Chapter 223: A Great War

At the same time, a messenger on a camel also rushed to their royal city day and night, bringing the news to Kang Shuaibo, who was located in the royal city.

After learning that it was an orc army that came in this time, Kang Shuaibo's face suddenly became solemn.

He has not fought the orc army before, relying on the war elephants and camel cavalry with the characteristics of the desert region, and with the help of the climate and geographical advantages of the desert, even against the orc army, he also has the strength to fight.

But what puzzled Kang Shuaibo was that this Xia Qi was not a normal human civilization? How did it suddenly become an orc civilization again?

There was no time to hesitate, Kang Shuaibo directly led the army that had been assembled, and drove the expedition in person!

As a result, before his royal army officially left the city, the second battle report from the front line was delivered. Gocheng has fallen.

Kang Shuaibo, who learned the news, couldn't help but become even more ugly.

But there were not too many surprises in his heart, breaking through his border city in one day, according to the aggressiveness of the orc army, they did have this strength.

But what worries him is that once the border city is broken, there will be no other city that can withstand the footsteps of the orc army all the way to his royal capital.

Kang Shuaibo had to take the first step, and then sent a few more warrants out, ordering the other cities to start gathering troops here and rushing to the aid of the border cities.

After that, he rushed to the border with ten war elephants in the royal city and 3,000 troops.

On the way there, Kang Shuaibo bumped into several messengers who were rushing to report on camels with urgent reports, and then obtained the news from the urgent reports of these messengers, which made Kang Shuaibo's face difficult to see and was about to distort.

Following the stone of the border. After the fall of Gecheng, Luyuan City and Moon City also fell one after another! The offensive efficiency on the other side is inevitably a little too high, right?

If you take a beat slower, you won't be beaten to the gate of the royal city by the other side?

As soon as he thought of this, Kang Shuaibo immediately made a decision and began a rapid march.

Hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the frontline city before sunset on the fourth day.

The fact that the fourth city along the road had not been captured made his hanging heart relax a little.

In other words, the other party either ransacked the resources and ran away, or they were stationed in Moon City to rest.

To tell the truth, running away after looting resources is annoying, but at this moment, Kang Shuaibo is a little hoping that the other party will do so.

Because this way, he would be able to avoid another battle with the orc army.

If he could, he really didn't want to fight with the orc army, because after a battle, his side would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

It hurts so much!

Kang Shuaibo first ordered the army to rest in this city for a day, to recover the fatigue accumulated by the army's rapid march for several days, and at the same time, he also waited for the surrounding cities to support the troops!

In the face of the orc army, if you insist on fighting, of course, the more troops, the better!

On the morning of the sixth day of the invasion battle, Kang Shuaibo, who had gathered his troops all the way, already had a bit of determination on his face.

Think about it from another angle, if he can win this headwind game, he will definitely be able to get a very high score if he can keep his own resources, and maybe even get a golden treasure chest.

With a full 6,000 troops, plus ten war elephants to suppress the realm, Xia Qi, who was standing on the wall of Moon City at this time, had to admit that players of this level were really fierce when they moved.

Moreover, it is very likely that this is not all of Kang Shuaibo's troops, after all, at this time, the border troops located in several other directions will not have time to rush over.

But even so, it was enough for Xia Qi to feel a burst of pressure.

Without ambiguity, the Red Fox Archers and Goblin Crossbowmen directly climbed the city wall, and the three Moon City Castle Bed Crossbowmen on the wall were operated by the goblin bed crossbowmen who were originally responsible for operating the Eight Bull Crossbows.

The other party's offensive came urgently, Xia Qi knew that Kang Shuaibo was in a hurry, after all, in order to gather enough troops, there was not much time left for him now.

Ten war elephants lined up, and the scene was truly spectacular.

Looking at the siege army that swept over like a tide, the three defender bed crossbows on the head of the moon city wall did not hesitate to fire, and then the attacks of the goblin crossbowmen and red fox archers also followed.

As crossbowmen defending the city, they have the advantage of having multiple rounds of attack opportunities, unlike when the two armies face each other, after a round of volleys, it is time to retreat.

But this long-range fire suppression, in front of the 6,000 army, is obviously a bit insufficient.

However, Xia Qi didn't expect to use this long-range firepower to kill the opposite side at first.

After the opponent approached the city wall, and then smashed two rounds of rocks down, the gates of Moon City were opened, and the orc army went out of the city to meet the attack!

A hand-to-hand fight started directly at the city gate.

And the two elephant men who had been ambushed outside the city for a long time also appeared strongly at this moment.

As soon as he came up, he smashed two boulders towards Kang Shuaibo's archer phalanx in the distance, which had been demolished from the buildings in the city.

Xia Qi found that elephant people are much more powerful at long-range than short-range.

Just the huge stones can give people a great sense of shock.

When he saw these two elephant men, Kang Shuaibo's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, the lethality of a giant war unit like this was too great.

Originally, his war elephant soldiers should also be giant war units on the battlefield, but in front of the elephant man, he still looked a little petite.

Since the elephant man joined the war, within a few minutes, two war elephants in his war elephant army were thrown out, and when they landed, they also killed a large number of their own people, and the muscles in the corners of Kang Shuaibo's eyes twitched.

However, Kang Shuaibo did not give up, because he knew where his advantages were.

As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death.

If there are more ants, they can still bite and kill elephants, let alone soldiers?

Kang Shuaibo began to dispatch troops, and directly sent the fierce generals under his command, with a thousand troops to attack Xia Qi's two elephants, while the rest of the troops continued to attack Moon City.

The corpses at the city gate are accumulating more and more, where is the Minotaur infantry with hideous battle axes to get along with?

Between the swings of the battle axe in his hand, he constantly harvests the lives of the enemies on the battlefield.

The kobold halberds in the rear were also waiting for the opportunity to move to assist in the battle.

On the other side, Richard repeated his old trick and led the werewolf warriors to attack directly behind the archers.

In the face of the sudden appearance of werewolf warriors, the archers were powerless to resist at all, and directly dispersed.

Without the rain of arrows to suppress the walls of Moon City, the Red Fox Archers and Goblin Crossbowmen can be said to be completely liberated, and one by one, they followed Xia Qi's orders and began to snipe the enemy infantry outside the city.

In terms of tactical layout, Xia Qi is undoubtedly successful, but the opponent's strength advantage is also real.

In the face of such a gap in troops, Xia Qi's main tactical policy has always been to passively defend the city with the limited space at the city gate.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, there are thousands of troops outside, as long as he dares to go out, he will be surrounded by regiments.

To defend the city, you only need to be attacked on one side, but once you get out of the city, you will really be attacked on all sides.

The battle at the city gate was stalemate until evening, and as early as two hours ago, Xia Qi had already sounded the horn, signaling the werewolf warriors to withdraw from the battlefield.

As I said before, the advantage of the opposing forces was too great, and his werewolf warriors rushed up to cut the archers on the opposite side, even if they cut until their hands were sore, they couldn't finish cutting them all.

At this time, Kang Shuaibo, whose face was already pale, was only high or low compared to Xia Qi, but time waited for no one.

Looking at the slowly setting sun in the distance, Kang Shuaibo gritted his teeth and sounded the horn of retreat.

At this time, the corpses at the gate of the city had already piled up more than half a person high, and the tenacity of the opposing army's army exceeded Xia Qi's expectations.

After this battle, the army of other orcs also suffered a lot of casualties.

Xia Qi didn't dare to stay longer, and after detaining the people of this city and then destroying the mechanism of the city gate, he took advantage of the night to evacuate Moon City overnight with his orc army.

And during this period, in order to grasp the initiative, and also to prevent Kang Shuaibo from noticing his movements or doing anything beyond his expectations, Xia Qi also deliberately asked the werewolf warriors to go to the other party's camp to harass them at night.

The wolf howl in his ears and the pair of green eyes flashing in the night made Kang Shuaibo clearly feel the aggression of the other party, and at the same time, he also realized that the night was a special game for orcs.

Rushing out is equivalent to looking for death, and then dispelling the original idea of besieging the city at night.

The next morning, when the sky was still bright, he stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and led the army under his command to kill again.

With the fire in his stomach, Kang Shuaibo advanced all the way to the city walls of Moon City, but there was no movement in the city at all.

Now, anyone should notice that something is wrong.

Kang Shuaibo hurriedly signaled his soldiers to set up a ladder and climb into the city to confirm the situation, and as a result, Moon City at this time had become an empty city.

It wasn't until the people who were imprisoned in the various material warehouses that had been emptied were found that Kang Shuaibo completely confirmed that Xia Qi's goods had abandoned the city overnight and withdrew!

When Kang Shuaibo realized this, his first reaction was to catch up from the city gate on the other side.

As a result, the city gate on the other side has been destroyed, and only a piece of debris remains, so they themselves are trapped in the city!

In desperation, I had no choice but to turn back the way I came, go out of the city through the gate where I entered, and then chase after him.

But I went back and forth like this, and I went around in a big circle, and I don't know how much time I delayed.

Xia Qi, who led the orc army, had already retreated, and Kang Shuaibo couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.

When the time came, Xia Qi immediately retreated.
