Chapter 163 Defeating the Opponent

Richard led the Warcraft Cavalry to open the gap, and the heavy cavalry that followed immediately rushed in along the gap.

Richard and Thoros were both higher-level professionals. Using the two of them as arrows, they rushed towards the place where the orcs were the most numerous and densely gathered, and defeated their opponents with the most violent and ferocious attacks.

The cavalry roared and roared across the orc formation.

The orc captain was unwilling to escape. He waved his spear and knocked a warcraft cavalry off his horse, but was hit hard by the iron horned horse.

Even a fifth-level wild boar man could not withstand such a powerful inertial impact. He immediately took a few steps back, tripped over the corpse at his feet and fell to the ground.

Just as the wild boar captain was about to stand up, he was immediately trampled to the ground by the Warcraft horse.

The iron horned horse has a huge body, weighing about 2,500 kilograms. The horse is covered with nearly 200 kilograms of heavy armor. Adding the weight of the knight, armor, weapons, etc., the weight is almost more than three thousand kilograms.

Even though the fifth-level wild boar man had rough skin and thick flesh, with a weight of three thousand kilograms pressed on his stomach, severe pain immediately penetrated his bones.

The fifth-level wild boar man immediately became furious and wildly activated his fighting energy. A huge force came from his body, and he overturned a three-thousand-jin iron can, and then stabbed the iron horned horse's abdomen with a spear.

When the Iron Wild Horse was about to die, it went crazy and immediately fired an energy missile, hitting the wild boar man's chest, shattering the iron armor on the wild boar man's body and leaving his chest bloody and bloody.

Although injured, the wild boar captain also successfully defeated two Warcraft Cavalry. It was preparing to continue its attack, but Thoros had already taken the lead, opened his bow, took a shovel arrow, and aimed at the opponent.

The distance between the two sides was less than ten steps, with six or seven riders in between.

Six or seven cavalrymen waved their weapons, and there was only a slight gap before they were caught by Soros.

Shovel arrows are heavy arrows specially used to break armor, with short range and sufficient power. Thoros let go decisively, and the shovel arrow was aimed at the chest of the wild boar man.

Richard likes to aim at the head when shooting his enemies, and Soros likes to aim at the chest when shooting.

The shovel arrow hit the wild boar man hard, directly penetrating the wild boar man.

An arrow pierced his heart and he died on the spot.

As soon as the orc captain died, the command immediately became chaotic, and the two organized orc squadrons were immediately defeated by the Warcraft Cavalry.

The remaining orc soldiers panicked and fled the camp, throwing away their helmets and armor. They wished they had lost two legs and fled into the forest near the camp.

With only three hundred cavalry around Richard, it was impossible to intercept the orcs.

This battle could only be a rout, and more than 600 people were killed.

Most of the orc soldiers successfully fled into the valley.

This operation was originally a reconnaissance mission. Unexpectedly, the orcs' defense was lax. When fighter planes appeared, Richard decisively changed the reconnaissance into a surprise attack. He defeated the opponent in one fell swoop, captured the orcs' station, and cut off the retreat of the Gunderson orcs. (っ◔◡◔)っ

"It's a pity that we didn't bring the main force of infantry with us when we came out. If we had a few squadrons of infantry to assist us, we could have completely wiped out our opponents in this battle."

Roland looked at the orcs who fled into the forest and said with regret.

"Unexpected things always happen on the battlefield. We don't know how to predict spells? The reason why we didn't bring infantry at that time was to facilitate escape. Once the orcs were ambushed, it would be inconvenient to withdraw with infantry. I thought that not bringing infantry would also have disadvantages. , unexpectedly failed to annihilate all opponents.”

While Thoros was talking, he cut off the head of the fifth-level wild boar. This head can be exchanged for three medium skills, which is one step closer to becoming a hereditary baron.

The soldiers cleaned the battlefield and seized a batch of grain and dried meat.

Richard didn't dare let the soldiers eat the meat stored by the orcs. Who knew if there was human flesh in it?

All the meat was buried and destroyed by Richard, and the food was taken away as much as possible, and any that could not be taken away would be destroyed.

In addition to grain and dried meat, the military depot also stocked some weapons and armor. These weapons and armor were prepared for the orcs and could not be used directly by human soldiers.

It needs to be sent back to the territory to be refurbished, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron can be considered an income.

The most precious materials are some Warcraft materials.

When this orc group entered the Eagle Mountains, they discovered an earth dragon beast.

Although Earthdramon is a high-level monster and very powerful, it is not a match for an orc brigade after all.

After killing the Earth Dragon Beast, the materials on the Warcraft became cheaper for the Orcs.

Dragon marrow fluid, magic core, animal skins, animal bones, including blood and internal organs were all carefully collected by the orcs.

Now that the orcs have been defeated, this batch of warcraft materials has all become cheaper for Richard.

The dragon marrow liquid can still be exchanged for benefits with Duke Jonathan. The magic core can be used for magic research and is a treasure that provides magic power.

The skin of the earth dragon beast can be used to make a batch of enchanted leather armor, and the dragon tendons can be made into bow strings, which Richard plans to use to make a batch of magic crossbows.

The last time the wyvern was killed, the Harland territory gained great benefits.

Is there such a benefit from defeating the orc army this time?

The location of the orc military station is very dangerous. If Richard sends heavy troops to garrison it, it will cut off Gunderson's retreat.

The grain road is cut off, if Graveson Castle can hold it. Gunderson's army must have no way of survival.

But according to Richard's analysis, relying on two main squadrons and facing four brigades of orcs, Graveson Castle simply cannot be defended.

Although Richard lied to them about having reinforcements, it could boost the morale of the defenders.

But the contrast in strength is too great. Unless the defenders can create a miracle of war, Graveson Castle will definitely fall within a day or two.

Since it is a miracle, it must be very rare.

There are extraordinary powers in the Dawn Plane, and the role of strategies has been greatly reduced.

Most wars are won or lost by head-on confrontation, by strength and national power to overwhelm the opponent.

If Graveson Castle is lost, the Baronies of Harland, Diram, and Bazel will all expose their soft underbelly.

The orcs will enter the territory to burn, kill, and loot, and will attack Fort William from behind to open the offensive channel and take over the Harland Valley.

The defense of Fort William is mainly aimed at the north of the castle. If the orcs raid from the south, most of the geographical advantages will be lost, and the castle will be difficult to defend.

Once Fort William is taken by the orcs, the population of the territory will be slaughtered and looted by the orcs. Richard will defend the Harland Valley and block the orcs' retreat. This battle will also be a big loss.

Blocking the orcs' food supply will help the overall war.

However, the security of the Harland territory will be threatened by the orcs, which is not good for the development of the territory.

Abandoning the orc military station, bringing the soldiers back to the territory, cooperating with the Black River County noble coalition, and defending the territory from the orcs is the correct choice. Richard is only a baron of the Harland family, not the commander of the Northern Army, so he will naturally choose a tactic that is beneficial to the territory.
