Chapter 14: To the North, Rush to the Rescue!
City of Rhea, Central Square.
A full two hundred professionals from the third order and above the various professional halls of Rhea City gathered here. They lined up in the square, waiting for the order to go.
"Hall Master, are we going to ride a horse?" Yun Xiaoyu asked Yak beside him while wearing a light steel armor on his body.
"Nonsense, of course you go on horseback, is it possible to go on foot? That place is more than a hundred miles away from the fortress. Ark looked at Yun Xiaoyu a little helplessly.
Yun Xiaoyu still looked puzzled and asked, "Then why do you want to wear cavalry equipment, isn't our own equipment better?"
"There are also benefits to dressing up as a cavalryman. This can be hidden. If you think about it, if we had a full two hundred powerful professionals swaggering to the rescue, the orcs would definitely line up a large number of strong people to stop us. And if you disguise yourself as cavalry, two hundred cavalry is a scout cavalry team at best, and it will not attract orcs. That way we can quickly and quickly crush small forces of orcs to reach that valley to support. ”
Yun Xiaoyu nodded, silently remembering in his heart, while continuing to put on the light armor. Suddenly, he raised his head with a slightly embarrassed expression and asked, "Hall Master, there is one more question." ”
"What's the problem? Ark said patiently.
"Well, I don't know how to ride a horse......"
“......”
Well, in fact, this can't be blamed on Yun Xiaoyu. He had been poor since he was a child, and he lived in a poor village, and he had never even seen a horse look like it. It's understandable that you can't ride a horse.
Time waits for no one, and Yak doesn't have so much time to wait for Yun Xiaoyu to finish riding a horse before leaving. You can only teach while walking. Fortunately, Yun Xiaoyu was smart enough and was soon able to barely control the horse without being thrown off by the horse.
Two hundred men marched on horseback until they came to the fortress, and they were all exhausted. But they did not stop to rest. Because everyone knows that if they arrive one step late, the lives of their comrades are more threatened. So even the physically weak magicians are gritting their teeth and struggling to support themselves. Half an hour later, the group came to the main gate of the Yumen Pass Fortress. The first time he saw this Xiongguan, Yun Xiaoyu was directly stunned. The tall and majestic city wall is like a sleeping dragon, blocking the entire Fengshen Pass.
First of all, the terrain of Yumen Pass Fortress is extremely favorable. On the side of Fengshen Pass, looking at the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire, the walls of the Yumen Pass Fortress were more than fifty meters high, and the height was more than three times the first-level military standard of the empire. However, from the direction of the extreme north outside, the city wall was nearly 100 meters high! plus the Red Flame Legion, one of the main battle legions of the empire resident in the Yumen Pass Fortress, a whole legion, 200,000 elite troops, and 20,000 Dragon Shrine professionals. There are also ballistas, catapults, and magic cannons. It is conceivable that when the orcs attack the city, this Xiongguan will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the orcs. It's no wonder that Yumen Pass has been able to defend itself against alien attacks for more than a thousand years.
But at this time, I don't care about appreciation. Ark and the other four branch hall masters of the Dragon Temple directly ordered someone to reveal the emergency mission pass of the Dragon Temple under the city, and rushed all the way through the Jade Gate Pass to the legendary Far North.
As soon as he entered the land of the extreme north, Yun Xiaoyu felt a biting cold. This far north is indeed desolate, and as far as the eye can see, it is all barren saline land, and there are not even a few plants to be seen. The wind was also blowing very fiercely, blowing like a knife on the face. Yun Xiaoyu sneezed, whispered a few words, continued to keep up with the team, and galloped all the way north......
......
Somewhere in the far north, somewhere in an orc camp.
The orc soldiers guarding the gate yawned. Their thick fur helps keep them out of the cold winds, so they don't feel cold. But this kind of weather will inevitably make people feel a little sleepy.
The orc yawned and muttered, "Damn, it's going to be on duty in such a cold weather." Really, what enemies can there be here? How can those humans come back to attack us after huddled in the fortress like turtles?" he muttered to himself as he dragged his tomahawk back behind the wooden fence and shrugged himself up.
Then......
"Uhh The orcs on duty suddenly woke up. He ran to the gate, only to see dust in the distance, and he could faintly see the human cavalry among them.
The orc was startled, and hurriedly roared loudly: "Human! is the cavalry of humans! Quick! Alert!"
The orc's reaction was also extremely fast, and before the cavalry of the Holy Dragon Empire could rush forward, they were already lined up and ready for battle. I saw that these orc soldiers were all gearing up, and they were not timid in the face of the imperial cavalry, but excited.
When the dust cleared, the orc general saw the reality inside, and said with a smile: "Hmph, don't be nervous, there are only a few hundred cavalry here, and they can't pose a threat to us at all! Ha, it's probably just a scout cavalry team! They don't dare to attack us." ”
Hearing the orc generals say this, the ordinary orc warriors below also relaxed, and some even climbed the wooden fence to shout and curse. However, it is true that the single combat power of the orc warrior is extremely strong, and it takes almost three human soldiers to compete with one orc warrior. And this camp is stationed with nearly a thousand orc warriors, and in the face of two hundred human cavalry, there is naturally no need to worry.
At this moment, the trumpet sounded on the human side. The orc general's face changed, and he heard that it was the horn of the human cavalry. He took another closer look, and then relaxed. Luckily, they don't have a large army, and it seems that they are really a human scout cavalry. However, this group of humans is too bold, and only two hundred of them want to storm our camp?
The orc general turned around and yelled at the orc warriors below, "That group of humans must have gone crazy and want to attack us!
"Kill, kill, kill!" the orc warriors in the line roared three times with their weapons raised.
"All in line, open the camp gate, we swallow this daring cavalry team!" Under the order of the orc general, the camp gate opened, and a group of orcs quickly rushed out, set up a formation, and confronted the human cavalry.
"Uhhh
The orc general looked at it again, and this time, he really doubted whether the human officer on the other side was really crazy. The two hundred cavalry did not retreat when they encountered the orc garrison, but attacked. Even if you use only half of it, that is, a hundred cavalry to charge, isn't this a clear death?
However, at this time, he was not allowed to think too much, and the human cavalry had already rushed in front of him.
"Kill!" the orc general roared, and the orcs standing at the forefront raised their battle axes or hammers and rushed towards the human cavalry.
The orc general thought that the human cavalry of the hundred men would be dealt with quickly, but the moment the two sides fought, his face changed in an instant.
The human cavalry actually tore open the ranks of the orcs! I saw that the hundred cavalry rushed into the ranks of the orcs like a sharp knife, and they were invincible everywhere they went, and there were corpses of the orcs everywhere. And after breaking through the first layer of defense of the orcs, they actually maintained an intact queue! And the first layer of defense of the orcs, a full four hundred orcs, most of them were killed or wounded.
This kind of combat power is really terrifying! The orc general chuckled in his heart, he understood that this time he had hit a hard bone. Because, when he watched the battle from a high place, he saw that in the hundred-man cavalry team of the human race, everyone's weapons flashed with a little light, the power of the dragon god!
Yes, these are the two hundred Dragon Temple reinforcements. And those who came out to charge were forty knights from the Knights' Templars and sixty warriors from the Warriors Templars. Each of these professions has a strength of the third order or higher. This charge of 100 men could be countered even by an entire infantry battalion of 1,000 men, let alone a mere 400 orcs. If the orc general had pressed a thousand orcs up, there might have been a thirty percent chance of victory. But he was so careless that he divided the orcs into several teams. So, the group of orcs tragedy.
One hundred cavalry immediately broke through the first line of defense of the orcs and immediately divided into several teams to strangle the remaining orc warriors. And by the time the remaining six hundred orcs rushed over, they had already killed all the first group of orcs and retreated to the queue.
The orc general's heart ached, and a full four hundred orc warriors were lost in this way, and the other side didn't seem to have many dead.
At this time, the reinforcements of the Dragon Temple moved again. The hundred cavalry rushed out again and slaughtered the orc brigade. And the remaining 100 people also acted quickly.
"Quick!" the archers quickly dispersed, occupied the high ground, surrounded the camp, and shot the fleeing orcs. The magicians prepare for the magic attack, and the magic swordsman protects them!, and never let one go!" A knight wearing silver-white armor was commanding loudly in front of the formation, he was the commander of this reinforcement, the sixth-order fourth-level knight, and the hall master of the knights' branch hall in Rhea City-Frank. For this rescue operation, the five major professional sub-halls of the Dragon Shrine in Rhea City can be said to have poured out. The five branch hall masters, except for Yak, who was at the peak of the fifth order, the rest were all sixth order. In addition, there are seven fifth-order, nearly fifty fourth-order, and one hundred third-order. Strength is naturally strong.
Looking at the battle situation here, the hundred-person Dragon Divine Temple professionals rushed into the orc queue and immediately dispersed. Everyone is at least three orc warriors at the same time without falling behind. After a few minutes, the trumpet sounded, and a hundred people immediately turned on their horses, rushed out of the orc formation, and scattered in all directions.
The orc general was wondering, and the next moment, his face turned ugly.
The bow and arrow of the Dragon Temple are hand-made. Each archer drew at least three arrows, and at the same time mounted the bowstring and threw them out, forming a rain of arrows. Suddenly, the orcs, who had already suffered heavy losses, suffered huge losses again, and more than a dozen orcs fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
"Quick, all, all charge, kill those dastardly humans!" the orc general's eyes were red, and he personally dragged the warhammer and led the remaining less than five hundred orc warriors to charge towards the magicians and magic swordsmen on the hillside.
Frank's face was grim, he looked at the rapidly approaching orc warriors, and silently said, "Closer, closer......"
Soon, the orcs had rushed to less than a hundred paces.
"Now, attack!" Frank ordered, and the thirty magicians in the team waved their staff at the same time, and all kinds of magic that had been stored for a long time smashed out. Some magicians were not satisfied, and swung their staff again, releasing one or two fireballs. Some of them ran out of magic and simply took out the magic scroll from the magic guide and threw it out.
The orc generals were desperate, and all kinds of third- and fourth-level magic and fifth-level magic scrolls formed a terrifying magic storm. With a magic attack of this scale, even if a seventh-order powerhouse is hit, I am afraid that he will hate it.
"Boom, boom, boom......" colorful magical light burst out, extremely gorgeous. And when the magic light dissipated, there were only a few dozen orcs left who could still stand, and they were all injured to varying degrees. They scattered and fled, trying to get back to the news. But how could the Dragon Temple give them such an opportunity?
As the sound of breaking the air sounded, dozens of remnants of orcs who fled fell to the ground one after another. The forty archers played their part at the right time.
At this point, a thousand orcs were completely strangled here, and none of them survived. On the other hand, on the side of the Dragon Temple, except for a dozen knights who were slightly injured, the rest were unscathed, with zero deaths! Two hundred against one thousand, there were no casualties, and they had fought seven battles like this. What a terrifying combat power! That's the benefit of class matching.
Frank looked at the battlefield below, exhaled slowly, and said loudly, "Everyone, the last obstacle to support has been cleared." Now, to the north, go forward !!"
