As soon as the orcs on the front foot escaped from the city, the gate of the city on the back foot was breached.

If they let the elephant men attack the city, they would definitely be able to break through the city faster.

But Li Chuan has his own plan, if nothing else, this city is estimated to become their frontline stronghold in the next period of time.

If the city gate is smashed, it can be repaired again, but if the city walls are all smashed, it will undoubtedly take a lot of energy and material resources to repair.

As soon as the army entered the city gates, they found the leader of the boar people who had fallen near the city gates.

After making sure it was dead, the two minotaurs dragged the body of the boar leader out of the city gate to prevent it from blocking the way of the army behind.

After entering the city, Li Chuan motioned to the military doctor to treat the wounded soldiers' injuries, and then asked the human soldiers under his command to collect the human slaves.

On the other side, the hyena people and the boar people fled quickly to the east after leaving the city.

Because the threat of the Crusade Army was there, they didn't dare to stay at all, for fear that the other party would chase and kill them, so they all tried their best to escape there.

Soon, the previous city was left far behind them.

Looking at the palm-sized city behind him, a hyena man breathed a sigh of relief, his heart full of joy.

It's been so far, the other party can't catch up with them anymore, right?

However, just as they were thinking this, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out from behind the hill on one side.

The sudden attack completely caught them off guard.

By the time they came to their senses, the rain of arrows had already fallen directly, and there was no way to avoid it.

A rain of arrows fell, and the orcs who had just escaped from the city were like wheat, and a large field was harvested in an instant.

However, the five hundred Red Fox Archers who were ambushed here would not stop their offensive like this.

Round after round of arrow rain attacks, these hyenas and wild boars were completely powerless to parry, and they could only hug their heads and run away.

The Red Fox Archers did not pursue the orcs who escaped their range, but continued to shoot those who were still within their range.

Those who had escaped the range of their bows and arrows were fleeing desperately, hoping to get out as quickly as possible.

However, the Twin Blade Warrior Wolves, who had been waiting for the front, would not let them go so easily.

A flash of light and shadow flashed, each light and shadow represented an attack by the double-knife wolves, and also represented the loss of an orc's life.

Seeing her subordinates being slaughtered by the double-knife wolves, the hyena queen chose to flee instead of making a move.

It thought very clearly, as long as it was still there, it would be able to establish a race of hyena people again, on the contrary, if it was gone, no matter how prosperous the hyena people were, what did it have to do with her?

But again, if it wants to leave, it has to ask Richard if he agrees.

"Want to go? Ask me if I can say yes to the double knife in my hand! ”

Looking at the werewolf standing in front of him, the hyena queen's two eyeballs instantly turned red.

"Get out of here!"

The Hyena Queen rushed towards Richard in a fierce posture, and Richard quickly dodged when he saw this, and at the same time waved the war knife in his hand, leaving a wound on the Hyena Queen's body.

The hyena queen was in pain, but she didn't stop and continued to flee into the distance.

It turned out that its previous offensive was nothing more than a fake, in order to create a chance for itself to escape.

Seeing this, Richard chased after the hyena queen, and trembled with her.

The Hyena Queen knows she doesn't

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If you get rid of Richard, you can't escape, so you turn around and fight him.

In terms of size alone, the Hyena Queen is a lap bigger than Richard, and her strength is also much greater than him.

Fortunately, Richard had fought against other hyena queens before, and knew that the hyena queen had more strength than speed.

Therefore, from the beginning, he did not think about going head-to-head with it, but chose to fight.

Every time Richard avoided the hyena queen's attacks, he would leave several scars on her body, and as time passed, the hyena queen's body became more and more weak.

On the other side, under the joint efforts of the Red Fox Archers and the Twin Sword Wolves, the number of orcs is also rapidly decreasing.

This was a premeditated ambush, and Li Chuan, who had a map of their orc forces, had determined from the beginning that if these orcs wanted to escape, they would definitely flee in this direction.

Therefore, before he officially launched a frontal attack, he let the Red Fox Archers and the Twin Sword Wolves ambush here to intercept and kill the possible orc troops.

And this is also the reason why when the two armies fought before, the double-knife wolf did not appear.

As for why Li Chuan set up the ambush point here, instead of the city gate, it was on purpose.

The first is to prevent these orcs from being trapped after losing their way out, causing unnecessary casualties.

The second is to allow these orcs to run more and further reduce their physical strength.

In this way, even if they find themselves in the encirclement, they will not have the strength to resist.

Facts have proved that Li Chuan's arrangement this time was a success.

The orc troops, who had serious physical exertion, were powerless to resist in the face of ambushes, and were killed in a short period of time by the double-sword wolf and the red fox archers.

At the same time as the battle between the two-knife wolf and the red fox archer ended, Richard also cut off the head of the hyena queen with one sword!

After confirming that all of the orcs were dead, they quickly gathered the corpses together and set them on fire with oil.

On the city wall, looking at the smoke in the distance, a smile appeared on Li Chuan's face.

He knew that the ambush he had arranged in advance had been successful.

"General, the number of humans in the city has been counted, and there are two thousand nine hundred and seventy-six in total."

Hearing the lieutenant's words, the smile on Li Chuan's face disappeared instantly, and his brows were furrowed.

He had expected that there were human slaves in the city, but it was too many.

Although they brought enough food in this crusade, there were nearly 3,000 more mouths at once, which they could not afford.

After all, their entire Eastern Expeditionary Army was only more than 5,000 people.

You must know that every time the grain is transported from the rear, there is a ration, and the problem of one or two hundred more people is not a big problem, but there are so many more people at once, and before the next batch of grain and grass arrives, the grain they carry will have to be eaten.

However, calculating the time, the next batch of grain should already be on the way, they will save some during this time, and when the time comes, let the grain transport team send these people back to Great Xia.

Subsequently, Li Chuan wrote a report and then asked a team of werewolves to send back to Great Xia.

Werewolves are the only class of the Crusade that can still move quickly in the forest.

But even so, by the time they sent the report back to Great Xia City, it would already be twelve days later.

When the news of the first victory of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the capture of an orc city came back to Xia Qi's hands, he was still in a good mood.

At the same time, this battle report also contains a lot of information about the power of the orcs in the east.

Judging from the wild boar people who appeared on the battlefield alone, it fully shows that the orc force in the west is not a single beast

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Human race.

But whether they joined forces to form an alliance, or whether they were swallowed up by a powerful orc tribe one by one, is unknown.

Just when Xia Qi was thinking like this, the deputy commander of the embroidered clothes guard made Zhou Xing enter the palace to meet him.

The embroidered clothes guard is a new department established by Xia Qi to replace Tiqi.

As for the Ti Cai, let them be in charge of their old job of catching thieves in the past.

Because Zhang Liang, the former director of the Tiqi Division, has been masturbated by Xia Qi, the second-in-command was forced to carry the pot, and he is in prison at this time, and the third-in-command is righteous, supervising hundreds of officials outside.

Therefore, the director of this Tiqi Division is not an old man in the Tiqi Division, but recommended by Pan.

Pan personally recommended people, but Xia Qi was surprised for a while.

This is the first time in so many years that Pan has recommended someone.

But then again, the guy Iwa recommended is still very good.

This person is called Zhidu, although the courage value is only three stars, but the intelligence and command are four stars, but he is a good candidate.

In line with the idea of replacing people if it didn't work, Xia Qi appointed Zhi Du as the director of the Tiqi Division.

Zhi Du was also angry, and in a short period of time, he cleaned up the people who disobeyed him, and restored the original lifeless Tiqi Division to its original appearance.

Let's get to the point.

This Zhou Xing was originally in charge of interrogating prisoners in the Tiqisi Prison, and he was a bit perverted.

On weekdays, he is not greedy for money or lustful, but he likes to interrogate prisoners.

The more the prisoner screamed, the more excited he became.

Often, before the prisoner was interrogated, he was beaten half to death by Zhou Xing's hideous face.

In particular, the higher the status and the more special the prisoner being interrogated, the more excited he became.

"Weichen Zhou Xing, see Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy."

Looking at Zhou Xing below, Xia Qi asked, "Zhou Xing, did you come to see you this time?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is all the information that Wechen got from the mouths of those hyena people."

As he spoke, Zhou Xing respectfully presented a report.

After quickly reading the information presented by Zhou Xing, Xia Qi's two eyebrows had unconsciously wrinkled together, and the expression on his face became solemn.

Those orcs from the east were stronger than he expected.

Xia Qi asked Zhou Xing to retreat at the same time, and called Zhang Liang over.

"Master Zhang."

Zhou Xing greeted Zhang Liang very politely, but he didn't know why, in the face of the other party's eyes, he only felt a cold neck.

Zhang Liang nodded at him and walked away, while Zhou Xing glanced at Zhang Liang's back, and then bowed his head and left.

There was a flash of longing in his eyes.

Zhang Liang's current status in Daxia is equivalent to being a prime minister in ancient China, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.

Let's ask, apart from Xia Qi, is there anyone in Mandaxia who has a higher status than him?

If you can torture him, then your life will be complete.

However, Zhou Xing himself also knew that Zhang Liang crushing himself was like crushing an ant, and depending on the degree of the other party's hand, he could only think about this idea in his heart.

After the discussion between Xia Qi and Zhang Liang, it was finally decided not to withdraw the army, and he was ready to fight a protracted war.

This is mainly to prevent them from launching an attack on Great Xia in advance after they withdraw their troops, after the strength gap of the orcs in the east is discovered to the point where they are discovered.

It is better to have a war in someone else's house than in your own home.
