What is the other party's idea?

Without waiting for Xia Qi to think about it, a burst of elephant roar came from the desert city opposite, only to see that five elephants came out of the desert city!

Xia Qideng was dumbfounded.

"Damn! And elephants in the desert?! ”

In fact, there are elephants in the desert.

The living range of elephants is much larger than Xia Qi imagined.

However, Xia Qi quickly reflected, although it was the first time he had seen the war elephant class, but he had seen this class of troops in film and television works before.

These war elephants are smaller than mammoths in size.

But that also depends on who you compare with, standing in front of the infantry troops, those war elephants are still behemoths.

On the back of the war elephant, a wooden box was also carried, and in the wooden box were four soldiers.

One soldier commands the war elephants, while the other three carry bows and arrows to assist in the battle.

It was also because of the lack of wood in the desert, otherwise there would have been soldiers armed with a particularly long spear to attack the enemy infantry.

The appearance of these five-headed war elephants brought Xia Qi a lot of pressure.

And following the five war elephants, who came out of the city, were a large number of camel cavalry!

For this special class, Xia Qi was not too surprised, it felt like the standard configuration of the desert nation.

In war-themed film and television works about the desert, this class of troops is necessary.

A group of bearded men in white robes, riding on camels, holding a scimitar in their hands, howled and charged.

At the same time, camels are much larger than ordinary horses, and emaciated camels are larger than horses, which is how they came about.

What's even worse is that these cavalry riding on camels are all wearing heavy armor, which is actually quite a luxurious heavy cavalry!

This configuration clearly gives full play to the physical strength advantage of camels in the desert, after all, the load-bearing capacity of camels and endurance are better than war horses. It's too much stronger.

The appearance of the camel cavalry made the lightning under Xia Qi's seat snort several times, and the horse's hooves frequently trampled in the sand, and his mood seemed a little anxious.

This point, Xia Qi is clear, the camel cavalry has a natural advantage, that is, to restrain ordinary cavalry, the reason is that the stench emitted by the camel will frighten the war horse.

Lightning, because it was a BMW, performed quite well, and even so, although it was not frightened, it was very anxious.

Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart, fortunately this wave, he didn't bring regular cavalry to the battle, otherwise he would have to lose half of the battle before the battle started.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his mentality, Xia Qi's mind quickly calmed down.

The advantage of the orc army is that it is just head-on, and now the opposite side is taking the initiative to attack, how can he still have a reason to coward?

The horn of the attack began to become more intense, and with the continuous approach of the other party, Xia Qi waved his hand, and the moment he saw the other party enter the firing range, the five hundred goblin crossbowmen who were ready to fire fired in unison!

The power of science and technology has brought these desert peoples a head-on blow, and it has boosted the morale of their own side.

After a volley, the goblin crossbowmen quickly retreated to the rear of the formation, and the Red Fox archers began to fire arrows frantically to suppress the enemy formation.

In the face of such a battle, the archer troops of the desert people on the opposite side were also unambiguously colored, and under the mutual suppression of this round of arrow rain, the armies of the two sides quickly collided together.

A fight officially kicked off at this moment!

Furious shouts echoed across the desert.

In the military formation of the desert people, five war elephants that opened the way in front of them directly crashed into the phalanx of the Minotaur infantry.

This collision, even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned minotaurs were a little unbearable, and several minotaur infantry were directly hit by the war elephant and flew out.

The camel heavy cavalry that was killed later also directly abandoned the conventional cavalry raid style and chose to fight head-on.

After all, the camel cavalry, itself is not among the regular cavalry, their mobility is not as fast as normal war horses, but they are better than the desert terrain and excellent physical strength.

And this advantage can be brought into full play in the heavy cavalry and the frontal hard fighting style.

It seems that this Kang Shuaibo has also worked hard.

Xia Qi, who saw this scene, squinted his eyes.

Camels are already rough and thick-skinned, and their defense is stronger after being trained into heavy cavalry by wearing heavy armor, which gives the camel heavy cavalry an excellent standing capital.

The other cavalry lost speed, which was equivalent to half of the waste, but the camel heavy cavalry was very little affected, and even after a wave of charge, they directly plunged into the orc army, and fought with the surrounding minotaur infantry and kobold halberds.

Suddenly, the originally invincible orc army was stunned by these two rough-skinned and thick-skinned characteristic troops.

But Xia Qi didn't panic, really when his two giant war units that spent tens of thousands of military dollars were decorations?

Even if it doesn't attack the city walls, with its strength, its punches and kicks can still deal devastating blows to enemies.

Xia Qi gave an order, and directly signaled the two elephant men to deal with the five war elephants on the opposite side, as long as these five thick-skinned front-row troops were killed, the rest of the camel heavy cavalry was a little trickier.

The Elephant Man, who had spent a lot of money on military spending, did not disappoint him.

I saw one of the elephants quickly approaching the nearest war elephant, and at the moment when the thick arms grabbed the war elephant, the other party could not resist at all, and the brutal force lifted the war elephant on the spot, and then smashed it into the infantry formation of the desert people!

The power of this wave was not at all, and the entire infantry phalanx on the opposite side was smashed into pieces by it.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qi was excited, and by the way, he brushed a wave of morale for the siege army under his command.

The siege army became more and more courageous, but that Kang Shuaibo probably also knew that his side was inconvenient for communication, so he stationed a large number of troops in various border cities to deal with the invaders that may appear at any time and some situations that are too late to support.

At this time, the werewolf warrior troops, who had never joined the battlefield, used their mobility to already touch the local archer troops.

What follows, without doubt, is a one-sided massacre.

The enemy's morale was instantly suppressed, and the situation of the battle gradually began to change.

Although the five-headed war elephant is fierce, it is no match for the elephant man, and the camel heavy cavalry who are caught in the struggle are also being suppressed by the minotaur infantry and kobold halberd soldiers.

The balance of victory was rapidly tilting towards Xia Qi's side, and the defending generals, who realized that the situation was not good, hurriedly issued an order to retreat back to the city.

However, Xia Qi, who was determined to capture this city in one go, how could he let the other party go back so simply under the premise that the other party took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the attack?

After raiding the archer army and killing them, the werewolf warriors led by Richard became the hungry wolves in the way of the local retreat.

In the face of the front and rear attacks, the defending troops of the desert city can be said to be defeated.

During this period, Richard even cut off the head of the enemy defending general in a round of confrontation, which can be regarded as a first achievement.

The morale of the other party was instantly shattered, and in the face of the orc army that surrounded them, after a short stalemate, the soldiers of the defending force who had lost their backbone lost their weapons and chose to surrender.

The commander of Xia Qi's army drove into the city, and while taking over the city gates, he also occupied the military camps in the city.

This time, Xia Qi was determined not to retreat again, and decided to play a one-handed encirclement to send reinforcements.

And if you want to fight for seven days in this harsh environment, fresh water resources are undoubtedly the top priority, so after Xia Qi occupied the city, the first thing he did was to send someone to confirm the fresh water resources in the city.

However, there seems to be no water source in this border city, but a large amount of bottled water has been found in the warehouse of this city.

In other words, the water in this city should have been transported from other nearby cities!

Xia Qi, who confirmed this information, naturally wanted to go to the water source, if he could find the water source directly, it would definitely save him a lot of things.

In this way, while Xia Qi scavenged a map from the barracks, he also selected a few soldiers to come over, made some inquiries, and quickly confirmed the location of the water source.

In order to be able to supply water to various places in a timely manner, this desert country has built these cities around oases, and there are more than one oasis.

And the nearest one is the Green Source City, which is not far from this city.

Walking out of the barracks, the soldiers were rehydrating.

The casualty statistics were quickly sent to Xia Qi's eyes.

After Xia Qi confirmed the number, his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly, this casualty figure was slightly more than he expected.

However, according to his analysis, this Kang Shuaibo should have placed most of the troops in his civilization in various border cities for a long time.

In other words, in the city within the civilization, the garrison should be very small, and a group of troops have been gathered in the main city just in case.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qi suddenly made a decision.

He's going to attack Green Source City before sunset!

Here I have to mention the advantages of the orc troops' physique, their physical fitness is obviously higher than that of ordinary human soldiers, and they can support continuous battles in a short period of time, providing enough execution for Xia Qi's rush attack plan.

After quickly issuing an order, asking the military doctor with the army to treat the wounds of those lightly injured soldiers, and then leaving those seriously injured orc soldiers in this city, and sending an additional hundred troops to garrison, Xia Qi brought enough fresh water and quickly rushed in the direction of Luyuan City.

The Green Source City marked on the map soon appeared in Xia Qi's field of vision, in a piece of yellow sand, that oasis was too conspicuous!

After a short period of rest, the army directly sounded the horn of attack.

Facts have proved that Xia Qi's analysis is correct, there are only a few hundred players in Luyuan City, and in the face of Xia Qi's orc army, the city was breached in just one round.

Although Kang Shuaibo took into account the special circumstances and put two war elephants here as killer weapons, it is a pity that this killer weapon is useless in front of Xia Qi's elephant man.

The entire siege battle from the beginning to the end is estimated to have lasted no more than an hour.

A civilization's military strength is limited, so when deploying troops, there will inevitably be a distinction between light and heavy.

Among them, the border cities are often attacked by foreign enemies, so the deployed troops will definitely be more, and the cities inside the civilization are much safer, and the garrison troops will naturally be less.

Under this premise, the more troops there are at the border, the fewer troops are left for other cities.

This can be said to be an iron law

A wave of invasion battles, Xia Qi, who successfully occupied this green source city and obtained a large area of oasis and lake, can be said to have achieved half of the entire plan.

But Xia Qi didn't intend to stop there, it was unwise to stick to this Green Source City, if that Kang Shuaibo surrounded this city, causing him to be unable to get out of the battle state even after the seven-day time limit, wouldn't he be unable to leave?

He didn't want to stay in this desert for a month, that time was enough for the other party to gather all his forces to fight him, and it was difficult to win.

In this way, offense is the best defense!

But before that, he obviously needed to rest for the night in this Green Source City.

At nightfall, the temperature in the desert gets cold quickly.

In this regard, Xia Qi has long been mentally prepared.

In desert areas, he still knows the common sense problem of hot during the day and cold at night.

After a night's rest, according to the physique of the orc soldiers, the fatigue accumulated yesterday has almost recovered at this moment.

On the second day of the invasion, Xia Qi left a hundred troops to garrison this Luyuan City, and then rushed to the third city with the rest of his troops, relying on his absolute strength to push all the way.

A city with only a few hundred garrisons could not hold off his attack, and the third city fell in a short period of time.

After that, Xia Qi had no new moves, and in Xia Qi's opinion, it was enough to occupy these three cities.

He's going to recharge his batteries in this third city, and then face Kang Shuaibo's army!
