Chapter 134 Unexpected War (Part 2)
"Lord Baron, even if something happens to Luke's Fortress and the defense is empty, it cannot be captured in a short while.
Why don't we send more sentries to suppress the enemy? There are scouts who exist, and then quietly approach the battlefield, find out the battlefield situation before making a decision, and we are all cavalry, so our mobility is not to mention, we can outrun the enemy even if we can't defeat it."
Six hundred elite commanders under the new income Villefort made a relatively safe suggestion. The information is incomplete now, and forcing a decision is completely gambling on luck, so it is better to understand the situation before taking the next step.
As for the widespread sentry cavalry, this is a conventional means of cavalry warfare. Using a large number of sentry cavalry to suppress and hunt the opponent's scouts is equivalent to making the enemy deaf or blind, and firmly holding the initiative in the war in one's own hands.
So Li Wei made a prompt decision and adopted Villefort's suggestion. He sent more than 40 knights with reconnaissance experience of level 3 or above, including Villefort, Harland and others, to scatter around the brigade. At the same time, they moved at ten kilometers per hour. The speed slows forward.
In addition, Levi also directed Fat Zi to quickly approach Luke's Fortress to find out the battle situation at Luke's Fortress.
At this time, Luke's Fortress fell into a fierce fighting.
"Hold on! You can't retreat! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
"There is a gap in the defense of the city wall in District 14, and
we are in urgent need of support!" "Come on, boys, I will reward you for being the first one to climb the city wall!"
"Kill!"
"Where's the alchemy bomb? Bring the alchemy bomb out quickly!"
"Sir, the quota of alchemy bombs for this section of our city wall has been used up!"
"Hahaha, boys, when we break this fortress, we will all Army banquet for three days!"
"Enemy arrows! Be careful to hide!"
"Captain! The vice-captain is killed!"
"Alchemy giant crossbow, aim at the lion man, don't save alchemy crossbow arrows!"
"Sir, the other side is too fast. , we missed!"
"Waste!"
"Lord Viscount, we have basically figured out that there are about 10,000 orcs in the sneak attack, of which the most threatening are 2,000 lions, and the remaining 8,000 orcs are centaurs. and tauren each accounted for half.
As for the strong ones, we observed that there should be at least two sun-level strong men in the opponent's army, including a sun-level lion and a sun-level tauren. Whether there is a third one is not yet known. It's clear.
Fortunately, the orcs haven't fully figured out our details yet, and none of the Sun Sun and Silver Moon masters have taken action at will."
The adjutant closed the information book and stood in front of Viscount Hells, waiting for the other party's instructions.
"Send the order to speed up the defense construction of the inner city, and tell Dressrosa on the city wall, forget it, I will go there myself." "
Lord Viscount, is it too dangerous?"
"There is nothing dangerous on the battlefield. , I am already a bad old man who is half buried in the ground, and I am still afraid of these things.
And even though I am old, is there anyone in this Luke Fortress who can fight better than me?"
The adjutant was speechless for a moment, which was not good either. Continue to discourage.
"As long as the outer city holds on for another two hours without showing any signs of cowardice, and the inner city holds on for another four hours, we are still very likely to wait for reinforcements. Although
this army of ten thousand people outside the city, which can be called the main army of the orcs, looks fierce, it is nothing more than They are just rootless duckweeds. They probably came here on a quick march with no backup at all."
Fat Zi, who was flying very fast, soon arrived at an altitude of five thousand meters away from the battlefield. Worried about being noticed by the orcs, Li Wei and Didn't let Fat Zi get too close.
"Good guy, there are so many orcs, there are indeed ten thousand orcs, and there are no civilian coolies or anything like that, they are all combat troops." "Those seem to be lion men? That lion man is so big, he should be a Sunshine Lion man. Yes."
"There are quite a few tauren sandbags in front of me. There should be a Sunshine-level tauren over there." "With
so many centaur archers, it stands to reason that there should be a Sunshine-level centaur. Let me look for it. It turned out to be hidden here."
"Good guy, there are three Sunshine-level orcs, but this lineup should not be able to do anything to Luke's Fortress. Could it be that Luke's Fortress is empty of troops for some reason?"
Levi had already guessed eight or more at this moment. At the same time, in order to meet the troops withdrawing from the front line, the entire battalion of Ice Knights and two thousand soldiers in Luke's Fortress were dispatched.
In fact, it is not the carelessness of Viscount Hells who is guarding Luke's Fortress. The main reason is that Count Mensa's army that retreated from the front line has been pursued by the orcs one after another. It is already in a collapsed posture and must be encouraged by a strong reinforcement force. Give morale a boost.
Moreover, it was a dangerous move for the orcs to send such an army of 10,000 people to surprise Luke Fortress, because if they did not do well, they could easily be defeated by the returning Earl of Mensa's army, and they would be annihilated here in Luke Fortress.
However, the orcs seem to have won their bet. The defense of Luke's Fortress has reached a shaky point. When the time comes, the tens of thousands of troops commanded by Count Mensa will be cut off by the orcs, and then the entire army will be annihilated.
"Send the signal and speed up the march towards Luke Fortress!"
At this time, Levi and the others were still about ten kilometers away from Luke Fortress, but the outer city of Luke Fortress seemed to be unable to withstand it.
Ding!
As expected of a ruthless man who was almost awarded the title of earl for his military exploits, Viscount Hells, whose sword was still young, found the enemy's flaw several times, cut off the claws of a fifth-level lion man with one sword, and then chopped it off with another sword. Take the opponent's head.
"Send the order! Everyone retreats to the inner city according to the exercise plan, and the wizards accompanying the army activate the Sun Array!"
"Lord Viscount, do you really want to activate the Sun Array?"
"Execute the order!"
Earl Hells, who has white hair and beard, just As soon as he raised his eyes, the adjutant felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Yes!"
"Accelerate, accelerate! Go at full speed!"
Through Fat Zi's perspective, the situation in Luke's Fortress was getting worse and worse, and Levi couldn't help but become anxious.
He understood the strategic significance of Luke's Fortress very well, and knew that once it was captured by the orcs, the frontline army would be annihilated, and the newly expanded five counties would be in danger of overthrowing.
"No, the walls of Luke's Fortress are completely occupied by orcs!"
"Baron, there is still a chance. Luke's Fortress has an inner city. I believe-"
A burst of bright light suddenly interrupted Beram's words. What followed was a violent tremor and a roar ten times stronger than thunder.
"Is this a self-destructing magic circle?"
As a wizard, Levi is certainly no stranger to this.
"Damn, damn! Cunning humans, I will tear them into pieces!"
As the actual supreme commander of this army of ten thousand people, the lion man Perez Fagan roared angrily, but the anger in his heart not only did not Being able to get catharsis makes it even more turbulent.
But before he could recover from his endless anger, a thunderous sound of horse hooves struck from behind.
"Enemy attack!"
