Chapter 261: Under the Mountain City
Evening.
At this time, the mountain forest was completely dark, and in the camp where the red fox archers and double-knife war wolves were located, a bonfire had been lit and prepared to make a fire for cooking.
After eating, the fox man and the werewolf were ready to rest, so that they could recuperate and continue the next day's battle.
The task given to them by Li Chuan was to harass and attack those orcs as much as possible, so as to continue to consume the energy and strength of those orcs, so as to increase the chances of victory in the next battle to defend the city.
As for the guard of the camp, there is also the question of who will defend after they leave.
There is no need to worry about this, there is also a team of sword and shield soldiers specially dispatched by Li Chuan in this camp.
"Enemy attackβ"
"Roar!"
It was at this moment that the cries of the soldiers mingled with the roars of the beasts, breaking the calm of the camp.
"Rush! Kill them all!! β
The faces of Richard and the others, who heard the voice, changed suddenly.
"Not good! The camp location is exposed! β
Before they could think about it, the orcs led by Bey had already roared and rushed into the camp.
"Stop them!"
Xiong waved the bronze war knife in his hand and rushed straight forward.
As the oldest general in Great Xia, there was no need for a bear for a mission like this, but this guy has really been suffocated recently, so he offered to participate in this mission.
Xiong Du stood up, and some generals who originally had some thoughts about this mission, seeing this, immediately stopped fighting for this task with great insight.
In this regard, Li Chuan was also helpless, so he could only tell Xiong Qian and warn him that his task this time was only to defend the camp, and he did not need to take the initiative to attack.
In this regard, Xiong naturally agreed.
When Richard and them were on an attack mission before, Xiong originally wanted to participate in it, but was stopped, and seeing that Xiong still wanted to go his own way, Richard immediately moved out of Xia Qi.
Xiong is not even afraid of his own mother-in-law, but he is afraid of Xia Qi.
Therefore, this idea can only be dispelled temporarily.
Now, the orcs have taken the initiative to send it to the door, how can this militant still endure it?
Bear sword in hand, ignoring the other orcs, rushed straight at Bey, the tallest of them.
With the help of the campfire in the camp, Bey has also spotted the bear rushing towards him.
"Look for death!"
Bey snorted disdainfully, then swung the bone wand in his hand and smashed it at the bear.
In its eyes, this dwarf human would be smashed into pulp in the next second.
"Good time!"
Seeing this, Xiong directly raised the war knife in his hand and collided with it.
"Bell!"
Bey felt a tremendous force coming, and it was tingling.
"Come again!"
With a loud roar, the bear waved the bronze war knife in his hand and took the initiative to attack Bey.
Seeing that Xiong was already standing with the enemy, the deputy captain sighed helplessly, and then shouted loudly: "Sword and shield soldiers, form a shield formation, cover the retreat of others!" β
Except for the bears, the entire camp had no intention of fighting these orc troops.
The focus of these troops in the camp is not on frontal combat, and if they fight head-on, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it is impossible to fight at all.
Their most important task at the moment was to temporarily stop the attacking orc troops, so that the Red Fox archers could quickly retreat to the mountains and forests.
As long as they enter the mountain forest area, they are basically safe.
Richard did not retreat, but led the Twin Blade Wolves to help.
The Red Fox archers also knew that they would not be able to help much if they stayed in the camp, so they immediately retreated to the mountain forest area outside the camp as quickly as possible.
After confirming that the Red Fox Archers had quickly evacuated, the detachment leader and Richard, who had already paid a certain price for casualties, had to evacuate.
"General Xiong, retreat quickly, don't fight anymore!" The vice-captain shouted at the bear.
However, at this time, Xiong was on the rise, and even if he heard the shouting of the deputy captain, he didn't hear it at all.
Seeing this, Richard shouted loudly: "Bear General."

Jun, if you don't leave, if this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty, you won't think about going out again in the future! β
Richard also had no choice, and if he could, he didn't want to threaten the bear with it.
Sure enough, after hearing Richard's shout, the bear immediately forced Bey back with a knife, and then retreated towards the forest.
Richard glanced at the vice-captain, and then disappeared into the forest.
"Chase, chase me!"
After Bey gave the order to chase and kill, he didn't move, looking at the knife marks on the bone stick, his face was cloudy.
By this time, it was already night, and a planet (still called the moon) that was several laps larger than the moon above the blue star rose in the sky.
But even so, the mountains and forests are still very dark.
The men and horses on both sides chased all the way and fled all the way.
Bear and Richard, who were in front, rushed into the mountain forest area with their respective soldiers.
At that moment, Xiong only felt that the world in front of him suddenly became darker.
This environment, undoubtedly, to a large extent, affected the efficiency of their retreat.
And the bear people who are also affected.
Bears are creatures called bear blind, and their eyesight is not very good, and in the dark it is no different from being blind with their eyes open.
However, their sense of hearing and smell is very keen, so they are not unable to move in this dim environment.
In addition, werewolves and foxes both have night vision, and the dark environment in the mountains and forests does not have a great impact on them.
Led by werewolves, the menacing orc troops chased all the way into the mountain forest area.
As they went deeper, the light in the mountains and forests gradually disappeared.
This piece of mountain forest can be said to be invisible to the five fingers.
At that moment, a scream was heard in the darkness, and then a smell of blood entered the nostrils of an orc.
"What's going on, what just happened?"
At this time, Bey had completely lost his vision, and although he smelled a smell of blood, he had no idea what was happening.
"The fox man on the other side, they shot and killed a fox man from our side!" Kgrud's voice rang out in the darkness.
Hearing this, Bey's heart suddenly sank.
It's not just it, now all the bear people have lost their vision, and now they can only be beaten passively.
The Red Fox Archers hid in the shadows and attacked the orcs.
The fox man and the werewolf fell to the ground one after another, and the bear man had thicker skin and meat, but when he was shot with several or even a dozen bows and arrows, he could only fall to the ground in the middle of the end.
A werewolf wanted to rush over, but in the next second, it was the target of a concentrated fire.
The screams continued to sound in the darkness, eroding the will of the orcs little by little.
The feeling of powerlessness is frightening, and the feeling is terrifying, especially for bear people who have been deprived of their sight by the darkness.
Because they didn't know who was dead, and who would die next, the screams made their hearts hang in their throats.
For a while, a retreat arose spontaneously in Beisen's heart.
"Retreat!"
Accompanied by increasingly dense screams, Bey gave the order to retreat.
In this regard, neither werewolves nor foxes raised any objections.
The other party is obviously much more familiar with this mountain forest than their own, and they are far more adept at mountain and forest warfare than them.
If they continue to fight, they will only leave more corpses behind.
The orc troops began to retreat, and the red fox archers hidden in the mountains and forests had no intention of pursuing.
After forcing back the pursuit of the orc troops, the red fox archers and the double-knife war wolves quickly left the mountain forest with other soldiers who did not have night vision.
This time they were careless, but they weren't going to just give up.
The next morning, with a sense of revenge, they attacked the orc forces again.
Amid the roar of the orcs, a wave of soldiers who had finished their attack quickly retreated.

Once it was a real retreat.
Originally, it was expected that they would harass all the way to the outside of the Northland Mountain City, but at this moment, the arrows in their hands had been exhausted and had to be withdrawn.
For the next two days, the orc troops were in a state of trembling, only to feel that in the next second, arrows would shoot out from the mountains and forests.
Whenever there is some trouble, it is to cause a commotion among the orcs.
At this time, the orcs were already physically and mentally exhausted, but they did not stop there, but increased the speed of their march.
Finally, they finally broke away from the mountain forest and came to the vicinity of the mountain city.
When the orcs saw the towering wall in front of them, all the orcs were dumbfounded.
How can they break through such a huge city and fight it with their heads?
Bey and Kgrud turned pale, knowing in their hearts that the next battle would be very difficult.
But at this point, they can't be persuaded to retreat by a wall, right?
Looking at the tired orcs, Bey made a very bold move next, and in this way, it allowed the orc army to rest directly under the noses of the defenders of the mountain city.
Looking through the monoculars, looking at the orc troops resting outside the city, Li Chuan's face was also not good-looking.
At the moment, the orcs were in a position completely outside the range of the Red Fox Archers, and at this time they were in a clearing, and the Red Fox Archers could not attack at all.
If you want to stop those orcs from resting, you can only lead your troops out of the city to attack, but in that case, the advantage of the city wall as the defender of the city will be gone, and you can only face those orcs head-on.
"How about it, do you want to take the initiative to attack?" Xiong on the side asked eagerly.
In this regard, Li Chuan shook his head.
"Not necessarily."
Then, Li Chuan called his lieutenant general and said to him: "Every two quarters of an hour, let the Eight Bull Crossbow fire at the orc camp, if you want to rest under my nose, it's not so easy!" β
In fact, there are catapults in the mountain castle, but with the current distance of the orcs, the range of the catapults is simply not enough.
According to Li Chuan's meaning, the crossbowmen on the wall began to operate the eight-bull crossbow with great ease.
That speed, if seen by the fox people on the orc side, was enough to make them ashamed to death.
The five eight-ox crossbows on the top of the wall opened fire at the same time, and five heavy crossbow arrows roared and rushed into the orc camp, which immediately attracted an exclamation from the orcs.
However, there were no casualties from these bolts, as the distance was beyond the effective range of the bolts.
However, it still caused a riot among the orcs, and the nerves that had been relaxed just now tensed up again.
However, after firing five bolts, the bed crossbow on top of the wall stopped firing.
Slowly, the orcs' tense nerves relaxed.
Li Chuan's purpose was to make it impossible for these orcs to rest, so as to further reduce their combat effectiveness. If you let the Eight Bull Crossbow attack all the time, maybe the orcs will attack the city in the next second.
The orcs were nervous and vigilant for a long time, but the humans on the opposite wall did not make any more moves.
While the orcs breathed a sigh of relief, Ali's face was gloomy.
It had already seen that the other party was obviously deliberately consuming them, so that they could not rest in peace.
Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, the eight-bull crossbow on the head of the city was launched again, and the orcs, who had just rested, were in a commotion again.
Faced with this, Bey called Ali over.
After explaining the stakes to Bey, Bey's face became even more ugly.
"What then? Since then, we have no way to rest. β
"The current situation can only ignore the movement, divide the orcs into two groups, when one group rests, the other group remains vigilant, and the two groups of orcs take turns to guard the opposite side, and at the same time take turns to rest."
To this, Bey nodded in agreement, mainly because he couldn't think of a better way.
After the matter was ordered, the orc camp quickly implemented it.
And the soldiers on the city wall, after discovering this situation, reported the discovery to Li Chuan as soon as possible.
In this regard, Li Chuan meant to continue to attack and reduce the combat power of those orcs as much as possible.
