leisure to run back to pick it up!
That's really not taking them seriously at all.
Grand Duke Cooper took advantage of the fact that an orc came back to pick up something, and suddenly shot an arrow, regardless of whether he missed the shot, anyway, he succeeded in scaring the other party away.
Then he angrily went over to the fallen object and almost fainted on the spot.
The thing that the other party came to pick up turned out to be a potato that had already been half gnawed!
It's a raw potato!
Grand Duke Cooper, who was already completely desperate for this group of orcs, the only motivation to support his pursuit at this time was to quickly annihilate the opponent.
He had already sent someone to reconnoitre, and all the nearby orc villages were empty, so they should have retreated in advance after receiving the news.
As for whose message it was? Grand Duke Cooper doesn't have to think about this, that kid from the Gu family tried his best to find excuses, he was unwilling to help him eliminate the orcs, he definitely had an inexplicable relationship with the orcs, and this lack of virtue was definitely something he didn't do!
Why else take a divine soldier to command the orc troops? According to Grand Duke Kubo, there is a good chance that kid has orc blood! How could it be such a dog otherwise!
Since the other party has retreated, there will naturally be a gathering point for retreat.
As long as he can find that gathering point, he can take it in one fell swoop.
After the sky gets dark, the game of chasing and running finally takes a turn.
In the distance, the defeated army of orcs rushed to the bottom of the mountain and quickly disappeared, and the Grand Duke of Kud, who saw this scene, was shocked and hurriedly commanded his troops to surround it.
After a careful search, everyone found a tunnel camouflaged with stones, and when they saw that there was no end in sight, Grand Duke Cooper gasped.
This posture can't be the one that leads straight to the mountain range, right?
When will these orcs who don't know magic be able to make this kind of tunnel?
Looking at the huge tunnel in front of him, which was twenty meters wide and 5 meters high, Grand Duke Cooper sneered and commanded the troops to start entering.
At the same time, he did not forget to leave 2,000 soldiers at the gate to defend to avoid anyone blocking his back road.
As the large army all entered it, Gu Erdan, who was riding on the vulture and watching, couldn't help but sneer.
With a wave of his hand, the order was given through the Psychic Connection Tunnel.
In the next moment, the skeletons in the underground relied on their natural spells to dig tunnels, directly through the feet of the two thousand soldiers left behind, and went deep into the tunnel.
Inside the tunnels, the army lit torches and marched in line.
Torches could be faintly seen in front of them, and they weren't too far away.
Obviously, in such a dark place, even with the eyesight of orcs, it is necessary to map the path with firelight.
And I don't know if it's because the other party is finally tired, the firelight is getting closer and closer to them.
At this time, the troops who had already penetrated into the middle hurriedly quickened their pace, and sharpened their knives and prepared to vent.
Two hundred meters! Some soldiers have raised their bows and arrows! But he was stopped by Grand Duke Cooper raising his hand to avoid startling the snake.
If the other party accelerates again because they are frightened, it will be a problem.
Instead of allowing the soldiers to shoot arrows, he even extinguished the torches one by one, giving them the illusion that they had already thrown them away.
One hundred meters away, the soldiers were ready to go, and the soldiers in the front row clutched their torches and were ready to light them at any time.
Fifty meters, at this time, everyone could already faintly see the traces of the enemy in front of them through the light of the torches
Closer, closer, and when they were completely close to the torches, with the roar of Grand Duke Cooper, the soldiers in the first few rows suddenly polished the torches, and with the torches in one hand and the knife in the other, they pounced on them like mad dogs.
And then............
Bang Bang!
The sound of striking iron sounded, and the soldiers who were indiscriminately chopping and slashing out their knives realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised their torches to watch.
Then they found a group of big men more than two meters tall, wearing heavy armor stitched together with several layers of armor, and only a pair of eyes were showing at them.
And the fire they mistakenly thought was not the light of a torch, but the red light from the eyes of these guys.
Thousands of rhinoceros people who had just joined in, holding maces of all colors, looked at everyone silently, and the atmosphere in the tunnel froze to the extreme for a while.
One soldier seemed to think he was dazzled, he remembered that he was chasing a little lamb like a flower, how could he turn his head and become a big man?
Reaching out, he slipped under the face armor of a rhinoceros man and patted the other man's face gently.
Feeling the rough touch in his hand, the soldier silently withdrew his hand as he took a deep breath.
"It's true!!!"
There was a scream, and the tunnel was completely fried.
The soldier turned to run, but was grabbed by the neck by the rhinoceros man and thrown into the air.
There was a boom, and the soldier who was thrown more than two meters high hit the top of the tunnel, and then smashed down again.
Before he could get up from the ground, the orcs let out a deafening roar, roaring like a tsunami, and trampling over him in an instant.
Soldiers, pawns.
"Don't back down! Don't go back! Give me all on top! Mages prepare spells! Intercept the other party! Stop them! Siege artillery ready! ”
Grand Duke Cooper's voice sounded, since he dared to lead his troops into such a narrow terrain, he was naturally ready to deal with this kind of terrain.
Not to mention that this kind of terrain is suitable for the mages to output at full strength, and the 12 siege cannons he carries alone are enough to make anyone break their heads in front of him.
You know, this thing can be used to hunt dragons! It's amazingly powerful!
Hard-wired with armor? You just tie ten armored soldiers together, and it can all penetrate you with one shot.
Being hit by such a thing in such a narrow terrain can be imagined.
However, the siege ballistae that Grand Duke Kud had high hopes for did not come in handy with those mage troops.
Because the ballista had just been loaded, there was a sudden rumbling sound on the ground.
Then, in the stunned expressions of everyone, the section of mage troops and siege ballistae stood, collapsed with a bang.
And it's also an extremely accurate landslide.
The infantry units in the front and the archers in the rear were not affected in the slightest, except for that one piece that collapsed.
The mages who fell into the pit with the siege ballista hurriedly condensed the flash technique.
Under the illumination of patches of light, tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers on both sides, with two clusters of soul ghost fire in their eye sockets that were bifurcated left and right, appeared in their field of vision.
